Ut oh maple my fears happened. I wasn't home for your box. I think everything inside is ok though.

I'm sorry, I just got so hungry and the only other thing in your bushes were some fallen acorns.

Ugh this was me all evening TJ. And I got my effing period. Cranky pants in the back seat.

Hugs, Stringy!  I was really pulling for you!  I know it's a really small consolation, but at least you can have All. The. Champagne. on NYE.

TJ1979

Hugs strings.

I got two frostings! But how long will they last cuz honestly my sugar intake has reached its limits? And TJ I got no Mexican truffles.

Stringy, you send me one frosting.

Stoney, you send me Mexican truffles.

Maple, what is left for me to order?

@Mapleme‌ Is the Mexican coffee truffle all sold out? I didn't see it when I looked 5 min ago

ETA: I've decided to order things, even if I missed out on the cinnamon and Mexican coffee. Dark chocolate and coconut sound pretty darn tasty and I need more hot sauce in my life.

1 more order coming your way, Maple!

The Mexican coffee truffle was a special. I do 6 special flavors each year at one event that I do. They're all experimental with no guarantees of anything. Folks now come to the event just to sample the specials. Each of the small flat rate truffle boxes that I put together includes two special flavors (I left out the roasted garlic and maple glazed cashew though because it was just too weird. Tasty, but in a very weird way). I just looked and one of my special boxes still has the coffee in it. And if DH hasn't taken it off the website yet, the Smoked Sriracha is sold out.


Thanks Maple. I didn't see smoked sriracha, but I did order green mountain sriracha and tomatillo & smoke. If those are supposed to be gone, just switch it out for something similar-ish. :-)

So, if I was to get a book on breastfeeding for my cousin. Should it be 'The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding' or 'The Nursing Mothers Companion' ? I've read both and have both, but I was going to buy one for my cousin and put information in it for her local LLL and ICBLC as well as her local Babywearing chapter since I'm giving her 2 carriers.

TJ1979

My phone charger won't fit into the only outlet near the couch. This is a problem. Fuck this, I am buying a new house.

Into+the+Kitty

I just want to go to bed, but my kid will not stop pooping. Omg.

Into+the+Kitty

Also, SO glad I use cloth. I mean, hot damn, kid.

TJ1979

My baby has sleep-dar. Within 15 minutes of my falling asleep, she wakes up... Every time.

@stringy813‌ I don't know if you're still looking for a bed rail solution, but do they make some kind of ping pong net-like mesh that could stretch between the the sides of the crib? Then it wouldn't matter that the mattress was on the floor...

I wish I could poop like your babe right now. Pregnancy had killed my already awful digestion routine.

Ack! Poor, TJ. We've been in this boat tonight, too. L has had some questionable poops today, so I suspect his stomach is bothering him. I must have eaten something wrong at Christmas. Dangit.

bumpuser9353653

Holy crap, Alex slept over 12hrs last night and only woke up once at 4:15 to nurse and go right back to sleep. Hallelujah! So much better than the entire weekend!

This thing where a kid sleeps in their own room is as amazing as I imagined.

Yay M! Hope she keeps it up for you guys!

Ok now I have a new phone. How do I mobile gif!?

I'm new.

I Google for gif images, then save the image to my phone. Then hit Attach File / Choose File and pick it from your phone's folder. Then tap the image and hit the "insert image" text that appears under the pic. I always hit delete image after that so it only displays once.

Hugs stringy - but yay for sleeping in her own room!!

I wish I could buy some of maples deliciousness but it costs a million dollars to ship here

Ooooh, I'm so anxious to see what your first gif will be, @stringy813‌. No pressure.

I'm afraid the jiggly boob gif may be a whole lot to ask of a phone on its first run.

Bored at work today.  This is kind of how I feel.

I said to myself I would water plants during H's nap.  Now he's awake and I haven't watered a single plant.  Poor plants.  

I have two plants for a reason.  I'm a terrible plant owner, because I wait until they look like they are drooping to water them.

I think Grr is over his bottle strike, and gearing up for a growth spurt! I really would like him to pack on some weight (his pedi was a little concerned at his last check-up and then he had stomach bug, a cold and a bottle strike since then).

SuperTinkerham

And I just learned how to make formula yesterday. Wheeeeee. (Previously was Mister chore, but he's got pneumonia and is off anything baby related).

Ehhh, I hadn't made any formula yet. Until now I've been in charge of breastmilk production and Mister has been in charge of formula production.

Guys, I'm at the DMV. Can I just say how thankful I am that DS's daycare provider is so flexible and let me drop him off there this morning? It's sooooooo busy.

Would it be totally odd to have a snowflake birthday theme for my daughter?

I have less than 2 weeks to pull it off.  Help.

My inspiration is a grey invitation with white print and snow flakes.  Don't pay attention to the writing.  I just like the style of the invite.

stringy813 said:

Sarenu I love it. Totally something we would do. Add some snowmen too!

oh yes.

I think I'm going to stop at Joann's on my lunch break and start getting some supplies.  

Stamps, paper, and maybe a snowflake punch.

stoneycakes

Yeah.  I like it a lot, @Sarenu1.

I just went to lunch with my friend who is thinking about TTC and I'm afraid I made pregnancy and parenting sound really hard. I mean, it is really hard.  But I'm supposed to sugar coat that part, right?  I think I did it wrong.

Nikkipal82

@Sarenu1 , you could make a bunch of those folded snowflakes out of white paper and hang them everywhere! It would be so pretty. There are also some really cute snowflake cookie cutters you could use for cookies or cake decorating. I really love your idea!

I hated how many people told me that parenting was awful when I was pregnant. Very hard, yes, but parenting is far from awful and I still get my feathers ruffled thinking about that.

I definitely didn't say it was awful.  I said it was wonderful. I did emphasize that it could be really hard with a lot of ups and downs.  I just hope it came off how I meant it and not like an annoying know-it-all parent.

I just made a total impulse buy of a leather bound book of the US national parks. Monogrammed with hubs' initials. It looks super cool and I think hubs will like it, but I have no idea when I should give it to him. Birthday? Fathers day? Anniversary? Save it for 4 yrs until we move to CO?
