How old are you? What did you want to be when you were little? Are you going to have any more children?
I am 28, will be 29 in November. I wanted to be a marine biologist, but I suck at science lol. There are days that i want one more, but then I have my moments that I love just having my two girls. We will see!
Do you swaddle or did you ever? And if you stopped how did you do it?
Personally I SUCK at swaddling. No joke. Even the dummy swaddling blankets. I can't do them. So my girls never really were swaddled except for in the hospital.
Why do babies get fussy when the person holding them sits down?
My guess is they like the motion of moving around that they can't get when their mom/dad/whoever is sitting down. I think also the change of scenery as their caretaker walks around is soothing to them.
How did you and dh meet? What do you do for a living? lol nbr questions
When I was 19 and DH was 17 he was best friends with my cousin. Apparently he had a huge crush on me back then. Anyway three years ago in May he came back from his 4 year contract with the Marines and we started talking. It just kinda worked!
I am a daycare provider...losing my hair slowly lol.
What do I do with her all day as to not want to kill myself before my maternity leave ends in TWO MONTHS??
how do I get her to not hate her stroller and carseat?
PLease solve all of my kid problems!
"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies. God damn it, you've got to be kind."

When do you find the time to eat yourself? My DD is only a little over 2 weeks old. I'm feeding her every 4 hours, each feeding takes between 30-45 minutes. (She's a dawdler.) Add to that the diaper changes, the spit up messes, the trying-to-put-her-down-for-a-nap time, and I just never seem to have time to eat!
If you had to guess, how much do you think 5 packs of 4 (20 labels) of those inchbug rubber labels are with first and last name on them, plus the extra charge for the flower I just had to add.
how do I get my baby to stop waking up at 5 AM? Have you tried giving her a nap a little later in the day, even if it is 30 minutes just so she goes to bed a little later at night?
What do I do with her all day as to not want to kill myself before my maternity leave ends in TWO MONTHS?? You don't have to entertain all the time. Kelsey spends a lot of time on the floor playing while I play with other kids or get things done around the house. I remember maternity leave with Teagan...it felt sooooo long.
how do I get her to not hate her stroller and carseat? Hmmm...does her car seat have anything hanging from the bar that she can look at/play with? Maybe talking to her while she is in the stroller would help?
PLease solve all of my kid problems! I hope I have helped at least a little bit!

How do you do it?! Especially with TWO LOs!
When I was BFing Kelsey I would usually have some crackers or chips or something that I could munch on one-handed right next to me. I seriously lived off anything that was quick to make and not too messy. I also learned that when she was in the stage of not wanting to be put down, even when sleeping, that I could cross my leg and rest my foot on my knee and then lay her in my lap, and then I could eat that way. I remember when Teagan was a baby, DH and I NEVER ate at the same time. It was tough. this time around has been a lot easier. When Kelsey was about 6 weeks old we would put her in the high chair and have her sit with us at the dinner table.
The second one seems to have been a lot easier for me this time around lol.
You are doing great though...you are meeting her needs and that's the most important thing.

Well duh you have to add the flower...it's just too cute! Hmm...I would guess $30. Am I right?

Sadly no. It was more than double your guess. waste.of.money.on.my.part. Whoops! I think they tricked me.
