Leaf 🌱 leatherpants I’ve noticed the same thing about my supply this time around too. Mine took a hard hit when I returned to work and pretty much every day is a struggle now. I notice a difference based on water intake, what I eat, pretty much everything.

Also hi. I’ve been checking in but haven’t been posting. Everyone in my house has been sick for like 2 weeks and I’m so over it. It’s been pretty miserable around here and I’ve just had zero energy.

Did everyone Trick or Treat with their kids? We went last night and DS1 had so much fun!! The baby was not impressed.

[mintyblueair]

I took my 2 year old trick or treating for the first time last night. We didn't go far but it was so much fun! And we had good weather, which is rare here.

He wore the costume my mom made for me when I was 2 (except the hat is different)! I didn't dress up and I didn't get a costume for N, oops.

Poof

Here are my little loves:

[leatherpants]

L loved ToT so much this year and lasted so much longer than last year! I had the boys dressed up as Dash and Jack Jack but had to put the lion on B because it was pretty chilly. He did really well for it being late and he’s teething hard and has been generally cranky the last couple of days. Halloween magic that he was content the whole 2 hours.
*poof

haha thanks! And I’m sorry you’re having the same temperamental supply. It’s annoying AF. I’m struggling with wanting to stop. I know I’ll regret it but I would really like to drop 20lbs and stop pumping at work. I know those are legit reasons but they feel selfish.

FWIW I think pumping for any bit of time is like superhero shit. I’ve hated every minute of pumping and it always impresses me that people do it while working for any length of time. You should’ve heard me bitch about it at home when I had to do it for like a month once a day.

So none of that seems selfish to me.

I for real would quit if I had to pump. I hate pumping so much. I think you’re a super hero for doing it.

But if you’re done you’re done. No shame in the feeding your kid game.

We took the kids tot last night. J fell asleep in the stroller. We didn’t stay out long because it started pouring.

[Leaf 🌱]

Thanks y’all. I think we’ll try adding a bottle of formula in here and there and see how I feel about it. As you pointed out, no shame in the baby feeding game.

I also want to be clear that I am only talking about myself and my feelings about my current BFing experience. I love and support whatever choice is best for you and DGAF how you feed your baby.... unless it’s whole grapes. I will die on a hill over feeding babies whole grapes 😉

[clementine]

We took L out to see a few neighbors last night. He wasn’t sure what to think. He did enjoy examining the pumpkin though.

Poof

[polson]

h took dd1 out last night. she wasn’t too interested in going to many houses...just wanted to get home to eat her candy after a few. this was from sunday at my ils. side note - h and i just put it together that the girls were dressed as each other😂 (dd1 was “purple” and dd2 was a bee which is dd1’s nickname)

[mrsmonogrammed]

We went ToTing yesterday for over 2 hours! O was so good- he slept the first 1/2 hour, was content in the stroller the next hour, and then fell back asleep in the Tula for the last 45 minutes or so😊 thank goodness he was so easy going because C was so much more in to ToTing this year!
2 costumes this year (because I’m partly crazy🙃)

[clementine]

I love all the costumes! And all these babies are looking so big! How?!

[auri]

mrsmonogrammed I love the League of her Own costumes!

clementine I don’t know when these babies got so big. Next thing we know we’re going to be planning 1st bday parties! 😭

[alwayscheese]

OMG the cute babies! And your big ones too.

Thanks for the wishes for tomorrow. I don't think I am nervous except about what I'll say coming out of anesthesia. The last two nights I've had awful dreams and one of them was after I had apparently done something horrific so o hope that doesn't carry over. 😳

We survived making over 100 quarts of applesauce yesterday and today I did a cleaning job in the afternoon then came home and meal prepped two different meal bowls so we have food for tonight, DH's lunch and some of the weekend while I'm recovering.

[whatsit]

Ahhh!!! mrsmonogrammed a rockford peach! Amazing!

We survived an hour of Treating last night. It was a bit too cold. G still gots loads of candy and we hit less than 10 houses.

[snowmoon]

I took both kids ToTing myself because SO was working late. We survived. Big kid had fun after his anxiety waned after the first few houses.

[leatherpants]

Babies in kids costumes is my kryptonite. I can’t even handle it.

[leatherpants]

That baby baseball is making me ovulate.

[polson]

alwayscheese hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow!

[polson]

also how many kit kats are too many kit kats? just wondering

[mintyblueair]

alwayscheese , I was worried about that too when I had my surgery a couple weeks ago! I remember waking up and having a very strong urge to start blabbering about the dream I was having, but I was too fucking tired and my throat hurt so I didn't.

Right before I fell asleep the nurse was like, "OK now it's time to think about something nice" and the anesthesiologist was like, "Donald Trump muahahahahaha!" That's the last thing I remember, but thankfully the dream I woke up from had nothing to do with Trump lol.

I agree do what’s best for you. I’ve been having the same internal debate because pumping at work is sooooo hard and I’m really beginning to resent it. I’m not quite ready to give up yet but I dream of the day I don’t have to do it anymore.

And of course the best baby is a fed baby. How doesn’t matter.

[sunshinedaisies]

mrsmonogrammed I’m dying over the league of their own outfits!!! So cute!

alwayscheese good luck tomorrow!

Seriously how did our babies all get so big???

I had two outfits for L - one to match DS1 for the AM and then his night outfit. Couldn’t help it. I didn’t get a picture of them together so sorry for the picture overload.

Poof

The limit does not exist.
