    I'm actually enjoying the AE's on the board this week.  It's been pretty slow lately and they spice it up a little.  If people are bored enough to create AE's an start drama, more power to them. At least it's entertaining. 

     

    I agree!!! I have enjoyed the entertainment!!!

    My FFFC is that I should be at work but my mom (who is the babysitter) is out of town, my sis (who was supposed to watch him today) is sick and DH is taking the MAT. I am supposed to be working from home but what are we doing... Watching the Price is Right!!!

    My other is that I think it is stupid for everyone to get their panties in a wad about grammar on here. I am usually TOH or in a hurry when playing on here and do not have enough time to be grammatically correct. SORRY, NOT SORRY!!

    I hate washing bottles. So I bought 12. And I run the dishwasher every day and a half. There is usually only bottles in there, maybe 2 plates.
    This is me with pump parts. I have six sets so I once I use them all they take up the entire top rack of the dishwasher and then I run it with just one or two things on the bottom. We have 40 to 50 of the Medela 5oz bottles from all the pumped breast milk I took home from the hospital but only 5 nipple rings to go with them so I do periodically wash those by hand. I can't find nipple rings sold separately.

    wide nipples: https://www.amazon.com/Medela-Wide-Bottle-Collar/dp/B005EDBWOQ/ref=pd_bxgy_ba_img_z

    narrow nipples: https://www.amazon.com/Medela-Bottle-Ring-Narrow-Nipples/dp/B004WX55G0/ref=pd_sbs_ba_6

    Merry Christmas :)  

     

    Good to know! Thank you!

    Thats crazy, Alivia's left eyelid and cheek was covered in broken capillaries. All that is left is a small spot on the inside of her eyelid.  I never thought it could be from being stuck.

    I kinda hope my cousins wife ends up having her birth plans torn to shreds when she has kids. Because she is so high and mighty about natural childbirth. At every family function since Keith was born she tells me how I shouldn't have let the drs talk me into a csection, and how I shouldn't have gotten the epi. Forgive me but I think "you gotta have this c section or you and your baby will bleed to death." is pretty good persuasion. Who is she to make me feel guilty for doing what's best for me and my son?
    This really chaps my azz or frosts my cookies...right, Merricksmom? ;] I had a c section and I guarantee my almost ten pound turkey was not coming out on his own. He was in crooked and every time I contracted his heart went dangerously high. A c section is a tough choice to make and one that isn't made lightly. She will see when her time comes how much is out of your hands in childbirth.

     

    My little lady was crooked also, I had a fever, her heartrate was skyrocketing and I was in labor for 34 hours.  When people say "Oh, you chose a c-section?" I want to stab them in the eye with a rusty spoon.

    Don't they realize when the heart goes up line that it usually means they are in pain? At some point something has to give. Howell has a mark of broken capillaries above his right eye and cheekbone. My OB said it's most likely from where he was stuck. He wasn't going anywhere. ETA: I have no idea what heartgies is but my autocorrect sure does!

    I know I'm a newbie, but hell, why not join in on the FFFC fun...

    SO recently decided not to go to his parent's house on Christmas day.  I played it cool but totally did a happy dance in my head. 

    The other confession is that my hormones are still wacky 3 months after having DD, and I find it frustrating that it's 46 degrees outside and I'm sweating!  It was getting better the last couple of days so this morning I thought I could manage wearing a turtle neck to work.  Bad idea!

    I know I already had one but.. I need another. I took home two of the good hospital nose suckers from work. The packages had a couple pin pricks in them and they couldn't be used so why throw them away?

    If a friend on facebook has a birthday, I look at the "See Friendship" button on facebook to see if they ever wish a Happy Birthday back when it's my birthday.  If they never have, I don't write it on their board.  Petty, I know.

    We went to dinner with my MIL and she INSISTED that she wake ds and take him out of his car seat. She put him back in the car seat and closed his cover when the food came. DS slept through dinner and I never thought anything of it and didn't check on him. When I got home I realized she never strapped him back in. :( I drove all the way home with him just sitting unrestrained in his car seat. I failed as a mom. I should've double checked him.

     

    what amazes me the most is that your mil woke a sleeping baby and then w able to put him back when the food came! 

    Haha.  Yeah she wakes him up all the time because she doesn't want to lose precious time with him while he's sleeping.  It drives me CRAZY.  Fortunately, the droning noise from restaurants tends to lull him to sleep. 

    I also feel a little better that I'm not the only mom who's forgotten to strap in LO.

    I don't fear SIDS like 90% of you here.

    I'm with you on this.  DD is in her own room and it feels awesome to have her in there.  I'm not tiptoeing around her at night when I have to get up to pee and I'm no longer yelling at the dog for coming into our bedroom and having sneezing fits or bumping into her RNP.  We're all sleeping great. 

