August 2012 Moms — The Bump

This cold winter is wreaking havoc on my skin!

tumblefluff — Wed, 22 Jan 2014 03:25:41 +0000

Recommend your moisturizer please! I still use cocoa butter as my daily body moisturizer which seems to be ok as long as I use it EVERY DAY. But now I need to add a facial moisturizer which I didn't really need before, so what do you use that you love? Body Moisturizer? Facial Moisturizer? I'm not picky.

What to call Nana's Boy Friend?

Toni79 — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 15:06:43 +0000

Ok ... so these are things that you usually decide on before your LO is born ... but for some reason we never decided on what DD would call DH's mom's BF! We asked all our parents before DD was born what they wanted to be called. And this was the only person we never came up with a name for. Now that she's talking and associating names with faces, we need to come up with SOMETHING!

On my side ... my parents are sill married and all the grandkids call them Grandma and Pop-pop.

DH's parents are divorced. His dad has been remarried since DH was 12. And he considers his step-mom another parent. He calls her by her first name. We call his dad Grandad and his stepmom Grandma. We're ok having two people named Grandma ... I had two Grandmas and if there was any confusion we would distingusish between the two by saying Grandma Last Name. Now, we could distinguish between the two by who their counter part is (Pop-pop versus Grandad). On a side note: DH's brother's teenage kids call DH's step-mom Grandma First Name, which I have a serious issue with. The first time I heard them call her that I was shocked. I will say that DH's brother is not very close to his dad and was never fond of his dad getting remarried. And his brother also does not live close. So sometimes I feel like them calling her Grandma First Name is BIL's passsive agressive way of dealing with things.

Anyway, DH's mom is Nana. That has long been established by the other grandkids. The other grandkids (all teenagers) have always called Nana's boyfriends by thier first name. (Same teenagers that call DH's step-mom Grandma Fritst Name.) Yes, there's an "s" on boyfriends! She was going through a divorce with her 2nd husband when DH and I were getting married (11 years ago). Since then, she's had several BFs. She has said in the past the she never wanted to get married again, so anytime a BF got too serious or wanted to move in with her, she'd break up with them. Anyway, she's been with her current BF for about 2.5 years. They moved in together almost immediatly when they started dating. Which was a surpise to us because she never wanted any of her boyfriends living with her! It was so quick that we learned, all in the same conversation, that she broke up with her old BF because he wanted to move in, and that she now had a new BF, who was moving in! WTH? Anyway, we like him. We're not super close to him or anything, but he makes DH's mom happy and that's all that matters, right? Anyway, in the past when we asked what DD should call him, they said whatever we wanted. I don't really feel comfortable calling him Grandad, Pop-pop, or any other name like that. He doesn't have a nick name that she can call him. And I feel uncomfortable with her calling him by his first name, like we do. It looks like this guy might be around for a while. Any suggestions on what DD should call him?

TIA!

Baby #2

AmySmolos — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 01:11:12 +0000

My dh brought it up last weekend for the first time! We've talked about having two kids but not really the timing of it all. I'm excited and scared. I don't know how I can be a mother to two. Or how to share ds with another one. And with my last delivery I'm pretty scared if that again. But I also know we would never regret having another baby but we could regret not having another baby. I love being a mom and I wish I could stay at home. Eek! No point to this I just can't tell people IRL and I'm happy and we probably won't even start trying until the end of the year:) wonder if I can wait that long lol:)

Positive thoughts for tomorrow...

Amjones52 — Tue, 28 Jan 2014 00:55:56 +0000

L has to have his circumcision "revised" tomorrow and I'm very nervous about the anesthesia. I know a lot of boys have had this procedure, but I'm still really uneasy. So, if you could ease my mind with a story or think of us in the morning, I'd be so grateful!

Any NH moms?

drunkindonuts — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 22:52:21 +0000

I'm looking for a good campground in the storyland/Santa's village region for this summer. Or maybe even lodging suggestions. Anyone? Thanks in advance!

