  Here is mine. I'm so irritated that my 21 month old wants to get serious about potty training. She has been flirting with the idea since she was 18 months but I kept trying to discourage her because I knew I wouldn't have the time to keep up with her once the baby was born. I figured I could dive in when she turned 2.
  
  But in the past week she has decided not to pee or poop in diapers. While this sounds great, in reality it means she undresses and rips her diapers off. She usually makes it to her potty chair or the toilet in time but the kid cant be trusted with being in the bathroom alone. With nursing the baby, I can't jump up and supervisor as easy.
  
  Why couldn't she wait 3 more months?!

  I did the same thing when DD1 was 6 weeks old. I have the picture to prove it. Obviously, I see nothing flame worthy.

  I totally asked for an extra bottle of that epifoam numbing spray at the hospital just so I can use it whenever I do decide to DTD again. I'll report back if it works and/or makes for good lube.

  Dd is 3 weeks today. Her cord fell off a week ago or so. We just gave her a real bath for the first time last night.

  DD2 is 5 weeks old and has had three baths since birth. Newborn just dont get dirty enough to warrant frequent baths. However, she does seem to like them. I should do them more.

  Mine is 4 weeks, cord came off around 10 days. Still no full bath yet.
  
  Her belly doesn't look like it's healed yet, though, and we're paranoid.

  We cloth diaper and dh thinks it's gross to put the poo diapers right in the washer. He thinks they need to be pre-rinsed in the utility sink. I don't have the time for that shit. I dump them in the washer, run a rinse cycle, then run a wash cycle. I just tell dh I did it his way. I don't know why he believes me. I'd need two free hands to rinse them in the sink. I'm almost always holding a fussy baby, so he should know I've only got one hand available for the laundry.

  There are some days I think I hate my DS lately. He is deft going through the terrible two's plus having the baby has pushed him over the edge. He was always such a sweet good kid and it's like the past two months demon spawn has replaced him. He doesn't listen AT ALL. The moment I start feeding S he does the most random bad things he knows he shouldn't do. I know he's doing it because if everything being overwhelming and he's processing it all. Sometimes I just can't stand him now and it makes me sad. It would help if my DH was home more often the past few weeks he's been working 12 hr or more days. My Mom came and stayed last night to help out and it was sooooo much better thank goodness.

  I feel like I have a lot today. But now I can't remember them. 

  
  

  Here is one lame one... 

  
  

  This morning when making my coffee I realized I was out of cream for my coffee. I really, really like cream in my coffee. I was thisclose to put some freshly pumped breast milk in there. At the last minute I backed out and put regular milk in there. I am regretting my choice though, because my breast milk is sweet and yummy. (I only tried one super tiny sip once)

  My SIL was due Dec. 12 but had her baby 6 weeks early, so we hadn't bought her any gifts yet. I spent a few hundred dollars on stuff off of her (3) registries (NOTHING was bought off of them). I told her it was all being shipped separately but I'd bring it over as in came in (was being delivered to my house since she had a c-section I didn't want to make her have to answer the door for every delivery). When she asks what we got her, DH told her (again- all stuff off of her registries so if she put it there she wanted/needed it.....?) and she proceeded to say she didn't need any of it. OK, so I am returning it all and giving her a gift card-- NOT in the amount that we spent because she was so rude and ungrateful about the items we had gotten her (DH picked them out- he was trying to pick out the things on her registry that he thought were most important since she has nothing at this point.). Flame away.

  What a little bitch. You should just give her a card, no gift card.

  I made a coffee cake on Tuesday for a friend who had a baby just before me as she had made us dinner and I felt like I should reciprocate the best I could. Anyway, it smelled like heaven and I tried so hard but I had to have a piece. I figured I could cut it up into pieces and bring it to her in Tupperware or something.....
  
  There's one piece left this morning. Guess ill be making another coffee cake today.

  @Lee81, your husband is right...and that's why I don't CD. Ain't nobody got time for that shit! Also, your washer is not built to clean a pile of feces out of a diaper. You need to pre rinse them.

  I'm seriously thinking of taking a break from TB. All you girls talk about or post about pertains to BFing. It bores me. Even when it's a thread that has nothing to do with BFing...someone will still slip in something about BFing. I get that it's all consuming and whatnot, but for those of us who cannot or do not BF...it's like enough. That is all.

  My MIL is coming over today at 4, DH will still be at work and I hate the thought of having to entertain her alone. She lives 10 minutes away and has only met LO once (her choice), however she is all about wanting pics and bragging to her friends, and posting on FB about the baby. I know it's important for LO to see her but I really want to call her and make some shit up about LO being sick or something so I can stay in my sweat pants and not have to deal with her annoying ass. Ugh.

  You don't need to prerinse diapers until lo starts solids. I toss my cd in the washer to do a rinse before the wash. Every few washes, I clean the machine. I have to do that anyway.
  
  I was relieved that others are having problems with diaper rashes. I felt like a bad parent since Jo has a yeast diaper rash. I won't use the word failure after yesterday's uo.

  I took a long break towards the end of 1st trimester because too many posts turned me into a Nervous Nelly about my own pregnancy. I started worrying about everything and I just couldn't.

  This is why I didn't really actively bump until 2nd-tri.

  @Amjoy25 I feel like the rinse cycle on the washer does a good enough job clearing out the poo. I'll change my strategy once she starts solid food. From the reading I did on cleaning cloth diapers, the seems to be how most do it. If a bunch of the other cloth diaper moms come in here and tell me I'm being gross, I might change my mind.

  I throw mine right in the wash and just add a pre-rinse cycle. Our washer is brand new and amazing. Also it prompts you to do a self clean after so many loads anyways.

  @lee81 that is the consensus of the cd board. Once the kid starts solids you will need to change your routine. It's hardly different than if the kid has poo explosion and you wash their outfit.

  I am sick of myself and my obsession over pumping/BFing so you can count me as one that won't be discussing it again for a long while, if ever again.
  
  I have not missed sex that much and I feel bad because H has been counting down the 6 weeks, which ended yesterday. I'd rather sleep.

  That's cool. He likes when people agree with him I'll be honest, I don't know why it doesn't bother me. I tend to be a bit of a germophobe, so poo in the washer seems like something that would normally bother me. For whatever reason, in this case I'm okay with it.

  I secretly laughed to myself when my BF called me at work freaking cause DS had been crying for hours & he was so tired & couldn't get him to stop. He used to come home from work & tell me I was getting worked up over nothing when it happened to me when I was on maternity leave.
  Of course I felt bad for DS cause he just wanted his mommy which was proven when he put him in the car & brought him to my work & he stopped crying.

  We went to take pictures of LO and after we got home I went to get him and he wasn't strapped in his car seat. My heart dropped into my stomach it must of been a 20 minute ride. When we put him back into his car seat we didn't strap him in. DH forgot and just put him in the back seat. I feel so bad about that one, every horrible senerio played through my head. I triple check him before leaving anywhere now.

  I did this once, too!  I remembered about 5 minutes into the trip, so we pulled over to buckle her in.  I felt so bad!  The look of horror from DH didn't help how bad I felt, either.  

  yep, did it once too. Drove a few blocks and then saw her in the mirror and pulled over,

  @Lee81, Bf poo is water soluble. No need to rinse until you start solids. Just keep it up if you are ebf. However, if ff, I think you need to rinse.

  No formula. Ebf. I tried to explain that to dh but he didn't want to hear that the internet knows more than he does about something it was easier to just say okay honey to avoid the argument. What he doesn't know won't hurt him.
