MW appointment  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Everything went fine. Baby is doing great. Measurements, etc were all good. Showed her the birth kit and there are only a few more things I need to gather. Can't believe I'm going to be seeing her again in 2 weeks!

So, the midwife was wonderful...as usual.

My kids, on the other hand, we completely off the hook! OMG. Next time, I swear I'm locking them in the closet beforehand.:

You'd think they never received any attention from anyone. Or ever got fed... My 21 month old I can understand. But, my 6.5 year old?!? I got so angry and frustrated with her that I told her I don't want her around anymore when the midwives are here.: Yes, another shining parenting moment for me...

I kept asking her to find something to do so that we could finish up the appointment and then I would spend time with her and get her whatever she needed. Well...she refused. Meanwhile, dd2 is playing the piano and singing at the top of her lungs!

Whenever the midwife wanted to touch me in any way, both girls practically tackled me!

As soon as she left, dd1 takes off running across the house and down the stairs, yelling "TV TIME, TV TIME!" What happened the the desperate need to be in constant physical contact with Mommy?!?! OH... I told her to forget about the TV and go find something else to do...

Dh received a very nice e-mail from me afterwards... Poor guy. Hey, at least I knew my limits and didn't CALL him on the phone and take it out on him...right?

Thankfully, dd2 fell asleep right after eating lunch. I feel like I'm getting a little bit of space to breathe...

Aww, I'm sorry, I've been smothered lately too. I'm trying sooooo hard to be patient. My kids weird out when a strange adult is around and act totally goofy.

Yeah, we had both kids at the MW appt on Sat and that was a nightmare so I totally feel your pain!

But so glad that everything is going well. Yeah, it's nuts to be at the every 2 wks stage now isn't it?!

See...the thing is, though...she's NOT a stranger!

She was our birth doula with dd2.

And, we've had EVERY single prenatal appointment this time at our house!

Ugh. SO sorry. My DD has been acting up a bit lately too. I love her to pieces, but I just couldn't wait for her to go to bed tonight!

I hear you!!!! My kids are each driving me bonkers in their own way and this week is tough with hubby gone. The homework thing is killing me and my youngest is being SO stubborn. And if I hear my 12 year old yell OH MY GOD< MOM! again, my head just might spin!!!

My 9 year old has been doing stuff that I just cannot understand at all! He acts like he's two years old! Playing with soap in the sink, rubbing his fingers in the butter, studying wrongly spelled vocab words because he didn't bother to get them corrected, etc. :
