It's really only Tuesday? Feels like it should be Wednesday at least! Blah.
Trying to wean from pumping. I feel good about how far I've gotten and it's just time. Wish it was easier and less painful. Slowly reducing pumping sessions and going to get cabbage leaves to help with engoregement today. If any of you guys stopped pumping how long did it take for you to dry up? I think it took me like two weeks with DS but I can't remember. I've been exclusively pumping- very little latching and BF. She is only taking bottles.
ampaints I hate that, when you simply cannot stay awake. Pretty sure that'll be me today as well. I've been up every hour since 1am for one reason or another.
I've got lots of running around to accomplish today. DD1 has school, DD2 has mother's morning out, I need to buy a birthday present for a one year old, DD1 has dance and the we've got said one year old's party. I should probably squeeze a shower in there and I need to design a shirt for the dance studio. Already wishing for bed time!
Morning! B finally slept a little better last night. I seriously need to get him into his crib. We've been co sleeping, bit he's starting to get too wiggly and doesn't want to nurse, just wants to hold the boob.
Getting ready for opening weekend of gun deer hunting this week. I know most of you don't hunt, but it's like a state wide holiday over here! Plus it's the only guaranteed weekend that my brother and cousins will be home. Unfortunately the temperatures are going to drop like 25 degrees after tomorrow. I think winter is finally arriving....
+1 ampaints W was up almost every hour. I haven't been drinking caffeine because it seems to make W cranky but I am about to get the largest coffee on my way to the pediatrician. Hour you can get some coffee in you too.
Thanks ajetter and packmomma. I ended up unlatching M and letting birth of us snooze for 15 more minutes, it really seemed to help. I hope you both get some rest. packmomma I hope you have a good follow up appointment!
livnluv2010 with DS I pumped for about 8 weeks and it took about 3 weeks to dry up. This time I breastfed DD for one day and leaked for 6 weeks. I didn't completely dry up until I went on hormonal birth control. Hope it doesn't take very long for you!
Last night when I came home from work, H was out in the yard and had the radio playing in the garage. I brought DS and DD outside to enjoy the nice weather. DS starts jumping up and down in the garage, and says "mommy, I'm dancing!" So we all had a 5 minute dance party in the garage. Easily the best 5 minutes of my week
I have a ton to say today but I will keep it brief.
1. Has @greengirl09 poas yet? 2. I suck at typing on my phone (I realized this after seeing something I posted last night) 3. Slept like shit because still fighting with H. I refuse to back down and he needs to learn to see things from others point of view. He is NOT always right and his way is NOT always right. 4. Caden spit up all over me 5 mins before walking out the door. He managed to miss my only pair of work paints though so that is a plus. He is now stuffy and congested. This dude needs to get healthy again. But he is still happy as can be. 5. Today is my nieces 5th birthday - you know what she got? A cancelled bday party due to breaking her arm on the monkey bars. Poor girl.
I'm in an irritable funk and I don't really know why. DH has been driving me up the wall lately with little things. Annoying things but not worthy of me loosing my cool. I can't put my finger on in. I'm so bothered!!

@janetheconquerer, I'm glad your priorities are in order. POAS and then everything else. If I could gif, it would be that Michael Jackson popcorn one. I'm on pins and needles for @greengirl09.
Oh and I'm a jerk. I mean to post this yesterday... E's eval for Early Intervention went well. She scored perfectly on track in development for a 3 month old. Which is great. The lady wasn't a PT but actually the coordinator to decide what her needs would be. She's recommending we start with PT and then bring in OT later. Apparently PT and OT basically cover a lot of the same stuff at this age. Hopefully their PT will get to us before Thanksgiving and do her own professional eval before starting the routine.
Also not sure how I felt about this lady. She didn't seem to have a great understanding of SB. Like, she assumed Eliza wouldn't age out of the program at three but likely conquer everything and we'd drop them. Because "these babies just do so well". Umm what? She will very very likely age out. I don't get it. Doesn't she know the SB norm? Later the woman referred to one of her other SB patients and how "he just runs all around". I realized she's one of those that thinks all SB is basically same. It's like the people that tell me their best friends cousins brother is a little league champ and you'd never know he has SB. Ugh. Hoping I don't have to fight that for three years...
So Friday we have our first private PT session. (Clarification: Private PT, as in, we set up the schedule ourselves and its filed through our INS. Also it's in a regular therapy rehab place. Focuses more on medical physical therapy to help her spine and legs. Early Intervention is state run and they come to the house a couple of times a month to work on more practical every day stuff. Her goals are "kick the piano" or " life head 45 degrees off carpet.")
TL;DR I still haven't seen a real PT yet for an evaluation. We'll have the private one Friday and then hopefully the EI on next week.

