I keep hoping at some point some one will contradict that whole lazy inside baby=lazy outside baby, crazy inside baby=crazy outside baby thing.

Cause if it's true this kid is never going to sit still ever. And that kinda terrifies me.

My coworker has two sons. She said her oldest was so still inside, and he's not still at all now (in middle school). The youngest is in fifth grade and I taught him last year. He's the chillest kid I know and she said he NEVER sat still inside. So take heart! It's possible.

So you're saying DD is calm now? DS wasn't nearly as active in the womb as baby girl has been, but he can be quite the Tasmanian devil now so...

I went back and forth about posting this as its own discussion...

Anyway, My husband and I went and had our car seat safety check today at our local fire station. It was SO helpful. My husband wasn't originally going to go but I'm so glad he did. The firefighter checked the car seat of course but also went over basic car safety as well as things like how to adjust the chest straps as baby gets biggger. I would highly recommend FTMs all go!

Thanks for posting this! I'm planning to go once I get my carseat but it's a great reminder for all and a comfort to know that the firefighters were helpful and not annoyed. Not sure exactly why I thought they would be but you never know what kind of crazy they deal with. SOOOO, do they have windows of time when you go or is it just stop by whenever?

ETA: I think this should be a discussion itself... just my two cents.

@TallMomma29‌ - because of you, I convinced my husband to give my dog a baby carrot. Youve changed her entire life.

Every time I log in to TB, July 14, it's always a comfort to see that our Birth announcement thread is still a ghost town. Keep cooking babies!

I called assuming they would want an appt but they lady I talked to in our county said no. To just show up. So we did, haha rang a doorbell and everything. They also had a pre set time frame on the 4th Saturday of every month. I would recommend nit going during rush hour. We live in a pretty urban area and he warned us we may get interrupted and have to come back since they get called out to the big accidents. Luckily we didn't but something to keep in mind

What would you put in your internet radio search if you wanted music like the pianist at Nordstrom? We have a peppy pianist if that makes a difference.

I am also so pumped for ftm to hear their kids sing along with music. My daughter singing Blitzkrieg Bop made my day.

I had a dream that the baby came early, was a puppy, and had a hard time nursing. My nipples were weird, and the formula included chocolate/candy bits.

DAMMIT. I'm such a prick. Totally just commented on a birth story on the birth story thread. Deleted content but of course it's there forever. Sorry ladies, I have to chalk this up to pregnancy brain. Going back to bed.

@Lori_n_Lior‌ any possible way to delete that? Totally flame worthy and I'll take it but I don't want my clutter there!
Sorry @jensavicci‌, it definitely is too early for emotions and apparently also clear thinking.

Hey so I tried to search for the thread about labor buddies but couldn't find it. I didn't and don't exactly understand what it is or more what it entails but I want in if it's not too late. Help any one?

@almonica, so awesome!! My DH does not approve of giving the dogs human food but when he saw how excited they get about carrots he couldn't say no :-)

In other news, last night DH could feel LO's butt sticking out. He's felt random jabs and hiccups before but never discernible body parts... Suddenly he was like ":-o. There is actually a baby in there!" and was even tearing up about how excited he is to meet her. Until now, he mostly speaks of LO in terms of what she might be like when she is a teenager. I'm pretty sure he finally just realized she is going to be a baby first!

Same here! So relieved to see your GBCB or whatever that's called ;-)

My husband made me sloppy joes from scratch the other night. Even though we were already in bed. And he had to go to the shop to buy mince. He even roasted the buns slightly in the oven.

I just mentioned casually that I could go for a sloppy joe, and then he just went for it. It was pretty amazing.

ETA: Roasted? Toasted? Now I'm getting all my languages mixed up in my head.

