I've been having supply issues. My hairdresser mentioned that she adds brewers yeast to her oatmeal. I tried it. I added waaaay too much. I couldn't eat it. Gross. Poor way to start, Tuesday.
Brewer's yeast is so gross. I've been contemplating making lactation cookies again. The last time I made them, I added cinnamon to mask the flavor and it actually worked!
It's cold and snowy. We're supposed to go out as I have a meeting with one of the program directors for my workshop I'm giving next weekend, but I'm going to see if she'll just do a phone call instead or reschedule.
LO has been all over her ABC mat already this morning. She's dumped out her sorting blocks and stacking rings and is now happily chewing on her bacon teether. It's pretty adorable.

I found a really good recipe for the cookies but DH always gives me crap for making them bc he doesn't think they really work. I might make more tonight if I have time.
Eta for cookie recipe link-http://onepartsunshine.com/baby-shower-gift-idea-lactation-cookie-mix-in-a-jar/ I followed the directions for the 'mom' and dumped in the other stuff. They were pretty delicious.

+1 erbear and billyhorrible I think mine is because I sleep with it stretched out under my head to gave my boobs a little room/not to get squished when I sleep on my belly. I get plugged ducts if I sleep fully on my belly. Which is, of course, my favorite way to sleep:(

GOOD NEWS: Charlotte's pediatrician called with the results of her hip ultrasound- I apparently have a little Cirque Du Soleil baby who should be signed up for gymnastics and cheerleading, pronto.
Good morning! I woke up on time today, so it's already looking better than Monday. Our house is officially on the market as of last night. F&TX (not sure that's a thing)! I had a huge dip in my supply yesterday, worse than other Mondays. I'm hoping today looks better.
LT for the excitement of putting your house on market, not for supply dip:(
@wwprestige, good luck with the house sale! We're in the process of putting together an offer for an old primary school. We're hoping to buy it with another couple and turn it into two huge houses.
LO didn't let me get back to sleep after getting up at 4.30. She got quite a lot more sleep, but as soon as I moved, let alone tried to put her down, the wails started again. We went to one of our regular groups this morning, rhyme time run by the local library, which she loved as usual. Then lunch got curtailed just now because she hit herself in the face with her cup and became inconsolable. She sobbed for twenty minutes.
I would think she was teething, but she's had teething symptoms since nine weeks and no tooth yet, so I think she'll probably get her first tooth when she's 43.
Now she's sitting chatting to her toy cat and I'm wishing I wasn't allergic to coffee.
ETA: fabulous news about Charlotte's hip, mrsmonogrammed.
Carter's experts: do they have a big MLK sale coming up? Need to buy a few staples but I thought I remembered them having a big sale around this time last year.
I feel like they almost always have big sales for "holidays" so I would wait just to see. If nothing else, there is always their 20% off of $40+

Good morning ladies! Today I have an appointment with my regular orthopedic doc who's been treating me since my injury back in June 14 to review the results from my appointment last week with the official workers comp commission doctor. Long complicated story short, I just may have the begining of some closure today! Also waiting on a call back from a job who Ive been playing phone tag with the past week. They called first, so FX. I wonder if I should send an email to get direct contact, it seems the person who called me is never at their desk.
Finally bought myself a super shmexy bra and undies set yesterday. I was still wearing my nursing bras yall, and I haven't been nursing since like early October. Pranced around the house like a goddess. Got treated like one too lol. Score!
Oh budders, I'm sorry that happened. Hopefully the day smooths out a bit and it's not all bad.
+ 1 for waking up with arms/hands asleep. I had assumed it was carpel tunnel because it runs in my family and I've read that it can be made worse by pregnancy so I've been doing wrist exercises and that seems to help. Lately though my wrist hurts sometimes so I've been wearing a brace now and again.
Yesterday was our first sign class. It was kinda fun, I have a bit of an advantage because I've signed before. Yesterday DH came with me but since the group is three other moms plus us I don't think he'll go again. He gets really uncomfortable about women breastfeeding in front of him. Not wanting them to stop but he worries that he will accidentally make them uncomfortable.

More likely than not. If it is still cold outside where you are at, the winter stuff is already on super duper clearance.
No real complaints from me, considering all what I just read. Baby only got up once last night, I got her fed and back down within 30 minutes, so that was great. I got dinner in the crockpot before leaving for work (win). Now I am going to find a shitload of houses to send to my realtor and have her set them all up for us.
Any realtors out there? Why do I feel like tatersalad is one? My question is this - is it OK to send a realtor like 10 places we want to go see? There are so many houses on the market that it's just hard to tell from the listing if they would work for us or not. I don't wanna be tacky, but I also want to use her to our advantage
Totally fine. More often than not 1/2 the places won't be available to be viewed exactly when you want to go so a larger pool gives you better odds of seeing them! I would rank them like "dying to see" to "I'd like to see this one of the other 9 don't work out"
budders, I hope things start looking up soon, you're way overdue for a break! @bubbs119, feel better soon!
I've got nothing... it's Tuesday, and the roads suck because of snow, but I kind of don't mind too much because we actually slept ok again last night. I'm also already looking forward to my roast beef sandwich I packed for lunch. Hope everyone has a good day!

Not a realtor but when we bought our house in 2012 we saw 14 houses in 1 day...but most were at the suggestion of our realtor. They were semi in our search parameters.
Hugs to the ladies having a crappy day!! I don't really have anything to complain about other than B is getting 2 teeth at once and all she wants is me! Her dad just won't do and it takes everything in me not to just tell him to deal with it because I've done it all day! Just need more coffee or more sleep.

Back to the vet today. We took our cat a month ago bc she was vomiting for a few days (turned out she was basically constipated) but she started again yesterday and i can't have her just puking randomly with a mobile baby and toddler.

For some reason I think tatersalad is an aerobics instructor.
When we looked at houses we looked at 10-15 in a week. It's a huge decision in your life so do not be shy about asking your realtor for the things you need. Do you have Redfin in your area? I'm completely obsessed with that app

budders, this sounds exhausting. I'm sorry your Tuesday is starting out so rough.
@bubbs119, feel better!! Yuck!
Kristykristyleelee, I'm no realtor, but I just moved last October, so I thought I'd throw my two cents in. We definitely saw A LOT of houses (with the babe no less, so it was a few LONG days), but our realtor was so gracious and helpful. She encouraged us to find as many houses as possible that we wanted to see and she did all the legwork. I would also echo PPs who mentioned rating the houses. Once you go to a few places and your realtor gets a sense of what you like (and don't like), it makes their job easier too. Good luck!

We always sent our realtor a list, and he had his own. Pretty sure one day we saw 8 houses.

N was up two times in the MOTN last night, which has become our normal now. I need more coffee. We have to go grocery shopping today too. Anddd, he is now up from his nap after sleeping for like 30 minutes, so that's lovely. Any tips on how to get your little ones to take longer naps? All he does is catnap!
Kristykristyleelee oh good. It's so user friendly. I love all the notes they have regarding comps, schools, next open house. Good luck finding your home! We will be looking to buy a house in the next few months too

I would kill for 2 wake ups. We had about 10 last night and the night before.

Kristykristyleelee we literally sent our realtors 50 houses to look at the first time we were in contact with them. We looked at probably 100 houses before deciding.
Woke up to soo much snow I was going to go the the Children's Museum with my two girl friends and their kids but the snow isn't stopping anytime soon so we decided now to go. Right now LO is just climbing all over me trying to eat my apple sauce.