     I know SIDS exists, but I don't fear it.  It seems like an unnecessary worry to me.  I don't cover her up in blankets and I run a fan to circulate the air in her room.  The temp stays between 69-72 in her room and she only sleeps in a sleeper.  There's nothing else I can really do.

     

    I am right there with you ladies... I feel bad for women who are obsessed with the idea of their babies passing away from SIDS.  It must be exhausting to live that way.

    I don't want anyone to hold DS when we're home for Christmas. We're farther away so no one has really seen DS yet. We weren't able to go home for thanksgiving, so Christmas will be the first time almost everyone will meet him. I'm so used to it just being me, DH, and DS all day, every day that I'm already getting jealous of all the family that's going to be holding him.


    Good glory. As soon as someone else takes Kiddo, I'm like, "Seeya, I'm taking a nap." If someone holding him says he needs a diaper change, I hand them the diaper bag.
    I make cute babies.

    I can't speak for anybody else, but for me it definitely is. I'm toying with the idea of seeing a counselor about it, I feel like it takes away from my time with baby girl since my horrid brain is always shoving these awful fears in my face. I feel like I'm a really rational person normally, so this over-the-top anxiety is really f*cking with me. Ugh.

    (And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my most depressing FFFC ever! Ta-da, I'm a bummer!)

    It can be, but when I was 9, one of my mom's daycare kids died in his PNP in our house at 4 months old. We know why (he had multiple medical issues the parents didn't tell us about; he rolled onto his belly, had a seizure, and suffocated), but the picture of my dad attempting to resuscitate him until the paramedics got there, as well as the fear in the weeks afterwards of what would happen legally to my parents, is not one I will ever forget. I may joke about the AAP wanting our children to live in bubbles, but SIDS is something that scares me sh!tless. That's just how it is.

    My FFFC is that DH and I have a sex towel. And yes, we refer to this blue Walmart towel as our sex towel. I have an extremely tender cervix and bleed when we have sex... every single time. It really freaks me out more than DH, but we put the towel down so nothing gets on our sheets. Yes, I'm a bit OCD, and yes, my gyno knows about this it's part of my endometriosis, but I'm lucky that I have an understanding DH who doesn't get weirded out by me needing a towel underneath me to feel comfortable during sex.


    Our sex towel is purple!

    It sure saves on laundry...

    We use the Bundle Me in the car seat. That thing was expensive, so I'm not cutting it. A car seat cover wouldn't work half as well, it's freezing here in MI, my kid freaks out if he's not really warm, and he loves it. He's usually just in a long onesie and pants. I feel like everything isn't safe, for one reason or another..

    We use our Bundle Me when DS1 was a newborn and we're using it for DS2 right now too.  DH says pretty soon we'll have to put our LOs in bubbles and never let them out of our sights with all the dangers lurking lol.

    I didn't think you had to cut it though?  Our Bundle Me has a zipper so I could just use the back or just the front if I wanted to.

    My toddler watches too much TV...

    Conversation from this morning, I'm in bed nursing Miles, Wyatt comes running into my room:

    Wyatt: 'Mowning Mama!'

    Me: 'Good morning, baby'

    Wyatt: 'Treehouse?' (Kids TV channel)

    Me: 'Ugh, okay, I'll turn on treehouse after I'm done feeding the baby'

    Wyatt runs off, comes back a couple minutes later with both remotes

    Wyatt: 'Look, Mama! I find remoke! I find remoke for treehouse!'

    Me: 'Um, wow.' 

    omg Griff would die for Treehouse and Disney Jr lol.

     DH and I are having a date night tomorrow night for our Anniversary on Sunday.  I am beyond excited to get out of the house.  We haven't had a date night since DS was about 3 weeks old.  I am considering a quickie at home after dinner before picking DS up at my parents house haha.

    Do it! We did when DD was little and it was wonderful.

    I'm sorry you and your parents went through that.  That must've been traumatizing.  And that poor 4 month old =(.

    I was terrified of SIDS moreso with DS1, as a FTM and all.  I would creep into his room all the time to make sure he was breathing.  I don't know why but even now, hes almost 2 years old, I still make sure hes breathing before I shut his door.  Bad habits are hard to break lol.

    With DS2, I'm not as bad.  I think I'm more relaxed but SIDS is always in the back of my mind...way back there.

    I use mine too. DD loves to be warm and cozy and sometimes the heat in my car acts up. SIL and every parent in the daycare I used to work at used theirs.  Maybe I'm naive but I feel like they wouldn't keep selling so many of them if they were truly that unsafe to put in the seat.  

     

    We use it too and we love it! The layer of material between baby and back of the seat is so thin - seriously thinner than some sweaters! 

    FFFC -

    I've been eating sugar free cookies (quite a few more than I should). It hasn't affected LO poops - so I feel justified. :/

    SMOOCHES FOR ALL!!!
