My daughter gets Charlie horses at night when she's sleeping. It makes me sad

I get them all the time and my doc suggested bananas. Apparently potassium deficiency causes them? Or can cause them? Or something. Anyway, it helps! That and staying hydrated.

She eats at least 2 or 3 bananas a day! She loves them!! But I could get her to drink more water.. She really likes milk it's hard to get her to drink anything else

Does she get much salt? I know when I run long distances I take salt to help me stay hydrated and it helps with leg cramps too. That's all the advice I have except to say talk to your ped. There must be something they can do to make her more comfortable. I know Charlie horses can be part of growing pains, but she's a little young for that, especially that frequently. I'm sorry your little one is going through that! I know how badly those suckers hurt! When I get them in the night I wake DH fast, and he knows to move to rub it out quickly or it can feel sore and bruised for days. Hoping they ease up for her soon.

I'm not sure on her salt intake. I mean I put salt and pepper on a lot of stuff I cook but I'm not sure how much she needs. We have her flu shot coming up in 2 weeks so I'll be asking her doc then. I have to sit and rub hers out too. She always freaks about and thinks she won't be able to walk again. It's so sad but so cute at the same time.
Thanks for the advice!

How can you sleep after being flagged by "new last name" gal? Ha glad to see you're not losing any sleep over that, I couldn't believe someone would do a poll on that I'm laughing out loud.

I said it before and I'll say it again: made my night. Laughed so loudly Hubby called down from upstairs to see what was funny. I love our board!

@nessabeers, is the name because you really like beer?

nessabeers

Haha love it! DH woke up to me laughing and asked what was going on and all i could do was laugh.

I was going to say some snarky comment to at least change "Heart" to "Hart" then she can be like Gracie hart off of miss congeniality, another made up name

ETA- but then again maybe that wouldn't make it "a hole new name" ha haha ha ha

katieharpiceland

ok...living in GMT you really miss some of the late night crazies!!! I can't wait to start reading this name post. LOL.

@BiggerinRealLife Haha no, I actually don't drink alcoholic beverages! My maiden name is beers speaking of last names. I just wish I had a sister named Anita, it would make it that much better ...

I could probably get Jackie from the bump to change it from the knot but just hoping you weirdos don't stalk me on the inter-web too much. (I'm really not worried)

BiggerinRealLife

@nessabeers Watch out for @KendraColeslaw.... Closet stalker, that one.

Anita beers! ::dead::

It's okay @KendraColeslaw, ha someone's gotta be the creeper around here!

I can't tell you how many times I got, "you're parents should have named you Anita!" I need a beer muahaha or people thought we owned a beer company- pretty sure I wouldn't have been going to public school if my parents owned Budweiser and were loaded to no end.

I had KFC for dinner with their delicious biscuits, mashed potatoes and mac n cheese! It was beyond fantabulous!

Damnit! I always forget mac and cheese is an option! Screw the green beans next time!

Why are green beans ever and option!!!?!

Next week, our orchestra is playing with a heavy metal band. I never even CONSIDERED it to be a problem with baby. But then people started asking me about it. Am I worried? Do I think the baby will be ok? I mean, I totally think so, but, should I not think so?

I will be wearing earplugs, but, I imagine the sound is somewhat muffled in there?? I randomly started to worry...LOL

Ok, I'm not making a whole post on this because I can't tell if I'm being crazy psycho FTM or not.

We had videographers at our wedding and they did the most amazing, fabulous, incredible wedding video ever.  Do you think it's weird to maybe contact them about being at the birth and creating a video?

I don't have the talent to do this, and I do NOT want them in there for the traumatizing stuff...  But, I watched that video of the premie's first year and thought how great it would be to have that all on video, and be able to capture everyone we love waiting and being there for the first time.  Crazy or no?

Watching a baby story right now.. The dad in the interview said "she was in so much pain she was ready to give up, and honestly I was too". Mother fucker what do you have to give up!?!? Suck it up you puss and support your wife! DH was scared when I stated yelling at the tv....

Cuz I hate coleslaw. And cuz ordering something "healthy" with fried chicken makes me feel better about myself. Sometimes it's the little things.

I love green beans but I just can't do it at KFC lol if I go unhealthy I do it all the way... Maybe drink water with dinner. God it's so obvious I'm pregnant! Lol

If I get KFC is definitely double sides of mashed potatoes and gravy.

