Awesome! I actually stopped pumping just after 11 months with B for the same reason and did not give him formula. I did milk at day care and breast fed him when we were together. My dr was totally fine with it, as long as he was still getting some breast milk and he was eating solids. Obviously I’m not a dr and you should check with yours, but it was great for us and I didn’t have to introduce formula just to take it away. Also, I only gave him milk in a sippy so I never had to ‘take away’ the bottle

Good luck trtlcrzy! That sounds fun! Happy Birthday guster! tgrimes I hope they get you in soon! And fight the urge to wipe up any of the nasty goop coming from his ear and draining on his shirt. That way they actually see how bad it is.

Morning! We are having a crawfish boil tonight. And it is supposed to rain all evening. So MH is going to move the 2 boats and his truck out from under our 3 slot carport and we will party under there and in the house. I need to go home at lunch and try to do some last minute cleaning.
I am stressing out a bit about Day Care. Yesterday I found out that S can no longer be in the 0-24 month room. Which I am fine with because when we initially moved her there I was a bit apprehensive about it but I understood where the director was coming from and the reasoning behind it along with the potential good it could do. But state licensing came in and said she has to be in a room with her peers. The problem is, that means that there is 12 kiddos and 1 teacher. The other problem is that the 4 year old room is not licensed for diapering. So as of May 11, S will be jumping from the 0-24 month room to the 4 year old room. The teacher is the director and she is concerned about not being able to give everyone, S and her peers, all of what she needs to because of Sierra's needs. So she is talking to the licensing office again today to try and get some more clarification on what we can and can't do. But without a personal aide, it is going to be difficult. I am worried she is going to tell me she can't accommodate us anymore. But I know she is trying everything she can to figure out a way to make this work. And she probably will...but I am stressing over it anyway. Just 1 more year till Kindergarten and she will then be in the public school and they will provide her an aide then.

On another unrelated note....Last night I asked MH what he wanted for our anniversary tomorrow (15 years!). He said "a trip to Fiji". Perfect, Done! So we have made our already planned trip in Oct our anniversary gift to each other. Lol. Then I told him I bought myself my birthday gift (which is Sunday) on Zuliliy the other day so he was off the hook for that. Haha. It is a Dooney and Burke purse and wallet. We have to be the most unromantic couple ever when it comes to this stuff. But we pretty much get what we want when we want it so it makes gift giving hard.

Took a culture of the fluid, suctioned out both ears & his nose. For now, he prescribed augmentin & we continue with the ear drops.
If the culture comes back as a super bug, we change meds and see how he does. If it’s a normal virus, we’re on the schedule for May 22 to remove adenoids & put more tubes in.

Now I’m taking H to daycare, then driving out to work. My tire was flat this morning so MH filled it up. There’s a huge nail in it so I need to get it fixed.
Always something. 🙄

Morning! Just got some things at Fresh Market (if I ever hit the lotto I will shop there exclusively) and am now sitting outside the grocery store with the other peasants working on my list while C car-naps. I’m hosting the squadron wives this Friday night for our monthly get-together. I’m going to do a casual dinner party. I’ve got the menu figured out and I think I can make, or at least prep, all the food tomorrow. How much wine should I get? It’s 8 or 9 ppl total. I typically plan for about 1-1.5 bottles per person depending on the crowd and situation.

lfig I'd be stressed too. It sounds like your director is doing everything she can, so hopefully she can work something out with the state. tgrimes 5/22? That's so far away! Fingers crossed no more sickness between now and then. And fuck flat tires.

Also, I only gave him milk in a sippy so I never had to ‘take away’ the bottle That's good to hear. I started supplementing a few months ago..my supply seemed to dip a little every month right before AF and then would never fully recover. I debated buying one more can of formula but so far she is tolerating it. I'm still amazed that nursing on the weekends works when not pumping M-F. Did you run into any issues? Smart idea with the sippy...i haven't really tried with A yet . I quit pumping just after 11 months and breastfed when together (before bed and in the morning during the week, and really the same plus 1 or 2 more times during the weekend). I slwly weaned other sessions till I was down to 1 per day at almost 16 months with no problem before we stopped. With S, my supply dipped severely around 7 months and I stopped pumping at 8 months (obviously supplementing with formula that time) and I kept breastfeeding when together till almost a year. I know not everyone is able to do that, but I had no problems. And as to the sippy, I know a lot of people here did this too, but I started with the NUBY sippy that's a lot like a bottle and it was such an easy transition with both kids. Good luck!

Ugh, lfig, sorry for the stress. I hope the director is able to figure something out or y'all can come up with a good plan B. Is transitioning to the 3's class not an option, so there wouldn't be so much of a jump and maybe ratios would be less than 1:12?

I had been thinking like half a dozen, lol. wineallthetime not everyone drinks like you, me and tgrimes. :-) Although I agree with the 1-1.5 bottles per person. Some will drink none or maybe 1 glass, others, like me, could drink the entire bottle to themselves, given the opportunity.

Happy birthday guster!! Hope it’s a great day! tgrimes, you need to catch a freaking break!! I hope he’s over all of this soon. I like your style wineallthetime. That’s how much I would have on hand too, but like mwhip said, not everyone is like us . flamingo, if it’s just a casual dinner with not big drinkers, 6 bottles would be plenty.

Hi! First time checking in too. I’ve been busy at work trying to get everything done before I leave in 10 minutes. About to head home and finish packing up, get the kids from daycare and drop them off at my parents and then we’ll head to the airport.
Our friends are on a different flight than us and get in 2 hours later than us tonight. So dh and i will be drinking and the airport bar until they land. Ha.
