Where did you get measured tgrimes ?? I just always buy 34A... 🤷🏼♀️ That's what I always did too! I went to victoria's secret and got measured. Last week the lady measured me at a 32C. But when the bras came in I didn't think they fit correctly. I went in the store today and another lady helped me. She actually came in the dressing room with me to check the fit. Apparently the bras I ordered tend to run small so I should definitely get those in a 32D, which they ordered for me. She said sometimes it just depends on the style of bra. I may need a 32C in a different style so i should always try them on.

xolastunicornxo it’s hard for all of us- no matter the situation. Four kids is a lot. But you’ve got it. When I’m having bad days I think about all I’ve done and all my successes as a parent and it helps me feel more confident. Like, I can actually have it all together without actually having it all together. If that makes sense. Hang in there! -snip - This is good advice. MH left for 2 months when B was 3 months old and S had just turned 3. He was mostly unaccessable during that time. And that was the height of B not sleeping at all. It was hands down the hardest 2 months of my life. Just figuring out how to bathe them both was almost impossible for me. When things are hard, I always think back to that time and think, if I made it through that, I can make it through anything.

My kids are both silent and looking verrrrrry sleepy while sitting in their AC's watching Disney Jr. We went to the park, stopped for a milkshake, and then came home and DH was just starting to cut the grass, so we played outside while he did that. 4+ hours outdoors...they'd better sleep well tonight! I hope this weather will last.

Hi all! peachsmama, I hope it went well today! Happy birthday, @mrskatiep! I used the medela PISA for all three babies, dapostrophe. Totally my recommendation. I let down really well for it. cagoldi, I missed P's homecoming! You've got this, mama. TV is your friend. We're staying busy over here. The big one graduates in less than two months, and I'm in denial even though I'm constantly doing stuff for it. I've started the process to become a photographer for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. I've always been interested, but since the miscarriage it's seemed like a good way to honor our little ones' memories while helping families on their darkest day. We have no active photographers in our area, so there's a real need. I probably won't focus on the next few steps until after J's graduation, but I'm excited to have the process moving along.

Jackson took A3 hour nap and I had to wake him up very abruptly to run to the bank and go get Peach. But he was very good and is now playing in the sandbox with his brother and R while I make some muffins that M demanded for breakfast in the morning.
It's a crazy 80 degrees! I didn't actually believe it when I read the weather forecast and I did not meal plan for a hot day. So unfortunately I'll be making pasta while everyone plays outside.

My husbands flight was delayed again. An hour. So now he will be home at 10:30 instead of 9:30....... I am always asleep or at least in bed trying to sleep before then. This sucks. 👎🏼

My massage today was amazing! And as soon as she started I felt a pop in my back and she said “oh my - you had a rib out of place”. Did not know that. But instantly felt better. My left shoulder blade area still hurts, but the massage helped. It was the mom of a former student so I got to hear all about him and his success in life at the young ago of 23...and I gotta say...I’m a bit jealous. He’s doing really well for himself fresh out of engineering school.
Then I went back to work to find out all hell broke loose. We had super high winds and one of our historic buildings burned down along with lots of acres of the woods surrounding it.

I’m glad you’re in less pain lfig. Happy Birthday mskatiep! The dust settled at work a bit leaving me to unearth my desk. It worked for 10 hours straight with one quick walk for a snack and i headily made a dent. My brain is friend. Tomorrow I plan to take C to school, go to breakfast, watch trashy tv, nap, then run. If I have free time I’ll change out my area rug but I don’t want to put pressure on myself😉

He's doing so great! Are they still wanting to do weight checks a few times a week? To answer your question from the other day, the pedi doesn't need to see her more often since she's gaining so well thus far. Unless we need to take her in for some reason, she just has her regular well check at two months.

Well I parented like a boss tonight. There was minimal arguing amongst the boys and I fed P while sitting in the bathroom supervising Dude and X in the tub. Everything went great except for one small outburst from Dude when he was asked to share a toy.
Sigh of relief.
I have so few days when I feel like I'm nailing this Mom thing but this was one of them.

cagoldi sorry about the reflux, but it sounds like you’re killing it as a mom of 3!! sands42 ugh I’m sorry about your dh’s flight. Did you say he has to leave the next morning? Dh won’t be home till probably 10:30 tomorrow night and I’m bummed/annoyed. I can’t imagine if he was leaving again right away.

So my FIL called tonight to say he was sorry about Charlie. Of course all three boys were yelling/fighting in the background, C was crying and I started crying when he talked about Charlie.
I’m wondering if he’s calling cps to rescue his poor grandkids. 🤷🏼♀️

The pedi doesn't need to see him until his 2mo appointment, but we will still have a nurse come to the house a few times a week just for weight checks. I'm surprised since he is gaining so well!
