Total brag moment: the goalie for the USA men's soccer team grew up in the town next to my hometown. Go USA!

Also @yellowbird219‌ that would drive me nuts, my sister and my cousins texting me constantly is enough!

katekat8721 · June 2014

My babies are growing! They're 6 lb and 5 lb 10 oz right now. They seem so chubby to us now, haha.

Brittnic531 · June 2014

Thank you everyone! The short: she's ok!!! She was having bowel issues and then her cord came off (and it smelled bad too)... There was a lot going on but the dr wasn't concerned and she seemed to be a lot better this afternoon. Unfortunately, she is at the max weight loss, so we have to use some formula and go back on Wednesday. Again, thanks for the thoughts and prayers!!! Here's a pic of Sawyer

@katburdette‌ Today is our two year anniversary as well

My parents stayed with Max so we could go to dinner and a movie. Hope you had a nice celebration

@katekat8721‌ - Thats great! But I think we are going to need to see some pics, just to see what his chubby baby cuteness for ourselves.

I don't remember who posted about doing "spider checks" before bed ( @katekat8721‌ maybe?) but HOLY SHIT I apparently need to start doing this. My dog was up on the bed and started sniffing out the sheet, I saw something scurry and DH grabbed it and brought it to the sink, he said the spider was about the size of a nickel. How the hell am I supposed to sleep tonight?! I made him shake EVERYTHING out after that

b48kate · June 2014

My husband just popped up outta nowhere with an In-N-Out vanilla shake. Now I must do the dance!

kbellizio3 · June 2014

@Rachel5130‌ spiders are like the biggest panic inducers for me, best believe the whole house will be checked lol. I didn't see how big it was, but all I heard DH say was " holy crap I can't believe that thing didnt bite me"

Yea...I almost cried

@wareagle1220‌ - sending you and the pup good vibes

Mia081081 · June 2014

@wareagle1220‌ - good vibes for you and your pup. Poor pup

@wareagle1220‌ sending good vibes!

My toddler hates clothes. She wakes up every morning and wants me to strip her naked. That wouldn't be a problem if she was even somewhat interested in potty training.

At least naked toddlers are cute.

Rocket man is over a pound up from birth weight at two weeks! I love my butterball babies

mrscbrad · June 2014

@Rachel5130 I'm pretty much over everything at this point. I find myself hating things for no good reason at all. I feel like we are all just beyond niceties of any kind right now.

rainbowdashh · June 2014

@Rachel5130‌ I think it's normal. I just want to be left alone. Good thing FIL and his wife decided to make the 10 hour drive to stay near us for 8 days starting on Sunday, right?

caitb413 · June 2014

@Rachel5130‌ That seems totally normal to me, only because I felt the same way in the last few weeks before LO was born. I didn't want to be ungrateful for their time and attention but I just wanted time to myself and time with my husband before our lives changed, and it felt like I wasn't getting to enjoy our last moments as a family of two since our energy was focused on visitors.

kbellizio3 · June 2014

@Rachel5130‌ nope. DH has a tendency to invite people over without asking me (normally NBD) but I was over it at about 38 weeks. So I've been sick of visitors for over 2 weeks now. I flipped one night about it and he didn't understand why. Last thing I want to do right now is entertain people.

@Rachel5130‌, I'm like that now being home with baby. I just want people to leave me alone with kid while we figure stuff out!

Im SO sick of visitors. I know people just want to meet baby but it's draining to make sure the house is tidy, I'm in clothes, the baby is clean and the dog doesn't bother visitors.

On top of this is all of the things people say. "Oh, she's not hungry, she just needs to be held/burped/given a pacifier/swaddled/changed." All I have done for the past 3 weeks is spend time with my baby. She is fucking hungry so just give her back to me unless you want to see what a tired and hormonal momma bear looks like.

Seriously. Even DF's go to is "I think he's just gassy". No, he's hungry. 90% of the time, if he's fussy, he's hungry.

Anyone else constantly think they hear their baby crying while they're showering?

I swear, I'm going crazy. But it's led me to master the 5 minute shower.

