@purespark and @KendraColeslaw you can't lift the headrest on the middle seat so anything that straps underneath won't work. Do the straps just wrap around?
SO...maybe this coincides with the whole "bonding" with baby- but I don't know! I think I have the sweetest, cutest little baby around- I love to hold him, feed him and just love on him- but I still don't feel like a "mom" -or his mom. I feel like I am just getting to take care of a cute little snugglebug. He's 4 weeks. IS there an AHA moment? Or did everyone have that and I am just detached? ALSO- I honestly feel like pregnancy is a TOTAL blur... I cannot believe 4 weeks ago I was humongo and now I just have a semi-flat jelly belly and stretchmarked tatas.
Maybe I just need to pour myself a glass of wine, join HH and stop overthinking everything.
May the Fourth Be With You: Our 5-4-14 Baby: Andrew Joseph
Hahaha I love house hunters. I thought it was ok to have a drink and breast feed? Or are people just really cautious?
I will drink a beer or have a glass of wine and bf. If I have much more, I give a bottle and wait a feeding. Haven't been buzzed yet...most I have had so far is 2.5 beers...Haven't had any hard liquor yet. Also, I definitely have been having a drink daily--- during 3rd tri, I had 2 drinks a week. Going to a wedding at the end of June, I feel a hangover coming on just thinking about it!

This week reminds me why I keep my side of the family at arms reach. Too much. Just... too much. I can't even produce a coherent rant to cover everything.
Oh, and hibye :-h

I've got a real FWP here.. Getting my hair done tomorrow and I can't descide if I want to get my blunt bangs back.. I grew them out all pregnancy, but I kind of miss them, ughh
Is it creepy that I talk to hubby about things from here? Even creepier, he remembers @dani+california as "Burned Tongue on Brownie Knife Lady."
Sometimes DH asks me if I've run baby things by the board. "What did @MamaFantastic think about..." @Jellysparkles is my drag queen friend, @Mrscrcalli is the cute one up north (my description, not his ) and RTT is the place he asks if I've bragged about him lately. I spend too much time with y'all.
BIRL you had better go talk to your husband about me, because I am HURT!
Oh, sorry. Did I not say that @TallaB is the weird vegan who hates everyone that I'm going to have a slumber party with next time we're in Arizona? My bad.

I have a really high tolerance. I have never been a cheap date. I have never gone more than a couple weeks without a drink before I got pregnant.
I was so excited to become a lightweight after such a long drinking hiatus. Alas, I think I still have a pretty high tolerance. I have had 2 glasses of wine and not even had a buzz. Not like I'm trying to get rocked or anything but I like the nice warm feeling after a few glasses of wine and I was hoping to get that easier these days.

I still have moments like that and I've been a mom for nearly two years.

To DH you're my pregnant friend from back home.. So you're like legit in my house lol
And that is why Calli > BIRL.
**Starting drama.
Talla - you're the vegan in my house (we're vegetarians).
@MissHSoonToBeMrsS I have a Ford Edge too, and I have the Brica Day & Nightlight Musical Mirror. You can shove the middle headrest through the big hole in the bottom of the harness. Someone got the mirror for us and I first thought it wouldn't fit too, and got really upset - DH figured it out in ten seconds flat.

*waits patiently for her birls-husband-description*
So how much would you drink before you pumped and dumped? I try to tell DH that if you aren't drunk it's ok to breast feed. I had 2 margaritas and DH is freaking out. WWRTT do
Tell him until LO is on his boob, he's not the expert! You know if you're drunk, if you are then dump if you're ok to drive then you're all G double O D good.

We are officially homeowners. Closed this afternoon <:-P
Best part is, we don't have to move. After my dad passed away, there was a lawsuit ( he was killed in a car accident) and with some of the settlement, my mom bought a foreclosure house and we have been renting it from her for 3 years. Now, it's ours
Oh god. Mommy needs a drink after tonight! Was feeding LO who was sucking VERY greedily at the bottle, took it away momentarily to slow him down, and he cried then went quiet with his mouth open (like when they wind up for a big scream) and he STOPPED EFFING BREATHING for a few seconds! I was waiting for the wail that didn't happen, and his face was going red and my stomach completely dropped. Next thing I know, I'm scooping him up over my shoulder and burping him harder than I have before while my whole body starts shaking and he FINALLY burps and lets out that huge wail I was waiting for.
It was only a few seconds, and he was fine afterward. I still haven't figured out what happened, but I just got so scared and burst into tears and held him for a good hour afterward crying. This is how DH found us after work. My poor little baby He is back to his normal self now, but needs to not scare Mommy like that!!

Mother fucking shit. Do a couple shots while you're at it! Glad he's ok.
"Oh Coleslaw? She helped with the registry. And She's the one with the bump photos, right? (I told him you always looked good on HDBD.) Rogue? She's my favorite."
"Great. Why is she your favorite? Everyone will hate me now, thanks."
"Her screen name is Rogue. Duh."
...
"Why do people online care so much if I've heard of them?"
"Exactly."
Y'all are gonna be so sad when you ask and all you get back is crickets.

@BiggerInRealife I talk about everyone with my DH too, and he asks if I have run things by you ladies and what you think, but he doesn't remember everyone. I am super impressed that your DH remembers so many of the ladies on here!

Don't be. The fact that he knows so many is making me suspect that I have no life and I've been neglecting my real life friends.

Bragging about my kid: DH gave her a bottle for the first time while I was at the store and she gulped down half like a champ! A few minutes later she was giving me hungry face so I gave her the other half - which she took with her first half-smile at me thankyouverymuch - then she took back my boob half an hour later. DH said she smiled at him when he fed her, and I'm only slightly miffed he got the first smile because I'm just so proud! Whoo hoo! Mama can rejoin the world without fearing that I'm starving my child!
