@vinny424 that is so awesome! I was salary and am going back parttime so will be hourly....I am "up" for a renegotiation of wages and am kinda nervous! That will probably happen in August.
But on that note, we interviewed nanny's and found the perfect one. Then I got super jealous that she will be with my LO and I wont (even just part time). It hasn't really hit me that I will be going back. Its still a month away and I am not sure if it is the right decision. Some days I am like, "I need to go back" and others I am like, "this is where I need to be."

I feeling really sad tonight. DH is being a big jerk, he came home from work in a bad mood and was taking it out on me. I miss my family and wish they lived close and I had their support. The internet isn't working (except on my cellphone) and I just want to zone out and watch Orange is the New Black and eat popsicles. I love LO but being a SAHM is hard. I'm sure that working is hard(er) and many moms wish they could SAH, but I live in the boonies and I'm just fucking lonely and sad and don't have working out as an emotional outlet anymore.
Aw myself for a moment: went saw my boss today (dun dun dun) and she asked if I would take on a little more work (I barely work now and get way overpaid in my eyes) and said yes and she doubled my pay!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I work at home with no schedule!!!!!! F yea!
Are you guys hiring?
I actually had a job interview for three hours on Thu. I have been wringing my hands over it because I want this job so badly. It is clost to DHs work and daycare, more pay, and a much better commute. It was a second interview so I am cautiously hopeful...

@aronie82 maybe he's in a growth spurt? 2 weeks ago DD was eating more than I was pumping and I kept pulling from my freezer stash. I panicked thinking my supply had dropped but since then she's eating exactly what I've been pumping. Some days she might take an ounce or ounce and a half more. I added in a pump on Saturday mornings so it's my rollover for the following week.
From what I've read breast milk changes composition over time to meet your LO's needs so you usually don't need to increase ounces. I think a lot of BF babies top out at 4 or 5oz per bottle.

Truly random: @swerbtastic3351 you came up on my "people you may know" on fb today.
That's super random because I have my shit locked down. I'll have to go check my settings tonight. No offense of course, I'm just wary after the nonsense on here.
That's it - I love cute baby photos and I need to get DD photos out to more relatives & friends. I think I'm going to IG!
Also - re changing feeding needs...at 1 mo DD drank 7 oz at her 1st bottle attempt. She is now down to 4-5 oz at a feeding at 3 mo. For awhile she was drinking more then I could pump in the same period of time. It wasn't a big deal though since the bottle has been infrequent and I'm pumping regularly. It has been surprising to me she is now taking in less per bottle feeding.
And it makes a lot, so I freeze the dough balls on a cookie sheet and then bag them in dozens so I can pull them out and make fresh ones wheneva I want!

This week is going to be rough. I'm so stressed out and when I'm stressed, my EDS flares up. DH should be finding out this week where we are moving to in Sept. He should also find out this week if he's getting promoted this month. DS1 has to see a neurologist and get an EEG done on Thursday and I'm worried about my little man.

Can you sew and embroider!?! I know she isn't now but soon?
I Cosplay vin, of course I know how! I'm not sure that is what I'm looking for though, I'm trying to get into the tech industry.

@Tferr02 I'm sorry it's going to be such a stressful week. My sister just found out last week that she and her husband need to move to PA in two weeks so I have an idea of how crazy that all can be. T&Ps for your little man as well!

Those who bought Alva diapers--how are you liking them? Are they snaps or aplix? I have 90% BG 4.0 snaps and they have been surprisingly hard for sitters to fasten (I'm not sure why but even DH struggles with the snaps lately and he changes plenty of diapers). I'm looking for some inexpensive aplix diapers that work well and that are daycare friendly since snaps are worrying me and DS starts daycare in 2 weeks.

A14 Siggy Challenge (November): Favorite Fall Smell
DD and I went shopping after her therapy and it was a BIG success!! I got three work pants (in a size I can't believe I wear, but don't even care cause they fit!) and five tops that will be easy to nurse in and are still cute. All on sale AND LO fell asleep in the first store and slept until we got home!
One of the first days in a while that I felt like my old self again. So happy
I need some idea for wedding gifts. DH is the best man and it's for his cousins wedding so he wants a blow your socks off type gift? Anyone have any awesome ideas? I am totally clueless as I am not a great gift giver.
All of you who want rain, help yourself to some of ours. I just drove home through 2 hours of almost constant thunderstorms to find that our power got knocked out. So, the garage door wouldn't open and I had to carry A and all our crap through the pouring rain to the front door. FWPs.
At least I still have cell phone tubes so I can bump.
Funny you should say that. I'm off Quintette and all we've had is thunder but no rain. FL is weird.

What is he into? We did customized Louisville Slugger bats for our groomsmen and they were a hit. DH has gotten a flask, a wallet, a nice bottle of bourbon. and probably more I can't remember as a groomsmen. Give me more details and I'll try and find something... Work is super boring today and I love gift giving.

The rain is all over I-10. I was coming home from the beach out near Destin.
It could be storming in pensacola and pace/milton but for some reason quintette never gets rain. If we do, it's long enough for it to pass but that's it. It always throws me off because I'll be driving then all of a sudden I get to 5 points and the sky falls out.
@poru I'll be up tonight with you. G has only eaten at 6:30am and 11am, the rest of the day he has been sleeping. It's now 5:10pm and he just woke up. I'm terrified about tonight

He's big into sports. Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies. I was thinking we could pay his portion of season tickets but it's too late. DH thought we should get them to throw the first pitch but that seems difficult. So... Idk. We want it to be family oriented and something for him and his wife to cherish forever.
Why do the commuting God's hate me so? Yesterday the train was late so I was late and then there was an accident. Today I make the 505 train but it needs to stop to change the schedule. :!! I have a baby to feed! My boobs need it too red line!

Of course, just as I got him into a good sleep the Kirby vacuum sales people ring the doorbell and the dogs go apeshit. :-q
Things like this are precisely why I want to ask my apartment manager if he's cool with me putting up a sign saying roughly, "Knock/ring and wake my baby, I will end you!"

Does anyone let lo nap in a swing? We got a new swing and he has fallen asleep in it 3 times today for at least an hour each.
I probably shouldn't, but the only ways A-game will sleep for the last month or so are on DH or I, or in her swing. If I can get her in there without her waking up, I let her sleep in there. We all need our rest, and as long as she doesn't wind up chin-to-chest (I've had to slide her back up a few times), she's cool.
