I started watching GOT about a week into my maternity leave because of all the hype. H was already watching it. Well he decided he wanted to stop watching it and rewatch it with me. So we have been watching about one episode a day.
Well we have two episodes left and then the finale from last night.
Figured I would get through it before maternity leave it us. Did it about a week and a half in advance. I have no idea what I will watch once today is over
Omg, LOVE got!! The season finale on Sunday was soooo good!
Anyone have any tips for swaddling? DS is suddenly Houdini. I was using a receiving blanket folded in 3rds to keep his arms down, then swaddled with an A&A muslin wrap.
The miracle blanket has been our lifesaver! Was getting 6 hours and after were getting 11! It's been consistent for 9 days.
Kimmy, you also posted that awesome video on the March board about swaddling. I would copy it here, but I don't know how on tapatalk.
My FIL said something in relation to my post partum belly when I was still in the hospital. I don't remember what it was exactly, but so fucking rude. I was too sleep deprived and mesmerized my the cute boy I had just birthed. But if I had been in my right mind I probably would have gone off on him.
Ok so maybe I didn't have the swaddled tight enough the last few days. I made sure to get it really nice and snug last night, and he slept from like 8:30-4:00.
But if he turns into Houdini again, I will look into this Miracle Blanket!
It's been a crazy couple weeks here and I've been MIA as well. I ended up taking a class the first summer semester and it was intense to say the least. It's over now and I start another one next week. DH thinks I'm nuts.
Plus S has also been sick on and off and the older kids are out of school for the summer so I've had zero time. Hope everyone is well. Off to get caught up on threads why the LOs nap.
I have two, and it's so nice keeping one at work in my pumping room. That would be so annoying lugging it back and forth!
So what's the feeling of people on used pumps that are "open" systems. I am wanting to have a second pump that I can leave at work and don't want to have to buy one at full price. I see so many pumps for sale on the FB garage sale sites that are a reasonable price. Just yesterday there was the PISA from someone who said it was only 4 months old and that it was her backup pump, thus very rarely used.
I searched online for ways to clean them and actually took mine apart to take a look. It really seems like you can get all the surfaces cleaned that could have gotten milk particles on it. It just seems crazy to even think that milk particles are going to get all the way down the tubes and then past the rubber diaphragm part. Also the internet tells me there has not been any documented cases of illness from a shared pump.
Makes me feel like the pump companies just want everyone to buy more pumps....
ETA: I would plan on buying new tubing
Both of my pumps are "used." I got them both from my sister, and one was her friend's before that. I say "used" because both of them had supply issues and therefore used them for like 2 weeks. I just bought new tubing for them.
Is it true the ending wasn't great? I remember hearing a bit about it when it finished and it's put me off starting because I don't want to be disappointed by a bad wrap up.
At first I was really disappointed and mad with the finale but the more I thought about it I think it was a fitting ending for his character. I'd explain more but I don't want to spoil it for anyone planning on watching. It definitely wasn't what I hoped but it doesn't ruin the awesomeness of the rest of the series.

I stopped watching it half way through the last season because the story lines had gotten out of control starting the previous season. My husband kept watching it and told me how it ended. I was glad I stopped investing time in it when he told me how the rest of the season went down.
Yea the first couple seasons were awesome, but it kind of went downhill.
I have $300 worth of work clothes in a shopping cart from Mod Cloth. I'm too fat for my old work clothes, and I have business travel coming up. Still can't convince myself to pull the trigger and drop that much cash on clothes. Someone convince me it's okay!
You will be more comfortable and confident in clothes that fit you well!
Hey ladies. I hope everyone is doing good! I've been MIA so much lately. There's been a ton going on and now we have decided to build our house. So things are getting crazier! Have I missed a lot?

Today I told DH I'm going to lock myself in my closet until I get it cleaned out. I waited until DS2 was sleeping and DS1 was watching Mickey with DH. I'm on attempt #3 and have spent maybe 10 minutes in there. Why does everyone need me as soon as I start doing something? On the plus side, I've already got 2 baskets of clothes to donate.
I'm going to start a 30 day challenge on the 1st if anyone wants to join. Squats, pushups and leglifts. I can start a new thread for accountability if wanted.
I'm in.
Me too. I started eating better last month and taking walks with the boys when possible and I'm really happy with the results so far. A challenge is just what I need to keep me motivated.

I feel burnt out. I wish my husband would help more.
Tell him. Be specific. I need you to... wash the bottles...fold the laundry... offer me a shower daily. whatever it is you need.
I do. I've even made List. He will "get to it". Drives me nuts.he will do a thing or two that takes five minutes. He has admitted the transition to being a parent has been more challenging than he excepted. He is experiencing what can be beat described as mild depression. I've been a stay home wife for three years. He is used to me doing everything for him. Right now I can't. I try sometimes even though I shouldn't.

So sorry. I feel like my husband was amazing during my pregnancy but now that the baby is actually here, it's too much for him. I know he's tired, but he's not working right now (he's a teacher on summer break) and I need him to step up his game.
