I went out last night with my 2 SILs! We all have kids, but mine is the youngest and it was my first time out alone since the birth! It was so much fun to be out talking and laughing and my LO slept the whole time I was gone!

Made possible because I'm visiting my mom this week. (5 hrs away). Wish I lived closer to my mom! She's so good with babies!

Agreed with PP. I went out with some girlfriends this week and left DS home with DH. He slept the whole time I was gone. It was so nice to get out with the girls and have some laughs and good conversation and feel like a girl instead of just a mom

I didn't give up on breastfeeding- though it's been a total bitch for me and LO since she had a gnarly tongue tie that went unnoticed and wasn't clipped until she hit 2 months. After almost exclusively pumping for 3 months (every 3 hours, every single darn day and night, so that my supply wouldn't drop and she'd have enough milk to bottle feed) she finally started latching and feeding well the last couple of weeks. We are almost completely off the bottle now (she only has it when I'm away and at night). I'm so proud of LO and myself for hanging in there- it was a lot of tears and hard work but we made it happen and I'm really enjoying my time breastfeeding her now. I went and bought myself a Tula that I've been wanting as a gift for myself for hanging in there
