allycat , man, you guys just can't catch a break. I'm sorry
Not much sleep here for me last night. E went down so easy, I should have known it was a trap. Ol' Admiral Ackbar failed me.
So, at 10:15, after an entire 30 minutes of sleep, she had me up wanting to eat. So I fed her. Shortly after she wanted more. So I fed her again. Then she just didn't want to settle in the crib but passed out immediately on me...so I "slept" in the chair for 2 hours. After fighting sleep in the bed (damn, my dog drinks water SO LOUDLY) for about 30 minutes, I finally slept. Then she had me up just before 6. And she wouldn't let me put her down again. So cue more time in the chair. I hurt, and I'm exhausted.
I also weighed myself for the first time in a couple of weeks and I'm down 3.5 pounds from that week, which is 1.5 pounds from my lowest weight. She's sucking the life out of me again. I'm not complaining, but it's a bit concerning given how much I eat when I'm home all the time! Adjusting to non BFing life is going to be hard, y'all.
Lol fuzzylogic, I'm the same way. I'm at pretty much my lowest weight since high school, even though I eat like a fiend. I always say my kid is a leech - he's sucking the life out of me (not to mention my brain cells)

YUUUUUUP.
This morning, I put E back in the crib while I took a moment to brush my teeth and pee. H started to walk down the hallway to get her and I told him she was fine, she was making noise but not fussing or upset. Hell, she wasn't even wet. I kind of stormed out of the bathroom when he showed up holding her and he asked if I was mad at her.
No, I'm not mad. I'm exhausted, you jerk. I told you to leave her there, I needed some space and you couldn't give me that. You instead had to follow me around with her. SPACEEEEEEEEE. I'm not going to be mad at a baby, but I can sure as hell be frustrated as hell and completely worn out.

Also, in the BFing and losing weight camp. I feel like I eat so much to try and keep up. I will say that last time I did this w my DD, things started balancing out when she was about 11mo old. Probably bc she was eating so many more solids by then. I returned to my normal pre-pg weight. So I hope that happens this time around too.

Re: Weight loss -- about a month ago I had food poisoning or something, and lost five pounds in two days. I think we can all agree that isn't good. My MIL actually said it was good. Probably because I'm such a fat-tastic person that every stomach flu is a blessing.
Every get-together with that side of the family is filled with women discussing their weight loss efforts, when all of them are perfectly beautiful the way they are. It's aggravating at the least.
Okay, sidebar over.
A very dear friend of mine got engaged last night and I'm so excited for her! And it's such a beautiful ring, too. Old fashioned, amethyst, encircled with tiny diamonds...just lovely.

allycat, ear infections are the worst. I had to sleep holding E for two days and she's a baby who doesn't like to be snuggled.
Man I do not have the same BFing experience as everyone else. I'm gaining weight despite BFing. I know I'm eating more b/c HUUNNGGRRRRYYY, but I am stuck about 20lbs overweight. I'm trying to eat less and workout, but....7.5 month old.
Speaking of that, our new co-worker is a 6ft tall, blonde former ballerina. Talk about hard on the ego......

allycat, Sorry your baby isn't feeling well. I know how it is and hope he feels better soon!
My LO has been such a crab the last few days and I don't know why. I can't even walk out of the room without her yelling and carrying on, but she is a faker because there is not 1 tear shed. I keep thinking "oh maybe it is her first tooth" nope nothing lol Just wants to be carried everywhere. I swear she giggles once you pick her up as if she is saying "yessss got my way"
I forgot they were coming to move our gas meter today. Went to let the dog out because he was barking and I was met by a dude in blue coveralls. Oh hi...ignore my black lace nightgown that doesn't support or cover my boobs correctly.
I slept poorly last night. Baby was good but my daughter had a cough and I was worried maybe she had croup or something because it was nasty. She is doing well this morning though.
I just picked up my dad from the airport. He saw DS last when he was a newborn so he will enjoy him more now.

My H does this allllll the time. Space, dude, space.

I am still holding on to anywhere between 5-10lbs and eating like a fiend. It's weird.

kensie5226, if it makes you feel any better, while I am 40lbs less than my pre-pregnancy weight, if I lost another 35 I would finally be back to my wedding weight.
We celebrated our 10th this summer. LOL.
I am not a small person. I'm going to be in for a very rude awakening after BFing is over for me. But I also think that I'm either losing or maintaining, despite my best attempts at eating like the Coneheads, is because I'm not drinking anymore. It makes a big difference.
I forgot they were coming to move our gas meter today. Went to let the dog out because he was barking and I was met by a dude in blue coveralls. Oh hi...ignore my black lace nightgown that doesn't support or cover my boobs correctly.
Wow impressive, my poor husband gets me sleepnig in shorts and a tshirt or tank top. Maybe I will step up my game tonight lol

Lol. Gas man was lucky - we just got home from a few days away so my normal sleep t-shirts and shorts are in the laundry. This is not usual.

We've been in the bad sleep camp since being away from home. We got home today so her routine better get back to normal asap.
Jealous of all of you who lose weight while BFing. I've never been in that camp. I gain weight because it makes me ravenous so I eat like mad and nothing comes off.
whatsit good job on the black lace nightgown. MH is disappointed I'm not back to sleeping nude, but I still randomly leak and it seems to be a bigger problem when they are free. So I'm constantly wearing a nursing bra...and none of the ones I have are remotely sexy.

Swim class was adorable today. I was brave enough to submerge her twice, and the instructors did several more times. It's so scary!! She does great though!
I made enchiladas for dinner. I was prepping and told DH I didn't want DD in the bumbo while I was slicing because I couldn't catch her on a dime, so give me 5 so I could finish prepping. He got pissy and I guess packed her up to take her along for a quick dog run. I took advantage of baby free meal prep to make some guac and sip some beer. And if he doesn't come home in 5, I'm starting to eat by myself! Mom never gets a hot meal anymore!!
