My favorite post....Let's here em!

1. The weather forecast calls for mid 50's and sunny and I could not be happier after the last week we've had! It is amazing what some sunshine can do for your mood..

2. I told my Step Sister that I couldn't be in her wedding (we will still be attending) and she took it very well, almost too well. I'm secretly wondering if she just felt like she had to ask me to be in it because we're family.

3. One of my FB friends posted a picture of her 4 month old dressed up for Cinco de Mayo, sitting in his bumbo seat with an opened corona and lime next to him. This just doesn't look right to me.

4. I finally bought a sports bra that will fit and secure these bad boys.

5. DH, LO, and I went for a 2.5 mile hike yesterday. When we were there I saw so many runners and it just got me in the mood. As soon as we got home I laced up and went out for my first PP run, it felt sooo good! I ran 1.5 miles and I surprised myself that I could do it, considering how out of shape I am. I really need to start doing this regularly, not only is it great exercise but I need to do it for stress relief and to regain my self confidence.

6. I love when we are out with LO and other people make coments about how beautiful LO is and how pretty her eyes are. I mean, of course I think she is, but to hear it from others just makes me smile. DH asked me how we made such a cute baby and I told him because I'm just so darn cute

;;)

7. DH and I went to the movies for the first time since LO was born and it was so nice. My mom sent me a text during the movie and when I felt it vibrate I felt my heart start beating super fast. When I looked at the message it was just a cute picture of LO playing with a frog hat on..ahhh such relief! I don't know why but I still get worried sick when I'm away from LO that she's going to be crying hysterically or that something will happen.

8. LO is still sleeping this morning and it's almost 8am, that's a nice change from yesterday's 6:40am wakeup! Currently I'm enjoying my second cup of HOT coffee.

9. I'm really saddened to hear about the news of Jenna Hinman passing away yesterday. I just can't imagine what they are going through and feel so much for them. I don't know them personally but I've been following the story all along. I'm so glad to hear the twins are doing wonderful though. (I hope this is a clicky...) https://auburnpub.com/news/local/port-byron-native-jenna-hinman-dies-after-battling-rare-cancer/article_edb4fd43-d15c-5514-ab64-44b89fd75b7f.html

10. I am making the butterfly footprints from LO's feet on flower pots for mother's day this week and hope they turn out nice! DH is also making one for me!

1. I have to go to the car shop today for a tire rotation and oil change. Not looking forward to it.

2. Considering working 2 days a week next school year. This is a hard and huge decision but I think it'll be good for my baby and I. Staying involved in the school district will help when I want to get a job teaching full time and the extra income is never a bad thing. Also it will help DD with social skills.

3. DD loves when my dog licks her. I on the other hand cringe and hate it.

4. My marriage is starting to improve so things are looking up.

5. I want to go a full month without having a fight and than I'll get off BC.

6. DH is incredibly upset I am on BC. How does he not see we are in no state to bring another sweet baby into this mess? Although things are better it needs to be a permanent change.

7. I'm attempting to do Weight Watchers better and start doing Jullian Michaels workout DVD everyday until our river trip at the end of the month.

8. I will be the only girl whose had a baby at this river trip. Luckily there will be lots of wine and floating going on so maybe no one will notice the 10 extra lbs.

9. I have so many little things I want to do around my house but here I am bumping.

10. Nipples are tender like they were when I started nursing. I don't know if her suck got stronger or what but dang Gina it's not fun.

1. My mom keeps leaving her dogs diapar off when she leaves for the morning. She thinks she's stopped bleeding. Accept there's blood all over the floor that I get to clean the minute I wake up. Duhhhhh.

2. I can NOT wait for our move. We were planning on going the 24th. Accept we are having financial issues that we weren't planning on and if it doesn't get worked out in a few weeks, I do not know what we will do.

3. Considering the above, I'm not too stressed about it.

4. My little sister needed taco meat made for a school project this morning. I totally forgot about it last night and I feel like a major dickface. I called the school as I was goin to drop make it and drop it off before her class. Accept her class was the first one and only runs until 830.

