I'm so mad right now. I spent yesterday afternoon working on a project and then at the end of the day I decided not to save it. No worries bc when I got into work this morning it was still open. But then I accidently closed out of it without saving while on a call. So now I have been spending another afternoon redoing it
So my DS had to be in the hospital last week dt a respiratory illness. He was acting fine but had to have just a little oxygen to keep his O2 stat up. He was there for 5 days and during that time I only gave him pumped bottles because it was easier and I wanted to make sure he was staying hydrated. He's not much of a comfort nurser anyway. Well we came home last Friday and he refused to breastfeed. All week the only thing I could do was trick him into latching and eating while he was asleep (and give him bottles the rest of the time. I was irrationally devastated. Had more than one meltdown this week. I didn't even think I really liked breastfeeding that much until I was faced with the possibility he would never do it again. Well today out of nowhere he started back up again. I am soooooo happy/relieved!! I really thought it was a lost cause. Just wanted to share with everyone because I feel like a huge weight has been lifted

Ps. I have a whole new respect for EPers!!
That is so great! I get what you are saying because at first I hated bf and now I'm sad at the thought of stopping one day. So happy you weren't forced into stopping sooner than you wanted. And, I hope LO is feeling better! Sounds like a stressful two weeks!

I feel like I am up super late...it's 940. All I can think about other than the care of LO is when am I getting in bed. I go to bed before 8 some nights.

Random ? - Do you think its ok to wear a gap long sleeve crewneck shirt with dress pants to work(a medical office)? I have been and no one has said anything to me. I just want to have clothes I can put on without thinking much about what I am wearing.

Today we had our neighbors over for drinks and they have a couple LOs. The 4yo says randomly "Can I offer you a massage?"
What!? We all lol'd because this kid is the age where he totally just says random stuff that he heard on TV. Last time, when we went over to their house and were headed home he said "Goodbye, my love!" to me.
Oh no! Finding good babysitters is hard. Sorry. Is she just done after today or is she still watching her next week?
I haven't been happy with her anyway. She was my cousin's gf and they just broke up and she wants to "distance herself from the family". She said she'd give us time, but I'm just going to tell her forget it. Her head's been up her ass so I'm afraid she won't pay attention to Delaney.
I'm sorry, chickadee! Can your babysitter from the other days chip in?

FUCK!!!!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK I just got home and FI said our Thursday/Friday sitter quit today. WTF am I supposed to do?!?!
I'm sorry. That happened to us last year with DD1's nanny on like three days notice. It's so stressful! I hope you can find someone you're happier with!

Yes. You could always were a scarf if you wanted to "dress it up".

Just got back from girls night. It was so nice to be out with my girl friends. LO still isn't taking a bottle and hubs was a drama queen but she went down for him fine and I enjoyed my night. 50 shades of gray was hilarious and not half bad.
Can I just AW for a minute? I know there were some craft brew fans here who will appreciate this.
We tried to go to Russian River Brewing yesterday so H could try Pliny the younger, this seasonal, limited release beer. Apparently it's like the Hope Diamond of beers. There is always a line around the block the entire two weeks it's out. Anyway we went with the intention of having to wait and I would walk around downtown with LO trying to entertain her. However, the line was a 5 hour wait from that point (we went expecting about 3 hours) and I said there was no way LO could hang that long, so basically we drove two hours for nothing. H was sad, but he knew that was a lot to ask of a 5.5 month old and he was a really good sport about it. He was able to go and get a growler of a different beer though and matching t shirts for he and LO. His says Pliny the Elder (a beer they make) and LO's says Tiny Pliny. They looked so cute, so I couldn't help but post a picture on Instagram and put I added #plinytheyounger. So today, I got a follow request from a local restaurant. I thought that was super weird, but noticed their last picture was of a keg of Pliny. Select restaurants get one keg and they host tastings, and this restaurant was one that got a keg. They saw my pic via the hash tag and she sent me a DM and said to email her. Basically she guaranteed us tickets to go to this tasting! They are doing two tastings for a total of 100 people. I feel like freaking wife of the year!
Now to figure out what to do with LO who won't take a bottle and has never been put to bed by anyone other than me! Eta: the cute pic of LO and H. I'll make an exception of posting pics since it's kinda part of the story. Ignore the dumb look on his face. I gave him a complex about his smile looking dumb.

The mood at my office has been awful lately, and with good cause. Last week on Thursday we had lay offs. I had to let one of my guys go. There were only five of us so it was a really tough decision. I still feel shitty about it.
Then this Wednesday we found out one of our colleagues dropped dead Tuesday night. Just out of the blue. He was in his mid-50s but seemed healthy, you know? He was the nicest guy. We didn't work together but his work station was on my way into the building and he always said good morning to me. When I was pregnant he always asked how I was doing. He was glad I came back to work and loved to hear about how my son was doing. (This could be creepy in some cases but not in this case, he was very genuine and down to earth). I'm just sad and I feel sort of weird about it because it isn't like we were great friends? But he brought a smile to my face in the mornings and I think I did the same for him, and now he's gone.
I never deal well with death. It just makes me paranoid that someone I'm really close to will die soon, like my boyfriend or one of my parents.
