oh and @bluebird2318, I am obsessed with your children and going through your photos. cutest things ever.
Thank you! Sorry for the random add. I was just hoping you knew who I was, haha. I was Facebooking on my phone today and my list of "people I might know" was filled with RTTers so I added up on everyone I could recognize by name or profile picture. 8->

Mamas feeling guilty because their babies are sick : My LO doesn't even go to daycare and he's got a cold that makes him sound like a duck pig hybrid It's ok . It sucks but we can't be having bubble children
- Thoughts of the day : Old navy baby socks are the best
Couldn't find any track pants for LO that weren't thin like Jammies . This is Canada we are going to require some warmth in the pant area
My mother in law had a forty min conversation with me about cuddle bags vs snowsuits. And yes I had no idea what a cuddle bag was prior to today standing in The Bay. In case you re curious im going to go with cuddle bag but really it doesn't matter what I pick because she ll buy him whatever one I don't Considering he doesn't go far outside my plan was winter jacket and blanket on his legs until we got to the car . Apparently that will get authorities called on you according to my mil .
Baby gap wanted me to pay 32.50 for baby pants . Just one pair . 25 I would do ( and tell DH they were 15 ) but come on 32.50!?
I feel like my jogging stroller is ghetto as hell now that I saw just about every other person with a city select , quinny or uppababy. I've been stalking origami s on kijiji but the price would have to be awesome considering no warranty when used

I'm letting MIL watch A for a few hours tomorrow and I'm nervous about it. Every time he fusses, she feeds him, which results on him overeating and spitting up, which wastes milk too. She doesn't understand that he has other needs beyond food. She texted me yesterday just to tell me to be sure to pack enough milk because he gets cranky when he's hungry. Well no shit, Sherlock.

Oh, the sweet sound of quiet playing after Sullivan throws a fit about..well come to think of it I'm not sure what that mess was over. He's been playing and entertained for a while, has a clean diaper, fresh onesie, refused a bottle, cried when held, he likely needs a nap in his life but he is fighting it like it's his job... Oh wait. The quiet is over.
Piney, if she's feeding him all the time and won't listen, I'd pre-make the bottles and make them smaller than you normally would. Maybe make a list of other soothing methods and ask her to please run down the list before she feeds him again. Or ask her to call or text you first when she wants to feed him before the schedule dictates.
I just read about Jill Duggar. I knew she would get pregnant right away. I can't imagine waiting a year to have sex with my future husband. Maybe I'm just a horny whore though (I probably am in their eyes).
My daughter kills me with cuteness sometimes. Dorian was fussing so she grabbed his bottle off the table, went over to him, and put it in his mouth. The bottle was empty but it's the thought that counts. D'awwwww...

Ok finally caught up! Whew, you ladies have been busy. The whole formula shaming is for the birds and I'm pretty proud to be a small part of this mom army. Fun fact: I went back to reread @Vinny424's post on the Giant FB page and saw that my husband's 87 yo grandma Liked it, too! She's the best!
Ok a14, if y'all need something else to grab the pitchforks about...
My coworkers just came back to work after having been off for the summer. They are all moms but none of them have bf. There have been multiple times, already, when they've teased me about pumping, for example, one coworker saw my bm in the fridge and said, "eww! Gross! That came out of your body! I don't need to see it!" They tease me that my pump is louder than other people's pumps. One even told me that when she worked at a daycare, she had to treat bm like a "hazardous material." (I don't think that's what she meant, but still idiotic).
I've worked with these ladies for years and consider them friends, which makes the situation tricky. I don't want to tattle but I did just let my supervisor know that they were harassing me about pumping. She offered to speak to them but I think I'm just going to wait it out. I assume they'll knock it off. They think they're being funny, but dude...not funny. It's hard enough to be a working mom, to find the time and space to pump, and then to be teased about it makes it even worse. I don't care, but it just pisses me off. I've never said one word about my friend's choice to formula feed. I did tell them to grow up and get over it. I hope that ends things because I don't really want to get them in trouble since we're friends, but it's not acceptable.

Lovetitting left and right because I missed waaaayy too much to comment on everything. DD hit 3.5 months and went from STTN 9-7, which was awesomesauce, to doing 7-7 with 2 wake-ups. I know I shouldn't complain because it could be so much worse but I'm most definitely not a fan of MOTN feedings So now I'm bathtub drinking and bumping with classical music on Pandora. Aaaahhhhh...

Food co-op : like a smaller grocery store, "owned" by members who contribute to decision making (such as ordering). Often has local and organic products.

I'm so annoyed at DH right now. Weeks ago he told me that he gets done with class on Sept 5 and it'll only take him 3 days to out process. Just last night I asked him again, so we can meet up on the 13th for a night away? And then come back to kids and go visit his family in AL and he said yes, go ahead and book a hotel. Luckily I procrastinate and I haven't yet because tonight he gets all pissed at me and says he never said those dates, he can't go on leave until the 15th. WTF?! I already have babysitters lined up, already told his family we were coming on certain days and told my family when we were leaving. And then he blames me! And says he didn't call to fight about dates so he will talk to me later, he's going to bed.
@macgrs so far, no dice. Boston RE is insane, so not surprising. We saw a place yesterday and them noticed a huge pile of belongings on the curb. The nosy old neighbor confirmed that the previous tenants had bed bugs. ::shudder:: thanks for asking!!!! We'll find something !
@Tferr02 sorry that happened. I know how much you were looking forward to reuniting.
@vinny424 do you have grays?!? I could never tell. I'd try and find a picture of bad manic panic hair but I'm mobile and tireedddd. Picture Newbury comics circa 2000.
Im bath bumping. Im beginning to think I need to switch just to formula. Even though all the meds have been approved by our dr and pedi, im super uncomfortable with it and im extremely guilty about it all the time. But, this time I actually can bf, I like it, and its so much less expensive. I don't have any clue. Ugh

In case you re curious im going to go with cuddle bag but really it doesn't matter what I pick because she ll buy him whatever one I don't
Considering he doesn't go far outside my plan was winter jacket and blanket on his legs until we got to the car . Apparently that will get authorities called on you according to my mil .

I have found jelly. I have a very particular set of skills. I will look for you, I will find you, and I will add you. Haha! :-j
For reals though isn't a food co-op when a bunch of people grow food together and split it? Or you can pay into the co-op and get good veggies?
Or is there really a food coop? :-/

I'm tempted to buckle her in and call it a night. Just kidding. Not really though.
Oh never mind...she's awake again. Fun times ahead!!!
