  • Fixing sizing! Anyway, here's my trashy baby with nothing on because I didn't bring anything for him.

  • Thanks, BB. I feel better now haha. That's amazing.

  • Shucks, you're all just saying that because I'm mopey. 

    He could be drunk. He is 37.5% Irish and  37.5% Eastern European so he has a love of alcohol in his blood. 

    ETA: The other 25% is Welsh. Are they known for drinking? Howell's Great Grandparents were non drinkers as he was a minister and she was married to a minister. I know nothing about Welsh culture except it was hard finding a Welsh name I liked .

    Then and now. How did my boy get so big? 

  • My nephew is ugly and looks like an alien baby.  He's a tiny thing - at 3 weeks old only weighing 6lbs 10oz.  I keep telling myself that once he fills out he'll be cuter, but I'm not holding my breath.

     

    My SIL (the baby's mom) is joining TB.  I told her how awesome it is.  She and BIL moved back to NC where he is stationed so she's all alone.  It's taking every ounce of my being not to stalk the May 2013 board to see if she made it.  And on the flip side, a part of me gets nervous to start a thread since I told her not have any part of her name in her username and that I regretted using mine.  So now she could probably easily know which posts are mine.  I truly think she'll respect my privacy and I'll respect hers but she's kind of immature and I wouldn't put it past her.

  • I've got a few today!
    First, I didn't answer the gtky thread because I'm mortified to admit how bad I am at housekeeping.
    Second, I spilled milk on my hands free pump bra on Wednesday and keep forgetting to wash it overnight. it smells sour. Hopefully I don't after using it.
    Third, I'm not at all excited for the wedding we're going to tomorrow. I'm annoyed DD wasn't invited because I'm sure there will be other kids there. The bride has a 6 yo and the groom has at least 3 nephews and nieces. I think with kids at weddings it should be all or none. Also I'm incredibly anxious to be gone from DD overnight.
  • Thought of another, in case you didn't see my Wal-Mart post, I changed DS on the bathroom floor on top of the shopping cart cover and changing pad because they don't have a changing table.

  • We don't have a schedule, at all. Gabe sleeps when he's tired and eats when he's hungry. If he's napping when I eat lunch, he doesn't get lunch. I don't keep track of things like when/what/how much Gabe eats, sleeps, pees or poops. I am baffled by my mommy friends who plan their whole lives around their kids "schedule" but feel totally dumb when people ask questions about Gabe's habits, because I have no actual straight answer.

  • I went to the doc on Monday and I was so afraid he was going to tell me I was pregnant that I nearly threw up. Then I was worried I was nauseous because I was pregnant. Luckily he tested me and it was negative.

    There is about zero chance I could have actually been pregnant. I have no idea why I convinced myself I could be.

  • There is nothing about the Diva Cup that is more disgusting than any other feminine hygiene product, good grief. Remember peri bottles post birth? You use the same thing to rinse DC's out when you empty them. I had "elevator from The Shining" periods before my sweet beloved Mirena, and the DC kicked every tampon's arse, plus it's not wasteful OR a monthly expense.

    I'm currently holding my 25 pound kid while he naps. He has a fever of 101 and I've tried putting him down twice with no success. If I have to hold him to nap today that's fine. I just hope the next nap happens on the couch so I can watch tv. I bought my first vibrator yesterday after our sex discussion on Wednesday. Oh and DH and I had sex twice this week. Thanks for the kick in the butt, girls.

    Good for you on both counts! I wish mine hadn't broke. I suppose it doesn't fall under the category of necessary spending. 

    I held Howie for a nap yesterday and he just did fine with his morning nap. I think it's fine when they don't feel well but I am terrible at consistency so don't ask me.

  • I don't feel comfortable talking about how much I'm struggling with DH being gone.  Wednesday was his birthday and yesterday was our anniversary so it's been a tough week with lots of tears.  I feel like when I say things it's a "whoa is me" post.  With other things going on with other Bumpies I feel like DH being overseas is cake.  He's making money and will be on unemployment when he gets home so he'll have an income even though is temporary.  My baby is healthy.  I feel like I have nothing worth being upset about because things could be worse.

     I feel like a total hypocrite for posting this.  Thank you for reading.

    Nah, no need to feel bad. They're not for everyone, I totally get it. It's silly for people to act like its a vagina leech or something, though. Seriously, it's no more labor intensive than a tampon, and it's your own blood and tissue you're leaking, not radioactive fish poop.

    And those of us going through our own issues are thankful we can give our dh's a hug at the end of a rough day. You have every right to feel the way you do, and none of us think you are being dramatic or "woe is me."

    It really annoys me when some moms judge me for being "so young". I don't think I'm that young to have had two kids. I'm 30 years old dammit. One day I'll say what I think and they won't like it so much.


    My mom had 4 kids by the time she was 24. People can suck it. Lol.

