I’ll get it started!
We had a great long weekend away at the cabin and it’s almost weird to be back doing our normal thing, because we don’t usually get that nice of weather for May long and it kind of feels more like summer break right now lol!
But anyway, DD1 has her 3 year checkup and N has her 4 month check later this morning so I’ll be taking the girls up for a city trip. DS is at preschool but has a friend who will take him home for lunch today until I get back.
Have a great day!

I was up coughing all night. Not sure what's going on. My allergies were bad like a week ago and now I'm congested with a dry cough. I'm trying to ignore it but my throat was scratchy all night so I couldn't stop coughing. Luckily I didn't wake the baby.
DH gets home tomorrow night and I can't wait. It's almost an hour round trip for me to take the girls to daycare each morning which is annoying. I work like 2 miles from our house.
My mom is getting ready to head over to the hospital so hopefully there is a good report on my dad this morning.

I’m exhausted. I don’t know what I need to do to make H realize that we have to get to bed earlier. But DS2 woke up in a great mood so that helped.

I'm here, sorry I've been mia. DH had a work trip a couple of weeks ago, and it did not go well on the home front. I've been reading and trying to keep up with everyone in the meantime though.
DD seems to be back to herself after the work trip though, which is wonderful. We had to switch bottles again, which I think was the ticket to getting her back to rights. She is now eating 5-7oz 5ish times a day, every 4hrs and sleeping 6+ hours a stretch at night. Last night was unheard of with an 11 hr sleep! It was a wonderful anniversary present, although I'm sure it won't happen again for ages.
We had a good long weekend here with amazing weather - shorts in May!!! Patio supper on Friday, the wildlife park Saturday, a Sunday full of activities for DS, and a warm holiday Monday for planting and baking rhubarb cake.

Good morning! I'm off work today b/c I have an allergist appt so I decided to make a day of it and just stay home with the baby. I probably should take the opportunity to clean our porch and then we can use it! I love having dinner out there in the summer. There is a ceiling fan out there too which helps move the air even when it is crazy hot. I'm trying V out in the swaddle up blanket now for a nap, anyone use it? I chickened out on trying it last night for a nap. I think I'm taking a week off of exercising, just to rest and then I'll get back at it next week! I've been doing really well with getting 3 runs in (about 12 mpw) and 3 yoga sessions at least per week. I'm still losing about a pound a week so I'll take it. 35 lbs down, 20 to go. I want to get down to at least 140 while nursing and then more like 135 for long term. Then all my clothes should fit again!!! sarahh, I'm glad to hear the surgery went well!! kbw, my DH tends to stay up late and then regrets it. I still go to bed early! I think he was going to proposition me last night at like 9:30 so I was all "oh I better get to sleep" and turned the light off quickly. If you want any action, it is going to have to happen earlier!! sparky85, rhubarb cake sounds delicious! tiffrobot, good luck with the appts!

You know how I complained about my supply yesterday? I decided to eat like a third of a loaf of banana bread last night and my pumps today have been better. Extra calories for the win! Obviously I can't keep that approach up but for today I'll take it.

Hi all! I’m here. I have been crazy busy so I haven’t been posting much. G has her speech eval yesterday. Then I went to PA for a concert with my friend. We had a ball and I stayed over night. Then we went to breakfast this morning and now I am home. The baby is napping. G is not. Tonight I have my brother’s award ceremony and I have to work. I need a nap. Lol

Obviously I can't keep that approach up but for today I'll take it. I definitely notice a drop in supply when I don't eat extra calories! I am embarrassed to say how many calories I eat a day while breastfeeding because I know you are supposed to only need a few hundred more, but I find if I eat less than 2200-2300 a day I'm starving and my supply drops! I try to keep them mostly healthy calories and I'm pretty close to pre-pregnancy weight, so I guess it's just what my body needs? It feels crazy to have to eat that many though and I am very worried about how I'm going to go back to my normal eating habits once I'm done, lol! I don't think I'll be one of the people that magically loses weight when they are done breastfeeding

pinkcat, I feel like I'm taking in a ton of calories too and still (slowly) losing weight. I feel like I snack all day and then eat a huge dinner but I'm starving again before bed. It is definitely nice for now but yes, it will be hard to go back to "normal" eating when we're done breastfeeding! Or when BFing less.

I am just trying to enjoy it now because I know I will be sad when I can't eat like this anymore, ha ha!

I've been either BFing or pregnant since December 2014 so normal eating with be interesting. I eat so much when BFing.

I think my coworkers get a kick out of how much I snack now with bf/pumping. I rarely ate snacks before. Now my water intake could be better.

Hey, y'all! DS1 started hyperbaric oxygen treatments yesterday so that consumes half of our day now. It's not the best having to be in a hospital waiting room with baby (and they are renovating the floor where the chamber is so we are not even in the better waiting room I'm used to), but I found some empty workout rooms that I'm hoping I can keep sneaking into to workout while baby chills in the stroller or on a blanket. My mom is staying with us now (she goes in the chamber with DS), so it's nice to have her helping with chores and just an extra hand with the baby. Not looking forward to his upcoming surgery on June 4th.
