iPhone app isn't letting me attach pictures. Am I the only one?

Android isn't either, if I want to attach I have to do it through the mobile site.

Thanks @kirotea ! You're amazeballs for putting that all together.

Good luck @Woodshopgirl !!!!!

I have a FFFC but don't think I'll remember by Friday so I'm just going to leave it here. When I met my husband and we weren't together yet I was also seeing this other gentleman, he was going to be gone in 6 months due to work but we were in it for the fun....lets just say that was an amazing yet stupid decision, hearts were broken but everything worked out the way it should.

So fast forward to last night I had a dream I wen't a visited him with Sharkie. I hate when dreams are TOO REALISTIC and its like it could happen. I just cuddled but I still feel so damn guilty. I guess because even in the dream I wanted to do the deed. Did I mention he's a 10? He's the perfect guy (amazing personality, good looking, good job) but I chose my husband because...well my heart did

Unfortunately its been 3 months since hubs has left and realistically 6-1/2 months since I have real sex. 3rd trimester he got squeamish....I don't blame him, Sharkie rammed him in the dick during sex once so yeah, and post birth he tried but more for me....it wasn't gratifying because it was apparent he wasnt into it.

So now I'm having crazy dreams of exes and sex and obviously don't want to tell anyone I know IRL about it....but seriously...should I just enjoy the hot virtual sexing? Because right now I feel guilty as heck....especially this last dream where it wasn't even sex which some how made it feel worse.

Phew....Needed that out (thanks ladies)

I just lurked on M15 IT makes me sad that that board is already taking off.... I can believe its been almost a year I found out I was KUed !

karen31186 · June 2014

Since a lot of you ladies were talking about it, I went and look at M15 board. Not a smart move. It makes me so sad that I'll never get to go through pregnancy again since we're done having kids

ntdane · June 2014

I keep reading a bunch of new replies and waiting until I'm done to respond, but then I get sidetracked by one of the babies and I never get there! I'll keep up in responses one of these days!

@WoodShopGirl‌ I hope your first day went well!

@babycaps‌ and all the other mamas who returned to work this week, I hope things keep getting easier!

coreyeliz · June 2014

Today I really wish I could quite my job. I'm too busy and stressed right now to look for a new one, and too trapped by DH's student loans to not have one at all. Sorry to be whiny.

ntdane · June 2014

AW: Owen finally broke the 10 lb mark at almost 19 weeks! He's such a skinny peanut! I'm glad our new supplement plan is working. Keira still outweighs him by a pound but he's starting to gain faster now!

coreyeliz · June 2014

Can anyone else send app feedback from their phone? I tried to do it to add my voice to the many complaints I'm sure they're getting, but trying to send feedback just kicks me out. SO frustrating!

coreyeliz · June 2014

@CHPhotoMama‌ Yay! You rock! It's funny that he hopes you're enjoying the app so far. At least a solution should be coming.

SurpriseAt39 · June 2014

I'm home with the kids while DH headed to baseball only to arrive and find out it was cancelled. X(

So, he stopped to get groceries.

one less thing for me to do this week.

LO is asleep. I-) DS1 is playing with his cars.

ProudMommy030614 · June 2014

New app sucks!!!! I couldn't open anything on it.

coreyeliz · June 2014

LO has been sleeping since 7:00. At first I thought it was a late evening nap, but now she's in her RnP for the night. It looks like we're going to try sleeping without a swaddle tonight. Could be in for an interesting night.

Sanibel21 · June 2014

@coreyeliz‌ good luck! I'm really dreading breaking LO of the swaddle. It is hot as blazes and we don't have ac's in yet. But she couldn't even fall asleep rocking without it. So she's just in a diaper with just the top part fastened. I dunno if this is such a bright idea though!
What do all you southerners do about swaddling and heat??

I went to open a thread and got a message that they're experiencing unexpected load. I hate when that happens.

DRFleener · June 2014

@Sanibel21‌ air conditioning! In south Texas we keep our houses pretty cold to combat the humidity....

myfriendscallmemeg · June 2014

Started Orange is the New Black. Thinking that maybe the tickle in the back of my throat is enough to keep me bedridden tomorrow.

mamamia866 · June 2014

LO hasn't pooped in 9 days. If he doesn't go today, I'm getting a baby suppository. When I called the doc last time this happened at 8 days, he said to give a suppository. H says to let him go to 14 because he's done "a lot of research on it" (aka googled). So I said "yea, but you're not a doctor. You try going 14 days without pooping."

babylimas · June 2014

WWYD? Will was on Gerber Gentle and got sick - very gassy and constipated. We switched to Enfamil Gentleease and he did great. Pedi thinks he is lactose intolerant and he has reflux not medicated. Had to switch to Gerber so pedi told us to use Gerber Soothe because it's equivalent. After his second bottle of Soothe he started spitting up which turned into throw up. Projectile yellow throw up multiple times in a row. We are at the cardiologist all morning but I can grab a can of his old formula on the way. What do I do?? Would you automatically assume the Gerber caused that? I will talk to his nutritionist at the hospital today but I'm not sure what to do before then. Ifi should stop the Gerber immediately or keep trying.

I would go back to gentle ease if that worked. Or see if you can get reflux meds and use that with Gerber? Sorry you're dealing with this.

babycaps said:
@babylimas, ask he doc to prescribe the enfamil formula that works. I believe you said you had to switch due to insurance? If so, a prescription should help!

It's WIC - he gets a non-income based Medicaid for his disabilities. She tried to get them to accept her prescription but it was denied. They will cover the specialty formulas but not the basic Enfamil and Similac. I left her a message this morning to see about switching and I'm seeing his nutritionist this morning so hopefully we can get it sorted out!

