thatgirlrachel Still praying for your FIL - hope things continue to improve/stabilize. Also, yay for your DAT purchase! I hope it works out for you. It is such a lifesaver for me. Wish it had been around when DS1 was a baby. Lemme know if it works for you!

Pedi appointment this morning. L is well above birth weight (7.9 to 7.15!). He wanted to eat while we were there, so he slept through boob group. It was nice to chat with other moms, but I would have liked to work on our latch. Oh well, I have an appointment wth the hospital LC on Monday morning. Poor leftie is still challenging us.
MIL rode down with DH's aunt, so she doesn't have a car. She rode in the middle seat squeezed between the car seats where we don't have the seat belt attached. WTF When I said something she goes, "well that's what I do in West Virginia" (where her other son and DIL live). Ok? You can be unsafe and illegal with them, but I won't have you becoming a projectile around my kids. Fucking rent a car or drive yourself. Ugh.

I have a dear diary post. Feel free to ignore if it's too long to read.
I have made a decision with myself that I want to stop BFing and get DS regulated on formula by the time I go back to work. There are several reasons that I want to go this route. I feel a lot of relief having made the decision which lets me know I made the right one. It's hard because going into this pregnancy I said I hoped to last longer than I did with DD (1 month). But I know that I gave him over a month of great nutrition and that at the end of the day, fed is best.
So that's my diary post for the day.

thatgirlrachel I am glad you are at peace with your decision, and you have a very healthy attitude. You are a great mom, and like you said, are keeping your baby well fed - that is the most important thing. Big hugs. š¤

thatgirlrachel I completely agree with Taitai. It's so hard to make a decision like that and I'm glad you're happy with what you decided. That can be a big weight off and now you can focus on other things.

Guys, we won the game tonight. So. Another week of football. Another week of mostly solo parenting. I had grand visions of getting back to normal this weekend but now DH will be working.
I know it is just one more week. I can do it. But dang. We were not projected to win. Very excited for DH. Just....ugh. I'm tired.

You are taking care of yourself and your baby. THAT is what is important. You have to be able to take care of him and to do so, you have to care for yourself. Big big hugs!! |
