My kid STTN!! I don't even care about not talking about it, because I've accepted that it will not happen again haha.
He went to sleep at 8:30 and woke up at 5:30. He just nursed and is eating puffs and watching MMCH. I'm drinking coffee because I'm ready all ready. This is pure insanity right now. I lurve it.

So I've been having pumping difficulties and you may remember that DS is on the very low end of normal for growth. He hasn't dropped off the chart, but he's dropped curve lines. I've always been paranoid about it and now I feel like even more of a failure because I don't think my breastmilk is enough.
Anyway, in the past week, 3 people that haven't seen him in a few months, told me that he looks like he doesn't grow. First, that seems like a really shitty thing to say. Second, what if he is small because I didn't do enough bm/nursing wise? It makes me feel like shit that I may have caused this. And I want to slap those people.

apk4 It's hard to not second guess yourself. Knowing how much thought and effort you've put into pumping, trying to start formula, etc... I can't imagine that you've "caused" anything. People say things during small talk that they don't intend as an insult ... just ignore them. Babies come in all shapes and sizes. What does your pediatrician say?

Love for the STTN. Try not to be down on yourself. I'm sure DS is perfectly healthy. People have no filter.

Beautiful fireplace and paint color by the way!
You have been so supportive of me and I really appreciate it. I hope you know that. It means a lot to me.
She says that he still has an upwards trend even though he's dropping percentile, so she isn't worried. She thinks he is just a small baby.

I should like to soundly slap those people for you. Like flat palm slap and all.

I am at work ... on my anniversary.
But it's all good because DH and I had a fun date last night while some friends of ours watched ANB. We did dinner and then went and saw Jurassic World in IMAX and 3D. I couldn't tell you the last time he and I went to a movie together!!
Workwise - things are going well. I think I have successfully secured some dedicated workspace for the project team. We didn't get everything we asked for, but we got enough.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to a short work week and a loooong weekend on the beach! Woohoo!!

Dude no. Shut it down! F hasn't grown much at all since 6 months. We haven't been to her 9 month appointment yet, but she only weighed 18lbs yesterday and she weighed 16 7 at her 6 month so we're clearly both growing at a slow rate. You look short and skinny so I would assume that's completely normal. This is easier said than done because I have had the exact. same. thoughts. We're half formula now and still stalling so I don't think it's anything to do with what I'm feeding her. It's just how she grows

You're right. I just go crazy with my anxiety over this stuff and it sucks. He's happy and content (except at night haha) so I should trust my pedi and you and my H and everyone else and just drop it. Gahhh.
I wish I could just peer into the future and know that everything I'm doing now is everything I can do, and that it'll be alright. Why does life not work that way?
A lot of the other kids were really hesitant with the water but she was splashing and kicking. Everyone was pretty impressed. H's boss gave us the use of his old cabin. it's a tiny one bedroom with 3 loft spaces where people can sleep too. Told us we can use his lake toys too. REALLY nice of them. REALLY REALLY nice of them. I'm pretty excited about getting to the lake more this year.
I started drinking at 11. It was awesome and really uncharacteristic of me. H's boss was like "beer?" and every time I'd be like "YUUUP!" Lol

I completely understand that it's so fucking hard. I know a lot of times I feel like I carry more anxiety since H is gone a lot. Like I need to worry enough for the both of us? I was really really worried after her last appointment because she was gaining so well and then all the sudden it stopped so it really threw me off. It took me a couple days to talk myself off the ledge. I mean...I admit I posted about freaking out about it. It still is in the back of my mind sometime and then I have to remind my brain to shut the fuck up!

We had a great weekend. One of my high school BFFs was in town with her H. We also had a little party with our neighbors that involved lots o wine. Why is the weekend so short?
americanninjamommy, that song is stuck in my head now too! Happy anniversary, lady! I'm glad you had a good date and work is still going well!
Thanks! Yeah, work is actually going really well. I am surprisingly happy and don't mind going into the office anymore
But I need my loud ass co-worker to shut her mouth with talking so loud to her daughter on the phone. As in the 13 yr old teenager who NEVER listens to her mom so she gets yelled at by said mom who works in an open office environment where EVERYONE can hear every intimate detail of each tongue lashing. #tacky
DD's first birthday dress came and I put it on. It's really tight around where the skirt is sewn on. Bitch should've use elastic. I ripped one of the seems so I have to fix it but it looks SUPER DUPER CUTE