Not me BC I put the baby in the swing right in front of the bathroom while I shower, the sound of the water makes baby sleep every time

sumochik · June 2014

I'm a week and a half post c section and I still can't lay on my side... Why is this all I can think about?

I actually cried about this last week. LO was crying because she was hungry and I was told that she just needed to be rocked, as LO was in the middle of feeding.

I've been able to hold off on visiting and visitors thus far thank god. I'm prepping my husband for when the time comes by constantly telling him "I'm not a cow". His family thinks I only exist to BF and then they try to monopolize the baby. And it's too early for UO, but I hate when they hold my baby and baby comes back smelling like them/their perfume.

sparklenshine_89 · June 2014

I told dh months ago to "handle" his parents visiting. We live 9 hours away so yes they will have to get to us... And I wanted them to stay in a hotel bc my dh, I, soon to be 3 children live in about 300 sq ft RV. Ok so his mom, dad, brother, sister and her 1&5 year old kids want to come and visit in a month and stay with us. Do they not freakin realize that I do not have the space! And it's not like they plan to help. They plan to vacation for here for 1 week. Meaning I will have to do all the cooking, cleaning, entertaining etc. while I'm going to be up all night and dh will most likely be gone on a fire assignment. It's going to be over 100+ degrees and so damn crowded. Wtf?! Dh does not understand why I'm pissed off about this. I know for a fact they will not help bc we had them stay with us for a week (in our RV) minus the baby and his brother. And I was exhausted then...and I wasn't even pregnant yet.

My solution is to "split" this group in half and have them come at separate times bc I can manage that. But they want to save money and come up in a giant group.

This is insane. Just, no. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this (or even explain it to your H)!

sparklenshine_89 · June 2014

@jclester614 it's seriously like he doesn't remember last year. He was only home for 2 days out of the week they had visited and he hated it, he was so happy to leave back on his fire assignment while I had to spend another 5 days with them. Then he gets mad saying that I just don't want his family to visit... And I'm just telling him not all at once bc it's a ridiculous amount of people.

DH just experienced LOs latch. He was rooting on DHs chest while I was getting ready to nurse and clamped down on his nipple. DH yelped out in pain, startled LO into a fit and made me laugh hysterically. I think he has a new appreciation for the pain of nursing.

That's hilarious!

Yes I second that wtf?!? Are they crazy? 300sq ft? No ma'am!

My mom left for a couple days today. I feel like throwing up. Not like she did much, we took care of the baby, but she was here in case we needed her. H goes back to work on Thursday and I'll be alone for that day. My anxiety level is so high.

sparklenshine_89 · June 2014

@sumochik seriously, it was hard enough fitting them all in here last year...but I was a trooper. However, there is supposed to be more people this time?! I'm hoping it doesn't work out or that they will decide to split the group

Ah thanks! I cried to H right after I posted. That made me feel better, just need to be open about my feelings.

HIS HAIR IS SO FLUFFY!!!

Lmao yea i think I'm gonna be THAT girl, the one who constantly aw/ss pics of her babies... lol

roadspeckle · June 2014

So LO seems to only be able to be settled by me. This is very frustrating for DH and I both as I need some free time and he wants to spend time with his son. Am I alone here? Does anybody have any suggestions? He has been eating a lot more than normal today and much more fussy. I thought maybe we had a handle on his colick/reflux but today was the day from hell.

jshrop · June 2014

@rachelnjacob‌ how old is he? Maybe you're approaching the first leap in the wonder weeks?

roadspeckle · June 2014

@jshrop‌ - he is five weeks today. what's the wonder weeks? I feel incredibly dumb.

It turns out my car is not very comfortable/practical with baby, so DH and I decided to trade it in for a new car. Would you guys be comfortable taking baby car shopping at a week old?

I hope they decide to as well. That is so inconsiderate! And DH has to get on board too with that plan. A newborn changes things ya know?

We'll be taking baby boy apartment hunting this weekend at 2 weeks old. Not ideal, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I think it would be a bit of a hassle because if you want to test drive you have to install the car seat base. Is there someone who could go with you and hang out with baby at the dealership for when you do the test drives?
