P was trying to gag/spit out some food and she ended up puking on me and herself while I was holding her. I changed her and my tank top and went about my evening. When I pulled down my nursing bra to pump at work the next day I found dried vomit on my bra and boob. I hadn't showered or change my nursing bra since the pukey incident. Nice.
I'm about to drive 40 minutes to a specific target to get a bag I want. There's about 10 other targets closer to me. But this one "may" have the bag in stock and its not available online. I feel silly doing this, but oh well. Here's hoping its still in stock!
I love my new baby but I am really doubting my ability to manage everything I do with two kids. Which means I will have to sacrifice something. And I don't want to. And I don't feel selfish for feeling that way.
Also, I am contemplating getting on bc without telling DH b/c he is now alluding to the fact that he may want another baby. We agreed on one. The plan was to just track my cycles. But now he is scaring me. However, I think he would be really pissed if he found out. Maybe I'll just tell him.

Um, please don't do this.
I think if I found out D was secretly preventing pregnancy he would be permanently moved to the spare bedroom.
Yeah, just be honest with him. Umm, my body just went through some crazy shit, and I need some time to recover and prepare for another, physically and mentally.
Also, my goal was to make it to Labor Day with pumping, P's original due date. But my supply has dwindled to shit, and I'm getting almost nothing now. She's eating solids so well, and drinking alternamilks with meals, since she's allergic to cow's milk. I decided to quit pumping last night, and I'm just done. I'm considering this a birthday present to myself. Only one month short of my goal, and P is 13 mo old today. My confession is I'm so freaking happy to be done pumping, as selfish as that seems!

Call them?
Yeah... That would've been the thing to do. My search failed. Ugh.
I am bumping when I should be packing to go out of town. When DH gets home from work early I will not be ready to go. I will probably blame it on the girls. Luckily he won't care and just help me finish packing. Can you tell we have done this before!?
I went to the cd store this morning! And I knew more than the girl who owns the store and definitely butted in and answered a woman's questions before the store owner could. the store owner was trying to sell more than the lady really needed (I know, but them ALL. But this was an expectant mom who was just getting her foot in the door to the cd world)
I regularly tell people that are watching my kids that I will be back later than I actually plan to be just so they're not expecting me, and I can get a better idea of what's really going on when I'm not there.
That's a really good idea. M is bound to have a babysitter someday, right?
I think it's a bad idea to buy a bunch of China cheapies or a super cheap lot, that is probably worn out, or a friend that's just starting out, so you can convince them to CD.
I understand that some people love their cheaper diapers, but I feel like buying as cheap of diapers as possible for this person is setting them (and cloth diapering)up for failure. Why not lend them a few diapers, a variety, and see if they like them?
ETA maybe this is a UO? Oh well, I'm too lazy to move it.
I'm totally sick of my neighbor, I really want to screams at them. They are always smoking during the night until 4 am, and all the smoke get in to my window. But the works part, my stupid land lord cannot do a anything about it. Hahaha, by the way I I think this is an UO.

I doubt I would ever keep that from him, I'm a really honest person. I think the idea just crept into my head b/c he's been a douche the last 2 days and I'm pissed about it.

MK, I have days like yours on a regular basis and I only have one child. Which makes me feel like if you have more than one, you're just basically Wonder Woman as long as your children are safe and fed at the end of the day.
I have a funny one. I really do not do well with sleep deprivation. I've never been a great sleeper but as long as I get a few solid hours I will be okay.
DD was having a bunch of rough nights (wake ups like every hour) after STTN for months. So the one night I woke up (sort of) to her crying on the monitor. I rolled over and popped out my boob. It took me a minute to realize why she wasn't sucking on it... It was the dog laying beside me and DD was in her crib in her own room crying haha I don't know why I did this because we have never bed shared. We co slept with her in the bassinet for the first few months but that ended a while ago. I had a good laugh at myself about that one later. And it's a good thing the dog doesn't like to suck or bite on things put near her face!

B
OMG, did you just call me a bitch after I called you Wonder Woman? Well, I never!
It's my favorite thing ever when my kid skips a nap for the day. She's so awesome, pleasant, and helpful afterwards that I wish there was just some way I could keep her awake forever. Maybe I should reward her for skipping her nap with lots of sugar, although then I'm nervous she'd be almost catatonic.
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste,
It all revolves around you.
As thrilled as I am that DS2 is nursing and that I have a good supply, it is so NOT the bonding experience that I'd heard it would be. We have to use a shield for now, and he constantly pulls it off. He refuses still to nurse without it, though. We'll soldier on, but I hope it gets easier soon.

We had to use a shield for the first eight weeks. I hated it. It gets sooooo much better once you can stop using it. Keep on keeping on!

i suppose this is totally confessional, but i do not like breastfeeding. i do it because it's healthy for everyone involved and it's cheap. i do not feel more bonded to my kid because of it.
Yeah. I was just going to add that even though it got better after we weaned off the shield, it was never the bonding experience that I imagined.
We used a shield for the first 8 weeks also. I didn't hate BFing until I got pregnant again, but it certainly wasn't some magical empowering experience. Mostly just sweaty.

Still got a cute bag, but not The Bag.
I don't get it. I understand all of your words but your context and sentence structure just makes no sense.
Too many diapers? Too much fabric?
