Really getting used to this baby wearing business. I wore LO during my sister's lobster boil last night, and again this morning during our trip to Target. I find it works best for us while out shopping/hanging out with friends, or if I really need to get housework done (that doesn't involve bending over). I love my Boba wrap

Sex and the city movie when Steve and Miranda have to meet in the middle of the Brooklyn bridge if they want to be together.. I am sobbing over here! Wtf?

Am
I
Pregnant?

Emily041285 · July 2014

I guess that's true, I could start now. It's not like there's a law that says you have to start in the beginning right?

Hmmm, now I need to convince DH they are too cute not to use!

TMI but I need to know-anyone else have...issues...when trying to use a tampon again?

Sighhh

Oh man I really am not looking forward to that again!

Emily041285 · July 2014

Yes @dani+california‌! But it got easier.

mrscrcalli · July 2014

Hangovers are so not cool when you can't just lay around sleep and eat it off... I keep trying to convince LO he wants to take a nap.. But he just wants to party

Am I the only one who doesn't use the buckles for my swing or RnP? I realize they are there for a reason but I'm too lazy to buckle her in every time since she in and out of them all day.........

@dani+california‌ a little gross but last time I licked the tampon before I inserted so it was moist. An RN can weigh in on whether that's sanitary

I think I'm a little dyslexic and read this in a way that almost made me vomit

rtv3 · July 2014

DD is napping and I have a million things to do. Instead I'm just letting her nap on me while I bump. We both have colds so I think a little snuggle time is totally called for

rockstarlaw · July 2014

My little guy is 8wks. I definitely do not love nursing. I am sticking with it because I am (1) stubborn and (2) cheap, but I cannot wait until the day comes when my boobs and/or nipples do not feel uncomfortable or in pain for one reason or another. Sigh. Maybe in 2 weeks I'll change my tune? One can hope. I'm also hoping the pumping at work will give my nipples enough of a break that I just might start to love the evening breast feeding. We shall see...

My friend named her baby Toby. Another friend sent him baby cut-off jeans so he will never be nude.

Best baby present ever.
I think I miss the joke

Arrested Development, right??

hordol · July 2014

I find I love nursing more than I thought too. I think what I love most about it is that when DS is freaking out and I can't figure out why, I can just put him on the boob and that will work 95% of the time. I'm so glad I stuck with it during the tough phase for that reason alone.

*this* It still isn't totally pain free at 11 weeks, but I love that I always have a failsafe when LO is upset. I feel like moms who feed with bottles must, in a way, be better at parenting since they can't (I don't think?) just feed whenever LO is fussy and have to go about other ways of soothing.

I love just having that sweet cuddle time, too

Bahaha amazing! My issue, and I tried twice before freaking out and giving up, was that it wouldn't stay in. Cue me crying to DH that I'm now like parking a bicycle in an airplane hangar.

I prefer the imagery of "throwing a hot dog down a hallway." ;-)
But regardless, it'll get better. KEGELS!

I wanna play! Who's my bump twin?

I used to get you and @acaawkward confused. I always confused all the mamas. Lalamama, lilmama, lillady... and I used to confuse aviola and avion.

Same thing about aviola and avion. I also got AcaAwkward and Twirple confused because of thei avatars.

Just successfully showered with DD for the first time ever. I sense a much better smelling future ahead of me

mrscrcalli · July 2014

I haven't colored myself in a while but I used to use feria black/blue or chocolate cherry..

Pros, cover your eyes.

Anyone else, rec your hair color in a bottle. It's been years since I've DIYed, something needs to be done, and I can't afford to pay someone.

I buy whatever is on sale at target, usually garnier or herbal essences. I often choose my color based on what's on clearance... Not kidding.

cnbean · July 2014

DS is such a prince. If his bottle isn't warm enough he won't eat. I've seriously had to get up in the middle of a feeding just to warm it back up!

BiggerinRealLife · July 2014

Skipping a lot of posts to say hello! I bought stuff today! Upgrading all the stuff that has broken since we married eight years ago. Which meant babysitter! Josie's second! And I may have had a little bit of wine...

