Did WOAC and @thomas930‌ ever answer that inquiry about whether or not snail troll would be banned? Idk why it crossed my mind.

I wonder if they can find the IP address and see if it's the same as anyone's.. Let's get CSI with this ish.

thomas930 · May 2014

@mrscrcalli mods cant but bumpjackie could...not that it would be worth asking since she seems to have left all the mods in the dark about all the changes that have taken place since the social groups were added. We can't get answers for anything right now.

There was a really toxic AE on my old BMB who got outed that way when IPs were temporarily (and accidentally) visible after a big Bump maintenance.

My in laws are here. Someone help me. MIL can't just hold the baby quietly. She has to be talking in her face at full volume at all times. And repeats the same shit over and over again. In polish, my beautiful little girl. Over and over again. Even when baby is crying. I am trying really hard not to rock the boat but I want to say just stop talking and try shushing her or being quiet.

Eta and she keeps forgetting to wash her hands after she smokes but DH is upstairs and can't remind her.

Ugh my MIL is also polish and keeps saying the same few things to LO in polish. It annoys the hell out of me. She also calls her Fafufnic? Not polish but a made up word that sounds like something you'd call an animal. I told her not to call her that because I hATE random nicnames but she keeps doing it. At least I don't have the smoking issue, although I would just tell her to wash her hands, I don't hold back with that woman anymore and I feel like it's really helped our relationship!

Can someone fill me in on what happened with snail trail?

I'm jealous of all these pics of vicious flea bags with baby. My dog is a vicious flea bag (not really but not great with kids) so we have been taking things very slow with him and dd. he is being so good but I am still very guarded about having them interact closely. We will get there eventually.

We are the same way with our dog. He doesn't like kids but he is doing well with DS. Of course DS isn't at the crawling stage yet so the dog isn't really fazed. We worked with a personal dog trainer before LO was born and we tightly control the environment with the dog. I'm relieved he is doing so well.

For the most part I found the snail to be entertaining.... until they started to target specific people. Not cool.

Dill pickle and I had a nice afternoon on the porch. My little dude gets so relaxed when I take him out there

@deidremaria‌ I'm in love with this picture. You and your little man are such a beautiful pair. And of course! Josie, I'm sure, would love to be girly with you! Then she can go play superheroes with your son!

thomas930 · May 2014

@ColleenSwerb You're welcome. I didn't either so I double checked with the other mods and we are allowed to ban obvious trolls, especially if they are harassing other members.

KatieGummow · May 2014

Maybe snail will come out now that it's banned. We can throw it a TP party!

Thank you!!! A play date for Josie, Dylan and I sounds like the perfect Saturday afternoon.

I'm pretty sure all the snail did was harass swerb from day 1.

Awe that sucks

especially since Collens posts are 100% helpful ALL the time. That women is so freaking knowledgable!

MadBloom · May 2014

Just finished side nursing and after Penny spit out the nipple she promptly put her head on the boob and is now using it as a pillow. It's so cute that I'm tempted to let her stay. Now to trick her back into her crib....

This my dad minus the polish. He is always in her face - "Charlie! Over here, Charlie! I love you Charlie!" Over and over again, even when she's asleep. And texting me for pics 3 times per day. It's his first grandchild, so I try to be patient, but I wish he'd be more like my mom and just stare lovingly at her while she's friggin' sleeping. And FYI, dad, she's not responding to her name just yet.

MadBloom · May 2014

Totally missed all the most recent snail crap! Didn't know that it got that bad! That's brutal

I mostly just chalked it up someone having no life and tried to ignore it. I mean, to an extent that's what happens when you put yourself out there on the internet. But the last comment hit a little too close to home and honesty creeped me out. I've done a full FB overhaul and once I get on my computer this weekend I'm changing my screenname on here for a little more privacy. To what, I have no idea yet, but I gotta do it. I'm no perfect angel. I obviously hurt the troll in some way, at some time. But I don't hold grudges, so being "stalked" like that, for lack of a better term, is creepy to me.

The obsessiveness of it was really bugging the crap out of me. Good riddance.

thomas930 · May 2014

I apologize for not doing something about the snail earlier. I feel bad for not doing something sooner.

Emily041285 · May 2014

You know, I've been really struggling to feel that overwhelming bond to my daughter. To the point where I thought there was something wrong with me. I mean, who doesn't love their child from the beginning?

Well we are staying in this hotel tonight and against my better judgement didn't bring the pnp. Just the travel swing. DD threw a fit in about an hour ago, she didn't want to eat. She just wanted to snuggle. She laid on my chest and then next to me. We both dozed. And I finally felt it! I finally felt that bond I'd been missing!

Thanks for listening ladies, it's been rough for me lately and I feel like I might be turning a corner!

thomas930 · May 2014

@Emily041285 I'm so happy to hear. Its really hard to feel anything positive when you are so overwhelmed and in the throws of the cluster feeding, crying and trying to figure out this brand new human. It will continue to get eaiser, you're doing a great job!

