I confess to judging this wedding we're going to.  It's on a Sunday evening.  And it's a couple of hours away for many of the guests.  And there's an after party.  What's up with that?

I was in a huge rush to get out of the house yesterday and forgot to put the stack of diapers I had ready into the diaper bag. So we had to use disposables at my moms for the day. She even had an adorable dress on that looked so cute with cloth peeking out. I felt awful.

It is rainy out today, and I fully intend to spend the day in sweats with the TV on.

I totally did this for like half of this week.  The weather was so lousy.  Thank God I had just gotten DS a bunch of new toys from IKEA so he didn't go totally stir crazy.  Last night was the first time it had stopped raining for awhile and he ran around the yard like he'd never seen grass before, lol.

I bought myself a new phone case and was sooo excited for it to arrive.

I bought it for the wrong phone. I'm dumb.

I love the rain, because my daughter gets to wear cute red rain boots and use an umbrella.  

I think she looks adorable in it and she has so much fun using her umbrella.

After yesterday's hot sauce post, I almost want to order a second case.   I feel like one case isn't enough for presents and me.  I just want to keep all the hot sauce for myself.

I've caught myself at work with my fly unzipped twice in the last two days. Apparently I've forgotten how to properly fasten pants after using the bathroom. 

Also, I haven't told my boss or my supervisor that I'm pregnant yet, and I'm dreading the conversation. I know they'll be nothing but supportive and happy for me, but I'll be bailing on my intern next semester and likely stick my supervisor with my intern. I feel like a bad employee. I also irrationally think that I'll be judged for having 2u2, but I guess I'm more judging myself. WTF psyche?

I'm torn about weaning my son.

He's really depending on the boob to fall asleep.  Like super dependent at night.  

I love all the cuddles, but I feel he really needs to start sleeping on his own.

Oh and with DS's pregnancy I started taking monthly photos at 4 weeks (so 1 month).  Tomorrow is 8 weeks with this pregnancy and zero photos.

I was the third child.  90% of the pictures I'm in are family photos.

I would pay good money for my kid to take a paci! I'd also pony up for a solution to his constant spit-up.

I have no remorse about not caring about my job. I'm really so over it. I need to get out of here and start some other career. It is killing me...I know it

I cried last night because M fell asleep at 8:45. Was up at 10,11,12,1. Slept til 4 but I was woken up by my work emergency phone. I was trying to get him to lay back down without nursing and he actually threw a tantrum-legs kicking and arms flailing. He was crying so hard and eventually grabbing for my face. I lost it

I'm the worst

((Hugs)) Meesh and Stringy. I really feel for you guys 

Hopefully soon M&M will work out their sleep issues and this will all be a distant memory. In the meantime there is coffee.   ......And booze. And internet strangers to lean on.

Should my FFFC be a shameless plug for you to BUY.ALL.THE.HOT.SAUCE?

I haven't bought diapers for months now (!!!!), this may be my new addiction.

Have you tried different brands? DS1 would only take MAM. Even though it was short lived (he gave up pacis all together at 3mo), it was the only kind he would take.

I have only tried Nuk and Soothies, so I'll have to grab some MAMs to try.

I'm running out of ways (and energy) to keep my 4 month old occupied all day, so the past few afternoons I have put an IKEA crib mattress protector down on the floor and let him hang around naked. He likes the access to his feet and penis so I get 30 minutes to bump. But today he isn't doing anything really. Just lying there enjoying the breeze from the window, staring at me ... I'm still going to bump.

Nope cuz my kid does the same and I cried too. Last night she screamed for mommy for a half hour (I'm not mommy). I was so gratified by her appreciation for my efforts to make her happy. Sarcasm.

Well I cried BECAUSE he was crying for me. Lol

And crying babies are no fun. I eventually just slept in his bed because I was so exhausted

And thanks @JEPES1348‌ it helps a little bit to know you guys are here

I'm so with you. We have tried EVERY single brand. He hates them all, especially if I give them to him. He acts like I just gave him hot sauce and screams even more. I am the only suitable pacifier. 

FFFC: In art school my friend made a cast of my nipple and made a "nipple ring" that goes on your finger out of it. I have seriously considered, on more than once occasion, making a paci by making a cast of my own nipple. I have all the stuff and know how to do it..

Red Rock you should totally do it!

Meesh, we have an arms flailing, back arching, screaming tantrum almost every time I try to put him down lately. And that's even when I try nursing him first. You're not alone. Hugs.

But when M is waking every hour-does he go back to sleep super fast? Or is he not really sleeping? I just can't imagine that many wake ups that close together.


Btw I have zero ideas on how to wean this kid. And he seems to be more dependent on nursing now. Help.

If I nurse him he falls right back to sleep. But his sleep must still be lacking, right? I mean, I'm getting out of bed and going to his room, staying awake to go back to my bed...so I'm getting less sleep.
But how can he not be exhausted???

And I am no help with the weaning-it doesn't look to be anywhere in our future-especially at sleep times

I worked on my PBumz today but didn't get as much done as I wanted. Now I'm laying in bed obsessing over them, and really want to sneak out and sew more of them.