My child has never been easy to put down to sleep at night, but now she is fighting all naps too. She spent the first 4 weeks of life sleeping so much that you'd have to force her awake to eat. Now she apparently hates falling to sleep.
I hate everything about any kind of sex because of my botched stitching. Everytime my H gives me the look I want to hide. Also, @greengirl09... The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things.... Seriously.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the days H really helps out around the house because he's off work so he's not sleeping all day. Well not today because he has his first day of community service. So I'll be home alone all day. I think I'm going to just find a good show to binge watch and snuggle with Jackson all day.

Morning! DS has his first ever field trip today, he was sooooo excited this morning. I'm running some errands with DD this morning and then tackling laundry and (hopefully) getting a run in. I went to the gym last night even though I was tired, but I hate hate HATE treadmill running. I need to be outside!

telos, that was the best GIF ever. @greengirl09, congrats!
I have a very long and busy day for work in front of me, but as I work from home, my only feeling on this is, "I'm totally fucked." I'm 80% prepared but don't seem to be able to pull away from the DDs to get to 100%. Both are snotty and congested and looking to snuggle, and today is the one day I really just can't. Grandma is in FL, Grammy is sick, and that exhausts our list of babysitters. MH is working two states away on a huge project and won't be home until after dinner. Off to parent for a while, and hopefully will be able to check back in before meetings overtake my day. Happy Tuesday, ladies!
Jake slept from 10pm to 5am as he normally does but the damn cat woke me up 4 times. Then he got locked in the bathroom. With a littler box, food and water of course. Grumble. Jake has quite the cough. It really only started yesterday so we'll see how it sounds tomorrow. No fever.
SIL induction update. 63 hours in. 1cm, soft cervix. She's doing her 3rd day of pitocin. How long are they going to let this go on??? She needs to deliver before 38 weeks bc of the hypertension and chlostesis but that's Friday. Will they really keep doing this until Friday??? My brother told me this morning that she "flips out" when she they check her cervix so they hadn't had one since 5pm. She finally let them check at 8am. What!

They will probably let her go as long as she and baby are healthy and tolerating things. I know when I was induced they would have let me labor as long as I wanted since DS1 and I were doing fine (but we ended up opting for a c-section). I hope she delivers soon.
@janetheconquerer, wildermom, There must be something in the air, because I have been irritable with my DH lately too. We got into a stupid argument last night over cleaning the drain trap after doing the dishes! I mean is it that difficult to wait for the sink to drain and then just empty it?? Apparently DH has WAY more important things to do and 'will go back to do it', which never happens. So, so minor and silly, but come on!
So my mom is coming for a visit this afternoon, and I'm hoping to get out for a walk today, it's beautiful and sunny so far! DS1's new gf is coming over after school today (this is like huge for me, as this is the first time I am meeting any of the girls that are not just friends...or as the teens these days affectionately refer to it as BAE....which he told me means Before Anyone Else, and not what I thought, which was a lazy way of saying Babe...lol). So I am making dinner and hoping to make her feel comfortable so I can assess her intentions with my son! lol....Not sure if anyone else here has such an age gap with their children (DS1 is 16 yr and DS2 is 3 months), but it keeps life interesting with a teen and infant! lol
Me: 39 DH: 39 DS1 born Sept 1999 Married Nov 2010 TTC 2010 2011 BFP ended in ectopic RE Aug 2014. Unexplained infertility Sept 2014-Dec 2014 fermera/IUI/TI BFN's
August 16, 2015 baby Boy M is born and our hearts melt!
Just got an update from my bro. They're going to see how they feel about a c section tonight if she hasn't progressed. They're being very nice and considerate and keeping everyone updated on Facebook and people are kind of being dicks about c sections. I keep telling her that it's different for everyone. I was completely fine after mine. I had very little pain and that's obviously not the case for everyone, but they shouldn't try to scare her.
