Happy Weekend

[littleredfish]

What's up ladies?

Been MIA for our trip, but back again and it was great. Other than a little IL drama, it seems like a good place to live with lots to see and do, so now just to make sure we live far enough away that daily drop ins are not practical.

We're meeting with our realtor in an hour to discuss strategy, he wants us to consider staging but I'm nervous about doing that while we still live here. Anybody with experience? What if the kids/pets damage or ruin a piece of furniture? It's bound to happen that something gets ripped or stained just because it's not our stuff. This is what makes me most unsure about it.

Other than that, DD1 comes back from my moms tomorrow or Monday depending on when family stuff wraps up there. Then DH takes off on Friday for work and seeing him again depends on the house selling, so hopefully sooner rather than later.

I spent a lot of money to fly out to visit my family and my mother has a friend over and basically told me to get my kids and get out of the way. So that's great. Remind me to go to Mexico for my next vacation.

I met up with a friend for breakfast and then bought shoes for an upcoming wedding. My mom watched the baby.
She's been fussy all morning (the baby, not my mom). I'm thinking it's her teeth. Right now I'm enjoying baby snuggles on the couch while she naps

Moving weekend and I'll o want to do is crawl into bed. Baby had a stomach bug Friday and I'm still mental recovering.

Wow, samelly, that's really shitty. What is the nature of this "friend?" Surely they can handle some kids running around...

AFM, we went to a local steak place, nothing fancy, but it has a long history in our city. Figured E should get to eat there at least once in case it goes out of business. Then we stopped by the park for some pictures and got home before it got crazy humid and hot.

Just chillin' now. I hear her making noises so back to play time.

The goal of the day is baby proofing. I got the baby gate extension and we need to install the gate right now. Then I'll get down and start packing up all breakables at her height, and then cabinets

samelly wow I'm sorry you are in that situation!

Not much happening here besides a lazy day. I have zero motivation to do anything and my husband works all weekend.

It is a friend that is spending the night because she is in town for a wedding she is actually a super sweet lady who loves kids...I think company just stresses my mom out. My mom was worried that I wold make a mess at the table she just cleaned...because I am still 8 years old.

Haven't been here in so long but life is slowing down a little so I'm going to try to come back. Hope everyone has had a great 8?? months since I've been here!

Any other BF moms still using nursing pads? I guess that I had expected to be done using them by now.

Mostly, I leak quite a bit from the opposite boob that LO starts nursing from.

[pearlvirus]

rachaeleigh yup. I can often get away without if I'm gone from her for a short time, but if I feed her on one side, the other often gets crazy and if I'm gone for longer, both go off randomly :/

I'm done for the most part! I still wear them at work and I occasionally need one at night but..... At this point... Done wearing pads on my boobs!!!! I'm so glad.

[fuzzylogic]

rachaeleigh, earlier this month I had to bust them out as my supply ramped up again from nursing E so much while at home. But the last couple of weeks I haven't had to. Mostly it was the side I wasn't nursing her on would start up (usually just lefty, once in awhile righty). I had bought a huge box of them so at least I didn't let them totally go to waste?

[fuzzylogic]

samelly, didn't you know? We never really grow up in our parents' eyes I'm sorry she made you feel that way, though.

I still wear them in case. Sometimes I'll leak a little.

[rachaeleigh]

[sunfrogger88]

I still need them. I used them the entire year that I nursed my DD also.
