I'll get a picture later but K is 8 months old today! Today also marks my mental milestone where I'm accepting I need to introduce formula. My mind struggles with it but lower anxiety is worth it since my production has taken a major blow. In other news.... I'm trying to figure out how to professionally respond to a student who's blaming me for her bad final paper grade because my extra assistance obviously wasn't clear enough and she doesn't think it's fair. I really want to be snippy but I know that's not the answer.

Don’t mind if I do! DD1 making baby laugh on our trip last week DD2 turned 8 months a few days ago 😢 And I’m so proud of DD2. There was a kids area on top of the mountain last week and she wanted to do the zip line. She barely made the cutoff for weight but got to do it! DH walked her up to the top and left her so he could watch and she still did it! I thought for sure she would try to back out.

jessijean take it easy on yourself! Don't look at it like I had to switch to formula at 8 months, look at it like she had breastmilk for 8 months! As mothers we do the best we can.

Hi! It's crazy with my new job but I'm so excited for it.it'll be a rough few weeks though.. Here are my pics! O with mashed potatoes and ground beef Costco run before a party (which is why they're dressed up) I'm pretty sure she'll be crawling in the next month. My older was already crawling and cruising by this age so I'm just going with the flow for O! Any other pumping mama's get a tingle in their back while pumping? So weird!

I found out today our daycare is likely closing. I'm beyond devastated and have been crying all afternoon. It's extremely rare to find part time infant care so I'm screwed. My boys LOVE her and her kids.

I know I haven't been around much lately, so I apologize if this seems like a drive-by. I'm just desperate for as many prayers/good vibes as possible. My dad has been having bad neck pain. They finally did a CT scan and it revealed a large tumor on his neck. It has eaten away at his vertebrae so his spinal cord is exposed. Some type of cancer. He's having full body scans today and will have a biopsy tomorrow. He is looking at months in the hospital as he cannot leave until his neck is reconstructed since he could paralyze himself with a wrong move. The cancer and tumor will have to be dealt with first. He had kidney cancer 11 years ago so this could be a recurrence of that or myeloma or something else. We are shocked and devastated. Thanks for any positivity and prayers you can send our way. Sorry I haven't been around much.

Thanks guys. She's not starting her new job until Oct 1 and said she's still home in the morning and would take them until I found something. We have a couple interviews next week but the center we wanted has a wait list 23 kids deep and costs $600 more than our current place equaling 3/4 of my salary.
