Guess what? I'm donating the ~20 oz of milk that I have in my freezer from pumping to relieve engorgement when M was first born (before I was taking meds). It's not a lot, but it's something. So what I'm pumping now will replace that stash (which I've liked having on hand in case of some type of emergency) then go from there as far as donating goes. I'm easily getting 3 extra oz a day and I can see that adding up. I'm glad I figured out this much.

I am thinking about maybe not doing take out and bringing Isaac out with DH to the restaurant. Dare I try? Opinions?
You can do it! We have taken Gio out to breakfast a couple times. As long as he is freshly fed and changed, he just sleeps in his carseat. We haven't tried a dinner yet since thats when he is normally more crabby.....its scary! Best of luck to you if you try it!
songbirdsinging55 Definitely do it! Like mander82 said, just time it so he's fed and clean. We've gone out a couple times to dinner and baby has done well, just sits there in her car seat and watches/sleeps. We went to places where having a kid is no big deal, so even if she got fussy I wouldn't be stressed. Let us know how it goes!
right now its actually the easiest time to take them out to eat because they should sleep the whole time. Its when they are more mobile and eating table food that it gets more tricky!

Try it! We have taken Max several places including a craft beer tap room that also happens to have delicious food (we went on a Monday and there was only one other couple there) he won't sit in his carseat more than five minutes but I just hold him and he is fine, he loves to look around at everything!
This week needs to slow down I can't believe its Thursday already. I literally have not put Max down for a nap this week, he has take. Every single one in my arms...the nanny is going to hate me next week and this may make me a terrible Mom but I can't help it I need all the cuddles!
I have never seen parenthood, but if they scream at each other, I probably wouldn't be able to tolerate it. I can't watch A Christmas Story (I know that belongs in UO) or Everybody Loves Raymond for the same reason. I'm really letting my uncool fly today!

Get this gals... I had 3 responses to my donation post and I picked the mom/baby I thought was the best fit. Turns out she goes to my church! She hasn't been since we've been there because her baby is sickly, but I'm kinda astonished. The church is not that big and there are not many babies there (I'm thinking 3 or 4 under the age of two, my LO and hers included).
Holy what a day. Poor guy was so cranky, I did bath time an hour early and he is passed out. I'm hoping to be sleeping soon as I finish pumping. Fingers crossed we get a few hours out of him. I'm exhausted.
We survived the shots! He cried for a bit, I secretly cried, but he had a little food and now he is sleeping in his swing.
ashleymm197 whenever my parents watch Liam, he always sleeps better when we get home. (Lol 4 hour stretch)
I am full Portuguese and look it. My brows are crazy, luckily thick brows are in so as long as I trim them I can get away with it for a while. Phew
gldnbearz Liam only sleeps in his swing or rnp. Everything else gets only couple minutes. I really need to start working on that. He is getting too tall for both.
I have no eyebrows!! Technically they're just blonde and invisible. You're lucky!
spikesmom I think you had the perfect response. I feel for her, that's heart breaking.
I can't believe it's Thursday, either... but we've made good packing progress. Getting down to the nitty gritty and cleaning process. Yippee.
