Re: The Randomest Thread
How do i intro to parenting? Anything specific?
Do i not need to and just jump in like on our board?
I want to join in their harry potter discussions!
Instead I will be here trying to put on a good face and entertain the ILs (I actually really like my ILs today is just overwhelming) and not cry.
Don't ask me what I want you to do if you're just going to say you don't want to do it. Instead just get out of my way.
I mean really I asked my mom to come down because I knew he wouldn't even be down with just tending to the baby all day so I can try to get our house in some sort of working order.
He loves Jackson very much, and I Iove him (my husband) very much, but I honestly think it would be easier to be a single mom most days
Edit- paragraphs
Good news is that I was able to pay by CC for almost all of them so I got the points.
Green poop could be more foremilk than usual, but it could be food.
My LO has had a few days, though not consecutive days, where every diaper was green poop. Some of those days he has been basically attached to my boobs all day long. (For that reason, I don't believe it's too much foremilk, since he'd be getting a lot more hind milk being attached all day)
My other two kids would have green poops if I ate seafood, especially shrimp. I don't remember noticing if LO had green poop after I had shrimp 2 weeks ago. I'll have to pay attention next time.
I wouldn't worry too much unless it remains green for more than a day or two. (I say a day or two based on my kid that poops 4-6 or more times a day)
@Aturl
EBF baby poop can have many colours and consistencies. Most frequently it's yellow (bright or pale), but could be orange or even greenish, though frequent green could be a bad sign.
It could be seedy looking (like sesame seeds), creamy looking (like sour cream), or lumpy (like cottage cheese).
Each baby has their own 'normal'.
MH and I took our boat out on a local pond. We have this 12-foot plastic oversized bathtub of a boat with a dinky 5 horsepower lawnmower engine of a motor that backfires like a gunshot when you cut it. We brought a picnic dinner. MH fished and I bird-watched until dark, then we went out for dessert and drinks.
Got back to find out that A had NOT CRIED AT ALL and spent the evening cooing, wriggling on his blanket, and smiling at his adoring grandparents. Also my mother had swept the kitchen, found my missing car keys, cleaned vacuumed and spot-cleaned my car, and planted my wilting seedlings I hadn't had time for.
BEST NIGHT EVAR.
That's being said, I loved seeing all of our family that was able to come. I'm excited for the family reunions to come this summer! :x
I'm also happy to go back go keeping up with TB. Cleaning my house and going food shopping everyday really cut into my bump time!
DH has his 9th day in a row of work tomorrow the. Off tue work wends off thurs and back for 5.
He's non negotiable grouchy. Which means we had a spiff and I cried a lot!
I keep telling myself it will be less stressful soon and we just need some time at home.
We have yet to spend a set of his days off together at home since LO was born
Pretty sure we need to stop neglecting our home and have our own family time
I'm having a glass if wine IN bed to make myself feel better
Once I got her ok and her address, I posted a thread and asked people to PM me if they were interested and I then replied back with my address so they could send their contribution (everyone promised not to stalk me, and I did leave my last name off, not sure if that would do any good but ya know). I googled the loss mom's city to see what kind of restaurants/stores were in the area so I could give suggestions of what to give if people wanted to send a gift.
Most people sent sympathy cards, some sent giftcards for restaurants so they could get out of the house for an easy dinner, some sent small remembrance gifts, I included a bag of chocolates (my sunshine mission gift after our loss had delicious chocolates and it was a nice comfort).
Once everything was confirmed, I gave people about a month to send me their contributions, and once I was pretty sure I had gotten them all, I packed it up and sent it to her. Tag me if you have any more questions, thanks for getting this going!

I'm not part of the Facebook group, but I feel the same as what FBW posted.
If the 'applicant' becomes active here, then you could see what they are like, THEN add them later.
They may even change their mind about joining after getting to know us.
