Saw a car yesterday while picking up dinner that had eyelashes on its headlights. I could swear someone else around here posted seeing something like that a while back. Is that becoming a thing now? If so, whyyy?? *facedesk*

Anytime y'all want to feel better about baby's being late on gross motor milestones I'm your girl. Or rather my daughter is.

chichi589 · July 2014

@Bailey'sbride‌ I'm so sorry it's such a hard horrible decision but your pup knows your love, get all your snuggles today.

rtv3 · July 2014

Hugs, @Bailey'sbride‌, that is hard. Just know you are making the right decision for you fur baby. Prayers as you go through this!

@BiggerinRealLife‌, lovetit for your writing test. I'm fairly certain you have a more than adequate grasp on the English language :P

I eat so many meals I'm practically a hobbit!

Yay, all caught up, hopefully I didn't miss anybody! Now back to the goodbye drama I go

Fffc: when I see people on here saying they are one and done I get sad. Only because they just poo poo'd on the chance that we could be apart of new bmb craziness together.

On the opposite side of the coin, I am sad to be two and through because it means that I can't be a part of the BMB craziness with any of you future pregos.

Bluebird2318 · July 2014

My daughter spends her first couple of minutes after waking up in the morning being a whiny, hangry, tired little ball of frustration. She's just like her mama. :x

rtv3 · July 2014

The goodbye thread is getting way too serious. I'm one of the us, right? Right? Guise?

Meh, I don't think I've offended anyone, I try to stay semi-caught up on this thread and the UO/FFFC thread, and I lurk on the BFing thread. I get the support/info I need and I try to support all y'all. All this "sides" business is just ridiculous.

ETA: spelling. Whoops!

Succesful booger-fishing this morning turned a screaming, angry, stuffed up baby into Mr.Smile-and-coo

It annoys me when I love tit a post at the bottom of the page and then change pages too quickly, causing my tit not to register.

Board drama is more fun when it doesn't involve people I actually like :S

JessieAlbin · July 2014

Ugh. I love being responsible for the things other managers at my work do to piss DH off now that he works there too, because they obviously run everything they ever do ever by me.

I really really want another tattoo!!

You girls are so sweet. I couldn't sleep last night and your kind words made me feel better. We woke up early to give her extra cuddles, and my husband just left to take her to the vet.

I plan on having lots of snuggle time with LO today.

Know that you're doing the right thing. My first job was at a vet, although it's very sad, it is peaceful. Hugs!

Thank you. We weren't strong enough to go back with her. I hope she went peacefully and is resting without pain now.

No stay! I'm sorry I have always gotten the two of you confused.

I wanted to change my avatar when she did so we could keep up the confusion, but no baby pics on the Internet for me.

Me too. Hugs from afar!

What would you get? I'm getting a new one in a month. Yaaaaay!

ambarnett1 · July 2014

Seriously annoyed with the change in my baby's sleep habits. I want my 8 hour stretch back, I don't want to have to swaddle him, and I want to be able to lay him down drowsy, but awake. I'm bitchy right now.

RedDawnsRevenge · July 2014

When the baby threw up on my pants last night I forgot to wash them. I only has one pair. Maybe I go nakie to the farmers market? The hippies won't care right?

I'm in the same boat... Hopefully this is just a phase.

@PoppySeedWindsor

I was supposed to start my cherry blossoms piece last August, but then I found out I was pregnant right before I made the appointment with my artist. Its going to start at the cap of my shoulder and go down to my elbow. Its going to my family piece to represent my husband and kids, a blossom for each and I bud for our baby that we lost. I'm not sure when I'm going to do it, buts its already paid for (gift from my mom).

ETA: hope it makes sense. I always have a hard time describing it but I will totally AW the hell out it after I get it.

BiggerinRealLife · July 2014

@poru you have makeup tats? Where? I never would have guessed!

BiggerinRealLife · July 2014

Question: what happens to breastmilk when you start weaning? Does your body just, like, absorb it? Like unused sperm? (I don't know why my brain made that association but Ima go with it.)

Emily041285 · July 2014

Apparently after the memorial yesterday accusations about the friends we lost started flying around fb. That I'm upset about. Who cares what happened or why? They were great people we will miss.

