Took LO on a 3 mile hike in his carrier, mid hike he had a huge blow out of hot poop all over me and the carrier... 2 miles from home. Currently thinking of how I will make him pay for this when he's a teenager. Yuck!

Ewww! Lol.

Poosplosions are awesome! My LO had one that required a bath an hour ago. She's napping now. She totally pooped herself out

What's this wonder week thing? Googled it but it sounds weird since the website kept shilling the need to buy the book. I thought all babies were different.

This is why I can't read books. Too confusing. Too contradictory.

I like the app. You can put in your due date and it gives you a better timeline for the leaps. (Leaps being developmental milestones.) it's been pretty accurate for us so far.

This is my greatest fear. Also, which carrier do you use? I have gone on lots of long walks but they've all been flat. I'm nervous that more rugged terrain will be too bobbly. How did it work out?

Ergo, and it was our first time not using the infant insert!

Walked home and immediately showered with LO

Crap. I put my LO's birth date into Wonder Weeks, not due date.

We seem to be on an every other day poop schedule. One day nothing, the next shit your brains out. Today has been a shitty day, literally.

Also.... This

Just ordered this for DS. Now he can join all the LOs in A14's Wubbaclub!

@dani+california‌ I kinda forced a scheduled on my LO but it's not perfect. I let him do whatever during the day (sleep wise) but once 5/6pm hits I wake him up to eat. Then we "play" until about 7/8ish before we take a bath, put on jammie's, eat again and go to bed. I usually get decent amount of sleep during the first stretch.

@mamrotu73‌ DH does raspberries to dd and she looks at him like he's nuts every time! That's so cute that A does them. My DH would be jealous

Noooo! We are right at the 6w spurt which everyone said was way worse than 3. And we just finished the first leap. Why does it get worse?! Get better!

My normally happy baby is so fussy it's crazy. She's also super clingy to the point where she was crying hysterically today because DH stopped looking at her while he was eating lunch and she was next to the table in her RNP. Every time he looked at her she stopped crying and smiled. I hope this goes by quick but I've been told weeks 8 to 12 are pretty bad.

She's lucky she's cute I'll tell you that!

Ok overshare: mirena users, can you feel the strings? Are you supposed to? I should've asked when he put it in but I forgot.

cgoldian

We haven't gotten through an entire bedtime story without DD crying. I feel like a crappy mommy

@Emily041285‌ you're not "supposed" to but everyone I know who has had it said they could. Major reason I opted not to go with it.

MadBloom

Had an extremely fussy baby. Got her naked on her change pad on the floor and gave her a rub/massage with lotion. No more fussing!!

Hmmm. Slight bummer but too late now I guess! The idea of no pill every day appealed to me. Plus I met my deductible so it was basically free.

Might be growing pains. I remember they hurt soooo bad (7-10) but if it hurt then I'm sure it always hurts. So when I know she is going through a growth spurt I give lots of massages.

RTT Ladies, I have a request: Enjoy Memorial Day weekend! And while you do, please remember 1st Lt Roz Schulte, my friend and classmate. 5 years ago she was killed by an IED in Afghanistan and buried on Memorial Day, 2009. She was a fantastic person and an awesome leader. Here's an article about her if you want to know more: https://projects.militarytimes.com/valor/air-force-1st-lt-roslyn-l-schulte/4102502 Thanks!

Hey @mamrotu73, I thought of you today-- there was a tribute to 1st Lt. Schulte on NPR! I'm not sure if you heard it, but it you haven't here is the link: https://hereandnow.wbur.org/2014/05/23/remember-memorial-day

Thanks for your service!

I should be asleep

@MrsStanton87‌ you should come up to Portland we can walk the babies on the waterfront and go to lunch!

Sounds like everyone had an enjoyable holiday weekend.

I have a nosy question. My brother and SIL are TTC. We were at their house putting dd down for a nap in their guest room and saw a Clear Blue easy preg test in the trash. I'm a nosy biatch so I took it out. It didn't show a plus, and there was only one line in the display window, but it was going the opposite direction as the one in the example thingy. There was not a plus. Is this a BFP? I know CBEs have issues with false positives and evap lines especially after the timeframe, but just curious (nosy).

@KendraColeslaw @aronie82 @deidremaria Oh my gosh!! I thought I was the only one whose underarms itched during nursing! Does anyone know why this is a thing?? It's so annoying.

I didn't even consider growing pains! I just figured that she was enjoying her little massage!

My SIL keeps making comments about my LO "being cuter than he used to be," "growing into his features," and "not being as cute as his sister." She also said today, "it's ok, maybe he'll be the smart one."

I don't know if she's just fucking with me or if she's trying to be funny, but I wanna TP her bad. You don't say that shit about someone else's kids, especially not your niece and nephew!

deidremaria

@Teresa1896‌ that's really rude of her. It's even worse if she's saying these things in front of your son! She needs to be checked on those comments

Our mammary glands extend into our armpits and from what I've read online a couple times, those glands are modified sweat glands that make the tissue around the gland itch during letdown.

Yeah, after I asked the question here, I decided to ask Google. I discovered the same info. That's pretty weird!

Anyone have an Ergo carrier?
Is the infant insert worth the extra money? Penny IS pretty small still. Not quite 9 pounds and 6 weeks...

We used it till LO was 6 weeks and 11 pounds.

DH got A-game to nap on our bed and I went in there to talk to him for a minute. Every time I spoke, A smiled!

Heart: *splort!*

deidremaria

Sometimes I wonder if My bf forgets which one of us carried this baby for 10 months. I fucking hate when he says shit like 'don't worry son, dad's here' while I'm trying to sooth the kid as he cries. By all means dude, pull out your fucking tit and feed the screaming hangry baby.

Good to know, maybe I'll stick to the k'tan for a few more weeks. I just got an ergo but haven't tried it yet. She's probably too little right now. I just threw out an Ad on my local moms facebook group to see if anyone is willing to lend me one so we'll see how that goes.
