2 days until I'm back to work. I'm so freaking depressed. J woke up twice last night and pounded a bottle both times which is unusual. But then he slept until 7 so who knows. I had book club brunch this morning which was really fun. I hosted and made apple coffee cake, peach crumblebars, pumpkin pie crescents, mini quiche, and fruit salad with mojito dressing.

It's our anniversary today! We weren't really in the mood to celebrate (now we never really celebrate big anyway), but did have pie heh. My sister and her oldest (5.5) visited and J. helped us make the pie, which was a lot of fun and a great way to sidetrack my mind for a bit.
Also, my MIL had her appointment with the oncologist today. All things considered it was okay news. There are no metastases (as far as they can tell), which is a HUGE relief and even though it'll be a pretty big surgery they do feel it's treatable. So next up will be surgery and chemo. We don't know yet whether chemo will be before or after surgery, or both- she will be getting more info on the treatement later this week.

I feel bad for DD it’s her bday and she seems to be having a rough day. Also switched to sippy cups only a few days ago and she’s not a fan We are trying milk in sippy cup after first nap and J is pissed about it.

The weather forecast for this weekend sucks. OFCOURSE! We have had a summer full of heatwaves and loads of sunshine, but of course the weekend I planned to celebrate my daughters first birthday outside in the garden the weather forecast is miserable chilly weather (high 60s which I know isn't cold but it IS after having had ~90F all summer!) and RAIN! AAAARGH

muscari ! Huge relief there is no metastasis for your MIL. I hope the treatment plan kicks cancers butt 🧡 And of course I’m sorry about the bad weather forecast. Stinks. I hope it changes and it’s a beautiful 75/80 sunny day. It’s pouring rain here today and I pinched a nerve in my back so we are not doing a lot today. At least N had a good night sleep and a good nap! We are going to try WCM this afternoon! Crazy stuff haha.

@easilyunamused 🙄 so my plan was to dilute WCM with BM but dh just gave him 3 oz of WCM only and he pounded it back in like two minutes. Lol. 😭 he doesn't care about no BM in it.
He also gave it to him in a bottle which I’m like 😒 no! Sippy cup! And dh was like “I’m not ready for him to not drink milk not in a bottle...” 😏 I let him do the bottle today bc ... feels...
I think my kid is just a fatty that loves food no matter what.

Am I weird (and/or wrong) for only having given D. water in her 360 cup so far?? She still nurses x times a day so I think she doesnt need cows milk just yet, right?

I haven’t given A anything but water yet either and he still nurses the same amount as before. I’m going out of town this weekend and leaving the baby with MH, so he wants to see how he does with whole milk before I go. Otherwise I wouldn’t do it right now.

I have quite a stash of bm in the freezer so we won't need to make the switch just yet. Plus i plan on bfing for a bit longer anyway. Will you bring a pump? I had hoped to stop pumping the day she is at dc but my boob didnt agree boo.

We haven’t tried to give him a bottle for at least 4 months, so I’m not sure if he’ll take one at this point.

D. hasn't been keen on her bottle lately either but when I pump I just can't make myself dump.. so I just add another bag to the freezer stash lol.

R is back using a bottle for milk - I just started it last night. It was a struggle getting her to drink 3oz of milk at a time out of the sippy cup. She’d keep wiggling and wanting to get down. So, I’m trying to get her used to milk with the bottle then work the milk back in.

Happy birthday to M! @starzia I’m glad the news was more promising for your MIL muscari. Praying she kicks cancer’s ass So far I’ve given her a few tastes of WCM but I’m still pumping and BF so haven’t really been giving her much besides that. I think my plan will be just give her what I’m pumping in bottles or nurse her but do WCM in a cup too and see how it goes. They don’t actually need the milk if they are getting calcium elsewhere, water is fine for fluids.

Also my boobs weren’t working today so that’s probably a sign to drop to 1 pump instead of 2, lol.

We started J on milk at 11 months because it was clear he was ready, the boy has all his teeth except the canines. We gave it to him straight with no transition and he was fine.

Happy birthday to your DD @starzia, and DS addymac, and DD cali ! Happy anniversary muscari, I'm glad your MIL outlook is good muscari I'm worried about the rain for J's birthday party this weekend! What is going on with the weather?? addymac I hope you feel betterm ouch! As for WCM-J likes it jssut fine. I did 1 oz milk to 4 oz formula for a few days, then half and half, now I'm on our last container of formula so sometimes I do half and half and sometimes it's just WCM. Unfortunately it's from a bottle because he's mad about the cup. Ive been a baking and craft machine this weekend. I made apple coffee cake, peach crumble bars, and egg cups for book club today. Then I baked cookies for favors for J's party this weekend. I started decorating them tonight. Then I finished his banner, the cupcake toppers, rolled the silverware, and worked on treat favor bags. Unfortunately I stuck my arm on the glue gun and have a huge red blister on my elbow that really hurts.

Oh rain you say? We had a monsoon make an appearance at M’s party Saturday. This did not bode well with 30 people, about 12 of them kids in a small ranch house 😬. Of course Sunday’s weather was stellar 😂
