1. Nothing much. Just trying to stay motivated. I got out of my usual routine and it's hard to get back into it.
2. Just her birthday. I also think she will take her first steps soon. She is standing unassisted now so it's just a matter of time.
3. Supply is good. She isn't nursing as much at night so a I'm full and uncomfortable in the morning.
4. Emotionally I'm fine. I'm not thinking about weaning at all. It would be extremely difficult to wean this girl. She really loves the boob. I plan to just let her self wean.
5. For fun I go to the zoo with the kids. I also hang out with my best friend and her 4 kids. I feel so lucky to have found her bc we both just moved here (our H are in the same residency program). We can talk for hours and never run out of things to say. I have found that friends like this don't come around too often.
2) Any upcoming milestones? LO will be 10 months next week
3) how's supply? Shitty at night so we have been doing formula in her bedtime bottle. I just ordered a smaller shield to see if that does anything.
4) how're you doing emotionally? I'm OK I think. My anxiety is pretty much baseline again. I get a little lonely and down stating home some days.
4) what do you do for fun? You. Not lo!!! I used to like to play pool, darts, or go bowling. I enjoyed skiing once a year. I like crafting. I like being outside, beaching it, camping, etc. Now a cup of tea or coffee and reading whike LO is napping is a treat!

1) what's up -- DH is out of town for 36 hrs starting this evening. First time with both kids for that long by myself!
2) Any upcoming milestones? -- I'm surprised she hasn't started cruising yet - she's so physical and became much happier once she could crawl around - I thought she'd jump straight to cruising but I guess she's happy just crawling like a maniac.
3) how's supply? -- fine
4) how're you doing emotionally? -- okay. trying to mentally prepare for 36 hrs of no break.
5) what do you do for fun? You. Not lo!!! -- these days?? not a lot, unfortunately. Going to Trader Joe's is pretty fun. Trying to schedule more time out with friends or at least other moms (mom dating is weird). I do enjoy organizing our photos into photo books....I'm working on one of those right now.
1) what's up- We're trying to get back to STTN or at least only one wake up. Being away for a week was tough on LO's sleeping situation. 2) Any upcoming milestones? E has started to walk! He started right after the New Year and now he is pretty good. 3) how's supply? Supply is pretty good. I am considering starting to pump again to build up a stash so I can send BM to daycare once he starts there in March. 4) how're you doing emotionally? Sad that my mat leave is nearing the end. Obviously I am grateful to have been able to take the full year but I feel really sad at the thought of not hanging out with him all the time now. 4) what do you do for fun? You. Not lo!!! I love working out, swimming, skiing, anything active. I also love being super lazy and binge watching TV.... because of that we haven't had cable in 6 years, it was such a time suck!
1) what's up Happy Birthday sanibel21! Hmmm...what is up: I think i'm going to try acupuncture for focusing better at work! I get too easily distracted. 2) Any upcoming milestones? LO will be 11 months old soon. I had planned to pump 2x/day until his 11th month but I think I'm down to just once a day at work now. I pumped last night for 25 min for about 2.5oz total. It doesn't seem worth it and it gives me my night back completely. 3) how's supply? See #2. I still have a good amount at 5am when I nurse LO (between 5 and 6am) and I still have a good amount when I put LO to bed at 6:45pm and then I'm pumping about 6-10oz/day. 4) how're you doing emotionally? Ready to not pump anymore. NOT ready to give LO milk or formula. I still have a freezer stash so I'm not too worried about it. I'm just SO OVER the pump!!! 4) what do you do for fun? You. Not lo!!! I "window shop" for real estate a lot. I go out to eat and hang out with friends, I watch TV shows w/ DH, and we like to go on nice long walks. I'm pretty boring! Oh, we travel. Next trip is to California w/ LO and just me! It will be my first trip flying solo w/ LO and DH is a hot mess about it. I wish California was time zones AHEAD so that LO wouldn't wake up at 5am while I'm there!

1) what's up - nothing new, back to work after vaca & it sucks! 2) Any upcoming milestones? 10 months next week...follow up for weight & other issues too. 3) how's supply? - Same. Well, maybe a little less since vaca when I didn't pump quite as much. I basically pump 5x a day for 1/3 of the bottles he takes. I think I'll probably be done sometime next month. We'll see. He won't nurse anymore at all. I tried again when he was screaming hungry at 3 & he'd just rather wait for his bottle. 4) how're you doing emotionally? Fine. I noticed that my anxiety is a little high lately, I think I just need some down time & it'll come back to normal. I hope. 4) what do you do for fun? You. Not lo!!! - not much lately! We like to go to sporting events (any really, but baseball or football particularly), I like to read (ok LOVE) and I like to drink wine...and watch trashy TV
1) what's up. Lo won't nap. First it was just her afternoon naps, but today she refused her morning nap. I'm sitting in the car because she fell asleep driving around. We have a play date in 10 minutes though! 2) Any upcoming milestones? I think she'll be walking in a few weeks. Eek! 3) how's supply? Good. No change. 4) how're you doing emotionally? I am starting to think about weaning. Part of me is ready and part of me is sad to think of stopping. I will probably keep the morning feed. It all depends on lo though. I don't want to force her to stop just because she turns 1. 4) what do you do for fun? You. Not lo!!! I love to read. DH and I binge watch shows on Netflix after LO goes to bed.

1) what's up? Nothing much. Same old same old. Started looking for jobs. Don't need one but thought I'd at least look around.
2) Any upcoming milestones? Linc has started taking some steps on his own. He is not walking completely on his own but he's getting there. His first two teeth are also making their way towards the surface!
3) how's supply? Good. I don't pump so I don't know if it's really changed.
4) how're you doing emotionally? I'm fine. I get lonely sometimes but M14. It used to help more but some things have changed lately.
5) what do you do for fun? I like to shop, watch law and order: svu, reality tv, and makeup videos on YouTube.
katka512 - how old is your LO? Will you wean to WCM or Formula?
She is 10.5 months. I plan to wean to wcm so it won't be until she's a year or so. I hope she's ready then because I really don't want to make her wean. But I think I'll be ready at that point. Right now she hates all sippy cups so I'm a little nervous.
jtizzay, I haven't tried but one of my friends loves it. I have a doidy cup but have't tried it either. LO is officially off bottles and using a munchkin straw cup with a weighed straw. It leaks though, so I'm on the market for a better weighed straw cup. weighted? Weighed? English is hard!
