@macgrs Totally. I read that over after I posted it and was like, "I just did a status update about my daughter's gastrointestinal problems and poops..." :-bd

Stabler is one hot piece of ass

Hell yeah. Are you watching his new show, Surviving Jack? It's a crack up and he's so good.

He was actually voted "Best Ass on Tv" by TV Guide magazine.

And I hate to break it to you ladies, but "Surviving Jack" got cancelled :-(

@AprilMay9 I get that. We're getting AC installed starting tomorrow (2 day job). Josie and I have been camping out in the bedroom where we have a window unit because the baby can't sleep in the heat. And it's not even that hot here! She's her father's daughter.

BiggerinRealLife

It's 1:45am. Baby's been asleep since 10:30. Why am I still awake??? @-)

@kcp913‌ - just remember, happy mama=happy baby. You really need some you time in order to be able to function for your LO - no guilt necessary!

@BiggerinRealLife‌ - yay for poops!

Also, this whole reverting back to a 3-4 hr 'long' first stretch after doing 5-7hrs all last week is really messing with me. Not cool, baby. Not. Cool.

allyandmike24

9pm to 5am stretch! Just fed lo and pumped in record time. Holy shit I'm almost too excited to go back to sleep. Jk zzzzzzz.

My kid gives no fucks about the ceiling fan. He smiles at my and DH's faces, and recently the little plush mobile animals on his bouncy seat, but no fan fascination here.

I put emma to bed at 8:45 last night, it's almost 7:30 and she's still sleeping.

Ohhhh Halloween!!! I can't wait to dress him up and see all the A14 costumes. I die!

I wish there was a swaddle that looked like a burrito. I just talked my dog through the making of a baby-rito while re-swaddling A after a feed and diaper change.

There is one! It looks like a tortilla haha

@mamrotu73 and @MrsW26 and everyone else wishing their swaddle could look like a burrito, I present to you the Tortilla Baby Swaddle. I happened across this a few days ago and thought it was hilarious and so cute too!

Edit: It looks like @Ashleyahann beat me to the punch, but still - I die!! )

I overslept this morning by half an hour, and then I realized that outside of the crazy thunderstorm that woke me up for a minute, I didn't get up at all last night after I fed Aiden at 11... 7 hours! He slept 7 hours!!! Fluke or not, I'll take it!  \:D/

deidremaria

I'm totally lurking from work... I can't wait until I'm no longer too busy to bump. Do I still count as an RTTer?

eireyes

Once an RTTer always an RTTer in my book @deidremaria. Dirty lurk all you want, as long as you share baby cuteness when you get back!

@BIRL So excited for you that she went on her own! It's no fun to watch LO's in pain and not be able to help. I hope the change is permenent for you.

mrscrcalli

Good morning RTT..

Apparently LO doesn't like to sleep in hotel rooms.

Last night was nnnneeeeaaaatttttt

fireflygirl12

@kcp913 don't feel guilty! Sometimes it's good for you to get away and good for your DH to spend some time with the baby too. It doesn't make you selfish by any means!

After getting clipped...

He doesn't look too upset! How did it go?

thomas930

Yay for poop! @BiggerinRealLife

@kcp913 Mommy guilt sucks, but you gotta take time to recharge every so often. Try not to feel guilty about it

@MrsStanton87‌ Good luck! Hopefully it will be a quick and easy experience for you!

My AW for the day...

I've been on Zoloft for a month now. I feel like I have my life back! I can't believe how much has changed over the past few weeks and how much I'm enjoying my time with my kids now. I never doubted my love for my children, but I was always doubting my parenting abilities and so afraid to be left alone with them all the time, so that made being a SAHM really tough. The improvement on my anxiety and OCD has been like night and day. I can't believe I waited 5 years to get help. 

Mamamonzo

@thomas930‌ I'm so glad you're feeling so much better! How about an AW of Logan!???

allyandmike24

@p&b175 poor dude- hope you're both feeling better soon! 

@mrsstanton87 So exciting!! Good luck! We're starting to house hunt, too- it's going to be an adventure for sure! 

Edited because mommy's brain no worky without coffee

edoliesmom

@thomas930‌ So happy for you! I know it's easy to say, "I should've done this differently," but just be proud of yourself for finally getting the help you needed and moving forward as the awesome mom you are that your kids will remember you as as they grow older.

thomas930

Ok here is my (big) little guy's 2 month pic!

Thanks girls!

rtv3

Good luck @MrsStanton87‌!

And good for you, @thomas930‌ - you are an awesome mom for getting the help you needed

baileymama3

Well, NJ turnpike 4 hrs from home is the best place to have your first blowout!!! Dh picked him up and was like, "poor guy is so sweaty." Me: "Ummm NOT sweat!!"

Doing our first full day of house hunting today. Gahhh I'm so excited and nervous about this whole thing. 

Send me good house finding juju ladies! :-*

Sending alll the juju!!!

michaelad3

@MrsStanton87‌ good luck! I know how exciting and also frustrating house hunting can be. I hope it's an easy process for you!

@thomas930‌ hooray for feeling human again! It's great that you are feeling so much better and can enjoy your mommyhood

Had a dream last night that Red from OITNB was the chef for some building I lived in. I complained that she didn't have mac&cheese and she beat me nearly to death with her metal ladle.

tamaraaaa

Today is ridiculous bow day... Isla isn't sure about it.

Teresa1896

So, instead of having a pacifier sucker or a thumb sucker, we apparently have a fist sucker. Oh well. If its something that helps him settle his shit down, it's cool in my book.... For now.

Yay, @thomas930‌! Glad to hear you're feeling better. I can only imagine how overwhelming it is to be a sahm when you feel like you were.

bootsiebabe

@MrsStanton87‌ good luck with house hunting!
@thomas930‌ glad you are feeling better!
@fourthnlast‌ we had a good night of sleep too. Maybe some sort of karmic reward for the day time crabbiness?

mrscrcalli

I love listening to 90s country music on road trips!

Garth Brooks FTW!

BiggerinRealLife

@thomas930 So happy for you hon! 

Mamamonzo

Who here had the original Polly Pockets? I just found a post about 90's toys! I had all the Polly Pockets. The things the girls have now are stupid.

Although I admit the ones I had were a major choking hazard!!

thomas930

Loved my Polly Pockets!
