Let's hear them. Any leftovers from Mother's Day?

cierravictoria · May 2014

My husband made me an awesome Mother's Day breakfast...and then left all the dishes for me to wash. And we don't have a dishwasher.

rockopera · May 2014

Today I am irrationally irritated by all the stuff that doesn't ever get done. Never fully finished the nursery. Need to clean out and put together the office. Haven't sent announcements because they need to be licked and I need to get stamps. Time just keeps getting away from me/us. I'm not pissed at anyone, just cranky because I can't stop focusing on this stuff and with M not wanting to sleep during the day unless he's on me, the list just grows. And grows. And grows.

hardlyluck · May 2014

I've been working from home for the last 6 weeks and today is my first day back in the office...the room I have to pump in doesn't have a lock on the door, so I'm sitting on the floor in front of it until they can have a lock installed...welcome back!!

Ok here goes my first one yey!

Went to park yesterday and some lady was gushing over DD1 saying how cute she was. No problem, thanks! But then it got creepy- she proceeded to KISS her hands!! Um hello!?!? SO gross- who does that!?!? I wiped her hands off with a wet ones right in front of said lady right afterwards. Sent her a message! And then we were on our way. Imagine if I had my newborn near her!! Gah!!

My FIL has been here for the weekend visiting. When LO started to get fussy yesterday and I knew she was getting hungry I said, "She's getting hungry." FIL picked her up from her play mat and tried to console her and she then started to cry. I had to literally grab LO from him. Hello!! You can't feed her!!
And I know my baby's hunger cues!! Thankfully he leaves tomorrow morning.

@babycaps Thanks. That has been working at night in the sleepsack. But I think I need a new A&A swaddle for the day, a regular muslin one. I have (and adore) my bamboo one, but it is so soft, he wiggles out of the swaddle pretty easily. At least he has been sleeping in the sling, I have some ability to get stuff done.

@rockopera‌ I had the same nowhere but on me sleep issue. What I did to fix was: big aiden and Anais swaddle, arms down. Bounce around with him on my chest, hold him until he's so asleep his body is limp, place him down very gently and leave a hand on his chest a few more minutes. Tight swaddle!! And warm.

I need to try this. Right now daytime naps are either on me or in her swing

My bitch: that I have to take my sleeping baby out of the ergo at the airport security check. Really!! And my shoes off too! But they can't help me do either of those things. Good thing I know to wear easy on/off shoes.
Oh and that I had to unpack all of my breastmilk and show it to them, have their dirty hands on to "test it'" but they completely missed my 33oz camelbak water bottle. Filled. To. The. Brim.

Did they taste it to "test it"?

) My mental image is the TSA passing around a bottle of pumped milk taking a swig!

Pankers · May 2014

My first one..... I got a Mother's Day card....that's it. Apart from that just like any other day, we watched F1 then football (soccer), then call his mum (FYI she's in the UK and it was Mother's Day in March), we were supposed to go for a walk.....and then my husband decided not to kiss me all day, LO had a puke fest yesterday and I never even made it into bed as I stayed up to pump, then DH brought her downstairs for me to deal with. Happy Mother's Day. Pity party for me, I know.

kimberpoo · May 2014

4 wweks in and my PP bleeding still hasn't let up

lo is still eating every. 2. hours. at night and doesn't have any longer stretches, but he has started eating more so his feedings take even longer since he is bf. sigh.
I need to relax about all the stuff that will happen next month (going back to work, leaving lo) and just enjoy the now. seriously brain, chill out and relax!!!!

tsmith312 · May 2014

DD has a fever again !!

We had my mom, stepdad , sister , bill and nephew over for Mother's Day dinner . Guess who did ALL the cleaning ?!?!?!

jwls84 · May 2014

I slept like shit last night, while E slept soundly almost for the whole night, figures right!
It is raining and we are stuck inside all day so my toddler is bored and wants to watch bubble guppies all.day.long and won't touch his toys.

myfriendscallmemeg · May 2014

Baby H is getting congested and has loud piggy breathing whenever she gets worked up.

jennybean80 · May 2014

I feel like I'm getting sick, and both babies are really stuffed up. I foresee shitty times ahead.

CactusGirl · May 2014

I'm so sick of the wind! I just want to hang out outside an enjoy the nice weather (temperature) before it gets too hot, but the wind ruins everything!

Also, both my friends that live here are OOT this entire week. Not sure how to fill up our time without playdates.

ProudMommy030614 · May 2014

Fucking love bugs!

kare_bear_12 · May 2014

I had the worst Mother's Day!!!! I am pissed that DH didn't take the time to even buy me a card. I was sooo hurt and upset. He tried making plans to go meet my brother and his wife at the mall, and so I could pick out my present....

Why the F*** would I want to pick out my own present, then we got into a huge fight which ended up me begging him to take me home cause I didn't want to be near him. He refused and made me go anyway.

He didn't get me a card on Sunday. Not even a f'ing card!!! I literally sat on the couch sunday afternoon and cried telling him how upset I was that he didn't get me a card or make the effort to get me a small gift. It was horrible and I am soo disappointed but cant tell my family because of course they would be pissed.

mfarmer0811 · May 2014

We went to my IL's for Mother's Day yesterday. FIL was drunk when we got there; I had to literally push him away because he was trying to poke and prod DS while he was sleeping in the Moby. Then he tried to put a dirty dish rag over his head...WTH dude?!

