Good lord. That SAHM/M14/Parenting thread is so amazing. Here are one million high fives to @bearsbearsbears‌, @mrsmuq, @aditigirl, @mcbenny, and @mrsbadkat.

I reaaaaally hope we can all say we are team bears.

I'm not sure there is any other team for anyone with a lick of common sense. I only read the first couple pages because I didn't get why there was conflict at all, especially since OP herself didn't seem offended.

DH is going through his old Magic cards...we have almost two grand worth if cards sitting in front of us, and that's less than ten cards! I am so fucking excited.

AWing DS making B give the biggest social smiles yet. I'm pretty sure if B could laugh he would have. (this is a screenshot from a video of DS naming all of B's body parts- so cute!)

@MommyP710‌ has got the Harry Potter trophy and @StrawberryDreams219‌ has got the light sabers, so I'm just gonna leave this here and hope I'm not alone in this sentiment!

@skamber‌ I have it cut to make in 6 mon, 12 mon, 18 mon and 2T. I'm going to try to start doing etsy just to make some mulo on the side while no working, but really to fund my cloth diaper obsession...

@StrawberryDreams219‌ a fb group called fabricstache. Unfortunately they only made it once so you have to buy from people hoarding it and it's not cheap

How can you tell when disposable diapers are too small? the leg hole on the newborn size diapers seems too small on the baby. I am using pampers Swaddlers. I've tried size 1 of Costco and Target brand but they both just look so huge and seem too big around the leg holes.

We have a big event this weekend at the river. My company sponsers it so I'm going to see a good amount of my coworkers for the first time since I had C. I have nothing to wear, it's giving me anxiety thinking about going.

My LO is 2 months today! We also have her shots today which isn't the funnest but I am sure she will do fine. Where did my newborn go?

this. only our shots were yesterday. I forget our LOs have the same birthday!

W had her lip tie fixed yesterday and has been so fussy. Not that I can blame her, but I feel bad that I can't seem to comfort her.

Also. I love Harry Potter. If I could find my Nook I would start rereading it for the hundredth time.

How did B do after his shots?

We're loving this play mat! Keeps C occupied for a while. He's sitting under it looking at himself in the mirror.

He'll be 6 weeks tomorrow. He does 5-15 minutes at a time. I can tell once he discovers his hands it'll be longer. He really likes the mirror and the feeling of the keyboard on his feet.

Its not even five yet and I just finished a hard cider. Charlie fought sleep for two hours. TWO. HOURS. I am exhausted and sore from holding him for that long. Oof.

We are having he same day. Daphne slept okay this morning then fought sleep for nearly three hours this afternoon. I'm getting a drink ASAP.

I'd have a second but I have my first therapy appt. in an hour and I don't think its a good impression if I show up drunk...

My mom came over today so I could get out of the house. It was nice to have a couple hours to myself. She's going to watch dd on Friday as well so Dh and I can go to dinner for our anniversary. I'm honestly nervous about it because everything we do revolves around dd and I don't know if we even know how to talk to each other anymore. Maybe a dinner out will help.

@kcort13 it helped us last week try to use the time to just relax.

@BrightEyes112‌ You're such a Good Samaritan

I didn't get the transfer I was hoping for The person who did's position will be available, but that will still be pretty demanding, but probably less than my current position.  WWYD? I'd potentially be moving from learning support to gifted.

H will be working insane overtime the month. The extra money he'll be bringing will be the same or more than what my income will be when I return to work. I'm debating if I should take extra time off or go back as planned and put the extra in savings. There are pros to both..

@strawberryfields30‌ I just used fotor.com if I'm remembering the link right

LO is 2 months old today and has her check up (and shots) in a couple of hours. I'm already upset about it.
Boo- that this is my last Wednesday of maternity leave. Back to work in a week. (unless I win the lottery so I can be a SAHM)

nunzchucks

@ugabamafans‌ I know how you feel (minus the shots). On one hand I'm sad this is my last baby, but on the other hand, I'm happy to move forward, not be pregnant and not be sleep deprived!

My carpal tunnel is 99% better! Can't wait for it to go away completely!

I'm not a teacher so I have I idea what any of that means...but sending good vibes that whatever you choose you end up loving it, I'm sure you'll do great!!

The child who has never taken a pacifier in her life has decided that she and I both need one, given that I've been trying to get Charlie to take one.

Ffwc, she stuck mine in my mouth on her way to bed ten minutes ago...I haven't taken it out yet.

steprozz

I am so proud of B! he weighed 10lbs 14oz at his 2 month check up and has finally outgrown most of his newborn clothes! looking at him would you ever guess he refused to eat for the first 3 weeks of his life? I mean check out the double chin :P

eta yes I label my child. no shame!

A few months ago I took a quiz for fun that was Which Disney Sidekick Are You. My result was Olaf from Frozen. Well, having just watch Frozen this morning, I'm really not sure how I feel about that - A kooky, air head type snowman...

otter1103

@mrsdbc‌ - I'm debating watching the trailer too. Although I think I'm the only one who hasn't read the book(s) too.

whoberry

Haven't read them either!

Glad I'm not the only one who didn't read 50 shades! I was too busy tearing through the Percy Jackson series... >:D<

nunzchucks

@otter1103 I love Percy Jackson! I'm on book four of Heroes of Olympus right now. Did you read that series?

Would anyone be opposed to a flame free weekly thread instead of just Friday? I can start the thread on Fridays still but I've noticed a lot of fffc during the week. Thoughts? @BrightEyes112‌ @LilNunz1‌

That's cool. I feel like FFFC lasts all week anyway! It's always bumped!
