My freezer died and my whole stash that I worked for was gone! Mh calculated it to be 7.5 gallons down the drain

honestly idk what I was going to do with it though Colton won't drink frozen milk.

I think people who don't like historical romances are lying.

I love talking about my kid here but in real life I HATE it when it's all someone wants to talk about. Granted I love being told my kid is cute on a daily basis but when talking to other adults I also appreciate adult conversation

I love birthday cake flavored stuff! Haven't tried the Oreos or M&Ms though. My favorite thing to make is birthday cake Rice Krispies!
Omg, I waaaaaant that! Go ahead and whip some up and send it over. I'll wait by my mailbox;). That's the problem I love birthday cake flavored stuff done right, but lately I'm not impressed. The oreos are actually yummy.

It's so easy! Just add yellow mix to the marshmallows, and sprinkles to the Rice Krispie!

@‌Bunnyfungo I wear her most of the time, unless we are going out to eat. I'm notorious for dropping food on her head!

FYI Target has it on sale this week plus a cartwheel offer for 20% off. I'm buying it as an early birthday present for myself. In the meantime I'm going to reread the last book.

STUCK IN THE BOX
I was SO SAD for you when I read that you lost all of that milk, especially bc I think of the torture you went through to pump it.
However, I have to say that that last part made me LOL. You maybe weren't trying to be funny, but it sounded funny that you had all that milk but no purpose bc little man won't even drink it! Will you start a new freezer stash or live on the edge with @cdnmomma‌ and I?!

Lol I will be living on the edge! And yeah it's ok to laugh gotta find the humor when stuff like this happens hell Colton isn't even Intrested in the bottle anymore I only pump maybe 3 times a day.

I don't think tummy time is as crucial as its made out to be. Yes, you probably shouldn't let your baby languish on his back all day, but getting into a tizzy over the amount of time he spends on his tummy or exactly what counts and doesn't count as tummy time is silly.

I read somewhere that it doesn't make that much of a difference. LO hates being on his tummy for more than a minute at any time, and we don't do it every day. Doc said at his appointment that his development is right on track. He can hold his head up at 90 degrees on his tummy and do mini push ups and all that happy crappy. Tummy time is not "crucial".

I think people should be more considerate of people with babies (holding doors, getting out of the way of a stroller, offering seat when your holding a baby, etc). This stems from the asshole who let a door close on me at a restaurant almost hitting the carrier.

AGREED AND WHY THE HELL does my local J.C.penny NOT have an automatic door. Its super hard to get out with a stroller.

I purposely park at the target at my mall just because of the automatic door

@ProudMommy030614‌ sorry about your stash…that would be painful! Other than the milk i pumped for my nephew I've had to dump every bottle I've pumped for M because she just will not take a bottle…its painful to watch that milk go down the drain. i might pump later for cereal etc but until then I'm on a pumping strike!

cdnmomma · July 2014

@kirotea hold up wait a minute. What's that you say now? I can still freeze it for later? What if it had been refrigerated first, so already been cooled once and then warmed?

cdnmomma · July 2014

@Rad&Co‌ brutal!!!

I'm really tired of seeing all the "when are you going to have another" posts. It depresses me. My husband and I REALLY wanted 2 or 3 kids, and since my IF diagnosis, we weren't even sure 1 would be a reality. Now that he is here, I'm so grateful and blessed, but there is a part of me that is very sad that we may not be able to give him a sibling. I know it's no one else's fault that I can't get pregnant on my own, but those posts are just another reminder of something that may never happen for us. I don't want to be one and done, and I get angry and depressed that that choice was ripped away from us. (Posting this makes me think I need another therapy session.)

I have those feelings too. We want at least one more one day and are lucky to have frozen embryos remaining. But that doesn't mean any will actually be a take home baby.
Although we are thrilled with our little girl, I don't think the IF feelings will ever go away. My heart still breaks every time I hear a pregnancy announcement, especially when they also say it was a surprise. I'm happy for them, but sad for us.
I'm dreading when the "when will you have another?" questions start coming up IRL...

This is exactly me!!! We have some friends, more my husband's friend that are about to have their baby. I don't know it for a fact, but I'm pretty sure they decided to start trying as soon as we announced we were pregnant, and we were very open about our IF struggles. They had told us they weren't going to start trying until January. We announced in August, and they announced in November (conceived in October). They are that couple that seems to always be in competition with us. I hate IF, and it never goes away. My "IF" brain has carried over to LO! Every time he sniffles or coughs, I freak out thinking something is wrong with him. IF is something I have had to just give over to The Lord, and seek out therapy. I'm better than I was, but will always be a work in progress. It's like a loss I will always grieve, does that make sense?

Oh, and we have already gotten the questions of "when are you going to have another?" It breaks my heart every single time! I'm just really honest and say that we are so blessed to have Luke, and we may not be able to have another, that we will just have to wait and see!

This x 1000.

IF feelings never go away, even when you have two beautiful daughters.
