  • All the hugs @mamamonzo and all the other Mamas struggling today. We should all take the weekend off and let our SO's take care of the kids.

    @mamamonzo don't feel guilty for needing alone time. That's a legit need and obviously it isn't being met. Feeling that way also doesn't mean you don't love your LO.  


    And FWIW, I'd be wicked pissed if my H bitched about being tired after choosing to do something discretionary like that during time he could have spent sleeping.  Is your H in a league or something?
    I use the word league loosely but yes. It wouldn't be so bad that he goes because I always went an watches and enjoyed being outdoors. But the past two weeks it's rained so the grass is wet and the bugs are insane. No way am I bring Lucas to that mess!

    Thanks ladies!!

    Everytime I get time to run out myself I feel like I need to hurry home so my time isn't enjoyed.

    Sigh. This.

    At least weekly I sincerely ask myself "self, why are you such a moron that you didn't go into the beer/wine/spirits industry straight out of college?" Every week I fail to come up with any answer other than the obvious "because I'm a moron."

    If anyone knows of a winery that needs an on-staff attorney, you let me know.


    NO don't take my spot. I want to be the wine attorney (maybe we should start a firm!)

    I'm in. I said I never wanted to work at a law firm again, but I think I could handle it with this kind of focus. Let's do this!

    So one of these faces is causing the other. You decide.

    This kid MUST be held all the time always. Even wearing him in a wrap in not always suitable.
    Trying to figure out a daily routine. I feel like I don't know where to start since he won't sleep more than 15 minutes unless I'm holding him. And I don't know what to do with him when he's awake either. We don't have an activity mat and I'm not sure he would like it. Because it would mean I'm not holding him.
    He can handle his bouncer or his pack and play (has toys dangling as well as a mobile) for about 10 min max.

    He obviously needs a puppy. Y U NO GIVE HIM A PUPPY
    I should totally get a puppy. Then I'd be ready for when this kid is a toddler and I have LO#2. Good practice, right?

    Every time DH complains about being tired I want to bitch slap him. Then when he actually is awake with me in the middle of the night I feel guilty that hes not sleeping, yet really glad im not the only one up - way less lonely when we are both up on the crap nights!

    Me. Too.

  • So I was in a wedding in March and there is a whole conversation going about how most of the guests didn't put together there was a pregnant girl in the wedding party.  Um what!?  Did you just assume that was a beach ball under there?  Going to cry in a corner now...
  • My mom left today. Real life starts now. X_X

  • So this is mean, but whenever DS is having a meltdown, we blow softly on his face, and he goes all stiff for a second. Is this a reflex?

    Yes. They teach you to do that before dunking a baby under water if you do swim classes. It makes them gasp and hold their breath. Also a way to get them to take a breath.
  • purespark said:

    Yeah, the nurse told me to blow in LO's face immediately after his shots so he'd take a breath (to scream with).

    This makes me sad!
    P has his next week :(

    Yes! I was told this too and at first I was like "what?" but now when LO goes into a silent scream/cry I'll do it and it works like a charm.
  • Sitter backed out 2 hours before date night.. DH has been out of town most the month and I really really was looking forward to this break.. I'm sitting in the kitchen crying. I just wanted a couple hours.. Ugh so disappointed

  • So sorry @mrscrcalli‌. I hope she had a good reason at least.
  • I'm going to cross post my gross vagina question from Stupid Questions Thread:

    I am 8 weeks pp and from what I can feel (I really don't want to look) I still have all of my stitches. I had a small first degree tear and a second degree tear. At my 6 week appointment, my OB said the stitches were almost gone from the first degree tear and she said she cleared out what little was left. The thing is, I can still feel what I think are two sets of stitches and they are completely intact. I know everyone is different, but shouldn't they be gone by now? Am I feeling scar tissue or something like that? I swore I read they would dissolve within a couple of weeks. If I do look down there, what should I be looking for to identify there is a problem?

    I'm just a few hours away- have your date here!

  • @dani+california‌ definitely will! My friends have kids but they are all way past the baby stage. I feel like I have to state that I do not reside in the south end :p

    @mrscrcalli‌ :( sorry about the sitter. Is there somewhere yummy you could go for Dinner with baby ?

    Shots scare me also. Dr surprised me and wanted to do Drake's at his appt last week but I was so not prepared and said no. He gets them on the 23rd . So making his father come and go in with him . I can't deal with stuff like that .

  • I hAte when the kids have to get shots. Like @purespark‌, Owen only cried for a few seconds. DS1 screams bloody murder when they do the cold swab, and then nothing for the actual needle.
  • DH to the rescue.. He's going to make me dinner and take LOs MOTN feeding so I can pump and drink away all my sorrows..

    He comes home in an hour.. Buuutttt I'm goring to start drinking now while I pump

    I like your husband
  • purespark said:

    Such a cute couple! My SIL just moved to Portland, and she was telling me how y'all love your soccer. Apparently games are the place to be!

    It's definitely a great place for soccer. We have some wild fans! It's a lot of fun.

    Come here and we will take you to one in exchange for us coming to you for wine and dinner..

    Although I have to say walla walla wine and Oregon Pinot hands down kicking napa booty so we can show you some good wine too

  • I meant to attach the picture of his sexayness

    You two are adorable.

    We had steak and potatoes for dinner (DH had asparagus as well, but asparagus hates me so I skipped it). I want to eat all the things in the house right now.
    I have exchanged my love for asparagus with a new love of broccolini!
