My husbands best friend from bootcamp just got married on oct. 12, and they are pregnant! We are stopping by their base on our way home to see them! I'm so excited! Yay for honeymoon babies!

I'm so stressed and pissed. We are moving from my inlaws to my parents house because my inlaws need to sell ASAP. Everyone keeps making all these plans and then giving me something to do that I can't do with the baby. I haven't really eaten anything today. I pulled in the driveway expecting everyone else to pull up so we can get our bed upstairs. The nursery has all of our crap in it and I can't move it out until our bed is taken care of. Well, I just got a call that everyone is going out for wings and beer and will be a couple hours. I would love to go but DS is a mess and has diarrhea so I dont want to take him out to dinner.

Ugh that sucks. Deep breaths! Maybe you can enjoy some time alone with your DS while you wait for everyone else. Hugs

When DH realized what was going on he came home, ordered us a pizza and fixed up our bed. :x

So sweet! He's a keeper

@edoliesmom‌ you're so sweet to be there for your family like that. I'm sure your SIL can rest a little easier knowing she has you! Can you believe your producing for two babies now?? Superwoman!

I've been a little silent the past week, but I need a little support so I'm going to ask you ladies.

I had a funeral today for a friend, he was 24. We've been friends for a majority of those years, he's only a few months older than I. After he was given military honors, another family friend was taken away from the funeral in an ambulance and DH and I were notified tonight that he didn't make it. It's been a rough week with many tears and it looks like the week ahead won't be any better.

Any prayers, thoughts, or good vibes for strength that can be sent this way would be so appreciated.

lol Well, it was just for a few hours! She ended up not being admitted but wasn't able to nurse him for 6 hours because of some meds she was given. It was a pretty cool feeling even though it was a short period of time!

@janellemj928 Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry. It's heartbreaking enough to lose someone, but it's even more to have tragedies happen back-to-back like that. I can't imagine. I'll say a pray for you and the families of both of the people who are gone.

Oh @janellemj928‌ I'm so sorry for you and all the families. I'll keep you all in my thoughts

Jessimax

So sorry @janellemj928‌. Seems even harder to lose someone this time of year. My aunt dad Christmas eve last year and it really puts a damper on what is suppose to be a happy time of year

Anyone ever heard anything about babies getting almond milk? Not as a breast milk replacement obviously, but we have almond milk smoothies for breakfast every morning and DD likes to sample everythibg we eat.

JessieAlbin

My kid has his tongue out all. The. Time. He keeps pulling himself up on my leg and licking my knee. Cut it out, weirdo!

Wish me luck... submitting my back country permit request for our Grand Canyon Adventure I'm planning for LO's 1st and DH and mine's 30th B-day celebration next spring!  Fingers crossed!

Feeling grumpy today. Stupid mangled nip won't let me pump at anything but the lowest setting (I usually do the highest and DD nurses like a little Hoover) so now I have clogged ducts in addition to a slowly healing bitten nipple. I keep considering weaning to formula and then feeling guilty

Please don't tell DH, he keeps pestering me to go to this place in northern Ontario he used to go to as a kid and I have been using the kids are too young excuse since DS was born 4 years ago. My camping requires bathrooms, showers and access to civilization

Hahaha, I love it!  DH is the reluctant one here, since baby the only camping we've done has been in a trailer, so he's pretty nervous about the tent thing.  I'm excited though - I promised myself this when I was pregnant, I didn't want to have to give up backpacking for years!

Just put up the tree! Yay! Also have a Christmas wax in the Scentsy. :x

Ladies. I just discovered the slow mo video option on my new iPhone. Taking slow mo video of Sullivan: pure gold. Freaking hilarious! If you have this capability on your phone, do yourself a favor and take some slow mo footage of your baby. Right now.

deidremaria

You guys are making me regret not setting up my tree today. Also @JessieAlbin‌ I've had my iPhone 6 for a month and have yet to record Dylan in slomo. I shall do this asap

JessieAlbin

We set up blocks for him to knock over and it looks like baby Vanzilla stomping over to destroy block city. So. Dang. Funny.

So my DH brought home some of the deer he shot. He thinks we need to throw out a whoooole bunch of my BM freezer stash to make room for it. No. Just no.

Teresa1896

@purespark‌ we're working through our frozen food. But his parents have a huge sub zero freezer and 3 additional small freezers where he could store his silly 5 lbs of venison. :-)

You don't have space for 5 lbs? Your stash must be huge!

I'm exaggerating the amount of venison by a bit.... Maybe more like 20 lbs. But yeah, our little half freezer (waist high) is full of BM with only a little other stuff.

JessieAlbin

I can't wait to mail my buddy's gift tomorrow!

janellemj928

Thanks for all of the support, you ladies never fail to make someone feel better.

I keep seeing Christmas pics on IG and think I need to try them, but I honestly don't have any light strings. I fail, haha.

M has been "eating" dinner for 45 minutes and is still going strong.  I am enjoying the little break!

My tree has a weeping angel on top. Cuz I'm a nerd.

Also, a paper plate angel with a picture of me from kindergarten on the second highest branch. Cuz I'm cheap.

Bump crush up! I really want to get a weeping angel for my tree now! Where did you find it?

We got our tree last night but I rinse it with water and let it sit outside for a day. Tree goes up and decorated December 1st for the 25 days of Christmas!

I'm gonna take mine out of the box tomorrow. I may or may not decorate it tomorrow night. I invited my mom and sister to come over and help decorate next weekend if decorations aren't on it yet because my bf doesn't get into the holiday spirit.

ladygali

@Vinny424‌ I have never heard of rinsing the tree. Does it just get the bugs and sap off?

ladygali

We wish you a bare-y Christmas.

Argh! I just had DS asleep in the crib and turned on his sleep sheep and it was SO EFFING LOUD! Thanks DH. Back to rocking an awake baby. X(

I am skipping so much. What an amazing week this has been. I finished my semester early, G turned 8 months, I got to get away with DH and my new last name, and we decorated for Christmas. So far the elf on the shelf, which Erin named Kelvin, has brought letters from Santa requesting that we go through old clothes, toys, and get flu shots together. Tonight, Kelvin is bringing an Advent calender, and this year we're really going to teach the meaning of Christmas (to me) which is to give. We're going to have weekly advent dinners with the advent prayers. I can't wait to include her into everything. I also found a book called :Christmas is Comin' to Montana" and it's super cute. i found a really old Nutcracker pop up book from England, and two classic Christmas books. The elf really helps me get the point across while being my go between to Santa. i'm hoping that this will reduce the amount of junk we have to buy vs learning toys and information books and toys.
