    So after our random drive by I have to admit that I too have yet to buy diapers since DS was born.  We bought 2 or 3 boxes in preparation and then we were gifted with a lot.  I should have enough left to last till we hit six months.  I am not complaining by any means that I have to buy them because that would be stupid but I am feeling pretty lucky that we have made it this far.

    Same. We still have 6 boxes, and 3 small packs. I've had to exchange sizes but haven't had to buy any either. I realize what a blessing it is.

  • DH was getting DS out of his car seat yesterday when we got home and my left hand was pushing back the car seat cover, and between my hand being in the way and DS's head being high because he was being lifted out, my ring scratched his head.  I think I cried longer than he did, but I felt terrible.

    Between the diapers and breastfeeding, we hardly have spent any money on necessities.  I also have enough baby wash to last till he is 18.  This is why DS's closest is ridiculous.  I spend my diaper money on new outfits that he "needs".

    I hate getting or asking for help... Not because I don't want to take a advantage but because it's not going to get done the way I want anyway. I'll just go back and redo it so why waste the time. Also other people are slow or so it seems.

    IMO if your going to help someone do it their way unless they say otherwise.
    I understand this, to a point for sure. But this way of thinking is one of the main reasons my mother and I barely get along. If I don't do things her way, to the tee, I'm doing it wrong and I've now become just a huge pain in her ass. Really puts a damper on the ol' mother/daughter bond.

    This is us, too.  We only give LO 1-2 baths a week so we are still using the baby wash the hospital gave us.

  • I was legit mad at DH for not wanting to have sex last night
  • @bendicott7. I'm sorry that happened! It's the WORST when you cause something bad to happen. I went to lay LO down on my husbands chest a few weeks ago, and he was adjusting himself and I went to put him down... well they head butted each other. I felt SO awful :(

  • I'm frustrated because the baby went from waking up one time per night to waking up 3–4 over the last 2 weeks. He's hardly eating during the day, because he's getting all of his calories at night. DH is helping by getting up for at least one feeding, which is awesome, but when I'm upset and crying out of exhaustion & frustration, he thinks he's helping me feel better by telling me that I'm overreacting and that other people have it way worse, and that we just need to relax.
    I know he is trying to help, but I wish he would just fucking agree with me and shut up! Ugh, I'm tired. Don't mess with me today apparently.
  • Add me to the diaper stash list.. I feel very blessed and lucky. My confession? LO had a major blowout yesterday and instead of attempting to clean his onesie, I just threw it in the trash with the diaper.
    DB cut LO out of an outfit a few weeks ago and threw it away. #-o
    I have to ask, why did he cut her out?

    I'm guessing to avoid lifting it over her head? I thought of a confession yesterday, got all excited about having something to contribute, then forgot my confession. The whole thing is just sad.
  • I confess I have been a dirty lurker lately. Since I work from home a few days a week and take care of LO I don't get much done and then am crazy busy when I'm in the office... Which was my usual bump time.

    LO was born on September 1st so we are tardy to the party for everything. I use your posts to see what to look forward to... Or not. We currently just started the 4 month sleep regression. I was naive and thought it would skip us since she has been STTN for a while but no such luck. At least I was warned.

    I will make an effort to contribute more again. Thanks for all the warnings, info, and laughs ladies.

    This one may get me flamed. I get a little nutty when people post on specific day posts (bitchfest, tmi, etc) later on in the week. It's one thing to reply to something someone said or getting a post to a certain number of pages, but just randomly posting on tmi on Friday (example) makes me twitch.

    Eta: gif fail
    Omg I was gonna post the same thing last week! I'm right there with you on this!
  • I really want to give Caroline avocado today for several reasons, the most flame-able one being bc my DH is at work and wouldn't see her first food. He's been such an ass latey and hasn't helped at all at night during the 4 mo wakeful and last night he threw out an entre bottle of freshly pumped milk. He's been excited about her starting solids but, IMO, you don't get to experience only the good; he has to put in the time at night, too. I wish I had the balls to give it to w/o him here but I won't :(

    I had to cut K out of a onesie a few months ago. It was just so much poop that it would have gotten all up in her hair. It was sad... That was her first time wearing it and it was cute.

  • We haven't had to buy diapers yet either but I would really like to try out CDing bc of all the diapers LO goes through and that's just from one baby!

    My FFFC I hid a bag of Hershey's Bliss with the toffee and almond bits from my husband and I ate the entire bag in 3 days. 3 days! And I didn't want him to have any lol!

    Men can be so insensitive. Sorry. I am in the same boat right now with LO. I miss my easy going sleeping beauty.

    Hang in there. Throat punch that DH of yours if needed. :)

  • @blondiebia21 I ugly cried on Christmas Eve morning because there was no hot water and I just wanted a shower. I tried taking one anyway and couldn't even finish shampooing my hair the water was so cold (it was -11 outside). It was bad. I feel your pain re: feeling pathetisad.
  • This is selfish, but I'm hoping LO's gastro tells me it's okay to cut out her 3am feeding. DH and I are exhausted and LO isn't a fan of being woken up. I know she needs more calories, but I would love more sleep. I also want to be given the okay to start solids. I said I would wait til six months, but she's definitely showing an interest.

    Not really a confession, but I'm sad we didn't continue the "Ask Me Anything" thread. I thought it was a good way to GTKY.

  • DH and I decided long ago that we would not bed share (nothing against it, just not smart for us).  While we were on vacation it ended up being the only way we could get LO to sleep.  So we said for the week we needed to do what we could to survive, but as soon as we got home it was back to the crib for him.  I may have gotten caught by DH this morning with a baby in bed next to me.  Maybe.  

    (please note: I have NOTHING against bed sharing, this confession is NOT about bed sharing at all, but rather saying you will do one thing and not following through with it.) 
    I used to say the same thing.  It's been a month since DS has been in our bed (previously in the rnp), and I don't foresee it ending any time soon, lol.

    I spend clothes money on diapers.  My sister has bought me so many clothes that along with other gifts, I haven't NEEDED to buy her any.  of course there have been things too cute to pass up, but they were all wants.
