FFFC

I was mixing avocados with my hand blender on Tuesday and wound up in the ER with 21 stitches on my pointer finger. Somehow I threw all common sense out the window, reached behind the blade to dislodge a clump, hit the start button at the same time...and I won't go into the gross details of what happened next. I'm more embarassed and mad at myself for doing such a stupid thing than anything else.

Re: FFFC
Stuff like this just happens sometimes! When I worked at DQ as a teenager, one of the girls didn't tie her hair up like we were supposed too. She was making a blizzard, turned her head to respond to a customer and her hair got caught in the rotating shaft! I can't imagine how horrible she must have felt.
OhEmmGee... OUCH!!!
I've managed to hurt myself everytime I've made baby food so far. Just not to that extent!
I've pinched a finger between the blender jar and base a couple times and burned myself on my steamer once. Maybe I should throw in the towel and stick to store-bought.. the universe may be trying to tell me something!
BF babies STTN too. Mine does. It's the baby, not what you feed them.
Oh no! I hope your finger feels better soon!
I rock my LO to sleep every night. All my family and friends keep telling me I need to let her CIO so she can learn to self-soothe. She's a great sleeper and I haven't had any problems with her sleeping so I lie now tell them that I put her down and she falls asleep on her own because I don't want to hear them tell me what to do anymore. The truth is I will probably rock her to sleep every night until she's too big to fit on my lap lol. I just love that time we have together before she falls asleep and I don't want to give it up...
I hear ya there!
To make you feel better...
A few weeks ago I was curling my hair, and wanted to make it really curly, so I was using a small barrel and was curling chunks in opposing directions (which is not what I normally do, so it was awkward to me) I ended up burning my ear, then when I was attempting to dislodge the barrel I burned it AGAIN, in the same spot. The side of my ear was horribly burned. I couldn't wear my hair up for two weeks. You'd think I was a teenager learning to use the damn thing!!
My FFFC- the past week I have been really lazy and right before DH gets home I do a really quick pick up of the house and make it look like I did something all day. Then I would tell him DS was really fussy and I couldn't get much done today... He thinks DS must be teething since he's been so fussy lately!
I put my little guy in the bumbo on the counter when i am doing dishes. He likes to be in on the action. I dont care if people dont like it. He is needy right now and I want him near me.
Another one, i dont feed him solids usually more than once a day. I feel like I should but its so messy and a hassle. I know eventually I will have to make him a veggie, fruit and others for a meal and just dont want the hassle until he is older.
I hate onesies. I hate putting them over LO's head, taking them off and when the leg holes show over his pants (baby thong line).
also:
We are house hunting and because we are so ready to own our own home I have zero motivation to clean our apartment. It needs to be swept so bad but I don't feel like it. (not dirty, just messy).

Dream of a better world...where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.
I used to do this too, but DS was in his bumbo on the counter when I cut my finger in the blender. A few people who I told the story to said they would have passed out, and it made me think how lucky I got that I didn't because DS could have gotten really hurt. Lesson learned...freak accidents can happen so I'm not putting him up there ever again.
OUCH!! Hope you're finger gets better, Don't feel bad this morning I picked my curling iron up and I don't mean by the handle but the HOT part. Ugh!
My UO-It creeps me out when Men work at Daycare centers:()
I meant FFFC not UO lol
Sounds like a lot of us are having medical problems of some sort. I had a CT scan last week and just got my results back. except my doctor sucks and wouldnt tell me what the results were just gave me pictures.
Long story short my confession is that my Dr is a stupid jerk.

This!!! His toenails are always so long bc they're harder to file too!
Can I "LOVE" this? I feel the same way about any snuggle time (which includes BF for me) I get with DS... sometimes I resent that it's always me, but then when I look at him in my arms I realize he will never be *this* age again, and I continue...

I was thinking about this last night. I know I'm suppossed to lay him down drowsy but most of the time I just don't want to. Holding him in my arms is the best, most relaxing part of my day and I cherish it so much.
In this situation I can see that. If it was something that could potentially hurt him I would think twice. I dont think doing his bottles and nipples are going to hurt him...but freak things do happen. Thanks for the reminder.
I agree with alove4chevys, I started solids this week and it is a pita already. I now want to bf as long as possible it's so much easier to just stick a boob in DD's mouth and be done...
My fffc, I still wear my maternity jeans/pants all the time, not because I can't squeeze into my regular ones...I find my maternity ones so much more comfortable. I have seriously contemplated buying more.

