@elsa1688‌ - holy shit, I got anxiety reading your post til I got to the end and you guys were ok. How scary. For the record, I probably would have told those idiots off.

@elsa1688‌ - I have nightmares of this happening when I'm holding DD or have her in a carrier. Glad to hear you are both ok! What store was it at?

Ballard Fred Meyers. They did check on me a few times. Still scary.

I would have been a crying mess. I have a fear of falling while holding C. Glad you're both ok!

Thanks - I figure that I've never slipped at the grocery store before so I don't think it will happen again

@elsa1688‌ Slipping in flip flops holding DS is one of my biggest fears that one of our first outings was to kohls so I could get sandals that attach completely to my feet.

whoberry · July 2014

What websites are you guys using to share baby pics? I checked out Tweekaboo but they don't have an Android app yet and DH doesn't like that you need a password to log in because he thinks that is a pain in the ass. I don't really like shutterfly and I want to make it easy for family members that are not tech savvy.

steprozz · July 2014

DS1 will be spending the next few days at my parents house for "vacation" while I stay home and try to regain some sanity. now that we are putting cereal in Bennett's bottles he is able to go much longer between feedings and sleeping well which means I can spend some time bumping with my favorite ladies. I am way excited about this

katekat8721 · July 2014

I'm taking the girls to my company picnic today to see everyone... pray for us lol

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

I'm so hungry. C is having a hard day and I can't put him down. Anyone have suggestions on easy food I can eat one handed while holding my giant baby?

nunzchucks · July 2014

@elsa1688 I recommend filing a report with the store's insurance company. You are ok, but if anything randomly comes up, there needs to be a record.

@ricecakes1216‌ - pb&j or other sandwich? DH has made me a few smoothies, too. Fruit. Granola bars... trail mix... Cookies... these have been my go-to's.

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

We need to get a blender so I can make smoothies. I made "energy balls" that are yummy but I need more variety.

lest12 · July 2014

What are the energy balls?

tbmadeamistake · July 2014

I ran away from dh and am staying at my parent's house with the kids tonight. He'll come join us tomorrow, which is when we were all supposed to come down anyway. I already feel more relaxed that we won't argue tonight, because its become an almost nightly occurrence. I hate that I feel the need to escape, but thankful that I have some place to go and that dh understands when I need to. Now if only he could figure out a way for me to not need to...

elsa1688 · July 2014

@Lilygrace48‌ hugs to you!

My little sister just called to tell me about her internship. She is helping an LC and ghost writer with a book about baby's first year of life, with an emphasis on breastfeeding. She said "so know I totally understand what you are going through!". No, no you do not. You are a 22 year old college student who parties. You have no idea what pregnancy/childbirth/ breastfeeding is like.

lest12 · July 2014

Big hugs @Lilygrace48‌.

tbmadeamistake · July 2014

Thanks ladies!

lest12 · July 2014

@Lilygrace48‌ I hope you have a good time at your parents!

Also... maybe I'm thinking of someone else, but are you in MA too? This weather stuff is BS, I hope it doesn't ruin your plans! What a mess.

otter1103 · July 2014

I finally caught MJ doing her "Face Series" the middle bottom one cracks me up!

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

@lest12‌

My sister sent me the recipe in a picture. There are a lot of variations on Pinterst. They are also supposed to help lactation.

You combine all the ingredients, chill for 30 minutes and then roll into balls. Store in freezer so they don't get soft.

I didn't use trail mix, I used slivered almonds. You can adjust the amounts however you want. My sister adds cinnamon.

tbmadeamistake · July 2014

@lest12‌ I am in MA. My mom is in RI and I am currently listening to the wind pick up and the rain drift in and out. Luckily my only plans are to visit with an old friend who is home as well, and I can do that in the rain!

elsa1688 · July 2014

@yellowbird219‌ I would go and try to enjoy myself. I would wear the baby, let your SIL hold him if she wants and then pull a "Oh, he's just a little fussy" and not let anyone else hold him. Try and enjoy the holiday and don't overthink it.

just my two cents.

Poor LO sharts like crazy and his butt is so red and tender. I've been using desitin and/a&d and its not doing much. Anyone have suggestionsn what else to try? Maybe that Earth Mama stuff?

This sounds crazy but works wonders... Ponds cold cream mixed with milk of magnesia.

I agree.

babygabe614 · July 2014

We got 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep last night, and I got almost a whole oz when I pumped after LO's first feeding this morning. I am so, so happy that we are making some progress after beating myself up for the past few days over my supply issues (stupid, I know!)

babygabe614 · July 2014

@otter1103‌ Those faces are adorable! What is your LO sitting in in those pics? Is that a rock n play? I think we need something similar for my DD because it looks nice and snug.

Taymiller · July 2014

Murphy's belly button grossness fell off today, hooray!!

lest12 · July 2014

I saw Elsa and krystaj talking about their wedding rings... Does anyone else's rings still not fit? Mine doesn't and I'm wondering if my fingers are now permanently bigger.

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

@lest12‌
Mine doesn't.

I'm wondering if my fingers are going to stay plump as well. It really bugs me that I can't wear it right now.

lest12 · July 2014

@ricecakes1216‌ - it bothers me too. Hopefully we are still just retaining some water In our fingers... And maybe In my stomach... And In my legs... Lol Eta to make sense

Dharmatron · July 2014

@lest12 - I'm one month PP today and I still can't get my wedding rings on. I had to take them off around 30 weeks. I really hope I won't have to get them resized!

lest12 · July 2014

I hope we don't all have to get them resized! It's extra hard to tell because it's summer and the heat swells them a little anyway.

I tried this morning and they would not budge past the halfway point. The fake ring I bought that was getting pretty tight towards the end is now loose so I'm hoping I'm making progress.

Hopefully everyone gets their rings on soon without resizing.

Mia081081 · July 2014

Mine took about a month to fit again last time. They fit now at almost 3w pp, but are still tight.

For my (very petite) boss, it took 6 months before they for again.

This made me giggle out loud. : )

On an unrelated note, I feel like the only one still pregnant!!! Maybe I will start a thread to see who's left...

steprozz · July 2014

@StrawberryDreams219‌ LOVE!!

Dharmatron · July 2014

@StrawberryDreams219 - So cute! I love the colors.

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

Pumping in the car sucks. Yet another reason being able to breast feed would be so much easier. We practiced a lot yesterday and C seems to be getting better but we're not ready to try on public. Ugh.
