Well I'm still depressed about having to pump/not being able to nurse. I can't snuggle with her nearly as much since I have to pump and was bottles and pump parts all the freaking time.
In positive news, I toured a daycare this morning that I liked. It's in a great location for us and they'll have an opening. And this afternoon, I took DD with me right after a feeding then pumping session and got my nails done. I had started peeling off my gel mani so I desperately needed it.
Now on the couch - DD just fell asleep on me but I need to move her soon so I can pump. I fucking hate pumping!!!
My H just looked at me and said, you seem like you're tired. Gee, really? Let's see, we have a two-month old baby that wakes up every few hours at night and is up for the day at 6, and who barely naps during the day. I do all the wake-ups and take care of him all day by myself. I wonder why I seem tired!
Work is encouraging us to dress up for Halloween and have our kids come visit in the afternoon. I bought J a dinosaur costume so I've been googling dinosaur costume tutorials for me. I'm totally making myself a giant dino tail and sewing dinosaur spikes onto a hoodie. I asked H if he'd be willing to dress as a dinosaur or paleontologist so we could have a family theme costume. He said he's be a paleontologist because he digs me. LOL. We are such giant dorks.

This is awesome! MIL sewed DH a dinosaur costume when he was a toddler, all 3 of my siblings in law have worn it and now we have it for DS. I can't wait for him to wear it and will totally steal your paleontologist idea

Bedtime has been a huge production the past few nights, involving nursing 3 or 4 times and a bunch of bouncing. I'm bouncing her now and hope it does the trick. She's happy to sleep in my arms forever, it's just when I try to put her down.
I arranged pet sitting for the weekend on zero notice. I love our pet sitting company!
I feel like I'm not getting anything done at work this week. I've been in meetings or putting out fires instead of doing actual work.
I was going to stay pretty late since we head OOT tomorrow, but 6pm hit and I was like, I'm done.
Ugh. Work has been like this for me for the past 3 weeks. I keep telling myself I'm going to leave early because I've been working so much but by the time I look at the clock it's already past the time I normally leave.
I desperately needed to get out of the house tonight, so I left DH to handle bath/bedtime and went and bought a bunch of baby boy clothes at Gymboree, then got a chocolate frosty at Wendy's. Woo!

Max and I are at the ER waiting on stiches. He cut his forehead. He was playing with his sister, I am not sure what happened.
My new insurance was supposed to start yesterday, but when I called I wasn't in the system. Luckily we are still under my husband's, but it took me almost an hour on the phone with the insurance companies.
I could go on and on in a whiny panic, but I am going to stop.
I gave him the kindle w a downloaded show to keep him entertained in the stroller so I could go for a long walk. First time for everything!
Bedtime was drawn out per usual. And of course as I'm typing this and naively thought he was alseep, he got out of bed to tell me he is scared of the lights.
A woman in my town's FB group posted about kids being so disrespectful and horrible these days, and another responded that "it's always the kids who were raised by daycare. They're like wild animals." I saw red and responded that I took issue with her comment because daycare neither ruins nor raises children, and that my child is lucky to have not just one woman teaching him life skills, like kindness and respect, but two. No one else had responded, but I immediately got about 20 likes, so I'm glad I said something. People are so ignorant. She is really well known in town, so I'm kind of wondering if I should have let it go. But I'm also glad I didn't.
krystee good for you! I have a friend whose child has never been away from her and is awful. Hitting, pinching, pushing, you name it. Another has had her son in daycare since 12 weeks and he is so sweet and kind and compassionate. Anecdotes but still. People like that need to be put in their place.
