Trying to find a car to get us to London, we have SOO much luggage and British vehicles are small.

Dd was that way, but both of my boys are so lackadaisical when it come to nursing. They both have/had latch issues too which I can't seem to correct. Dd was a dream to nurse.

Either on here or I play a game on my phone. For me I do feedings PLUS pump, so it's hard. I try and pump while I'm feeding him.

Here's how it usually looks, Me sitting in a reclining couch, him on my legs facing me, me holding a single pump, holding his bottle AND playing a game on my phone! It looks silly.
I wish I had a double pump with a pumpeese though!!

AOTD: I watch tv I want to learn now to read one handed. Sometimes I make it down to the computer and NAK.

AFM: Pizza night at church, and I gave alex a bath. I have a poo story. Two baths and two diapers later, Alex is down for a nap and I am cleaning the basement bathroom. I have 2 visitors tonight.

Oh, and two of my friends are in labor now! One of them is one of my best friends, the other has similar views on birthing as I, and will cloth diaper her her baby. I know them both from college, we were all in the same small dorm. Both are having boys.

I usually have the tv on -probably a rerun on csi, NCIS, or house. Lately I've been having a grey's anatomy marathon. . I dont watch those when ds1 is around though. Plus I am usually on my iPad checking facebook or here. DS1 usually just keeps playing but sometimes will seek me out and want to sit on my lap, but I can usually settle him next to me and then he will lean really firmly against me. I will often end up putting on yo Gabba Gabba or Sid the science kid for him to watch while he cuddles up with me.

I'm taking ds1 for a haircut today. I love the shaggy long look, but it is over his eyes & touches his cheeks in the front. He was out playing the other day & started holding his hair out of his eyes with one hand. I decided it is time. I hope they listen to me & don't take too much off! I'm not sure how well it'll work with both boys there. I won't be able to have ds1 sit on my lap while they cut his hair since I'll have the O-man along. We are going to a kiddie cut place so hopefully they'll be good with him.

Hi -

I set up "my world" we call it. I seem to have nurslings - as in babies who would prefer to have a boob in their mouths ALL the time... while sleeping...while waking... while doing just about anything! I bought a lazyboy recliner from teh 80s at Goodwill, on one side on a tiny table sits my laptop to watch netflix or get on here, underneath is water, a book, my knitting. On the other side is usually food or whatever I was holding when I sat down. My 2 year old is NOT good at entertaining himself. I nurse while she's in the maya sling so I can help him, and we sit on the couch and read LOTS of books. he finally turns the pages himself so that helps.

Trying to do some FSOT stuff today, clean a little, and catch up on stuff... My computer printer's broken so EVERYTHING is backed up. We sell stuff online and I'm starting doing some work, so it's a problem. I cancelled our 6 week checkup this morning because to be honest I didn't think it was safe for me to drive on ice with so little sleep. I'm glad I did, but I still feel guilty.

I'm like Emily...I ususally watch TV. At least that's what I do during they day. DS is a power nurser too and usually is finished in about 15 min (that is including burp times in there.) I usuallly leave the TV on PBS so that DD can sit on her pillow and watch kids shows while I nurse in the recliner. In the evenings I get to watch what I want to. Usually it's the news or just some random show, but lately I've gotten on a Downton Abby fix.

AFM: We've run out of ink in the printer and I needed to print something for our rental property. Sooo, I pack up the kids this morning and head to the library. Get there and they are closed on Friday. So I walked across the street to the Board of Education (I used to work there). When I got into the door I realized that they couldn't print it for me (even though they would have) because I had e-mailed the document to myself and their internet protection mess wouldn't let me on my personal e-mail. I left there and went to the ONLY office supply store in our small town. The lady there was kind-of rude because I needed to log onto my e-mail to print it. She finally let me sit down at a computer to print it off and then their sinking version of word was 2000. They are an office supply store that specializes in printing and I have a newer version of word than THEY do!!! Uggh! So I left the office supply store and ran over to my sister's house. They weren't home so I called her to make sure it was ok if I printed at her house. She said it was, but then I had to hook up the printer, download it, and then the stupid thing STILL wouldn't open! By the time I finally got home (still without the darn thing printed) it was lunch time and I'd wasted all morning chasing my own tail and got NOTHING done. I called DH and told him and he was a little short with me about the whole thing. He called back later and said he would try and print it at work.

On a much lighter note.....DS slept last night in his crib! He still isn't sttn, but I only had to get up once. He's getting too big for the bassinet. We dont' have a pack-n-play and I want him to be able to stretch out...so the only place for him to go is his crib. He did great! In fact he's in it right now taking a nap!
