I ate great all of July 4 weekend despite going to several parties (doesn't that make me sound cool?) but I am up 3 lbs. I'm still 30 over pp. wtf. ( I never want to return to work but the silver lining is I usually don't have time to eat much. Woe is me.

I'm still up 30 lbs too. We can lamet tomorrow about it if you want.

As we sip hot water with lemon and salads sans dressing I'm sure.

Fuck that. My bacon cheeseburger will taste delicious with my tears of shame.

I'm sorry in advance for this guys, but there is a place that fills cupcakes with ice cream. Actually nope not sorry at all. I will nom that with zero regrets.

Between my husband and son there's so much farting happening in this house it's like a musical!

Anyone want to loan me their daughter just to balance it out!

I don't have a bumbo we have a mega seat. I bought it for this baby so I could put her down safely for brief periods of time to keep her away from DD1.

It seemed important at the time when we bought one for DS1....now I can't figure out why we ever got it. Definitely not necessary!

I have a bumbo. DD doesn't like it for more than a couple minutes. I keep it in the bathroom so I have a place to set her down while I'm in there. She would rather sit in the boppy for longer stretches.

Sorry to burst your gas bubble, but the little ladies are no delicate flowers either :-&

True that. My daughter ripped it like a grown man when she was a baby! Historically speaking, I'm pretty sure she outfarted my son. He's rather polite actually, for a baby. Maybe he's practicing to win all the ladies in the future?

I was wondering the same...L really likes to sit up though. I have been sitting him on my lap, with the boppy over his legs and his arms on top the boppy, sort of leaning into it. He then gives a news report "live from the boppy desk". I crack us both up... I think we need to get out more.

Haha.  That's awesome.  I have a bumbo but only because my friend is loaning it to me.  DS sat in it today and had a massive poop and it didn't shoot up his back for once.  So there's that.

I don't know what brand they are, but our sheets are bamboo and they are awesome. I think they came from Bed Bath & Beyond. Soft, kind of silky, cool in the summer.

Ours are BB&B too.  Jersey beech? Something like that.

I'm pretty sure I could count on one hand the number of times we used DD's Bumbo. It's one of those things that you look at and think "oh yes, this could be useful!" ...Until you actually have a baby and you realize that a baby has no need to sit upright until he is capable of sitting upright on his own.

Target! I get all my linens there. They have great sheets. I like their Threshold brand.

My favorite sheets are from Target too. I think they were an organic cotton or something and I can't remember the brand. Whatever they are I love them way more than our more expensive ones.

As promised, scenes from our afternoon photo shoot.

"Have You Seen My Mommy?"

We'll do some more tomorrow so the book isn't super short and lame.
Any ideas of other books to recreate? I feel like this could be our fun new thing. And what kid doesn't want books they star in?

Awws, so cute! I especially love the Dr. Who one

@mandacann‌! And she's pretty awesome in real life! It made being at a potentially super horribly awkward "mom date" so much easier. A14 4 lyfe!

How did you know?

"Excuse me do you bump?!"

I recognized her name from the Facebook group. The mom's group is from meetup so I saw her name listed as attending shortly after someone mentioned an Ohio gtg on the bump fb group. I'm really not as creepy as I sound...I don't think.

Can eating too much banana pudding give my baby constipation? :-/

Finally getting to watch Willow- the movie is the reason DH wouldn't let me name DD2 Willow.

Stace0616

I'm here, kind of! James and I are visiting my parents, so solo parenting has been a huge time suck. Plus, every time I go to get online my family gets on my case about "unplugging" so I've mostly just been on my computer for Facebook updates and to update my app that tracks baby's diapers and feedings lol I offer you a picture of my squishy cheeked baby to atone for my absence:

You shouldn't be feeding your baby banana pudding until at least a year. Way too much sugar. What's wrong with you?

) Sorry, no! I'M the one eating too much banana pudding. I didn't know if certain foods could somehow affect her since I'm breastfeeding.

Watching Little Women: LA. WTF. DH has control of the remote BTW.
