My doc said one drink is fine without pump and dump. I can't wait for my first PP margarita! !

We're going to Pitsburgh in October for MILs birthday party.

So.. More than 1 drink should be dumped, right? And then you wait the same amount of time you would to drive (like 1 hr per drink) to nurse?

Eta: I bought margarita supplies like 3 weeks pp and have been having a couple every week. So refreshing!

The general consensus now is that if you are okay to drive, you are okay to nurse. 

Thanks for for all the birthday wishes. Things were going well until halfway through post lunch cake happenings when DH discovered our cat had worms. The dog's crate had dead fleas and when I gave her a flea bath there weren't any on her, dead or alive. Our weather has been a perfect storm for fleas and ticks. We're picking up a prescription for the cat tomorrow and doing a super clean on our house.

I helped a pregnant lady in babies r us with boppys. I'm a seasoned vet now!

FYI there is a pickle festival happening in Pittsburgh today. "Picklesburg" lol. I'm not going but everyone else I know is!

I saw pictures of how packed the bridge was and was like NEWP.

A lot of my friends said it was a bust. The Saurkraut brownies looked amazing on the news this morning though! I forgot about Picklesburgh until I was watching the news.

Today we were lazy basically all day. DD finally decided to nap for three hours after no day time naps longer than ten minutes for the last three days. You better believe that I napped too. It was marvelous.

Tomorrow we're checking out a church that we were invited to. Hopefully we'll knock out a more unpacking too.

We're getting my airbag fixed (that was a fun notice to get - airbag recall notice), and hanging out as a family. We are a wild bunch!

I know what you mean: I got a notice too, but it said they won't repair it til some time in 2016!? Great, I'll be driving it until then freaking out that it might need to go off. Not ideal.

2016?! That's insane - are there other dealerships to go to? There was a number to call on my card if I wasn't able to get it fixed ASAP.

Unfortunately it's being handled through the car company not individual dealerships so I have to wait for a further notification of who will fix it, and when. Not sure if it's relevant that I'm in Australia, probably not because it's a global issue.
I get that it's a huge scale recall but six months plus is pretty unacceptable when it comes to a safety issue like this. Fortunately it's our second car and we only drive it to the train station and home pretty much.

@jemomma that's the worst! We have friends who are like that with their 3 yr old and it's so stressful/unpleasant to hang out with them when their son is around. Consequences are CRUCIAL!

Today we visited with the ILs and BIL/SIL (the good ones, not the crazy ones). Then we took LO to my cousin's for a grad party for her triplets. Now we're exhausted!!! Tomorrow we're just going to relax, maybe go to the pool. Lots of nothing...yay!

Well the weekend is half over but what the hell!

Yesterday my SIL and I picked up her daughter and my FIL who flew in from CA. SIL has been here a week already and has been super helpful. FIL is nice enough but he's a little needy so I always feel like I have to entertain. Did I mention my DH is out of town for work till tomorrow? Today the girls all went to home goods and then came home. My outings feel so short and rushed these days.

Tomorrow I pick up DH from the airport and hopefully survive this week with 6 of us in this house. Not my ideal way to spend one of my last weeks off

Girls night was a success! We went to dinner while DH watched DB, then drinks at my place.

DH discovered that DB can cry himself to sleep in less than 4 minutes, which is the time it took him to warm up a bottle tonight. So he tried it again when DB woke up, and sure enough he was able to cry himself to sleep in just a few minutes.

Soooo we will see, because every day is different, but it would be amazing if that became a thing, because it's so exhausting bouncing DB for an hour (or more) some nights!

@jemomma, oh my goodness! I can't even imagine dealing with all that right now. I'm surprised you haven't snapped on her.

[mcp6286]

@jemomma what is wrong with people? Forget the fact that your kid drives everyone else crazy...why on earth would you want to live with that every day when there's an easy enough way to avoid it? I mean sure it takes effort and energy to implement and enforce rules at first but it's a worthwhile investment so that the next 15 years of your life aren't miserable! I hope they're leaving soon and you can have a nice big glass of wine!

ETA: if any of my SILs left me to deal with their kids while they slept, I'd be dealing out consequences for bad behavior left and right. If you don't want me disciplining your kid, get your lazy butt out of bed and wrangle him yourself!

mcp6286 she actually tells him that my H and I will discipline him if he misbehaves - like she says "oh don't do that or aunt Jess is going to spank you" while she is sitting right there and perfectly capable of enforcing rules herself! Don't put your child's behavior in my hands! And do not tell him I will spank him! I would never spank another person's child, even if they are family! Get off your ass and enforce the rules yourself! So infuriating!!!

OMG! What a terrible position to put you in! Sounds like somebody just doesn't want to be the bad guy...

And who spanks someone else's kid? I can see time out, loss of privileges, etc. But spanking? Def mom's job!

She did it twice and the second was an exceptional explosion!
