I forgot my hands free pumping bra:( But! I decided I'm going to start weaning from my middle of the day pump session, woo! I'm super prone to clogs so I'm just cutting it down by a few minutes every couple of days. Hopefully I'll be able to drop it by the time DD is 11m:)

Oh that's tough @jimbobcooter. I hope you do get to FaceTime soon and that puts a smile on his face!
It sure does pull some heart strings when they do that @akwild
I had to drive to another parking lot to pump for lunch because my morning creeper was back in the parking lot hanging out with a group of guys and I have forgot my cover... In other news we dropped the price on our house this weekend because we haven't had any offers in almost two months. It's getting to both H and I, we had made such great plans trying to optimistic about the move and now bleh.
pghtruelove I haaaate bad hair days on picture days:( if it's not too much of a pain of do whatever you need to fix. DNW to spend $$ on pictures you will hate because of your hair:(
@jimbobcooter I hope these days fly and Wednesday gets here asap!!

wegrowsheep, good luck to tomorrow at DS1's appointment. Hope it goes as easily as possible
@jimbobcooter, Hope you get to facetime with P soon..and Wednesday is here before you know it.
@jemomma, thinking of you and DD1 and sending positive thoughts for good results.
I've been trying to get on here all day and it's just been so busy at work. M is continuously teething and fussy and over Passover dinner my mom joked in front of everyone that I told her that M is a tough baby. Yea, I said that to you when I was feeling overwhelmed and tired, not for you to tell the whole world. I'm having a hard time with my family in general and just not feeling all too great. Hoping it's just Monday blues and things get better from here on out for the rest of the week.
Happy new week !! Work will soon get in my way of TCFing, so catching up while I can !
Hoping Wednesday comes fast @jimbobcooter. Will be creeping for an update @jemomma. Tell us more about yourself daydreamer002 !!
I just spend 30 min selecting my fabrics for the high chair ribbons, from that cute Etsy store that has a zillions different prints. Now I can't wait for them to get in the mail ! It is 10.52am and I am super hungry, I did not have dinner yesterday because we had lunch at a friend's place and I did not realize there were peppers in her veggies, and I am allergic. Stomach burns are no joke
+1 to nightshade allergies, but mine isn't really bad, just eczema. Are you sensitive to tomatoes or potatoes as well?
I'm counting down the minutes until I can leave work and go see E. First day back at work since last week Wednesday and of course I'm playing catch up on all of my projects. Lots of hugs @jimbobcooter, I hope you can FaceTime with P!
I can't wait to hear from purple and hear about how their pregnancy announcement went this weekend!
We're back! I'm just settling L in bed.
I tried to do it casually. We were having lunch on Friday and the doting grandparents said something about how much they adore L and how thrilled they were to be going on holiday with her. "And you two, too!" added my Dad in a hasty afterthought. So I said,
"Do you think she'll like being a big sister?"
Dad caught on really quickly, and laughed and congratulated us. Mum turned red, white and red again and said,
"What?"
So H said, "She is going to be a big sister."
I'm glad we told them at the beginning of the weekend as it took at least a day for Mum to get her head around it! They are delighted, although Mum is also apprehensive because I had such a difficult pregnancy last time, and because I had mild PND briefly.
The public announcement will probably be after L's birthday, so that people don't spend her birthday telling her that she's going to be a big sister. Not that she'll remember either way, but it'll be nice for her first birthday to be about her.
We had a lovely long weekend. L was very excited the whole time, and also completely thrilled to be home again and see the cats. I think it'll do her good to do some more routine things for a few days.
Has anything happened that I need to know about? I had a bit of time on Saturday and handed out a few LTs but have basically missed everything since Friday.
jessila, I'm honoured that I appeared in your dream!
So....random....I was rear-ended by a drunk driver when DS was about 3 weeks old. (yes...like 3 years ago). The guy has basically dodged getting caught, and has a few failure to appear for court dates, but they finally got him, and it looks like he's going to be going to jail for about 90 days.
H is leaving on a work trip this afternoon. He'll be back this Saturday. Solo parenting. Advantages...not as much pressure to cook a full meal and clean. I can watch whatever TV I want after the kids go to bed. Disadvantages...no cuddles and solo bedtime with 2 is much harder.

Feeling all the sads because tomorrow is my last week day at home with Oscar. Next week I start 5 days/week... It's been so awesome that I could gradually move towards full-time, and I love my job, but I'll miss these days with him more than I can express. Ugh, it gives me a sad crampy feeling in my stomach!
Had fun outside after work tonight with him. I just filled two big tupperwares with water and added a few toys. He loved it. I love that it's warm enough to do that outside!!
+1 on the baby feels. My childhood best friend and another girl I know both had babies this weekend. I got really sad when I saw. Obviously, I'm thrilled for them, but I'm sad that I won't be doing that again. And my little squish has suddenly turned into a little boy. The move to the big kid room has definitely been harder on me than him. I kind of want to cry every time I bring him to daycare now. I'm going to go eat cookies now.

I get teary when I think about Jules turning 1 but can not deal with another baby right now. I want to pull all of my hair out. Maybe when she is 3 I will consider it. All you moms with kids close in age are super moms and I give you al the kudos!!!
A lot of people keep asking me when I'm going to have another baby. I'm not joking but the status of my ute was the topic of at least 5 peoples conversations today. I'm was just looking at them... My baby (who doesn't look like a baby anymore) isn't even 1. Give me a break people. And when did this become a good conversation topic?
I feel like that is just natural conversation starters for some people. Like when you are dating but not married to your SO it's ' when are you getting married?' When married then it's 'when are you having a baby?' Then when are you having a second baby? Third and so on.
I get asked when we're having another baby a lot by people that know we did IVF. Depending on the person, I usually joke about when we can afford to thaw and transplant an embryo & do they want to pay for it??
I think we agreed to try late summer 2018. LO will be three and H will have tenure. Oh, and our first IVF loan will be paid off by then.
