@lalala2004 I'm so impressed/slightly envious that you're still nursing. DD abruptly weaned herself at 8.5 months, and I was so not mentally prepared for it. Good for you!
@spylon thank you! I've been incredibly fortunate to not have many issues after the first few weeks. A few clogs and blebs, a couple bouts of mastitis, but it's mostly been smooth sailing. I'm trying to make it to age 2, and I'm not opposed to tandem nursing, but if I'm not pregnant by then we'll likely wean.
@lalala2004 That's really great. It's such a wonderful bonding experience. I had one bout of mastitis too, immediately after DD decided she was done with me. Holy painful Keep enjoying all those sweet cuddly moments!
@lalala2004 Way to go on nursing this long! My DS weaned around 18 mo and I miss having a little nursling. Although, I really liked baby nursing waaaay better than toddler nursing. So much less wiggling and gymnastics.
@spylon yeah, it's the pits. Last time it happened was when I was trying to night wean around 13 months, so I abandoned that plan and decided to wait. Here's hoping it's more successful this time.
@westphilly tell me about it. He had really cut down on nursing, and then after a recent illness he's crazy about the boob again. Give me a break, dude!
Gosh it’s been a busy week I’ve been reading but haven’t had time to post or reply until today. @SmashJam I am always worst case scenario it drives MH crazy @mrs_drc_rn I love family theme costumes and @lalala2004 @cm716 I’ve always wanted to do the incredibles as a family but my step kids are teens and never with us for Halloween ... as far as intimacy goes I force myself to HIO after kiddo is asleep even if I’m tired it’s generally worth it in the end @lalala2004 YAY FOR AF and a plan!!!!

Well, since it’s Friday, I might as well post....(it’s been a busy week here...)

Ages of other children? 18 months on Nov 1
Any thoughts about this cycle? It would be great if it could start any day now....
Any questions? Is there anything I can do besides complete weaning to get my period to start? I know doctors can prescribe something to “jump start” it, but I’m not sure I’m quite ready for that. We are trying to night wean, and I don’t nurse/pump all day while I’m at school (so 8-10 hours depending on the day, 5 days a week, and since August...). I was really hoping dropping the pumping at work would help out, and when it didn’t, I hoped longer stretches at night would help. DD has gone 7-8 hrs on occasion during the night, but most nights it’s more like 3-4 hours...and she’s stubborn and if I don’t nurse, she will just stay up for good. The last few nights she’s gone down without nursing, so maybe this is it? We’ll see!
GTKY: DD will be a farmer. DH and myself don’t dress up. We’re boring...
@catwoman8731 I didn't realize our LO's are the exact same age! My DS was born May 1st, 2016, too! Here's hoping your period arrives soon, too, since we seem to be loving identical lives. I wish I had more advice, but I didn't do anything. I mean, I have been eating lower carb, higher fat, but I'm doubtful that had anything to do with it.
Hi All! I'd like to re-introduce myself! My name is Amanda and I used to be an avid bumper ..(bumpee?) before my son was born, and then, as you all know, shit got real. lol. I assume most of the old Bump etiquette is the same? Anyways..good luck to you all this month!
