LO has always been super strong and has been up on her hands and knees for close to a month now. My sister who has two kids asked yesterday if I tried to help show her how to crawl. I was like hell no, even though I am a FTM I'm in no rush for her to actually crawl. She's proven her strength, I'm good with That!
I have found that having a special needs child is liberating. It is like a free pass to do parent how I want since the rules are different. It is enjoyable to watch people back petal after they find out and they realized they have put their foot in their mouth.
I would never abuse the fact she does have a disabilty but it helps not feel judged by other people. I could give a flying fluck what people think about how I am raising DD. So I can do what I want since they have no experience in that department and it shuts them up. (I do treat her like I would any other child....with lots of hugs and kisses )
I JUST READ THE RED WEDDING SCENES IN A STORM OF SWORDS AND I AM SO FUCKING UPSET. :-O :-t %-( X_X ~X(
Its traumatizing. Its been hard moving on........I swear if anything happens to Jon Snow I will have a breakdown
Do you guys watch Games of Thrones at all or are you waiting till you finish the books? I was thinking about reading them...
My confession - I went to a Johnnie Walker tasting a couple of nights ago and had to use the bathroom. I HATE public bathrooms and HATE listening to other people pee or them listening to me pee. Anyhow, some girl followed me in, whatever, went to pee and I queefed, loudly. I was so fucking embarrassed I stayed in my stall until I heard her leave. Well, I thought she left, she didn't. Later on in the night, she was sitting around me and my friends and started talking to me and the other girls. I don't get embarrassed easily, but I just wanted to run away.... Le Sigh.

pgermain11 I started watching the show before I started reading the books. When I watched the Red Wedding I legit sat in silence in my living room for like a half hour. I am in the middle of the fourth book and amazon just delivered the Dance with Dragons. I love them. Cant wait for this next season to start!
Speaking of books. When i get books from the library to read to DD i make sure i get one from Walter the farting dog series. So many farts in that book.
I just bought a fritter the size of my head from the cafeteria.
And a chocolate sprinkles donut.
And I'm eating them both. They're sugary, greasy, fatty, and delicious.
Mmm! I also treated myself to a valentines day treat already today--chocolate croissant from Starbucks, yummmm....I also had chocolate fondue with my BFF during our wine date last night....and also possibly a smore with a "housemade marshmallow" at my lunch date with DH on Wednesday.....damn you delicious foods!! I just can't quit you, chocolate!

Yeah I was in shock for a while too. Really random but my friends just introduced me to Gay of Thrones. It's a hair dresser recapping the episodes and it's so hysterical! He does them after every episode! Check it out if you want a silly laugh!

I ate a Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage-pancake thing on a stick wrapped in three slices of Havarti. I am not even sorry. :P
That plus coffee = the breakfast of champion. DD got her breakfast on a stick too. DS tried the pancake but is not a fan. Though he did like our zucchini-egg "hash browns".
I spent over an hour at work yesterday making Lillie's valentine's to give to her "friends" at "school." Yeah, she's 7 months old and the recipients will mostly be babies but she needed to have some cute valentines. And I wasn't about to spend my own time at home doing that!

Marnie's baby talk is adorable, and I know that as a responsible parent, I should teach her to speak properly... but it is SO darn cute. We call medicine 'dub-dubs'. It's amazingly adorable.
(Her speech was delayed, so we found words for things that she could say, so we have a lot of baby talk words)
I just want to encourage the baby talk a liiiiitle bit longer. I'm a bad mother.
This troll started yesterday. The link is to the thread that got under my skin.
Ugh. I just want to know what is "wrong" with twins? I am a twin. My birth mother didn't get any prenatal care & ultimately decided she could not care for us. So this asshat OP in that thread can kiss my ass for being a douche.
FFFC #1: I have a bump boner for @joanna2004 I think she is badass and wish I was real-life friends with her!
FFFC #2: my sister is pregnant with her second. Yesterday she found out it was actually twins. I'm really excited for her, but my mom is already driving me crazy about it. She is acting like my sister cured cancer instead of having an extra egg fertilized. She called me 3 times yesterday to talk about the news. It's awesome and all, but no I'm not jealous (one new baby kicked my butt, hats off to you multiple moms!) and also as awesome as it is I'm not going to be more excited about her babies then my own. I love my mom but she always ruins stuff between my sister and me by overselling everything about her life to me. I think that's partly why I'm not as close to this sister as my other sister.
Also she said "now Jill finally gets to be first at something" wtf? Is it a contest?!
@Rmnam1 - I'm wtf-ing with you. wtf! Moms can be so weird.
Congrats on your sister's pregnancy - I agree with you. ONE BABY AT A TIME is hard enough!

