@SSS I can see if you're not breastfeeding how it would be hard to come on here all the time. You need two hands to bottle feed!

I hold her in the crook of my right arm, hold the cell phone with my right hand and the bottle in my left. I can read threads but not type too well.

1. I can't wait to take him there.
2. I'm sick of change sitting around everywhere, I never think to use it.

We already booked an early December trip! We LOVE Disney! It's just so darn expensive!

I don't give a shit either. My child is being well cared for. Her judgy sanctimommy bullshit needed to be called out though.

My FFFC is that I don't have a FFFC

I remember our trips to Disney being so exciting when I was a child living in NY. It makes me sad that Disney World won't be very special event for DD. We live 45 minutes from Orlando so that takes away from the excitement a little.

I spend most of my time laying in bed breastfeeding or with DS2 napping on me. I am trying to establish my supply and don't plan to do much until after the 6 week growth spurt.

So it is either watch TV, read on my Kindle or Bump and FB on my phone.

What else should I be doing?

Well I like to occupy my time by reading LO pages from the dictionary. Never too early to learn!
I am teaching DS2 classical piano. The bassoon is next and then the violin.

My confession, I have no idea what a bassoon is. I also read that as baboon. I was so confused as to how you teach someone the baboon. TGIF and DF will be home to help with LO while I sleep.

Even though LO is only 2 weeks old, I'm so ready for another one (kinda!) I had a very easy pregnancy and while labor may have sucked, the feeling after of holding my baby was the best feeling ever! I always wanted lots of kids, now I just need to build my bank account up lol!

Me too!! I'm ready for another LO!

I'm late to the party, had my 6 wk check up and I'm good to goooo! But SSS, my LO is literally attached to my boob all day which I'm fine with and I hold her a lot so it's easy to be on here. I'm a newly SAHM and I get things done around the house and then read and can only watch so much tv, and it's flipping cold so there's no way I'm taking LO out, so I hang out on here. Easy peasy!

I hope Justin Bieber gets deported.

sportsmomma · January 2014

@colerose I always leave LO in the car seat if they fall asleep for a quick nap and give me time to get something done quick

It has not been magical for me either.

And I definitely can't one handed bottle feed! I've tried. I suck. My carpal tunnel is terrible right now though so maybe that's why.

I am not looking forward to going back back to Cali Cali. I hate it and hate that we have to drive to parks and green space. There is no backyard to play in and street to walk on. Give me snow-you can keep the gorgeous and predictable weather.

No offense California people but I loathe being stationed here. Granted we are in the valley and not somewhere good...but still. The air quality is so horrid that we can't even go outside for a walk. It looks foggy...but it ain't fog. Why did the navy have to put the base here???

We're stationed in Monterey. It's foggy ALL the time, and even though it's actually fog and not dirty air it still sucks. Can't wait to be back on the east coast.

We're in Lemoore...it was our last choice behind Japan. Thanks big navy...

I have one of those lazy/slow nursers who will feed for 30 to 45 minutes at a time. I have nothing else to do but Bump it up! Lately I am bored because of the lack of posts, especially at night. Don't you ladies know that you're supposed to keep me entertained!?

I go back to work 1/29 and will be up all night on TB again with you

I'm watching a pirated copy of Frozen given to us by a friend. Breakin the law.

I have a feeling it's going to be a huge PITA to lug my pump to work. And it's going to annoy me to sit in my treatment room and pump. So my mom, who will be watching LO has offered to bring him to my spa twice a day so that I can nurse him. She lives about 20 minutes away. I told her that's ridiculous and a waste of gas. But I'm secretly thinking it's the best idea evarrrrr cause then I get to see LO twice a day when I go back!

That's great! I've had a lot of anxiety about pumping at work but it hasn't been too bad. I leave my pump in that room and the sink is right outside so that's helpful. I wish we could continue to nurse or I would probably have H do that. He brings her by at least a couple days a week for lunch bc I've really missed her since I went back. Seriously, that's really great of your Mom!

You'd have H nurse? Bravo!

My FFFC is that I feel terrible how much I have to yell at DS lately. We have left the house maybe three times since DD was born and the poor kid is going stir crazy, I get that, but he listens like a brick! He is constantly climbing over the baby gates to attack our printer or get at the pellet stove (obviously hot and dangerous). I have to constantly jump up while nursing to grab him. The dogs have to stay on the other side of the gate for their own safety because he tries riding them or ripping their tails off. He watches way more tv now because it's the only way I can get him to sit still for 5 seconds and I hate it. The living room looks like a bomb went off because of the amount of toys around to entertain him. I cant do anything around the house because I cant walk away from DD for a second because DS runs over and tries to pick her up. I feel like I'm failing him as a mother.

It's so tough, isn't it? I feel like my older son is so much harder than the baby a lot of the time, although things are finally getting better. DS1 is older than your son (he's four), but I've been having really good luck the last few weeks with a star chart. I write out the tasks/behaviors I want for him and he gets a star for doing each thing. Ours are typically getting dressed, brushing teeth, staying in bed, etc. If he gets all his stars for the day, he gets something from the "mystery box" (typically items from the dollar bin at Target or little race cars). It's helped us to avoid so much yelling and instead we focus on the positive things. I'm not sure whether your son would understand something like that yet? I've also been trying to take it easy on myself by going with the increase in TV and iPad time these last few weeks. Good luck.

That's a great idea but he wouldn't understand that concept yet. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll keel it filed in my memory for when he's older.

He really is a good boy but the climbing is ridiculous! He will literally climb the bookcases to the ceiling, he has no fear. It's impossible to completely babyproof (or DS proof) a room so I cannot leave him alone for a second. I can't wait for it to get warm out so we can go to the park where he can burn off his energy and I don't feel like a crazy person.

