LO just pulled the diaper bag I front of the lay-z-boy (by playing with it, I'm sure he didn't think to move the bag. I mean he's smart but...he's no baby genius--at least not that I know of!) and then saw the opportunity to climb I top of the diaper bag and then proceeded to try and climb ontop of the lay-z-boy!!! He couldn't get his leg ontop of the seat of the lay-z-boy but he sure tried for a good two minutes! My IG friends get a pic of it. I can't believe it. This kid scares the crap out of me with everything he climbs. ...and it only gets worse!? ( 8-}

Gah. Oops. Ergo #2. I can return it less the cost of shipping, or I can try to resell it on eBay or Craigslist and recoup my loss. (My winning bid was $65, which includes shipping.) Or I can contact the seller and tell them I'll plan to return it anyway, so don't send it (but that seems like a jerk move). WWF14D?

are the two you bought the same? I just returned my regular Ergo for the performance one, and love it! There are almost no Ergos on CL here, I bet you could sell it on there easily. I would have bought it if I hadn't just got mine

Ugh, just pumped. Righty gave me an ounce less than yesterday which was an ounce less than normal. Which means righty produced two ounces less than normal. WTF is going on?!?

Dear Body,

Please, please, please get it together. Please! I don't know what I'm going to do if my supply tanks. I'm so fearful that DD will reject the special formula she'd need.

@iuwbrory Have you gotten your post partum period?? I see a significant drop in my supply when AF comes to visit.

This. My supply SUCKS right before AF comes. I have to dip into the freezer stash for a few days.

No, it's not back yet. I'd love for that to be the reason so we can start trying for Kid 3 but I think it's been dropping for about a week now. Is that normal?   I never noticed a drop when AF came around when I bf DS but this time could be different. AF did return when DS was 8 months and DD is 8 months today.

But really, I'm feeling down so I think that my supply is dropping for no reason and I won't get AF back from months. Woe is me.

@iwubrory -- Maybe you are about to start.  I really do hope that is what is causing it.  Have you tried all the go to's for supply increase?

 I also recently had a decrease in supply as well.  I am only pumping 10-11 oz a day compared to 15oz.  I hate that our bodies can make that decision for us.

Have you checked the membranes, valves and tubing on your pump?

I posted a pic of myself the day I had LO and one from today on IG and my mom said I had a chubby face (I'm assuming in the pg pic). That's not nice, right?

Not nice. Really kind of an unnecessary comment in general.

I JUST GOT A CALL BACK!

Interview on Friday! 10am!! Doing work in a women's recovery house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MissDemeanor

Packing sucks! And of course bf thinks it's more important to spend all day doing stupid projects instead of actually just putting shit in boxes

rachaelmary

Hi! :-h

Just catching up this morning! We went to an overstock sale thingy for baby things...didn't find much for me but they had ergos for 65!

My house is a mess. Lo decided to skip all her naps yesterday so I got nothing done...it's amazing how 1 hectic day can destroy the house.

rachaelmary

Oh and yay @codypup! That's awesome!!

Hugs to all the mamas dealing with sleep regression! You are all rockstars!

@elf828 I don't get why your mom would say that...I actually saw the picture and thought you looked so good pregnant! You looked like you didn't gain any weight and just had a perfect baby belly!

JackieP1023

Yay, @Codypup‌ !! Good luck!

@BlueDot818 Nope... I haven't either.

Re: my lack of supply when pumping

I don't think it's my equipment because I'm still getting my usual amount in the morning but not during my recess pump session.

shellbell3845

Yayyyyyyyy @Codypup‌!!!

@BlueDot818‌ while you (and the others) rub it in about no pp AF, I'll be at target buying more tampons.

I had a weird day. Some things happened that make me wonder if my principal is happy with my job performance or if I'm just reading too much into things. She doesn't like the program I'm doing for the Christmas concert. Ok....well, it can't be changed now, and the kids LOVE it.

Oh well. Haircuts, tacos, pumpkin carving.

shellbell3845

Hey @TyrannosaurusLex‌, I had a question about home dc. Do you get breaks? Or is it all you all day? What if you need a bathroom break? I mean, I take LO with me, but I can't imagine having a home dc's worth of kids in there! This probably sounds dumb...but I'm curious!

I'm getting my hair cut for the first time since the BFP tomorrow - I look like a yeti at the mo

THE GOOD: It's Pajama Day at school so I'm wearing the pjs I bought for my hospital stay with DD.

#comfytown

THE BAD: I have to go to Target after work in pjs. Should I go to Walmart instead?

THE UGLY: I've lost a ton of weight since I bought these so it's possible the drawstring won't be enough and I'll be mooning some kids today.

I had to go to Target in my jammies on pj day at school, too  

rachaelmary

No AF for me yet. She can stay far away!

I always thought you couldn't get your period while breastfeeding, so I'm surprised people have!

GUYS. There's snow on the forecast here on Saturday. Not any significant amount, but still. Yesyesyes!!!!!!!!

FTFY.

ramfan05

@mevaroo, it was 60 in the house when I woke up and realized the furnace wasn't working. Having it that cold with a functioning furnace is not okay!

When I got home at almost 1, it was still only 61. We had someone out, though, and luckily it was an easy fix. Probably the best case scenario, actually. I'm so glad it got fixed before it gets dark again!

Hey Dex I tried tagging you yesterday....

were you the one that had the friend with a cat in a FB Vet halloween costume contest?

Nope - not me. I know the contest you mean, but can.'to remember who that was now

You may have one from me Tlex but definitely not 27.

You guise!!!!!!!!! ( @codypup ) It worked! DH got the job and he starts not next week, but the week after! Wooooooooooooooooohooooooooooo!!!! Seriously this is the biggest blessing. It's not as soon as we thought it would be, but it's happening and I am so thrilled!

Thanks for all the FXing and leaf raking. :x

Codypup

Congrats @breadpudding‌ !!!! I am so happy for you guys!!!

Our oven works, finally! Man, a week with only using the stove top, or grill is tough!

This doesn't compute for me. We've probably used our oven less than ten times in the three months we've lived in this house.

#nexttopchef

@breadpudding‌ Congrats to your DH! That's fantastic news!

Good luck Friday @Codypup‌

@mevaroo You just made me extra excited for DD to crawl. DS will be so pumped for her.

Codypup

Holy fucking teething, batman.

That was a hellacious two hours. At one point W bit onto the sleeve of her onsie and ripped it with her little teeth like a crazy tiny werewolf.

But INTERVIEW!!!!!!!!!!! <---happy thoughts to help me forget the disaster that was this evening

Noethola

Hooray for great news @codypup and @breadpudding!

In other news, I am about to make a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Yum!!!

@njb750 FX the Motrin works. That stuff knocks LO out and helps him get really good sleep. I'm hoping the same is true for your LO!

You have my T&Ps, my friend. May the strength be with you tonight.

I had a mini freak out in Target today. Should I buy R Christmas pjs now? Which ones? What if they don't have Christmas pjs in Mexico?? What kind of mother am I to take my baby away over Christmas??? How can he have his first Christmas with no Christmas Jammie's!??

You can buy PJs now. I did. Will he need footies in Mexico? Or something lighter? Does Amazon/carters/kohls ship to Mexico? If they don't, I will. You are not going to break R's first Christmas, I promise.

I'd give my left arm to spend Christmas in Mexico. R is LUCKY.