CD Moms: Help me plan for fluff photos!

piphigirl — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 00:37:56 +0000

A couple times every year, our cloth diaper store does "fluff photos" of kiddos in cloth diapers. For $15, you get 20 minutes with the photographer and a disk of digital images. And the store gets to use all the cute pics of babies and toddlers in cloth diapers for their marketing! It's a win-win.

We did them twice last year and I love all the pictures. The first time, DD wore her Gro-Via peacock diaper and a pink headband. The second time, she wore a BumGenius Lovelace diaper.

They're doing the promotion again at the end of February and I definitely want to go. Help me choose a diaper for DD to wear! Options:

GroVia Kiwi Pie fitted in Ellie print (https://www.gro-via.com/kiwi-pie-one-size-fitted.html)
BumGenius artist print series in Piccadilly Circus (https://www.gro-via.com/kiwi-pie-one-size-fitted.html)
Thirsties Duo Wrap in the pink argyle print over a pre-fold
Smart Bottoms Smart One in the giraffe print (Wild Thing) (https://www.smartbottoms.com/Smart-One-Organic-AIO-p/smartone.htm)

Which one is cutest? Any accessory suggestions? I am also open to other ideas of diapers to buy! Link some cute ones! (Bonus if they are fitteds because I am all about fitteds lately.)

Possibly controversial.

I hate how judgmental this forum can be and how everyone ALWAYS jumps the OP.

How I Met Your Mother

NeneCakies — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 03:42:40 +0000

I have a total girl crush on the mother! I wish I knew someone like that IRL. When they first showed her I was thinking maybe it was a casting fail, but no, not after last nights episode! I love how they are tying it all together too. I will miss this show. Uh, so I'm not the only crazy one, are there any tv characters (past or present) you would want to be friends with?

Griffin Matthew is here! - update

sdlaura — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 03:27:15 +0000

He arrived this morning at 9:08 am (after I unintentionally didn't get to the hospital until 8 am and was 8 cm dilated at that point - and I was an idiot and had sent DH to work at 5:30 am, so had to drive myself 40 minutes in traffic to the hospital!). It was an almost too quick intervention free birth. He weighed 7 lbs even and 20 inches - much smaller than his 8 lb 9 oz sister, but she was born at 40 weeks, and he was born at 38 weeks 2 days. In terms of his heart defects, they appear to be less serious than anticipated. We don't want to get our hopes up too much, but we may be able to take him home this weekend and he may only need one big surgery. Thanks for all of your support! Update - the echo today went well so Griffin was allowed to come to our room, and we're all being discharged tomorrow! We'll meet with his cardiologists regularly starting next week and will watch for any signs that his heart is getting weaker, but otherwise we get to treat him like a normal baby.

Talked to dr about not talking

Jeffreysmom24 — Tue, 28 Jan 2014 02:09:16 +0000

We had Jeffrey's 18 month appt today. Jeffrey is still only saying mama and daddy, no other words. The dr said that receptive communication is more important than expressive communication right now and that it was a good sign that Jeffrey understands things that we tell him and can follow instructions, even if he isn't talking. One big tip that I didn't realize: he said to cut out all screen time! I always give Jeffrey my phone to listen to YouTube videos when he is fussing, during diaper changes, and if we are going out to eat, plus we watch music videos for a half hour each night before bedtime (he loves to dance). The dr said he has seen so many cases where once the tv is cut off, the toddlers start talking! We will see if that helps and I am already bracing myself for his tantrums!

Ideas and activities?

stlmomma27 — Thu, 23 Jan 2014 15:30:11 +0000

What do you do with LO all day if you stay at home with them?

I need some more ideas and new activities.

