Thanks peachsmama and jewels! Wrangling 2 kids makes we want a nightly glass of something! Hell, M's moods alone drives me to drink. I don't know what switch flipped after he turned 3, but I would like someone to flip it back so I can have my sweet boy again. Eta: and nam2013!

lahdeedah have a glass... or a few! I also abide by "if I'd drive a car, I can feed the baby." The amount of alcohol that actually gets into your milk is minimal, you'd have to drink a lot for enough to be present to affect the baby. I never tested and basically the only time I didn't nurse is if I was having a heavy night of drinking.

Feeling lazy. Still haven't decided what to make for tomorrow.
I had the bright idea that I'd save myself some time by asking Costco to make their pasta salad but leave out the chicken. Nope. It all comes pre-packaged so they can't do that...

Just got back from buying some maternity work clothes. I hate them. Pretty sure 1 pair of what I'm going to use as pants are actually suppose to be pajamas. I have never been pregnant when needing winter maternity stuff. Summer was much easier.

I also attempted to buy DD shorts she can wear to school. She won't wear anything with buttons or snaps but shorts have to be knee length. I used to just do dresses but now she won't wear those either. She's tall and thin so all the ones that fit her waist are too short on her legs.

That would've been tough for me to resist the rose lahdeedah!

jewels , any chance of an ear infection? Can you prop the crib up on one side and see if it helps? It's possible - he did have some fluid in his ears at his 1 yr appt but she said no infection. But I can't prop up the crib b/c he's ALL over his crib all not so at some point he will be on a reverse incline But maybe if tonight I give him tylenol before bed it will help.

I'm getting a pedicure and the lady next to me has a glass of rosè that looks so refreshing. I resisted the urge to day drink. Breastfeeding mamas... what is the rules for drinking? Like after what amount should I test my milk? 1 glass? I can go look it up, but I figured you all would know. You can nurse if you can drive.

I didn't get up to run this morning so thought about doing it now before the kids come home from daycare. Instead, I opened a bottle of wine and am enjoying a silent house for another hour. It's perfection.

I went and picked up my car! Of course it started raining on the way there so I was being rained on while switching car seats over. Oh well, I'm still excited!

That's annoying kim22. It's hard to find knee-length shorts even for shorter legs let alone longer ones. Especially since there's so much difference between booty shorts and shorts above the knee.

I wish my maternity leave started now so I could adopt a dog from Texas. I keep getting stuff on Facebook about all the dogs that arrived in NJ today.

I'm just a tad jealous after dealing with my car issues.😉 Got my eye on something that I will have to save a bit more for before I add a car note to our budget.

We were promised a picture of the cake machine, csho . She has to take the picture and then plug the camera into her home computer to download it. Give her time! (I'm not even sure if I'm joking about this process!) Yes, this is not an exaggeration. If I want "nice" pictures I use our old digital camera to take photos then plug it into our home computer to download before sharing with friends and family.

Car payments suck when your current vehicle is paid off. Did you get yours back finally?

Mature/senior dog! Do it! Monday-Wednesday-Friday no one will be home from 7-7 for the next 3 months We adopted my dog at 1.5 years old (we now think he was older) and he could go 12 hours or more from the start before he even asked to go out. He's a lab/husky mix. You could still get one!

jewels - I was thinking EI, too. We tried sleep training Chase and sometimes it was fine but other nights he could cry forever. EI every freaking time! And then they never stopped. Poor kiddo didn't start sleeping regularly until about a week after getting tubes. I don't miss that!

My manager told us we could leave anytime after 3 today. I was swamped and didn't leave until 4:55, which to be fair, is still early. I'm supposed to work until 4:30/5, but usually leave around 5:30. Still, I was jealous when other people were leaving.
My race is in the morning! I'm excited. I think. LOL

Thanks, I got all my summer stuff from Gap/Old Navy online. Both just stopped carrying maternity in stores this summer. Their shipping is super slow. Today I went to a Mothehood Maternity inside of Buy Buy Baby. I'm being cheap since this is for sure the last baby for me.

At the dentist yesterday he found a soft spot on my tooth that needs a filling. He said it is not a big deal now but could be if I wait until after the baby. He said novacaine is safe but if I don't want it, I should be fine without it. I have never had a tooth filled. Anyone do that with no drugs?
