So my mom was finally released from the hospital. She refused the assisted living facility and is at home. As predicted she is not doing any of the things she is supposed to be doing like walking around and my step dad (or ex step dad I guess) is staying with her for two weeks but he doesn't push her to do anything. She also isn't sure what meds she is supposed to be taking because they kept changing everything while she was in the hospital. So frustrating!

We have our friends over tonight. They cooked dinner and they brought beer. They're currently playing with our babies while DH and I eat seconds and I sip some wine. An excellent Monday really
I'm getting super stressed out about daycare! I thought we had things figured out, but then the one available spot got taken at our top choice. Now we have to decide between our second choice, and possibly adding a third choice. Ugh. I just want to find something and feel good about it!
Late to party but loved tited along the way. I had off today so did some cleaning, got my hair did, and then look DD to the pool. Love my new schedule!
Tonight's CIO was only for 15 minutes before she put herself to sleep. I looked up a 9 month sleep regression..apparently there is one and we have all the signs. Ugh. Everything I read for suggestions is what we are doing..so hopefully it helps. The MOTN CIO are the hardest..she literally digs her nails in as I place her in crib. Heartbreaking..but I need my sleep. Luckily MOTN is less than 15 minutes!

I'm sorry things aren't going super well now that she's home. Can someone call the hospital and have a nurse come to double check her med setup, and maybe go through it with your step dad? I hope things improve so she can stay home.
Unfortunately because she was on disability prior to the surgery she is on Medicare and they don't cover home nurses for her. She should be able to call to straighten out her meds and at some point she should have physical therapy come to the house.

Hopefully she can get the mess figured out. They can be so confusing. And there are always so many. Also, hopefully physical therapy can come out before your step dad leaves to help show him what she should be doing. I'll continue to have your family in my thoughts.

I had a great staycation day with H! Day drinking, delicious food, a movie date (+movie popcorn), baby play time!
My only complaint today is my pumping supply has been really poor and I had to give DS formula for the first time. He would not take it. I'm stressing about this. Tomorrow I'm going to try a different brand. I only have one full bottle of bm in the fridge and I hate that I have no backup plan. Please, baby, eat! And please, supply, pick up.

I'm glad your date day was great! But I'm sorry about your pumping and having to go to formula when you aren't ready. Hopefully he'll take another brand. It's so stressful when they won't eat. Keep trying! I'll think good thoughts. Hugs hun.

Like for the date, but boo for supply issues! I started taking Fenugreek again yesterday because I have a really hard time pumping anything the afternoons I work. Did you try mixing with BM or just straight formula? I remember lots of ladies saying they had to mix for quite some time.

I did 3 oz bm and 2 oz formula. The worst part of it was I had to dump the whole thing since he wouldn't eat it in an hour. It is always terrible to dump milk but even worse when you have very little left.

Rant over. At least I have wine.
Oh no, I'm so sorry. As if the whole daycare thing wasn't stressful enough already. At least you still have a little more time to figure it out. Hang in there.

Your staycation sounds amazing but I'm so sorry about your pumping troubles. Hugs and wine to you. Hopefully your little man will like another brand better!

Yay for good staycation but boo for the supply. Hopefully today it will pick back up and the new formula works for a back up plan.
