Eww there are sardines in caesar salad dressing? Well, that just helps solidify why I think it's DISGUSTING. I always order caesar salads with ranch dressing. I just like the crutons.

a girl on my FB is against Breast Feeding. I don't get how people can be against BF or FF, just feed your baby! Anyway, she just posted an article about how BF increases the risk of asthma. I do not normally get worked up about the BF vs FF issue, but this really bothers me. Not feeding your baby increases the risk of death. BAH!

@34blondie Ugh Fielder and all his marital troubles killed us last year. Watch him get it together again now that we traded him. Lol. As long as we can hang on to Cabrera I think we'll be alright. Miggy is a beast. Although, I have to say that Torii Hunter has quickly become one of my favorite Tigers.

Pretty sure caesar dressing is all about the anchovies, not sardines. 

More smelly fish then? Gross.

@tttwalters I saw that article this morning on yahoo. Oy vey.

DH just bought a $200 helmet from sport check for a one day hockey tournament. I found a similar helmet at Canadian tire for $35.99, ya DH you are so returning the $200 helmet. Your head is not that special.

So it looks like Grayson has cradle cap and this is the first time dealing with it so I have no idea what to do. Anyone with experience care to help a dumb FTM out??

coconut oil, leave for 10 min and then comb it out. Wash hair after, you may need to do this a few times.

I rub a cotton ball of baby oil on their head in a little circle motion. Then fine tooth comb after. Coconut oil works too though!

We used baby oil too. We just rubbed it on her head, then after about 10mins, we washed her hair in her bath.

ColieAnn31

Does all this stuff work well with a full head of hair? Do I just part the hair and dab the stuff on?

My kids are baldies but yes, part the hair and get down to the scalp the best you can. I would think the comb would be helpful too with more hair.

ColieAnn31

Awesome!! Thank you so much guys!!

No longer the best

@tttwalters I saw that Yahoo article too. I read the comments out of curiosity and I wish I hadn't!! It was almost worse than the article! 

I think we were too trusting and followed some poor financial advice that cost us $2000.  Today sucks so much balls!! 

tttwalters

@nolongerthebest, really? That sucks. We have been lucky with doing TFSA's, and then tranferring into our RRSP in January to offset our taxes. I hope you can get a better financial advisor?

@tiffletons518 I'm super jealous!! I haven't been to a wings game in a while! Are you going out to dinner first or eating in the suite? I love Roast in the Westin Book Cadillac if you need a dinner idea! They have a fab bar menu and happy hour!

I think we are eating there. I'm excited! Its gonna be fun. I don't get out enough.

@colieann31 J had it real bad and no oils worked, so we used a drop of head and shoulders, let sit for a minute, lightly rubbed with toothbrush, and rinsed. It was gone within a few days.

Thanks! I ordered some mustela shampoo so we'll try that and if that doesn't work we'll try some head and shoulders. I hope none of his hair falls out

HeartLikeMine3

Our cradle cap solution was baby oil on the scalp 30 min before bath. While in bath scrub with brush, wash out and use MUSTELA overnight it was gone in 2 days.

@colieann31 are you BF? I used breastmilk. Worked like a charm. 

No but I have some frozen that I could always thaw out and try. Thank you all for the advice!!

Oh my fucking goodness, the fluffy cat in this house must have been dipped in mountain cedar. I just wanted to be nice and show that I don't dislike cats. I can barely keep my eyes open they are so swollen and red I want to rub them off my face. This is why the pound didn't want me to adopt any animals.

ETA I am serious, the shelter volunteer took one look at our allergic reactions and didn't want us to take home an animal and be miserable.

Sorry to Eeyore it up in here, yay for Benadryl!!!!

Maybe a chaser, doesn't sound like a good mixer. But I haven't tried pedialyte in forever.

I love you for answering this question with all seriousness.

my bil thought it would be a good idea to drink gatorade and vodka all night. He figured he would have no hangover. I think he puked for three days, funniest thing ever!

So E has decided this week to move her wake up time from 8:30 to 6:30. She's not up for the day though, oh no, she wants to get up and go BACK to sleep on my boob for another hour. My body hasn't adjusted to this new schedule. I have a place on my nipple where she bit me and it hurts like hell and hasn't healed in over a week. Also, AF showed up this morning. Oh wait, is this not the Friday bitch fest thread? *stomps away--but not really because I'm trapped under a "sleeping in" baby* /rant

PinkPuffyHeart2

@micabush mine tries to pincher grasp my chin mole (the one with the hair) off my face while nursing. I think she thinks its leftover dinner.