Lpegirl2013 · January 2014

There is breastmilk EVERWHERE and IDGAF! My opinion about whipping boobs out in public has completely changed since I've become a mom. Boobs are looked at whole different way now!

Oh and I think that every breast pump should come with more than one set of flanges, I'm sick of cleaning this shit every two hours!!

I'm pretty bored most days. We sit on the couch or in the rocker feeding or napping most of the time when DS is at school. I actually need more ideas for wasting time--this board is too slow!!

hjweber · January 2014

I'm feeling super stressed and overwhelmed lately. And I told OB I was feeling fine yesterday at my 6 week check up. L-)

I cried (with LO) as DH walked out the door to go to the gym today (then work after). LO is so much more fussy than DD1 ever was and it's really getting to me. Plus, our bout with RSV and then my kidney stone just threw me all off.

I got the green light for all normal activity at my check up yesterday and instead of thinking about sex, I'm so excited to start going to the gym. I told DH I'm going to the gym tomorrow and that he can get used to me taking some time for myself. I just feel he's so selfish and doesn't acknowledge that I'm cooped up 7 days a week with two little ones. Twice this week, I had appointments that I went to by myself and secretly went to a local cafe afterwards and took an hour or so for myself to not do anything but drink my coffee and Bump. It was so nice and I want to do that multiple times a week (damn you $7 coffee!). I didn't even mention it to DH. Doctor's appointments just usually take a while and he didn't ask so I didn't say anything.

2010weddinggal · January 2014

I do not think some people on here need to have access to a computer

I hate california and I'm sorry always will ( We have to live here no money to move)

@skylight no you can have him back

I think everyone jumped down SSS thorat a little too much, could it have been said differently yes did she mean harm prob not but come on people we are all tired, prob wearing the same spit up shirt as yesterday and need a shower that last more then 5 mins.. And yes I'm white knighting and really do not give a fuck

Agreed. Home is not always where the Navy sends you. If you are in CA because you want to live in a gorgeous vacation destination part of the world where it's always sunny and nice, than it's a great place to be.

Whoa, whoa whoa, ladies....simmer. Snickers and simmer. Sorry. I thought I had enough "street cred" around here for you to know I'm not calling you "bad moms." (Though for those of you playing bingo.... Let me help: GBCB, this place is for support, and I feel bad for your DHs. Any winners?) I'm not on TB as much as I would like to be, and when I am, I'm sharing brief comments or love tits. Why? Because caring for my LO is constantly a two-handed job. I don't have more than a few moments do anything more. I personally have not figured out the mad one-handed mobile bumping skills that you guys seem to have. Maybe it's because I'm not breast-feeding, as many of you mentioned having a baby constantly on the boob. I don't know. In any case its mystifying to me.

You need to get your baby wearing on

the carrier is the only way I get anything done with a LO who hates being put down lately.

VerySurprised · January 2014

I love my baby, but it's making me crazy that I can not get a single thing done because she needs constant attention.

My 6 year old has been acting out, and I don't know what to do about it. I don't have the time or energy to give her more attention right now.

We are supposed to be moving next week, and I haven't even starting packing. I have no idea how I am supposed to pack when I'm not sleeping and I constantly have a baby on my "nibble" (my kids' word for nipple). And thinking about packing makes me want to cry.

I just picked C up from my parents' house and he fell asleep during the 10 min ride home. When we came inside instead of taking him out of his car seat I left him in there so I could heat up lunch and eat. I feel kinda guilty but I just wanted a quiet lunch

SSS when I'm BFing C I either have one or both hands free. His nursing sessions last anywhere from half hour to an hour so TB it is.

I did this to get the groceries from the car and put away. She slept long enough that I got to pee alone. It was refreshing.

margaerytyrell · January 2014

I'm so scared to have a toddler. I have no patience at all and I'm afraid I will constantly go off on my son. I can't stand my nephew because he's such a terrible kid.
One day at a time.....

amberpro · January 2014

I don't think SSS had the heart of a "sanctimommy" in her confession. I simply think she suffered from poorwordchoiceatosis. I think concern was strong and confused would more aptly fit there.

I confess we've watched a little too much Disney Junior this week (see above diagnosis). What can I say... The laundry was out of control.

People that hate on CA get on my nerves. I fucking love this state.
I'm sure if we lived in the shithole part we would be bummed too.

True. But don't say you hate CA. Just say you hate the shitty city you live in.

I do not like the place I live, but in general have not had good experiences in most places I've been, visited and stayed in California. Would rather be back east somewhere...my personal opinion. But I don't get to choose where I live, so here I sit...in California. I'm sure there are places you've been that you wouldn't want to live and would probably really not like if you were forced to live there.

edenkeever · January 2014

Looks like my FFFC is that I don't like living in California. Probably because I was born and raised in Alabama--like a lightyear away from here. Haha

ETA: the fact that I miss my family like crazy and hardly ever get to see them probably has a lot to do with my opinion. I would love to vacation in CA...just not live here.

@SSS, the part of your comment that everyone was so offended by was the word CONCERNED. Trust me, I creepy internet love you, but it doesn't matter who had said that, I would have been offended after all I've been through just trying to feed my daughter. It's okay though, I am sure I overreacted and will get over it soon.

I am legitimately concerned for SGs kids, if they even exist. (I just caught up on last week drama yesterday.). Who has time to troll?
What SG drama! Anyone know the thread name?

Guys be careful. She is like Bloody Mary you know what happens if you say her name 3x. She's likely to show up.

Lol. Looks like this is true today...
