Friday Night Leftovers: Stream of Consciousness

I lie awake at night making sure P is asleep, or when he is nursing, and write posts in my head and then promptly forget them the next morning.  They tend to jump from one thing to another in what is a logical fashion for me.  Let's see if I can kinda recreate some of it.

• The roomies will have all their stuff out by the 16th.  Woohoo!  
• This is good because Hubby's mom is coming!  She has to do some work in NY and is going to spend the weekend of the 22nd with us!  *does a little jig* She will be the first of his family to meet P!
• Which means I need to CLEAN.  Thus, it's a good thing for 2 bullets above.
• It also means I need to figure out a way to get off that Saturday...
• ...and speaking of work, I haven't heard from that other job yet.  And I'm trying now to get more hours at work given our new situation...
• ...and speaking of THAT, Hubby applied for unemployment, because apparently it is a rumor that if you are an independent contractor you can't apply.  *Fingers crossed*
• Cuz you know, paying rent is a good thing.  And other stuff.  
• Like daycare..do we keep it or toss it?  I have an FSA for daycare - if I take him out, I have to cancel that, and can't get it back until open enrollment.  I am of the opinion that it's too early to make that decision.
• But I HAVE made the decision to purchase a new pump with some of the funds sent by FIL for baby gates (the leftover)...my nipples feel like I've never BF before.  Cracks, bleeding, PAIN.  Time to try something different.  
• So if you heard a yell this morning, that was me when P latched on.  I get off on getting piercings and tattoos...this IS NOT THE SAME.  I now get why people have a hard time adjusting.
• But we got P weaned off of formula at home...well, mostly.  I am willingly topping off his evening meal with 2oz of formula to encourage a sleepy baby.  Some nights I even get nearly 4 hours straight out of him!  In his cradle!  
• I don't feel guilty.  He is still more than 50% on BM - probably closer to 75%, at the minimum.  
• Speaking of BBs, I still haven't popped the postpartum cherry.  Though, after a few drinks Monday I DID ask the neighbor if he would get his daughter to babysit so we could.  LOL.
• Have any of you thought about explaining safe sex to a child conceived in a petri dish?  "Well honey, when a man loves a woman..."  "But mommy, that's not how I was made."  "...."  Hmmm, time to order those cool books for kids of ART. And reference a biology book so I don't fuck up the facts.  You know, since I can't imagine how it actually works that way.
• Which made me think that a great re-name for my blog would be "Out Of The Petri Dish, Into The Fire.  Tagline: From Infertility to Parenthood "  Bahahaha, crack myself up!  And if any of you steal that, I will hunt you down!  Because I still may use it for something!  Too bad I would be terrible at writing a book.  
• And with that, I have written plenty.  Ciao!  Enjoy the holiday weekend!
