I'd never survive as an EP'er normally...but with evening cluster feeds and a 2.5 yr old who nurses, I'd almost kill to be an EP'er right now. I'm touched out today.
Jealous of all of your big delish dinners, I had spinach salad with turkey ham cheese and ranch. Then dd decided she liked spinach salad and ate half of it. I guess that's one way to diet...on my first glass of wine...oh how I've missed wine.
Everyone be all like I made fried rice or stuffed peppers or chicken Milanese and I'm over here like I ate a pack of crackers. Might even go eat a slice of Gouda and a peach. Booyah!

ars093s I been keeping his legs all curled up it in and he gets in the tiniest little ball. Maybe it would work better w his legs out. The instructions said that was for 2 months + but his legs are out w the Ergo and he's fine. I got a Large, maybe they'll let me exchange it. They don't need to know I've used it nonstop for 3 days...

For almost the past week afternoons have been a nightmare. It is continuing tonight. Just take your bottle and go to sleep, kid. You've been up for 8 straight hours.
ETA: tried the yoga ball trick. Guess who is currently asleep in their crib? Hoping it lasts!

Worth a try!
Arya hated having her legs tucked in, she cried the whole time. I was told at this age (she's 4 weeks), it's ok to have the legs out, just make sure they are froggied with the knees higher than the bum.
Love after an inconsolable baby and cluster feeding I was told (yelled at) that I AM doing dishes tomorrow and I can't keep make excuses for not doing things around the house. I love DH but it's not like he's doing much either. He even brought up that I got to sleep two more hours this morning while he took E. Like what? Starts telling me that he could easily give E a bottle and I'm like "I'm fucking BF-img" and he says its just an excuse. So angry atm.
astheria, they don't get it at all. It's like they want a trophy for doing one thing, they also don't realize in order for them to give a bottle you still have to be tied down to a machine. I want to throat punch MH when he says stuff like that.

that's the thing, he thinks that it's perfectly acceptable to give him formula whenever and that it doesn't matter. He doesn't understand the concept of breast is best and calls me a know it all when I try to stress it. I'm really fed up with him atm. I know he's fristrated about a lot of things but ffs I am doing the best I can.

...I lost my phone yesterday because the universe hates me. No idea what I am going to do besides be completely phoneless. On the plus side I spent some time with my best friend today,and I really needed that. We've been friends since we were in diapers. We went grocery shopping and then came back and cooked some coconut curried chicken and snow peas and drank wine. It's been so nice to unwind.

So, now that the toddler is in bed, and the baby is asleep in H's arms for once, I can actually get on the computer. Have to update my quicken and its nice to get on TCF on a real computer occasionally.
H got to leave work early today so we went out for a bit this evening...just to the Y so H could work out and I took DD to play at the indoor playground...bad idea. DS screamed or was on the boob the entire time. We had witching hour/cluster feeding while out...So not fun. Hence why I came home and sat down with wine IMMEDIATELY. Now, I need to go buy more tomorrow.
