  That's pretty much how it went down. I told her that was a great accomplishment for her and she was very fortunate to be able to BF for so long, let alone at all. I have no issue with how people choose to feed their babies, and I get that she's probably super proud of what she did, but really?! Maybe I'm just too "live and let live" mentality.
  
  In my mind, I round house kicked her chuck Norris style right in the checkout line.

  @mamrotu73‌ my husband loves always sunny and archer, yes funny, but not my total cup of tea either. Have to be in the right mood for them. I prefer binge watching a series on Netflix most days.

  @thomas930‌ awesome! I didn't need to be converted. My husband called me a closet nerd, because I wear heels, love hair and makeup, and can shop all day.....but I would stay up til 4am playing world of warcraft :P

  I was all set to have a big bowl of cereal only to find... no milk.  So I had granola bars and dr pepper.  And a roast beef sandwich loaded with cheese and mayo.

  I've gotta get my butt into gear. DD starts kindergarten this month and we really need to get a daily routine/schedule for school work together. We start full time homeschooling at the end of the month.

  I think some of us need to go to work with our husbands and scream at them all day,"HOLD ME!!! IM HUNGRY!!! HELP ME NAP!!!" It might not help them understand but it would be funny! @AmyV416‌ I've had the same comments after I had DS! I wish I had had the balls to say something super bitchy at the time! I guess women have to tell as many people that they breastfed until they get the parade they feel they so deserve.

  I love when kids swear. Of course mine did. DD was being fussy with her brother one day (she was about three) and H said something like, "baby, just ignore him. He's just trying to get under your skin." She responds, "I'm not a fucking baby!" DS would always say things like, "Shit, it's raining!" Or "can someone tie my shoes, dammit?!" Sooooo hard not to laugh.

  So, and this for the group at large, how long did it take to say "Yay, sex!" again? Because DH and I DTD last night for the first time since baby and it sucked. A slept well the past week. Then last night DH did bedtime while I soaked in the tub. After, he brought wine for us both and sat on the tile floor while I kept soaking. Then we shared some Ben & Jerry's. I thought this was a good set up, and I'd be excited for all those things again... except the sex.

  It goes back and forth from good to bad for me. I can count on one hand the number of times we've successfully had sex in the past 4 months. Last night hurt but the time before that it was pretty good. I'm very frustrated right now....and my sex drive seems to have disappeared yet again.  

  Are we the same person? This is exactly what I was going to say...

  Oh my god I'm DYING. This girl on my Facebook "just can't win" because she ate fast food and threw up. She's "fighting a losing battle." Holy mellow dramatic! I think she's technically winning by not actually having real problems. My cousin is going in for her weekly chemo today for a cancer that took her leg and two large chunks of her right and left lung, and now growing again on the left. That's a losing battle. She would love to puke and move on with her life! This girl is so drama!

  We did this at my sister's baby shower and it was done for mine as well. If I am ever involved with planning a shower, I try to incorporate this because you're right, the cost is about the same, but the value is so much greater!

  DH prefers his salmon just grilled with a bit of salt and pepper and maybe a splash of lemon juice.  I like a good teriyaki marinade, or make salmon BLTs with pesto.  Halibut... beer batter, orange halibut (orange chicken recipe), pretty much anything since it's just a white fish!

  DH thinks it's adorable when little kids swear, so I'm not very successful at getting him to change his language. I've told him he's going to every school meeting about what the kids say on his own.

  We have a long term bet on who makes her say the first swear word. Winner (aka the person who is chaste in the mouth) gets a tattoo. I'm already at a disadvantage because I am with her most of the time.

  That situation looks beyond obnoxious.  Can you ask the woman who keeps responding for her direct phone number?
  
  
  The part I love most is that they can't find me in their system. And they dx problems with the pump by listening to it over the phone... No amount of espresso is curing this HA this morning.

  4 month shots by myself weren't as bad as I expected.
  
  But she also thinks DD's new schedule of up every three hours is a learned pattern and wants me to do a modified CIO. Basically not picking her up when she cries but still soothing her.
  
  I smell a bunch of long nights in my future....

  @purespark‌ I thought it was too early as well, but this is the second time a dr in their office suggested it. And to be honest, I'm getting to my breaking point with my mental sanity I need to find something.
  
  She suggested I get "the no cry sleep solution" book and use that method.

  Thanks @poru‌. She never gets to the purple cry at night, hardly ever actually. That's what has me so on the fence about it. I think she just needs to figure out how to soothe herself. She stays with my mom during the day so she is constantly being picked up and soothed by one of us.

  Having so much anxiety about this weekend. My IL's will be watching ds overnight for the first time, so DH and I can go out and celebrate my birthday. I'm so scared that they will not swaddle him and will let him CIO and be loud so he doesn't sleep. They don't usually swaddle him and typically don't do things how I like. I am such a control freak, so it's making me feel like I shouldn't even go out because I don't want to mess up his routine.