5. Who the hell is going to eat tacos at 830am?

6. I let DD sleep with us most of the night because I was falling asleep sitting up nursing her.

7. So much for sleep training. Oops.

8. DD is finally taking a bottle but because she's not nursing to sleep, I'd like to just continue breastfeeding.

9. We stocked up on formula with coupons so I have a dozen cans of Enfamil Gentlease that are no use to me.

10. I know I should just donate them but that's a lot of money for us to just give away at the moment given our previously stated financial issues

LelaDenney · May 2014

@PumpkinMommaaa‌ does your community have a FB page that sells items? Mine does and mommas are constantly selling unused cans of formula for $20-$25. Just a thought

PumpkinMommaaa · May 2014

@LelaDenney‌ yeah I've tried but around here most people here have wic and don't pay for them anyway

Meganbryn · May 2014

1. We bought a brand new car this weekend, I love it but it makes me sick thinking about how much money it was and how many years we will be paying for it.
2. Hubby quit smoking yesterday, I'm glad he has decided to and I'll put up with his shitty moods for the next few days.
3. LO is crawling and standing up on everything she is down to only two naps a day that usually aren't very long, my days feel much longer with her now:p
4. LO bonked her head on the crib the other morning, she has a nice big bruise as a result, poor thing.
5. I'm secretly hoping DH has something nice planned for me for Mother's Day.
6. LO is taking a nap on me after refusing to go for a nap in her crib twice this morning, she hasn't slept on me in probably a month and a half so I am enjoying the cuddles

7. Why must there always be laundry to do, I'm so sick of doing laundry!
8. LO has been crankier and crying a lot the past few days, hopefully she is getting some top teeth in.
9. I'm loving the sunshine and hot weather we have been getting but I'm not loving all the bugs that come with it.
10. I want some chocolate right now.

1. I too feel so sad about Jenna Hinman. I have been following her story for a couple of months and it's made me really sad and angry how such a terrible thing could happens and those little girls will never know their mother.

2. With this nice weather now in NY I'm trying to take the baby and the dog out every day. Hopefully I will meet some neighbors, we have lived in our house 8 months and haven't met anyone except the older man next door.

3. I'm intrigued by the moms groups on meet up but I feel a little uncomfortable meeting people with my baby that way. Almost like a safety thing. Did anyone else feel like this? I'm sure I'm paranoid.

4. I had friends over on Saturday and cooked for my biggest dinner party yet. Made a yummy pre cinco de mayo feast.

5. Entertaining is hard work. Especially with a baby.

6. I go back and forth whether I want another baby soon. I love LO more than anything but the thought of 2 under 2 makes me nervous.

7. I finally discovered Hanna Andersson pjs this weekend. So adorable tho time will tell if the price is justified.

8. I am so happy 24 is back.

9. We have my SIL bridal shower this weekend and I'm trying to figure out if I should bring him. Are babies assumed to be invited??

10. My nails are so desperate for a mani. Anyone ever try CND vinylux? It's a gel polish without the UV light so you can do it yourself. I'm debating whether it's worth trying!

PumpkinMommaaa · May 2014

@jnetx‌ I think you should totes go on that trip! I know that if I went away with DD, even with LO, it would feel awesome.

Just saying. Lol.

Edit for spelling

atcwag · May 2014

1. I am desperate to be a SAHM. I know it's not for everyone, but I really think it's what I want to do and what's best for DS and myself. Unfortunately, I make quite a bit more $ than DH and we can't afford it. It makes me sad every day. 2. My Grandmother recently passed away and her house is in "limbo". She didn't will it to anyone, so we're all trying to figure out what to do with it. It's no secret that I've wanted to live there my whole life and it's the perfect place to raise a family, but it needs more work than I'm comfortable with and i'm not sure we can afford it. 3. I'm proud of myself for EBF thus far, but DS hates my left nipple and it is still sore and bleeds sometimes. I wish it was easier. 4. DS STTN from 1 month-5 months, then sleep went to crap. I'm super exhausted and my work is suffering because of it. 5. I wish that it was 3 years from now when our cars and a few loans will be paid off. We'll be in a much better place financially. 6. I'm thankful for nice weather today. I'm seriously getting sick of cold and dreary weather, especially because I spend part of my job working outside. 7. I'm really hoping we can budget for a trip to Disney/Universal every 3 years or so. 8. I'm having a minor mental breakdown about trying to figure out childcare for DS. The hours of DH and I's jobs are ever-changing so it makes it extremely difficult. 9. I'm still down about 15-20 lbs. from pp weight, but I'm slowly starting to gain. I'm having a hard time committing to eating better/less. I'm beyond addicted to rice crispy treat Oreos. 10. Other than DS, the highlights of my week are my weekly mail-order healthy snack box from Graze and our weekly CSA box.

@MeganBryn what kind of car did you get?