Then he was yelling at my MIL because he didn't have any beer to offer all the guys that were there. Umm...first of all, you're lit on whiskey, you don't need beer, and it's Mother's Day for goodness sake; don't yell at your wife!!

I'm sorry about that...I would have flipped a shit as well. A card is not difficult to do. Does he know what you expected? Sometimes men are just clueless and need a little urging/reminding. We shouldn't have to, but that's the way it is.

lalaith50 · May 2014

Mother's Day was ok. My MiL was actually awesome; but dh didn't really do anything. It even felt like less than nothing... After his family left, he took a two hour nap and then played on hid computer for the rest of the night. :-( And now I have another week stretching out before me with NOTHING to do except play with my little baby. (While fun, it gets boring after about, oh, half a day...)

CruiseGirl28 · May 2014

I have to pee. Isla is sleeping on me. I don't want to do anything to disturb her. She hasn't napped well today until now. I have family coming over in an hour, and I know she will be awake then. So I'm holding it for now.

LittlePigeon · May 2014

One of my friends still hasn't met DD. We work together and our building is less than 10 miles from my house so it isn't a distance issue. She has made plans to come twice and can cancelled, but no until after she was supposed to show up (was supposed to come over at 2pm and texted me at 9pm saying she was sorry she couldn't come). That is just rude.

It mostly is pissing me off because she is one of those high maintenance friends that never reciprocates. She always requires a lot of emotional support and attention, but never is really there when you need her. I stood in her wedding at 8 months pregnant (which was a 4 hour drive each way), but she hasn't met DD. But she has the time and energy to text me about her life drama.

I am pretty much done with friendship. I just needed to bitch.

twinlove314 · May 2014

Mine turned into a bit of a vent

I really wish I could be a sahm with the twins. I have a great job that allows me to being the twins with me, but, I feel like the only time I get to actually spend time with them is when I'm nursing. The family that I nanny for is having their second baby (their first is 4, and I've been with the family since he was 5 weeks old) in July. So starting in August, I'll have 3 infants and a 4 year old. I'm starting to wonder how I'll manage all of them

Also, my first mother's day was a bit of a crap shoot. DH got me gifts, and they were sweet and thoughtful, but we celebrated on Saturday with my family and DH had me open gifts there. That was fine, but on mother's day, he didn't even acknowledge that it was mothers day and spent most of the day in bed. I didn't expect much since we had already done gifts, but, wow....

KariB509 · May 2014

It's May 12 and it's 85 here today. Too hot, too early.

LoveMoose85 · May 2014

My LO hates being carried an any carrier! We have a really nice baby bjorn..she hates it. And then yesterday I spent money on a Moby hoping that might go better, Nope. I've tried putting her in them when she is sleepy, and she still just cries. I guess I just keep hoping maybe when she is older she will like them?

nkrone08 · May 2014

@bjd316‌ I'm sorry to hear that! Have you tried working with a recruiter? When I looked for my last job, I got absolutely nowhere until I started working with a recruiter and that is when I started landing interviews.

nkrone08 · May 2014

@bjd316‌ sometimes temp agencies also do permanent placements. I found a recruiter through a coworker that I was close with at the time. If I hadn't gotten the recommendation, I would've gone to LinkedIn. Recruiters are always posting job opportunities on there. Hope this helps. Good luck on the search!!

Ahutch428 · May 2014

1. I was checking out a kroger today, and the checkout girl was chatting away about some party to another girl. She didn't scan my card, and when I asked her about she said it was too late, and I would have to go to customer service. Of courser LO was starting to get fussy, so I just said nevermind.
2. I have thrush (thankfully Brooke doesn't have it)
3. While getting my prescription filled it started storming like crazy. The pharmacist told me I need a prescription card, not my insurance card. I tried to tell her I didn't have one while being hit in the face with hail. I ended up just paying cash.

Boo for sore boobs and paying unnecessary money!

amholley1 · May 2014

It's going to be over 100 F here this week. Gross. I am also with @laura8388, I'm on day 5 of bleeding from starting the pill.

saisongbird · May 2014

@CaseandDave - do you qualify for WIC?

My LO won't nap in the afternoons for more than 10 minutes at a stretch. This was frustrating but fine when she was giving us 7 hour stretches at night. But now she's back to the 3-4 hour stretches and mama is fucking TIRED.

DH came home tonight and decided that I must have had a shitty afternoon because I couldn't clean up the downstairs. Um, we were fine, but when you have a baby who won't nap no, I'm not going to be able to clean up or rinse out the bottles or take care of the shit that you think qualifies me as having had a bad afternoon. I was taking care of your daughter. You couldn't even fucking give her the last bottle tonight to see her.

Dude, she senses your stress. There's a REASON it took her over an hour to go down tonight instead of the usual 20-30 minutes.

Ahutch428 · May 2014

I was in the drive thru with the window down bc I was talking to the pharmacist

He is usually amazing with presents. And I wasn't expecting something extravagant, just an effort! He was like why should I get you a card that will be thrown away a few days later. Really!!??? He's such an ass!
