How long are you going to be gone during that time? At that age, I would think that she would be okay with a normal "meal". You could nurse her before you left and upon your return (even with a 5-6 hour gap). I think you would be bringing along more hassle than anything if you do plan to bring bags and the pump.
Interesting thought - hadn't considered it. LO still eats every 2-3 hours, so it's mind boggling that in 2 months that could not be the case.
It seems cruel (both to LO and my cousin) to leave her starving, but I guess I'll play it by ear as it gets closer. Still would like bottle cooler recommendations.
She can definitely eat further apart. I'd start working on it now, though, so you've got 2 months for her to be used to meals slightly further apart.
Look what DH sent me! I'm so excited and thankful! I just hope they were sent because he loves me so much and not because he wants something haha
I got chocolate strawberries so DH could be a crab ass all evening....I'm currently eating strawberries and drinking wine. Oh and I'm totally not sharing...

Why is he being a crab ass? Just enjoy your wine and strawberries. Having wine and a peanut butter/jelly sandwich over here. I'm fancy. Yours is way better.

Work...he has to travel tomorrow to the other side of the state and has to leave the house at 6am. It was a spur of the minute trip and he is HORRIBLE with last minute changes. Blah blah blah...stop being a crab ass... it's really not that big of deal. It's a 3hr drive..it's not supposed to snow...get over it.
yay. Both babies are asleep. They were so fussy today. It is so hard when they both want to be cuddled and held and I'm the only one home.
N has to get ear tubes at the end of the month. I probably should have requested a consult for J also. Ds1 had them twice, with the first set at 10 months. My kids have bad ears. Poor N, this will be his second surgery at not even a year old. At least this is a quick and easy one and I know what to expect.

What makes the jellycat lovie better than others?
It is really hard when they're like that. I'm glad they went to sleep for you. I hope the surgery goes well, poor kiddo! I'm sure it helps knowing what to expect though.
DD has apparently figured out how to sit up in her crib. So tonight, everytime I put her in her crib, she just sits up instead of rolling over and sleeping. I've only had about 2 hours of sleep so far. And CIO isn't working because she just sits up and then tries to stand, and we don't have our mattress down on the bottom level since this just is now happening tonight. FML

That sucks. Hopefully all the crying she will eventually get tired. At least I think that's how it's supposed to work

This happened to us when he learned to sit. So we lowered the mattress and then he learned to stand. So now often he will stand holding onto the side and scream if he doesn't want to sleep. Good luck. Hopefully she will settle and you get some sleep.

So apparently my DD is in the routine of having one decent night of sleep and then one crappy night of sleep. Last night was one of the crappy ones. And today, I need an IV drip with caffeine.
Had words with DH about him being loudy-loud n a morning and he stopped banging drawers and doors. Unfortunately he did not stop talking loudly and answering people loudly from across the house. Oh and he also left our bedroom door open so my lie in (he got up with baby today) was non-existent and I was still awake by 7am.
On the bright side, he's taken DD1 to school and DD2 to run errands with him so I get a bit of peace to shower and fold laundry.
quinncat, Poor LO needing surgery so little - hoping it goes fine and for a quick recovery.
Couldn't fall asleep last night. LO slept for 5 hours in a row from 8:30-1:30, but I was still laying awake when he got up. Whyyyyy?! I just want to sleep. Hoping all the babies and mommas can get some sleep tonight. Going to drink all the coffees.

So does he eventually lay himself down and go to sleep? Or what are you supposed to do when they get to that stage?
DH is really unhappy with work and it carries over into our life. I really don't know what to do for him and us. He isn't willing to talk to anyone (that "takes time which he doesn't have") but I'm not sure how much longer we can go on like this (I don't mean us splitting or anything, just the stress and unhappiness around us). Also, the anniversary of his father's death is coming up so that doesn't help.
quinncat -- I hope everything is super smooth for you and your LO! I'd be a little nervous about that too, but I'm sure your baby will be so much happier after the fact!
jnnfrrose6, I'm sorry your DH is having a rough time. It's challenging for us too when DH is having a hard time at work (not feeling valuable/appreciated/useful) because it's a big part of his identity. I hope he will open up and be flexible about looking for new solutions WITH you!
DS slept 13 hours last night. He woke up for a moment to ask for milk because he was thirsty. I held him in the shower with me this morning and he was in the best mood after that. Thank Jesus!
I texted ex about him being sick and that led to him telling me that he (ex) has BP numbers that are ER levels and that if he doesn't get it under control by tomorrow then he will be admitted to the ER. His dad passed away at 56 with heart failure. I guess he is freaking out over it. That still doesn't mean you get to bypass all of your financial obligations to your kids.
I can't handle close talkers this early in the morning. I don't normally have a personal space issue. But holy f dude when I step back that doesn't mean for you to move closer. Step the hell back!
I also sent my lawyer an angry email (again) yesterday. No response.
I'm so sorry your attorney is being a dbag. People like him give attorneys a bad rep. We have a couple of clients who we don't call back immediately, but they are only the ones who call on a weekly basis for the status of their case when we have already explained a million times that the litigation process is slow and drawn out. We had one client terminate us saying that we didn't return phone calls or keep him updated on his case. Thank goodness we keep records of everything and the file was full of correspondence to him.
Peace and quiet was short-lived. DD threw up all down herself and her carseat so DH is coming home. This means I get to deal with vomit-y baby in the bath and vomit-y laundry because DH with just prat abut like a tart in a trance until I get mad and take over.
