new to the bump

Good morning ladies, I just found this web site. not sure how I never saw it before!! I wanted to introduce myself.
My name is Amanda and my little girl Caitlynn was born in march 2014 (5 months 1 week 5 days). I am a working mom and trying to still BF partly but have had issues with EBF from day one. I have been given meds to help but they only allow me to give her 4 out of her 6 bottles a day. because of this she will be weaned from BF to formula in the next 3 weeks. She was born 3 weeks early but was 7.5 pounds and 20 inches. Currently she can roll from tummy to back easily but doesn't, we are working on back to tummy which she has no interest in and she is a mostly sitter with very minimal support. She eats cereal 3X a day and has started eating green beans and peas.
So excited to have found a group for same age children I have been relying on my SIL for info from when my niece was young (she is now 2.5).

My kid had his shots. (Yes, we vaccinate)
Use disposeables.
I definitely enjoy BBT.
I'll drink either, but prefer wine.
Marble - cheddar.
Christmas or Thanksgiving?...neither, but I guess I'd prefer Thanksgiving because there's no gifts.
I'm not that into comics...I like Spider-Man, Batman, Wolverine...I don't think I could pick a side.
Here it goes:
I am well vaccinate (military brat and work at a hospital)
My child has had all her shots so far
Disposable (cloth kind of grosses me out)
Love, love, love the big bang theory
Wine for sure
Cheddar if I had to pick, but favorite is muenster
Christmas
not much of a comic fan, but I do watch the movies!!
