Impressive how early you started spam, lilyelayne. I hope you feel better.
I am sitting here enjoying a cup of coffee at my kitchen table alone. Ahhh. I do enjoy this time but it is a little sad too. Ever since Dh and I moved in together 4 years ago, he has gotten up with me and made breakfast/coffee. But now with his new job, he has been working some later shifts and needs the sleep in the am. I don't see him at night, he's been getting home around midnight, I don't want to wake up him so I don't try to cuddle when my alarm goes off like we usually do, and then I'm solo in the am while he sleeps. I miss my hubby.

I can't believe I am up for the first posts of today's spam. DS has been up practically all night, I hope he is at least getting some teeth out of these all nighters. Work is going to suck tomorrow but, at least I am only working a half day.
I finally have my doctors appointment today. Hopefully, they don't feel the need that I don't need to be referred to a PPA therapist.
lilyelayne ugh, that stinks that you are having to deal with asthma. People get it pretty bad here it in the valley.
emilyz320 scheduling differences are no fun with the hubby. Hopefully, the both of you can find some way to have some alone time during the week.
Today I am taking the doggies to the clinic for their dental cleanings. Thankfully my old boss is letting me take care of my own dogs. So a don't have to pay another Dr to do it.

Dang... Somehow I was able to get DS into his crib and he stayed asleep. I'm going to try and get some zzzzs right now. I'm sure he will be up in the next 30 minutes.
Mattress pad theoretically good, but had an hour and a half clusterfuck of problems (2 diaper changes, bedding change, chew toy nursing, etc.). Have a blood draw at 10, so no coffee until afterwards.
@lilyelaine - hope your asthma gets better quickly on the prednisone.
emilyz320 - that sucks about conflicting schedules. My H and I often are in this boat (I work evening and he works days). There's always the weekend ... (not much consolation, I know).
mommadozer - good luck at your appt today. Glad your S went to sleep. Fingers crossed that it sticks.
The babysitter is coming over today for 3hrs so I can mow the lawn and put together and organize shelving in the garage. I have never been so excited to organize. The garage is mayhem.
Oh and we went for a walk yesterday evening and I got a bunch of mosquito bites but I thought DD was fine. Nope! She has red splotches all over her face and neck. Mom fail. Thankfully she doesn't seem bothered by them at all. What a trooper.

DD did 6-6 again last night I can't complain about anything...H is out getting me our customary Thursday breakfast burrito.
We are leaving DD for the first time overnight this weekend. My parents are coming over to watch her. I got lots and lots to do to prepare everyone and everything. I think I'm going to put my etsy shop on vacation until Monday. I can't keep up!
I don't know if anyone remembers....but I was stressed earlier this summer that our car needed to be inspected and I hated driving around with expired stickers. Well, we both finally realized the truck has been e pored SINCE JUNE. We are road tripping in it this weekend so I'll be doing that this morning too.

Heyo!!! Moved back to good ol pampers swaddlers and sized up to three, dry baby!
Getting so sick of home renovations for reasons I wouldn't have even though of, like not having a large sink with lots of water pressure to wash DSs bottles. I think mostly I'm just so anxious to see the finished product and feel like we've spent our life savings correctly
My teacher friend across the hall with a 15 month old just came in after being absent yesterday and said her boy has hand,foot,mouth AND a staph infection. If you need me I'll be holed up in my room, sanitizing all the things.

Laying here on the couch watching MMCH while S crawls around in the floor. Nothing much going on here today. Three loads of laundry to put away and a Drs appointment this afternoon. I'm debating on if I should take the stroller for my appointment or if I can just wear S instead.

Little Man's low grade fever dropped from 99.3 to 98.3 last night (his core temp tends to be 97.9), so I thought we were out of the woods. Nope, this morning it was 101. Since I took off Tuesday to deal with the a/c repairman, husbandman took off today and is taking DS to the doctor. My poor baby Other kids in his daycare class have had this and it seems to be a 24-hour thing. Last night he skipped his 6 p.m. feeding and was so fussy. FX when I get home I have my happy, healthy baby back.
Nothing much going on here today. Going to our second infant massage class at our local center. LO has no interest in this at all but it's something to do.
My sister is visiting later today, that will be...okay I guess.

