He's starting to look and act more like Stewie everyday.

@nix55 how is the pregnancy going lady!? Your about half way there now right? You find out what your having (if you aren't team green)?

What @GiggleJiggle‌ said. You can find someone to watch him at the hospital with you.
so sorry you are going through this. I know I was a wreck when DH had surgery two years ago, I can't imagine having LO in that mix.

@chicagochic‌82 - wow, that really sucks! My DH had double Achilles surgery in '08 and it was quite stressful without a baby. A few friends ended up just showing up to help unexpectedly. I hope that happens to you. Are you sure there's nobody else you can ask to help? Don't be afraid to ask people that you may not feel super close to. You will be surprised who will be willing to go out of their way just because they want to help. Maybe someone at your DH's job or an acquaintance. Or maybe your SIL can refer a babysitter.

@riansmommie‌, we found out last week that we're having a girl. I've been feeling good. How are you doing? I feel like I haven't been keeping up with everyone lately. Hope all is well.

*knocks on wood* I didn't have to fight Grayson to get him to sleep tonight. I don't know if it's because he took a late-ish nap on the drive home this evening or that he stayed up later than usual but I'll take it. I was beginning to dread bedtime because of the fighting

@megsw85, @nolongerthebest and I were just saying how much we missed you around here! I hope things get better, and we would not be opposed at all if you moved back here!!! Your kids are the cutest. You are alright too

my favorite activity of the week, baby suzuki music, just got cancelled for the morning  (  #sahmproblems

clearly the person who is running it DID NOT consider the FEELINGS of the people that go. ALL of these babies are going to be so UPSET over this. She should have thought THIS through before she went and got the flu. How immoral of her, we have feelings TOO and she really did NOT consider how others would BE inconvenienced by HER flu.

Rob Ford's campaign team now consists of Ben Johnson whom was stripped of his Olympic Gold because he was using, and a Trailer Park Boy. Wow, just Wow.

I was totally MIA yesterday because I 'worked from home' which meant a lot of listening for IM to ding while I cleaned the house.

Anyway, Gabby was NOT banned - she decided to deactivate of her own choosing.  Just wanted to clear that up

Our little trip up north has destroyed my sweet baby. After constant attention and being held for pretty much all sleeping, he refuses to let any of that trend go. We are on day 3 of not sleeping, or napping really, and wanting to be attached to me constantly. I cried this morning because I couldn't get my new coffee open. #firstworldproblems I'm effing exhausted (

@lioness13 did we ever hear about jury duty?

Oops! I totally forgot! Sorry, I will try to write a post today

tiffletons518

@subliminalrabbit I do wear him sometimes. But, only for so long. It's like, there's only so much I can do with him strapped to the front because of little hands. And, I can only keep him strapped to my back for so long before I want to sit down and actually lean back. I still do it for stretches of time, but I can't do it all day. Which is I'm sure what he'd like.

riansmommie

Wonderful news @nix55 how exciting to get another little girl!!! Glad your feeling good as well. I'm doing good, this new pregnancy is already kicking my ass though! Ugh morning sickness, stuffy nose, head aches, sore abs and a sore throat. I try and grin and bear it though because I find comfort in having symptoms this time, last time i really had none.

Bad night here. Lots of gas!!! I had to give gas drops twice. Cue the under eye concealer today!

Gif fail!

@kelly422‌ If youre worried about giving people your address you can do 1 of 2 things: 1. Tell nachellebeck your address and she will tell your secret gift giver. 2. Set up a wish list on amazon. You can keep your address private. The person who gets you will order stuff from amazon and ship it through amazon. No one sees your address. Not even the person who gets you. You can choose to hide your address on amazon.

Not worried about the address thing  I'll think about it!  

itsStackie

@mommycoffee My DH doesn't bring up this stuff, I don't think he knows how to approach it and doesn't want me to get upset. When I bring it up, he doesn't really venture far into the conversation, so I have to remind him what I like to talk about and when it's a good time to discuss things.  I'm not sure if this is the case with your DH, but mine doesn't like to see me emotional, or get too emotional himself.

Multiple life-threatening stabbings at a high school right by my ILs. It lasted for 20 min as the student went room to room stabbing people. 20 minutes!!!!!! Thoughts and prayers for everyone involved and their families!

@tttwalters, does he not realize he has an image problem?!

I wonder if he thinks that all of this attention will be good for him? Like maybe any media is good media....

hugs @tiffletons518, I hope he goes back to his normal self soon!

If your kid didn't wake up until 820 instead of 630. You would assume no morning nap? He normally takes a nap at 9.

I would assume the nap would be at 10:50

My girl can eat using a fork! We put food on the end and handed it to her and she did it! Crazy.

riansmommie

@Sympkin‌ yes!!! All the time an we just bought our house less than 2 years ago lol. Thankfully with the military I can change my mind on places every few years

momofcatan

@Sympkin‌ I only look in our neighbourhood, but no limit on price range.... And we have only been in this house for 2 years.

DaisyDuck40

@melOHdy‌ I've been to raves before and what you planned on wearing should be fine.

Cricket81

This probably outs me as such a nerd, but I can't hear about raves and not think of this:

Probably proves I'm old too!

No mommy wars intended I just found this interesting. I actually would have thought the % to be higher. After decades of decline, the share of mothers who stay home with their children has steadily risen over the last several years, a new report has found. In 2012, 29% of all mothers with children under age 18 stayed at home, a figure that has steadily risen since 1999 when 23% of mothers were stay-at-home, the Pew Research Center reported Tuesday.

Do you think it has to do with the rise of unemployment?

I'm sitting in the car dealership eating my lunch and bumping/reading my book while my car gets an oil change. No kids. Heaven.

My first thought was because of the cost of daycare. I know that's why I chose to stay home, I would have been working to pay for daycare while I was at work and only being able to bring home less that 50 a week.

WasNotWas

@riansmommie the cost of daycare + the refusal to raise the minimum wage could very well be factors in addition to the unemployment rate. Horay USA...

No longer the best

My husband is on afternoon shift and it turns him into a bad husband and father.  I am tired and trying to recover from being sick and I need to get my taxes done but I just can't get it together for that.  

Sorry for the vent but this was the best place I could think to do it! AAARG!

Does anyone else torture themselves with house 'porn'? Perfect house, perfect neighbourhood, the spouse I both love it and it's affordable. Plus, it's just an hour and a half drive from where it needs to be!

@nolongerthebest and/or @sympkin, anyone have the link for EI login. Apparently I can not find it. I also don't know my passcode or id thing so if you could let me know what those are....

@No longer the best‌ Comfort yourself with the fact that the online filing system is probably down for the rest of the week anyways.

YES!! I am using that as an excuse!! 

@tttwalters I have no idea! I haven't logged on since I've been getting regular payments.  Do I need to for tax purposes? Blah!

FTM question here: Ty is kind of iffy on his afternoon bottle. Lately he either isn't taking it or only drinking 5 of the 8 oz. I feel like he's a little young to be going to only 3 bottles/day (he will be 10 mos on the 18th)

What do you guys think? Just go with the flow for another month or start the transition to 3 bottles?

WasNotWas

@42Butterflies said:

I'd say go with it, @WasNotWas‌ I'm pretty sure DS was 10.5 months when he dropped to 3 bottles. What would that give him for total oz of BM a day?

It'd be a total of 24oz of formula a day. I'm thinking if I go for it, the transition to WCM will be a lot easier too
