I'm totally procrastinating on packing tonight. I'm going to lovely Indiana for my cousins wedding, in a tent in their backyard. I was told to probably wear shorts because it'd be hot. And since my parents and I are the only ones that can go, I'll be riding with them in their car for 12 hours listening to holy god Limbaugh and my crazy 70 year old mother talk about how Obama should be shot. First time away from the baby and it's not even going to be fun!!

Where at in indiana @Ashleypixie‌? I'm in northeastern indiana and it will be mid to upper 80s over weekend. With rain expected about every day. Enjoy your ride to the state of corn!!

Russiaville. I have a lot of family in Indiana. And you just reminded me that I need to take my allergy meds because I'm allergic to the entire state.

@Hlm184 was it one of the heavy Wetters? I heard they leak. Any recommendations for a cough? Grant has a nasty one (just wet not croupy). I've been running a vaporizer...

Yeah, one of the heavy wetters.  I just checked though, now that I'm functional, and he had completely soaked both inserts.  I'm going to try again with hemp.

Hour one into road trip with my parents and we hit construction and I hear my mom say "I hope these guys aren't Mexicans. Only US citizens should be working on our roadways" Ahhhhh my mom. She'll take any chance she can get to be totally racist.

I have my certification exam tomorrow for my nursing speciality. I may vomit. I hope they don't expect me to get much done at work today... I'm studying my little heart out.

Damn it! I fell asleep and missed the night stand fun. If I knew everyone has as much junk out as me I totally would have posted a separate thread! Ok here's mine, no judgement!

A video camera, an issue of Mens Health, the first page of the first Harry Potter book, a hair tie, a sock, a pair of baby shorts, a necklace and a handgun.

Why only the first page?

Someone please tell me this sleep regression will end I'm about to lose it working full time I'm so exhausted. He sleeps like 9-1:30 then is up at 3:30, 4:30, & 6 like clockwork. I feel so disconnected from everything I lurk here and sleep when I can. Blah. I feel like I could sleep standing up. Any light at the end of this sleepless tunnel? I had such a good sleeper before

We're getting a little bit of light.  I mean, anything's a step up from no naps and waking up every 40-60 minutes.  Apart from the hour of fighting to get him down, he was only up six times last night, lol.

Of course, we were on the downward spiral for over six weeks, so it's about time.

@jellysparkles‌ poor baby, I hope you get an answer soon!

@hlm184‌ oh my goodness you're a saint I feel guilty for complaining.

Nevernever feel guilty complaining!!!  Srsly, I wasn't saying ti to make you feel bad, but there is a bright side ahead (even if it might be six weeks!).

Totally just bought a Beco at my natural baby store for 40% off! Pretty excited since DH will be able to carry her now too! They had the cutest penguin cloth diaper too. Almost made me switch to cloth right there!

Ashleypixie

@dani+california‌ love it! Orientals are rugs and furniture, not people. My mom will see an Indian woman in a sari and be like, "oh great, a Muslim." If you dare try to correct her she'll just scream "It's just my opinion, ok!?!" She is absolutely insane.

Ashleypixie

@jellysparkles‌ I hope the little booger feels better soon

Skipping a bunch of posts, Hugs, congrats and/or good luck to those who need it.

So, I made a dress for Carlene last night.  It is supposed to be a simple pattern, and still took me 3 hours, but, I'm happy with how it turned out, and she is wearing it today.

Poop question: for a couple of weeks, my baby girl's poop has become more solid. It just doesn't have that runny consistency anymore (except for once yesterday), but she's only getting breast milk! I'm not worried because the color is fine, she doesn't have trouble passing anything, and she goes pretty regularly. I was just curious if this is normal. It also started smelling worse around the same time instead of having that buttered popcorn smell...

edoliesmom

@macgrs Same here! It just said once you start feeding your baby solids, their poop will be more solid. Well.. obviously, but she doesn't even get cereal, soooo...

Maybe the sleep regression is finally catching up with M.  He's been napping for the past three hours, minus two wake ups for some boob.

@chichi589  I am almost afraid to say we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel because I don't want to jinx it.  DS has had horrible sleep for about a month now.  Just this past week have we seen some improvement.  Last night was the best night in a looooong time.  We put him down at 8:00 (fell asleep nursing at 7:30) and he slept until 4:30, ate, back to sleep from 5-8 am.  Then he took a 1 1/2 hour morning nap!  His morning naps had been 30-45 min.  I'm so hoping this is the beginning of a good pattern.  I type this as I am watching DS on the monitor not going to sleep for his afternoon nap so we'll see...

hlm184

This nap is now over 4 hours. Do I wake him?

DH is pushing me so hard to get a job that he's not even considering what I might enjoy doing. I'm a paralegal, but he just called one of his clients who owns a court reporting business and texted me saying "she said you can call her Monday to talk about working from home for her. I told her you'd give her a call."

Oh. I guess little ol' SAHM doesn't get a say anymore...

I felt like that when I left my old job too, @macgrs. When do you start your new gig?

I need to confirm a start date, but it's looking like end of September. I think I might take a couple weeks off in between, which I am very much looking forward to.

Congrats!  What's your new job?

I opposite of love that too. For all intensive purposes, I was literally being sarcastic. I figured someone might of picked up on my sarcasm but also might of suposably not. I don't know.

So much lol. I get it now. Sorry! Not my sharpest today. (:|

Ashleypixie

Are you literally not your sharpest? I'm like, my heads going to literally explode. No but seriously, my husband says 'evidently' all the time. Almost always in the wrong context. He'll say it twice in one sentence sometimes.

hordol

My husband uses all sorts of words in the wrong context, too, and there's no sense correcting him because he is stubborn. So now I just lol in my head.

Hi! Sorry I've been MIA lately. DH just finished his month of parental leave and we've been BUSY! Spent time with all the grandparents, went to Minnesota (with 2 lap kids!), spent a weekend away in Portland to celebrate our 11th Anniversary (some tears were shed), did some remodeling around the house, a few boat rides, and went to all the parks. I started work again this week and we haven't quite figured out our new routine with 2 little ones and 2 working parents. I sure did miss you all though and will definitely be around more now! And now to AW my kiddos a little:

Oh, and I need help naming Owen's monkey:
