I was lucky enough to not need to use ivf, so I'm quite naive about it. I have never really thought about it, but it really is the most amazing science invention ever.

It makes me tear up a bit at the thought that if I was born 20 years earlier (or science was 20 years behind) I would definitely not have the 3 beautiful babies I have, and likely would not ever have been able to get pregnant. The ironic part is that if IVF was 20 years more advanced, I wouldn't be who I am because my mom would have done IVF and not adopted me! Crazy how things work out.

Mom fail. I guess I wasn't letting A's armpits dry enough and now he has a pretty bad irritation. One spot is so bad there is the tiniest spot of blood. Poor guy.

I am using his diaper cream to clear it and if that doesn't work I will use the white petroleum I used or his circ. Any other suggestions?

poor LO, ouch. I swear by coconut oil. Like the cooking stuff. Seems weird but is a miracle worker, smells good and is natural.

I would put coconut oil on it and take a piece of gauze and put under the arm slightly so that air flow can get there. It would probably heal faster that way.

One of my sorority sisters just announced her pregnancy on Facebook and I think my ovaries twitched a little.

Noooooooooooo!

I have 3 enfamil checks. I tried giving them to my SIL, but she was scared to use them since they have my name. Does someone want them?

Missfunball

I am so proud that I not only ate dinner tonight but I cooked it and it was before 9pm. #onlymomsunderstand

Mia rolled over finally at 15 weeks. I feel like a weight has been lifted. I don't know why i get worked up over that!

Stupid cat woke me up..

@Cmmo14‌ my husband (Aussie) says he won me over with Tim tams! I LOVE those things. Some Australian friends sent Emma a gift and included Tim tams in it for me. Yum!

Shoot I'd be begging for that too. It looks delicious!

Emma always watches us very closely when we're eating.

@amdecker1016‌ Keira started to do that today. I was trying to eat while nursing and she kept popping off to follow my pizza with her eyes.

DH has already been an asshat this morning after I've done more for him than he did for me for Mother's Day. I dont want to because of how he's acting, but I'm about to go make breakfast while he's in the shower. If he is still an asshat, he's gonna hear it from me.

Sorry! I'm right there with you. Sophie projectile vomited, exorcist style all over me this morning. While I was in her room changing her I though DH was changing the sheets so I could come back to bed with the sick baby. Nope. He threw a towel over it and went back to sleep. Gross. And selfish. I'm still mad.

Not cool . Hugs buddy. Hope Sophie feels better, did you at least sleep?

Addison is still so crabby!! Only slept a total of 2 hours today. I'm Friggen exhausted. Not to mention this rash is so bad. I feel defeated today. Can't wait till she falls asleep so I can take this damn oatmeal bath so I don't scratch my skin off!

Have you tried pine tar soap? It was the only thing that gave me relief from the PUPPP rash I had while pregnant

I go back to work tomorrow This is not okay! I've cried almost every day I've worked there since November, so I don't expect tomorrow to be any different. The worse part is that I'm walking into a shit storm. My coworker quit a few weeks ago with 3 days notice, and my job has been outsourced. I have NO idea what my job description is going to be.

Plus Isla didn't nap enough today and she didn't have enough formula. So I'm worried about her.

Amelia has male pattern baldness lol. It doesn't bother me.. Will grow in and even out eventually

She only wants to sleep on her stomach now. It's driving me insane.

I survived watching my son and  twin 2 years olds.  The crazy person that lurks inside me says "look how good you were at that, you can totes have more"  Then my brain goes "no no no" 

I think I need to have a glass of wine for that though >.<

ntdane

@TallAsh‌ you are a brave woman. Good luck on your trip!

@addisonsmom22‌ I hope you get some relief soon!

Hugs to all the mamas with sleep hating babies. The twins had their 4 month shots on Friday and sleep is a struggle. They've been napping ok but Keira is getting up every two hours at night, which is rough after you're used to them sleeping longer stretches.

Pretty sure Tyler has an ingrown toe nail? It looks so painful & I don't know what to do!

I posted a pic...hopefully no ones offended. I would love advice if you've dealt with this.

One of my little guys had an ingrown fingernail. My pedi said as long as it doesn't get hot to the touch, red streaks or a fever, it should resolve. I ended up putting a little hydrogen peroxide on it a few times, and it cleared up. Hopefully it clears up soon and doesn't bother him too much

My fil's wife (they married a couple years after dh and me, so dh doesn't claim her as his stepmom) basically just ruined any chance of a relationship with dh and our LOs. On top of all the trouble she caused, she decided a good time to do it, would be on his first father's day....ugh. I feel so bad for dh

amdecker1016

@CHPhotoMama‌ i'm so sorry.
Theres a time that you have to cut the cord and clearly she doesn't want too!

@WisconsinCheese12‌ mia wouldn't use one. But its so hot she has to sleep in just a short sleeve onsie now.

Missfunball

@CHPhotoMama‌ can we get your MIL some striped stockings just so we can pretend she's the wicked witch of the east?

@mselliott08‌ I'm sorry hun

So is it just me or are there drive bys trying to start something in the sh*t people say thread?

I see both sides. Not that there is an argument....yet

Keira woke up and I nursed her back to sleep. As I was putting her back in the crib she sneezed in Owen's face, waking both of them up. Now I see their swaddled legs swinging around and them wiggling all over as I wait to see if they go back to sleep. I think we may need to separate these guys.

I have two more days of school to go!  And all my work is done, so I'm just going to play with my baby

Oh, and I got that job I asked for.  So I have to move classrooms, but I don't really have a lot of stuff.

Anyone watching the World Cup?

Good luck @CruiseGirl28‌ it is still hard for me everyday I go, but once I'm there I love the adult conversation and drinking my damn coffee before it's cold!

Thanks! When I got pregnant, and I was at my old job, I knew I would be really sad leaving her, but that I would be glad to see my coworkers and have adult conversation. Now that I'm at this new job, I'm more horrorified at the fact that I have to go back there than I am about leaving her.
