The Lateset

So I went to the doctors today, and am a "tight 3" dilated and still about 60% effaced. My doc told me if I haven't had the baby by the 3rd he will induce me. So if i don't have the baby sometime this week I will be having him on the 3rd. It was kind of crazy to schedule when my baby will be here, but exciting too. If anyone has any advice on having a newborn with a 2 year old around, I am all ears!

Well good luck this week for starters! ;) I made sure to get Reiker a present FROM Blaikly that we gave to him when we got home and I think it was helpful. Then the Dr. at the hospital recommended that right away we leave Blaikly on a blanket on the floor and ask Reiker to watch her for a second. I think that helped too. We did it a few times the first couple of days. We definitely can't complain though, cuz Reiker pretty much left her alone mostly but now he LIVES to make her laugh... It's SO fun to watch them interact!

If she is anything like my 2 year old, don't leave them unattended in the same room! Other than that I found with my second and now my third that the baby is the easy part...it's trying to entertain the other kids that is exhausting. Put together some things before you have the baby that you can easily pull out for her to do while you feed the baby and stuff. I'm sure you'll do great. I on the other hand am wondering how in the world I'm going to be able to handle 3!?!

Me,too. I am all ears. I was induced and it was the strangest this driving to the hospital to have my baby and I felt perfectly normal (well and normal as you can feel at 9+ months). Good luck to you. I hear Laura is in labor as i type. I am so excited for you two!
