I could use a pick me up. I miss my DH so much. It's been over a month since I've even received an email and I'm totes starting to get the sads. Also playing single parent is hard. Whine over.
@meowmix12 Now it's the teddy bear and blocks that I use. (3:30am) It's confusing me to be scrolling and see my avatar places I know I haven't posted. Lol.
xp but bltbear82 for the win BTW> I think we're going to hire your nanny I seriously owe you. Any chance I can send you a thank you gift???
i really owe her. this woman's references are amazing and i am feeling a bit more at ease already. no more babysitters endangering my child jk but not.
@jtizzay that's awesome news! I hope you're as happy with her as my SIL has been. So glad it worked out. Yay!!
I'm way behind and will likely not catch up because after this post work is going to be insane, but @tsmith312 I'm so sorry your mom is doing this! Is there any way you can kind of get her in a corner with this situation? Maybe if you even just start researching alternate child care arrangements, and then let her know that you're searching because she doesn't respect your rules, wishes or feelings. That might send the message. And who knows, maybe you'd find something affordable and great. (Affordable is probably a stretch, since child care is insane.) Good luck! I'm so upset for you, I really hope this gets better!
Will would like to announce that he is no longer classified as Failure to Thrive!! His weight is solidly on his chart between the 10th and 25th percentiles. Woooooo!!!!!
He will always be significantly smaller than y'all's typical babies, but that's why he gets his own special chart. 10 lbs 11 oz. My baby is HUGE!
Thanks ladies. It made me teary eyed too @kalpa521, but then I guess I'm supposed to be as his mama.
But womp womp. I was hoping to take him off the 27 cal so that he can poop normally again, but they just called me back and said he has to stay on it for at least another month. Bummer.
@babylimas there is an adorable little girl who also had DS at N's daycare and she's the same age (4 months) as him but she's such a peanut. Today when I dropped him off I just wanted to snuggle her she is so cute!!!
It made me think of Will and how he's grown so much and he's doing so well!!! She would make Will look huge since she's still so tiny!!
Love seeing pictures of your little one it melts my heart!
Will has done most of his growing in the last month (he's 5.5 months). It's insane how quickly it's happening now that it's starting!
Less than 3 hours till my job interview. I feel like I'm going to throw up. All the carbs in the world can't calm my nerves (but I've definitely tried)
DH just called and said he would bring Mexican food home for lunch before my interview. We have both been eating really healthy and working out for a couple of weeks, so this was very excited.
What I didn't tell him was that I had already eaten lunch earlier (something healthy). I guess I'm eating 2 lunches today (brings back fond pregnancy memories)
I might play screen name change just because everyone else is. I want to be in the cool club!!! Hmmm to the drawing board of name possibilities, how to be original but not too obvious about myself.
What happened to the cheese curds avater ?

@lincbeesmom That's hilarious one of the other posters on the Working Moms board said she read it as "where are all the babies" and was like, I don't know where they are?!?!?
I wish I could edit it so it has some underscores or periods to separate words!

I've read it both ways.
We are all the babies AND Where are all the babies.
I have to keep reminding myself that it is Wear all the babies.
I am irrationally EXCITED to be going to Costco right now for its grand opening across the street from us!!!! Did my hair and everything!!!! (For ya know, the picture)
I used to think that moms with kids shouldn't be allowed in the carpool lane. Now I'm like get the f out of the way I gotta get home and insert (feed, change, nap, etc)

I went to Costco today too! Even put on a bra to do so!
All 3 kids just woke up within 5 minutes of each other. DS1 wanted to climb into our bed, Owen got stuck on his belly with his arm between the mattress and the crib, and Keira woke up and got upset that she was left behind and Mama wasn't holding her. All just before 5:00 am. This is going to be a long day...
I am so sorry @babycaps! I've been MIA forever! I've been away from a PC for what seems like forever. I am back to work so now I'm here!!! I am more active on the FB group too.

I know this was discussed once but I can't find the thread now. How are you storing clothes as far as bigger sizes go? I had someone give us a bunch of 18 month and up and I'm not sure what to do with them for now. We are moving soon and I want to start off organized at the new house.
Same thing happened to us with hand me downs! I've for those vacuum seal bags. I'm going to get them transferred from garbage sacks to vacuum sealed and then probably into plastic totes.

If we are given clothes I go through pick out the ones we want to keep. I then wash them , the nicer stuff I go ahead and hang up in the closet. I have the little dividers in her closet that say 3-6 , 6-9, 9-12 etc months and I just hang them up. Then all sleepers and onsies are folded up. I have one drawer that's designated for bigger sized items. If I store them somewhere odds are I'll forget about them. So I go ahead and fold them or hang them up. Bow all her smaller things she can no longer wear I put them in Rubbermaid containers.

Is anyone else sad that LO is growing so fast? DS is now big enough to sit in restaurant high chairs and shopping carts as long as we strap him in. Today he is trying to get into a crawling position during tummy time. Slow down little boy mommy wants her non-mobile baby a little longer!!
Yes!! I don't know why, I know its life but I miss her being tiny ! I never believed when people say they grow so fast but I'm slowly understanding that. I cried packing up some of her clothes the other day, I'm planning on having another one but knowing that one may not be a girl and some of those outfits may never be worn again just makes me sad.

@WisconsinCheese12 that would be my cue to tell them that if they can't respect your wishes as her parent, they can grandparent from the sidelines. That is very disrespectful of them

@DisneyAddict1 I don't know if one scenario is better than the other, but at the lab I used to work at the vets would prescribe canned food in addition to dry food for thin dogs.
I am a selling machine right now! I'm going through all of DD's things that we had stored in case we had another girl (which we didn't) and all of the things that DS has outgrown.
I thought I would be sad selling all this stuff, but I get so excited when someone contacts me about buying stuff. It's seriously becoming an obsession (extra spending money + less stuff taking up space in my house = WIN!)
