So I totally checked with my other March 12 moms, because I'm definitely the odd one out on this board when it comes to the newborn napper on the PNP. I've never seen such animosity against the thing, it boggles my mind. You would think I laid my newborn to sleep in 17 layers of loose blankets bunched up around his head waiting to suffocate him. Seriously. This is a baby in a newborn napper. It's not a death trap.
You're far from the odd one out. Who insists this is such a horrible place for the baby to sleep? That's what it was MADE for. If I could love your post a million times I would.
And your DS in there is frickin ADORABLE.
EVERY TIME the PNP discussion comes up, it inevitably turns to "what about sleeping in the newborn napper" and I'm always the only one that says they did it/will do it again. I asked my other M12 moms and the large majority of them said they did and would again no problem. And the few dissenting opinions were all from people who are (self proclaimed) CRAZY anxious about SIDS/sleep/random stuff like that so I wasn't surprised that they didn't at all.
Also, thank you. That was the day he came home (so 4 days old). He's nekkid swaddled in the receiving blanket because he managed to pee through his diaper, and then after getting changed was starving so I just swaddled him up, fed him, and he was out like a light.
I would have had no idea that the newborn napper was so evil. I still can't see why it's a big deal when the baby is a newborn and it not rolling.

Just had a super shitty conversation with my SIL. Apparently DH's dad (I don't consider him a FIL) showe up at her house with gifts for her baby. She then said how excited she was for her son to have a cousin close in age. He responded with 'who cares this is the only grandchild that matters, he's the most important". Fuck you dude, you will never be in my sons life! I'm so hurt and mad and annoyed all at the same time.
@dani+california the point was for it to NOT be those people... Lol but I get that most don't want a FB group and think it's pointless. That's just what I would vote for

That is super shitty. I am sorry, how rude! why did your SIL indulge you with that information, I feel like it would be better not to know that?

Sounds like not being in your kid's life is the best possible present this d-bag could give to your baby. What an ass.

@dani+california We love you anyway! >:D< But honestly, I can't even blame you. I've been so absent-minded lately that SO is really starting to question if something is seriously wrong with me I can't help it that I'm clumsy, forgetful, and easily confused lately.
Got home from work, ate dinner with DH (pepperoni pull apart bread) and slept on the couch until 9:30. I moved from the couch to bed, just caught up on the RTT and now am ready to go back to sleep.
I hate being sick, but at least Peanut is feeling OK - he's thumping away in there, and that gives me a big happy.
@aviola329 you're a superhero! I haven't gone grocery shopping by myself in like a month or two! The last few times I did it alone I literally hurt myself. When I get determined to get something done, I don't stop. And that's just too much for my body right now! Make the easiest/quickest/yummiest option as a reward
I totally eat cereal out of my china bowls. They are Lennox Chirp and too cute not to get used, plus, what else am I supposed to do when I am out of clean bowls? I must have all the cereal!
I love the Lenox Chirp collection! We almost registered for that but ended up with plain white dishes and did chirp items for accessories like placemats, napkins, candle holders, etc.
That's the set we have! I love it.

LOL thanks @Eija2014...I made a quick snack to eat while I rest then I'll decide what to move onto next LOL
I'd be down for making a secret RTT facebook group, for those of us who have actually bonded, not just the folks that took off early in the game...I'd even make it myself if enough were interested...I know some don't have facebook, so I'd still use this thread too....
Do it. If it stinks oh well, but it's also really fun to put names to faces and be able to post pictures and stuff that I probably wouldn't here. I won't leave this thread, but it's another thing to distract me during the day so I'm all for it.

When/if he shows up after little man is here I would lock all the doors and turn off the lights. Fuck that noise...not even worth your time to be hurt/mad/annoyed.
Thanks ladies!! SIL told me because we're all having lots of issues with him right now, we were discussing the situation and this was just another dumb thing he said. I've told her equally shitty things that he's said about her and her DH. It's a mutual understanding to share so we have all the facts.
DH was pissed when he found out. We were all going to approach him to Try to get everything sorted but he's fed up with it and now says fuck it. He told his sister and brother if they want to deal with him they can but we're out. He has an amazing stepfather who is a great FIL and will be an amazing grandpa to our son!

Sorry you have such a super shitty FIL. Your son is so much better off not having a person like him in his life.

DH is making delicious chicken philly sandwiches right now and my house smells amazing. I went from "Eh, I could eat..." to "Oh my God I AM STARVING" in about 6 seconds once he started cooking!

My DH has a younger brother and sister who talk to their biological dad, but hubby and his older brother have zero contact with him. Bio-dad knows about our wedding and the baby through the other siblings, but it's weird because we are naming LO after DH's awesome step-father and my dad. Sorry bio-dad!
Alright, I know we've talked about this before but Amazon Mom. Who uses/used it? More specifically the auto ship?
DH and I are think this is awesome, but I'd love to hear from others who have used their service.
I haven't started it yet, I'm waiting to use my three free months when it would be useful maybe signing up next month after my shower so i can take advantage of 15% off registry completion.

I am so sorry that this happened! You don't need that kind of crap. You, your H, and your baby definitely do not deserve to be treated that way! What a douche!
Is this what a growth spurt feels like? I've been very hungry last week, baby has been moving like crazy the last three days, and I'm crazy tired. Not quite first tri tired, but close. Seriously feel like I'm giving birth to an octopus.

I bought some sweats in pretty colors for third trimester comfort. Looking at them now, I'm pretty sure they're going to make me look like a member of New Edition circa 1984.
