I'm just over here pumping and crying because I left out SIXTEEN ounces last night. I caught it at 5 hours so I put it back in the fridge to do a smell test with later, but I'm so freaking pissed at myself.

I'm not catholic, I'm not even Christian, but I am so jealous of everyone in DC and Philly having the chance to see Pope Francsis. I think he is awesome. I've considered taking LO to Catholic Church with my grandparents soley because of him.

You are probably fine. My LC told me 4-6 hrs out is okay.

He is an awesome guy and it is a blessing to have him in town, but those crowds... Even with this nearly perfect weather... Nope

I'm so tired of M waking up for a 2nd MOTN feed between 4-5 when he clearly isn't hungry until 630-7. And those extra two hours would make such a huge difference since I'll be getting up at 6 for work starting next Wednesday.
Add me to the list. I didn't mind being fat so much when I was doing nothing about it, but 2 weeks of strict dieting plus exercising, and the scale has still not budged so I'm all ragey.
My niece just readded me to FB (she deleted me when I didn't have time for her...after I had a baby...) and I almost wish she didn't. She just had a baby a week ago and her posts are either omg best thing ever memes or whyyyyy is my baby crying? ones. He's crying because, oh, I don't know, he's a newborn? She seems obsessed with the idea he's sick - she wants to change his formula and last night she was all I used the bulb and put him in his swing in the bathroom with the shower running!
Oh, if anyone wants pottery barn kids Christmas stockings, they're 20% off with free shipping. I wanted personalized stockings and a part of me can't believe what I paid for them but they're cute! I just got snowflakes on ours.
+1 lol I am probably the only person on the planet who gains weight after giving birth....
1 of 2. I do think my thyroid meds need to be adjusted again and that's part of the problem, but so are cookies and ice cream.
Ugh, I know I need to make an appointment to get my levels checked but it's just such a hassle. Not to mention I hate my endocrinologist so I'm not exactly jumping at the bit to go see him. I'm almost out of my current prescription though so I think I'll make an appointment today:(

When he wakes up at 4 are you feeding him? Maybe try giving him a paci (if he takes one) and see if he'll fall back asleep without needing to eat. Could be that he just needs some help from mom to connect that last bit of sleep with his other stretch:) I hope you get those extra hours- going back to work is already hard enough!!

Girl, it's mostly likely fine. What temp is your house? I go up to 8 hours at room temp in our house that's anywhere from 72-75 degrees. LO never seems to notice. I don't do it regularly but definitely a few times when she slept longer than I expected overnight.
It was probably about 73, we just turned out air off because it gets cool at night. I'm glad that I put it back in the fridge instead of tossing it! Thanks for your help:)

We're going up to my mom's house tonight for the holiday. She has one guest room downstairs, and one upstairs. LBB doesn't want to sleep on a different floor, so DH will sleep with him and I'll sleep with BH. I'm pretty excited about having a bed all to myself!

I am Jewish and I would love the opportunity to meet the man. He really is an awesome man!
Will be running into the city this morning to meet my good friend's one week old baby! So exciting! It's her first.
I should get up and get ready while my H is still here helping get DS ready for the day, but DD is currently snoozing beside me and just looking super cute. Sometimes these moments alone are needed too.
We had a frost advisory last night. Here comes fall.
I need a haircut. As I've been saying for like 3 months.
I should probably stop laughing at LO when she rolls over and gets mad at herself for being on her belly (which she hates). What's funny is she keeps doing it; I'll roll her over and she's immediately back on her belly and mad.
Lol! But in all seriousness, +1... I stopped loosing weight at like 1 month PP... It's not coming off as easily as it did with DS1, and I've never been so heavy in my life. Everyone kept telling me it was my diet, so I changed it and still no change. Granted I'm not exercising, but I just cannot find the time for it right now. Sigh... Jiggle jiggle jiggle...
DH had a job interview this morning...and as much as I'm happy he has gotten to spend the past 6 weeks at home with DD...its time to get back to work. I would really like to stop stressing over how we are going to be paying the bills every month!

This is me too, I actually only gained 8 pounds during my pregnancy and then with the drugs to try breastfeeding I couldn't eat anything and was throwing up constantly so about two weeks pp I was down way below what I was before getting pregnant but since then it's crept back up...
They say diet is 80-90% of weight loss so just keep at it!

I know exactly why I'm gaining weight: I'm home all day so I can eat whenever and I'm a huge emotional/boredom eater. Must keep my hands busy at all times and lock the pantry....
They are so easy to make. Just take your favorite oatmeal recipe, and add about a cup of ground flax seed. That's it, You don't need anything else! You can add a little Brewers yeast if you want but it's not necessary. You can also make them as bar cookies, which is even easier. Just put in 9x13 pan and bake 25-35 minutes.

Good to know! I'm going to try it because that cookie was expensive and disgusting:(
ETA- and a follow up question....where does one get ground flax seed??

They probably have it in the flour alternative section or if your store has a bulk section.