Prayers please! Update!

ks3pink — Mon, 27 Jan 2014 00:00:40 +0000

First for my SIL who now has 2 kids in the hospital. Her middle son who is 2 ended up being admited Thursday and is still there with walking pneumonia and a high fever. Just this afternoon they had to call the ambulance for her smallest child, her 9 month old, for the same symptoms. I cannot imagine the stress and worry they are going through right now! Second for my great uncle. We got a call this afternoon that he had been taken into emergency surgery for an aortic aneurism. He has come through surgery but has a long road ahead as this is not something most people love through. Third I have been having some back pain in the left kidney area and today have started having some bladder pain and urgency to urinate. Pray that's its just a bladder infection because I'm a little concerned that it could be more. Lots of prayers needed around here tonight. TIA! Update: my 2 year old nephew is home but my 9 month old nephew has gotten worse. He is currently in icu and will probably be intubated before the day is over. That will mean another week in the hospital. His breathing has just dropped into the 30s and he is really struggling. :( My great uncle is currently on dialysis because his kidneys will not function since the aneurism. He is still in icu and under sedation as well. :(

Help! I ruined her lovey!

shakinros — Sat, 25 Jan 2014 01:42:27 +0000

While DD was at daycare on Tuesday, we washed her lovey. It's a blue elephant named Ella. We have a backup that I asked DH to wash too so we could start to wear down the brand-new backup and make both Ella's more similar. WELL. I'm not sure what happened, but Ella came out of the wash cycle feeling a little different and DD absolutely won't touch her. This after weeks of carrying Ella everywhere! Is there anything I can do? I feel awful about it!

Lotions for dry face and eczema on body.

stlmomma27 — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 22:20:14 +0000

Can anyone recommend a really moisturizing lotion, mainly for the face? My ds has a fee patches of eczema on his body. His face is always really rosy and dry. He gets that from my dh though. He also has sensitive skin from me. I have been using dove sensitive soap and then I bought babyGanics lotion and soap. Not noticing a difference though. Any thoughts or ideas?

T&P for my lil sis

NeneCakies — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 15:48:14 +0000

My sister's mole (a 2nd one seems to have disappeared) is suspicious and being biopsied today. Results won't be in for a couple weeks but I'm worried. I'm no expert but it straight up looks and acts like melanoma and I don't know what else it could be. So I am expecting a skin cancer diagnosis but praying she didn't wait too long and it has not spread. Obviously the best news of all would be that it is benign. I don't like to burden people with sadness but some extra good vibes for her couldn't hurt. DH thinks I shouldn't worry until we know for sure but it's really hard to turn off. Thanks ladies.

How many of these have you done???

Update - Fertility Specialist & Weaning

Toni79 — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 14:05:18 +0000

I'll try to keep this concise. But I have issues with being concise, as you can tell by this post (and likely some of my other posts!) LOL!

So a few weeks ago I posted that I finally got up the nerve to call my Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE), AKA Fertility Specialist. We wanted to meet with him to answer some questions and see what he'd suggest for TTC # 2. We met with him this week and it went really well. Answered all our questions.

Breif Background: Back in 2010, we were dx Unexplained Infertility. We had 3 failed IUIs, and 2 failed IVFs(one fresh and one frozen). We were sucessfull on our third IVF (2 fresh embryos transfered). We still have 3 frozen embies.

My RE suggested going straight to IVF for a couple of reasons:

Because we had so many failed treatments previously (IUIs and IVFs).
Because we already have 3 frozen embies available. And a frozen transfer is less stress on my body than a fresh IVF cycle.
Because of our ages (I'm 34 and DH is 40). Not super old, but no spring chick either!

I wanted to know how long he'd suggest trying on our own before persuing treatments. He said about 4 months (for reasons 1 and 3 above). I was surprised. I would have thought he'd suggest 6 months. I don't know why I thought that?

Then came up the topic of weaning. Here is where I get emotional ... like really emotional! I was reluctant to bring it up. He hadn't, and we were wrapping up. I guess he assumed with an almost 18 month old, she was weaned. So I reluctantly brought it up. He basically said that I needed to be completely weaned for 1 cycle before completing the day 3 bloodwork, baseline ultrasounds, etc. I guess that's better than what some of you mentioned previously - that you had to be weaned for 3 cycles before starting. So it really was not a surprise that I had to be weaned. I felt ok when we left.

