I smell phantom shit. I'll go to change G's diaper, positive that he's dirty, and nothin.

@LightBright515‌ -- I love the Shea Moisture sensitive; it's awesome and super mild: https://www.sheamoisture.com/Fragrance-Free-Gluten-Free-Baby_c_197.html

Eta: they sell it at Target

Hey! I have the yellow one from their line. I notice that I don't see the dry spots as much with it, but I will keep the sensitive line in mind!

So after weighing myself yesterday, I've been thoroughly depressed. Today has been day #1 of eating better. It blows. I just want to eat cookies all day without gaining weight. Is that too much to fucking ask for?!

Fudgeeeee! She definitely has cradle cap. Dammit.

This kid has too much hair for some damn cradle cap! I'll be dousing her in almond oil, and brushing her hair on Sunday at her next bath X(

Baby oil and a warm wash cloth got all the cradle cap dryness off my DD's face. Works in hair too!

You just gently rub the scalp with the wash rag? Did you apply the oil to the face and scalp and then rub? Or on the wash rag?

I'm a FTM dammit! I need directions lol

Mustela looks promising too..

I am starving. Man!

I need a reality check ... is a gofundme account okay for funeral expenses????  Saw a post on FB for one ... think it's tacky.

I would say depends on the situation and who set it up. Our school set one up when a student died unexpectedly and her single mom was struggling with funeral expenses...

Super super tacky. But also not the dead person's fault the family didn't save for the funeral.

Another reason I want to be cremated. The thought of being a burden to my family (or facebook strangers) is not what I want.

This is my view this morning.  I hate winter here, but I'll admit this is pretty.

@pnwlover12‌ sorry you're down. Numbers are assholes cookies all day ftw! Its hard to eat well with one kid how in the hell?

LightBright515

I don't know. In some extreme situations, I think gofundme accounts are ok.

Extreme.

Sometimes I feel like I gave birth to twins - DD and my Diabetes control. Seriously, I can't keep my blood sugars up with all of this breast feeding. I feel like I'm back in 1st trimester all over again.

I'm sorry you're struggling so much with your diabetes. (Hugs)

@MrsBabe614‌ - You can always load a video to youtube and give them the link so they can pull it up. The letter is always a nice way to go though.

Leo had a half hour nap in his crib, woke up with gas pains. I gave him gripe water and I'm trying to get him back to sleep on my lap. He keeps waking himself up farting.

I have 2 new "faux-bies" (fake Moby) for $10.  I simply bought 5.5yrds of fabric (soft like a t-shirt) on clearance and had them cut it in half length-wise, then I went grocery shopping with it.  Score.  He slept the whole time.

And don't hate me, but I'm already 4lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight.  Don't worry, I need to lose like 45lbs more to be at an okay weight.

I agree. Circumstances like this make it understandable.

I like my squeem @SPurp13‌ . It's a waist trainer, so it doesn't really "smooth" me out, but it sucks me in. I don't know what other products thy have, but I'm pleased with my purchase thus far. You could try the waist trainer and then a smoothing product over it for maximum results..

pnwlover12

Yeah, there isn't enough spandex in the world to make me look smooth or sucked in.

LightBright515

Belly fat is already the hardest fat to lose, so I'm already overwhelmed with the thought of getting rid of this small pooch/sag in my midsection.

Lots and lots of cardio. And a whole bunch of Pilates to restore my core!

I was surprised to see that I was 2lbs under pregnancy weight but I still need to lose a whole lot more since I started overweight anyways. And yay for craftiness!! I want to go to the fabric store now!!

I promise this is me.  My "okay weight" mentioned above meant finally under 200lbs.  That's my goal for his first bday, hitting 199lbs.  Now, I just need to find enough give-a-damn, and rewire my brain to hate all delicious desserts/snacks.

I'm going stir crazy since it's been so freaking cold! I'm taking DD to meet the daycare lady. FX!

Pssssssh! Yes there is. You might feel like you're back in third tri with limited lung capacity/breathing..... :-\"

But it can be done!!

If I wasn't so chicken at the hospital, I probably would've put my waist trainer on sooner. But they did wrap me up one day in the hospital...

LightBright515

I feel you Crawford.

So, I wrote DH about what I was talking to you guys earlier about. He surprised me and came home from work and took DD so I could get a break and a nap. And now he's totally on my side about the holiday/MIL drama. He wrote her a big long email with a suggestion of splitting the holidays evenly and she's still being stubborn and giving reasons why it wont work. I'm just glad hes on my side now.

windwithfingers

Let DS fall asleep on me, then swaddled him and put him in the rnp. He lasted 7 minutes, which is about 4 minutes longer than he usually lasts. Getting this kid to sleep on his back is going to be a fucking chore.

MrsSarahRenee

@MrsSinner402‌ Yay! I am glad you are feeling better.

cshade07

I had a skype meeting with a client today so I had to make my top half look somewhat presentable... LO was pretty pissed when I put him in the p&p for it.. Didn't cry, just kept grunting at me. Over half way into the meeting the client asked me if I realized there was vomit on my shoulder. Why no, no I did not. Well play kid, well played....

victoria+james

@sngsoprano1‌ & @windwithfingers‌ - I've recently started letting M fall asleep in my arms. Then I sit cross legged on the couch or bed and let him lay on his back in my lap with his tush in the center gap so he is still on me and feels like he's being held (and I have hands free to bump). After a bit I can pick him up keeping him on his back and move him to the PnP or crib without him fussing when I put him down on his back.

@savagek7‌ does that mean you're coming over to the west side?? Safe travels!!

Yep! DH's family is near Muskegon. We're just through Grand Rapids right now... I hate that snow brings out the stupid drivers even more...

We got like 9" here. Up by the pinky. It SUCKS.

Oh I got it. You just uses the bat signal...

windwithfingers

@FamousEa‌ oh I need to try that! That's on the agenda for tonight.

@victoria+james‌ thanks! I hold him that way sometimes so I'll just have to try it while he's asleep.

My baby is wearing 3-6 months clothes and size 2 diapers. According to the (highly inaccurate, I know) scale method, he weighs 14 lbs. Wtf, kid? It's only been 6 weeks!

Dude. Your kid is two of my kid. We are still waiting to cross the 8 lb mark at 5 weeks! He's going to be a tall handsome man!

Just like his daddy

LightBright515

Yeah, L is 9lbs. But size 1's seem so big on her. She is super long! The only thing chubby on her are her cheeks.

I'm not saying we shouldn't talk about it here (this is a safe place), but now that I have a little girl, I'm refusing to talk badly about my size or shape. I'm not even letting my head go there. This extra weight gave me this baby, and I'm giving myself a pass. If I let those self-deprecating thoughts get in my head, they always end up coming out my mouth, and I'm determined to never let Sunny hear me talk badly about my body.

I'm inclined to agree with you when I have a clear head. The c section is the driving force behind this. I'm scared to run. If I Could do that, I would not feel nearly as bad about my body. Plus, all the shit about c section moms never getting their stomachs back to normal has me really worked up.

I call this the I'm Going To Fuck With Your Head Allllllll Day look. This was at 10am. Shit got real around 10:03, and only got better once husband got home. If I have to say the words "What the fuck do you want" one more time, I will just drop her off at the nearest fire station myself.

I got to fight with her all day in between fighting with my mother. I kept saying "my baby is screaming and hasn't eaten anything, I can't fight with you now," but still she continued to threaten all the things for two hours. I'm exhausted. She is pissed because my mil watched the baby for an hour last night. My mother was here for 4 hours yesterday afternoon and watched the baby alone for almost two hours while I was on the treadmill and showered. What is the problem?
