For the past two days my kids naps are off which mean no break for me. Ugh!!! I need to get this back on track.
We just got back from a Teddy Bear picnic which is a death trap for a kid with food allergies! Luckily R was too busy running around to notice the food.
L needs to nurse from my left side before it explodes. I don't want to pump while at home. That's stupid so I'm chasing my 9 month old around shoving my boob in his mouth. He's not pleased with me. But at 2am, I'm the best thing ever! Grrr
Went to the parents swim meeting last night. Team pictures are going to be while we were on vacation. We were scheduled to come back late that night. We knew G would be crushed not to be in the picture (and he was going to miss a meet), so we changed our entire vacation plans. In the end it works a LOT better. We were trying to do too many things in a short period of time. We cut out a portion of the trip (Bar Harbor) but we will spend a LOT less time on the road and have a much more relaxed pace. I was able to change the flights with no penalty/charge, I am saving $100 on the rental car, and I got a great deal on our hotel in Portland. It is a win/win. So happy - vacation feels much less stressful now.
The weather here was amazing yesterday - even chilly. Horrible for swimming, but great for living.
karlamo similar boat with Ellis. Life as a 9 month old is much too exciting to drink milk during the day. She drinks only 6-9 ounces during my workday (as opposed to 13-16 previously) and this is the case whether I'm home or not. On Saturday she wouldn't eat for so long that I had to hand express (we were at a baby shower). I'm usually horrible at hand expressing but my right side was so full that I Just had to squeeze and it sprayed out. She is waking up a couple times a night and I'm sure that it's at least in part to make up for the lack of drinking during the day.
****loss and living child discussed***** We're queer. I'm 34, have severe stage 4 endo, and both fallopian tubes are gone. My love ("Manada" 33) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tav.in and Ca.sey at 21 weeks gestation.

I feel 1000 times more productive today than I have over the last 10 weeks. I love my Baby K'Tan!
Also, DS is getting himself ready for his school athletic banquet and I think that what he has chosen to wear is tacky but I'm keeping my mouth shut and wondering if he'd want to know.
Lucie's hip is now totally normal following her ortho appointment yesterday! 1 more week of the harness off for only 6 hours a day, then 2 weeks of the harness off for 12 hours a day (basically only on while she sleeps), and then she is done!!! She goes back at 6 months, 12 months and 24 months for xrays to make sure the hip is developing normally, but that's it!!!
William surprises us daily with full sentences that not only show his expansive vocabulary, but his understanding of language and what it means. Last night on his way up to bed he said to J "Night, night, Mommy. See you in the morning."
William has been SOOO clumsy lately. I think part of it is our new slippery hardwood floors. He has wiped out and bumped/bruised something 4 times in the last 4 days.
Tomorrow afternoon we have pedi appointments for both kids. I am looking forward to hearing where they are on the growth charts. I feel like they are both tall for their ages, but I also have nothing to compare to, so I could be totally wrong.
I can't believe William is 2. That seems so crazy to me.
We still haven't taken Lu's 4 month pics. Life is just too damn busy. I literally can't deal.
This has been an insane work day. I am soooo tired!
I am on a conference call that I am not paying much attention to. Woops!
Should I weigh myself tomorrow morning? I can't decide...
I'm being held captive by a sleeping M. She's so cozy and cuddly. Her nap schedule was a bit messed up today. She had been doing well taking most of her afternoon nap in her bed!
Thinking about getting a mom friend a present (she's getting married this weekend). Debating between a gift certificate or something for her house.
Looking forward to the weekend! Last Saturday was CET's birthday but since we were traveling, we're celebrating at home this weekend!

Baby wearing is what keeps my house clean and family fed. I don't know how I'd do it otherwise. My stage 5 clinger is no joke. He just saw me and crawled into the other room after me. I wish I truly felt as cool as my kids make me out to be.

Was she previously STTN? Wait... Don't answer that. Don't want to know. I got mastitis once and now I'm super paranoid about a full rack.
How's your pumping going? I think I need to add a third pump session but I don't want to. But I need to ior baby don't eat. I have 4 freezer bags left so I'm kinda screwed/forced to pump more. I got a little to wasteful with my milk and I'm paying for it now. Thank god our kids are almost a year and we can stop obsessing about milk. I still plan on nursing/pumping but at least I can physically add a alt milk option in.
There's tons of grammar/spelling mistakes. Just go with it, it's been a long long day.

Yeah when she was 10 weeks old that went out the window with the 4 month sleep regression! But she was down to 1 wake up and feeding most nights for a little bit and I thought we were headed towards STTN

Responded before you finished
Pumping is ok. Ellis has been supplemented with formula since she was 3 weeks old so I'm not worrying about pumping enough for her. I'm just trying to pump enough to maintain my supply and give her some milk during the day. I pump twice a day and get 8-10 oz total (usually 8). I was pumping 3 times per day but I was getting about the same amount so I dropped one.

healz413, That's a decent supply right there! I pump twice and get about 10 on a low day and 12 on a good day. My L eats a ton so I'm sure my body makes what he is calling for. I was getting about 15+ in 2 pump sessions but that ended months ago and I haven't done anything about making up the difference. I need 3, 4oz bottles a day for daycare. I've been coming up short hence my freezer stash dwindling. I need to just pump more but I'm lazy.

It may feel like lazy but you're parenting two kids and working and pumping. There's no lazy in that.

Hi all! The move has taken all my time lately. We finally have the living room and master mostly put away. Kitchen/dining and bathrooms are next.
It's been a whirlwind! There was a problem with the new floors so when we arrived Sunday night the house was just concrete subfloor. A team of 7 installers came in on Tuesday and installed the floors in one day. Thank god bc it was not fun living with just subfloor for a few days. We spent all day yesterday trying to bust out as much as possible since J went back to work today so it's just me doing a lot of the unpacking from now on.
Me: 31 Wife: 30. Legally married 2008, thanks CA! TTC #1 since 11/14 using donor sperm. IUIs Jan-Aug 2015 BFN Sept & OCT 2015 added Femara. BFN Saw RE December 2015. IUI with Clomid & Trigger Jan 2016 BFN IUI #13 with Follistim April 2016 BFFN IVF #1 July 2016. 14R, 10F, 6 Day 5 embryos. 4 PGS normal embabies!

kona C just ordered herself a K'tan because she's jealous but we are different sizes. I think you'll be happy with it. I found the instructions in the booklet useless and use the video tutorials on their website instead.
karlamo I'm sure you're even cooler than your kids make you out to be. I, on the other hand, was uncool before it was cool to be uncool.
