So as someone who is constantly battling supply issues I understand your frustrations with the preciousness of Breastmilk. That being said, she may be eating more now. I was told B was finishing all his bottles and eating an extra. It is strange that some days she's eating very little though.
I'm going to try to catch up. I'm pumping at work and ugly crying because of the pictures of Joey (from Joey & Rory) with her daughter someone posted on Facebook. It's just so sad. I can't even handle it.
Eta: Good luck motownthrowdown, so shitty you are going through this crap.
Creeper alert. abvintage you were in my dream last night. MH and I were getting remarried, or married again for some reason, in a little country chapel and you were there. The ceremony was Disney Frozen-themed. I was dressed like Elsa (or supposed to be dressed like Elsa) and there were pictures of snowflakes everywhere. I think you were dressed like Anna, but we weren't the characters or acting like the characters, it was just dress up.
gingerygirl at this point you need to inform not only his PO but inform your family of what's going on. You need the support. Also you need to have a "come to Jesus" moment and really think long and hard about what your future is going to look like.
If two guys get into a fight at a bar don't both people get punished?
I agree 95% of the time but as someone who was really bullied as a kid and the school did nothing my Mom finally got to the point where she told me if they do it again hit them back. By that pointed I was so insecure it never happened, but my mom dud end up with a child who had situational depression and always says she wishes she would have told me to fight back sooner.
Here's my take. At that age they need to let an adult know. If he was perpetually being bullied (the shoving stuff) I think there is a point where you just say hit the little shit back, but not until it's a real issue.
In the finger pointing just no. He might have been saying mean thing but that's somewhere the school needs to intervene. If he's being bullied physically or emotionally, talk with the school. If nothing comes of it go in and raise hell. In general though bullying and someone being a shithead are different.
Just had my interview. I think it went well but you can just tell these people are so stressed and not really advocated for properly. In some was I'm like hey I can be your hero, in other ways I'm like DNW.
mkissa if you feel comfortable I'd love to look at your shop!
lemon200, you should think of a way to stand out. For example, I've thought about opening a shop and just selling sorority items. There aren't a whole lot of shops that focus just on them.
edit: lawndog1216, your sisters link too. I love creeping on these shops. Especially in time for the holidays.
Edit2: wildermom & mkissa you should share your links for the TCF holiday shop.
Regarding the Etsy convo. Would this board maybe be interested in doing our own holiday shop? Maybe we don't want to share that info with all of TCF or we don't have Etsy but we have things we make and could sell.
IDK, it's just a thought. bibliothecary come out, come out wherever you are and let me know if this is against the rules.
We use the jumparoo already. Talked to the doc and he said to use it. Everyone who deals with him talks about "how strong he is" and I'm really not that worried. Also, he's a PITA about always wanting to be standing.
It's this afternoon. I still don't feel prepared because last night DH iphone finally came in and he insisted he needed it then. So I had single baby duty and got nothing done. I'm trying to scramble to look up and refresh on some things this AM. FX.

wildermom has a store. My SIL had one and she liked it. You probably won't make a bunch of $. The problem is competition. You will want to make sure you scope out the competition and do something different and price competitively.
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.
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.
I have an interview tomorrow and I am so not prepared. Also that means I have to wash and style my hair tonight after we get home. I hate that. So much work. Will someone please come do it for me? Maybe I should just go get it done during lunch. Hmmm.
My parents are currently undergoing treatment for cancer. My father is taking Opvido, which is a drug that's supposed to stimulate his immune system to fight his cancer (he's already undergone chemo & radiation previously). My mom has stage 4 breast cancer and is undergoing chemo/radiation. My brother has been staying with them to help them out, but he has some work issues to deal with, so I'm going to take over for a week.
I want to bring Liam because (and I really hate thinking like this) this might be the last time they ever see him. I know babies & immune-comprised people don't really go together well. Should I bring Liam or leave him at home with my husband? For what its worth, my husband is willing to come with me and take care of Liam while I take care of my parents. And I don't think I can do this alone. But I don't want to risk making things more difficult for my parents or Liam.
I would think if he's not sick initially it should be ok because immunity wise he's about at the same level as them but honestly I would have them ask their doctors for a recommendation on it.
I am so sorry. Your situation is very tough. I'll keep you all in T&P.
Gosh I missed everything today. Was running errands like a crazy lady today, then had a charity meeting.
AW kinda cool but buzzfeed is featuring my tweet in some kind of video apparently. For those of you who don't know I started a blog called SchmittsGiggles and anyway. Really I was just excited when The Blogess retweeted me.
Hope everyone gets restful nights and has a great Thursday
abvintage do you do oatmeal for breakfast? Steel.cut oats are the best for supply.
I do all the things but TBH this week it's been instant oats because I've been waking up late every day so I just use what they provide at the office. I need to get back to the steel cuts.
My supply is a TW today and yesterday. I had been doing pretty good and I'm not sure what changed but hell there is no way I'm getting enough pumped again today. I have to start doing all the things. Definitely making some lactation cookies tomorrow to have at work. This is ridiculous.
I think mothers milk makes something called milk plus. Like more milk plus but without the fenugreek. B got gassy with that right?
He gets gassy anyway but I feel like he was more gassy with the fenugreek. I took some this morning because it gotten so low again but I forgot to bring some with me to take while I'm at work.
I power pumped the last two mornings so hoping to see an increase tomorrow. I'm really wondering if I need to go back on the 21 day fix just because my production was higher on it but I'm not sure if that was because I had been simultaneous pumping and nursing with power pumping as well. I guess it wouldn't hurt to see just takes time I don't have for food prep. Grumble grumble.