That is just downright necessary! I will be wearing comfy pants in a few weeks for our 12 hr drive!
That is really strange...I hope you find out what is wrong and it is not serious
.
LOL on the maternity pants, I never found any that fit me right. They were always saggy in the butt and I felt like I had a load in there lol.
As far as solids, I do think it helps them learn to use their hands and other things but dangit if it isnt inconvenient! I dread the day no more just pop a bottle in and making sure he eats every meal and snacks. That requires alot more thought! Oh well that is how it works.
I put DD on the bar in her bumbo. It's big and there is no way she could tumble off... I don't care, either!
I hate feeding solids too. So much work. When I look back on this period with DD I realize that I kind of halfassedly did purees until she was old enough for finger foods, and there were a lot of Gerber puffs and Cheerios for a while, and she turned out okay, so whatevs. Both my kids have hit the solid food phase in the summer, when our travel plans make it difficult to do any sort of sustained feeding program.
Oh how I miss going braless! Those days seem so long ago.

Haha me too! Pre-pregnancy I liked everything to fit really tight so I had most of my work pants tailored to fit me like a glove and they are ridiculously uncomfortable to me now. I have to wear normal jeans now though, DH caught me changing out of mat jeans the other day and gave me a really hard time haha.
LOL mine is similar, althogh we have tried our LO on many differnt foods, invariably he gets rice puffs and apple slices during the day if he is lucky (often I don't have time/forget), and strawberry baby food at night (he loves the strawberry I swear it will be is first word). I have no imagination so he gets the same thing al the time, I know I should give him more varietybut it is so easy to stick rice puffs on the tray and let him go nuts.
Diagnosed with Anti little c antibodies. DS1 7.11.11 - Anaemia and Jaundice. 10 days in the NICU, 1 exchange transfusion and 4 blood transfusions. DS2 29.8.13 - Anaemia 7 days in the NICU and 1 exchange transfusion. Both are now happy and healthy.This exactly!!! I had to supplement in the first few months and he has been STTN since week 8. I stopped giving him his 2 bottles of formula every night around 3 1/2 months and his sleep pattern didnt change at all. If anything it got better with longer stretches as he got older.
Thanks me too. All I know by looking at it is I have *something* on one of my lungs. Looks like a blob or a penny to me but who really knows. Maybe it will venture on to be my next siggy pic lol
Add me to this camp. I have a stressful job and miss LO so much during the day. Rocky rockies is our "special time"
I do the same thing all the time. I'm also guilty of rocking/nursing to sleep 100% of the time and holding her for all of her naps (because our summer weekends are so busy, I've been procrastinating on nap training until we get a good stretch of time at home). She STTN so at least my bad habits haven't affected her nighttime sleep.
I am kindof stressed already for the weekend plans. When there is a holiday I start to wish one of our families lived further away. Right now we have to make visits to both our families and still try to find time for ourselves.
Plus, I am that super smart chick that planned to do our family photos tomorrow. Way to go me! One extra thing to do. Hope they turn out great. DD can be so unpredictable when it comes to picture taking.
Us too. She mostly sleeps a 5 - 6 hour stretch followed by two 2-hour streches at night but every now and then we have a crap week. This is a crap week
Our dogs are part of our family and we like to take them everywhere we go. And bc we have so many its sometimes hard to do things like go on long weekends to the beach or camping.
Bc we usually go with friends and not everyone wants the dogs around and we cant find someone (dont want to put it on someone) to watch them.
And its frustrating that friends are ok with just telling us to leave our dogs home bc thats what they do. And we def cant aford to board them every other week and honestly... I like bringing our girls with us and would hate to board them.
I don't think feeding solids is all that difficult. sure it takes a little more time, but I think it's fun!
LCT - 5.15.14 ~ 9lbs, 22.5 inches
The only thing I don't like about solids is when H does a crappy shot of wiping C down afterwards. And by crappy, I mean I'm finding bits of breakfast between his fingers at 5PM. It's gross.
