Holy crap I haven't posted in like +1.5 years.

I might start using Tumblr again. I don't even know if it's still the same.

I wish I knew what I was doing.

I nurse on demand and during the night she sleeps longer stretches so I end up needing to pump. (2am and I'm pumping)

I eat a lot... like more than my man ha. I noticed I get more when I've had a good meal with protein. So after, say, a good burger.

I try to keep hydrated, water and Gatorade amongst my tea and coffee.

I just donated breastmilk to a local mom and I'm so proud of myself.

My freezer is getting way to packed so I got rid of about 300-400oz. I didn't mark how much I saved in each except that I always put a minimum of 5oz up to 9oz a bag.

Its amazing that I can do this because with Cain I didn't get to breastfeed past a few weeks...and then I pumped for a month or two but got about 5-10oz a day.

Now I get that much per pumping in under 15mins...after a feeding.

Mia doesn't take a bottle...so I'm just saving enough to have just in case. But will be donating what doesn't fit.

Today alone I pumped twice and used the hakka for a letdown and have gotten a total of 19oz. That's extra. I'm amazed at my body really.

A lot of adulthood is shouting “AUGH MY LAUNDRY” hours after you put it in the washer/dryer and running to go fetch it

This is hilariously relatable.

Need a place to write out my Xmas shopping list for peeps.

Cain: Table/chair and a Kindle.

Mom: tickets to TSO concert and a nice candle

Julian: already got 2 toys

Sammie: license plate thingy, mermaid candle

Stepdad : some sort of movie

MIL: oils or gift card for a spa day/massage

Then we need to get something for Javier/Jessica and 3 kids. (Peter's brothers family)

Not too bad.

I got a month lol

My lil stinkies. Can't believe Thanksgiving is already this week...and Christmas just around the corner. Eek I haven't started any Christmas shopping!

Getting a colposcopy done right now. Ugh. Hate this stuff. But hope all is clear and good.

This little chunkie is two months old! (And 5 days) She weighs 11lbs9oz and is 23". She's been very clingy today especially and hasn't slept except for now with me holding her. So much for me getting stuff done. Its 1pm and I haven't even washed my face yet...gross I know. I've had a cup of tea, a cup of coffee and some pancakes. I at least made breakfast for my son haha

I feel like such a terrible mother 😭😭😭😭

I fell with Mia! She was in her car seat and strapped in...but I fell and I tried to keep her car seat up right but it tipped over and landed front forward...the handle broke the fall. But my poor baby. She was so scared...she was crying such a different cry. I was sooo scared.

I'm still shaking two hours later. I took her in to my ped because their office is only 5mjns from my house. They took a quick look, as they were booked up, but said she was okay and to just keep an eye out for bruising. God I hope there's no bruising.

She's been crying a little while home...so I really hope she's not hurt. I looked her all over. She's sleeping again. She's also been a little sick and extra sleepy the past two days so I'm not sure if her sleep is normal. Or to worry.

My guy is so pissed at me.

I fucked up my knees and my right palm to my elbow.

My poor baby. Ugh.

So I want to message my stepmom/dad (my stepmom responds 99% of the time, I don't mind) and ask for them to buy Mia some toys.

But I hatttteeee asking for help. But they're are grandparents so I kind of feel like they should help, especially since they left us and went to England when I was still in high school. They helped when Cain was born and bought presents....

I shouldn't feel bad asking my own dad but I do. He has two kids of his own who are 6&9...

Both him and have wife work....

I just hate asking...

But me being out of work has put a bigger strain on us than we thought it would. And Mia needs some toys and winter clothes so ya. My mom has definitely helped but I can't ask anymore of her, even though she would if I asked.

My littlest munchkin

Me: *slowly rocking my kid as I watch his eyes close and his breathing even out*

Me: *keeps rocking a little bit longer until he starts snoring a little bit*

Me: great he’s asleep I can stop rocking finally

My child, as soon as I stop:

Today has been one hell of a day!

Cain has had a fever and stomach ache since yesterday so no school today. I'm hoping by tomorrow he'll be fine and whatever it is he had has passed.

So being home alone with two kiddos drove me nuts. Especially when one keeps calling "mama" every two minutes and the other cries two minutes after you put her down.

But once Peter got home I was able to get a few things done thankfully. Cooked, did laundry and kids are washed.

Everyone is sleeping and I should be too....Mia is gonna be up in 2-3 hours.

She looks so long haha. Yesterday she had her 2 week check up (2w+5) She has gained 1lb 3oz in two weeks! All that breast milk has been doing her good then. I'm glad to see in able to breastfeed this one. With Cain we had trouble...so this makes me very happy. Even if my nipples want to cry sometimes. Last night she slept in her basinnet for the first time, for about 3 hours straight! I'm glad that it's working. As much as I love her sleeping on my chest....Id like to sleep in different positions besides on my back. Found out yesterday that Mia has thrush :( so that sucks. I got to go pick up her prescription today. My MIL tried to pick it up yesterday but they told her that my insurance isn't covering her, which makes no sense. She's a newborn, she doesn't have her medical card yet (takes 6-8weeks) so she's covered under me for now. They better cover the meds...I really don't want to pay our of pocket when money is tight right now.

Broke. So broke. I've been out of work for about 5 weeks now. That's about $3000 that I've missed out on 😭😭😭

Mia is 2weeks and 2 days old. I want to go back to work. But I can't. Because I can't leave her.

And Peters hours have been cut so it really really sucks right now.
