That's just crazy talk!

This summer the Monday crew decided to head to the cabin!  My friend Rachel’s parents have a cabin on a river and we went a few years with all of our dogs before we all had kids and then we stopped going once the kids started coming.  This year we decided to all go with the kiddos, no dogs allowed.  :)  Personally, I think this was easier with the kids than the dogs, especially now that we have three dogs.  Oh how life has changed…  I love it!

Guess what…………  I’m 100% done pumping!  Hip-hip hooray!  Hip-hip hooray!  I can’t even explain to you how good this feels.  No more waking up and pumping.  No more being tied down.  My boobs finally belong to ME again!  Yay!  I just had to share my happiness with you.  :)

I’m very excited to announce that I am no longer pumping at work!  Yay me!!!  Only those who were pumping full time working moms would really understand how exciting that is.  Pumping is a job itself so I’m so excited to finally be done during the day.  I finally have a full lunch hour!  I still pump once in the morning when I wake up and once before I go to bed.  I’m waiting for Remy to for sure sleep through the night before I give it up completely.  Most nights he sleeps through the night but sometimes he will wake up around 4-5 a.m. and be hungry (like last night).  Pretty soon I’m going to cut him off and no longer offer the boob at that time, even if he wakes up and wants it.  But I’ll give him one more month.  If he's going most nights without it, he doesn't need it anymore.  I’ve got at least 1-2 more months of milk in the freezer so he will probably be on breastmilk until about a year, even if I quit pumping now.  Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll see a blog when I’m 100% done pumping.  Maybe I’ll even throw a party?!  ;)

I’ve been meaning to blog about my surprise date night with the hubs and totally forgot until now.  Well, partly forgot and partly haven’t had time.  So a few weeks ago I got home from work as normal.  Did my usual – got in my comfy pants immediately, took care of Rem’s diaps and got his bag ready for the next day, started his supper, then I went looking for Phil.  He was getting ready and told me I need to go get ready because we’re leaving.  I was like, wth, we’re leaving?  He said his mom was coming over to watch Rem while we went out for dinner.  Okayyyy… you’ve NEVER surprised me with dinner before and we’ve been together for 10 years!  So off we went to the Phoenix for a little date night.  Then we got back to the car to go home and he pulls a present out of the trunk.  A surprise present too!!!  Holy smokes was I feeling spoiled.  He bought me a tablet and said it was just because he loved me and wanted to do something nice for me and for all that I do.  Weird.  He’s bought me things randomly before but just little things like flowers, ice cream, etc.  Nothing like this!  So yes, the hubby spoiled me rotten.  Now I need to think of something to return the favor.  :)
