So we did breastfeeding some in the hospital when Julia was born 5.5 weeks ago but since she would only latch on one side, I just switched to primarily pumping (exclusively pumped for Julia's big sister for 11 months as well) and at her 4 week check up, I told her pediatrician that she still latches some (which she does but she just got over thrush so I wasn't taking the chance) but I was primarily pumping. At that time, I had pumped over 700 ounces and had close to 250 ounces in the freezer (I've since pumped close to 900 ounces and have used some freezer stash cause of some supply issue due to a pump piece breaking and I had to use a manual til I got a new piece in), and her pediatrician told me how she had been bragging on me because of how easy pumping was going for me. I got a good job here and there from my 2 year old's old doctor but never any praise like what Julia's pediatrician has given me from the start. With the grief I get from my mom, the praise I get from her doctor makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside but knowing I'm still giving my girl the best thing for her intensifies that feeling even more since, at home, I only have my husband's support (living with my mom and stepdad temporarily).

That's amazing momma!!! People don't understand how much more difficult pumping is. Keep it up! =] 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
thanks :) I want to get to a year minimum but it's going to depend on how my going back on Lyrica effects her since there's not a lot of study in breastfeeding mom's with it. her doc said once we get her reflux under control and get her weight gain up a tiny bit more (she's gaining weight well but not quite as much as they want cause of her reflux) then she was fine with me going back on a low dose and gradually going up on it while we watch Julia to make sure it's not majorly messing with her. if it comes to where it does mess with her then I'll keep trying to stay off of it as long as possible so I can pump/BF as long as I'm able to
