Did you all know that Oreos have neither chocolate nor milk as ingredients? Usually I would say EW... But my lactose free diet for baby says give me ALL of them
Aaaaand Carters is having a 50% off everything sale, plus take an extra 25% off your order of $40 or more using code VETDAY25
I need to put my wallet away. Yikes.
Consignment shopping has ruined me. I went to check out this sale and I just keep thinking "$___ for this?!? That I can get for $2-5 at Once Upon a Child!"
My kid only knows new clothes if someone gifts them.
Yeah baby boy #3 over here. He wears everything the older two wore, and a lot of those things were even hand me downs from friends.

Yes! Once I was clear to restart soy oil and/or lecithin (can't remember which is in them) I ate oreos nonstop with DD1. I'm looking forward to getting to eat soy derivatives again now just so I can have my oreos. Now if only they were as good dipped in non-dairy milk as they are in regular milk...

Sitting at McDonald's until I need to go to M's appointment. My phone battery is down to 14%. Oh no. I had more time between errands than I thought I would. At least the car ride put him to sleep.
I went ahead and schedule a blowout during lunch. Shitty thing is it's fucking snowing
I am not prepared for this and I seriously might have a panic attack if we have to pick up B from daycare and it's still snowing. I'm so afraid of car accidents.

mommabakes I'm not sure how you feel about this or if you've tried it but maybe you could try cry it out. I read a Scary Mommy post on it a few weeks back and this woman was getting ill from her lack of sleep. She said the first day it took 20 minutes but the crying stopped and the baby ended up STTN. It would be really hard but maybe take a shower see if after you still hear crying.

Re: How Many Feeds - LO eats five times a day, 5 oz each time. 630ish, 10ish, 130ish, 430ish,7ish.
My Deep freezer is filled to the top with frozen breast milk. I pulled out the bags from the End of August (when I started freezing) and now I feel like the kid that is trying to jump into the middle of a jump rope. I have no idea how to incorporate my frozen milk into what I am pumping. Typically - I pump what I need for the next day and then freeze the left over in our Freezer. Then, every other day I take the frozen milk from the past two days, put it in a large Ziploc and put it in the deep freezer.
I'm not sure there is a solution here - maybe I should just donate some of it? Does anyone know if there is a minimum amount you can donate? Right now I have about 2,000 oz frozen.
2nd night in a row of sttn (10-6) so I've leaked through my nursing pads and bra for the second morning in a row lol. Anyone else started wearing a bra to sleep due to nipple sensitivity?
Also, advice wanted. We have a small kitchen with limited counter space. We hand wash all bottles and accessories, and let them air dry. I need ideas on what to do with them after they dry. I've got 6 small bottles and 6 big ones, plus vents and stuff (Dr browns).
+1 to wearing a bra to sleep these days...it's the only time I leak, when A sleeps at least 7 hours.
Also do you have a dishwasher? We hand wash all bottles too, and stick them in the dishwasher to dry. We just end up leaving them in there until we use them again. Saves counter and cabinet space.

if your thinking about donating, my friends baby could use the help. A milk bank has been set up for him. He's four months old and his mom passed away in a car accident last Sunday. This is the Facebook page: www.facebook.com/groups/834673626631383/
Went to Taco Bell this morning for the free breakfast. Never had it before and it was actually pretty good!
Laundry now and have to figure out what to do for dinner.
Yesterday was hectic, but went well! I got A's birth certificate, had lunch with SIL so she could meet A, and surprised DH's coworkers by bringing A to dinner. She did so well being out and about all day! And I think I wore her out because she slept 8.5 hours last night.

Google Human milk Banking for North America to find your nearest milk bank. Typically the smallest donation they will accept is around 200 oz. Or you can try Eats on Feets to do a private donation route.

*sigh* clearly people didn't believe my advice in the pumping thread when I said "buy extra parts and keep them at work because you will forget your parts. I'm teasing you hiimjamie

Thanks! It looks like it's more of a meet up and donate? I am in FL, so would have to ship it somehow. Do you know if they are willing to get a shipment? (I can ask one of the admins if you are unsure)

There is one here in Orlando! I just called and someone will call me back to screen me! I will certainly keep a stash for my little guy, but I'm really excited I can do this for another LO that will need it!

DS2 has been napping on me. For the past 3 hours. I didn't pack drinks or snacks. I keep thinking he's going to wake. And I don't want to disturb him since he was not feeling well yesterday.

Finally caught up and all I've got is hugs to everyone who needs them. I've got nothing today. I went to get my eye brows done, and then to the park. I even managed to grocery shop with two sleeping babies.

I am so annoyed. Our recycling comes every other Wednesday. For whatever reason they didn't come yesterday and haven't been today either. Now I get to call and find out. Ugh
I freaking love this article. One woman could store 2.5 oz in her breast and another, 20 oz. TWENTY. This is why we can't compare ourselves and our babies. We're all so drastically different.
Love this article too. I think I know what book she's talking about and I tried to do the stretched out feedings it recommended and it stressed the crap out of me. There was no fricken way I could stretch out my baby who likes to eat every 2-2.5 hours to every 4 hours. Thanks for posting!
Putting DS down to bed makes me so anxious though. I think it's the type A personality in me who just wants to control when he goes to sleep. But he wants to stay up and snack on my boob until 11pm and I want him asleep by 9pm. Who ends up winning? DS. BUT he has been sleeping better. He went from 11-5:30 last night so I got a good 6 hour stretch of sleep. Then 6-8:30am. So maybe we both win? Just not on the schedule I want. And that keeps aggravating me. I need to get over it.

We eat 5x a day over here too. 6:30-7, 10 ish, 1:30, 5 ish, 8ish. Bed immediately after last feed. She STTN until morning feed. But we're in the process of moving her to the nursery now that she's on her back full time. I wonder if she might not sleep a smudge longer without us disturbing her. I pump three times a day, get around 25oz. 6-7am, 12ish, (nurse the 5pm feed) then 10-11pm. I'm finally to the point that I'm waking up just full and not leaking and in pain! Yay!
runningmommy519 we don't recycle at all here. It's not an option. IT KILLS ME
So I finally went home to get the pump parts and pump on my lunch break. I hadn't fed Jake since 7am, this was noon. I set up the pump, took off my bra, turn on the pump and go to put the pump to my boobs and damn Lefty is just spraying milk all over my jeans! AH! I told Wife it looked like someone poked a hole in a water balloon LOL!