BUT then we get in the car and DH says someting about how I can wean DD in a month. And I just started to bawl! I'm so torn. On one hand if DD woke up tomorrow and had no interest in BFing ever again, I'd be sad, but glad it was over and over on her terms. But on the other hand, I'm also ready to plan for another LO. I don't want them 5 years apart in age! But then I think about what if we're not sucessful and we don't have another LO ... DD could be my one and only chance to BF, and I don't really want to end it if she's not ready.

Gosh! This sounds like I'm a crazy women who is only BF for "me". But that's not the case. DD is very much still attached to BF at certain times of the day, and I really hate to take that away from her. Espchally since it is "our" special time together.

DD is down to 3 BFs a day. First thing in the am before DC, when I pick her up from DC, and at bedtime. And I feel like they are all "justified" times. I wake her at 5:45 during the week to take her to DC (on weekends she sleeps to 6:45-7:00). So I feel bad for waking her so early, and I feel like that morning BF kind of eases her into being woken up so early. When I pick her up from DC, she's been there for 11 hrs, and we miss each other. She greets me with smiles and signing "milk" immediatly when I get there. Then at bedtime, I feel like it relaxes her and helps her fall asleep. I should also mentin that its only been about 2.5 months since she cut out her last MOTN session! So you can see how long she holds onto sessions!

I just don't know what to do! DH understands, and told me its up to me. But I still feel the pressure.

I'm going to start by trying to eliminate the session when I pick her up from DC. I think that's a good place to start. Sometimes I can say to her "let's wait until we get home". But even if she stops asking, she'll ask as soon as we get home! Any suggestions? How do you do "don't offer / don't refuse" and negotiate "later" at the same time? I mean, she'll ask several times when I pick her up from DC, and I just keep saying "when we get home". But then aren't I technically "refusing" at that time?

Sorry so long ... I've got alot on my mind!

VENT - BRU Trade In Event

Toni79 — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 14:44:07 +0000

Dear BRU,

Thanks for nothing!

While I was KU you had the trade-in event twice! Yes, twice! But becasue this was my first LO, I had nothing to trade in.

Then you had it again last January (shortly after DD's first x-mas). There was nothing I needed quite yet, since DD was only a few months old.

You had trade in events twice a year. So, I intentionally saved 2 broken bouncy seats (hand me downs) and a broken carseat base (that was in an accident - without LO being in it thankgoodness)! I've been holding onto these things for what seems like an eternity... just waiting for your next trade in event. I wanted to get DD two convertable carseats and an umbrella stroller!

Previously it seemed like you had the trade in event in the fall ... I remember you had one the Aug DD was born. I held off buying DD's convertable carseats as long as I could. August came and DD was 1 year. She despiratly needed to be out of her infant carseat (she finally reached the height limit). So I caved and bought 2 carseats (I still shopped around for good deals thought!). Then our Aug vaca came and I again sucked it up and bought an umbreall stroller (again I shopped around for a good deal).

I was over it ... and over you BRU! You stopped sending me 20% coupons (which I only occasionally used anyway because I found things on sale at other places). But that's not the point. When I did shop with you, you stopped including a 20% off coupon on your receipts! With freinds having babies and registering at BRU, it was nice to have coupons just in case!

But then ... what do I see yesterday when I open my mailbox??? Oh, your flyer with info about your trade in event! Really? WTH? That really would have been nice to have 6 months ago! When I thought you were going to have it! Thanks for nothing!

So even thought you suck, your coupons suck, and your overpriced ... I'm probably still going to hold onto those broken bouncy seats and carseat base ... just incase when/if you run the event again ... and if I have a need for something (booster, etc) ... I'll be ready for you!

East coast vacation ideas

brandyleighxx — Mon, 20 Jan 2014 15:54:21 +0000

Myself, DS, & DH are traveling (driving) from New Hampshire to North Carolina at the . Where we will be in NC is on the SC border and about 4 hours from the coast. Any ideas for places to stop along the way? We are mostly going to visit family and we are giving him a birthday party while we are they but we also want to make it a vacation and do something with the 3 of us.

