Just got off a plane yesterday! We did a long sleeved onesie under fleece PJs bc I always think of planes being cold, but it was stuffy in there and it felt like overkill. I do think footie PJs are generally the right answer tho.

I'm sorry yet glad for you mamas who are taking the counseling route. It sucks to get a third party involved BUT it's good that you AND your partners want the help and are getting it. So glad it's worked for you Vin and I hope it works for you Aron

I'm getting my bf a Keurig for Xmas... I still find them annoying but he likes them and our coffe maker stopped working so he'll get a stupid keurig.... As much as I dislike them I'm STOKED to get it for him... I love gift giving

I bought a keurig 2 years ago, I'm waiting for it to die so I can get a normal coffee pot. K cups are expensive and I drink waaay too much coffee for that life. Big ol pot of coffee sounds so amazing.

While I was removing the cat from the baby, the baby managed to whip around and pull the printer down on top of himself.   X_X

Uggggggh I'm pumping on my mangled side, and trying to force this baby to take bottles from me is un-fun! It feels like he's mangling the other side too. His latch looks right, but my nipple is super stretched out when I pop him off. Why are we suddenly having newborn problems?? And of course DH just wants to wean him. Because it'll be so much "easier" for me to pump and try to force bottles on this kid. :-w And guess who acted like it was such a chore to wash bottles and bring milk everywhere we went yesterday?

So sorry you're dealing with that, the pain is no joke!  I'm glad my DH realizes that bottles are a PITA.

my bf usually makes himself a pot in the morning and drinks it up so hopefully he finds the keurig useful. There was one at his old job and I remember him saying he liked it so we shall see

I love my kuerig. I get ground coffee and use the reusable cups.

We have the useable cups too, but I'm lazy. We don't by k cups, but the idea of just having a whole pot of coffee at one time seems magical haha.

Eta: I posted before I was done typing.

lokimau

I would drink a whole pot. I love coffee. The Keurig helps me limit that to one cup maybe two a day.

I just DIY'd the crap out of those fancy light pictures everyone has been doing. I don't have a fancy camera, so I usedy phone. I am pretty pleased at how they turned out!

Share!

I blocked his face out because I'm one of those super private people.


@mommyofmac‌, I am so sorry to hear that. What a terrible ordeal. Many T&Ps coming their way.

janellemj928

Prayers for that little girl and her family, @mommyofmac‌

@Vinny424‌, I used two apps to get that look. First, "big lens" and then "snap speed." I might try to brighten it a but. Those two apps made anymore blur look waaay to blurry.

snowbound

I just downloaded it @Vinny424‌! I like it. I'm so addicted to this apps.

Eta: you can show me. I don't think you're a creeper.

Ok I need some opinions. I know these pics aren't very good, but this is about as much energy I have in doing an announcement. I was gifted these two shirts (the blue one made by our lovely Vinny) and both say 'I'm going to be a big brother' on them. At the bottom of each pic they all say 'little brother coming may 2015'. Which one is the best out of the 4? If they are all completely terrible I will redo them tomorrow!

#2!

Most definitely number 2 @ambarnett1‌!!!

janellemj928

I'm with the others, #2 @ambarnett1‌!

2 for sure!

What's up with the "recent activity" thing on the side showing people's PMs??  Someone's posted their secret santa's address out there!

ambarnett1

Thanks ladies! This is as much effort as this announcement gets, I'm so lazy lately. Good thing DS looks happy, so it makes the pic look better.

Tferr02

I love it @ambarnett1! He looks so excited about it

JessieAlbin

I love that announcement @ambarnett1, so cute!

@deidremaria‌ that exactly is why we have a keurig. DH wanted one so bad.. So I caved. Pretty sure my sister in law bought us Kcups for Christmas though, so that's cool.

And big prayers for that little girl and her family. So scary!

Just found the 2 year old painting G with my brand new Itty bitty magic stick. 4 more hours until bedtime

This made me excited because it reminded me that there's only 4 hours until bedtime and 1 1/2 hours until DH gets home. Thank goodness. Hugs though! I know some days can be especially tiring and frustrating.

Oh here? Or elfster? Because I totally PMed my address to someone on elfster today. 

Here!  It wasn't anyone from our board.  I guess that script will sometimes pick up PMs to show.  Good to know!

hlm184

Yeah, I saw it and was like "holy crap!"

In other news, my talented son created his own "crib dribbler" today.  Too bad it's already patented. 

Jessimax

Dear crazy church lady, if you yell at the children who have volunteered to be in the nativity play they will not want to and I will not force him.

DS slept until 9:45 and went down for a nap at 12- and he just woke up! I think today is going to be a good day! \:D/

Zullily has a bunch of rocker things on sale now.  I know I want one for DS's first birthday, but I really can't get it now with the move coming up.  Boo.

We just had our office Christmas lunch at a buffet. I am so full...I need a nap stat! I'm seriously not getting any work done today since now I am doing a pump break and we have a holiday dessert thing at 3ish

RedDawnsRevenge

Re-usable menstral products are now classified as class 1 medical devices...WTF

deidremaria

Prayers for that little lady starting chemo as well as the one going into surgery for ATV accident.

@poru, I feel your pain. I get those feelings sometimes too

michaelad3

@poru‌ big hugs girl. I'm not a loss mom, but I can only imagine the pain that could come out of nowhere imagining what should have been. Extra hormones sure don't help either.

hordol

DS went to town on some tater tot hotdish. I sent a pic to my mom and she was all, "is he feeding himself???" And I said yes and he was on his second helping. Then she said that she thinks she should have just given me real food when I was a baby because baby food is gross and it's amazing how he has really figured out solids now. I feel pretty proud for her to admit that!

ambarnett1

Big hugs to those having a bad day.

cnbean

I haven't been on as much lately (trying to finish making Christmas presents), did Dani leave the board and I miss it? Or is she just not on as much?

JessieAlbin

She's on vacation, lucky girl!

FWP -  I dropped my Oreo in my milk trying to stop my bowl of m&ms from tipping over while my H moved the covers. Don't worry I eventually got the Oreo out. 

That's the way to eat them! I soak mine for about 45 seconds... Yum!

I got some of Edolie's ibuprofen on my finger, so I just licked it off. Never again... :-&

Twirple

@poru you definitely get sympathy hugs from me.  It still hits me out of the blue.  When I was still expecting two I would get images in my head.  I have this Christmas card picture in my head of DS sitting in front of the Christmas tree with a baby sitting on either side of him.  

I'm sorry it hit you today.
