I'm so sorry @JessieAlbin‌

@JessieAlbin‌ sucky, I'm sure you wowed someone in the audience!

I have been on my period for 13 days now. I'm on the pill, but I can't stop my PGaL brain from wandering. I'm being irrational.

Just learned how to make "real" hot chocolate - mixing cocoa powder, sugar, and a little milk to make a kind of "sauce," then adding milk and heating. It is fantastic. Where has this been all my life?

My husband had his ball tonight. I stayed home- I ate entire box of pizza paired with a pink moscato. My night is so full of win.

misskristina21 · November 2014

I don't understand why my kid is up from 2-4 am every day, unless DH is home. I just don't get it.

allyandmike24 · November 2014

@maitaibeth that is so wonderful!!! It's such a great way to give back.

@jessiealbin so bummed to hear that! I predict that you will be doing bigger things before we know it. You beat out all but one other person, that's a pretty big deal!

I had such a horrible moment at school yesterday...for the past two weeks, one of my students has been SUPER excited because his mom was pregnant. I didn't say anything, because we have 8 other pregnant moms and I wasn't sure if it was for real or not. Well yesterday, this little dude's mom came in and asked to see me in my office. She had a miscarriage over the weekend and just wanted us to know that my student was having a really hard time processing it. Needless to say, we spent quite a while crying together and hugging. So sad. I've never actually seen that pain so soon AL...you realize that you just have no words that would possibly make that better. Family things are one of the hardest parts of being a teacher, for sure. It's hard not to get invested.

deidremaria · November 2014

I'm sorry @JessieAlbin‌. That's the shitty thing about contests; only one winner. The good thing is you networked. You may end up getting something cooler out of this.

rtv3 · November 2014

@JessieAlbin‌ - I'm sorry you didn't win, but congrats on getting so far and I hope some of those connections you made really come through!

@MrsStanton87‌ - yay! That is so exciting!

@allyandmike24‌ - I know what you mean. It's the best and the hardest part of teaching. Hugs to you and your student's mom

Also, how are our New York moms doing? That is a ton of snow!

speechie517 · November 2014

My supply has tanked. I went from pumping 20+oz. per day to barely 12oz. and Blaire drinks 12-16 Oz. at daycare. MY LC has me taking 3000 mg Fenugreek and 3000mg Blessed Thistle and recommended pumping after every time she nurses. I'm drinking 80ish oz. of water, eating oats, flax, brewer's yeast, etc. I'm not on hormonal BC and my period hasn't returned.

Any other suggestions or advice ladies? I have all of next week off for Thanksgiving, so I'm hoping to just relax and nurse her a lot and get my supply back up.

@rtv3‌ I'm in buffalo! Luckily my area only has about a foot. I'm tired of being one of the only ones at work but it is what it is. My mom got another 2 feet last night (she's 20 mins away) totaling 4 1/2 feet. It's just crazy.

If someone digs that up, link please? The toddler's at preschool, and I could use some good reading with my coffee.

It's in here I think - but looks like she deleted all her comments. You can still read other peoples replies etc... though.

So, the BMB drama went down in my new BMB May 15 and it was so stupid. That bitch was trying to stir up drama. She posted a pic then deleted it when people started recognizing her H or ex H. I don't even understand the whole thing. Too much drama to follow. I'm not surprised she got outed, we thought she was catfishing from the beginning and obviously something fishy was going on. I just feel bad for the children involved. All the adults are so childish and making poor decisions. Money makes people go nuts, it's a damn shame.

I just can't get into my new BMB. I'm so tired of the drama, intros, what is my baby's gender questions, tacky baby shower questions, and bitchy replies. I feel like I just did this, so it takes all the fun out of it. Plus, I have no time to keep up with y'all and them.

@lia619‌ good luck! I hope it goes well.

@JessieAlbin‌ hugs! Sorry you didn't win, but at least you made connections!

@swerbtastic3351‌ sorry your DH is being a dick! I'm lucky DH doesn't force me to have sex. I guess he doesn't want to deal with my wrath.

Finally, today is DH's birthday and I got him a delicious strawberry shortcake this morning. I want to eat it, but I have to wait until tonight. Boooo.

Eta- spelling

Here's the link if anyone wants to read how it started.

@ambarnett1 - wow I didnt even think about you having a new BMB until I read your post, which is silly because ofcourse you would. But my first reaction was Noooooooooo you belong to US not THEM

ambarnett1 · November 2014

@juniper75 it's nice to read about people going through the same thing again, but I just can't get into it. I've been around here for 1+ year, I feel like I know all of you and can't possibly keep up with them. Oh well! I'll continue to lurk with them and contribute some here. It is what it is

I gave mastitis. Had a fever at work all night and felt like death. And then at 0630 I got chosen to go to a state wide Ebola drill. Worst night ever

Any sense of what's causing it? I.e., could LO be filling up on solids that you could pull back on, or eating less due to distraction where you could move to a quiet room to feed? I've also read recommendations to increase skin to skin, baby wearing, and even cosleeping for a while.

ladygali · November 2014

Hi all! @JessieAlbin‌ sorry about the contest. Sounds like a good experience, though.

