waving hi like a crazy lady!

happy news - my work computer has a virus and IT thinks it's going to be a while - so here I am!

I drove both ways this weekend, so no bumping happened, but I was much more comfortable in the drivers seat so that's how I got that job. We won't get our pictures back for a week but what I saw on the camera screen looked great!

Hayley started sleeping through the night about 3 weeks ago, and stopped nursing altogether a month ago. So I get sleep these days.

But daycare and grandma are making me pull out my hair. I had daycare call me in for a meeting where they effectively accused me of not feeding Hayley enough (which I calmly explained we had gone ounce by ounce with the pediatrian and she disagrees with their "professional daycare" opinions) and then the teacher formula shamed me. I had compassion before ladies, but after experiencing it first hand I have so much more- people really suck! Grandma is feeding cookies and extras these days and won't listen to anyone when we tell her to stop. Just cutting her out is not an option, I shopped around and encountered long wait lists for daycare alternates so we are a bit stuck at the moment. But it's ok, Hayley is happy and healthy and a few cookies might balance out daycare, right?


I know I've missed so much! But I have no clue what- so please fill me in on anything important I need to know! I want to write happy birthday to each and every baby that has already celebrated this month but I am not that good on mobile, so please accept my heartfelt happy birthday and congratulations to each and every momma and baby here- it has been a difficult year, but we made it and I can't imagine doing this without you ladies- can we for real organize a national get together? Because what we have here is special- I don't know anyone else that has this!

I know this is far gone into dear diary territory but I am excited to be here and I'm going to try and come back to play more often but work is actually making me work! Rude I know!

I hope everyone on N13 is happy and healthy and enjoying the babies turning into toddlers!!!! I missed you crazy ladies!!!!!!

I'm game for a national N13 convention. WTH with this daycare? Why do they think there's a feeding problem? Glad you're here checking in and hope you find time to keep coming around!

Thanks @cagoldi‌ ! I hope to be here more too!!! They determined she is underfed because Hayley cries when other children eat. News flash- she cries whenever someone else has something she wants that she can't have. I have little patience for them. I suspect the teacher is getting back at me for reporting them for giving the babies food not sent from home a month or two back.

@kellykinns yes- I sat there thinking if they knew what N13 would do to them if they could hear this!!!

Basically, @mrscatfarmer13‌ a recap- the daycare teacher, let's call her "M", found out Hayley was drinking formula and all of a sudden bottles were difficult. She had been on formula for a month but I hadn't had a reason to mention it to M because all bottles are brought pre-filled to daycare. Then food was a problem. So the meeting happened so the director could hear my side and M at the same time. In the meeting the daycare teacher suggested we switch to milk because " I breastfed my babies for 16 months each and they went straight to milk, they never needed formula". As I stopped my head from exploding I gathered my cool and explained that she had been on formula exclusively for close to a month with no issues I would not be discussing it further, end of story. We then proceeded to argue and debate solids, they prefer jars over pouches. My lord. This woman is impossible- I miss the baby room!

Oh and ps. We have started to add milk too, no problems at all. But we will be finishing those formula containers filled with gold powder before we switch full time- but after all her fuss I was not about to tell M that.

WTF is the difference with the jars and pouches? My God, that woman is an idiot. Yeah, your kids were 16 months when they went to WCM, not 10 months like H. Moron. This works my nerves like nothing else. Your experience with your kid is not what you should expect for every other kid ever dammit!

mamasoup030

I wasn't clear what the objection to the pouches were myself- and honestly I don't even send them often- usual she has whatever we ate last night for lunch. I ignored those objections. I promise I did this more politely than I can muster when describing it here.
