Re: cup vs tampons. I'm considering going cup when AF returns, because tampons irritate me up there and pads just feel icky. When I switched to organic pads and tampons, things improved, but my lady cave was still a little cranky. But it could be different post baby. I bought some Softcups to try but things out, because $40 is no joke. You can't resell those things (ew). Says the woman with a load of diapers in her washing machine.
Had an interesting day. Started off rough. Z had some diarrhea and his cough was sounding rough after his first nap. So, we called the on call pedi and met her at the office (she was on the way there to see a few other patients). Thankfully his lungs sounded good and he hasn't had anymore diarrhea. She thinks the super hot humid air we've been having is making the cough he had worse.
I had a baby shower to go to this afternoon and was planning on bringing S with me so H could get some work done (he's teaching a new summer class so he has to make sure he stays ahead with planning and do grading). I was a little worried how it was going to go since Z hadn't napped well. But he did amazing. He had a few minutes where I thought we would have to leave, but I nursed him and he would be good again. It was a little hard since I only knew the mom to be and no one else at the shower, but everyone was very friendly and helpful. I felt really awkward most of the time though. I'm not good in those situations (I'm a crazy introvert). There were some older kids there (6/7yrs) that adored Z and played with him while I ate. I'm so glad it worked out well.
My shoulder/neck is all messed up right now. Not sure if I just slept weird the other night, or if I pinched something, but it's very painful. And I can't get to my chiropractor until Wed.
L and S have been so cute this weekend. I had a view into my future of a mom of two boys. I taught L how to spit into the sink and S was just cracking up watching him. I can barely make S laugh and L gets him giggling! Then L was tackling him on the bed and they were both laughing. Luckily S can hold his own because he is built more solid than L and he plays dirty with hair and ear pulls. I'm thoroughly enjoying these boys playing together!

britbratjf, ntaylor989, mamasue, thank you. I really didn't think my actions were "babying". And you're right, what is babying anyway with an 8 month old! If he was 5, it miiiiiigggghhhht be different.
My Mom often says dumb shit. I think she's just jealous that he's totally fine with my ILs. My ILs watched him while I went back to work, so he's used to them. My parents overwhelm him when they come over.