@lia619‌ good luck! You'll be awesome!

Solidarity to moms dealing with husband issues. Things seem to be getting a little better around here, but it's like one step forward and two steps back. Blah.

@jodibolivar‌ I'm doing some buddy shopping this weekend, as well! Excited to find something fun and unique

ambarnett1 · November 2014

@RedDawnsRevenge‌ feel better. Mastitis sucks balls!

I have 0 ideas on what to get my MIL for Christmas! I can't get her anything for her house because she lives with my SIL. She's not crafty. She's not stylish. She wears horrible grandma tshirts all the time that are way too tight. She works and plays Farmville on her computer at home, that's it. Help???

Those Facebook money gift cards for Farmville.

Teresa1896 · November 2014

My mom is hard to shop for too. She's totally not sentimental or into your typical grandma gifts. I got her a flat whisk that she liked of mine and dd painted a ceramic monster to put in my mom's garden (she's a master gardener). I may also pick up a pretty light scarf for her- she lives in TX and it doesn't get very cold there.

snowbound · November 2014

I just made snow ice cream for the first time. Where has this been all my life!

edoliesmom · November 2014

My SIL said her 4 month old only takes two naps a day and that her older son only took 2 naps around the same age too. Is this normal?? Everything I've read says that babies should be sleeping every 2-3 hours around this age. Like, I don't think he refuses to nap, I just think she doesn't try to put him to sleep. :-/

knotty-girl · November 2014

I hear phantom crying all the time. I swear I hear crying and then when I check on LO he's sleeping peacefully, out cold.

I have a girlfriend who has said that her baby just doesn't nap during the day since the kid was about 5 months old. My initial reaction was same as yours, that she just doesn't want to devote time to getting her baby to nap. Now I just check myself, try not to be so judgy and remember that every baby is different and I really don't know anything about her daily routine or schedule.

I mean who wouldn't want their baby to nap more ....lol.

Yeah, I guess my reaction was affected by her reaction when she seemed surprised that Edolie still naps every 2 hours. I wish she didn't because I feel like my entire life revolves around her sleep schedule right now, but it is what it is I guess. And then when my IL's babysat her last month, my SIL was there. She was so sleepy and on the verge of going to sleep right before they picked her up, and then she wouldn't sleep in the truck for them, just cried the whole time. Instead of trying to get her to sleep when they got to their house, they just kept her up for 2 more hours. I was really irritated. Anyway, I brought up that incident, and she said, "Oh she seemed fine and was happy that day," almost as if she didn't believe me or something. Sigh.

juniper75 · November 2014

I hear ya - my inlaws totally give me a hard time for respecting LO's need for naps and sleep schedules. They think I make it all up in my head. I am sure they talk about me behind my back about it all the time. I was the same with my first and she is a great sleeper now - so they can suck it! Still I know its going to be a fight at holiday time...I am dreading it.

Oh and my LO still naps every 2 hours too. Sometimes she can go three - depends on how well she slept on previous naps. If your SIL is right about her LO"s sleep habits, her baby is the special snowflake - not yours.

ETA - correcting sleep to slept. I should stop trying to be so fast when I type...lol

kseccomb17 · November 2014

Sorry @jessiealbin- you worked so hard on that.

kseccomb17 · November 2014

Gavin quit consistently nursing about 4 weeks ago. He then only nursed at night time. He completely weened himself about 2 weeks ago. My milk is now dry and I find myself kind of sad. I'm so glad I was able to get as far as I did with him, unlike with Erin (that was a terrible experience). He's crawling and walking himself along the furniture. I feel like this is all happening at once. And the fact i've been on my period for 2 full weeks now probably isn't helping with my emotions. In amazing news, G slept through the night two days in a row.. He's never STTN, so it was a nice break.

deidremaria · November 2014

He's not interested in crawling but he easily goes from sitting to belly then back to sitting. Touché kid.

deidremaria · November 2014

@kseccomb17‌ love tit because LO is sttn.

Aryssa had her GI appointment today. he thinks she is perfectly healthy but we will be running the basic poop, pee and blood labs anyway. she is active and she has grown 2 inches. said to up her caloric intake (yogurt, meat, etc) since around this time the calories in breastmilk start to reduce

Shelbysteffens · November 2014

I thought all of the "mystery" in my marriage went away after I became pregnant, but no apparently not my marriage was exposed to a new level of openness today, I don't think I've ever been so embarrassed Infront of my husband or humiliated. I just want to go lay in bed with the blankets over my head and pretend that the biggest Tmi moment never happened X_X

allyandmike24 · November 2014

Well I just wasted a whole nap reading that J13 drama. I need to get a life.

In other news, I have to take a class tonight from 6-10. I usually go to sleep at like...8:30.

( Stupid state licensing requirement. Y u no respect my sleep schedule?

In other other news, it's pretty much dark at 4:30pm.
