I'm conflicted in a way. I have been invited out this weekend to a car show Saturday and going on a pontoon boat Sunday. The problem is, the speedway will be too hot for my daughter and as well as the boat. I can't take her with me. People keep telling me to go out and enjoy myself but I'm afraid of leaving her for more than a few hours let alone half the day, two days in a row! I really need to practice because I'll be going back to work next month but dang is this hard. I feel like people will think I'm a bad mom. Plus I don't think I could pump enough for her in such short notice. I've started to supplement her but I don't want her babysitter to have to use more formula than breast milk, will that upset her stomach? OMG. Ladies. Help. 😩

Mix breast milk and the formula 50/50. It will be easier on the baby's tummy

As far as the formula goes, all babies seem to be different as far as what their bellies can tolerate. Oakley does fine eating breast milk or formula, one over the other doesn't seem to upset his stomach. But you should NOT feel like a bad mom for going out. I think in order to be a good mom you need to take time for yourself sometimes, otherwise you'll just go stir crazy. I think you should go and enjoy yourself. I know you'll miss her like crazy and she will be on your mind but she WILL be okay! And you'll be glad you got out to have a bit of fun. You said yourself you go back to work next month so if this may be the only time you're gonna have to get out and have free time then you should take it :)

I'm driving myself. I have just decided when I'm in labor and have to go to the hospital. I will be the one driving that hour and a half to get there. I think my husband would freak out too much bless his heart and he is at work all day anyway. And my grandma.... Heck no. Everyone complains I drive like crazy. I'm actually super safe. No one has rode with her. I love the woman but she drives like a lunatic. I seriously am scared to death she will wreck one day. And even more when I'm in the car with her. Not to mention she doesn't do well under pressure or if emotions are high. And I would have to be the one telling her where to go and to stop going 90 mph anyway. Id rather be more focused on breathing than if I am going to survive the drive to the hospital or not. So it's decided. I'm driving myself.

Birth Plan Rant I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
