Re: Longest Thread EVER! (aka Random Thoughts Thread )
Here's to hoping! I mean, I will have LO to focus on so maybe I'll be distracted enough. Thanks for the encouragement!
Then I peed on a stick...
Then I peed on a stick...
Last night my friends went out and did not invite me. And I'm kinda butthurt about it.
And Zeb's mom keeps telling me thing like stupid no big deal things like... Can u make sure u keep the dryer door closed, don't use auto dry, I wash Tupperware by hand don't put it in the dishwasher, it's no big deal stuff so I don't know why I want to cry over it. And a lot if the stuff it's Zeb but she only says this stuff to me when he is not there. I feel like a huge cry baby it's so stupid. So I'm down with the chickens trying to pull my self together.
I am definitely worried that our nursery furniture is not going to fit the way I want it to as well! I am having the inside of the closet painted as well so I can take off the doors and put the dresser in there if I have to. I have almost 3 more weeks until the furniture gets here.
Dont stress. Little secret: moms are capable of handling things a lot better than other people. And when you are dealing with all that postpartum shit, you will be a mom (yay!) and seriously magically able to handle it! It will merely be annoying because you are so focused on caring for, loving, and sleeping next to your little baby. You know how the grinch's heart grew three sizes that day? My tolerance/patience grew three sizes the day my son arrived.
ETA: aka what everyone else said!
I'm in love with you.
And now I'm hungry. FML
Hells yea!!! She's so generous to give away a crib that costly. Most people would try to make something off of it. That's the amazing thing about babies. They bring out the generosity in people.

Unfortunately, yes... It coats the fabric and basically negates the flame retardant that's on it... And fabric softener is in itself flammable...and pjs specifically are the most worrisome because fleece goes up like a roman candle.
I totally understand, especially with fleece pjs! I live in a mountainous desert and we have 2 seasons here: dry & hot, and super dry & freezing ass. Static is a huge problem for me too... But in the off chance that our condo goes up in flames, I'd rather worry about whether or not DS's socks are stuck to his pjs than if a spark gets on them.
Maybe I'm just paranoid.
ETA my suggestion: try using a bit less soap, or running them through a 2nd rinse cycle to make sure all the detergent is out - this might help with stiffness. I always wash everything on cold water, and dry on low heat. I also washed baby's clothes separate from ours so that we could still use fabric softener but his clothes wouldn't have any. We also just used a free & clear detergent (I have sensitive skin anyway) instead of separate baby detergent for his stuff.

April 14 August Siggy Challenge- "This time last year.."
My experience w/DS was awesome. It was super fast (my water broke spontaneously and I only labored for 4 hours before pushing 3 times (under 2 mins) to get him out), and sure, it hurt - transitional labor is crazy intense! - but it was incredible and I am actually excited to get to do it again! There's nothing like holding your baby in your arms for the first time.
