Got my referral for the orthodontist for DD1 today. There's motivation to get in super great shape. Then I can start stripping to pay for braces. Le sigh.
@CL8badB - Please help me avoid research (googling). What is the point of a weighted straw?
So that no matter what angle (even upside down) your little one holds the cup they always get liquid when they drink! (the bottom is weighted and moves the straw)
@colieann31 Aw! I miss hyvee! I worked there in college and loved it!
My sister is working there part time right now and I love the fuel saver thing they have been doing. Right now I have 97¢ off per gallon!! I do all my shopping there now.
I can't get Bootylicious out of my head for the past 2 days. All thanks to this thread!!! I'm gonna lose it if I don't quit singing it (or H will lose it first )
Thanks for letting me pop in now and then. I read and keep all the tough situations and sicknesses in my prayers!
Now I'm going to vent. I'm so tired. Work all day, watch N and cook and bath and run in circles until bedtime, then as soon as bedtime is over I finish work, do dishes, sweep, laundry, pick up, exercise, and by then it's 9:30 at least. Then I get me-time until I shower and go to bed. If I want more than 30 min of me time I have to stay up late and get less sleep. I know it's not a rough life and I should be thankful but it's wearing me down!
@numbersgirl08 I soooo know what you mean. I write myself a daily to do list that includes "brush your teeth". I hate that I think this, but I want to take a vacation just for a day, away from responsibility
I know everyone in my family is going to start asking what to get M for her birthday soon. Is it tacky to have a wishlist on amazon? I would only tell people who ask about it, but I don't know if it's appropriate.
For every gift-giving holiday I send immediate family a want & need list...#noshame

I've been struggling with this too. My grandma has already started asking what to get Grayson and I have no idea what to tell her or other people when they ask. We aren't sending invites out until Friday so I'll be getting asked next week. I've been wanting to start an amazon wish list for him but didn't want to be tacky.
Starting a list isn't tacky. Only share it with people who ask. I keep one for myself and KJ. I think people appreciate knowing what to get when they want to give us something.
DH is complaining about the number of people on the guest list for KJ's party but when I ask him to point out people that should be left off he chickens out. We have a lot of friends and we rarely have any celebration where less than 50 people are invited. I know it sounds crazy but KJ's party is on July 4th so I figure many of the guests will be out of town anyway so the number of guests will be perfect...
@lioness13 I'm getting the opposite argument from MH. He's saying since I made such a big deal about Bradley's first birthday I have to do the same for Ty...
So I'm still really close with my Ex's family. His mom texted me today and asked me if I had any of Grayson's newborn clothes that I was willing to part with. Apparently my ex's step brothers girlfriend had a baby Sunday and he found out she was pregnant Sunday and the girlfriend knew for 3 weeks. He was 6.9 lbs. I just don't understand how you carry a baby for that long and don't know!!!

@NurseMommy13 I say do it, you only live once. What else do we work so hard everyday for, we deserve a night out (or 3). How is he in concert? I saw john fogerty a few years ago from the third row and he was AMAZING. cCR is one of my favourite bands so I'm pretty sure nothing could beat that experience for me.
I knew a girl who went into the ER with abdominal pain and walked out with a healthy baby girl...apparently she only gained 10 lbs and had no idea she was pregnant. I call bullshit on her too.

I've been invited to parties where the parents list the child's clothing size and likes/dislikes right on the invitation. I think that is kind of weird.

I call bullshit too. I'm going to drop clothes of with my ex's mom tomorrow so I'm going to get the full story. I just don't believe that she found out 3 weeks before she went into labor. I've never met this girl before though so who the hell knows.
Random but E almost ate one if my pearl earrings earlier after yanking it out of my ear. BTDT moms...Shen do they quit putting EVERYTHING in their mouths?
I'm sure it's different for all kids but ds2, at 3 yrs of age, still puts things in his mouth. It's not often but I do have to tell him every so often to take something out of his mouth.
I'm here. Just barely functioning and running solely on coffee. LO has decided that someone must have filled his crib with cacti and poisonous snakes because for about 4 hours (spread out in 2 chunks) he would only sleep on me in the glider. I'm so tired.
I just signed up for a baby wearing ballet class! So excited!
That sounds like so much fun!
I'm thinking of signing up for a baby wearing yoga class this Saturday. It's geared towards family so now I'm just trying to decide if I want to take my husband (since he's always around to help me do back carries).
What kind of carrier are you using? I think I might use my Ergo if I go alone and a wrap if DH goes.
I use a boba which is similar to an ergo. Have you tried getting into a back carry by yourself? It takes some practice but is completely doable!
I haven't pumped in 48 hours. My right boob is cooperating but lefty feels like it might explode which is weird because she was never the over achiever! I'm so excited to be done, I've been making up for lost time by drinking 2-3 cups of coffee a morning! ~O)
