Re: The Randomest Thread
I would offer hugs, but I am not a hugger and I get the impression you aren't either. So...internet fist bump?

But MH is staying home! No crazy babysitters for us!

@farmboyswife So sorry things are so rough for you
Also, I also have concerns with childcare... my MIL is generally responsible but sometimes not so much. I didn't realize how much of a nervous nelly I'd be once I became a mom. THEN I started thinking about full time child care when I go back to work in September and I got super sad. Whoever watches my child will be, intentionally or not, instilling values in him... will be seeing milestones while I'm at work... like what if he takes his first steps at daycare?? What if he says his first word at daycare?? (when do they say their first word...?) I started thinking about this in the shower and started bawling.... ugh
It can't just be "over" just like that, can it?
I'm addicted to hummus.
It's a good thing I finally managed to work enough odd jobs for family that I can afford to start going to the gym every day. @_@ That, and I'm a human pacifier today.
Side note: I'm dreading this weekend. There's a surprise party for DH's grandma and allllll the ILs will be there. I'm still angry and want to be a jerk and not let them hold the baby, but I don't think DH would let me get away with it.
Mad as hell
I really wish I could fix whatever is upsetting her
Ugh sometimes i hate my body. But its regulating so i should get used to it.
Sorry, but not happening.
2) Yup. But at least it was better than last time when LO was 2 weeks old and tried to convince us to leave her alone in the house while everyone went outside to have tea.
My mom, however, is the baby whisperer. This is likely because I was the most colicky baby known to man and she had to learn some skillz. She never forgot them.....
My parents have had a little more experience as I have 2 nieces under 4 that they spend a lot of time with. My brother is also way more uptight about all the baby-raising rules and doesn't hesitate to call our parents out so they are very well-trained. My mom and I are also very similar in mannerisms and how we approach things with babies so that helps too.
My FIL is awkward with the baby, letting him flip a little too much. And handed him back quickly. But my MIL passed away right after we found out we were pregnant. I often imagine how irritating she would have been with her 30 year old advice. But she would have loved the hell out if every minute. I wish I could have been aggravated with everything she did or said.
My dad was more hands on than I thought. He even sang to him to try to calm him down. My mom was fine. And listened to me when I told her to back off or do something different. Unfortunately, with her health problems and medications, I can't leave her alone for long periods of time.
No one lives close, so we aren't missing out on the free babysitting. But I do wish things were different on a number of fronts.
No I never had to take them before it was a freak thing and I was told the same thing. My clot was found pretty early so I had along time on them, it wasn't so bad I got used to it. I would totes have another LO and go through it again but we have 3 and arent having anymore.
BLISS.
I need to start doing crunches or something. Which will be a breeze, what with all that free time I have.
Another ditto here! Hips are wider. It's hard to button my pants but they otherwise fit! I feel bad buying new clothes while were on one income right now though
My mother took J after I fed him this morning so that I could get work done, because I have this paper, bar applications are due, and then studying for the two finals I have next week. I've written a whole two pages in the last hour... while bumping and online shopping. I really should be working...
I honestly couldn't get it all done without my mom. As much as we don't get along, I'm SO grateful I have her to look after J whenever I need a minute. I don't know how you ladies do it without having help all day.
