I think it might be. I know I'm a culprit in the demise. Now that I'm back at work and also doing fewer middle of the night feedings, I just don't get on very often.
Since I'm on though-- Yesterday Ellis stood on her own for at least 5 seconds. Also she's finally back to us giving her solids after she had a stomach bug and/or stomach issue from my antibiotics. She is very very happy to be eating again. This eve we are headed up to my partners' grandparents' place. We will be driving during bedtime so we will see how that goes. It's our first time trying that and a good test for our trip to Chicago in August. I hope she falls asleep in the car and then is also willing and able to go back to sleep fairly easily when we get there and get her pack n play set up
****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 think part of its the age of the babies. Mine is a crazy person so I rarely have time to respond. Still here though!!
Freya has been so freaking whiney the past couple days. I don't think anything is wrong she's just constantly having tantrums. Usually over wanting to play with her big sisters (too small) toys. It's so annoying. And she's been waking up early too - like 5:45. Which means she's tired for a nap earlier but I refuse to put her down until her normal nap time which results in even more whining. Ugh.
I'm still around. I mostly just lurk and love tit anymore though because of lack of time. Work has been crazy busy and I'm usually not caught up on the board until the end of the day. At home Owen keeps me too busy to get on.
Hmm, I haven't gone onto the FB thing and don't really want to. I have a hard enough time "keeping up" with my locked list as it is. I figured things were slowing due to vacations, going back to work, babies needing constant vigilance as they find new dangerous things to get into. I hope it's not dying!
I can't with the news today. My heart is breaking from all the hate and sadness. I'm going to hunker down with my family and breathe in their life and love today.
Fearsy, I assume you're referring to the latest shooting? I've just seen the headlines. Totally understand feeling like protesting doesn't get you anywhere, but sniping cops isn't going to help turn the tide. It's going to make things worse.
I rarely post here because I don't usually think I have anything to contribute. But I read everything!

Fearsy, I'm sorry you're struggling. This age is hard. And being the primary caregiver is hard. And if C is anything like K all she wants right now is you. Which is nice and also insanity inducing.

I'm starting to panic about packing.
In other news, my SIL has been struggling to develop a supply for her 4 week old baby, Austin. I'm sending her my freezer stash since it can't come with us anyway. Any idea where to get a foam cooler I can ship dry ice and milk in?
sandj918 and cowplanet, a friend of H's was on the police scanners yesterday and kept updating us on the Dallas incident before it even hit the news. The fact there is so much hate and ignorance in our country and that lives are being lost over it makes me sick.

That's such a nice to do!
Fearsy I'm sorry you're having a bad morning hope the rest of your day will improve

The grocery store typically has them in the seasonal aisle.
Asher's asleep in our bed while I'm pumping. 2 nights in a row he STTN in his crib in his room then joined us after his 6am bottle. This, I can handle, kid.
I think so, unfortunately. Of course FB is a big culprit buy ad a mobile user, Tapatalk is so not user friendly
But you guys PROMISED FB wouldn't make this board die! I'm on FB, but actually really don't like it so I try not to use it. Are you guys having conversations over there daily?
I have a little over 200 ounces in the freezer. My plan is to stop pumping in August. I have enough to get through day bottles until 3 days before her birthday, if we don't use any of the stash between now and then. Right now we are using all my daily pumped milk since my output has gone down a bit.
I can't remember the transition with A very well. But how do we go about moving to milk? Just one day no more BM bottles and that's it? I'd really like to stop pumping by August 1 but now I'm fearful that's not a workable option.

There's a lot of convos on FB now, I try to pop in here at least once a day, but i mostly lurk here.

My baby has hit the sleep regression hard. She figured out crawling, sitting up on her own and standing in her crib in a span of 2 days, and now has spent the last week practicing non stop in her crib. I'm trying to night wean on top of that. So our night went something like this:
7 bedtime 7:50 binky 9:50 binky 10:15 dream feed 1-2:30 party time 2:30 feed 5 feed 6-7 half asleep/half awake (she wanted to sleep but kept waking up)

I'm a culprit.
I'm just so freaking busy and I don't mean that in a Braggy way.
My baby is a nutcase who likes to try and walk- but then smashes into things. He's busted one tooth, and hit all three of the others enough to make them bleed and freak out on four separate occasions. He just starts walking away from whatever he's holding on to and then just falls! He's insane.
Plus- our stuff is on the way!!!!! We are moving next week so we are trying to get shit done in the house.
And omg. My doula certification class is NEXT WEEKEND. I'm finishing up the required reading and kind of freaking out. I can legally take clients after this class! I'll be looking for a couple of women who want a freebie so I can use them towards getting certified.
Today- I'm taking Henry to Jacksons school because its Share Day, and he wants to share his brother. I'm dying from cute already. After that my dad is helping me move our new washer dryer in, and then Henry has an extremely late 9 month well check.
Also- my baby has decided he's a newborn again. He literally nurses all night and will only sleep if he's in my arms. I've created a monster and fixing it will suck- if we decide to fix it.

I find I mostly just lurk these days. I feel like I have zero time, and zero interesting things to add.
Plus having MH home with me all day long makes it hard to come on here. I also discovered that with travel days he's actually gone for 16 days, starting on Monday. I don't know how I'll survive.