Feeling like a bad mom

alake — Mon, 20 Jan 2014 01:03:13 +0000

With us moving in two weeks, I have been slacking on the homemade foods. We have been doing so much takeout and not healthy foods. We are pretty much out of food as we haven't bought anything food wise since since we got back from Colorado. We went through the pantry cleaned it out. IT has been a week of takeout. I can't wait to get some normal food into the kids.

Vitamins.

stlmomma27 — Sat, 18 Jan 2014 15:14:49 +0000

Ds seems to be getting colds a lot lately, I know it is that time of year, but he's never been one to get colds. He eats well and drinks only water and milk. I am thinking about getting him a multi vitamin, but I am not sure what kind to get. I looked at walmart last night and the one that I saw said it was for 2-3 year olds. Do you give vitamins? If so, what kind?

OVER IT!!!

SBmomma — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 03:01:24 +0000

Can someone please tell me WHY I put myself through this day after day?

DS NEVER eats veggies or meat…like ever! I cook so much good food for him and 90% of it ends up on the floor.

I try to be clever and disguise his food with cheese, flavored yogurt, you name it I've tried it. I've gone back to purees in those squeeze packets.

This is ridiculous…and yes, I am over it! Blah!

Aw my birthday girl

SJandVA — Wed, 22 Jan 2014 22:26:10 +0000

More kids and careers?

stlmomma27 — Wed, 22 Jan 2014 17:04:14 +0000

A little back story on me, I am 28 years old, married with one child. I had an ectopic pregnancy in 2008 and had to have surgery to remove the pregnancy (my tube was saved), I have been trying to get into the nursing program at my school for over 2 years. I can finally start this upcoming fall, but now I am having second thoughts.

My reason why, I am getting close to 30 and knowing that I had a prior ectopic, I know my chances for having another one goes up with age.

I wanted to have my kids close in age, that has always been important to me. I want to be a nurse though too. Both of these things are so important to me.

I am not sure if I should just get a certificate and go with that or what I should do?! My husband is the only one working and he is tired of struggling with just one paycheck. I understand completely. If I got pregnant next month, then the age gap would be around 2 years and 2 months.

I called the nursing department today and they said that they have had pregnant students, but it is either too hard on them or they miss one clinical and fail.

What do you think? Anyone in a similar situation like me? Wanting another child and wanting to finish school?

Clothes: 24M -vs- 2T ???

Toni79 — Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:45:15 +0000

Ok ... this is such a silly question. DD is in 18 months. Some of her stuff is getting a little tight. They still fit, but I think I should get a few more outfits in a bigger size to get her through the winter/early spring. I'm just torn on if I should go with 24 months or 2T. My mom claims up and down that the only differant between the two is that 2Ts have smaller butts because by the time kids are in 2T they aren't in diapers anymore. But I think she's wrong. We're not even close to starting potty training! I usually shop at Carter's, and I cheked thier size chart, and there is definatly a differance between the two. Although it is a very small differance.

I'll have to try to measure and weigh her in the next few days to see which she is closer to. However for a while I've felt like Carter's were cut on the smaller side.

Carter's also has 25% Clearence through Monday. So if I find any stuff that might be more appropriate for spring (short sleved stuff), I might get a few things for when the weather turns.

Wondering if I can skip 24 M?

Just curious if anyone else has had this internal debate between 24M and 2T? Or maybe I'm just crazy!?!?!

Favorite Shape Sorters

Toni79 — Thu, 23 Jan 2014 16:20:42 +0000

OK .. this is silly ... but I've got a few differant shape sorters already ... but I want to send one to the babysitters house for DD ... I don't want to part with any that I already have ... mommy likes them too much! LOL! So I'm in the market for yet another shape sorter. Preferably one that makes some sort of sounds to keep DD engaged. I also realized that most of the toys I've sent to the sitter don't make sound! And I need to drive that family crazy too! LOL! (It's a family memeber).

