Eta: While I am excited about this, I did not wake up at 3am just to get my order in right away. I have some awesome insomnia to thank for that. Blech. Hopefully Monday is treating everyone else a little more kindly!
Good luck back at work, budders. I understand why it must feel strange to go back, especially now you've got V.
Today looks like it's going to be a long day. We're not up early, it's a very civilised time here. But it's a bank holiday so no classes, and Monday is usually our day with two classes. H has gone to work and L was so devastated when he left that she sobbed for ten minutes and couldn't finish her breakfast (my girl loves food). And she's being hard work, apparently just because she's in that kind of mood.
budders I'm so excited for you that you are no longer pumping!!!! That was the best! You're not going to know what to do with yourself! And +1 to back to school anxiety. 41 school days to go, though, so hopefully we can do it!
Thanks, mirage86! I got one!! budders, congratulations on no more pumping. Just don't tell anyone at work so you can still get a break by yourself ;-) I have nothing to add aside from wishing my kid would sleep until 6:30am. He woke me up at 5:54 and my alarm doesn't go off until 6:45 on Mondays. I only have 37 days of school left. It's National Teacher Appreciation week so hopefully appreciation comes in the form of coffee.

budders we also day weaned last week and I'm so looking forward to no pumping anymore!!!
jessila I'm with you on the early mornings. Ugh. Oscar woke up at 5:45 and I was actually happy because I thought he would nurse and sleep for at least another hour. Nope, I got 20 minutes. So tired!

Oh man, my school has a wicked good PTA. Now that I know it's teacher appreciation week in anticipating some sweet treats in the lounge. Bring that I'm not a teacher I try to wait until the end of the day to partake but there's usually plenty!
budders- that is so exciting to not need to pump anymore! I've only got 20ish days left of school, so I will just stick it out, but I am definitely jealous. I think he is starting to wean himself a little- so hopefully it will be a relatively easy transition into summer.
B waved for the first time this weekend! We were at Panera and he waved at the table next to us. My heart just about exploded.
Today is Melanoma Monday. Please get yourself checked if you have any suspicious moles! Skin cancer is no joke!
Good morning! We had a rough night thanks to a stuffy nose and cough, but luckily DS seemed to be doing a lot better this morning, hopefully that sticks because I'm ready for this little crappy sleep spell from the last couple nights to be over. He was all over the day care room as soon as I set him down, and then he acted like he couldn't be bothered when I went back after filling out his sheet to kiss him good bye. Whatever kid, love you too. Though I am glad he seems to do so well at day care. First day of the month is always super busy for me at work, as are Mondays, so I've got my coffee and am hoping to be able to get lots accomplished!
Yeah, my school has stuff planned all week. We all got lottery tickets this morning (I lost), and they have a luncheon and massages on Friday - of course I won't be here, though. Ugh! I was really hoping for donuts this AM.
Morning! I'm teaching fifth grade today. LO slept pretty well but I'm still dealing with the period from hell, so we'll see how today goes. I found some leftover ibuprofen from delivery & that's helped a bit. The Smores brownies I made also helped a bit!
Oh, and we're taking LO to her first Pirates game tonight! It's past bedtime, so we're not staying very late (maybe the first two innings), but the tickets were free! I made her a black and gold tutu to wear!

I'm hoping to be done pumping at work in the next 2-3 weeks. I'll rely on my freezer stash to get her through the day until 12m and only nurse morning and night. I seriously can not wait to be able to send her on her way with DH whenever I want because I don't have to worry about nursing! He's in for a rude awakening on just how much DD time he's in for;)
Happy teacher appreciation week to all you amazing teachers out there. Currently sitting in the PnP with DD. Our hotel is gross and I DNW her drawling around on the floor, but she hates being in this thing unless I'm in it with her.
Good morning! Ds2 has a bad cough, so humidifier and Vicks going on here. He's in good spirits though thankfully, but did have trouble falling asleep last night. Going to keep an eye on that Incase it's an ear infection as well, but at the moment I don't think it is. I wish there was a quick test parents could do at home to see if it's an ear infection that warrants a doctors visit!
Please please please invent this! I would totally buy this!
It's doggy daycare day which means floor sweeping and mopping. Plus going to try get a Drs. apt. for the little man to get his ears checked before we fly next week.
Morning ladies! Facebook memories told me my baby shower was on this day last year. Then to realize C will be one on the 31st, now I'm having all the feels. I fell down the Etsy rabbit hole at 2:30 this morning after helping C go back down. Now I'm torn if I want to stick with no theme just a back yard BBQ, or do a vintage airplane 'time flies' theme. (A very loosely done theme) The skies are blue (finally, we've had grey rainy clouds since Tuesday) so I can't wait to go walk with C ( I might even bring the in-laws dog). C seems like he's feeling better, now if we could get this pooping or lack there of issue solved that would be great. Hope everyone has a wonderful (as good as a Monday can be) Monday!
Those of you weaning during the day, are you supplementing with milk or formula or frozen BM? I still nurse her 2-3x during the day and she still has 2 bottles while I'm at work. I only have 16 more work days, though, so I'll keep pumping until the end...

+1 - the amount of visits we've had just to make sure it's not an ear infection before his first birthday is crazy!
sabrinaml, glad C is feeling better. A tblsp of prune juice in the bottle helps us enormously!
He was chugging the prune juice (straight from a sippy) last night. That was after eating 1.5 containers of prunes throughout the day! He finally just had a decent diaper.

I'm using frozen BM, I still have like 600oz in the freezer. I'll just continue to give her 1 sippy a day with frozen BM until I run out:) SO ready to be done with pumping!!!
Happy Monday! All 3 kids are still sleeping! I stayed up til midnight cleaning house, folding laundry, and coloring my calendar. And watching Return to Me. It's supposed to be unseasonably warm today (80+), and all I have planned besides DD's schoolwork is my weekly ballet class. Apparently 2 of the girls (both 12) had a disagreement and 1 of them quit the class. This pisses me off because it means completely changing the dance they are practicing for performance in 6 weeks. The studio owner actually sent home a letter earlier in the year stating that once you have committed to a class, you need to stick with it unless you are seriously injured, die, or your family moves away because otherwise you let down your classmates. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. I don't entirely mind if she leaves because her attitude sucks and she doesn't try hard. However, I would make my kid stick with it. Thoughts?
DD learned how to high five this weekend and I love it.
The weather is supposed to be..ridiculously warm this week. High 20s/30C (high 70s/80s) which is a beautiful week in July here, let alone early May!! Totally bringing out the water toys and sprinkler for the kids!

Morning! It's rainy here, but it seems DD sleeps a bit later on rainy days, so that's a nice trade off. We're going to go visit my grandma for Mothers Day today since I'm off, then maybe run to Kohl's to do a return. My grandma is in the late stages of dementia, and doesn't know who I am anymore. However, she babysat all 12 of us cousins at one point or another, so she's always really loved kids. She is always so happy when I take DD to see her at her assisted living. I'm pretty sure she thinks that DD is her own daughter. Whatever brings a smile to her face!
The termite swarms started last night, so for the next week or so we get to sit around in the dark and pretend we're in an air raid so the damn termites don't crawl through every unsealed area around our doors and windows and take over the house. Taking the dogs out is really fun, too.
