It's amazing to me how a little bit of spit up happens and DH is all,"we must change everything he's wearing now, possibly even bathe him (at 6am no less)!" and I'm like,"......meh, he's fine". Either I'm lazy or DH had OCD.

FFTC: DS spit up all over DH's side of the bed after DH went to work. I just wiped it up. The sheets are getting washed tomorrow. Too bad.

Mine does this to. I'm like she's just going to do it again, and again....

The moment you stub your toe while putting the baby down after an epic 90 minute nursing session...

And we're back on the boob for another 20 minutes and counting...
I stubbed my toe this morning, too! Broke the nail in a very unpleasant way. Time to bust out an emery board...

Loving out of commisery...

Why am I still up? DD has been sleeping for 3 hours. I've been sniffing out drama on other boards. Looks like Vinny got the ball rolling with drama on jan 14 https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12386206/gender-scan#latest
11 pages?! Lol wow.

It's pretty funny how so many are like, "OMG I canNOT wait two weeks to learn the sex! I will pay $1000 to know right this second!". I mean, I was excited too, but seriously it is not that big of a deal. Calm yoself.

i wasted my life on 7 pages. I can't do anymore (I totally can and will). What cray cray bizniss.

Just bought tickets to take the boys to Maui in October! Either really brave or really stupid... Grandparents are coming though.

DS fell asleep on the bed next to me (after another wild night). I'm currently slooooooowly easing myself to the edge of the bed so I can get up without him noticing. Mom has to pee!!

Teresa1896 · July 2014

Our good friends are getting married and breaking all the "rules." Facebook invites, registering for money for home improvements/honeymoon, etc. I'm not a huge stickler for etiquette, but I'm having a hard time with the FB invite thing!

Xxlilies · July 2014

@dani+california‌ I always think my guy eats too much too but he ll refuse it if he doesn't want it and will puke if over fed or so I am told
My ugh eats 5-7 oz at a time about every four hours . He's eaten 8 oz a couple times as well

RedDawnsRevenge · July 2014

I'm to small for these 12s and 8 is to small and for some reason my target doesn't gave any 10s. These keep falling below my c-belly and rubbing on the scar. So in out walking the girls my pants fall down and shirt riding up and my belly flopping about.

I've been lurking lately. Feeling like I need to back off from social media and such. Let's see...... I don't touch naps. Especially not this young. I'll deal with a later than usual evening if it's a super late nap, but DD sleeps all the time still it feels like, so whatever. I LOVE my Alva's. Love. They are cheap, but they have held up awesome. I really want to get some girlie ones now for DD. I love my fitteds lately. Way more than my prefolds. 10w today and I really need to get back into my cloth routine/starting it with DD. Here's a happy baby in her fitted.

I have gender neutral Alvas for Merri too and I REALLY want something girly for her. I mean, I love the dinosaurs and everything...makes her fierce and stuff...but sometimes I just want her to be girly...and not mistaken for a little boy!

Quick, give me ideas for salmon dishes.

I had dinner all planned out, told DH to pull some halibut out of the freezer last night. I go to get it marinating and it turns out he grabbed an old salmon fillet instead of my nice halibut. Boo.

snowbound · July 2014

I spent all day yesterday making this cute graphic to put on a onesie for when DH came home. It looked good on the computer but once I transferred it to the shirt, it's all effed up looking because I'm dumb and the colors aren't as vibrant. So sad. I wish Etsy wasn't so dang pricey or I would've just bought an embroidered one!

Mango salsa salmon? Think I got the recipe from AllRecipes.com.

Usually I'd do that but I don't have the supplies on hand and we're cutting down hard on grocery bills, so gotta work with what I've got.

@AprilMay9 inspired me and I've got a teriyaki marinade going with sriacha cream sauce. DH doesn't like sriacha, but thats' what he gets for not paying attention and grabbing the halibut!

