November 2013 babies!

[Lizzie Lizard]

I go in this morning to the OB and I was going to ask where she was... She is moving so much! My stomach was completely lop-sided last night. It was funny.

In other news, my son told his favorite preschool teacher that "we don't want him anymore because we have a baby coming". I felt so bad when I first heard, then I was kinda annoyed. We really haven't done anything for this baby yet that has impacted his life. (I get that it still is a change and I should be sympathetic.) Mostly, I just know him and I think he was trying to get attention at school from his favorite teacher!

When he got home I talked to him and he seemed surprised I knew. haha He said he was just kidding? I told him he loved him and would not give him up for all the babies in the world and then he switched to he never said it.

You guys ever go through something like this with your kids?

Maya wrap is great for little babies. DD lived in hers the first 6 weeks. I got a ring sling for this baby. Excited to try it out.
DS2 (my 34 weeker) flipped around constantly until birth. He was so tiny though. He just happened to be head down the day I went for an emergency induction.

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your ds Lizzie. He might just be apprehensive about the new arrival. It's probably a good idea to let him share his concerns so you can get it all out in the open. A new sibling can be a massive adjustment. I'm hoping my boys cope ok but you can never tell until it happens.

Speaking of troubles with DS, mine has been flat out rotten the past few days. He is outraged that I won't let him color on our furniture, eat his crayons or that I make him eat with a baby fork vs adult size. It's like the end of the world for him and the screaming is pressing my buttons. Ugh, feels like everything I do makes it worse. Sometimes he's a great kid but other times he's so difficult. I am getting very worried about how he's going to react when the new baby comes. I'm not sure why he's acting up so much now. I have been very uncomfortable with my growing bump and not sleeping well so my temper is short right now anyway. I also have constant heartburn now which is making things more difficult too. Sorry, just had to vent.

Just bought my first ring sling! lol I am so excited for it to get here, so I can start learning how to use it. May have to use one of Brooklyn's dolls haha. Have had a pretty good week, same pains as always, BH contractions non stop, joys of a irritable uterus.... My stomach also feels so full? I feel like I am in for a big belly growth soon. Am also starting to feel sick again after I eat meals.... Thought I got rid of that in the first tri. For the most part I am not worried at how my kids will take the new baby. That's only because they are all still pretty young and having babies around doesn't seem that odd to them, I guess. The only one I am worried about is our youngest DS, he will be 2 in December. He is sooo clingy compared to the rest of the kids, I am worried at how he will react to having me hold a baby all the time. That's another big reason I am wanting the sling. I am hoping that if I am holding the baby in it and he wants to be held by me or something, I can still have my arms/hip open for him to join us. Also he may not notice as much because he won't be able to see the baby well if she is in the sling. Just a thought I guess. Hope everyone is well. We are doing NOTHING this weekend! I love going out and doing things as a family, but sometimes its nice to not have any plans what so ever for an entire weekend (extended to boot).

Babygirl4me, if it helps my son is up to the same tricks! Most days he doesn't want to brush his teeth, take a bath, go to school (he has never wanted to go to school), etc. He has gotten so clingy too. It makes me worried. Oh well, he will have to adjust. I figure something will have to give!! Hang in there. I know it's tough!

Excited for your sling, Zem. Does everyone else feel like you had lots of time and now there is hardly any left? I am almost through my list of things I want to get done, but still haven't started on the shared nursery decorating. I am still feeling good, but have started to feel a little more tired. It's so so hot here though that I wonder if it's the heat? LA always does this, get hot in September and October. We have no AC so it is miserable in the house!

On man, I have just now started to get things done. I have like 3 things on my list done...lol No where ready for this baby what so ever. Missed my 28 week apt today... Though it was next week. Oh dang I guess I don't get to have my special drink for another week...lol Our crib and bassinet are still in the storage. I only got out our car seat to make sure it hasn't been recalled or anything since we last used it in 2011. Wonder who will be the first to go out of our group? Anyone have a guess if you will go early or late? I know I won't go past 39 weeks, unless something goes wrong and I can't be induced. I hope I go before 39 weeks though..

Yes I wonder who will be first. I'm waiting until I go on maternity leave before I sort things out because I have just been so tired all the time and DH hasn't been around much for different reasons so I've been handling the house/kids by myself mostly. Three weeks left of work, can't wait to finish. I have bought a what I need for the nursery just have to make/sort/paint. We're on holiday first week of maternity leave so that will be nice. I'm hoping to have her on the 1st Nov that would make me 38weeks but I think that's probably wishful thinking.
Ds 1 was induced 12days late ds2 was 8 days early. Id like to go on the 1st because it's on the Friday of a long weekend here and DH will have 3 days off without any stress.

Very excited to be having a new addition I am so in love with this little boy repeat csection set for 11-11 hopefully I'll make it that far me and ob doubt I'll make it that far lol.