We already have these:

Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby's First Blocks ... I just pulled them out this weekend and DD was not impressed by them! No sounds! And she just takes off the lid and puts the blocks in-and-out! https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Brilliant-Basics-Babys-Blocks/dp/B0089W1IGG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1390493086&sr=8-2&keywords=fisher+price+shape+sorter

Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Picnic Basket ... which DD and I like to play with! https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Laugh-Learn-Sounds-Picnic/dp/B004ORS0JI/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1390493086&sr=8-11&keywords=fisher+price+shape+sorter

Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Say Please Tea Set ... DD doesn't play with the shape sorter part alot. But she LOVES pouring me tea (please). https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Laugh-Learn-Say-Please/dp/B001IEYXAA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390493301&sr=8-1&keywords=fisher+price+laugh+and+learn+tea

WWYD: Church childcare

austenfan919 — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 23:45:11 +0000

I go to a Bible study on Tuesday morning that has child care for DS. Last school year, and this fall, there has been an adult and a young girl (she's 12 now) to care for the few children there. But the Bible study leader asked me today if I was comfortable with just the 12 year old watching the kids this semester since there will only be 2 kids and she has had trouble finding an adult to help.

My first reaction was that I'm not very comfortable with it. I wouldn't leave my kids alone at home with the 12 year old just because she is young. And it bothers me a little to just have one person with the kids. On Sunday mornings, the children's ministry at church has a policy that no one can be alone with a child. (Also, no one under 14 can hold a baby on Sunday mornings.)

But maybe I am being ridiculous, since I will be down the hall the whole time. And it sounds like the mom of the other child was OK with it, so me objecting means I make more work for the Bible study leader to find another child care helper. Or that I find my own child care, which wouldn't be easy either.

So what do you think? Would you leave your LO with a 12 year old and one other toddler while you did Bible study down the hall?

Twats on Tuesday

NeneCakies — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 17:00:32 +0000

Vent away! Remember how? Of course you do! I nominate scary moles. My sister has two that she has ignored for a year. We just visited her (out of state) and it's the first time I saw them myself. I mean one is right on her forehead so hard to miss. Granted she just had a baby 2 weeks ago and had other things on her mind the past few months but I was shocked and then worried once I looked at a mole chart I have saved at home. I called her and told her to make an appointment without delay. She listened to me and will see a dermatologist tomorrow. I may have freaked her out but those moles have to go! I hope and pray it's not what I think it is. :(

Couple things.

stlmomma27 — Mon, 20 Jan 2014 17:24:16 +0000

I have a couple things I need to discuss with you ladies.

1. My main concern, ds hits me when he is mad, being told "no," if I'm not being fast enough getting something. He kicks me when I go to change his diaper too. He does not act this way with my dh.

I have tried telling him "No" sternly, I've tried popping his butt or thigh, I've tried removing him from the situation. It makes me so sad when he does this to me. Any advice?

2. He is not saying "Mama," he will say "Dada" though. He doesn't go up to dh and say "dada." If I try to get ds to say mama, he will either not say anything or he will say baba.

He's a very smart boy, but he is not talking. I've asked a couple different peds and they all say something different. One says that by 18 months they like to see at least 10 words. The one we saw the other day, said that some kids don't talk at all right now. He can sing/hum Twinkle Twinkle and the ABC's. He was saying "Please," for a while, but stopped that.

Should I look into an ENT? Is this normal? Anyone in my situation?

Any other august moms have to deal with febrile seizures? DS had three in one day his first time the end of August and then today he had another one:( it's so scary and I hate it so much for him I was just wondering if anyone else goes through this? Between his wheezing and seizures I'm a nervous wreck with the first sniffle.

So I've never had an issue clipping J's nails until recently because we would do it when she was asleep. So my question is...how do you clip a toddlers nails, but mostly her toe nails when she has insanely ticklish feet? She lets me do her finger nails, one at a time, but I can't get her tiny toes because they are so small and her feet jerk about and I'm afraid of hurting her. Help!? TIA
