    Just handed in the keys to our apartment, we've officially moved into a house! It's filled with boxes right now, I keep telling myself to take it one day at a time with unpacking and setting up our new home. 

    Right now I'm just grateful that LO was agreeable to us both taking an afternoon nap, yay! Moving is so exhausting to begin with and with an infant it's a whole new level of time consuming and exhausting!
    Congrats!!!  Don't worry about unpacking...it will happen organically :)  Once you need something it will get unpacked and you can find a home for it then.  I tried unpacking our new house right in the middle of my 1st trimester feeling like poo...completely un-fun, but it eventually happened.  Good Luck to you!

    @AmberLiz99 that's awesome!

    My first brag is I took a first step to facing reality today and visited my work. (I'm still on maternity leave, go back in Jan). I brought LO and she is quite a ham. She acted like every single person who held her and made faces at her was the funniest person she'd ever met, giving these deep belly laughs and squeals. Quite the show! If only I could bring her with me when I have to go back to work for real : (

    My second brag probably doesn't sound like something to brag about, but i'm down to 7 lbs above my pre-prego weight. I think most of you have dropped your baby weight, but I was stuck at pre-prego +18 lbs for like the first 2 months, yikes! i'm EBF too : (  then it started to veerrrrry slowly creep down. still a ways to go, let's hope it continues!
    The fact that you're losing weight while EBFing and at home is amazing!! I was lucky to lose the weight quickly (but my MD was really on top of me only gaining 15 pounds because I was pretty overweight to begin with). 

    However, being home and BFing all day I am always FAMISHED! I think it's part boredom and part hunger but I am constantly eating and have been slowly gaining weight :#

    I'm seriously hoping that going back to work will cut down on all the snacking.

    I thought they said breastfeeding should help us lose weight?! I know it doesn't work for everyone but I started to get worried when the scale wouldn't budge at all those first few months!

    I'm sure getting back into your routine will help : )

    Things have been great the last two days!! Preston has been putting himself to sleep better than ever and slept great even with all the driving and new faces yesterday.  Today we got our tree up, took photos, got outfits for our family portrait tomorrow and for our second Thanksgiving, and now DH and I are headed to the movies to finally see "Fantastic Beasts" while Grammy puts Preston to bed.  He even gave us a full blown belly laugh as we gave him kisses goodbye!

    Eta: movie sold out. Lol just our luck. Oh well, gonna go to the local bar and get tipsy instead.

    My brag is that my kid took a great pic with the Bass Pro Santa.  We didn't even go for that but thougt, why not?

    Aw and you got a little smile! Same thing happened to us. We went to make an appointment for family photos at JCPenney and while we were there we took the Santa photo.  Lucky we had Preston's Santa hat in the car.

    This isn't a brag because I had nothing to do with it, but I feel like we share our happy news here. LO is drinking from the bottle! I thank my husband and our dear Lord because I was stressing over this!

    DH finished his semester at school so he finally just took a day this past Monday and forced the issue, sending me away to pump while he worked with her. She took an ounce or two that first day which we thought was a small victory. Then on day 2 I went to our neighborhood cookie swap thinking she was fed, but later she got fussy and when DH recognized it as hunger he gave her a bottle of breast milk and she guzzled 5 ounces. Yayyy!

    It may have helped that we also started solids this week, which was also interesting. She seemed to enjoy it but had no clue how to actually eat it, but by day 3 was practically grabbing the spoon from DH. So maybe she has learned that nourishment doesn't only have to come from Mommy. That may have made me a little wistful before, but I go back to work in 2 weeks and this is a HUGE load off my mind.

    Just want to brag about winning the husband lottery. My hubby is off for the week so he watched the kids while I went to a shittastic day at work. I came home to a spotless house, a pot roast in the crock pot, and he had taken our 3 kids grocery shopping. He also watched our friends 2yr old and 1 yr old so they could go to a movie, so 5 kids 3 and under! If I had done that I would be sobbing hysterically to you all while drinking my beer!!!!

    Impressive. I haven't had my DH watch Jackie more than a couple hours and he's usually pretty stressed by the end of that.

    I think it helps that my husband is the oldest of 7. He does way better with the kids then I do lol, patience is not one of my virtues...

    What a cute idea!!!!!!

    My brag is that I actually got it together and sent our Christmas cards out in the mail last week!
      
    We didn't send a card but we had the same idea!

    Also, we had our 6 month check up today and she said we will have teeth within the month!!
     So funny ours said the same today but Preston is 7 months.  She peeked in his mouth and was like "looks like teeth are coming soon!"

    @AmberLiz99 I'm a costume designer... have we talked about this? I know one of the other girls who doesn't post anymore was too. Your piece looks great! I was a professor of costume technology, but decided to return to freelance after having Calvin. I couldn't do the commute and run a costume shop and have a newborn  :/
