UHHHHHH I heard crying from the swing, then sucking. So I turned to him... The wubbanub paci was back in his mouth. Mr. Giraffe (our wub), what kind of voodoo is this?! And please do it every time.
Mr Froggy does this for us too! Although now if the pacifier is out of reach she'll suck on whatever appendage of his is close. Gross, but it works so I'm over it...
Seriously, Leap 2? You wait until we are 5 days until the end before rearing your ugly head? You dirty tease, I thought we were going to sail right through.
Parenting fail today: driving to Iowa to see DH's family. Passed by a waste management truck and commented how smelly it was. Two hours later we stop to eat. Major blow out from dd. All over her, her clothes, and the car seat. Poor girl had been sitting in it the entire time....
I NIP today at the zoo, without a cover! In a year and a half of nursing dd, I never NIP...not once. But I can't just put things on hold now and go somewhere to hide out. Nobody noticed or cared. :-) now I just need to keep it up!

@AllyxCore85 my LO went through this too, and I agree, with @purespark it is no fun. I ended up eliminating dairy from my diet, and it is definitely helping a ton. I think a lot of his problem was he was expecting his belly to start hurting, and hence the angry hesitation.
I bought a Butterfinger 2-piece candy bar the other day to splurge on before I started my diet today and then forgot about it. My elegant solution was to eat one piece and give the second piece to my DD. I figured that was being responsible. Then I realized that instead of being a responsible dieter, I had become an irresponsible dieter and irresponsible parent.

I'm feel craftsy, apparently, so I have two questions.
How hard is to make your own ring sling? It feels like I could make myself a mesh sling for less than $30, or should I suck it up and pay?
I have a friend struggling with supply, so I ordered some brewers yeast to make her cookies. I can use any recipe, just add yeast and work in as much oatmeal as possible, right? Any flavors or ingredients I should stay away from or try to work in? I thought I saw someone say mint is bad?
That's what I was told. Hasn't hurt my supply yet. But blueberry is awesome with coffee in the mornings.
FFWC I like to complain to DH that Sullivan wants to take his naps on me during the day so that it looks like I am distressed about not getting anything done except ensuring his nap, when in reality I love the nap AND the snuggles. I think he is catching on.
@dani+california - one thing I've learned? Grandparents love spending time with their grand kids. The 12th if next month is several weeks away. And if they done want to, they can say no. But a couple hours one night so you can go get dinner? I bet they jump at the chance. There's no harm in asking!
True! Guess it can't hurt. I'm not used to asking people for things so it makes me uncomfortable! I'll make DH ask. Haha
I suck at asking for help too. But just tell yourself that you're really asking for your LO's sake. Happy mama=happy baby I've definitely noticed that if I don't make time for myself I have less patience with DD.
It is kinda fun scrolling through random thoughts from November.. Anatomy scans for days of these sweet little guys and gals who are smiling for pictures now!
DD is napping on my bed. I have a million little things I should be doing, but I'm just laying here next to her, bumping and staring at her cuteness...

Meee!! I didn't start watching until 2010 though. I just watched the twist reveal on The Talk.
Yay!!! Oh I didn't see it. I'm not into spoilers, but I love me some BB!!! My mil is online all the time while the show is on for spoilers. My DH is just happy it's in HD this year. FINALLY!
I know!! My MIL is always on Joker's immediately after HOH or veto comps to see who wins. She always asks me if I want to know, and I'm like noooo! I can't tell you how many times she's "unintentionally" spoiled something for me. :-q

So P and I are out to dinner in this small town while DH is at a work function.. This girl like my age 30 or so walks up and squeezes his cheeks together out of nowhere! He was sleeping!!! And he woke up!!! I jumped and she was like " sorry I'm the baby person around here" I was like " that was not appropriate I'll have the check" I'm heated

What the fuck?! Who comes up and squeezes a baby?? I'm pissed for you.
There's a warrant out for a woman's arrest who had her baby in a local hospital and stole it shortly after testing positive for meth. I hope that poor baby is found! What a terrible situation.

Two poops! Big ones! All on her own!!! First time in three weeks without a suppository! Prune juice is working, and I had yet another appointment with the doctor today about the gas and everything. Not colic, not a food intolerance, but we're going to try limiting some common trigger foods and giving a probiotic just in case. We need to do something. Poor girl is in mega pain! Still, hoping that pooping in her own means we're turning a corner. She did a teeny amount yesterday just as I was about to give her a suppository, then another minute amount 24 hours later, then the two full diapers tonight. FX this is a trend and I don't have to keep shoving things up her bum!
In related news, Bambo diapers are officially awesome and my favorite. (We've been using disposables at night to help her STTN.) Contained that liquid mess real nice.

I had a job briefly where I taught those classes, and it was brutal. Trying to keep whiny drinking women on track long enough to finish a painting in the allotted time.. Those photo ops make me cringe!
I feed on demand and both yesterday and today he's gone over 5 hours without eating during the day. Today he ate at 4:30a, 10a, 3:30p, 7:30p, 10p. He's still wetting/pooping like usual, but my boobs don't seem to be producing any more than normal. I also swaddled him for a nap and he slept 4p-7:30p! Long nap this morning too. Happy as can be during awake times- just a drool machine. Thankful that I felt like I finally got a break today. I needed it.