DD had colic until she was about 12 weeks old and after that she has been a super easy kid. I mean she's busy because she's three. She's always busy really, but she's "good"* and just easy. She's never pitched a fit in a restaurant, she really doesn't throw fits period, picks up her toys, goes to bed when she's told, potty trained in less than 48 hours. Everything has been a breeze with her, so I am very nervous that this second one will be my into everything all over the place never sits still refuses to sleep wild thing. Obviously I will love this child just as much no matter the personality but I guess I just get anxious over the unknown. My mom says we should give ourselves more credit for our parenting, but even if that is true at least a part of the way DD behaves is because it's her personality.

*FTR I hate saying kids are just inherently good. Calm well behaved kids to do not always equal "good" and kids who make messes and act out aren't always "bad". I think that's a really damaging way to view kids as "good" and "bad".

I 100% agree. Car seat safety is my jam, yo.

DS is like this. He's really been an easy going kid. He's pretty much always happy, eats just about anything you put in front of him, bounces back quickly if he gets hurt, does what he's told more than I'd expect an almost 2 year old to do, etc... DH is convinced this kid is coming out with horns and a tail just to make up for how "easy" it's been so far.

SuperTinkerham · May 2014

SS-AW. They sent out super cute email save the dates for my work baby shower. Everyone knows I call my DH mister, and they get confused if I call him by his first name. The save the dates say "a little mister is on his way". *squeeee*

dobbyisfree · May 2014

You guys were right. Gifts arent expected at BILs engagement this weekend. How do I know this? He called us all to inform us the real engagement party is in a few weekends and not to bring gifts til then. Im gonna love this engagement/wedding. Im just going to focus on the fact that my kids gonna look amazing at the wedding. If its a boy, hes totally rocking suspenders.

Lol how exactly does one collect grass in their underwear? That's hilarious though.

this guy's parents were psychic. The guy who gave us an estimate for our tree removal, and is actually on the removal crew is named... wait for it...

Forrester.

Guyz, Lunesta is the best thing ever. OB gave me a prescription on Monday bc between the insomnia and RLS I've been only getting 4-5 hours of sleep per night. I finally took one last night and I got all the sleeps. I feel like a new woman.

BoraBoraBaby · May 2014

Just got home but sitting in my car stewing because I know I'll come inside to DH playing video games and I just don't have it in me to hear it. Plus I'm crying over nothing and I don't feel like explaining why my face is all red. Having a moment where I feel like I'm so over everything. I'm pouting because I don't want to do anything and apparently that includes getting out of my car. What a blobby mess.

I mean holy shit lady, you kind of blow my mind with how well you are handling everything that has been given to you this year. You are amazeballs, like, extra big balls amazeballs. ♥♥

Agreed!

likeanoldtimemovie · May 2014

@BoraBoraBaby‌ all the hugs!!

This is what I'm watching from my driveway... DH is playing catch with the kids and we let our horse out to eat all of the clover and weeds from the yard. Five years ago, I would've never imagined that this is how I would wait for dinner to be ready. I'm so glad I was wrong.

Thanks so much loves. What would I do without you guys?

jnnfrrose6 · May 2014

DH has been stressed about work. He's not happy with some of the people he works with and feels like he puts in way more effort then most everyone in his office (which is probably true). It impacts the bonuses he gets and he feels completely responsible for the family and that he needs to "make enough" for our family. He's bringing his stress home and has blown up at me the last two nights over nothing. I know he's just stressed and not sure what to do, but I don't know what to do either and it's not fair that he's taking it out on me. He left work early today because he was so frustrated with it and when I got home everything was fine with him, which honestly made me more nervous because I wasn't sure what might set him off. Then he starts rambling about finance and mortgages and things because house hunters is on and after I start glazing over at what he's trying to explain to me (for who knows what reason) he gets mad that I don't listen to him either. I just don't know what to do for him but I know it's not fair that he's taking it out on me either.

jensavicci · May 2014

@BoraBoraBaby‌

I'm all late but hugs hugs hugs! This is your time to let it out. Just remember, you're almost there! Madeleine (praying I spelt it right) is holding out for her mama. You're so strong and we're all here with you. We can cry, eat all the food and hate everyone together
