Friday! Woot! Time to get up and get my workout in. I took a few days off for my cold and feel like a slug. But its so hard to get out of bed when it's dark out and DS is snuggling..
Yay Friday! Short weeks really are the longest weeks. Cam abandoned his sleeping until 4:30-5 routine and is now waking at 3 and refusing to go back into his crib. Oh well, I like the snuggles! Today I didn't even try and took him right into bed with me and nursed/ snuggled/ slept the last 2.5 hours. It was nice! And I'm feeling 100x better than yesterday. 😊
Hooray for Friday! I think I might leave work a little early and treat myself to a solo Target trip. It's a little sad that buying diapers and dish soap without children in tow is a treat, but that's life now I guess.
Here's my random thought of the day. I really don't like pumping (not that anyone does I'm sure). I think if I was working I'd be formula feeding because I hate the pump so much. I give you ladies a lot of credit.

Lol I was thinking this last weekend. My bff and I went to Walmart to get some stuff. And I kept thinking this used to be a dreadful chore..., now it's a treat. Coming from someone with one kid mind you I'm sure it will seem like a vacation when number two comes 😂

Not that I like pumping at work, but I don't mind it nearly as much as I do at home. I HATE pumping at home. At work, it's not enjoyable but at least I get a small break to think about my baby and know that I'm doing something good for him even when I can't be there with him. Plus I'm a little obsessed with my stash right now. I get a weird satisfaction when I pump more than he eats in a day.

That's true... Maybe I hate it because it never fails that DS starts screaming when I start pumping LOL

x100.
And don't tell my boss or co-workers, but I don't mind my day being broken up into manageable chunks. It gives me 1.5 hours (less setup and cleanup) a day that I can read, TCF, or just zone out on FB with NO interruptions. This kind of stuff just doesn't happen at home.
Another mom just came back to work yesterday. I don't know her, her story, or anything about her life other than her name so we can exchange emails to coordinate timing of the privacy room, but the weirdo in me is worried that she's not producing enough. I mean... it's day 1 for her being back. And seriously, back the eff off, none of my business.
Hi y'all!! +1 on the pumping but I agree. Pumping at work is actually WAY better than at home. And although it's only been one week (and a short one) I am AHEAD of LO's needs, which makes me happy. Also, I feel like an idiot bc I've been pumping with 21mm flange at home and 24 seems to be better! So now I'm using 24 all around. I pump at my desk, in my office. It works out well. AND gives me a GREAT excuse to leave people behind or miss stupid meetings!
Looking forward to the weekend. There is a fair in our neighborhood, complete with petting zoo and PONEY RIDES. Who said living downtown Chicago isn't kid-friendly?!?!?! Oh wait...none of you!
Also, I'm allergic to ragweed. If you look on a allergen map, ragweed in Chicago is "medium-high" right now. No wonder I can't stop sneezing!

I'm a pump hater too. I don't think I'd hate it as much except I just always feel like I'm Too Busy at work to be able to pump. But then I get major guilt that I only pump a few times in my shift. It's a lose lose situation right now. I don't mind pumping at home.. I normally only do it right before I go to bed.
I loathe the pump too, but if I was working outside the home I'd totally love pumping as an excuse to get out of dumb shit. 😝
Another DC day here. The kid is starting to get on board with the way I do things. He's starting to say please and thank you on his own and I finally found a non-destructive indoor activity that kept his attention!! (Napkin folding) Still working on his attention span and independence though.
So glad the weekend is coming up. I am determined to get to the La Leche League meeting in the am. Then babysitting our cousin's foster baby (10 months). We are SO hoping they get to adopt him, especially since baby I will have a cousin around the same age!

We are going on our first date minus kids since before DS was born tomorrow. It's to my high school reunion but we might leave early so we can have some one on one time. I am nervous about being away from DS at bedtime though.
Ridley is getting a bald spot on the back of her head!😥 She's rarely not being held and this is giving me all the feels like I'm still not holding her enough or something, which I know is ridiculous. Ugh. Please tell me I'm not alone!

Perfectly normal. It comes from sleeping on their backs. If you watch her when she's sleeping I bet she turns her head back a forth a bit as she's settling down from an arousal. J had it at this age and A has it now too.
I hit the lottery!! Everyone in DC has been sleeping for over 2 hrs ❤️🙏🏼 had some major Pinterest time for activity and meal planning and Pinterest is like vegging out for me. Win! And Mh is coming home early. In like 45 min. Huzzah!

Last day at my job. Last day as a contractor!!! So excited to be a real employee on Monday. And a much shorter commute!
We are going to our friends for dinner tonight with the kiddos. They are just 3 miles down the road and I'm going to try to put DS down in their crib since they aren't using it yet (their youngest is just 2 weeks old!). Hopefully he will sleep for a bit so I can get some time with the adults!! We did this over the weekend but I didn't stay long and took the kiddos home to put them to bed. Tonight I want to hang a little longer and their older DD will be back from her grandparents so I'm sure her and my DD will keep each other entertained.
We used to leave next door to them and it was great. I could put DD to bed and take the monitor next door to hang out with everyone.
Tomorrow two of our friends are getting married and I'm excited for a night out with H and friends!
