this
morning my baby center app had a little video of the development from
weeks 10 to 14. so i had the great idea to show it to DD1. she started
crying and said she didnt want that baby. she wanted a regular baby. ::adds to list of things she will need therapy for, thinking i am giving birth to an alien::
DS has his second cold in his little 2 year life. He's so pathetic looking and I feel so bad. But he's also so cute. He fell asleep on the couch watching Paw Patrol. He's never done this before. So I switched Netflix to Gilmore Girls and have been watching while he sleeps next to me for the past hour. I'm enjoying listening to him snore because his nose is all stuffed up.
i want a new computer for work, my needs are pretty basic but i want an apple product so i can make movies out of my 2394082344 videos of the kids. i know nothing about what is on the market. any suggestions of mac or ipad? and if so what version i need?
need to: make videos Microsoft office outlook/emails decent storage
We moved DD out of the crib and into a regular twin bed this weekend. Everything's going great! And by great, I mean that she's sticking to her normal routine of moving into our bed somewhere between 2-4 am, which she's done for as long as I can remember. Hey, at least it's not getting worse!

@jessafishy it's only been 2 nights, so we're not in the clear yet. What's the issue for you? I'm terrified DD's going to get up and wander around the house in the middle of the night. So far, I've been able to scare her into staying in her bed and calling for me if she needs anything.

@beezeemarie we got the child gates back out and blocked the hall way. I really don't think she would wonder around in the dark, but the other night she got up and came to our bed by herself which surprised me. Normally she just calls for me if she wakes.
zomg DD2 keeps waking up every 2 hours. WTF i didnt know she was a newborn. and half the time she comes into our room and i am so out of it i just put her in bed with us. which means she is pressed against my body pushing me off. if she doesnt get adjusted to the big bed by the end of the week i am running away.
@beezeemarie Not wanting to stay in his bed at bedtime unless I lay on the floor for at least an hour to let him fall asleep. My SI joint paint doesn't like this. Plus he went from staying in his room until 6:45-7:00am to getting up at 5:00am. At least he has kicked that back to 6:00am finally.
This is like... a month into it at this point.

This is what I want to know how to transition from? I have to lay with DD until she falls asleep, which is why we got her a twin so I can actually lay with her. I usually fall asleep waiting for her to get good and asleep.

i go in and put her on the bed and leave. to which she promptly gets out and cries at the door. i go in and put her down again. we have gone from having to do this 329402342x to 2-3x. i just stand outside her door until she is laying on the bed crying/whimpering herself to sleep. the part i am having a problem with is keeping her asleep. she wake up every 2 hours. i do the same routine. but by the 2am and 4am wake up i am a zombie and half the time cave and lay with her or bring her in our bed.
@jessafishy oh man, I hope he figures it out soon! If DD needed me to do that, I guarantee I would end up just sleeping in her bed most nights, I'm so freakin exhausted.

@mommac2017 It's good to know that LO snores are cute. I want to push DH off the bed whenever he snores.
So my SIL sent me a bag of maternity clothes- and they are so gold. Jeans, shorts, work pants, tops, belly band, shirts. Call me a blonde (because I am) but I didn't realize that maternity pants fit the same as normal pants, just with a band. For some reason I was envisioning hugeness everywhere, and I've been confused by the maternity clothes thread and women saying they're wearing them already. OMG they're so comfy.
And the shirts are all mostly just long and stretchy so I could even wear those now! I did last night, with leggings, and it was so great how long the shirt was to cover my butt. I don't think I'm going to have to do much, if any, bump shopping. SIL for the win.
@bluejeanbabi05 some maternity stuff i still wear, like dresses. i dont get how they are different, just a little longer in the front but thats cool. i need more fabric to get over my boobs
So dumb question....and I don't know where else to put it. Whenever someone posts a link, and I'm on mobile, it won't open. Is that just the way it is because the app is so crappy? Or should it open just fine? I'm on an iPhone. It drives me crazy because if it's something I walk to look at I'll literally go get on my computer just for that lol
@purplestars If that happens to me I just hold the link until the "copy link" button comes up. Then I copy and paste into Safari.
The app sucks balls.

@carries2018 my 6 year old said " that's disgusting!" When she saw my 8 week U/S photo! Lol. Thankfully I convinced her she will see an actual baby form eventually.
We bought the girls bunk bed this weekend. It will be delivered next Friday. DD1 got new bedding and a new room theme last year for her 9th birthday. She'll be 10 next Thursday and we're not changing theme:colors. DD2 will have to get a new bedding set because her current bed is a full and she'll be going to a twin top bunk. So I picked up her bedding set today to match DD1. Thankfully she loves it. Eases my fear of her hating her new bed. I foresee her sneaking into her sisters bed for a while. I cried so hard over this room sharing/bunk bed business , but DD2 is so laid back and easy going she makes it a little easier. below is DD1s set and then DD2s new set. We did lots of coral / dark aqua and light aqua in her room with tons of gold accents.
@canonmom413you have awesome taste, that's exactly what I did DDs nursery in. I wanted something that could grow with her and loved the color combination.
@mrs_fogue I was so jealous when we did her room last year because it looked so good. I hand painted canvas with those flowers on them and two quotes : " she believed she could so she did" and " if you don't leap you'll never know what it's like to fly "
We go in phases with me need lay with DS until he falls asleep. He's in a converted toddler bed so there's no room for me in the bed so I lay on the floor. Not comfy. We're getting him a full bed soon but I still want to break the habit. I am looking forward to being able to snuggle while reading bedtime stories, though.
@jessafishy@bluejeanbabi05 ah, thank you! I don't know how my brain couldn't figure that one out! I felt like the "old" bump app from 3 years ago worked better than this one!
My dog has a pollen allergy that turned into facial swelling that turned into an ear infection that turned into antibiotics that make her vomit up everything she eats, almost exclusively in the middle of the night. My coworkers keep saying it's good practice for a baby....
@purplestars YESSSS I can be dead asleep and that sound shoots me up and down the stairs so fast! Buuuuut we don't always make it. I slept on the couch the last 2 nights with her to get to the yard quicker. Not fun.
DD2 did the normal wake up at 10pm and midnight, had to do the put her back to bed 3x routine. but then she stayed in bed until 645am. A 6+ HOUR STRETCH!!!!!!!!!
My mom bought DD a bunch of dress-up costume jewelry for Christmas. She doesn't like to wear it ever but she likes to force me to wear it. I'm currently sitting here with 7 beaded bracelets on, three necklaces (including an Elsa necklace, so I'm pretty special), and a tiara.
ETA : they are also made for toddler sized body parts so I might lose a hand or two due to loss of circulation.
It's gloomy and raining here today. I dropped DS off at daycare and I plan on napping, eat, binge watching tv, eat, nap some more, then maybe shower. I just worked 13 hr shifts on my feet the past two days, so please don't judge sending my kid to daycare for the day
@curlyq423 that sounds like heaven. I would love a mental health day with the house all to myself.
It is raining here today too and the stupid wind caught my umbrella and broke it.

@jessafishy Oh no! Hopefully you don't get rained on too much. Tomorrow it might even snow here! Not. Cool. Then 70 degrees over the weekend (of course I work all weekend).
Snow?! No thanks I'm done with that stuff. This weather has been insane.

@jessafishey Yep, I think rain/snow mix. There was a snowflake on the weather app for tomorrow, that was enough for me to be annoyed. Hooray for the Midwest.

In Montreal too, we're not done with snow... 60 centimeters last week! We re still getting mixes of rain and snow everyday. Cant wait for that to be over. Its depressing!
