I went to Target with LO today and when I was leaving, realized that I hadn't eaten and it was getting late. I decided to drive thru McDonald's and by the time I got there, LO was asleep. I knew that if I waited to get home, she'd wake up the second we got inside and I'd never have a change to eat or unpack anything so I drove around and ate in silence. that had led me to the conclusion that anything eaten in the car to keep the baby asleep is zero calories/fat/sugar. because exhausted, hungry, exhausted, busy, exhausted.

I had McDonalds lunch too! But now my bf called and asked me to meet him for lunch. I know there's something called second breakfast but is second lunch ok too?

Always.

I call it naptime snack to make myself feel better about it.

FFFC: I was a little late for work today because I was updating my résumé to apply for a different job.

FFFC:  I didn't realize misspelling "guys" as "guise" was happening so much on purpose (like 'because small' and altrasound for a/s) and I just thought everyone's phones were autocorrecting or ppl were just typing it wrong...

Did this just remind anyone of the scene in Lord of the Rings where the hobbits are discussing their many meals? No? Okay then. ::Slinks back to her nerd cave::

That is interesting, because sometimes I see myself tagged in a thread, but didn't get a notification. I've always wondered about that. Must be a glitch? Because the thought of two of me is scary.

Gah, why do I think of my UO a day late!!

I returned clothes people just bought for DD. They freaked out that I 'only have 6 outfits'. The money went into some new clothes for DH and I. She doesn't need work clothes. We do. I don't think a baby NEEDs more then a 2-3 days worth of clothes. Its called laundry, its not hard to do(unpleasant at times yes, not hard). Why does DD need a 3 week supply of clothes? She isn't going to wear most of it before she out grows it. It's not shameful for her to wear the same few things for maybe 2 months. I'm just getting my money's worth out of 1 pack of onesies. No shame in my game of returning unNEEDed things for needed things.

I wish I had returned/exchanged more in the beginning. We were team green and were generously given TONS of gender specific clothes once LO arrived. I felt ungrateful returning them, but after the eleventieth size 0-3 month outfit, I realized it had to be done. I tried my best to exchange for similar outfits in much larger sizes and I'm pretty sure we have enough clothes through 12-18mos. I figured people would want her to actually be able to wear what they bought, which was only going to happen if I go a different size. I do wish I had started this sooner because there is so much she didn't wear.

DD can go through six onesies in a day.

That's not just talent... that's an art!

What's the medium... spit up, drool, poop? 

Mixed medium? 

She likes to mix it up and add in sweat or big brother food/dirt/sweat as well.

Right now, most days she rocks the cloth diaper. Before we leave I put a onesie on her and maybe some leg warmers, but once we get home it comes straight off. When it's not blazing hot, just a onesie. If the drool, ect isn't bad, she keeps it on till it's worthy of a change of wardrobe. Babies get dirty, they aren't always in clean clothes. Doesn't mean when it's soiled i leave her in it.

My FFFC (I guess FFSC now) is that some acronyms really mess with my head. BF (BreastFeeding/Boyfriend), BM (Breast Milk/Bowel Movement), AMA (Ask Me Anything/Advanced Maternal Age), TWW (apparently The West Wing[random thread]/Two Week Wait)

I can figure out what it means, but I frequently have to reread a sentence because my brain subs in the wrong word(s).

@FlightView‌ same boat. if I take Benedryl, I am down for the count so I haven't taken anything. eventually they stop itching so I just wait for it.
