So, Carlene is napping, DS is napping and DH made me a sandwich before going to clean out the garage. Now I have 1.5 to 2 hours to myself. Do I watch TV or nap? Decisions, decisions...

hlm184 · July 2014

In the evenings I just want DS to go to sleep.

And then he does, and I just want to play with him and love on him.

I'm now reading everyone's posts in his voice and can't stop laughing.

So I downloaded an app today called "iSitter" it's a video/studio baby monitor. It's free, actually works, and is pretty awesome if you're out and about at a friends house or something.

BiggerinRealLife · July 2014

Thanks @poru. I have them though. Moby I didn't like, sling she hardly tolerates. I should have started younger.

Your posts are officially gonna turn me on a little now. So there's that.

ETA: I first read "Tom Hardy." Then I used my brain and realized you said "Haverford." Oh well.

After all this time wondering who you remind me of, I have it! Ashley from the bachelorette. I always feel weird telling people they look llike someone else incase they think they're ugly and get all offended, so I only tell people when I'm confident that the person is pretty! haha. Enjoy your date!

Ok I've never seen the point of those nursing necklaces until now. DD is all up in my hair and grabbing my face, neck and arms with her talons of death. Recs on favorite places to buy them please! Anyone have an overpriced etsy store they love?

I made mine!!! Super easy

MamaFantastic · July 2014

uuuuuuuggggghhhhhhhh. 2 hours and counting of waking every 5-10 minutes and thrashing around.

looks like it's going to be another spite swaddle night.

Rrrrrachel · July 2014

@BiggerinRealLife‌ there's a lady on he attachment parenting board, ncbelle, who's great with baby wearing advice. What you're doing sounds fine to me as long as you're being careful about her head, but ncbelle would have some good advice.

I haven't seen much of your struggle with the swaddle, but have you tried weaning her into it? Like exposing one arm at a time to get her used to it? Just a thought.

trouble is she breaks free of every swaddle except when i very tightly wrap the miracle blanket around her (lovingly referred to as the spite swaddle these days). with the summer heat and her starting to roll now, i'm lighting a fire under my own butt to ditch it for good. my main problem is i'm letting my frustration dictate my actions (which means i'm doing something different every night and sometimes doing different things each hour, even) instead of being systematic about it.

Oooh ok. I have to cut the swaddle soon because she always manages to break free and ends up with it too close to her face for my comfort level. Good luck with it!

@mamrotu73‌ I would schedule it now so you can look awesome for the wedding. Also, I'm jealous that you and @poppyseedwindsor can rock pixies. I look awful with short hair.

how does one develop an ear infection in the OTHER ear while they're being treated with oral antibiotics for the first one? FML. For real.

Shifty luck?

*was supposed to say shitty not shifty, but I found it amusing so it's sticking.

Serenla · July 2014

I have to go to work on Monday, all I want to do is hug my little dude and not deal with asshat coworkers

I just found an R2D2 diaper. Now I have to deside between it and the Dalek diaper. They are both pure geeky awesomeness.
Both!

I freaking love you for this.
DH asked what I wanted for our anniversary. I told him diapers. Lol. Your welcome.

DH got me a gift card to Kelly's Closet for my bday. He knows me too well

Ever since Andy Samberg was mentioned in the celebrity crush thread, I can't get the Jizz in my Pants song out of my head.

RocksInTheWater · July 2014

@ImnAtari‌ So sorry you are dealing with a double ear infection

I made it 4 pages and then I got bored. But...wow. I would not be living in that house, let alone bringing other people's children into it. She's afraid of him spying on her, for god's sake! Why would you still be living there?

@KatieGummow‌ did your lil man poop yet? We give PF pear juice 2x a day to help keep her regular. It's awful to see them in pain.

A little tiny bit. He did ok today though, last night was awful! Glad to know. I will for sure do preventative for now on. Pear juice? Where do you get it from?

mrscrcalli · July 2014

Is that iggy azalea chick for real???????

She's blonde white and from Australia..

" I'm still in the murder biz" WHATTTTT? No you're not %-(

Rant over.

I was actually shocked when I saw the video for Fancy... Totally expected something different. Same with Sam Smith!

BiggerinRealLife · July 2014

@KatieGumow TJ's should have some. If not, my ped recommended we try Apricot Kerns Nectar if the prune juice and Karo weren't working. And a suppository every four days if she hadn't gone to give her some relief.

BiggerinRealLife · July 2014

All my worker friends at Whole Foods call me "Mama" now.

RedDawnsRevenge · July 2014

Hmmm...well mind blown, totally thought Sam smith would look like Maxwell.

Edit: auto correct fail

RedDawnsRevenge · July 2014

So I got the kids to sleep finally. Honest to god I sang Summer Wine for an hour. Also baby does not like Puff The Magic Dragon, but Chris Isaac is ok. :-?

I would be Akron. Which is weird because I'm really Aron.

I would be Columbia.. Which would be awesome cause isn't she the chick from Rocky Horror? He had a pick up truck and the devil's eyes!!

michaelad3 · July 2014

@Serenla‌ I go back Monday also

so I will commiserate with you

michaelad3 · July 2014

@jellysparkles‌ I love Tom Haverford, and Donna. I pretty much just love that show in general. It's so ridiculous and awesome

This mess is BSC and I am only on page 2!
I need to start lurking other boards more often.

Also what does FFS mean?

For f*ck's sake.

JessieAlbin · July 2014

My kid woke up for a bottle and a diaper just as I fell out. I was mad for about two seconds until I picked him up and then I realized how much I missed him at work tonight and he smells like baby shampoo cause DH finally bathed him before bed like I do and I just need all the Sullivan snuggles. :x

I finally DTD. It wasn't horrible but not great either. How can something be so loose and still burn!?! Luckily DH plied me with a greyhound first...

All of this. All. Of. This.
Booze helps so much.

DS keeps asking for a song about dragons and that's the only one I can think of. But I can't remember the f'in lyrics. I am going to look them up now to remind myself. I need some new bedtime songs.

I'd sing it to you but as I've said DD2 hated it, and I don't want her to wake back up!

fireflygirl12 · July 2014

@mamrotu73‌ how did I not know you were moving to WA?! Where?

michaelad3 · July 2014

Ok I need some help from working moms who pump. I'm going back on Monday and feel so clueless! How many bottles do you usually bring to pump into? What is your routine of washing and storing parts in between pumping sessions? I know parts can be refrigerated in between sessions, but so you rinse and disassemble first? Do you store them in a ziplock? Help me!