LaBelle0412 · July 2014

My quick salmon: sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning somewhat heavily over room temp salmon. Bake at 375 for about 30 min depending on thickness. After 10 min of baking throw in some good veggies with Italian seasoning and evoo drizzled on top to roast for the final 20 min (my favs are broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, asparagus (takes 10 min)).

This is actually how I got my UTI. Damn maternal instinct to care for my baby over myself

Awwww! Nooooo! One of many ultimate sacrifices you're making for your LO. Hope it's all cleared up. UTIs are the worst.

It's national Piña Colada day!!!

RedDawnsRevenge · July 2014

Finally this kid rolled over!!! Was starting to get worried. She's way behind where her sister was at this age.

hlm184 · July 2014

Had some fabric scraps to use up, made this. I even did most of the sewing while DS slept in the Ktan on me, AND he slept for more than thirty minutes. Double win!

Skipping a few pages.. Second day back to work. It's hard

But H sent me a picture of P this morning when I left.. That made me pull over and sob

I miss my baby!

I learned today that my friends who already have 5 children are adopting 2 and get to pick them up this weekend! The adoption timeline got pushed up for some reason.
Also, his wife is pregnant. But not far along. They are keeping that on the DL so the first months with their adopted kids won't be overshadowed by the pregnancy.

8! 8 children! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Are they getting a reality show? I cannot fathom having that many kids! They must be some amazing people!

I would totally do this but Ca has crazy adoption laws, we've been turned down in the past. I just really don't understand why kids need their own room if all the toys are going to be in the living room and they sleep in my bed anyway. Think I'm going to be turning The girls room into my knitting room.

Their own room? Fuck that. I could understand if they said they didn't want four or five to a room but their own? Silly

We actually got turned down for having a floor heater. They said it wasn't safe and a kid could burn themselves on the grate. My evil ass cat slept on top of the grate...so obviously not hot. Now that we have central air and the heater has been removed we would be turned down for not having enough space. It's like these people have never heard of bunk beds? They'd rather have these kids in the system I guess.

misskristina21 · July 2014

I feel the need to post in here too because I have no IRL friends who have children.

So I just need to say that I made a pie and then I tripped over a toy and dropped it. I cried for 10 minutes. And hi everyone who doesn't post in RTT 2.0!

RedDawnsRevenge · July 2014

That's horrible, poor pie.

Edit: I'd so eat the parts that weren't touching the floor...

I'd totally be down with having 8 kids

But then DH and I are both one of six kids sooo... :-P

Also SIL just told me she's KU! She's due in February. I'm so excited

We get along really well and it'll be awesome to have kids so close. She has 2 boys, 1 and 4, so I'm hoping it's a girl this time around

Oh man when I read this the first time I understood "H sent me a picture of *HIS* P". And I wondered why seeing his penis would make you pull over and cry.... :S

This girl apparently needs to get her head back on straight...

ETA hang on lady, I'm sure being back without your little is rough

Any one have a return flare up of their SPD? Just went for a walk and that was very unpleasant.

rtv3 · July 2014

For some reason my previous post re-posted. Weird.

Anyways, made it through the grocery store with out a melt-down so that was cool :-)

Tferr02 · July 2014

My son has breastmilk sprayed all over his face, but I can't reach the burp cloth right now and he doesn't seem to mind. Does it ever calm down? Or will I be able to spray the other side of the room until I quit bf?

What does it feel like? I've been walking a ton recently and have been having pain. I didn't have any during pregnancy though. Reading through google symptoms it sounds pretty dead-on.

It feels just like it did when I was pregnant. Like my pubic bones are rubbing on each other or being pryed (sp?) apart depending on the movement.

Teresa1896 · July 2014

@RedDawnsRevenge‌, that sounds like what I've been feeling. I have been climbing stairs a ton at work and that seems to have brought it on. Hopefully it goes away on its own.

I have had an upset stomach all afternoon. I totally just took some of LO's gripe water. In my defense there is adult dosage listed on the bottle. I don't really know that it is helping any.

It's been shown to be less effective than placebo in clinical trials. Kelly mom had a great article yesterday about a new study that shows colic may actually be infant migraines.
