Good luck jemomma! Maybe you can take a long walk and explore the new neighborhood?
I feel like staying in bed all day. I realized I only have three weeks off left! I want to get so much done but also rest as much as possible.
Isn't it crazy how fast time is going?! Today is my halfway mark - I have 5 weeks left. I can't believe O is 5 weeks old. It doesn't even seem possible.
GL @jemomma! I did a couple days with both boys last week but am a bit nervous again today. Supposed to hit 90+ so I have to be smart about what we do and when today, but I don't want to be cooped up inside the whole time.

We're getting hit with huge storms today so my plans of getting out of the house are a no go. Fortunately DD is a good sleeper and didn't even flinch when the loud ass thunder boomed this morning at 6AM! I see lots of couch/cuddle time in our future today:)
Finally getting to a point where activity doesn't make me hurt for an entire day. I really want to get out for a walk soon, before it starts raining, but I have a spider monkey sleeping on me. Otherwise my only goal for the day is a (sponge) bath bc my kid smells like pee. I am chickening out on the real bath once again! For those who read my sister visit plight... She still hasn't offered any help today and I still can't find the TV remote!
Does anyone else who is nursing feel like there are days where you don't even get a chance to put a shirt on? Whenever I answer the door I have to do a quick mental check to see if I'm wearing a shirt or not.
I feel like this happens a lot. I could just pull up my shirt when I nurse, but just losing it all together is much easier.
Good luck, @jemomma! I've been on my own with both kids since we came home but you have one kid more than I do!
DD has her one month growth appointment today. I can't wait to see how much she's grown because she's been wearing 0-3 stuff for the past few days and I can tell a difference in her size. Hopefully both kids cooperate. I get nervous when I have to take them places by myself. Usually its fine, but it still makes me nervous...
tiffbot My appointment is Friday, which is only 5 weeks, but my Dr won't be in the office for the next two weeks. It still blows my mind that we're already at this point! I just had her yesterday, damn it!
H went back to work today so it is my first real day with all 3 kids by myself...if you don't hear from me again its because they have taken over and I am tied up in the basement.
We are also in our new house without cable or internet and half of our things still in boxes. Not sure how I am going to make it today. Is it bedtime yet???
You can do it! Just make sure you have the wine chilled for later
I have to take DS1 to the doctor today. The palm of his hands are peeling off in layers and becoming raw. Just the palms, the rest of his skin is smooth as a baby's bottom. Yesterday he was eating chips and the salt from the chips was hurting them and one finger even started to bleed. We've been putting lotion and aquafor on them religiously since then and they have improved, but I'm still taking him to see the doc. Of course the only available appointment they have is during nap time

Pediatrician was able to see us right away to have to baby looked at for thrush so I ran out of the house without a pad. Hoping there is no/minimal bleeding. Got to my OB and I have thrush so hopefully we can get this resolved quickly. Hope everyone is having a good day!$
I have a stomach ache today and LO is nursing constantly again today. H is here but he's working so I'm trying to not interrupt him but man I'm cramping.

I am so jealous of my cousin/nanny today. The older kids are at a camp this week so she just has LO all day today. I thought about just working from home all this week instead of the two days I normally do and getting all the baby snuggles all week, but we all know I would not get a damn thing done so I marched my sorry ass into the office today. Boo for being a responsible adult!

If Im home, Im in a nursing bra all day every day, usually with a boob out (either in babys mouth or air drying or I just forgot about it lol) and if Im going somewhere Im in a nursing tank. So basically my life now is nursing bra or nursing tank. If the tank has a stain or Im going somewhere where I actually care I might throw some kind of top over it, but yea. I look like a person whos slept for 4 hours and nursed for 12, I look like what I am haha..
I'm in the rainy part of the country so it's not so bad. I'm also in shock of how quickly time has been moving this maternity leave compared to my first. I'm not going back to work until after Labor Day but the halfway point is almost here. So many projects I haven't even started like baby books (catch up plus start one for LO).
@jemomma I'm at home with my 3 too! And DH's boss has asked if he can work 50 hr weeks instead of 40 until end of August. Luckily it isn't mandatory, and it's more of a "work extra when you can" thing, so he's staying late a couple extra days this week.
Last night at bedtime my older two came into my room while I'm feeding LO, and say cheerfully, "Mommy, there's a bat in our room!" Um, say again?
Dh was able to catch it in a Tupperware (kids got to see it up close) and release it outside, but I'm stressing about how in the hell it got in our house...

I had big plans today. Sort the kitchen and pantry, and unpack from our weekend away. LO is in the part of the growth spurt were he's either crying, eating, or sleeping in my arms because heaven forbid I out him down. I'm also supposed to meet up with someone at 2. So far all I've done today is burned my oatmeal.

bruunk, Isn't it insane how difficult it is to get anything done? Today I ate cereal while nursing and dripped milk all over DB's wrap. Meanwhile milk from my breasts is dripping down my tank top as he chugs away. Then we both took a 3-hour nap. And that's my day so far!

Yes!! I'm giving up on the organization chore in favor of getting out of the house. LO is sleeping and isn't in my arms so I'm debating a shower - of course I can feel my milk letting down so I'm pretty sure he'll wake up any minute now

I'd wear milk all day if that meant I got a 3 hour nap!
