I have so many funny pictures of Jellybean being the silly little boy he is meant to be. I love his sweet, affectionate, determined, GOOFY personality. He really is turning into his dad's mini me.
Speed it up....no slow it down! With Baby Boy #3 making an appearance in the next month or so, I find myself anxiously waiting to meet this little man and Googling "ways to induce labor." You'd think I'd be a pro at it by now, but nope. And this time around, I feel like I need a refresher in delivery room shenanigans since it's been a whopping 2 years since my last baby was born. The gap between Charles and Thomas is so little that I felt like a pro when it came time to deliver Thomas. I'm really glad I wrote down their birth stories in this forum because re-reading them has been extremely helpful. I also noticed things I completely forgot about and I'm glad that those memories aren't gone forever. While I impatiently wait for the aches and pains of this last trimester in pregnancy to go away, I also find myself wishing to prolong it just a little longer. As we speak, little man is doing some sort of ninja move in my belly. I'll miss th...
It's Easier As I waited very impatiently for Tater Tot to come out, I never really stressed about the labor process. Sure, I worried about knowing when to get to the hospital on time, but I wasn't too worried about the whole being in the hospital part. Probably because my delivery with Jellybean was relatively easy and turns out, so was my delivery with Tater Tot. Something I was totally dreading though was the post part recovery. Oh my goodness I remember that being the worst thing ever. I described that recovery period to my friends as trying to rebuild an area that had suffered through a serious war. Fortunately, I'm learning that recovery the second time around is actually much easier! Maybe it's just me and every woman is different, but I'm pretty grateful that I get to say it's easier. I was terrified of using the bathroom after I had Tater Tot because of the trauma I feel like I went through with Jellybean, but nope, no...
Been There Done That Hospital Bag packing! I'm only 34 weeks but my nesting/baby preparation instincts have gone into overdrive recently. I have so many ideas and to do lists in my head that need to get organized. I splurged and bought an Erin Condren Life Planner last week and I can't wait for it to come and turn the chaos in my mind to something legible on beautifully printed paper with lots of washi tape and post its! Have I mentioned that I am obsessed with office supplies? I've organized the boys' room and find myself not being able to sit still since then because there are things I think I just need to do and organize. Yesterday I worked in the craft room (which is a huge mess) and then got distracted re-organizing the broom closet. Then I saw that the nails/screws/tools we have in another closet were a big mess and that needed some work too....like I said, the list goes on. I need to write this down! But my current obsession is getting my hospital bag packed ...