KatieGummow · May 2014

@Emily041285‌ I am SO happy for you. Your post warmed my heart

I am so happy for you, momma!

KatieGummow · May 2014

I have a left "caked breast." It is awful. However, I discovered wetting a diaper and heating it for 45 seconds is the best heating pad ever! The gel stays warm for a while. Fx I can work this out, it makes me freak about my supply.

KatieGummow · May 2014

@honeyzoo‌ you're doing a great job!

@ColleenSwerb‌ I am so sorry you had to deal with that. It is not a good feeling. Snail is just a miserable person. She has to wake up and deal with herself every day and that is penance enough.

sking72 · May 2014

Oh my god, this pnp mobile is a life saver. I can finally put LO down and have her be content for more than ten seconds! I can get things done while SO isn't here half the week! I can pump! I can poop! I can make real food instead of just eating shredded wheat and canned pears! Life is good.

KatieGummow · May 2014

@celticlullaby‌ sorry to hear it happens to you often! But I am also glad I am not the only one. The first time it happened it pumped for like 15 min and got 5oz out of my right breast and like 5mL out of my left. As I started massaging it is came pouring out. This morning though I only got 4 oz while massaging and like 7oz put of my right (it had been more than 4 hrs since my last pump). So I am glad to hear it has not affected your supply.

Agree with you about dr. Google. Her patients are interesting that is for sure!

C fell asleep on my chest after I burped him. He's making those sweet sleep smiles... I am overcome. I just want to put my cheek against his, and leave it there forever.

This is my favorite thing in the world too. No matter how frustrated I get, I can pop her up on my shoulder post-feeding/burping and watch those sweet sleep faces and it's all better.

Oooo! Added to my cart! Thank you, love. You're so smart.

LO has the most gorgeous hair color but his hair is falling out. I feel like I'm gonna be sad if it grows back a different color.

Hey I struggled with the initial bond as well--- never bonded during pregnancy and then when he was finally here I felt super disconnected and was doing things because I had to. It made it harder because my husband is so extremely attached and just held him and cooed and told him repeatedly, "I love you, I love you. You're so precious." I on the other hand was like, "I love him too, I think." You just feel so ashamed when everyone else says, "love at first sight" and you are thinking, "who are you?" Every day has been better for me and honestly breast feeding has been what has helped my connection so much. I do love him and even typing this makes me cry because I am so happy and relieved that our bond is growing. I am really happy for you and just want you to know there are other "late bonders" out there.

I use these like 80% o the time I pump

nicole mackenzie · May 2014

I feel like crap... LO and I have colds.
I just want to sleep, she just wants to nurse then comfort nurse then nurse.

eireyes · May 2014

I'm hoping that all the sleeping Aiden is doing today is a result of his antacid meds kicking in. He's been attached to my boob like crazy today and is on his second nap of the day. I'm so happy he's napping I don't care that I'm stuck on the couch - I'm getting snuggles!

Downside to my situation - DH has the remotes on the other end of the couch and we're watching a Godzilla marathon... Le sigh...

Mamamonzo · May 2014

Just leaving this here. It's MI so naturally last week Luke wore a diaper and nothing more. Now it cold and we have an outdoor party to go to. He's ready!

Eta: note my fleabag babysitting

she lays with him anytime he is on the floor

KatieGummow · May 2014

@jellysparkles‌ that is really sweet and thoughtful of you!

KatieGummow · May 2014

DH took over all the night feedings/snuggles without me asking to! Love love love.

I kinda wanted to be a bitch and tell him to stay up with the boys at 530 so he really knows how my night sleeping goes. Instead I let him crash and he is still sleeping. So happy! Minus my stupid left boob.

mrscrcalli · May 2014

My LO is the smelly kid, his farts are so bad.. Wherever we go people probably think I'm just letting him sit In a dirty diaper

JessieAlbin · May 2014

@mrscrcalli‌ Porter and Sullivan would make good friends, my kid is the smelly kid too, but not because of his farts. He gets puke all up in his neck and all over his clothes and no matter how many wipes we use he stinks until we bathe him. It is a struggle not bathing him daily.

On that note:

mrscrcalli · May 2014

Tried on some of my pre preg clothes today.....nope!

rockstarlaw · May 2014

@JessieAlbin‌ - adorable picture!! Sullivan is a cutie!!

cgoldian · May 2014

It took six days, but I finally left the house! It is so beautiful outside I may window shop all day!

mrscrcalli · May 2014

Left LO with DH, getting a pedicure!

deidremaria · May 2014

My mother told me tha at 4 months old my twin and I were having 16 oz of cereal in one feeding from bottles. I'm soooo glad we didn't become obese
