@pineconey So sorry about the rough night. DD was like that when she was an infant, it was so rough on us. I really hope TinyPiney starts sleeping better for you soon.

Thank you @fireflygirl12‌! DH doesn't get it sometimes. He thinks I was being unreasonable that we left the restaurant! Sorry dude, this isn't our house where it's acceptable to have a screaming kid and drink a beer. You're right, there is no way that he hasn't felt like he misses our pre-kid life--I think he was taken aback that I admitted it out loud. Of course I love DD but, damn, it's been one heck of an adjustment to be a mom.

Haha, the other day we were at a bbq joint. DS did well at first but started fussing. I kept him quiet for a while with a boob, but then that ran out and he started melting down. I finished my food at top speed and then after a few minutes DH is sitting there, staring off into space, leisurely eating his dessert, one lick of the spoon at a time. I poked him on the shoulder and said "Honey, you can't enjoy your food when your son is screaming! Eat it so we can GO." And all the people sitting next to us started laughing.

DD is doing better today. Nursing is taking twice as long because she can't breathe as well. Which is frustrating for both of us.

My SIL called last night and mentioned the swing my in laws have is not reclined, it just sit them straight up. Not going to work for sleeping in. So I either need to get her used to sleeping somewhere else in 3 days or bring our swing with us. I sense I will be taking apart the swing...

Teresa1896 · June 2014

Sorry for your rough night @pineconey. It's so frustrating when they need sleep so badly that they can't sleep.

@dani+california‌, take a shot eh? Reading helps me fall asleep, but sometimes in the middle of the night I just lie there, listening to lo's white noise till I fall asleep.

thomas930 · June 2014

@Emily041285 happy to hear she is starting to feel better

chichi589 · June 2014

@celticlullaby‌ sorry he's being a grump but man those eye lashes! So handsome!!

Came into work today to find someone took my 4th of July shift! We have to work 2 holidays and I haven't worked one yet so they chose me in a "random lottery" to work a night shift when I work days. Why can't I win a real lottery?
Long story short I have to pay it forward today. Maybe I'll buy someone's coffee in the drive thru??

avidkeo · June 2014

Morning everyone! First MOTN feed for us today - its now 3am. DD is usually a good sleeper - well at night. But for some reason during the day will now only nap for 40mins or so. Its a new thing, until a few days ago she would sleep for 2 hrs in the avo. Any ideas why the change?

Teresa1896 · June 2014

FYI: McDonald's iced coffees are now on the dollar menu!!! $1.08 for a large caramel iced coffee hell yes!

2nd leap maybe? Seems to be the norm for a lot of people.

I have missed a lot, whats a leap?

tamaraaaa · June 2014

Is anyone else watching this house in Texas that they are about to burn down? What in the world?!

janice9821 · June 2014

$1 caramel iced coffee?! This is dangerous knowledge.

Most interesting part of my day so far- I sneezed and scared my baby to tears. Poor darling!

Bluebird2318 · June 2014

I haven't used any of my freezer stash and I'm running out of room. I'm starting to realize I didn't think this through.

chichi589 · June 2014

My SO is freaking out because Chasr still has a small bump on his leg from where his shots were. It was exactly 7 days ago and it's the leg he got 2 shots on. It's not red or sensitive he doesn't care if you touch it. Should I be concerned? Now I'm worried I'm way too relaxed..

BiggerinRealLife · June 2014

@poru I'm sorry and don't blame you at all for crying.

mrscrcalli · June 2014

So... I got MC Hammered last night. Had to dump so much milk It was truly a sad thing. I feel like crap this morning.. I am not the party gal I once was!

kseccomb17 · June 2014

DD all morning -
"knock, knock"
"Who's there?"
"Erin"
"Erin who?"
"Erin who loves to eat apples"

..... and it's super hilarious EVERY TIME. 8-}

rockstarlaw · June 2014

@lia619‌ - I am totally with you on the leaving the restaurant while child is freaking out front. My SO seems way less phased by it too, but I am getting out of there when a meltdown ensues.

Bailey'sbride · June 2014

We just found out this week that DD needs PT because she favors looking to the right. :-( Thinking of the other babies going through this. Do your kids hate tummy time because of this?

Any ideas how long until it's corrected? I plan to ask next week at her first appointment.

kseccomb17 · June 2014

I'm pretty sure if someone leaves the RTT now, I'll feel like I got dumped. Please don't leave meee

pineconey · June 2014

Pre-preg jeans!!
Ok sooooo they're unzipped and being held by my Bella band, and they're size 18, so don't be jealous.

Packing away my maternity clothes (except for the tank tops because, omg those are the best) means wearing normal clothes. Hoping that I am able to stay motivated enough to finally lose the weight I've always wanted to!

Bailey'sbride · June 2014

At our two month appointment I mentioned that DD favors her right side. I was hoping for reassurance that it was normal. Our pediatrician checked her in a few different positions and, while she can look to the left, she almost always will turn right. It's called torticollis, her right neck muscles are tight and shorten. PT isn't always needed, a lot of parents have success doing stretches at home. We've started the stretches at home and will go to PT once a week for 6 weeks.

