I’m starting to finally pack up all the maternity clothes to return to my sister, and i’m also going through my drawers and getting rid of everything that’s old and doesn’t fit right. Which seems to be...everything.
So, some clothes shopping will need to happen soon. Where does everyone buy clothes from these days? I feel like I have trouble dressing my age (31).

I'm home with DS on a pd day from school. We've watched a lot of pay patrol, and he's now building Lego's. DD has caught the cold that has been going around our house, so she's stuffy and coughing a bit. Luckily it doesn't seem to be in her chest, and she's getting better. As for me, it's cd1 fingers crossed that it isn't as cramps and heavy as it was pre pregnancy.

I buy most of my stuff at old navy or winners / marshals. I don't know if I dress my age (32), but I mostly wear jeans with sweaters or dressy tshirt type tops.

I shop at Nordstrom, Target or a couple boutiques in town. I can’t online shop for clothes or shoes. Wish I could but it never seems to work out for me.

Morning! Not much happening here. It's grey and rainy. DD doesn't have school so we don't have to leave the house. The cleaners are coming to do a deep clean and I'm so excited! I would love to hang out with h tonight but it seems that neither of us can hang past 8:30. So that sucks. H has also been staying in the guest room so he can sleep but hopefully tonight and tomorrow night he'll stay in our bed.
Tomorrow I'm going to Nordstrom for new nursing bras. I'm very excited.

Good morning! Last night was tough. I really hope that this isn’t becoming a trend. I need to get up and make coffee. We have to go drop the Jeep off at the dealer for service and I am hoping to stop by chick fil a for breakfast.

bassa now I spend all my money on cute clothes for the kids! I shop at Marshall's, Nordstrom and Nordstrom rack, loft, banana. I'm trying to buy more timeless pieces as I get older.

Good morning ladies! I am tired. Little man slept fine, I have been up since 3 for no reason. Insomnia blows. Right now I am waiting for the bus to drop G off from school. Then it will be lunch and nap. G’s teacher is coming this afternoon. No big plans.

Yay! James gave me an unexpected 1.5 hour nap in the crib this morning!
I was able to fold some laundry, eat breakfast, drink coffee, do our March budget, pay bills and go through some emails!

Moms of girls, my baby smells a little down there. She’s still having some discharge at 5 weeks. I’m wondering if she has a yeast infection. Anyone have experience w this?
Yes, I know you aren’t my doctor.

A perk of being on maternity leave in March is I can watch the Big Ten basketball tournament today and March Madness in a few weeks!!!

Morning! The ILs are here. Predictably, dh’s mom Is already driving him nuts so he’s reverted to grumpy teenager. Good times 🙄 Then DH will head off to work at 3:30 and I’ll be on my own with them. At least we have dinner plans with my family. It’s pouring buckets here.

Little man is still asleep. I am pretty surprised by this. I expected him to wake up about 20 minutes ago. I am sure he will wake up to eat as soon as I go to make G’s lunch.

We're HOME!!!
It's snowing and it's really weird.
My mom made us dinner for tonight and they're basically the best. They brought DD1 and the dog back home for us.
We're ordering pizza for lunch and then I think O and I are gonna nap on the couch while DD takes a nap.

I'm not sure where I'm going to shop but I'm in the same boat. Timeless pieces that are well made and last.

We had newborn pictures this morning, they went well and we got some good shots of the two kids and the four of us too. It was crazy rainy and windy, but we managed it. The in- laws are coming over soon and the. We have another weight check in this afternoon, which I really don’t want to go out for, but it must be done.

My kids are finally napping. We basically spent all morning outside, at the park & then playing in our yard. DD is pooped out but DS for some reason was soooo cranky from about 10-12 today. He is napping now but it won’t last long since he should be getting hungry soon. 🙄 I’m so tired. We will probably go back to the park after DD’s nap & I want to ask H to bring chick fil a home for dinner

Also I’ve realized that the worst part of the day after a no-sleep night is the first half hour of being awake. If I can get my eyes open, my feet on the ground & the hot water going (for my French press) then I feel ok & like I can manage. It’s iudt that first half hour that makes me feel like death.

Ugh our squadron is having a big fancy dinner next week & I thought I didn’t want to go so H didn’t get us tickets but now I’m having major FOMO. Truth is I would be miserable if we went bc it’s like 6 hours of being away from DS and I’d need to pump and it would end up being ridiculously expensive after paying a sitter. I’d be worrying the whole time too bc that’s just a really long time to leave someone with DD and my infant. I think I’m mosrly having FOMO bc a lot of my friends will be there & I haven’t seen them in weeks since I’ve been a hermit since DS was born.

Morning! Currently under a winter storm warning and it sounds like it could go on for the next few days. Boo. But March storms are inevitable, and the saying “in like a lion out like a lamb” or vice versa is almost always white true, so I’d rather just get it over with now if it means spring will be on its way after haha!
It’s my H’s birthday on Monday, so I have to go out to get stuff to bake a cake. Highways permitting, we have a few friends coming over tomorrow for it. We’ll see how bad it gets I guess. Either way I’ll be making him a cake so it doesn’t much matter!
Friday’s are currently the only days where DS doesnt need to get to some sort of scheduled activity, so just trying to chill out at home a bit (haha chill).
Have a good one!

Moms of girls, my baby smells a little down there. She’s still having some discharge at 5 weeks. I’m wondering if she has a yeast infection. Anyone have experience w this? Yes, I know you aren’t my doctor. DD1 used to smell if we didn’t do tubs at least every other day. She was a fat baby though with lots of rolls.

Sick DD is a grump today. She's eating well, and sleeping ok so long as she is on an incline. Her cough now seems raspy/wheezy, so I'm waiting on a call back from the nurses line. Here's the looks she just gave me :

For people that are bottle feeding, at what point did/will you switch to a faster flow nipple?
We are using the Avent bottles and still using nipple #1. I’ve just realized that #2 is meant for one month + and H is 6 weeks. Should I be switching over?

I’d feel the same way except I have a formal dress from my cousin’s wedding— I was 3mo pp from DD — so I know I’d have something to wear I’d feel good in. But the rest would be lame.
