My due date is one month from today.
23 days until my C section! Holy crap! And to think I'm working all the way up to this at one of my jobs is crazy and the other one a week before!
I actually need to start thinking of packing our bags. Especially Gracelynn who will be at my parents for several days! At least we'll be coming home on a Friday so Aaron and I can figure two kids 14 months apart before he goes back to work on that Monday!

Best advice, have her on schedule!!

@kkmamax3, thats the plan. Our 14 month old has always been on a schedule and is very routine based. We're hoping to do the same for the baby. I'll have my mom to help a few hours during the day weather permitting while my husband is at work. Hardest part is Gracelynn isn't walking yet. But I'll manage while recovering somehow

Good luck hope she starts walking soon it makes things a lot easier and some days will be hard but in no time it will all seem easy my older kids are 16m apart and my 3rd and 4th are 13m apart

My daughter wasn’t walking either when I had my youngest. Take your meds when your supposed to.. sleep while you can. And also another that would really help you out is, starting some freezer meals, that way you can just throw it all in pot/oven/ crock pot.

@kkmamax3, we already started that. And my husband is more the cook than I am. He goes to work very early in the morning so he's home by early to mid afternoon which is helpful. I know I'll have the nights like I did with our first which is fine. At least this time I'm not going back to a full time job.

@toshagager1988, once we get a routine it'll be fine. When I go back to work it'll be interesting. I work afternoons and evenings so my husband basically comes home and I go to work a few days a week. If he's not going to make it in time; my mom comes over until he gets home.
The only times it gets really tricky are the holidays because he's a delivery driver. The past few weeks he's been so late, my mom has had to put our daughter to bed or once when she couldn't stay late; so I left work early to come home since my husband let me know he was stuck at work late.

@gracelynnsmama oh man that has to suck I'm glad I get to stay home I was working a couple years ago but I lost my job so hubby had to go back to work

@toshagager1988, I set my own schedule. So I try as much as possible to work his days we know he's home earlier since he has designated routes. But not always the case. Up until recently I was working 3 days a week. Now I'm doing two between my two clinician positions. He only wants me going back the minimum so I'm home more, but we need to also financially support two babies in diapers and live comfortably. We'll figure it out. I'm taking 9 weeks off which will be nice then I'll slowly get my feet wet again😂
