Me too! I don't like hot coffee (though syrupy lattes mask the flavor enough for me), so I almost always get iced. I hate that people are going to pull their decaf iced soon since summer is over.
Oh I do like hot coffee too, but I pretty much drink my hot coffee black. I like my iced sweet n creamy though!
I'm changing pediatrician's. No matter what the reason, every time I call with a question or concern, come in. I had it today, she won't let me speak and talks over me, speaking a mile a minute. Going back to Gerber Gentle, for the the millionth time.
My sister referred to M as a baby having a "motor delay." Made me so mad! Just because he is gonna get PT for torticollis, and doesn't hold his head up perfectly yet, doesn't mean he has a motor delay. He'll be 4 months on June 19.
Are all your babies already holding their heads steady 100%? M is good most of the time but not 100% yet.
It depends on her mood. Sometimes she holds stready. Other times she gets lazy and doesn't hold her head up much. I noticed naked tummy time makes her happier so I let her do tummy time completely naked w no diaper and she holds her head better.

I am so ridiculously proud of LBB. He's really come into his own this year. He was a kid who was terrified of "characters" (he once made us wait in line to see Mickey Mouse, and once we got to the front he burst out crying and ran away), shy, and wouldn't even perform on stage with his classmates during holiday concerts.
Today he asked to take pictures with characters, rode pretty scary rides, and even entered a costume contest where he had to get on stage and be interviewed.
Took a pregnancy test this morning because I've had odd cramping off and on the last couple of days. And all that talk about the mini pill taking a while to take effect really freaked me out. It was negative, but I'm taking another one in a couple of days to make sure!
The weird thing is, I was kind of excited. I'm nuts.
j AF started yesterday, hadn't been around since August 16th.. Combined with morning nausea last week, I was scared to death, and then strangely okay with it...
periwinkledaydreams, sounds like you're doing all the right things. Have you tried those gel pads that wrap around the pump flange so you can have heat as you're pumping? Try that then hand express on the lump and immediately put a cold pack on after to help the pain. That's the only thing that helped me and it took about a day and a half to clear. Pump with heat, hand express a couple min, then cold pack. Hope you feel better!!
Uhhh...it's almost 9:45am and my baby is still sleeping? I've already enjoyed my entire cup of coffee while it's HOT. We got home late from the crab feast last night (it was amazeballs, btw) and he went to bed at 9:15. He got up at 12 and 6 to nurse...and is still sleeping.
Omg, LO was happily swinging in her swing and mil had to pick her up to change her. No reason. She gets changed before bedtime and it wasn't bedtime. So of course LO starts spazzing because she was enjoying her quiet swing time and I just had to deal with a meltdown where she wouldn't even latch. Poor kid!
My MIL does this too. Oh, the baby is happy? Let me ruin it for you.
Went to lunch w MIL and DH and I had just put Ali to sleep by rocking her in the car seat so then MIL offers to continue rocking her so I could eat my food. Then she just proceeds to talk and talk and not pay attention to rocking the car seat so I have a fully awake screaming baby next to us'
I get to pass a kidney stone today! Insert sarcastic "woo hoo" here.
At least I have some percocet left from the last time I passed one, so no trip to the ER this time. It should be fun to do laundry and clean my house while I'm high as a kite though
OMG I'm so sorry. Only men deserve to go through that, ever.
On that note, everything MH has done in the last couple days has been making me want to slap him. He is driving me nuts. and when I call him out on his shit, he has angry little tantrums and slams door. I have a 6 yo and 4 yo already, seriously. enough with the childish shit.

@jenmomma Yay for Percocet fueled house cleaning! Boo for having to pass a kidney stone. I'm sorry you're having to go through that. I hope it is tiny and passes quickly.
Thinking of you @jenmomma!! I thankfully (knock on wood) have never had to deal with that! DH and I just put in offer in on a house! Wish me luck that both parties can agree on a number soon and I can be in my own home by early December!
I love my mil, I do. But seriously, enough with the "oh, I am convinced she pooped, get her out of her comfortable position now!" (She hadn't) and "she's fussing because she has gas!" (She's always gassy; more like she's fussing because she fell asleep mid-nursing and woke up in the car and is still hungry).

Making pesto today. Like, mega pesto, 12 cups or more. And lest you all think I do it all from my garden, please be reassured that there is nothing more awesome than the bag o' peeled garlic from Costco for this job!

Do you hand chop or use a food processor? I hand chopped pesto one time and it was awesome, but took about 4 hours.
Food processor all the way! I also roast half the garlic, so it isn't too spicy.

Do you have a recipe? We have three basil plants taking over our windowbox.

Not a detailed recipe, but here's what I do. I toss 8 or cloves into the processor with a few Tbs of olive oil, and chop them. Then I fill it with basil leaves, another 8 cloves of roasted garlic, and another 1/4 c of oil, maybe more. Process til it looks like pesto, but not too fine. I spread it out on plastic wrap on a tray, then freeze. Break into smaller pieces and store in a ziploc in the freezer.
