DH and I had a super long talk last night and I feel a lot better about this whole weekend and us in general. And we even talked a ton about our Disney trip, I cannot wait and wish we were going sooner though!
Last night was crappy. DD would nurse for a few mins and fall asleep which meant way more frequent wake ups. I know how is due to her shallow latch. Ugh. Hoping therapy will help bc I need better sleep! I also think I'll try getting out of bed and in the glider so we both wake up more fully at night so I can pay more attention to trying to get a better latch.
I am more focused on eating better. thanks to farmvillelover starting the crock pot thread, I was motivated to get stuff yesterday at the store and currently have beef stew cooking in the crock pot. I am starting to focus on eating better so I can drop this baby weight!
No big plans for today. Going to take a nice walk and I have my 6 week post partum visit with my ob.
Have you tried a diaper insert inside the pull up? DS1 is also a big guy and a heavy wetter and I've found that the Goodnite/diaper insert combo keeps him dry about 75% of the time.
Yup I tried it, he won't wear it. He says it's uncomfortable, and I'm sure it is! If I try to force him to wear it, he takes the whole diaper off as he's falling asleep  Normally the Goodnite works pretty well.  Now that I think about it, I wonder if the medication he's on (oral steroids) may be the culprit. We'll see if the issue resolves itself, he had the last of the steroids yesterday.
I'm sure he's right. Hopefully both our boys will outgrow it before their bladders grow much bigger!
Me too! Wondering if 150 bpm is a masculine or feminine rate.
My son was in the 150s throughout my pregnancy. My mom was CONVINCED we were having a girl because of it. His heart rate didn't slow down until that last few weeks.
Our contractors are almost done with the bathroom! They had to special order the door so it technically won't be done for another 10 days but at least our house won't be a construction zone anymore.
Now I just need to paint and find some floating shelves.
I think I am going to wean off EP. It's a major source of anxiety and stress for me and I've made it 8.5 months. My supply dropped after a virus a few weeks ago and hasn't recovered.
I feel guilty and sad but I have so much travel coming up, the logistics would be terrible. I just hand expressed on a nasty public bathroom toilet while having an anxiety attack because I couldn't find anywhere to plug in and my car charger bit the dust.
P will just have to figure out formula. He won't starve himself, right?

EPers amaze me. It's a lot of logistics to juggle! You ROCK for making it this far. Way to go!
Did you transfer two each time? I always wonder when I look at our picture which one is Emma and which one didn't implant. Now I wonder if the same will happen this time since we transferred two again.
AW: three years ago today we transferred Benjamin!
(which means three years and five days ago BOTH Ben and Ethan were conceived).

With Ben I transferred two, one took.
Then I had a SET that resulted in a chemical.
So with Ethan I transferred two again and one took.
I wonder too which one they are. It's crazy to have a picture of them when they are only a few cells. Take that, fertiles!
I thought of that 3 yr old thread this morning bc Ds has a massive meltdown bc I offered to let him push the buttons to turn he dryer on and he said no so I did it. Like 15 min of screaming and crying bc he wanted to do it. After lots of throwing things and hitting me and kicking me if I tried to talk him down he chased after me and just collapsed on my shoulder. Cried for a good five minutes there. Poor kid, so many feelings with no idea how to express them all.
I've used Love and Buttercream in Royal Oak before; very yummy. Astoria might, too, but it's been a while since I've been in there so I can't say for sure.

I accidentally grabbed a pair of my pre-pregnancy jeans to wear today... and they fit! OK, they're a little tight, but not to the point where I shouldn't wear them. It only took 20 months, but I can squeeze into them again! Woohoo!
Of course, I'm celebrating this discovery with a bag of Cheetos, so they might not fit for long
