    @PoppySeedWindsor‌ yes! All the emotions! Ugh I was ugly crying most of the night and this morning about LO not latching and breastfeeding woes. When I called to schedule an appt with the LC I was struggling not to cry on the phone with the receptionist. I should not be this irrationally emotional!

    @michaelad3 I'm sorry you're dealing with them too but also, YAY I'm selfishly glad I'm not the only one.

    And re: the receptionist; I made Merri's two month appointment today and the receptionist said, "You know..you're NEVER going to find ANYTHING with her name on it."

    I bit her head off like I was a fat kid (pregnant woman/nursing woman?!?!) on cake. 

    That was before the tears started.

    Oy.

    So DH got the official word today that a promotion he's been expecting will take effect in January. I have mixed emotions about this. This means he'll be less involved with the account he's at right now (no more 15 hour days for weeks on end) but he'll be supervising several other accounts outside of our area so he'll be traveling more. The raise means I could go part time if I wanted but I'm not sure I want to do that to be honest. I like having something that's just me.

    Oh, and the reason it was made official today? They want him to travel to Lincoln NE this weekend to check an account out. So guess who's driving in the car 7 hours with an 8 week old?

    Are there any RTT's out there? Or Wichita maybe?

    DS just took a pumped bottle (I'm having a margarita), he's in his swing after a good walk-around-the-house burping session, and I'm singing to him the soundtrack from O Brother, Where Art Thou.  Did I mention the sun is shining and the world is green?  Not a bad afternoon for my little 7 week old :)
    Go to sleep little baaaaaaabye. Go to sleep little baaaaaabye. 
    I sing this to LO all the time! It's my favorite! I like to say daddy instead of devil. :)
    YESSSSS! Me too...although it depends on my mood :-)

    This made me think of Zombieland.
    But no, I'm not in Witchita. Sorry.
    I don't do zombies. Or anything scary really. But I'm guessing this from the walking dead?

    Anybody else experience post partum hormones come back with a fucking vengeance and a half? My afternoon was ripe with emotions and unableness-to-deal-with-normal-day-stress/shit hormones that were as powerful and ass-kicking as Bruce Willis ala Die Hard combined with Danny Glover and Mel Gibson in EVERY Lethal Weapon movie combined.

    So much this. :/

    Just got DSD's final kindergarten report card in the mail. Completely baffled at how she can get "outstanding" for speaking and listening, when at home she can't seem to listen for shit. 

    I say the same thing about my kindergartner.

    Yeah I was so disappointed! I was like 'you can come reno my new house.....enh?' but no dice. We were never going to keep the house regardless of the renos, we just figured it would add value to the property which is what most people do. A friend of mine was on the show and she told us that they have them say 'we'll love it' AND 'we'll list it' and the producers decide which ending to air.
    HGTV lies!!!
    I've heard house hunters actually have their house picked before they look at the others too

    So DS is 6 weeks, 5 days old. Can the 6 week growth spurt be just sleeping a lot? I'm holding my breath and waiting for him to be super cranky and terrible...the last 3 days have literally been the easiest since we've had him. He just eats, naps for 2-3 hours, repeat. Long stretches at night and everything, despite the long naps. If he's awake, he just quietly looks around...I love it but I'm wondering if this is his growth spurt or it's yet to come?

    Jealous. Enjoy it, don't question it and can you have him call Emma and tell her that day napping is a good thing? :)

    Haha! I know I've totally just jinxed myself. He's going to wake up vomiting blood and spinning his head around now...curses

    Lol. I hope the good days continue for you!

    That's how B was last week at six weeks. Long naps, sleeping all night. This week it is just catnaps, but she is still sleeping at night, so I can't complain.

    Stop ruining HGTV for me! I wanna keep pretending that people pick their new houses and decide to keep their house.

    Next you'll tell me Jonathan doesn't do any of the designs for the fixer uppers...

    Haha! That man can do no wrong. How hot would it be to be in the middle of a property brothers sandwich?

    Yes please. It's not cheating if it's with twins-they cancel eachother out!
    Definitely not cheating. Famous people never count...

    I definitely understand that sometimes, yea, baby be cray.
    But when like 100+ babies all hit crazy periods all at once, and are then doing/learning the same/similar new things right afterwards, it's kind of hard to ignore. That was my experience with DS' BMB anyway.

    True. But with myself at least, I wonder how much the power of suggestion plays into it. If I weren't on TB, I wouldn't know about any of that stuff and wouldn't have any expectations about when the cray would occur.

    Oh shit. In laws are selling the farm which means we are spending July 4th weekend there. Child sleeps swaddled in crib every single night. Child hates PnP and will wake up from a dead sleep screaming while in it. Gaaaah!

    So unofficial RTT poll: do I try to teach him to sleep in the PnP, risking crappy sleepless nights for us. Or do we take the RnP for night sleeping and hope for the best?

    I hate hate hate the idea of having to take a 5hr roadtrip with a 2.5 month old. I have no idea what he'll be like in a month or how he is going to react to being away from home. We JUST got him into a rhythm of sleeping in the crib and a quick nighttime feed/change before going back down for another 3-4hr sleep. I'm tempted to agree and tell DH he is responsible for the MOTN feedings since he wanted to take this trip...

    @Stace0616‌ I really wouldn't worry. We take a lot of road trips and my dd has never had any issues with her routine being disrupted. Especially when they're so little- as long as you're there, LO will be fine. :)

    FFMC: I think the wonder weeks are crap. And kinda growth spurts too. I mean, it's nice to have something to blame for cray cray baby behavior, but sometimes there is no reason for our kids being BSC. Not because science/growth spurt/wonder week. Because baby.

    I was thinking the same exact thing. Worst $3 spent on an app yet!

    I didn't really mind that B doesn't like pacifiers till she started waking me up with really loud thumb sucking at night.
