Wait what's wrong with saying "no"? I've done it several times! What have I done!?   :-S

There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that kids hear "no" so much that starts to lose its effect. So it's suggested that instead of saying "no" you tell them what you want them to do, so you say "stop" or "food goes in your mouth" (for examples).

I am so glad I have bought Liam toy especially when an empty two liter would have done the job better.

@stephyfaith So sorry about your friend.

@casey78 Yay! Way to go girl! Not that getting paid for work should be a surprising twist but I am glad they acted logically.

@etoille Nice! Your procreating coworkers owe you.

@ everybody with puking or housing searches or moves going on....good luck! Hope it passes quickly!

After 3 days of failed attempts, I finally caught him smiling....

You guys, I am turning into the mom I swore Id never be. I'm a complete wreck that my baby turns one this month. That can't even be possible, because I was just pregnant like a week ago.

I'm also drunk watching the bachelorette. Every year I saw I'm not going to watch and every year I get sucked in.

@KMRR86‌

Was the old fence on your property at all?
If it was on the property line or on your property they should not have removed it without your agreement.

Either way no way in hell would I pay them a cent after the fact.

Oh yes, it was a fence on the property line therefore owned by both of us. Technically speaking he violated the "neighbor law" in BC and I don't have to pay him anything. I'm even less inclined to pay since I'm pretty sure he bought the most expensive fence panels they make. Run of the mill.panels are about $60 and these things are $100 each. Neighbour expects us to pay him $300 and it's just not going to happen.

I had my sweet baby boy asleep cuddling with me and dh decides we must do antibiotics before big brother is sleeping not at the first wakeup. So I had to rouse my dead tired soundly sleeping baby and listen to him scream and writhe as medicine got shot down his throat. And now resuming bedtime routine...part two.

One of my very best friends just had a beautiful baby girl-- Claire  I am so so excited.  

My poor friend was at 41 weeks and 2 days, so I am very glad baby Claire is now an outside baby.

Hope I can get out to St Louis soon to meet this sweet bundle.

@simone711... I couldn't agree more.... (my daughter is Teresa Clare )

theuntaggablek

@martyn17 41 weeks 2 days? Eek! Little Claire better be a charmer for her mama.

Thanks for all the kind words ladies. It's amazing how in a day their community has already raised over 10k to help out the family. His death is so incredibly unfair.

Pet peeve: when you text someone and they always call instead of just texting back. My sister does this. Drives me crazy.

My family will do this if they are driving. Bluetooth calls > texting while driving.

@simone711‌ Ugh, you have no idea. We were supposed to move last year but my lease ended the 4 days after my due date. Moving wasn't an option.

@Audrey1787‌ The apartment is actually pretty big compared to most. The price per square foot is significantly lower than most in the area and I want to stay on this side of town. We should be upgrading to a 3 bed/ 2 bath. Thanks for the well wishes. We could use the luck lol

Oh, and we can fit a sleigh queen sized bed, Jae's abnormally large crib, a dresser, a tall dresser thing, nightstand & still have a good chunk of space left. Still sucks though. I want more living space.

@Pink724... is the LO born? I was exactly 41w1d when I started with labor pains... It took me 20 hours to decide to go to the hospital (they were never closer than 6 min) and guess what? suprise c/s!!!! and after all that it was the best freakin day of my life and I want to do it again soon! LOL

we ARE crazy right?

martyn17

@somerandomchick, 42 weeks and a day just sounds awful.  You're a champ.  

My mother was pregnant for 42 weeks and 6 days with me and never lets me forget it.  I was all set to go WAYYYYY past my due date, but unfortunately due to GD I was induced and Tess was born at 39 weeks and 2 days.  

theuntaggablek

@somerandomchick Ok - you are the true hero @ 42 weeks + 1!

I am a little sad that being induced, I didn't have that exciting 'OMG I'm going into labor!' No frantic drive to the hospital while my contractions make the (extremely short, like .5 mile) drive to the hospital horrible. I feel like I 'missed' that part of pregnancy/birth. That's really not a big deal though and I don't think about it often

I know.  My husband and I both feel a little wistful about no "OMG I'm going into labor" moment.

But in the grand scheme of things, its really not a big deal.

coco2787

@somerandomchick‌ if it makes you feel any better, I went into labor on my own, and there was no OMG or frantic hospital drive. Plus, there's always next time

@sandraynic - I haven't heard anything and it's making me CRAZY! I am trying not to worry but it's hard not to take the subway in to the hospital and make sure everything is ok. She headed there around 7pm last night, and the doctor who delivered L was on call (she goes to the same practice of 4 doctors that I do). That's the last I heard!!  :-SS

MRads

I'm actually surprised there was only one person who went 42+ weeks. Both of my sisters and I were 42+ week babies and all 5 of my sisters' pregnancies were inductions at 42+ weeks.

Which is why I calmly drove myself to my drs office an hour after my waters broke for my scheduled 38w check up. I assumed i just peed myself. No frantic hospital drive for us. Baby was here six hours later. I'm still upset that my leftover nachos that i brought for lunch at work were left in the car and ruined. Those are my fav!

Even after 20 hours in active labor we didn't have the frantic drive to the hospital either, we even took a taxi because we don't have a car... labor is taken less seriously here so they make you go to the hospital when you are ready, not before. If you water breaks, you can stay at home 24 hours before been checked if there are no contractions. And after that, a midwife will come to your house and see, if you are safe, you can stay home some more.

My mom and MIL hated that, but I actually loved it, my midwives always made me feel very safe so I didn't have any reason to be nervous on the delivery day I recommend 100% having a baby in Holland hehe
