+500 Everyone told us that we would not like our dog once we had a baby and I thought they just didn't know us but it's so true. I'm pretty bad about giving her QT nowadays.

It's 1:30 in the afternoon and I'm having a schlafy pumpkin ale (maybe 2). Liam did fine with his sitter, and I managed not to fall apart (I was a little pissed that the appointment I had this afternoon, and commuted 2 hours for, could have just been done over the phone. I get to go back again next week too.)
But it was nice to get out of the house, not having to worry about taking care of Liam for a little while. I even stopped to enjoy a nice lunch (ok, I wolfed it down in a parking lot, but baby steps.)
Plus, dad gets to do his dad thing tonight! Maybe I can even go for a bike ride...

Glad he did well with the sitter! Sometimes it can be stressful finding good childcare, glad it's working out

Just ordered a new menstrual cup (since I threw my old one out when we moved). That whole KU post in May '15 reminded me that I have to go back to worrying about periods and unintended pregnancies again. Blah!
I have absolutely no modesty or hesitation NIP. I don't even bother to cover up. When my baby is crying the last thing on my mind is caring if I'm making other people uncomfortable. Yesterday we were out on a family walk and I ended up walking down the street nursing L.
This is me. Modesty what? Hungry kid has to eat...or you'll br hearing screaming...which do you prefer?

+1. I would prefer to cover myself due to shyness. But then it's so much work, trying to peak under there, she pops on and off. I would never go out if I didn't just say screw it and nurse with no cover. If I do cover, I'm covering myself not her eating. I pull my shirt up and use the cover to cover up my stomach lol.
This is why I layer with tanks. Shirt up covers top of breast and tank covers belly. Babies head covers breast

Um my boob is bigger than her head. I've debated just throwing the cover over my own head so I don't have to see people looking at me and give them my I-dare-you-to-say-something-death glare face

So is mine. But with shirt covering top of boob bet little it left to see

I've taken to throwing a burp cloth over my shoulder on the side he's eating. I'm giving the illusion on covering up when in fact the cloth is there so I can freaking find it. Those things grow legs, yo.

I've been feeding him while he's in the K'TAN (my phone keeps auto correcting that to all caps. I'm not fixing it) so blocks some of the show. And yeah my boob is way bigger than his head.
My FFFC, if I don't get anything directly on myself, I don't wash my hands after I change Jake. I did at home, but being on the road and not having our ensuit here... it's a pain.

I've done this to get her latched in places I am in close proximity to others, like at a restaurant and at the parade. It must look ridiculous for us both to be under there, but my boo s are huge and there are a lot of attempts at latching. When we are out and I can be slightly removed then I don't cover.
We've had zero issues BFing. She's been a champion nurser from the beginning, gained a ton of weight, no pain at all on my part. And yet I still feel like throwing in the towel because I'm tired of being the only food source. I know I could pump but that annoys me too.
I won't quit, because I'm stubborn, and it's free. But I want to be able to have time to myself without worrying about nursing or pumping. I'm sure a couple months from now when she eats less and sleeps better (hopefully) I won't care as much.

People wash their hands after diaper changes? Even just pees? Ain't nobody got time for that.

This is me. I feel so guilty that I don't want to continue..

When DS1 was in the NICU they beat washing after every change into us. Now with baby #3 not a chance I have time to wash my hands every time I change a diaper.

I can't imagine life without pumping anymore. It's such a pain in the ass. But she needs me to do it. And it's free. Even if my whole life revolves around it now lol. These last couple days have been rough-insanely sensitive nipples, I'm exhausted, and I'm tired of feeling like a milk machine.
I just tell myself: antibodies...free...burning calories...antibodies...free...excuse to eat more candy...

You start solids around 6 months!! Sometimes sooner.

+1 I know I should be grateful things are going well but yeah I'm tired of feeling like a cow. I've been pumping more so I have the opportunity to go out for a few hours every week.

Hah yeah, I've decided this is how I got pink eye.

Yup I got a viral strain of pink eye in both eyes with my dd. Antibiotic drops wouldn't treat of course. Plus I scratched my cornea. I wasn't allowed to wear my contacts for2 months. It sucked because I have pretty bad eyesight and my glasses are thick. I still don't wash after every diaper change. I just make sure I wash before doing anything with my contacts.
