I feel super blah today. I need to get my resume together to start applying for jobs, but get super sad thinking about leaving LO. It's pouring rain so we can't go outside and anything I can think of doing with LO would cost money, which we can't really spare (unemployed mama). The library changed its schedule, so instead of having 4 activities per week that LO could attend, there is now 1 at 3:00 on Fridays. LO isn't napping or eating well and he's whiny and clingy (probably teeth). I just want to crawl in bed, hide under my covers, and have a good cry, but that's not an option. Sorry for the vent. I'm just sort of tapped.
@WasNotWas, I believe all IUD's are evil. I actually told my gyno that I felt like she inserted a devil with a pitch fork, I only kept mine in 2 weeks I was dying!
Plus we miss you! Damn mirena stole your sunshine!
Thanks guys, that's exactly how I feel @heartlikemine3 I've got an appointment scheduled for the 17th and I think I'm going to go with nothing for a while @34blondie but I swear if I have a third kid I will kill you all
@mcbush. I don't have tinted windows on either of our cars, but lots of people get it. I really didn't notice much difference when DH had it on his car, except that people can't see in the car as well.
If people bring gifts to the party I wouldn't pull them aside or donate them. Asking to bring something to be donated is one thing but if I brought a gift then got told it would be donated and you didn't want gifts I would wonder why that wasn't mentioned beforehand.
Do you just not want them opened at the party? I think that's fine. If you really don't want gifts you need to tell people though or you will get them for sure
@ChicagoChic82 don't mention gifts either way, if someone asks, maybe mention a donation to a college fund or something. If people are planning on attending a party, they should plan on bringing a gift, even if it's just a hostess gift.
Another Was product recommendation: Garnier 5-second blur. It goes on kind of weird because it's like a powdery cream but it works! If you are not a big makeup wearer (or too sunburnt for your CC cream to blend properly <-- me) it's awesome
We got a Save The Date for my sorority sister's wedding on Aug 30. I haven't seen her or any of the girls since my wedding 6.5 years ago. Guess this is more motivation to get my ass to the gym.
@ChicagoChic82 - I would put "no gifts". I think it's becoming more common at kids parties. I would not donate someone's gift or tell them about a college fund if asked. Just my 2 cents.
I love my Mirena...... I'm starting to feel like that's a really UO around here. Maybe I should put this there. This is my second time getting it and obviously I must have liked it enough the first time to get it again. I have had zero issues with it, besides the crazy acne. Or maybe I just don't realize there are issues, after reading all your responses about it I'm trying to think if I have any of these problems too. I truly think the acne is just my skin when I'm not taking BCP's. I started BCP when I was 16 and never ever got a pimple through high school and university. I started Mirena and holy pimples, but I also had them terrible when I had it taken out prepregnancy, throughout pregnancy and before getting it inserted again. I think my skin just sucks.....especially my back and chest, any product suggestions for that?
@colieann31 Kael only fits into 2T clothes.....and that will probably only last another month.
Same here. Thank goodness I have clothes from ds1 so I don't me have to buy much. Once they hit 1 year of age, the growing, in my experience slows down. Ds1 only goes up a size every 6-8 months.
@Mommycoffee I had that taste in my mouth constantly. But I just blamed it on the pills I was taking for my HG. Perhaps it was actually a symptom of pregnancy.... you learn something new every day.
Who had metallic mouth taste while pregnant? When does it stop? How did you cope? This is something new for me this time around. Means it's a boy right?!
I never had metal mouth but I have 2 boys and I had completely different symtpoms with both. I thought ds2 was a girl because the pregnancy was completely different than ds1's.
LO is obsessed with the spiders on our patio. Why L why, I hate them and he is constantly sitting and staring at them. He points to them and then tries to grab them in their web. I know it is only a matter of time before he tries eating them, I do not know if I will survive this... ehhhhhhhhh spiders kill me.
Does anyone know if there's any rules about asking to use a change room to breastfeed?
Someone was told no and it's caused a big comotion on my facebook. It got me thinking that while I was visiting the US I asked to use a change room and was told no and directed to the bathroom. I was pretty mad because I was in a strange city and didn't know where anything was in the outlet malls but didn't think to complain to anyone. I have never tried since and figured it would always be no..
I would get no if there were customers waiting. I was just curious. To me it kind of seems like it could be a grey area but then again your supposed to be able to anywhere.
Grayson has been asleep for almost 2 hours now. I got a peak inside his mouth earlier and it looks like molars are starting to come in that explains why he was so cranky tonight and why he went to sleep as early as he did. Good night ladies. It's going to be an early morning for me.
When I worked at Target, it was corporate policy that no team member could confront or redirect a breastfeeding mother anywhere within the store. If a mom asked for a private place to nurse, we were to offer a changing room and she got top priority over other guests in line.
ETA: This came after a woman sued Target because a team member had suggested she use the restroom to nurse.
I used lots of changing rooms to nurse, but I don't think I ever asked. If someone was working in that area, I would just grab a shirt and pretend to be trying it on. I am very non confrontational though.
Like several other babies, my LO is sleeping like a newborn tonight. I have been up 5 times so far. Thank God I have off today! DH returns from a work trip today. I'm sure he will be excited to see me looking like a zombie.
The first time LO woke up last night I was really mad that me doing the dishes had woken him up...until a good 3 minutes later when I realized it was 2 AM and me doing dishes in a dream could not have possibly woken him up. I was really tired.
I am home with both kids today because daycare is closed and Ty is such a Klingon I had to hold him while I was making them breakfast! It's going to be a loooong day
2T baby here. Like @ilovemarfa said, thank goodness for older brother hand-me-downs. But Bradley is only in 3T. What do I do when they are in the same size?
Hugs, @subliminalrabbit My H just sniffs really loud. Over and over. To the point where I think he's going to wake up the baby. He also blows his nose loudly, but the in between sniffs drive me NUTS!
