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...

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.
Doing a test run with the babysitter! Date night, give me all the drinks!
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

@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.

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.
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.
If y'all are bored, SAHMs has an awesome thread going. The in home daycare one.
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?
Is that iggy azalea chick for real???????
She's blonde white and from Australia..

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

@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.

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

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!
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!
