And go!

My supply is pitiful these last few days. My period is due any day (no chance of pregnancy because no sex-yet I'm still worried. Lol). Hurry up and get here you bitch. Z is not happy with the decreases supply. He's very frustrated at night. And I haven't been able to add in power hours at night like I normally do because he's been waking up between 8:30/10.

My supply is down too. But it's part laziness on me and part increased in solids for M. If I'm at my desk I'm diligent about pumping on schedule. But if I have anything to do I skip a pump.

Lefty is really underperforming. I nurse on the left once a day (during the week) and lately it's been 3 minutes or less. :/

I finally caved and am searching for a cleaning person. It's so weird to me though, like what do I even ask them to do? bathrooms, sweep/mop, vacuum and dust?

With everything going on plus MH shipping out to the territories there's no way I can stay on top of the cleaning. I'm so looking forward to not having to stress about it.

I'm starting to look for someone for October when MH goes back to work and also feel completely clueless!

With my service, they will text me day of and ask what I want in order of priority. I don't want them to clean over 4 hours so if they don't get to it, oh well. I also say if I want something cleaned or deep cleaned.

I'm 99% sure I ate a bug during a dream feed last night.

MIL is driving cross country with her new BF and just let H know last night that she is going to show up on Friday and stay the weekend with us. We have a babysitter for the very first time on Saturday and we are not giving that night up. Needless to say, H and I are both annoyed.

andtheheartbreakers - a cleaning person changed my life. I resisted for so long. In addition to what you listed, our person cleans Windows, baseboards, light fixtures, and removes all the cat hair from the couch. She also makes our beds.

Confession: Sometimes I only snap/button the top of A's shirts/dresses, rather than each one. Gets the job done. We also rarely put pants on our girl. Since we're in cloth, it's pretty much like wearing bloomers, anyway, and DC loves having one less step when changing her. Lazy Mom Award right here!

andtheheartbreakers, I'd love a cleaning service, but definitely not in my budget right now. Enjoy it!

charliefox, sure, MIL, drop on by anytime! Invite yourself, it's cool!

We just got rid of our cleaning service several months ago since it was almost $100 every other week, we didn't need the same cleaning every other week, and the quality was variable (not the same people all the time). It might be worth it again if we specified a priority list each week.

So in light of dwindling supply, would you slowly decrease bottle amounts at DC? Not much, but like an oz or two a day? He's been naturally not taking all 4pz at his last bottle several days, should I just start lowering that bottle to 3oz?

Dani has been such a fuss today. She cried at drop off, was fussy all day, barely napped, but still ate like a champ. Now we're home and she's just being generally crabby. Is it bedtime yet?

My pumping varies from 13-15 ounces per day. Unbeknownst to me, Glen has been giving whatever I pump rather than add an ounce of two from a freezer bag (because all the bags are 4-5 ounces). So I'd say yes, try 3.5 ounce bottles and see how he does. M is definitely eating more solids and the pedi said that the daily intake of BM will go down between 9-12 months as solids increases.

Eta: if it's just the last bottle he's not finishing then maybe start with decreasing just that one.
