A couple weeks ago I went outlet shopping and bought a new Kate Spade diaper bag. In my defense, it was an additional 50% off and super cute, but I certainly don't need it. Its still sitting in the bag untouched because I was considering returning it, but now its past the 14 day return limit. Whoops, guess I'll have to keep it Wink

this week i used LO as an excuse not to call back and hang out with a friend. i texted her that he was a fuss bucket and that i didn't want to bring him over for a visit. he was being absolutely adorable and very happy. she's just a drama queen and life to her is always awful...i just didn't want to put up with it.

i found out i'm getting a nephew in august and i'm making up excuses to go shopping. where do you set a limit on your first niece or nephew? I haven't found it yet. i will seriously be bringing this child tubs full of clothes and toys! i'm also chomping at the bit to unload garbage bags full of ds's clothes on them!

ds is playing in his pack n play so well right now that i'm not turning around to look at him. if i do, i know he'll want out!

I desperately need to go grocery shopping, but I really don't feel like hauling Kel out and about again today, so I am considering just ordering a massive takeout order to cover lunch and dinner.

I have a FB "friend" (more like not even an acquaintance) who has a LO a couple of weeks older than mine and I am so sick of her complaining on FB. Even when something is happy, she makes it sad. For example, her DS walked a little bit while holding onto some furniture but she wasn't happy about it, she was sad and put a sadface in her status because "he's just growing too fast.". My confession is that I can't bring myself to block or unfriend her because I want to find out what she's going to do next. She fed her son solids (chocolate! and a whole tub of greeen beans) when her son was a month old. She wrote "I know they say you shouldn't do it, but I don't care, he likes it!" I just can't look away.

I spent 135 dollars on Easter pictures of my DD. I went in thinking I would only spend 50, but I got hooked into a package and since the pictures were so cute, I couldn't resist. Now yesterday when I was cutting them up, I realized, I bought way too many and really regret my decision. *doh*

A few nights ago, we let DD cry herself back to sleep after she had been awake for like 2 hours in the middle of the night. I had nursed her, twice I think, DH had walked around with her, and there was nothing else to do. She cried for 25 minutes before she fell asleep, then slept the rest of the night. When she woke up in the morning babbling happily in her crib, my first thought was, "Thank God she's not damaged!!" That's my overly-concerned new mom confession...

I am letting B play with a magazine style paper coupon from Pizza Hut right now. She loves to crinkle it. I let her play with paper sometimes. I take it away once she gets a piece off and tries to eat it.

I've done that too! I think our ad was from "Car Mart" or something. I made sure she had her pacifier in so she wouldn't eat it and it kept her entertained for a while!

My BFF has a 2 week old baby and I judged her for supplementing with formula and using a pacifier for the first week. I would try to mention that if he needed to suckle on something, she should nurse to bring in her milk quicker instead of popping the pacifier in, but she wouldn't listen. I felt really bad for being a Judgey McJudgerson until yesterday when she told me she would only breastfeed for a maximum of 6 months because she thinks it's weird to nurse a "big baby". And added that no matter the age, the moment the baby pops a tooth, she'll never BF him again. Then she told me that she thinks it's strange that Kaylan is still nursing, and she would never go that long. I'm trying so hard not to flip my schmidt on her.

this makes me mad! l plan to nurse ds as long as i can. it's been 8 months and i don't see stopping any time soon. i'm sure i'll start getting the side eye very soon as i've heard a lot of comments lately. if they want to judge, let them. but i also think i'll suggest they read up on the benefits too. if you can't breastfeed or don't want to, that's fine, but i can't stand when someone judges! ick

I EBF and LO took a pacifier from the hospital from the day he was born. And he was a kick asz breastfeeder from day 1 :c) It's interesting that you comment on not wanting to be judged for something that is none of your friends business, while in the same paragraph judging her on something that is equally none of your business

I just paid for my lottery tickets with spare change.

I think this is an excellent idea. Unless you didn't get your lottery tickets yet. In which case, get going girl!

Yes

I'm running a half marathon on Sunday in Atlantic City. I have to pick up my race packet in the casinos tomorrow.

Since my husband has work, Piper's gonna play some slots with me.

Seriously? You judged her for this? For gods sake, BFing is hard enough, the last thing we need is our supposed "best friend forever" judging us for how we feed our children. Her child is two weeks old, cut her some slack.

As for the 6 month thing. In the beginning, I felt the same way. I think this is a common misgiving for someone who has never breastfed and isn't 100% comfortable with it. I think you grow into realizing how beautiful and wonderful and non-creepy it is. We have all these opinions and beliefs until it actually happens (6 months, first tooth...)

I think she's a new mom, and some things are still freaky/scary. We grow into them and our opinions evolve. I never met someone who breastfed for 6 full months that was still freaked out about "older babies" and teeth.

Breastfeeding may just not be for her, and she's trying to give herself an "out"

CABeachMom11 · March 2012

I went to bed w/out brushing my teeth last night. I was so tired, and really wanted someone to come brush them for me. I woke up in the morning and felt really really gross.

Also- I hate my DH's breath. He just got Invisalign and I know he cleans his trays like crazy but I still think it makes his breath smell funky and I have told him but there isnt a whole lot he can do about it so I just feel bad if I keep saying it. It isnt that bad, but Im sensitive to smells...

I had Invisalign and I work in dentistry. What's he cleaning his trays with?

KahlansMom · March 2012

Wow. Thanks to all the ladies who took "Flame Free" to heart. I said I didn't criticize her to her face, I was just judging her to myself. That's why it's called a CONFESSION. You ladies are so quick to judge. Thanks for understanding. Biznatches.

PinupMomma08 · March 2012

Oh the irony.

You're upset that we're judging you for judging your BEST FRIEND for something in the grand scheme of things is stupid.

Somehow the fact that you don't do it to people's faces makes you a better person?

I still wear my maternity gauchos from Old Navy. The non-maternity fit fine, but the maternity ones are so much nicer, and they have pockets.

Yes I felt the same way. I supplemented and gave a paci too, but I busted my a$$ to make BFing work the best I could and I judge the hell out of anyone who would question that.

FTR im terrified of when she gets teeth. -p

JennV514 · March 2012

Dude, I wear my maternity gauchos as well. I also wear my maternity Jean capris. They're comfy, and I don't care what happens to them. Whatevs. I will never understand judging another mother based off how, where, when, with what, for how long they feed their kids. I just can't see exerting that much energy onto someone else's life.

You can use the extras to make fun scrapbook pages! They won't go to waste!

Yes!!! That's a big reason he's got some funky breath.

Go out and get you some denture cleaner. (I use eferdent, but any of them work). Soak those bad boys in there, and they'll be crystal clear and non stinky. I soak them every day.

Everdent is dirt cheap (like $5 for 100 tablets).
