Saturday Successes 1.31.15

[penguininthecity]

Success #1: I have the correct year up this time!

 #2: I was able to hang out with my friend and her 5-6 mo old son without freaking out. In fact, I was perfectly good holding him (will be good for the achy empty arms while I'm waiting on my Molly Bear).

#3: Work went along pretty well yesterday.

What do you feel are your successes today?

I cleaned my fridge while my husband was nice and doing the grocery shopping. Not just cleaned it out, but actually cleaned the shelves.

[mrscw]

I took a shower! I will put on make up later. Family is going out for my birthday!

[jennielee123]

My sister is here, and we are both still alive. The day is not over yet though.

[serunatu]

I cleaned out my wallet.

Had my first night out last night, my mom came to watch baby. I had to pump at the bar, joked about having everyone take a breast milk shot. Everyone was actually into it. So we used my breast milk as the cream in an oatmeal cookie shot. No joke. Everyone loved it.. so, success?

[abenson3]

Got myself, 2 year old, and LO ready for a Baby Shower. Attended said baby shower and did not kill my toddler.

Also, LO has given me a 5 hour sleep stretch in her crib 2 nights in a row!

Ummm... I have no words.

Well, I do, actually

You have very open minded friends! Whole new meaning to pump and dump. Not a drop wasted!

My supply is up since I started using the simple wishes hands free bra. I'm so happy about that!!

[lissjm]

Shaved my legs for the first time since LO was born...7 weeks ago.

[chicorojo]

Touched up my resume and decided not to stay home for a year, so I sent in my resume a couple places. We will see how it all works out.

Went to a cloth diaper resale. Didn't find what I was looking for in the way of cloth diapers but scored three glass baby bottles for $5! Then I went to the other cloth diaper store in town and bought one of their demo diapers for $5.

[liljsmomma]

I fit into my pre pregnancy jeans!!!

[neonsun419]

Hosted DS1's fourth birthday party!

[kimmie7714]

Got some cleaning done and organized my kitchen shelves.  I am going to a heart ball tonight sponsored by my work.  Leaving DH alone with LO.  A bit nervous, but it should be fun to see my co-workers! 

[irish14]

I pumped a whole ounce from my right boob! That's a twice what I've been getting - trying to train myself to respond to the pump in the next month.

Jr slept in rock n play long enough to sweep kitchen and living room. I also got my bedroom picked up and toilet, counter and mirrors cleaned in the bathroom but not the bathtub.

[birch113]

I made myself a lactation smoothie (the one from the other thread) AND prepped all of the dry ingredients in individual daily ziplock bags so this isn't just a one time occurrence.

[feeshahd]

I finished watching House of Cards.
Oh and I brushed my teeth

[absolutelyayrianna]

I went to my mil's to scan and email my proof of residency to my school. Andplusalso! Got my GED transcripts and to school as well
Woo!

[melobear]

I did my taxes this morning. LO woke up half way through and wanted to eat. I finished the rest of it while breastfeeding.

Who wants to bet it's actually an undiscovered hangover prevention/cure?

Was it that bad? I was hoping to try it out, but now you're scaring me.

I loved this 30 Day Shred, until I tore my plantar fascia while doing it. From that point on, JM's name is never uttered out loud in this house!

I got 10,000 steps in today...and now I'm eating a Cinnabon.

Had my gallbladder removed on Monday and DS gave my mom and DH a pretty rough time while I stayed at the hospital overnight (my mom got snowed in at our place). However, since I've been home on Tuesday he has been sleeping 6 hours at night. He even slept 7 last night. Before I went into surgery he was still just doing 3-4 hours at night. This has made my recovery SO much nicer this week.

I made my dad's birthday cake yesterday (a chocolate Angel Food cake) while LO was having a melt down and it turned out to be DELICIOUS!!

ETA: we had moby wrap success while I made frosting and frosted the cake last night too.