SomersIsles · June 2014

@babylimas Maybe try it for 2 more meals and see if it continues. Hopefully you find a solution soon!

lazyreader · June 2014

@torilea‌ we oil every 3ish days. Never did lotion.
Ps- also works miracles at the end of my shower for dry legs.

myfriendscallmemeg · June 2014

I've got the remnants of a roasted chicken in my fridge. My throat is burning like the fires of Mordor, so all I want to do is leave work & go make some chicken noodle soup!

(

coreyeliz · June 2014

@babylimas - It's crazy that they won't cover the formula he needs. Even when brands are supposed to be equivalent, I feel like there's always a difference in an ingredient or two. Do you have other insurance that might help cover it? Or is that trumped by the WIC? I hope you find a solution that works for Will!

coreyeliz · June 2014

Fingers crossed @bunnfungo!!!

SurpriseAt39 · June 2014

My kid better grow 6 inches this week. I have been feeding him almost constantly today and I'm tired!!!

babylimas · June 2014

@pepperedmoth - tomorrow is our urology consult to set up the procedure. The "dewebbing" if you will. Then I can no longer refer to it as Will's Wonky Wiener. I'll think of you all day.

rockopera · June 2014

@bunnyfungo Go for it!!!. I know it's hard to feel disloyal for looking elsewhere, but this is business. Your boss wouldn't be your boss if he didn't pursue opportunities. Good luck!!!

I'm not around as much because job. Super busy and not a lot of downtime. And I'm trying to spend more time with DH and M in the evenings, and then go to bed at a decent time.

So, today is the first day I am stopping pumping. I think it's time. 4 pumps yesterday and I only got 4 oz. and getting in 4 pumps is getting harder. I made it 3 months supplementing some breastmilk in, and that's good. But the cost/benefit on it is finally at the tipping point. I'm sad. I know it's okay, I had to get over not being able to EBF or even BF awhile ago. But this is so final. Definitely sad.

WoodShopGirl · June 2014

Coming up for air after a good first 2 days. Thanks everyone for the well wishes.

The new job is good and Asher has been surviving daycare. It is a little hard leaving him, but I admit that I am happy for the adult time too.

@bunnyfungo good luck and I hope the 2 depts have to fight over you!

@babylimas‌ good luck for will's consult. I don't think he would appreciate the pet name when he is in his teens.

@babycaps and @Jt7dreamz‌ and anyone else who returned to work this week, I hope it is good.

pepperedmoth · June 2014

@bunnyfungo‌ good luck!

@babylimas‌ and @babycaps‌ have fuuuuuuun! I will think of you too!

coreyeliz · June 2014

@bunnyfungo - Good luck! Can't wait to hear what ends up happening.

My babylegs came in the mail today. I can't even handle the cuteness! I might be addicted to these things now.

wildhoney4508 · June 2014

Because of you ladies, I downed a Ben and Jerry's cookie dough pint last night! (But, no cookie bowl

) :-SS

ntdane · June 2014

@bunnyfungo‌ good luck!

If I remember right I think I will be in your area this weekend. We're headed to Omaha to visit friends we haven't seen in a few years. We're going to try taking everyone to the zoo, which could be tough but I'm looking forward to it!

ladyglittersparkles · June 2014

GL @bunnyfungo‌

SurpriseAt39 · June 2014

I feel so rested this morning. Yay me! \:D/

babylimas · June 2014

Just for future reference - don't take your 4 year old along to urology appointments. Way too many questions about "holes."

coreyeliz · June 2014

@babylimas - I just laughed way too loud in my office and the guy next door is looking at me strangely.

ntdane · June 2014

bunnyfungo said:
@ntdane‌ Yup, I'm in Omaha! The zoo is amazing, you won't be disappointed. You should sneak away and come visit me too

If I had any idea what our plans are I totally would!

Sanibel21 · June 2014

@addisonsmom22‌ I had to tell mil she puts LO to sleep too! She was leaving one day and was like "sure you're awake now!!" And the best response I could muster was "well you rock her so... good.."
@WisconsinCheese12‌ I felt all the feelies about your BFP anniversary too!
Yay for house closing @bunnyfungo!! And fingers crossed for the job!
I'm sorry @CHPhotoMama‌ about your bro. Hoping maybe it could be a wake up call to him.
LMAO @babylimas about hole questions.

I started back to work from home today. So far so good. LO has slept more than she ever has for me, go figure.

babylimas · June 2014

Ok so Will's little procedure is a bit more complicated than I thought. I thought it would just be kind of an extended circumcision with topical anesthetic. Nope it's an hour and a half surgery with full anesthesia. I was told they are tentatively scheduling it for outpatient but be prepared to stay overnight. Luckily (or not so luckily based on his mental capacity) it will be fully functional and normal looking when all is said and done.

Question for moms with Toddlers/Preschoolers and baby:

When getting a sitter, do you find that one sitter can handle both the baby and your older one?

I know H, my mom, and myself can do both kids on our own but I know my MIL couldn't do it. She can't divide her attention between the baby and not forget she has to still play and interact with DS1 who is only 3 and can be very jealous when ignored. So is she the anomaly or do I need to hire 2 sitters when H and I want a date night?

Lol. Are you talking about MY MIL?
She has already told me that she will take DS1 (19 months) any time I want/need a break.
But even when LO can stay with her, without me, she doesn't want both boys at once...and she HAS FIL with her.
(LO won't be staying with her for quite some time as I EBF and have no plans to pump except in emergency, so she won't be getting bottles...therefore wont be getting LO until he is on cows milk)
