we got three four-hour stretches! the midnight feed was challenging as he peed all over himself mid-diaper change and was utterly inconsolable about it for five solid minutes after 😂 however we all survived this harrowing experience and slept soundly afterwards. he’s doing a great job now of soothing himself back to sleep after a feed which was such a struggle in the early weeks. hm okay my parents are back in town tonight so most of my goals today are house chores.

the day:

fold and put away clean laundry x 1

fold and put away clean laundry x 2

take dirty laundry downstairs

showerrr and do a hair mask

pick up mail

fill out forms to mail

wash bottles

meal plan

place grocery order

change sheets

5 min tidy kitchen

5 min tidy living room

make formula

make enchiladas

grocery pickup

visit liz

walk dogs (stroller or carrier walk)

finish reading this very long fic?? or put a significant dent in it anyway

#daily processing #he is five weeks tomorrow #my goal was to make it to six weeks of pumping and then reassess #it’s hard because he’s finally learning how to latch #but I’m just not producing enough to justify triple feeding (pumping + bottle + bf’ing)#so I think I’ll keep pumping 3-4x/day until six weeks next Monday #and then I’ll go down to one morning pump and will continue to let him latch as he shows interest #but I suspect my supply will dry up fast since it’s so low already #that’s ok! I feel kinda sad about it still but #I don’t think it matters that much in the grand scheme of things
