I may or may not hold a pillow over DHs head tonight! This man really knows how to disappoint as of lately. My talk with him yesterday apparently went in one ear and out the other. Next step is me bringing up counseling, I have no idea how else to go about things at this point .
Am I the only one still regularly using a swing? Someone keeps telling me that they keep reading that they should not be used once LO is "active"
LO still naps in his. I put him in asleep and buckle it tight. I make sure to watch and listen for him really good because when he wakes he sits up and we call it his roller coaster lol. I was supposed to break him from that habit last week oops
My goddaughter's mother was found dead in her bed this morning. She is only 38 and I have no idea what could have happened. Please pray for my goddaughter and her 3 siblings. My goddaughter is 14 and her dad is my best male friend. He has been a single dad since she was 6 months old but she is also close to her mom. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and prayers.
You guise. DD2 is wearing me out like whoa. When we first brought DS home we told her how little he was and she had to be careful. Sometimes she'd get excited and a reminder would be necessary, but she does pretty good. Then, he could roll, and she thought he was big enough to play her way. No. Another reminder, still small. Then, he could sit up. Still no. Every time he starts doing something that makes him seem "big" to her, she wants to play with him in her 3.5 year old way. Love that she loves him, but good grief it's exhausting. This was never an issue with DD1. But, she's a more laid back gentle kid to begin with. Lord help us all once he starts walking...
@tiffletons518 I can relate. My biggest problem though is him giving him toys that are too small or food that he can't eat yet. He tried to give him an almond the other day. Yikes! I do feel so incredibly lucky though that for as challenging as G is in so many toddler ways, he seems to love loving on his little bro in a gentle way. It doesn't fit with the rest of G's "seek and destroy" behaviors but I'll take it!
@calikat80 I'm lucky there. She's worse about leaving the small toys laying around than actually trying to give them to him. People used to ask how she does with him. I'd say, "You know how you see a really cute baby and you're like, 'oh I just want to squeeze you!', but you know not to because it's a baby? Well, it's like that, except I have to remind her not to squeeze him."
So thankful DH woke up with KJ and took her downstairs to feed her breakfast and play. I slept for about 30 more minutes and now I'm pumping and watching my church on TV. This is a nice beginning to the day.
Last night was the first time in about 3 weeks Gray STTN! Between 4 teeth coming in and a sinus infection I needed that. Looks like we will all be headed to church this morning ">
@tiffletons518 does she try and hug his head? That's what G does when he is hugging. It's a full on head smoosh. It's hard because everything g is doing in generally stuff we encourage: sharing food, sharing toys and helping other kids play, hugging, etc and now I have to be like, no, don't share with your brother! He's gotta be confused!
On an unrelated note I am so hung over from date night last night that I have crapped my brains out (thanks oatmeal stout) and feel incredibly dehydrated. The good part of that is I feel super skinny. Unhealthy, but skinny!
I sometimes wonder how DH keeps a job. He can't even follow simple one step instructions at home. He was just grounded from ever starting a load of laundry. Of course he's still allowed to fold it though. :P
FFSC: I'm so incredibly lopsided because my LO prefers to only nurse on one side and today I wanted to wear a nice shirt but it was so obvious, so instead of changing shirts.... I just stuffed the one side of my bra with a pair of socks .

@calikat80 Haha. No she doesn't hug his head. But, I know what you mean about confusing them though. Kids man...
And, ugh. Bummer about the dads. (day after drinking sh*ts). They know how to ruin a perfectly good Sunday.
Karma..... She got my hubby . This morning my hubby literally shot out of bed, went to the bathroom and promptly took a shower. He then immediately took his pjs downstairs to the laundry room and stayed down there. Later when I finally drug myself out of bed I asked what happened to his pj pants..... He sharted! OMG I died laughing and told him that's what he gets for being such an asshole to me these last few weeks. He agreed and has since apologized and is currently fixing my car window that has been broken for months, and he even went as far as getting me some thin mints (first ones of the season!). I'm a much happier woman today then I have been in a while.
Unintended consequence of getting your kid into The Beatles...singing "I get high with a little help from my friends" in front of your mil
The DJ at our wedding played "shots shots shots!" After each speech. I was having a mommy play date awhile back about a month after the wedding with someone I met through his school. I asked the boys if they wanted something to drink and DS1 said "shots shots shots!"
Aca-awkward!
Literally every time we get shots at the doc I sing that song. MH even sings it when he puts socks on the kids "socks socks socks"
We watched identity thief. I was cracking up. Also, my labor was easiest thing ever. They have me pitocin right after they inserted my epidural. I felt NOTHING. Labored from 11 am. Starting pushing at 5:45 and he was out at 6. I was real lucky...
I got my epidural early enough to not feel anything but I didn't have pitocin at all. But I did end up pushing for an hour and a half. It was easier than I thought it was going to be for me!
I wish we had watched something fun. I felt bad for DH cause he was so bored. Everyone was just waiting around. my dad drove a normal 4hr trip in 2hrs, was in labor til 4am, asked the nurse when she thought I would have the baby, she said 8am, then an hr later my dr decided to do a csection. It was a crazy/scary time.

We do. It is something that keeps her happy for 10 minutes so it's in our rotation of things to do.
@daisyduck40, try different cups. It took us a couple to find one that LO liked/ could use. We use the Playtex brand.
