So after one week of weaning myself from the pump I made it 12 hours today! My goal is to do morning and night for as long as I can keep up a supply to do so.
You aren't suppose to put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear. No you can't fit your elbow in your ear so that means nothing in the ear. There are some pretty gross images on Google
korean people use this thing that looks like a small spoon to scrape the earwax off the inside. Obviously very dangerous, but my mom did it to me as a kid. I'm probably not going to do it to E unless she's a lot older. Like 10. At least. For now, I use my fingernail to kinda scrape out what I can. It's super glamorous. Fun fact: Asian earwax is like dry sheets of wax, similar to beeswax. E takes after my side in this apparently.
Oh baby GAP is doing 40% off today, plus you earn $25 gap cash for every $50 you spend.
they make Lil silicone spoons for ears, I got some for dd.

When I tried to wean I was able to pump twice a day for a while, and I was getting about 24oz a day. I eventually had to go cold turkey to finally dry up.

shellyr. Let me ask you a question? Well I guess first of all is your SO a veggie too? Mine isn't and when we go to the thanksgiving with my inlaws I have mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and usually a fruit dish. It drives me insane
We were away this weekend. We did a Christmas in November with family that came up from NC. The kids loved playing together and Kaylee soaked up the attention. She also started rolling belly to back (it is possible she has been doing this at daycare, but they don't tell us about "firsts" so we can experience them). While we were away, my in-laws came over and did housework for us,including painting the hallway that leads to our bedrooms!
H and I talked. No sure things are resolved but we will see. We agreed we have to communicate more and need to take more time for our relationship. He also said he'd Eli more but I have to tell him..
We are trying N in a sleep sack tonight instead of swaddling. He kept breaking out and this fleece sack will be warmer than his night shirt.

ETA: I guess I'm wondering if this would bug you?
H is not a vegetarian but he eats very little meat at home. He likes my food, so we eat the same thing.
His family doesn't make anything special for me (I'm ok with that) but my parents always make me something special (Tofurkey, smoked mushrooms, something like that) even though I tell them it is unnecessary.
I woukd be be ticked if I brought something to share and my MIL 'forgot' about it.

Good luck! We need to do the same but keep giving in when C wakes herself up without the swaddle. Let us know how it goes.

I was only getting 10 Oz tops for the whole day EP'ing. 24 Oz blows my mind.

That was when I was eping. The ironic thing is I thought I had supply issues
We got invited to a "fun under one" baby playgroup. It's on Wednesday and I'm very excited about it. I'm hoping I click with the moms, I've only met one of them.
Survived baptism day with lots of crazy family shenanigans. Baby L was so good the whole day. Today was probably the longest we have been out and about with her and she did great. I'll save my AW pics for Wednesday...maybe...probably not.
runningmommy519 how are there no green veggies at your Thanksgiving??
I'm also a vegetarian married to an omnivore, though he only eats meat maybe 2-3 times per week. I usually bring two dishes to Thanksgiving to make sure I have something other than potatoes and cranberries to eat. I'm annoyed on your behalf that your MIL "forgot" to put out your dish. What, because a veggie would clutter the table?
We also do appetizers, and I make sure there is a cheese tray so I know I'm getting some protein at the meal. We often put the appetizers on the table with the big meal, too. Maybe that would be an option for you?

I am so happy to see more veggies on the board.
I am so damn excited! I found my running shoes for CHEAP. So I got two pairs. The pair I have feel a little small so i got a half size up. I usually like to go a full size from what I normally wear. I usually pay at least 100 bucks for my running shoes and I got two pair for a little over 100!

Add me to this club because C just peed on BOTH of her swaddlers and I don't trust her to be swaddled in a blanket anymore. Great.

Alright. I've tried Huggies overnights and snug n dry. I've tried pampers. I've tried target brand. I've tried honest company. I've tried a size up. My kid is a pee machine. I give up trying to keep him dry overnight and have resigned myself to lots of pee soaked laundry.

Oh no!!!
His first stretch of sleep was no good... He's never up before 12 and he was up at 11:15.. Depending on how well he sleeps this next stretch, I may just swaddle him Oh, and he wiggled around a LOT and woke up when we first put him down and that never happens.

Get a wool cover for over the disposable. Will change your laundry life.

I'm not vegetarian and this would piss me off. We've had vegetarians at our Thanksgiving before and we made sure we had plenty of different things for them to eat.

Have you gone up a size?
I found that even if my kids haven't quite reached the weight gain, they still need to be in a bigger diaper.

I've tried both.

I've heard with boys that you have to angle their penis a certain way or it will leak. I have no idea wtf I'm talking about though. No boys in my family lol
