Thanks everyone! I found some Sole fillets and a container of homemade mini meatloaves in the freezer this morning (YAY!). With all your helpful suggestions I think we'll be just fine for the next 10 days.

Due to some unexpected costs I have only $50 left in my grocery jar for the next 10 days. We are seriously committed to our budget and our debt repayment so unless we are in danger of going without food there will not be any more money...

We have 4 jars. (Family of 5 includes Mom, Dad, 14 yo DS, 4 yo DS and 1 yo DD who is still nursing) Food = $900/month (everything that we eat whether it comes from a store or a restaurant) Incidentals = $200/month (non-food items that...

Mine got progressively smaller (but exactly a week earlier every time). DS1 was 9lb7oz (39w4d) DS2 was 9lb1oz (38w4d) DD was 7lb1oz (37w4d)

I am exhausted. Lily goes down to sleep easily at 6:45. I can put her down awake and walk away and she just goes to sleep. She does this for naps as well. She doesn't stay asleep and wants to be nursed back to sleep every time she...

I will be the lone dissenter on the Snuggle Nest. The sides are a very hard plastic and it takes up a surprising amount of space. Every time I moved the plastic wall of the nest would dig into my back. When DD wanted to nurse I had to...

My DH gets it and I think the biggest reason her gets it is because he has taken a long parental leave with each of the babies. He knows how much work it was when we were both home and he appreciates that it is even harder when I am home...

Crashing your DDC. We did not do the eye ointment but we did do the injected vit K as I take blood thinner injections every 12 hours while pregnant and we found some evidence to suggest that Asian babies are more prone to bleeding...
