  • 1. I had to go out yesterday and wasn't sure if LO would need to eat during that time. I packed a 4 ounce bottle of BM, never used it and forgot to take it out of my bag until this morning :( I hate wasting milk!

    2. Savannah Guthry's engagement ring is beautiful, I'm happy for her!  

    3. I got my first pp period on mother's day.  

    4. My H's 30th birthday is this week and I still don't have a gift for him.

    Still weaning from the pump :( but feeling good about the decision.  Taking it reeeeally slow to cut out the sessions because A. Callan has a cold and started DC (but in my head and heart, I know she would still have a cold regardless if she was exclusively FF or getting BM, doesn't make a diff).  B. I don't want my boobies to hurt. 

    I wistfully allowed myself to fantasize that if I had another baby, I might get BFing finally right...then wanted to smack myself for wanting to have another baby as a guinea pig to correct my perceived wrong doings. 

    (((Hugs))) I think you are making the right choice for your family!

    This reminds me of TTCAL and PgAL's "10 Things Thursday". Maybe we need to introduce that here? :)  I think it originally started as "10 Things Tuesday" 

    1. We finally decided on a daycare provider. I contacted her last night. I'm still feeling weird about leaving A with a "stranger" in 6 weeks, but I think that's normal.  Right?

    2. I am grateful that he'll have been with us for 17 weeks before he starts DC, due to work giving me an extra week (13 total) and Dh, MIL and my sister covering teh other four weeks.

    3. MIL is coming over today so that I can get out of the house and try to do some clothes shopping.  It'll be kind of weird. I haven't been away from A for more than an hour tops since we have been home from the hospital.

    4. Can't wait for the warm weather that is expected to arrive here on Thursday! 

    5. DS is cranky but has a full belly and an empty diaper.  He's fighting sleep and I just want him to give in- even for 30 minutes in teh swing.

    6. The baby book I read said I shouldn't ley him fall asleep in anything but the crib after two months. I am choosing to ignore this today...and yesterday...

    7.  I miss cooking.

    8. I am sooooo looking forward to getting my hair cut on Saturday.

    9. The Rock-a-Bye baby station on Pandora is great.  So is their version of "Free Fallin'".

    10. Our hand-me-down swing is totally dying.

    OH yea! Forgot about that...maybe we should bring that over here!

    Regarding your #9- I totally agree! I love that Pandora station. And hugs to 1-3!

  • DH doesn't think its necessary to find a babysitter. He said we can bring LO with us or one of us can stay home while the other does whatever. WTF DH.

    I expected more out of Mother's Day. I am slightly disappointed.

    DH wants me to update his resume. Since he doesn't have any idea where his old one is...that means I have to start from scratch. Yuck.

    Walgreens has a loyalty program that you can earn points by walking or running. Its called Steps and I think it might make me get off my a$$.

    My Depo shot stopped my period for 3 months but then I spotted for 2 weeks. I'll take it.

    Yea, the babysitter thing sucks. I think if you don't live near family you need one for the sake of your marriage!

    I kinda feel the same way about Mother's Day. Half of the day I felt so blessed and happy then the other half I was like WTF DH...it's my day LOL!

  • 1: My DS and DD1 are fighting like cats and dogs lately. This morning they were fighting about who's turn it was to use the green cereal bowl. All of my cereal bowls are green.

    2: I lied to DH last night and told him I had a terrible headache. He sent me to bed early to rest, while he did homework, dinner, and baths with all 4 kids. I read my kindle under the covers. My house looked like a war zone this morning, but my night off was glorious.

    3: Being a WAHM is much harder than I expected.

    1. Then I think you should nominate DH to stay home each time until he gets with the babysitter idea :) 

    2. ((Hugs)).  It's a day that has so many emotions wrapped up in it- especially for loss mamas. 

    3. Ugh.  I have not had to start a resume from scratch since college.  My design major friend did the layout and I have just been updating it since.

  • We're deep into the 4-month-wakeful phase. My perfect, easy to fall asleep and stay asleep little DD has turned into a fall asleep but fake us out every.single.time. we put her down GINGERLY into her crib - ping! She's up and yelling. I have slept in the last two days and arrived to work late.

    I am super grateful I accrued a lot of comp time working on my reports during my maternity leave so that I can use some of it to sleep in yesterday and this morning.

    I am super angry at DH - he dropped out during his first semester of graduate school back in 2011, decided to purchase an online program in financial planning where he needs to take seven courses in a 21 or 22 month period...he has less than a year left to finish all the courses and yet he is STILL ON THE SECOND CLASS.  I have no words. He's wasted enough of my money already...money we could have used to remodel the kitchen and bathroom. I am sooo ready for him to find a job like last year!

    It's a don't f--k with me kind of day....but I love you guys!

    We don't have any family close by. I'm not sure what his hang up is about a babysitter. There is a nice girl/family down the street that I have been chatting with for 3 years. I asked if she babysits and her mom said she just got CPR certified but hasn't started yet (she's 14). Her mom said she would come with her the first few times. Sounds good to me!

    DH doesn't really have any problems staying home with DS. The last time we went out just the two of us was when my sisters came to meet Jacob...in December. Ugh.

    DH failed at Mother's Day. I didn't tell him what I expected so it is partially my fault. He just isn't even remotely sentimental.

  • 1. DD has now STTN three times. The longest was on Saturday night from 9-6. Sadly I was awake for 2 hours in the middle of that because she faked me out. She started to fuss and suck at her hands so I got up, warmed a bottle and when I came back she was sound asleep. I then could not go back to sleep. She did that to me again last night, but I was able to go back to sleep after about 30 minutes.

    2. I am going through my closet and finally getting rid of a ton of clothes that I have not worn in a couple of years, no longer fit or I just don't like anymore. I am already up to 5 bags for Goodwill with more to come.

    3. The sleep sheep is one of my favorite gifts! I love the ocean waves sound and it even helps me fall asleep.

    4. My MIL is in town all week and she is an early riser so I have been able to get some extra sleep as she watches DD from about 6-9 AM.

  • *new to the board*

    1.) I was -stupdily- kind of hoping that it would be a while before I got my period again...Just my luck, I started at exactly 5 weeks PP. *sigh* Cramps, I did not miss you.

    2.) While I was pregnant I got rid of all the clothes in my closet that didn't fit at the time to make room for baby clothes and gear and now I miss all my clothes.

    Fun!

    I dislike dancing shows, but like singing shows. (The voice, American idol, etc)

    I had to tell my coworkers I was pregnant today because I look 6 months pregnant and I am only three. My baggy clothes were sloppy and I wanted to look more professional. 

    I am exhausted.
