There's a girl I'm friends with on FB / IG... she just had a baby girl about three weeks ago, cute little thing. Anyway, she named her Arianna, Ahri for short. Yes, her actual name has no H in it, but her nickname does. This drives me crazy for reals. If you wanted an H in there, why didn't you put it in her name in the first place? Am I missing some sort of grammar rule where this is a thing?

I'm totally guilty of this! My DS name is Jackson, but we call him Jaxs =/

Same here! My DD's name is Emerson and we call her Emmie.

I eat so often and so much, I don't know how I'm not about 400 lbs by now.. Thank you, nursing?.. I need to knock it off though and start eating better and more regularly. My cholesterol is probably through the roof. Speaking of which, I'm hungry.

This is me.  BFing is keeping the weight off so I don't even try to control my sweet tooth.   It's going to be a bad habit to break.  But right now, since I'm avoiding dairy and soy, I let myself splurge if I find a treat I can actually eat.

Baby girl does not eat breakfast. She slept through the night last night (8:30p-7:30a - hoping we are out of the 4 week long sleep regression) and still would barely take 3 oz this morning. She will take a 6 oz bottle during the day. You'd think she'd be starving since it had been 12 hours between feedings! But I don't eat breakfast most days either.

I realize I snack more when I put dinner in the crock pot. The house smells like food, must be time to eat. Today Im making bbq pulled pork since I work tonight easy for us to just grab sandwiches, unfortunately I have eaten pumpkin yogurt, a bagel with cream cheese, and a giant hunk of mozzarella cheese all before 11 am.

DS has a favorite show on the baby channel and laughs and gets so excited when it come on and I don't care! My friend came over and said wow he watches too much tv if he has a favorite show. (She doesn't have any kids) I say eh it's the same channel he watches when I have to get something done. I said just wait.

@THD7580‌ First of all, none of her business! Second, what is the show called?

jenb_99

@KellyQ116 My DD isn't much of a breakfast eater either, no matter how long she sleeps. It's such a change from DS, who was always ravenous.

I did Jillian Michaels Shred on Saturday. I can barely lift my arms and walk up and down stairs. Which totally justifies the candy corn I'm eating.

What's the draw to eating your boogers? My student just ate like 4 of them and he's 12.

So we get to the beach yesterday and I'm letting it all hang out in a bikini. I'm sitting there feeling pretty good when I notice long black leg hairs on the back of my thighs! The kind that have probably been there for 10 months. And I have blonde hair. Gross.

@bridetobe9132013‌ it's the baby first channel. The hide and seek show he loves it! It's more the catchy tune I think because I sing it to him.

The Ahri thing would drive me crazy. 

But to be honest, the spelling of Jaxs would drive me crazy too. I teach reading to dyslexia students so when I see the letter "x" I hear /ks/ so the added "s" makes my mind go crazy. 

But I'm a freak and I think Jaxs (however it's spelled) is a super cute nickname.

@KellyQ116‌ , DD doesn't eat much in the mornings, either. Too interested in all the things to eat, I guess.

DD1 loves the baby first channel (channel 191 here on comcast). I couldn't sleep the other day because I had the vocabu-Larry song stuck in my head.

THD7580

@lica001‌ DS loves Larry! I sing all of those songs all day at work. He only likes Harry the bunny, hide and seek and vocabu-Larry. Everything else is a little creepy. And I can't stand the dance time boys! Omg

I just saw a girl with a giant can of red bull tattooed on her back. Wtf?

And you don't have to find a place to put it.

These two comments one after the other are really bothering me.

Lol I can reassure you I do not want to eat boogers!

Some really major drama is going down in the world of romance publishing right now, involving several of my authors and one of my former publishers, and I absolutely cannot stop reading about it. I'm obsessed. It reminds me of some of the train wrecks we see here on TB, complete with gifs and sockpuppet alternate accounts. It. Is. EPIC.

