What's up this weekend?

I know it's Wednesday but I'm here! I saw it earlier and forgot to come back and reply. Our weekend was fine. We took Iris to a pumpkin patch on Saturday and did a bunch of boring errands. I was supposed to run a half marathon on Sunday but I felt crappy. I've been sick off and on for a few weeks now and I woke up really congested on Sunday so I bailed. I feel crappy about it though. totally a fwp problem!

I wanted to respond to everyone but didn't make a list! Big hugs to scm1011. I really hope you guys are able to move forward soon.

Eta, yay! Should have read all the way through.

liveintheville, how's your H doing? How are you holding up?

Thanks for asking! I have great news. H literally got a job an hour ago. So things are definitely looking up! I hope H's stress level goes way down.

Great news, congratulations!

Hey now! I'm usually pretty responsive over here! 

Sunday is my shower (I made H tell me because I was trying to make plans with some folks who I know wouldn't be invited).  I will now spend Saturday practicing my surprised face. 

Other than that, I think it will be a low key weekend relaxing and cleaning the house.

How was your shower?!

Hi Guys! Sorry I've been MIA lately too! I keep meaning to post and then the baby starts crying or something. I meant to post in the updates thread but never made it. I suck!

I'm doing pretty well. I love my daughter, although it still freaks me out to think that I'm a mom! It helps that she is a super cutie. She has the best laugh and smile and is generally a very happy baby. She's even sleeping well! Breastfeeding has been a struggle. I want so much to make it to a year, but chronic plugged ducts are giving me pretty constant pain. It sucks more than I ever imagined it could. If I had gone back to work, I definitely would have quit BFing by now.

Speaking of, I quit my job. I think I told you guys that! My experience was so terrible at that company (very different from preppy's). I feel like I have PTSD from it. I never planned to be a SAHM and realistically I don't think I'll do it for too long. I'm trying not to think about the future too much becuase it depresses me to think of job searching again. My last 2 jobs were such failures, I have no idea what I'm going to do next. But anyway, I told myself not to worry about it until after the holidays.

So lately I've been pretty antisocial and staying close to home to make sure I don't mess up my BFing schedule. I need to make some mom friends closer to home. I wish I could find a mom's group or something in my town.

At least we have a pretty quiet weekend coming up! H worked all last weekend, so I'm excited to have some help with the baby. It gets old being with her alone all day long! She's cute and all, but pretty demanding!

We are always up for a meet up during the week! We'll even come to you. It's tough being on your own, I know the challenge well.
