My SIL is pregnant again! (The one who lost her baby about 4 days before Aislyn was born). They are understandably waiting to tell people except my brother slipped and told my mom who then to me even though she wasn't suppose to. I really suck at secrets I know I'm going to blow this!

I really hope you can keep it to yourself. I remember how annoyed I was when I found out my sis was telling people I was pregnant when I wasn't ready for anyone to know. She would go as far as to tell them to pretend they didn't know.

I found out I'm going to be an aunt! My soon to be sister in law is pregnant! I'm doe excited DS will have a cousin so close in age!

Quinn woke up at 7, what a sleep in! He is sick though so I'm not getting my hopes up that this is going to happen again.

Going to an orthodontist today to find out about getting braces on the INSIDES of my teeth! How did I not know this was possible? Neat

That sounds like it would be terrible on your tongue! Ouch. But maybe the "equipment" is different.

Sounds like everyone is getting pregnant! Goodness gracious!

So my husband is sick for like the third time in 2 months. This time he has fever, body aches and chills. Edolie and I went to the IL's yesterday to steer clear of him, and we kicked my brother out of his room last night in an effort to hopefully not get whatever he has! I'm so exhausted from going all day yesterday and then having to come back while taking care of Edolie all by myself AND a sick husband at the same time. I have a feeling today is going to be another long day. (:|

The toddler broke a gnome this morning and told me bears did it. WTF when did he learn to make up stories like that???

I was teaching kindergarten one time... I don't even remember what it was I said, but I asked them a question, and this one little boy started telling me very seriously about a werewolf that lived in their classroom.

@MrsW26. @lokimau. So sorry for both of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

@MrsW26‌ and @lokimau‌ I'm so sorry for both of your losses. I will keep you and your families in my thoughts and prayers.

Hahaha I love it! C's being saying anything scary is "bears" for a while. If it's windy out, he'll point to the window and say, "Oh no, bears!" But this is first time he blamed something on the bears.

Is it weird that I'm proud? I'm so proud. I think lying is pretty big thing in language development, you know?

Its a fun stage. We have ghosts here. They hang out everywhere - sometimes DD is scared of them - other times she wants to feed them or bring them toys.

Tried posting a TY in Elfster but it won't let me so I'm going to AW here. Once again thank you @knotty-girl‌ !

Convertible carseat installed, with much help from the carseat lady.  Who writes these stupid installation manuals that come with the seat??

I can't get into my dr until Jan 9th now. I'm officially out of pain killers. This is not going to be a very good few weeks for DH, since it's all because he didn't update my insurance stuff when he inprocessed at this post.

Well just as I was hitting breaking point, he vomited all our bed. Not spit up, real vomit, and he had diarrhea too for good measure. At least now I know what's wrong, but ugh!

Anyone know if I can put a feather duvet in the wash? And of course it's the only mattress in the house without a waterproof cover!

Yes. I wash mine all the time. I toss a few tennis balls in the dryer with it so it doesn't clump up.

deidremaria

Hopefully he's got some relief from throwing up and pooping. Sleep and relief juju for all of you.

Sorry for all your losses this weekend! I hope you had a wonderful vacation, Dani. 

CalinAZ

@lokimau‌ so very sorry for your family's loss

@celticlullaby - ugh, you've been through the ringer today! Hope your little one feels better soon. Tomorrow has to be better, right?

I think I'm finally done buying all the big presents for Christmas! I have to say, now that I have 2 nieces, 1 nephew, and another on the way (due on the 28th!), plus Evan, Christmas shopping is so much more fun. I love buying toys

edoliesmom

A funny for anyone needing one:

I changed Edolie on the living room floor today. When I was done, I got up to throw her diaper away, then started doing some other things around the apartment. Brent picks her up, and she's standing up trying to get the Christmas tree. After I minute I hear him say, "She doesn't have a diaper on!"

I forgot to put a diaper on her. How does that even happen?! This momma needs some sleep. lol

edoliesmom

@celticlullaby‌ Goodness.. and I thought I was having a rough couple of days! I hope your little guy starts feeling better soon, and that you can all get some rest!

Mom who won't hold her baby?

Some crazypants didn't want to spoil a newborn by holding her for feedings. It made me so sad - it made me think of monkey experiments with the wire mother and it's like she's doing that with her baby!

Please tell me CPS took the baby away. That woman shouldn't have a baby.

JessieAlbin

I can't even with the baby wearing nanny. I hope your night gets better though, and I approve of rereading the Dani vacay story, @celticlullaby‌!

People are crazy. Don't have kids if you don't want to love on them!

Moms of belly sleepers, how long did it take before you stopped compulsively checking to make sure your baby is breathing and okay? This is night 3 or crib/belly sleeping and I'm so anxious. I feel like I can't relax. I know she's okay, but I'm compelled to check her and then get myself into a panic

Alera's been belly-sleeping for a couple months or so and if I'm not in close enough proximity with her to hear her breathing (or snoring like she is right now, lol) I check on her every half hour or so. I can't help it, but do feel like I'm a little crazy sometimes. x.x;;

michaelad3

@MrsStanton87‌ I do have a video monitor, but I can't see her face when she's on her stomach, and I can't usually see if she's breathing, so I obsess

Baby went down at 7.  I went to bed before 10.

Woke up at 3:30, checked to make sure baby was still alive, pumped a few ounces, went back to bed.

Baby woke up at 4:30 for a quick snack, then slept again until 7:30.

Hallelujah!

Also, mom finished my woven wrap!  So excited to get it and try it out!

michaelad3

I am so pissed at my husband I could spit flames! He has been up all night playing video games and still has not come to bed. He is home with dd all day tomorrow while I'm at work, and she will most likely be up for the day in about 3 hours. I really don't know what his plan is or in what world he thinks this is okay, but I am so mad! Ugh! I kind of want her to wake up early or be difficult tomorrow to teach him a lesson, but I'm also a little concerned for his supervisory abilities.

snowbound

I would be irritated too @michaelad3‌ but he will soon learn his lesson. I would just call/text every few hours to check in if you're concerned he might pass out or something.

If a stranger is coming to your home for dinner, is serving fish a no-no?  I know there are a fair number out there who don't eat fish...

eireyes

I don't drink coffee much if at all, but I need all the coffee today... Sick baby who coughs himself awake at night is killing me. He's pretty much fine during the day with a runny nose, but that runny nose is murder right now while he's sleeping.  (:|

The keurig is here! I'm soooo excited for Christmas! I hope he's excited when he opens it. I'm gonna deep clean the kitchen on christmas eve so he has the perfect spot for it on christmas day

I'm terrified of dentist, for no real reason, but I had to make an appointment for Friday. I really don't want to go.

snowbound

I hate the dentist. Last time I went (in August) I left with more problems than I came in with. What the what.

I know I have 3 cavities, I know I need my wisdom teeth removed because they fuckered up my teeth with a permanent retainer on them. I really just do not want to go in. Oh and I need a cleaning which I hate more than fillings, those ladies are rough with the tools .

snowbound

I had some fancy cleaning with a water sprayer type thing. No pain. She even put some numbing stuff on there since I'm sensitive. Ask if they can do that for you.

I personally would be upset if I was invited over and fish was being served. I would probably then feel like I was being ungrateful and not say anything though. lol Usually when being invited over, we're asked if there's anything we don't like.

Yeah, this is a last-minute thing where DH last night was like "Hey can I bring this guy who is visiting work from somewhere else over for dinner."  I told him to find out if the guy eats fish or not but they're super busy at work today so the odds of him remembering and then remembering to tell me are pretty much non-existent.

I think I'll make the chowder I was planning on, but have a backup.