Thanks, y'all. Prednisone is good stuff if you don't have to take it chronically, which I don't.
emilyz320 alone time is nice but not having any just you & H time is so hard. Hope y'all find ways to connect. mommadozer good luck at your appointment. johanna DS has gotten a few mosquito bites over the summer. Thankfully he's not bothered. Our pedi says any bug spray labeled "family" or "kids" is safe for baby, just make sure to wash off when you're done outside. mrsclark731 I always want to be at your house for breakfast. Hope your errands & travel prep go smoothly! danitaec I could find a "I feel happy" or "I'm not dead yet" gif I like so I settled for the above hollydfromtn I'd wear LO. Doctor's offices don't tend to be that roomy. michelle142 how tragic. T&Ps their way. kaydee0402 hope your little feels better soon! mishka29 simmer down about your sister, Ms Excitement haha

Morning ladies...
DD woke up at 4:30 this morning. I had no fight in me.. I promptly picked her up and brought her to bed with us. We all went right back to sleep... a little too well. I didn't get up in time to get DD going and got to work an hour late. Oops.. I'll make up the time at some point.
We are a week past 7 months and I think we hit a growth spurt or something because the last 3 nights she needs an extra bottle before bed. And of course it is right when I am weaning off the pump.. I took extra frozen out but yesterday was cutting it close.

mumomma13 wahoo!! That's awesome! cloe111479 I've been meaning to ask if you felt better after how you were doing Sunday/Monday but I kept forgetting. Hopefully your stash will still get you close enough to 1 year you can supplement with WCM if absolutely necessary.
1 I still have that skillz 2 Titus monster (my bug guy and my old man) will never be undergoing anesthesia again if I can help it. 3 they are looking to hire someone part time twice a week in the evenings and it sounds so appealing.
aggiebug that sounds like a nice gig, are you going to apply for it?
Yesterday we were visiting with my MIL and V randomly took a 3 HOUR NAP. Oh course, since we were not at home, there was no napping for me or chores getting done or even fun with MH. There was just chatting.
Today I'm at work. I made my boss find me another place to pump this morning. I'm sure it made him uncomfortable, but I don't care, that's for not giving me any heads up.
kartish it's a possibility but really just a thought at this point. If we lived closer to family and could rely on them for child care then yeah I would get serious about doing it, but I would have to find childcare probably a part time nanny that would be OK until likely 8pm which would include bedtime. And then there is my licenses and continuing education to factor in.

I am much better. I really think I was overtired and that lead to the migraine/exhausted feeling. I really needed the day off to sleep and just be lazy.
Me too -- I think we can get there. If not, I know formula or Cow's milk is good too. She's loving all solids so I don't think we will have any real problem with new stuff for her.
cloe111479, tell me your plan for weaning off the pump. I'm going to start in November, but would like to hear how someone else is doing it.
So, at the end of August i was at 5 ppd. 6 am, 10:30 am, 2/3 pm, 6/7 pm, and 10 pm. (also the times are during the week days -- weekends were more like 4 for the most part and the times were WAY different)
The first week of Sept (7-12)-- i took out the 6/7 pm one.
This past week (14- today) -- i have been only pumping one time at work. So, 6 am, noon, then bed time -- 9/10 pm) My supply has been pretty much the same -- about a bottle full on each side for each pump, with the exception of my sick sunday/monday -- which was horrible.
My plan is next week to try and not pump at all at work. I plan on bringing it with me at least Monday, and Tuesday, and going without. Then if i can't i can still break it out to get a little relief.
Once I get to the two a day, I am not 100% sure what i will do. If I still get a decent amount of milk each time, I may stay at 2 a day for a little bit, but if i am totally over it.. I plan to sort of slowly cut the time i pump. Instead of 20 mins, do it for 18, then 15, then 10.. til there is no more. I haven't worked that part out quite yet.
