Happy Mother's Day friends! Thank you for being such an awesome group of ladies.
osumegs I wouldn't have believed the suits worked unless I lived it. Hard to believe a footless sleeper and all that padding can make that much of a difference!

Happy Mother's Day! I also want to thank you all for being a part of my journey.
DH brought DS to me at 7:30 to nurse and we fell back asleep until 10:30. Then DH took him after that feeding so I could take a shower. We went to brunch and DS got super cranky. He didn't want to nurse or be held, etc. DH took him outside to walk him around in the stroller while I sat there enjoying my mimosa and pancakes.

While we were at brunch I did nurse DS for a little bit and the waitress came up and said, "nurse on, momma". It felt awesome!
Now if only I felt better about NIP without the cover. DS is really starting to hate it, but I'm not quite comfortable yet, even with the 2 shirt trick. He can still sometimes take a while to latch on and will do a surprise pop off too much. I need to get over myself.

It helped me a lot when I realized I could just cover my nipple/boob with my hand if DS isn't ready to latch. Seems a little silly or obvious but I had to read someone's suggestion on here or the BF board or something before it clicked with me. Neither DS nor I ever figured out a cover that worked for us.

We made it through the visit at my mom's house. Now I have a very cranky baby who has cried for the last hour. I finally have him calmed down and nursing. All the while, DH has been taking a nap. WTF, dude!? It's my day! Get your ass up and help! I'm a little frustrated right now.

DD was awesome at her first baseball game. She did get ever so slightly burned though and I feel awful. I am really surprised I tried so hard to keep her covered and we were actually in the shade a majority of the time.
Funny story of the day. After the tornados, one of the horses was in a different pasture than he started out in. And it still had fences up.
Crazier things have happened with tornadoes. You hear stories all the time of things being moved or thrown but unhurt. Tornadoes are fascinating as well as scary.

SIL came over and watched Gabe so DH and I could go see Avengers. She said he did great & was only fussy for the last 30 minutes. I nursed him right before we left and as soon as we got back. The movie theater is two minutes from home

Yep. I've heard all sorts of stories of purses staying on counters when the whole house is gone. And while grand pianos being miles away unscathed.

I just facetimed with my MIL. I feel sorry for her because she lives 12 hours away and doesn't get to see Brady. He is her first biological grandchild (she is great with my two older kids). I could tell she was sad that she couldn't be here with him. She has only been able to see him during her trip down here at the end of March. She won't see him again until the end of July. She is a great MIL, so it makes me sad that she isn't able to see him more often.
Sorry to be a downer. I'm a little sentimental on Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day everyone! We had a great day over here. My LO slept for a 7 hour stretch last night - 8 pm to 3 am! That's his longest ever
My H made me French toast and bacon for breakfast. We spent the afternoon at my in-laws, where baby took a 2 hour nap so I could relax, then headed over to my family for dessert. Baby was so good the whole time.

Happy Mothers Day ladies!
DH stepped up to the plate & did something for me. It was nice. He had a necklace made for me that has both kids names on it with their birthstone (who knew men could do Etsy!), got me the little boy charm for my Tiffanys bracelet, and got a pretty frame & put a pic of me & the kids in it. Delicious brunch accompanied with balloons & flowers. I guess me made up for the no show on my birthday..... We've spent the rest of the day as a family, it's been really nice!
I guess little man had decided he wants to spend more time with mama tonight for mother's day. He took a nap at 8:30 instead of going down for the night. I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to get him to go back to sleep. Nada. Looks like a late night for me! Yay :/
