I'm considering purchasing a maternity bathing suit this morning.
DH really wants to put a deposit down on the nursery furniture today and I'm still freaking out that it's too soon. We were advised 10-12 week lead time and that the factory closes for the month of July, so technically we should act now, but I'm still paranoid.
5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional. 5 BFPs. My rainbow arrived 10/15/14. TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.
Last night was rough! DS had night terrors as soon as I shut off my light to go to bed, and then DD has been up with teething and allergies... Looking forward to nap time this afternoon.
On a sunny note, we live in CA and it is gorgeous out today - windows open, slight breeze. These days are what make me thankful we live here!
My supply has tanked even more than before. I'm now at the point where I have to give DD 1 - 2 bottles of formula a day and absolutely nothing comes out if I try to pump. I feel like such a failure! I didn't have any of these issues with DS and I bf him for a year.

You're not a failure! You made it this far I think it's pretty awesome. I worry that this will happen to me too, so I understand.

Thanks I just think I was caught off guard because the possibility never crossed my mind since I had no issues last time. And I know there is absolutely nothing wrong with giving formula or not bf'ing but I just wish if it would have been my choice not because I was forced to.

My mom just made cream of wheat for DD and she loved it! We couldn't shovel it in her mouth fast enough without her yelling at us. The box says 6 months and older.

DH had pool training for the fire dept today. He was "playing" victim and became an actual victim and dislocated a bone in his foot. Thankfully it was just that and not something more serious. He's gonna be down for about 6 weeks and will have surgery next week.
This is the first time my house has been empty and I've been all by myself without 2 kids since LO was born. It's quiet and weird and kinda boring. Counting down till DH gets out of work, but I can NOT wait to get a restful nights sleep tonight. I'm sure I will slip into a drunk coma after we get home and it will be fantastic!
It's twenty minutes till the photographer and 1.5 hrs till my stepsister's wedding. Just put Arlo in his formal gear. He hasn't pooped since Thursday morning. No way this is gonna end well. Blarg!!!
So tonight is going to be DD's first night in her crib (don't judge me lol). I would have moved her about a month ago but the nursery is currently stuffed with kitchen and dining room stuff from the renovation. She will only sleep in my bed but does not necessarily need to be touching me so I'm hoping she will sleep better in her crib. I cleared a path in the nursery but it makes me sad that it's a mess in there.

@ballerina10 DS often lays his head down between his legs and goes to sleep. It's the most adorable/pitiful thing. He sits up or stands immediately upon waking, so I hear you. It's also his MO when he's super pissed about having to go to bed.
I am doing a happy dance! We had a minor success with solids, she ate the most she has ever eaten. How much you ask? Nearly a full tbsp. Yep that's right.
@ballerina10 I've always been told/used hot showers to take the sting out then lathered aloe afterwards. We always put the aloe in the fridge during summer.

Have your found a cute maternity baiting suit? My sister looked and everything was so.... Old lady looking!
I ended up buying a tankini top at Target and I think it's rather cute - plain black with white dots. Feels kind of retro with the ruching or whatnot. I paired it with a black lululemon running skirt and felt quite comfortable laying out!

@mcncheese if you still have sun burn issues try Earl Grey tea.
Drinking it or putting it on the burn?! I've never heard of this one before!!
Putting it on the burn (lukewarm) or dabbing the burn with the tea bags. I got a burn last weekend and it really helped. Just don't wipe it off let it sit on for a while and dry. I did mine right before bed and showered in the morning and the burn was 100x better

Nice! We are slowly getting there, too. I think we are on night 4 of drowsy but awake, in bed around 8:45, and her falling asleep herself.
Don't hate on my bathing suit!!! The skirt helps hide my thighs!