Made myself a massage appt tomorrow and taking a social media break for the weekend. I can't handle the stress anymore. See you on Monday RTT.

KatieGummow · July 2014

@bailey'smom hugs to you! I am so sorry and couldn't imagine what you're going through. Hope those snuggles are amazing.

@BiggerinRealLife‌ I assumed when you start weaning you're spreading the feedings apart so your body stops making as much quantity wise.. But your baby will still be drinking the milk you've made, it is just "older" milk... But what if you go cold turkey? Hmmm lyfe is so crayzee.

PoppySeedWindsor · July 2014

@thomas930 that sounds awesome! What a beautiful and meaningful tattoo. @poru What's on your tattoo agenda? I'm still breast feeding and going to get one. The risk is infection, yes?

TallaB · July 2014

I got so engrossed in catching up on all the drama that I just pumped for 30 min. Now the baby will probably wake up in 10 min, starving, and I'll have nothing! Oops.

sjghealy · July 2014

Loving in sympathy, not for the stomach bug. I caught it from my four year old and am miserable!

michaelad3 · July 2014

I have no idea who took my baby and replaced her with a good sleeper. I'm thinking I should wake her up and not let her sleep this late, but I'm enjoying this quiet time, and she probably won't take long naps today. She slept from 10pm to 4ish, ate and went back to sleep, and now it's nearly 9. I already pumped almost 2 ounces out of lefty to relieve some engorgement. I think I should wake her...right? What would you do??

Teresa1896 · July 2014

@BiggerinRealLife‌, even after I weaned my dd at 16 months I could still squeeze out a little BM for a reeeeally long time. Ironically, the thing that finally dried it up was my getting pregnant with DS (almost a year after I weaned dd!!!!).

JessieAlbin · July 2014

Re: tattoos while breastfeeding, yep mostly risk of infection. I would also venture to say your body is already working hard at making breastmilk and anytime you heal a tattoo you're asking it to multitask and running down your immune system, since it is a big wound. I personally would advise against it for those reasons (unneccessary risk of infection and it may not heal as well/open yourself up to catch something your body would otherwise fight off). Also this is completely an inference from anecdotal breastfeeding info here, but supply seems to be effected by things you never would have expected and I couldn't say with confidence that putting your body through the ordeal and unneccessary stress wouldn't hurt your supply.

But getting a tattoo isn't going to put anything terrible in your milk, and if you're ok with those risks and you have a legitimately reputable artist who is willing to share those risks with you (I wasn't, and in some states it's against their regulations), then knock yourself out. Just remember the world is a gross place and it's a big gaping wound!

TallaB · July 2014

@michaelad3 Let her sleep!! She'll wake up when she's ready! Enjoy some quiet time

michaelad3 · July 2014

I was planning to finish my book, but I keep getting sucked into these threads, and I can't seem to find my way back out!

Tferr02 · July 2014

Ugh DH was just told that he needs new tires. Any suggestions where to get some cheap?

RedDawnsRevenge · July 2014

I'm so over this constant vomitting. Probably going to start rice cereal next week as I am at my wits end.

edoliesmom · July 2014

@KendraColeslaw‌ I want to know how awkward it is that you just met snmetz 2 weeks ago now that the GBCB happened.

Correction: 1 week ago.

Question! During the day, do you change your baby's diaper every time he/she pees? I find it wasteful of a diaper, so I usually let her go a couple hours (basically til I see the diaper starting to bulge) but I'm honestly curious and worried that this is in poor taste and... neglectful?

We cloth so we change everytime she pees. Not worth risking an infection. This is one of the biggest reasons we don't do disposables, we'd use like 20 or more a day!

DS pitches a bitch as soon as he pees but will nonchalantly sit in poop. As long as LO is content & fresh & clean after changing I would think it's okay.

However, I'm wasteful with diapers, I change for a shart.

I haven't done that for about a month now. I agree that it's wasteful.

If Merri would sit in her pee, I'd wait it out. But she like, thinks of just tinkling and she loses her shit and needs a change.

ETA: @UnofficiallyLO‌ Merri is the same way. She'd sit in poop all day long if she could.
