Dude I haven't started one of these in weeks! That's crazy talk. I am headed into DC with LO and bff. Bff has never been to DC so we will do a few touristy things.
I woke up with an awful pain in my gums. I actually think it is a headache now, but that is a first time presentation. As much as I love having bff here I am so ready for a no obligation weekend.
Why hello there! I have a half day at work sothat DH can go get his car fixed. There's always something wrong with that thing. I hope they tell him it's total loss this time so he can stop experimenting to get it fixed
I had a dream that the city (which was some kind of new york type landscape) was being attacked by alien monster dinosaurs. I never have interesting dreams so this was pretty awesome.
Jake's breathing monitor went off again last night he was breathing but very shallowly again, and lying on his tummy. Pedi says the only problem is that we're using a monitor- he's just fine. But I still worry every time it goes off. Anyone else?

I am on mission pack the baby and myself for the cape. Dh got a new job and can't take any days yet so it's just us and the inlaws. It is amazing how much more crap you pack with a baby!!
LO slept from 7 to 6! This was a nice treat after the past few nights with the 4 and 6 wake ups. Also her fever went away yesterday, but she woke up with an almost dry diaper. Usually that thing is 10 lbs it's so full. She's starting to fill it now but I guess I'll keep an eye on it.
I've never really delt with fevers before but I guess this is normal that it just pops up and then goes away?
6th month appointment today, which meant LO and I got to sleep in. Good thing too, cause we were up for a while around 4 when I brought him in the big bed to work on sleeping without his merlin suit. He was thrashing around for a while and finally settled. DH left after like 10 minutes. He's goign to have to be on duty one of these nights if we try it out in the crib.
I just ate truffle goat cheese on Parmesan garlic triscuit thin crisps while guzzling a sugar free red bull. H was staring at me like wtf. I regret nothing.
Has anyone given their LO avacado yet? I want to try that out today and I have a good soft one...do I blend it? or just mush it with my fingers and give it to him on my fingers/his fingers?

I found a good ripe one at the store for DD the other day. I cut it as best I could into long smushy slices so she could try to pick it up herself. It was really messy (duh) and my mom was here freaking out she was going to choke. So it lasted all of 4 minutes before my mom had me too terrified to continue.

I think you can just mush it up with a fork and feed it to him on a spoon or your fingers

Thanks. Id expect it to get messy...so far I have a no clothes policy for eating DS grabs at the spoon a bunch and I've let him try feeding himself a few times, so that gets EVERYWHERE. We put down a dropcloth to cover the carpet, lol.

I mashed some plain avocado when I was making guac a few weeks ago. Dd didn't like so I didn't try again. Not sure how it would have gone with swallowing if she'd gotten that far.

I definitely do not mean to insult or shame any mom who is not breastfeeding, but I don't see why celebrating breastfeeding, which is hard, and which is still not socially acceptable in public spaces, should not be allowed because it celebrating it is offensive to moms who are using formula. Why does acknowledging one automatically detract from the other?
Moms who are using formula, have you felt offended by World Breastfeeding Week?
I'm with all the tired ladies. I'm really scared to start school next week with this going on for so long. The bottom teeth have jagged edges poking out and they won't pop all the way through. He woke up screaming and pulling at his mouth and even me holding him wouldn't stop the sobs. Add that to a new found ability to roll and we've been up A LOT. I finally brought him into our bed after the 5 am sobs just so I could physically lay down with him and my sweet boy fell asleep. I just watched him and then we he woke up I let him crawl on my husband to wake him up too. We laughed in bed and snuggled together. It really hit me how wonderful it is to have a family. After our previous losses I never dreamed we would have a moment like that.

We use formula and I am not offended whatsoever by world breastfeeding week. IMO, that is silly to be offended! I wanted more than anything to breastfeed and we gave it our all, but it just didn't work out and that's ok. Just because it didn't work out for me doesn't mean I can't celebrate it for others - who cares! The week isn't meant to shame those who don't or can't.
Thanks for the T&Ps everyone! WittyLittle nephew is just shy of 2 years old so he's not nervous about the scope, other than what he's picking up from the rest of us.
aggiebug hope you have a great time & your headache eases! emilyz320 packing for a baby is surprisingly hard! Have fun :-) mishka29 yay for no fever but boo that everything isn't normal. Did you call your doc just to chat about what's been going on? badw0lf hugs! AppropriateChocolate sorry for the rough night missys your poor little!! I'm glad you had such a nice moment this morning. Made me tear up

Moms who are using formula, have you felt offended by World Breastfeeding Week?
I definitely am not offended by world breastfeeding week but I felt inadequate that I am formula feeding because of my own insecurities. I am so proud and jealous of all of you who are BFing and none of you have made me feel bad at all, in fact you all are so supportive! However, I still have feelings that I'm not doing what's best for my baby but that is my own issue and pressure I feel.

This is exactly how I feel. It's hard not to be jealous. You are doing what's best for your baby though. I just tell myself it is what it is and we will try again with the next baby. Internet hugs!
