Tonight is the first night of both arms out of the swaddle. Wish me luck! Good luck!! Our first night went a lot easier than I expected, I hope the same holds true for you! We had a couple additional wake ups but it wasn't horrible. I am hoping he gets used to it over the next few days and goes back to two wake ups. Obviously I want him to STTN but I will take what I can get right now.

And for my baby to sleep while not touching me. This is my life during the day. He will go down. At night but refuses during the day. We both are so hot when I am wearing him but he will sleep for over a hour. Put him in our bedroom with AC and he is awake within minutes. Also, a spa day would be amazing but I can't even get to the dentist at this point.

The baby has spots on her face around her mouth. It’s too much to hope it’s just drool related, isn’t it? We are fucked. I just can’t.

snowmoon I will take a spa day too. ArielMermaid sorry about the HFM The last few days have been a whirlwind. We decided we are going to move. We are staying in the same town, but to a house that is hopefully in a location we like better. Also, one that has at least three bedrooms on the same floor. So, we have been decluttering/packing and cleaning. They came and took photos of the house for the listing today. It is not an urgent move so we won’t move until after we accept an offer on our current house. Also, I have a major WTF work. At the end of last school the schedule showed that we were only working two days our first week back (Monday and Thursday). We got our beginning of school year packet a few days ago and they added Wednesday as a work day. Our administration has been so terrible at communicating things to us it is frustrating. Thankfully I have a enough time to add that day as a daycare day, but still ugh.

I’m going with drool rash, ArielMermaidI hate pumping. I hate having to calculate every ounce I’m barely getting to make sure she has the minimum needed for her bottles. This decrease is happening way too fast and she will be supplemented soon - NBD, really. I just worry it’ll end our nursing like it did her sister. She’s not even 4 months old.... gah.

Pumping at work is no joke and the ounce anxiety sucks😒 I tried out Legendairy Milk’s Milkapalooza and have seen an increase in my pump output. JIC you’re interested and want to try them, I think you can use code “Instagram” for 10% off!

It’s my birthday today! And in total mom fashion, we spent it at the zoo😂 it was O’s first time and both kids did great! And this morning we went to my FIL’s last chemo/radiation treatment. Him and DD got to ring the bell. There were lots of tears, tbh. Such a good day of celebrations though!

Pumping at work is the worst. I’m dreading it, as it’s really hard in a school as breaks are set and short (and I have playground duty to work around) also here, pumping at work isn’t a thing in schools. Most teachers are finished BF when they return to work, so there are no pumping rooms or extra pump breaks. The “law” says I’m entitled to ask for both but at my school there is literally no space that is free. I’m not sure what I’ll do or how to broach it with my boss (who is great but gives me a lot already letting me work part time and leave “early” so I can get to daycare).
A colleague last year pumped in the disabled bathroom (where students who are in nappies get changed). I’m not doing that. Nope nope nope.

I just ordered matching Christmas PJs for me, MH, and L! H was... less than excited, but he’s being a good sport. I love Christmas jammies and I’m excited to start this tradition.

Whyyyyyy is L waking up so early? He usually eats around 2 or 3 MOTN and then always slept until I woke him up at 6:15 to nurse and leave for daycare. The past few days he’s woken up at 4:45-5 and is wide awake. He’ll nurse and then acts fussy like he’s still tired but won’t go back to sleep until we’re in the car. It’s really screwing with my morning routine and getting ready for work.

It’s World Breastfeeding Week so I get to wear a WBW T-shirt and jeans to work today🙌🏻 (I’m a social worker at a WIC clinic, so v. pro breastfeeding).

Love those clementine!! That pic reminds me that I think I have a pair of those for DD for this winter! We got them on clearance at target last year for $3. I’ll have to get O a matching pair- did you just order from Burt’s Bees?

Ugh I'm tired. We got home from our camping trip after 1 this morning. I tried to sleep in but either DS or DH kept waking me up. When I finally put DS in his crib for a nap I was actually able to fall asleep and then DH woke me even though I'd told him I needed to sleep since I'd been awake for hours. When I got up and complained he caught on how tired I was and sent me back to bed but of course I couldn't sleep so now I just feel gross. 😴

Hello old friends! I have been creepily stalking posts today in my free time -that I am supposed to be using to get some work done but oh well. Its been forever but I wanted to pop in and say hiiiiiiii and see how everyone was doing. I think about you all often but then get in my head like, I have been gone for so long, how do I just drop back in at this point? But here I am Time has flown and I am about to have a 6 month old. I can't believe how old all the babies are!!

clementine, currently sitting next to me in a puddle of her own drool/snot. Chewing on things that aren't meant to be chewed on. Lol. But really mostly she is great! She is rolling all over the place, sitting up, babbling, letting me sleep for the most part. No longer destroying my nipples... though I fear what will come when she gets teeth. Overall she is very happy How is your little guy?

DS was in a sad mood this morning. He just seemed really down and was extra huggy when I dropped him off at camp. DH and I have been talking a lot lately, we just feel like he isn't the happy silly boy he used to be. He turned 6 this summer and he just seems weighed down with trying to fit in, not getting in trouble, and thinking about big things like death and loss. He is so young for this. I'm thinking about taking him out for some special one on one time this weekend. There is a pick your own farm near us and blueberries, flowers and potatoes are all harvesting right now. I'm sure he would think it was so fun to dig potatoes for a bit, hehe. We could also go to see Christopher Robin together.

Sick now, so I feel you on the snot and drool, but he’s as happy as ever! I’m a little nervous for teeth as well, especially since he’s already sometimes clamping down while nursing and it hurts even without teeth!

Hugs for your DS calendula. Those sound like tough things for a 6 year old. I’m sure some one-on-one time would be helpful! Seeing Christopher Robin sounds fun - I want to see it myself!

calendula I think one on one time sounds awesome! How hard it must be to be a 6 yr old trying to navigate the world. And it must break your poor mama heart. I'm not looking forward to this stage one day. Digging potatoes sounds perfect for a little boy