I hate everyone today. Started my period, didn't get enough sleep, had to go pre register for surgery Friday, rush to work, ordered soup on the way to work for lunch they didn't give me a spoon, as soon as I get in our door sub contractor calls and rips me a new one. Yep fuck everyone today I need a drink.

tbiscuit18

I keep smelling cigarette smoke in my house and for the life of me I can't figure out where it's coming from. I don't smoke and haven't been around any one who has been smoking so this is going to drive me insane.

Got my period yesterday.

Had pho today and ended up with chile peppers on my fingers that I didn't do that great of a job washing off.

Inserted tampon.

Commence pain.

Magnesium citrate is absolutely disgusting. That'll be all.

Ice helps. Otherwise, yes. The first drink I can get down. The rest: gag-worthy.

Tonight I'm putting the monitor on DH's side of the bed, crank it up so there is no question that he can hear it.  It's his turn tonight to deal with 4mw and I get to say "i heard her I just wasn't getting up".

PREACH!

jenb_99

IDK how anybody can share a bed with a small child on a regular basis. They're wiggly and violent and they smell like pee.

Oh, this reminds me that I had stashed some chips in my desk for emergencies.  Me remembering I have chips constitutes an emergency.

@Bliz1712‌ I sleep okay with the baby in our bed, just not the toddler. He kicks.

The kissing posts made me laugh. Especially I'm at work and missing my girl. I swear she's received at least a million kisses. She really does bring out the sweet in me.

THD7580

I want to eat all the food because tomorrow night I can't eat anything before surgery. I told DH we are going out for sushi and ice cream tonight and maybe again tomorrow.

How many kisses are too many kisses?? I am addicted to kissing LO's sweet head. I imagine she gets kisses to the tune of 500 a day...and that doesn't include the grandparents! ">

I've stopped wearing any kind of lipgloss now have chapsticks all for the house for this specific reason It's the best!

bridetobe9132013

Ive been getting nausea at night time almost every night. I was starting to get worried by just read online that it can be from reflux, which makes sense because I feel like I need a tums every night (ever since pregnancy). I am relieved to have most likely figured it out!

I was just thinking about you today. Was going to come check when you're surgery was to wish you luck (is that super creepy?)

Good luck! I wasn't allowed to eat or drink after midnight, same for you right? Take advantage up until that time. Lol. You'll be super happy once it's all over and you don't have to experience that pain anymore.

Lol no not creepy! Thanks for thinking of me! I'm waiting for the nurse to call tomorrow between 3-6 to see what time I have to be there Friday. I'm hoping early so I don't have to go all day without eating, that would just be cruel! I will update ya when I know tomorrow!

@ho11yday‌ ugh.. Sad thing is I drank the whole bottle and nothin'.. Soo I get to drink more, I assume. Now I'm wide awake with a nagging pain in my stomach from it. Lovely... All I'm trying to do is get things moving— to no avail...

That sucks.

I normally use regular magnesium oxide to get things moving plus it doesn't taste nearly as bad as the liquid crap.

Eep! LO just had his 4 mo. shots today. He was a little warm tonight and running a low 99* fever this evening. Dr. said it was still ok to give shots. DS just woke up and was crying before he would take the boob. He was hot too and had a temp of 104 then around 103.4/5 when I took it next (5 seconds later). It's right at the "call in" level but not quite. Luckily he nursed, took some tylenol, and fell asleep. Fx it goes down.

Update on feverish baby: 2nd wake up and he feels much cooler. He also latched right on without any fussing. Phew! Thanks all.

@Lissiehoya‌ scary! ! Stay safe!

I just received an invitation for a coworker's Sprinkle. This is her second baby (first one - they were team green and it was a girl). This time around they found out and it's a boy. She had her girl in April 2012. Sprinkle? Fine -whatever. I get it - we'll all get you a cute boy outfit and some diapers. BUT SHE REGISTERED! Are you fucking kidding me?!

Included on her registry are boy-themed receiving blankets and specific outfits. You were team green before....I know you don't need basketballs on your receiving blanket. Reuse the gender neutral A&A ones your received last time. And a 4moms mamaRoo?....I. Just. Can't.
