What have you got today, ladies?

I confess that the show Sisters Wives is a guilty pleasure of mine.  DH is always like, "You watch that show a lot.  Do you wish you had sister wives?" I always respond "Do you wish I had sister wives?" And then I just laugh at him.  I would never, in a million years, want to share my husband.

I confess that I know absolutely nothing about cloth diapering.

The last few days though I have been thinking about wanting to learn more, because I'm realizing what a tight budget we are going to be on. If any of you lovely ladies could point me in the direction of a good website to learn more in terms of pricing, benefits, how to use them, etc. I would be so grateful!

I figured this was a good way to ask instead of starting another newbie post that you must see all the time!

I bought 3 pints of Ben & Jerry's to console myself because DH is out of town from Wednesday to Monday. There is a good chance they will be gone before he gets back.

A lot of people recommend the Cloth Diapering 101 series on YouTube, not to mention the FAQ section on the top of this page! Both are really good places to start. Also, read this board and don't be afraid to ask questions. The ladies here are really helpful.

A is still sleeping and hasn't been sleeping well so I'm just laying in bed still with her playing games on my iPad... But, sigh, only 2% battery life left, so this is going to suck.

Yesterday, on my home board, someone posted about a problem. Her babies name was the same as the month s/he was born in. I was ashamed that I totally judged and couldn't even get beyond that fact (it had nothing to do with the question either).

I almost always buy ice cream and order a pizza when DH is out of town!

Agreed with PP! The FAQs on this board were invaluable when I was building my stash.

I don't really care for my BMB. I consider hijacking the July board daily.

I'm irritated that B SIL is having a boy. At first I wanted them to have a boy bc if we ever have one I don't want him to be the only one. But now that I know I'm worried we'll have a girl and DHs family will be so over the moon that they've finally got their boy that they'll look at our girl as a consolation prize for us. I don't care either way, I just want a baby. But right now I feel like its my womb against the world and I don't even want to tell them what were having when we find out.
SMIL seriously told me she was praying for us to have the first boy. And she got teary. Wtf.

I'm on the July bmb and don't find it that great. Some of the regs drive me crazy... I want to punch them!!

As for the baby thing I'm in a similar situation. BIL said they'd have a second when we finally had our first. Well turns out they werent lying because they are 3 months behind us now! They have a girl, and we are having a boy. And all of me wants them to have another girl because if they have a boy I feel like the grandparents won't care about our boy. For reference they live next door to the grandparents and we are an hour and half away. So no matter what they will know that kid more.

YellowLily2013

My confession. I haven't been eating my veggies and now I'm constipated!!

And my veggies are rotting and it's a big waste. I know I know just eat that darn salad! But it hasn't sounded good. I'm over here dreaming of cake, cookies, and donuts! AND I didn't have much of a sweet tooth before this pregnancy.

Dinner last night was 2 pieces of toast with apple butter and chips and salsa. I've got some food issues.

Thank you SO much. I'm mobile bumping so I didn't know there was a FAQ section at the top. I will check out both! Thanks again!

I hit refresh on this board way too much. And I get way giddy when someone quotes me. Especially when they're agreeing with me. I don't really care for my BMB. I consider hijacking the July board daily. I'm irritated that B SIL is having a boy. At first I wanted them to have a boy bc if we ever have one I don't want him to be the only one.

SMIL seriously told me she was praying for us to have the first boy. And she got teary. Wtf.

My niece is 7 weeks younger than dd2. They wanted a boy so bad. Its now become an unspoken race to see who has the first boy in the family. Both of us are only having 1 more, and I have a feeling they will both be girls. I would really be happy with either, but I'm petty and my SIL is super competive and drives me nuts, so I want to beat her to it.

We're in the process of trying for a second right now.  We live in a 2 bedroom house, so at some point we're either going to move or add on. 

I'm really hoping for a boy, but it would be easier with a second girl.

Still I'm hoping for a little boy...

We're not in a "race" so much as my dh's family seem to all be hoping for another boy. There are 3 girl grandchildren and 1 boy. Part of me wants another girl just to spite them. The other part of me wants a girl because my nephew is a little hellion and I really don't want my son picking up behavior cues from him. Besides, my oldest niece is a tomboy and plays better w/ my nephew than my dd (they're all close in age), so I kind of feel bad for dd and hope she has a "girly" sister to play with - even though they'll be nearly 7 years apart.

