    I am that weirdo that doesn't care if random strangers get a peek of my boobs but am self conscious in front of people I know. So I cover around friends, but not at a shopping mall. But then again I hate my bare breasts (they are fine in a bra) and I don't want the people in my life to learn the big secret that I have ugly boobs.

    Im the EXACT same way. Too funny! And for the same reason too.

    I'm afraid of public restrooms so I do it in car. Yes, I'm nuts, I'm aware.

    tortilla chips (no salsa) and chocolate chips for me. Baby and daddy are both "napping" at 7:15 pm. There is no way I'm staying up to put her to bed tonight.

    I wipe down the changing tables with a diaper wipe and also throw down my portable changing pad from my diaper bag. And I wipe that too, before sticking it in the bag again.

    I do that too, but luke has crazy arms and he touches the sides! I know I need to get over myself he will touch dirty things, but bathroom stuff grosses me out sooo much!

    I am another one who feels weird at the idea of nursing around friends but not around strangers.  The only friend I have nursed in the company of is like the most extreme crunchy hippie earth mother mama in the world -- I have seen HER boobs a million times -- and I still felt a little weird in front of her!  I wish I could get over it.

    I really really hate those nasty public restroom changing stations soooo gross. DH is a genius and told me to throw a blanket down in the trunk and change the baby in there! Im Sure we aren't the first parents to think of it, but it's so much better than using the smelly bathrooms! It was a parent level up for us!!!
    Yes, I keep a receiving blanket in the back of the van and a little changing pad for quick changes while we're out :) I HATE those nasty restroom stations, like a breeding ground for who the fuck knows what.

    Re nursing in public: before I had dd I thought bebe au laits were heinous and ridic. Now I realize the neckline is awesome and the only way I can nurse dd without flashing serious nip at the world. I still do wish they had solid covers rather than print as I feel it draws more attention.

    I have had 2 glasses of wine so I took the plunge and ordered a bunch of cloth diapers from cotton babies. 2 Thirsties wraps, some prefolds, 4 flips, and 4 bumgenius. Hope it works out and saves me some dough.... Errr, I mean saves the earth.

    Formula is expensive, so that was the main reason for me to go cloth. It was a little overwhelming at first, but i love it now!

    @fourthnlast‌ yes the formula is a part of my baby related financial woes! I knew formula was about $25+ a pop. I just foolishly thought a canister would last longer than a week!

    Do you have a sam's or costco near you? I buy the sam's version of enfamil, it's $22 and 3lbs. I opened this can two weeks ago and still not empty yet. The costco price is the same.

    I think a sams and a bjs. For now I'm not switching dds formula since she has had some constipation issues. We tried bru brand and similac and she had hard turds only every couple days. Since we've switched to gerber she has been much better. My pedi said to wait til 12 weeks to try switching her formula again.


    Similac was hard on E too. I'm pretty sure they have a big Gerber container at sam's too. Not sure on the price though.

    And so begins the nightly battle of trying to get this kid to sleep.
    Lord beer me strength.
    And maybe also some beer.
    Or just sleep. I need sleep.

    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.

    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).
    You can do that??? @-) @-) @-)

    My take on NIP: I'd love to do it but still need too many accessories. I'm still too dependant on my boppy, which makes it super awkward. I tried nursing in my ped's office and since she's not long enough to sit on my lap it was like trying to nurse her while she was on a slip n slide. Once I become I dependant of the pillow I think I'll be pretty comfortable. Any tips are welcome!

    I found a house we liked on coldwellbanker.com and emailed the listing agent. She wrote me back and asked if there were other houses we wanted to see so I sent her a list and she set the whole day up for us. She is still showing us houses a month later till we find "the one". Good luck!

    @AllyxCore85‌ you're right! Parenting is hard! I'm sorry you're having a rough night. Middle of the night arguments suck. Hope you get some rest!

    @ColleenSwerb‌ you have to readjust the wrap to get them to the boob by loosening it and re tightening it when finished. Takes some practice!!

    Kiddo, knock it off with this multitasking thing. You're absolute shit at it. GIO/pooping while eating guarantees you are going to choke, over and over, and then you're all pissed off, and then you hate life when I wipe your poopy bum mid feeding because all you wanna do is choke on your bottle.

    Sigh. At least his attempt to get it all done in twenty minutes or less gets his little grumpy butt back to sleep faster. You'd never know all that grunting and choking and pooping and crying was happening thirty seconds ago, he's sleeping so soundly!

    G is 11 weeks now so last night I planned to have him sleep without his swaddle. He laid in bed, moving around and GIO until midnight when I finally put the swaddle back on because I couldn't sleep. As soon as I laid him back down, he was out. Why do my kids love the swaddle so much?! DS1 would still love being swaddled if I would do it. At bed time he pulls both arms into his shirt.

    Crap. I have ran out of diapers in the guest house and the rest of my diapers are in my parents house or in their wash. I grabbed the wrong keys last night when I went to bed and now my keys are in their house. Please wake up soon grandma and grandpa!!