You aren't a bad mom. We encourage Abby to use words. She has her own names for things & has issues with pronunciation of "proper" words. The point is she is communicating & trying. It's unique & works.
If you are a bad mom then I will sit next to you. Our kids are learning & will get there eventually.

I did the same thing last night. I filled little pails with cheerios and tied bows on them. Then I made little printed Valentines with a red heart on them made with Sully's foot prints. I'm setting myself up for future fail when I lack the time to do this kind of shit later.
I gave Sully squash last night, not pureed, just smooshed a bit. He loved it so much he was sitting there with his mouth wide open asking for more. I took that as "Oh God, he's CHOKING!" and pulled him out of the Bumbo and gave him a few hard whacks on the back. He wasn't, he's fine, and he let me know my releasing a nice puddle of drool on my hand and looking up at me like "WTF Mom?!" I defrosted some pureed carrots and gave up the squash for the night.
Totally trolly. She posted this link yesterday, but she will test next week and come back to let everyone know. Then suddenly today she thinks it's multiples. Yeesh.

Awwww, poor mommy and Sully. Solids are tough. I'm still regretting the banana choice of Mon\Tues. And bracing for the banana poop. Whenever it finally happens.
I was thinking about how embarrassing my UO was and so my confession is I now don't want to meet BIL this summer because, a) I will want to drink excessively to end the images in my head and, b) if I drink excessively I'm scared of what I might say... alternatively if I don't drink I will just feel awkward the whole time so yea, lose/lose/lose GAH (shoots off foot as alternative) (
Also, this time last year I was puking up pink heart-shaped pancakes.
I was late for a meeting with a student because I wanted to make Valentine's breakfast, and then the rushing around made it all come back up.
This year we forgot it was V-Day. Luke's breakfast did involve some strawberry-beet yogurt, so I guess we were still festive....

We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.
Rmnam1 I think you would be disappointed in me if you knew me IRL. I am not so much a badass as I am shy and quiet. I don't like much of anything and that includes people. I don't even say bad words. But boners are always good.
@mermomo5 exactly! She is by far my mom's favorite. She is the oldest but was the last to get married and start a family and my mom always acted like it was a huge deal (I don't know if she thought it wasn't going to happen?) my middle sister and I are really close and I think my mom always trying to "upsell" my older sister's life to me makes me not be as close to her.
Then by definition she's already done A LOT of things first. She was born first, had Christmas first, went to school first, drove first, graduated first... and on and on and on... you're mom's a butthead about this.
The worst baby/child book is Love You Forever. So bizarre!
Haha aw I loved that book as a kid! It is a little creepy though, I think even as a kid I remember thinking her snuggling her grown son and him carrying his Mom was weird.

The worst baby/child book is Love You Forever. So bizarre!
The lady drives a car with a ladder on it to climb into the son's house!! I know my future daughter in law wouldn't appreciate that kind of crazy.
It is bizarre. My first thought was Ew Ick not reading it again. But it came highly recommended so I tried to give it a couple of chances. After learning the back story, and hearing the author's melody for the song, I'm liking it more. And Isaac likes the repetitive clauses. And i know he isn't comprehending yet, but what's truly bizarre:he cries when we get to the mom being sick part every time.
I have found that having a special needs child is liberating. It is like a free pass to do parent how I want since the rules are different. It is enjoyable to watch people back petal after they find out and they realized they have put their foot in their mouth.
I would never abuse the fact she does have a disabilty but it helps not feel judged by other people. I could give a flying fluck what people think about how I am raising DD. So I can do what I want since they have no experience in that department and it shuts them up. (I do treat her like I would any other child....with lots of hugs and kisses )
I don't know what your child's special needs are, and I hope this comparison isn't offensive, but I find that having B in therapy is liberating too. I don't worry about milestones (ok, I do), and when people bring up milestones they think he should be hitting, I tell them he's in therapy and progressing nicely and that pretty much shuts them up and they get embarrassed.

DD has Down Syndrome so most if not all her milestones will be delayed. But yes this is exactly how I feel. She will get there in her own time. No one is going to make me feel bad that she is not doing what most babies are already doing. MRads
I have some more. Our office is currently being repainted. I have this really odd urge to run up against the wet paint and play with it.

DD1 reminded me that on this day last year, I gave her a card from LO asking her to be M's valentine. That's how I announced the pregnancy to her. She still has the card, it was an aww moment for me.
It said something like:
I'm still in mommy's tummy but I'll be here in July. Mom and dad said you're awesome so you deserve this box of chocolates. Can you teach me all the cool things you know? Etc. Etc.