Then I feel bad because I know deep down dh and FIL would like a boy. (Even though they'd never admit it outloud.)

I loved that show, but we now got rid of TV and it isn't on Hulu or Netflix. :-(  I would hate sharing my husband, but have to say- it would be nice to have a sister wife to help around the house. ;-)

I am now back to my pre-pregnancy weight. That would be great if it weren't for the fact that I had lost so much weight earlier in the pregnancy and ended up only being up one pound before having my lo. I didn't have a one pound baby so that means I am apparently better at gaining weight while BFing than I am when pregnant...

I was too lazy to figure out a night diaper last night (the new gnhw were in the wash) so I used a sposie. DD woke up with a rash.

Lo is sick and has awful diarrhea, I was getting frustrated with keeping up with wash so I put her in 1 sposie. She was in a full out rash an hour later lesson learned.

My BMB is pitiful. Really slow, and when people do post it's usually a really lame gtky. But I rarely post, so I guess I can't really complain.

Lately I really dislike facebook too. I swear if there were a way to block people's "shared" photos there would be nothing on my newsfeed. "share if you have a brother you love." "share if you want our troops to come home safe." And countless memes, most not funny.

My sister just had a baby. She already has a girl and everyone wanted this baby to be a boy. I'm petty and I really want boys so I hoped she had another girl. It's a girl.

Since I'm such a terrible person, I know I'll end up with all girls now.

My MIL will love(or pretend to) BILs more than mine and DHs especially if they have a girl. She prefers FSIL far more than me and when DD was a newborn I overheard her say that she can't wait until they have babies,

Feed your baby however you like.  I don't care as long as you feed them (and if you don't feed them, I'm calling Social Services).

BUT If you are introducing finger foods at 9 months after doing purees then it is NOT BLW.  Nor is doing mostly purees and a little bit of finger foods BLW. It just isn't.

I forgot my biggest, hugest confession of all. I want to name my baby Jace if its a boy. Like, its going to happen. I don't even care that Jenelle used it. I like it that much. Flame away.

I have to admit I know who your referring to when you say Jenelle... and for that I am ashamed. 

Into+the+Kitty

Ok since this is flame free... I never want a boy, and will be very depressed if I have one. I am big on gender neutral and gender ambiguity for babies and children. Am I fine dressing my daughter in boys' pajamas? Hell yes. Would I dress my son in pink? I don't know. I am the worst feminist in the world.

Also the majority of people thought we were going to have a boy, and I was so relieved that they were wrong.

I'm on the July bmb and don't find it that great. Some of the regs drive me crazy... I want to punch them!!

The July '13 BMB is awful, just awful. My BMB tried to play with them but they just got all butt hurt for the most part.

My FFFC is that I got so frustrated with H last night that I threw his pacifier across the room. Like a toddler.

Ok then I feel better lol. I loved it for the week I was on it. Guess I jut need to move on

Oh, sorry hon, I didn't make the connection. What BMB are you on now?

I'm on Oct. I didn't dive in this time like I did last time, so its probably my fault. But it's all redundant and cliquey, which is probably normal. And too many posts about what's allowed to be posted lol

I'm an October mamma too. I hope all the first tri stuff gets out of people's systems fast. I only post a lot because I am shooting for silver status by the end of this pregnancy.

I dress my daughter in boy pajamas all the time.  The monster ones are so cute.  And I have a pair of pirate pjs as well.  I'm even thinking of getting her some cute polo shirts.

Well hello! I hope you didn't take it personally. It's not the people I don't like, just the board. It probably has alot to do with being mobile so I can't remember anyone. I need siggys. I need to get back on my iPad.

Of course not! It's all good!

I prefer the "boy" style pajamas. I like animals for baby clothes, and I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate (is that enough yet for you guys to get the point?) sexualized animals with long eyelashes and big lips. I mean, I still get a couple of them that are on the "less awful" side of the scale, but they make me so angry I get stabby.
