    H is helping a friend brew beer. And he is in love.

    I imagine there will be equipment purchases in my near future.

    MH homebrews (cider, not beer) and the equipment expense is really minimal. Just the 5-gallon jugs, the yeast, the vent thingies for the top, the corker and bottle capper, siphon, bottles, all of which are pretty cheap. You can also get a thingie to test the alcohol content but we're lazy and don't do that. :-)

    So what you're telling us is that you drink 40 proof cider?
    Possibly more as he jacks it by putting it out on a subzero night and throwing away the chunk of ice that forms on top......

  • Everyone. Go buy a squatty potty. That is all.

    Googles squatty potty immediately. Don't need it yet. I haven't lost all my baby weight! Butt still too big! :)) :)) :))

    It's just the foot stool (bahaha stool). You use your regular toilet.

  • All the talk about LO's being baptized made me happy :-)  DD2 was baptized a couple weeks ago - my cousin flew in and baptized her, which was really cool.  We had a great time and it was so special to have him here.  Had to attach a pic of her happy face!

  • DS1 is having an epic meltdown and is screaming and screaming while DH has him in a basket hold to keep him from hurting himself or destroying everything in sight. DS2 is super super fussy. My ILs are on their way down to have birthday BBQ for DH. I just can't deal with today. I want to run away and hide. I want to go somewhere quiet where no one needs anything from me.

    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.

    @amdecker1016‌ just intro! I did a couple weeks ago. Although I've also heard of others just jumping in. They're a pretty relaxed group.
    I post there sometimes. I know a lot of those girls but they don't know my current screen name. Never had any issues without an intro.

  • Ok DS1 finally calmed down (over an hour of screaming and raging) and is now passed out napping. DH took DS2 so I could pump. The ILs haven't arrived yet so I am pumping in quiet and regrouping. Parenting is so hard sometimes and heartbreaking when your child is struggling and you can't magically make it better for them.

  • @FarmBoysWife‌ - do you find that they really work? I'm returning to work next week and am starting to freak out about my supply and pumping at work and having enough for him at childcare, etc.

    I had to have this talk with DH:
    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 :( one less person to clean up after and plan around.

    Edit- paragraphs
  • @FarmBoysWife‌ - do you find that they really work? I'm returning to work next week and am starting to freak out about my supply and pumping at work and having enough for him at childcare, etc.

    If I drink enough water yes!
    If I'm having a busy day and hardly drink.. No.
    Gotcha. I've been rocking the water thing, so hopefully I can keep it up at work. One other question, regarding oatmeal - is the instant flavored stuff sufficient to help or does it need to be from rolled oats, unflavored, etc?

  • Paid off the kiddo today (all medical bills). Nothing like spending $1700 on a Sunday afternoon.

    Good news is that I was able to pay by CC for almost all of them so I got the points.

    Hmmm... It seems like lo's diapers are always pretty green... :( I didn't know that was wrong. Crap looks like we are gonna have to work on keeping him interested in staying on longer
  • Ebf baby poop is green today, anyone know any possible reasons or have this happen?
    I'm not too worried just wondering, I didn't eat anything weird I haven't eaten in the past I don't think

    @WisconsinCheese12‌
    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'.


  • Colton has had green poop for the past week or so. I know he is getting the right blend of fore/hind milk. His pedi wasn't concerned and his weight gain is great. Idk he isn't showing any signs of anything going on either. But man is it staining the cloth dipers!
  • Thanks @lincbeesmom‌

    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!

  • I want all the wine!!!!!!!!!!!!
    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
  • @bennieangel‌ thanks! I think he's pretty cute myself. ;-)

    This- with the amendment of if she becomes active here- she can come there. @bandteacher or @DaisyCat11‌ maybe @bunnyfungo could vouch in my book.
    ..........................

    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. ;) lol.
  • kirotea said:

    Ok. I'll respond to her message with something like "Sorry, I can't see where you've really been active on the March 2014 BMB. Please feel free to join in more conversations there and once other BMB members are comfortable enough with you, you'll be able to join the FB group at that time."

    Sounds good to me.
  • Did we decide if it meant anything bad that one breast produces more than the other?
