I think I know the answer to this: I should take the infant insert out of the car seat when dd can hold her head up better right?
Swaddle-carrier-bed was ok, not flawless, but he did go to sleep faster than normal.
Right now, however, homeboy is just fussy enough for me to be awake but not enough that he needs anything. Just noisy every 5 min. Mom needs sleeeeeeeeep.

April 14 August Siggy Challenge- "This time last year.."
Yeah our insert moves too. She's been in the seat a lot this week unfortunately and due to the almost 100 degree temps she's sweating. DH wanted to take it out but I wasn't sure. Good point about the buckle though. We moved the shoulder straps but not that one. I'll have to look at that.
My boy slept til 8 which was nice but my boobs are baseballs
In other news considering chopping off my long hair to medium bob length but all I can think of is that it is a very new mom thing to do , I mean chopping hair not the actual hair do. Altho it could be worse I could get that hairdo Kate gosselin had
I think you remove it when she has head control in that case
TP to all the husbands acting douchey. My DH actually did good this morning and held her while I got breakfast and phone conferenced with a parent (teacher wrapping up the year-end-stuff)
Now I have to go move all my classroom stuff into next year's room. Thank goodness SIL is coming too to help watch DD/ move stuff

Yep, there's another one by the same author that I think is called My Love Will Always Find You. Also, You Are My I Love You. They get me every time!
Then I peed on a stick...
Well I organized my milk today since I'm lazy and leave it in the fridge until it's about to expire. Well I have enough already for the overnight, plus three bottles in the fridge! I'm so excited! I was kinda worried I wasn't going to have enough and we wouldn't be able to stay over! Yay for some mommy and daddy time!

I'm not a dog expert...I'm just going to give my unsolicited 2 cents:)
We have an aggressive dog. We got her prebaby, and she didn't start out aggressive. After several uneventful trips to the dog park, she began getting into full on attack fights with the dogs there. Then she began displaying aggression to people on the street if they got too close to her personal space. Her aggression is fear based, and most likely stems from poor socialization as a puppy (she was a rescue).
We have done extensive doggy school and training at home. She is an incredibly sweet dog - but requires a much different approach than any other dog we've had. She is great with the baby - but I wouldn't trust her out in public. If a child or a dog came running up to us, she'd go on the defense. We muzzle in public for this exact reason. When we have company over, they are instructed to ignore her. It works great with adults. But, we have a friend with a 2 year old - and we kennel anytime they come. He loves running towards her kennel and yelling, which sets her off.
All this to say - I don't know if aggression to other dogs becomes aggression to people. But, if I were to adopt all over again, I would choose a different dog. Don't get me wrong, I LOOOVE my dog. But there are thousands of dogs out there that need a home and with 2 kids to worry about, I wouldn't bring in a dog that you know could have issues. I would find a dog better suited for your family that wouldn't leave you worrying half the time.

@celticlullaby: I adopted my dog before I knew I was pregnant. He can be super aggressive around other dogs if they aren't introduced correctly. He wants to show his dominance over other dogs immediately and/or protect our other dog (who has poor manners and wants to play with other dogs in ways they don't typically appreciate). He has shown no aggression towards the baby and mostly just doesn't understand what she is. He's also very good with the few younger children hes been around, lets them hug him and pet him and (before I can tell them no) even let's them kiss his face. I would agree with PP if this is a very special dog, ask a behaviorists opinion, but make sure you get a good one! Adopting my dog, the behaviorists had his personality pegged completely backwards than how he is.

@sking72 I hope you are feeling better! Nothing worse than being sick and having to take care of another person.
And I forgot who brought up wasps, but I, too, am deathly afraid. Phobic afraid. I can't even look at photos of wasps. And guess what we have haunting our house ALL SUMMER?
I guess I just thought the first six weeks would be a struggle and then it'd get easier. But it only seems to be getting harder. My family lives six hours away and I just feel so isolated, especially with DH working late the past couple weeks.