I got a dodge dart rallye

Meganbryn · May 2014

@BlondAmbition1230
Was 24 good!? I recorded it but I haven't watched it yet, I use to love it years ago but I didn't watch the last season or two.

blond1230 · May 2014

@AbbyMMM‌ see thing is it's my husband's sister and they know we bring the baby everywhere because I'm nursing. So I totally agree on the grey area but since it's them I am pretty certain they'd expect me to bring him. I'm gonna make my husband call and find out

@Meganbryn‌ 24 was soooo good! Jack is back!! I didn't think I would get back into it so quickly but there's great new characters as well as some of the old favorites. You gotta watch!

Salemkitty13 · May 2014

1. DH is out of town. First time since DS was born. I hope I can sleep tonight.

2. I hate conflict. I worry someone's feelings might get hurt.

3. But I love reading the drama llama posts. Where did our llama hunters go?

4. My sis, BIL and nephew visited this past weekend.

5. We went to the GA aquarium. It was nice. DS loved it. Especially the dolphin show. I was amazed at how well he paid attention.

6. I need new clothes. My tops are too small and my bottoms are too big.

7. I don't have time to go shopping. (Didn't I complain about this last week?)

8. DH bought me new underwear. Apparently saggy panties are sad.

9. I got on the scale today. I had lost a few pounds. Hello, college weight! 5 more to high school weight.

10. I'm thankful for my S13 friends. Hugs ladies! :x

Af1004 · May 2014

1) I did the butterfly pots too. Thanks to whoever on here suggested that originally!

2) I had a little fight with my mom today. We never fight so when I fussed at her a little bit this morning, she took it to hard and got upset. I didn't mean to upset her.

3)I ate way to much junk today.

4) I still have to get my mother and MIL mother's day presents.

5) I'm watching NCIS right now.

6) I've been watching the Love Comes Softly movie series from the Hallmark channel (I own all them) but the books are way better.i wish I had the books too.

7) I've been nursing DD to sleep again. I probably shouldn't have started again but she was waking an hour if so after I put her down.

8) DD have up the pacifier last week... We've actually been doing ok without it, even though I was totally lost for a couple of days.

9) I wish I could afford to have Lasik, I hate my contacts.

10) DD's 20# + is getting pretty heavy!

jlp0528 · May 2014

Yay! Better late than never!

1. I love Tuesday tv! The Goldbergs, the Mindy project and the new girl make me happy! I love Beverly Goldberg.

2. I'm sad next week is the end of season 1 of the Blacklist.

3. DD's personality is so hilarious. She growls and laughs and plays so cutely these days. I love seeing the little person she's becoming.

4. We are in our new house and it love it, but the first sucky thing has come up. Apparently the carpet in our addition has carpet beetles. The warmer weather has brought them out and we are going to have to replace it. But gag eww vomit I hate bugs even though they're little bugs. Baaaaarf.

5. I am so happy I was able to introduce dairy back into my diet and LO has been fine. I MISSED IT! The blue cheese in my salad tonight was so phenomenal.

6. I want dark chocolate but I don't want to walk downstairs. Fwp.

7. We are going to Baltimore this weekend to visit my BFF before going to dc for the week for DH's work. I'm excited to spend the weekend with her and to get to take dd in the pool at the hotel!

8. I hate my braces. I hate that I have another year of them at least.

9. I looooooove the rice crispy Oreos. They are the most delicious ever!

10. I am Seriously debating going down to her wine and dark chocolate.

Salemkitty13 · May 2014

@jlp0528‌ I'm sooo jealous that you got to add dairy back in! How did you know it was ok? I'd slap someone for a milkshake

AlejandraN2 · May 2014

1. Cancer sucks.

2. Just found out that a former coworker of mine who's friends with a lot of people i'm still friends with, just lost her battle with cancer today. She was such a powerhouse of a woman, and i remember being intimidated by her back when i was 22 and it was my first job. She is definitely one to remember and so surreal to think that she's gone.

3. Cancer sucks.

4-10. I got nothing...

jlp0528 · May 2014

Well I was really strict and no straight dairy or hidden! Then around 6 months I would eat things that had hidden dairy. I was dying for a latte, a real one from the Italian coffee shop and I got it and she was fine so I slowly tried different dairy types and we've had no problem! @Salemkitty13‌ , I hope you and @jojo1112‌ can have it again soon!

AlejandraN2 · May 2014

Thanks ladies. Although we weren't close, she was such a sassy, amazing woman so today is just a sad day for NY.