JessieAlbin · July 2014

I'm really grateful that my son isn't (usually) pissed off by the boogie squeezer. He wakes up puking and sputtering through his nose, I wipe him up and boogie squeeze the vom out of his nose, he snuggles me and is back to sleep in less than ten minutes. No melt down. Way to be chill, kid.

speechie517 · July 2014

Screw transitioning baby to her nursery. Between her grunting and wiggling and DH's snoring, I can't sleep. I think I might transition myself to the nursery.

mandacann · July 2014

@spano41‌ I don't use the buckles either. Ain't nobody got time for that.

@jellysparkles‌ I like Loreal brand hair colors the best.

@spano41‌ we only use the buckles on the mamaroo because she's come close to kicking herself right off of it! But the RNP? why in the hell does it even have buckles? If she got herself out of that we'd have a future Olympic gymnast on our hands. Or future Chuck Norris. Either way.

I use the buckles because if I didn't she'll kick herself to the bottom where she'll be chin-to-chest.

chichi589 · July 2014

pumping at work definitely helped me enjoy breast feeding at home more @rockstarlaw‌ hopefully it does for you too! He was 3 months on Friday but I've been back at work since he was 8 weeks and I've enjoyed it for awhile now. Bumping in bed while my LO stares at the iPad. Mom of the year!

aha! That makes sense. DD is pretty long so she's fine being in the bottom.

We just had to start using the buckles this week in the swing. I had left the room for 30s and she had wiggled to the bottom and her legs were off the end almost to her hips.

chichi589 · July 2014

@Leeroy80‌ I promise it gets better it took a lot of uncomfortableness to get to that point though

AWing my new summer-weight ring sling! Single layer linen, with accent fabric at the rings and making pockets on the tail. Finished it last night, testing it out today!

ambarnett1 · July 2014

@poru If I understand what you were talking about, then I had a similar problem that was noted at my 6 weeks pp visit. My OB cut the little piece of skin off. She told me that sometimes a small piece of vaginal tissue gets sewn on the outside instead of the inside. If that's not what you're describing then I am very sorry for the visual.

michaelad3 · July 2014

@Leeroy80‌ I'm also 10 weeks pp and we haven't even attempted yet. I thought it would be okay, but I've been having weird vag pain for no reason the last few days, so now I'm super nervous. Things are definitely different.

snowbound · July 2014

I haven't tried because DH is gone but I'm definitely petrified and dreading the moment he brings it up when he get home.

Eta: I changed my SN which used to be "hbell12"

What were the dimensions of the linen? I need a summer one

Two yards, width trimmed down to about 33 inches. I'm short though, if you're tall you might want it a bit longer.

mandacann · July 2014

We didn't DTD until over 12 weeks pp and it was fine. At first I was so tense that it was uncomfortable but we took a break, started over and then it was actually good.

I just made a water sling out of atheletic mesh!

Where did you get the mesh?? That was my initial plan but I couldn't find any.

RedDawnsRevenge · July 2014

So I went and took a shower. Came back out sat on the couch and DH is giggling to himself. The giggling started to make me mad, since he wasn't telling me why he was laughing. I was starting to get seriously annoyed, so I picked up the iPhone to bump. When I unlocked it I figured out why DH was laughing. Moral of the story don't leave your phone alone with DH because when you come back they'll be a penis on it!

RedDawnsRevenge · July 2014

I guess we need to watch WSS because now I'm totally confused. Not sure how it could be related to Sweeney Tod... Is there a godfather I'll cut up up and make you into a pie element?

RedDawnsRevenge · July 2014

For real that would be an epic plot twist

hlm184 · July 2014

I just snapped this picture. The cuteness is overwhelming!

rockstarlaw · July 2014

@celticlullaby‌ - good explanation. I understand & can agree with that. Sometimes BFing is a major pain in the tit, if you will, but there are elements of it that do make me feel awesome - like the fact that my little dude is becoming a chunk. All on my milk. And when he smiles at me while he's eating or when I can calm him down by nursing, I do love that. But it still hurts sometimes (aches is probably a better word) and I still struggle with engorgement & for some reason recently started leaking a lot more (WTH??), so it's certainly not all rainbows & unicorns over here!

And I will admit I do look forward to someday having my body "back" - or at least not being a milk cow (nutrition center as SO likes to call me)