Meeeeee too!!!! No shame

@Jellysparkles It's ok. I'll just pretend you said you rescued a drowning kitten from a raging river and when you dove in heroically you hit your eye on a tree branch. Half blind, you made your way toward the struggling feline, who, in her terror, greeted you with a viscous swipe to the face. Undaunted, you picked up the sodden baby and clutched her to your chest. Tucking her into your décolletage, you fought your way through the swirling rapids until you, with your furry burden, were able to claw your way into the shore, gasping from the effort of navigating the tumultuous eddies. While you lay there, the kitten spied her owner, who was searching frantically for her along the shoreline. She ran to her owner in jubilation, who scooped her up with an exclamation of surprised delight and looked around for the hero who returned her precious fur baby to her. When her eyes fell on your half-drowned form, she insisted on having her driver take you back to her hill-top mansion to clean you up. Clean, warm, and decked out in couture pj's, you went looking for your benefactor who was enjoying tea and clotted cream with her kitty in the solarium. As you started to thank her, she would hear none of it. And when she found out you were with child, she doubled the rescue fee she was planning on giving you, allowing you to work or stay home at you leisure, and set your child up for college for life. The kitty grew to a ripe old age, and hero Jellysparkles was lauded by all for her heroism for the rest of her days.

The End.

Remember when this thread got hated on for being "too long"? Bishes, THAT'S THE POINT!

mrscrcalli

The fit moms Friday thread makes me secretly hate everyone in there! Is there a "lazy I don't care I'm soaking this all in along with a milkshake thread?" I'll participate

Eta I don't really hate you.. Before this starts a fit vs fat war.

Stace0616

So random thought--I've probably flagged a good handful of people unintentionally, and now I feel really shitty about it. The mobile app has the "back" button right in line with the "flag" and when my fat finger slips, there is no ability to take a flag back

Yet another reason why The Bump needs some smarter mobile developers. Between unintentional flags and sideways pictures, my Bump life is a MESS!!

I'm kinda mad cuz I took a shower and THEN had fantastic sex last night. Now I feel like my lady bits need a proper wash (the wet wash rag just didnt seem to cut it) which means another effing shower.

Moral: screw first, shower second.

That's the motto I live by! If things are going in "that direction", it a quick swipe with a wet wipe then I'm good to go. Something about wet curly hair + sex have never been a good combo for me, so I always shower afterward. Pretty sure the entire beginning of our relationship it looked like I had stuck my finger in a light socket because I would ALWAYS shower before DH (then BF) would come over lol!

I've always been able to take back my unintentional flags, and my unintentional loves. You just click on them again and they disappear. At least that's how it works on my app, and online.

I have been craving an egg mcmuffin and hash brown for days. Got one this morning and it was just as awesome as I imagined. I almost went back for another one to have later, but I refrained.

@karissamonzo we can be high risk together. I guess I won't waste my time heading over to that board.

What's your story lady!?!? Sorry that's not excitement that you are high risk!

I'm having identical twin girls so started seeing the MFM two weeks ago. Everything was going great and I thought today was goin to be a "see you in two weeks" appointment. I had an ultrasound today and baby a is looking good but the fluid for baby b is low. Now I get ultrasounds twice a week. They are thinking I have twin to twin transfusion going on.

This early?  Oh girl that sucks I am sorry.  Does that mean guaranteed bedrest from early on?  I have a family friend who had triplets, and the identical twins had twin to twin transfusion and she ended up getting some sort of surgery that fixed something in the cord and it stopped (I don't know if she was a special case but it was the first I heard of surgery for that issue).  But the point of the story is that she has 3 perfect little triplet boys that are 2 years old.  They all turned out fine.

Surprisingly no bed rest. Dr said there is nothing I can do to help or hurt this. On Monday I have to go to the office at the hospital because I might have to have an amino. The dr did tell me about the surgery and if I needed it there are only a few hospitals in the country that does it. This sucks but the good thing is they caught it early and there are different things for them to help stop it.

What is twin to twin transfusion, and how is it harmful to the babies? I realize this may not be a simple explanation, but I'm genuinely curious...


The girls are sharing a placenta so it's looking like one of the girls is getting more nutrients than the other and has more fluid and room to move in her sac. It can be deadly but there are things they can do to help the baby that is not getting enough. On Monday I'm going in and if there is not more fluid in baby b sac they are going to do an amnio and remove some fluid from baby a and they hope that will allow more room for baby b. I'm staying off of dr google so I only know what my dr told me yesterday.

@Stace0616 you should be able to take a flag back by hitting "love it". 

Mamamonzo

Do you, or have you ever made a big purchase without looking at, or touching the product?  I found a crib but it's not sold in stores...I'm scared I'm not going to like the finish and the hassle of taking it back is keeping me from hitting purchase.

I got DH off of a website- no complaints.

Kidding.

But I actually did buy my wedding dress on Amazon! No regrets.

Honestly, I have to say that I've never had anything come up in the mod queue that's been flagged by you. I don't know why I didn't think of that before. 

Can you remember a poster that you think you've flag, I can always check it out.

on mobile, if you hit flag to actually flag you have to pick and option so while you think you may be accidentally flagging people, you really are not

@pineconey I got DH off a website.  I was able to see, and touch (sounds dirty) before purchasing
