This may be dumb but how do you guys tell when to move up a size? Liam is still wearing newborns at 7 weeks. They still seem to fit ok. But I am not sure what I should be looking for.
Lucas was peeing out of ever diaper I changed his pjs like 4 times one night. I was so sick of it I moved him up and the problem stopped
Thanks @mamamonzo & @3crazykitties I guess I will wait and see cause he hasn't been leaking yet. I thought newborns were only supposed to last a little while I guess not for my little peanut.
We were in NB for a loooooong time. Granted we had extra time since he was only 5lbs at birth! I don't think we moved to 1's until 8 weeks we're at 13 weeks now with no leaks but they are getting tight on his belly. 2's are in the very near future.
@allyxcore85 it depends on the baby- if Liam is long and skinny they should be fine. Willa has astounding chunky thighs and we had no choice but to size up because we physically couldn't fit NB on her anymore. We're about to move up to size twos very soon.
@macgrs@poru thanks ladies it was a rough night she's feeling better today. Poor baby was up a lot last night saying her teeth hurt:( Good news about the breast milk I hope he doesn't get it.
Best thing ever happened last night. mIL was here to help with Penny so I could catch up on a few chores at the house. Penny started freaking out after only 30 minutes with MIL. She was walking with her trying all the gas tricks to help her pass gas because she's only like that when she's gassy. I finally came downstairs and sat next to them and Penny instantly stopped fussing and looked at me. So I took her up to lay down in bed with me and as soon as we layed down she just smiled and smiled and started cooing at me. Little girl just wanted her momma! First time I've felt a really strong connection like that. Until now i just figured she thought I was the food! Now I know that I'm also her person that she just wants to be around. I love this little fuss monster.
@AprilMay9 Behold the hotness that is me at 14.
Mortal Kombat, anyone? It's completely gone now, thank God. No scars or anything, you can't even tell that I was a prison bitch anymore!
OMG Dani! Did your parents kill you? Mine let me get my belly button pierced at 15, but I got my car taken away for getting my tongue pierced, b/c only whores get their tongues pierced.
@AllyxCore85 DS1 had skinny legs, but kind of a chunky belly. We would have to size up b/c they wouldn't fit his belly, but then the legs were too loose and poop would run out. I hope this doesn't happen to you cuz it's a real PITA!
Dani that picture is hilarious... And since you said you are no longer a prison bitch, in my mind you've escaped from Orange is the New Black and live a great, bumpy filled life... I might need real friends and exposure to the outside world soon.
In other news, last night we went ghetto... Changing pad in the bed with us since it's the only place she likes to be and boom, MAGIC. Woke up at 4 to eat, currently still sleeping. Angels are singing in this house this morning... I'm off to buy a changing pad for every room!

Haha actually I hid it from my mom for a whole year. Then one day when we got into a fight, I was all 'OH YEAH?! WELL I HAVE A TATTOO!' and showed it to her.
She had zero reaction, but she later told me it was because she didn't want to give me the satisfaction. Haha I hope I never have a daughter, especially not one like me!
------------------------------------ Haha. I wish she would have laughed at you when you flashed it!
Is it tacky to do birth announcements this late? I had planned to do them and didn't get there and now shutterfly is having a sale.
same question! and please do share whatever code you're planning on using.
we didn't do announcements with kiddo but i definitely want to do them with tessa. we just got our newborn photos back a week ago (my fault for dragging my feet) so now is the time!
I attempted to make one of those footprint things for DH with the plaster. Yeah. Not happening. DS kept curling his toes whenever his feet touched it, so all I got was two misshapen holes in the cast and a really dirty baby. And yes he almost fell in the sink as I took his picture. I'm an awesome mom
I did salt dough hand prints for DH. Lucas had flour in his hair,ears, eye lashes, and in between his fingers. I kept finding the flour for days lol.

Same thing happened to us. I wanted to do her feet because I figured I wouldn't be able to keep her hands open. It never occurred to me that she would curl her toes. Oh well.
@poru she would be your best friend. Fudgsicals are her fav last night I convinced her an orange smoothie was orange ice cream she bought it for like 15 mins haha

We did a footprint plate for Mother's Day for the grandparents... I thought I was being smart doing it while she was asleep-not so much. Her bassinet has dried pink paint alllll over it still...
1. I cannot believe tattoo removal only cost $1200...and WORKS! Amazing. I don't have any I want to remove but I've paid about that in laser hair removal and still have some hair. Bullshit for me.
2. The "mothers curse" has been lodged at me by my mother since I was old enough to remember it ("I hope someday you have a daughter JUST LIKE YOU!!") bah! No! What a blessing having a boy was in light of that serious threat!
Playtime with the vicious flea bag, obviously he is trying to eat her face.
However, he did keep trying to lay on top of her. We still have some work to do. Maybe @mamrotu73 can come help me train him to be awesome like her dog
@MrsStanton87, not sure if they have it at BRU, but we have the jeep liberty stroller and love it. We've had it for dd and now DS. Carseat straps into it. We have done a lot of walks on trails/sidewalks and we've had a ton of flat tires- DH replaced the tire tube thingies with "mr toughies" brand and no flats since!

Just took out my bathing suits. None of them remotely cover more than my nips. Where can I find some bathing suits that hoist up and cover these newly huge boobs?
Did anyone else fall for the Chinese symbol tattoo? It's supposed to say big sister. According to my old college roommate from china it says sister market. It's supposedly a simple fix but I'd rather it was gone.
Isn't this lovely? Apparently my neighborhood has some little jerks around...
I wouldn't be so mad if my damn mail wasn't in there and I actually had non-junk mail (bday cards, Father's Day gift, and a check!) that is ruined. The bastards took out each piece and put shaving cream on it.
Sorry if the pic is sideways!
That stinks! Tampering with mail is a federal offense, but little creeps that would do that, would probably just laugh if you told them.

Oh my goodness. When will people ever take texting and driving seriously? I'll be praying for your aunt swerb
Seriously. In CA you can't drive and talk on your phone either and although this is taking major adjustment on my end, it's also nice to know you are a little safer... Fx for her and a quick recovery Swerb.

Still undecided on the announcements but I did order DH a phone case for Father's Day. Originally $58. I paid $30 including tax!
