It was better until tonight. It's been one heck of a night trying to get my son to bed (as in it's 11:30pm and he's still not asleep, but thankfully DH just got home!!!) and laying on his bed caused it to go NUTS for whatever reason. While I've been at home I've just been keeping my belly bare.
Tomorrow is my son's 2nd birthday! Thanks to him refusing to sleep I haven't gotten the balloons blown up that I was going to leave outside of his bedroom door to wake up to.....I haven't made his birthday breakfast muffins.....or cupcakes....or well, anything done for his birthday really. I'm pretty much of the mind set of just ignoring his birthday tomorrow and celebrating it on Saturday. I'm so tired and miserable right now. Despite going to bed so late he'll be up at 7am I'm sure....and will be super duper grumpy all day as a result.

Sunday sounds like a fine plan to me! Why not?

By the way, do you use fabric softeners? They could cause a reaction.....even from DS's sheets.

So sorry you had a rough night! I say just celebrate a day late too! He'll never know and you can get some rest.

Nope. Stopped all of that when we started CDing. We don't even use dryer sheets (and use F&C detergent). My stomach is looking better even if I have more bumps. It's like it needs air and nothing touching it. Guess I'll be an itchy mess tonight at DH's squadron event cause I can't exactly walk around there bare bellied.

Today is rough. He did wake up at 7:15am and was a huge mess (DH was already long gone to work of course). After 2 hours of trying to get him to sleep this morning I gave up. We managed to survive through breakfast and he got one of his presents (the one I couldn't wrap lol) which helped occupy him. DH dropped by at 10:30 and got him to sleep for an early nap - and now DH is off again!

My SIL told me I didn't have to do anything and she'll do it all when she gets in tomorrow even if it means she has to bake the cupcakes (already planning on ordering pizza for lunch). Love her! I will get through baking cupcakes before they come though because SIL doesn't cook from scratch and would look at me like I have 5 heads when I hand her a cake recipe from scratch.

Go take a nap!

He only slept an hour and I'm not a napper. Oh and the 2 cups of coffee Zoe didn't need wouldn't lead me to sleep anyways. lol

Aiden feeling better after his nap? Zoe still normal after getting beat up by her big brother?

I've continued to feel enough movement to know she's alive. She's usually not very active during the day, so if anything I've felt her a bit more than usual this afternoon.

Aiden has done better this afternoon, but that's not really saying much considering how it was beforehand. But we've survived the afternoon and are about to head off to DH's squadron potluck. Aiden did decide when we went out to check the mail that he needed to run off down the street and around the corner. It's official, I cannot run anymore! Even my bad attempt at jogging was super hard on me. Just glad I caught him, but carrying him kicking and screaming home has given me lots of pelvic pressure. By far the worst I've ever had!

(((hugs))) I hope you get some time to relax soon!

Your SIL sounds wonderful!
I hope you get a chance to relax and rest soon.
