Hunger Games tonight!
It's supposed to snow tonight into tomorrow, so we'll be at home all day tomorrow. DH is going to remove the second vanity and prep for the new ones to be installed on Sunday.

The good:
- Night weaning was a total non-issue- he didn't wake up once and I had to wake him up this morning to preserve a decent bedtime tonight!
- I unexpectedly received a $300 check in the mail for donating my breastmilk!
- I have cleaned our kitchen floor, folded towels from yesterday, made our bed, pumped up the stroller tire that was flat, made C breakfast, and did a load of laundry (folded and mostly put away) all this morning!
The bad:
-DH might have to work late tonight and over the weekend (most likely only tomorrow)
- I didn't get much sleep last night because I was anticipating C waking up.
The ugly:
- When you can't sleep MOTN, it's never a good idea to check your email...and don't open an email from your mom whom you haven't talked to in months It was a nice email but if she will always love me no matter what and I have such a special place in her heart then why doesn't she want anything to do with us? I'm not going to respond for awhile but I think when I do I will request that she not contact me again unless she wants a relationship...it just brings up way too many emotions that I don't need, almost like twisting the knife that's already been stabbed multiple times.
No weekend plans...hoping to get outside some and enjoy the nice weather we're having! Going on a walk with my mentor friend once C wakes from his nap!
luv2rn4fun Big hugs. I'm really sorry you're going through that with your mom, it sounds like such an emotional roller-coaster. I hope she comes around and decides to have a relationship with you again.

Thank you! It sucks because I already struggle with PPD/PPA but do pretty good overall. Then I hear from her and it really brings me down. For the most part I just focus on all the good in my life and enjoy it and block all this BS out (definitely in denial). Anyways, of course I want a relationship with her but I understand that it will never be the relationship we once had. I also struggle because it's clear she hates DH (who now understandably wants nothing to do with her due to very hateful things she has said via text to him) and wants our marriage to fail...part of me feels like I have to protect us first and I don't want a relationship with my mom to ruin what DH and I have (FWIW, DH supports whatever I want and can understand why I would want a relationship with her so I'm not sure she could come between us but it's something I'm mindful of).
I'm baking egg omlette cupcakes right now to freeze. I wish ibhad somewhere to go today but I know I'd just shop and spend money, so we're stuck inside. I hate the cold already for making life miserable and it's only November.
luv2rn4fun liked your post for the good. What a great morning!! Without the dream feed is he weaned? Sorry about your mom. I do hope someday things heal. I know how much she means to you.
@moonbeam I hear you. It's so sunny out I keep forgetting it's cold till I go outside I teared up last night when I heard snow was coming.

((hugs)) amaranth. I hope this winter I a easy as possible on you. I can't imagine being couped up and having to entertain a toddler (esp while pg). You can always visit me!
LOL...no, dropping the dream feed is step 1 of weaning. He still has 4 other nursing sessions. I'm going to try to drop to 3 in the next month and then re-evaluate. I really love nursing and am so sad they want me to wean before getting pregnant (so many women get pg no problem while nursing so it sucks to have to give it up since I'm not ready but we want them as close in age as possible just because of our loss history). I still might drop to 2 sessions and go from there...if my cycle appears normal I might just TTC and wean when I'm more ready.
(((luv2rn4fun))) I am SO GLAD that last night was a non-issue for C! That's awesome!! I hope you can sleep better tonight.
DH needs a break. From work, home, everything. He hasn't had a day off and to himself since before G was born. He has a fishing trip set up tomorrow. I'm so happy that he did it. I hope that the cold doesn't keep him from going.
G and I don't have any plans. I might just get out Christmas stuff.
ginkgoleaf - I somehow completely forgot that Hunger Games came out today! I'm SO excited to see it!!
luv2rn4fun - I'm so sorry that your mom is being so cruel. I think that you are right to consider asking her to stop contacting you. There's no point to it, other than trying to remind you that she has cut ties. Except she hasn't unless it suits her to say that she has. I'm glad to hear that your H is being supportive.

Hi ladies! Just want to say hello. I've been reading posts and trying to keep up, but not posting much. :::waves:::
TGIF! Cleaning this weekend bc we are hosting TG. I'm so excited to put out Xmas decorations on Friday. I'd like to try to go see Sabta tomorrow to beat the crowds, and maybe put the pic on our card.
Kids are good. Baby was 7 months yesterday (already!). DD had her TG show at school today. She was a pilgrim