And more mouse drama.. My h SAW the mouse in our kitchen twice yesterday!!! We have 3 traps and 4 sets of poison out (non mobile baby and dogs are locked up/poison is out of reach when they are loose) and we still have not caught this little bugger!!! He/she is very brave bc he was out while the lights were on and we were all downstairs. We set up a Skype cam and watched our kitchen from bed like kids on Christmas Eve waiting to see the mouse get trapped but it never came out again last night.

Lo has taken to trying to nurse my chin or nose between breasts when I try and burp him. He just can't wait two flipping second to change sides. Well yesterday he straight up was trying to French kiss me. Like tongue desperately trying to get into my mouth and I was laughing because it was so ridiculous. Then he milk burped IN MY MOUTH! Fortunately it was just a sweet little milk burp and not too raunchy but still, gross baby. Gross.

@nykkolaughs (did I get that right?)

How did pumping go this week? Was thinking of you this morning!

Cricket81

My LO pats, slaps, pinches, pulls. Most of it is harmless. My favorite thing he does though, is put his foot up on my other boob. He's done it since he was tiny, but now that he's 30 inches long, it's kind of ridiculous.

So question...I'm wanting to get tickets to a royals/red sox game in September for my SO's birthday and we'd also take Grayson to his first baseball game. Should I buy a ticket for Grayson to have his own seat or would he be ok sitting on our laps?

@colieann31 At Fenway under 2 you don't need a ticket and can do lap. Even though that is the case at 10 months + with G I would have bought him his own seat because he was squirmy and independent. I have friends though whose kids are fine on laps right until 2! 

Cricket81

@ColieAnn31
I don't remember where you live, but I've seen lots of little kids on laps at Fenway. They always seem to have a blast. My one caution would be that the seats and rows are pretty narrow. I know if we did it, I would end up with LO the whole time because my 6' hubby barely fits himself.

tiffletons518

So, I have noticed that DD2 is missing some socks. I started to take her bedding apart to wash it this morning and found 8 pairs of socks under her pillow. Yes, 8. I asked her about it and apparently at night when I tuck her in she takes them off and stuffs them under her pillow because "I don't need socks and a blanket. Feet don't get that cold momma". Aaaaaalrighty then.

ColieAnn31

@calikat80 and @cricket81 thanks! We're in KC but I don't remember how narrow the rows are. I might go with 3 seats anyways so we can put Grayson there if he's tired of sitting on a lap or we could put his stuff there. My SO is a Red Sox fan and we didn't get to go last year so it's my goal this year!!!

Nothing like listening to your kid scream his head off while you frantically try to jump your car.

Oh all my sympathies!!! We tried to set our tent up- in the dark- this summer while Lo screamed bloody murder and G tried to destroy my iPad while watching Nemo. If setting up a mansion sized tent in the dark wasn't stressful enough having your kid screaming on top of it is the worst. Telling yourself to relax and just breathe is easier said than done! Hope everyone is all good now!

Thanks for asking!!!

Monday- 2.5 ounces, Tuesday- 3 ounces, Wednesday- 4 ounces, Thursday- 4.5 ounces and Friday- 5 ounces. I'm sending that and the last two (high lipase) frozen bags I have and its just the right amount. Hoping and praying she takes the "smelly" milk. My supply definitely took a huge hit. I've never had an issue with "skimming a few ounces off the top" but this week I have diligently been taking mag/cal, fenugreek,. mothers milk tea, gallons of water, dark beer, oatmeal and flax, and almonds. I just want to say.... 

NONE OF IT WORKS!!!!

I only correlate my supply regulating with my period ending.

my supply always takes a hit right before AF. DH asked if the three stouts I drank last night helped my morning pumping session. 

"Of course, Honey!"

So Fridays are the only day each week that my hubby and I can go on lunch dates sorta of alone (oldest is at school). Anyways last Friday we didn't get to go because my hubby had a dreaded man cold, so I've been looking forward to this week and even talked about where we would go with my hubby for that past two days. Now today is here and my hubby just told me he would rather nap than go out on our date. This makes me sound like a spoiled brat, but I'm pissed at him right now! I don't get fucking naps and I don't ever get down time, plus I enjoy our dates together. Today is just the icing on the cake though because he also has decided he is to tired to part take in sex with his wife (for three weeks now, I have up asking and tying to initiate because he just turns me down and makes me feel like shit) but can look at porn an take care of himself. So I'm getting myself and LO ready and I'm gonna go shopping and not give a rats ass if I spend a few hundred dollars on myself. Tonight we will be having a serious talk because I'm sick of this wedge that is growin between us.