I never knew infant PT existed before this week. I was pretty upset that there was something "wrong" with DD, but the more I talk to people I realize it's not super uncommon. I'm hoping it'll be easy to correct. Being a mom is tough.

We just bought a new chest freezer just for breast milk because we are having the same issue.

fireflygirl12 · June 2014

Thank you ladies for all the support yesterday!! Today is a gabillion times better and it's actually fun having 2 kids again. Don't know what I would do without you all!

pineconey · June 2014

Decided I earned some time away from the house. Picked up a swing that we are going to borrow from someone at church and now I'm at Starbucks. Parked next to a woman breast feeding in her car with a cover. I was tempted to knock on the window and offer to BF with her IN Starbucks- the back seat did not look comfy.

Let's call a spade a spade here buddy. You're playing your stupid iPad game. It should not take 30 minutes to take a fucking dump.

My H pees while holding DS.
Maybe tell him if his dumps are going to take that long that you're only buying high fiber foods from now on.

@mamrotu73‌ at his 1 month check doc said Every time that I put him down turn to right, because he was continuously fixated on an object in office. So I did. He immediately turns left and never stays looking right. Today we did TT at his 2 mo appt and he was going back left, and he was "fighting" her to go back right. She also said his head was getting a spot from where he lays looking left.

We have a pretty major flat spot over here. I've tried everything. Our ped said he will most likely grow out of it, but to me it's pretty bad. I feel like a helmet is in our future.

I have a really hard time doing different rhythmic things with both hands simultaneously. I'm trying to gently rub LO's forehead with one hand and rocking the RNP with the other and it keeps getting all messed up.

I took the boys to a little petting zoo/toddler play place today with my stepmom. I fed the baby doing the 2 shirt trick - and she scolded me for not covering myself up with a blanket. Because you could see some side boob, and what if a man came by? Because I'm sure the daddies with toddlers would be utterly scandalized by side boob, right? I have a harder time nursing around my family than NIP in front of total strangers.

I would tell her to shove it. I do the 2 shirt trick, but I usually also have a blanket to cover up. I don't mind NIP, but LO has a difficult time staying latched when i feed him in the carrier, so there's definitely lots of nipple exposure. Not to mention that due to my oversupply, I crazy spray/drip milk all over the place as soon as he unlatches. I'm sure it would be quite entertaining to watch. Maybe I should just embrace it and set a tip jar out.

This is one of my strengths. I wish I could teach you, but it's just one of those thing I do without much thought. My fave is tap eighths notes and triplets at the same time. A good trick to demo around music nerds (I was also my high school's drum major).

I wish you could teach me too. I just successfully did the patting my head while rubbing my stomach thing, so I'm not a completely lost cause.

fireflygirl12 · June 2014

Does anybody else watch 19 kids and counting? This whole "side hugs only until we're married" thing is killing me.

allyandmike24 · June 2014

Oh you guys. I just tried to do salt dough prints...total fail

Me, the baby, the mamaroo and surrounding areas are covered in flour. I am not good at crafts.

Fi got all vaxxed up today. Doc gave us a hard time about insufficient tummy time because she wasn't super excited to perform for her (I mean, seriously, she's got a cold and a big ol 92nd percentile noodle to haul around.) Other than that, she grew two inches and three pounds, so my little Michelin Man/Gerber baby hybrid is rockin it out. I guess I have to be thankful the boobs are doing their job, even though I'm so over their ridiculous size.

Pic? Need to see some Fi!

At least you tried. I knew mine would turn out awful so didn't even attempt it.

rtv3 · June 2014

I'm too behind to comment on everything I missed, so I'll just say big hugs to all you guys having bad days and cheers for cute babies and food days. I don't comment a ton but this thread is my main source of amusement these days

...That's supposed to say good days but I'm gonna leave it cuz food days rock! Eat all the foods!

baileymama3 · June 2014

NIP all the way! Yesterday it was in the target dressing room... Today I bumped it up a level to an aisle in Michaels in my K'tan. Looked like my entire boob was exposed, so I just avoided people as I walked around!!!

Also, girls night tonight! first time in 5 weeks wearing a real bra and a thong... And let's be honest it's probably been more like 3 months...

fireflygirl12 · June 2014

@jellysparkles she is sooooooooooo adorable!! I am with you on the snot thing. I've been using the Nose Frida twice a day and it seems never ending.

Emily041285 · June 2014

I think I'm more apt to nip around strangers. (Although @baileymama3‌ how do you do it in the k'tan?!?! I would love that). If I'm around people I know, but not well enough to share secrets with the bottle comes out or we go somewhere else.

Emily041285 · June 2014

The beast is finally asleep for the first time all day, and not in the swing! (Although in bed with me is not much better).

And since DH got 9 uninterrupted hours of sleep last night I don't care if this messes up her night sleep. He can deal with her when he gets home from work!

fireflygirl12 · June 2014

I really shouldn't even care about my nipple flashing. I showed my nipples to lots of strangers during my teenage years.