    Also my BFF is 30 and just had her 3rd baby. She's been married for 6 years and her oldest is 4. I do not see how that is "too young".

    I keep farting in my office and then spraying Static Guard to minimize the smell.  I wish my bebe was here so I could blame her.

    I still laugh every time I think of your "crop dusting" post. And your DH saying "sh!t, Isla, what crawled up your a$$ and died?!"

    I took batteries out of one of A's favorites toys because I needed them for one of my 'toys'. I felt a little bad when he tried to play with it and it wouldn't light up and sing. MOTY right here folks.

    Are you SURE it's not radioactive fish poop? Lol! I'm actually a little glad AF finally came. Over the next few months I'm going to use up my surplus of tampons and switch to the Diva Cup! Yay!

  • People on the board I post on swear by the Diva Cup.  I kind of want to try it.

    I think pads and tampons are just as "gross".  With these pp periods, tampons are basically useless to me.  I'm changing them every 15 minutes, it seems like, and the jumbo ones are so uncomfortable.

    I'm making Korean food tonight for dinner and I'm making these little Korean meat patties for S while H gets tofu patties and I'll eat a mixture of both. 

    Heres the kicker. I have the mind of a 8 year old.  In Korean they are ????, which basically means round meatballs. Now the word balls always makes me giggle, but how to pronounce this Korean word is this dong-guh-lang-ddeng.  That has the word dong in it. Extra giggles from me today while I make dinner!

    I just laughed SO HARD.

    Ok! I have another one! I wear day and night contacts. They are supposed to be removed every week. Sometimes mine stay in for like 3 months. This is really bad, but I only take them out when my eyeball is like, ready to fall out of my face. Or looks like I got punched in the eye.

    Me TOO!

  • I can only take PBS cartoons for so long.  We have Maury on in the background when we play from 11-1.  I find Maury very educational because it teaches DS some valuable lessons:

    1) Always wear a condom 

    2) If you have sex with someone, then yes the baby could be yours

    3) Don't lie because the lie detector test will get you every time

    Me three!!! My dr just wanted me to switch to a 'better' brand. I tried it for a week and am going back tomorrow to demand my old ones.  I've been wearing my glasses for a week because I can't stand these new contacts. I HATE my glasses.

    hahahaha - I would have laughed at the same thing.  I teach high school so if something inappropriate is said it is so hard not to laugh out loud.

    I turned 31 this past Monday. People think that's young to have kids? 

     

    Sweet. I'M YOUNG!

    Most of the time I think this too but when I get the "you're a baby" comments I want to throat punch that person. Our new pedi for example. When we first met she asked me how old I was when I had DD. I was a little surprised she even asked but I answered her and then she said I was just a baby. Biitch, how old am I "supposed" to be to have kids?

    I am the first person to champion sleep training, but I'm totally slacking with DS. It's just easier to give him a bottle at 2 am, and not risk him waking up DD.

    I know that's lazy and not fair to him, he needs to break this habit, but I'm struggling to stick with it.

    And by struggling I mean I'm not sticking with it at all. 

    I completely understand. It's so hard with another one. I'll let him cry it out if he wakes up between 9pm and 4am- for some reason DD won't wake up in that time. DS usually goes down between 6 and 7pm and if he wakes before a 6 hour stretch I make him CIO, if he's up after that stretch I go to him to nurse. If he wakes up anytime after 4am I go to him right away so he doesn't wake DD.  It sucks but it works and I know it won't last forever.

  • I'm 26 and people act like I'm a baby.  I say to each their own.  DH and I wanted to have babies sooner rather than later.  My aunt and uncle did everything they wanted to do just to the two of them and had babies later.

    Manda-Kay, why don't you summon Bump Jackie and request a name change? I've seen them done a lot recently and wanting to not have your real name shown is a legit reason.

    Or email community@thebump.com

    They changed mine for that reason. 

    Never even thought of that!  Now to decide what my new name shall be ... MrsMcAwesome?  Glitterfarts?  A12board4lyfe?

    I had lasik and love it!  So worth the money. Its amazing waking up in the morning and being able to see without worrying about my contacts.   I may need reading glasses sooner than expected but totally worth it in the meantime. Its been about 5 years and I don't regret it one tiny bit.

    Here's a good one. Last month AF was insane and I felt like I was going to bleed trough all my clothes. Cue in the tampon. Until last month, the only time I used tampons was to swim. Otherwise, it was pads all the time. I have no idea why I was so anti. I'm 33 and used my first non swimming tampon finally. It's like so much better.

    Here's one....I'm 33 and have never even TRIED to use a tampon. I have a hard time inserting (TMI?) anything into myself.

    How do you have sex?!? Or go to the gyno?

    Ditto right here.  TMI - I literally can't stick it up there.  Sex is painful.  I do breathing exercises during a pap smear.
