I HAVE to get my pump out and clean it so I can start doing this. I feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day.

Leaf 🌱 yes I'm tasting it. There was one bottle that I tried to give him and he puked up the little but that he drank so I tasted it and omg I still want to hurl every time I think about it, I felt so bad that I'd tried to give it to him because it was definitely sour. 😖 So now I'm smelling and tasting everything. If it smells soapy, does it taste weird too? Like idk if it's just weird or actually gone bad, I just don't like the taste! The bottle I pumped I Thursday smelled/tasted fine when I put it in the fridge bit was definitely different by Saturday.

alwayscheese I noticed that my frozen milk smelled a little different than freshly pumped... maybe soapy smelling? I tasted a little and I couldn’t really tell a difference in taste. L has taken both, so I’m not sure he notices either. I mean he doesn’t love the bottle in general, so it’s still a bit of a struggle, but it’s a struggle for both frozen/thawed and freshly pumped.

My H is giving me a mother's day makeup today. I was supposed to sleep in but the girls had other plans. But he made homemade waffles and a white mocha so I was happy.
Tonight we're going out to eat by ourselves for the first time since Elle was born. The place were going to has amazing steaks so I'm tres excited.

alwayscheese I had the lipase problem with DS1 and even though the milk wasn’t technically bad, he wouldn’t drink it. I found I had to freeze milk the same day and use it within 2 weeks or no go. I tried scalding the milk once which can get rid of the excess lipase but I stuffed it up lol and just resigned myself to only being able to keep milk frozen for two weeks max.

I feel bad that I can't seem to stay caught up here. Sorry. 😕 Lots of hugs to all those struggling with toddlers. It's such a difficult age in and of itself, but even more so with a new baby in the mix. I'm right there with you all. ❤ DD2 got a bad sinus infection this week and is on some strong abx now. R still has thrush, so he's on another round of Diflucan and also got a CBC on Friday (which sucked ). I will get those results on Tuesday and we'll know one way or another if he has Neutropenia like DD2. I'm nervous about it all. I actually got some things accomplished this weekend. It feels good to have my house in order again.

Enjoy your date night and steak!

Had to take my older girl to the weekend clinic to be evaluated for a potential UTI. Left the baby home with dad and some pumped milk to practice with the bottle. Kiddo did ok for his dad. I came home just in time to finish feeding him the last half an ounce. It was a relief that baby took the bottle from me too.

Sorry about the UTI, but glad baby did okay with taking a bottle from both you and your dh.

Thanks for the links gldnbearz! Somehow I hadn't figured out navigating that site very well yet.

Shit few days and nights here. Baby is doing this thing where no matter what time his previous feed was, he wakes at 5:08am and is super awake and pissed off wanting more milk. It’s fine if he’s had a good night wake up wise but totally blows when he hasn’t. Which has been most nights of late. Blah.

I am not sure if this is related to me going back to work tomorrow or what, but the last two nights I have had dreams where L has been left in a stroller in random places (Disney world and a town near where I grew up). These dreams need to stop. I thought I was okay with going back to work...it is only for 2 weeks and then I am on summer break, but I woke up this morning and started getting emotional. Tomorrow is going to be rough.

Tomorrow is going to be rough. I didn’t even think of the going back to work connection, but I’ve also had a couple scary baby dreams in the last few week. They are the worst. I’m sorry you’ve been having them too hopefully the next 2 weeks go by quickly for you!!
