Early FFFC regarding 50 Shades: I read that a lot of women got pregnant while reading them (I guess it helped the relax and enjoy sex?) so I read them a few times hoping it would help. It didn't. Neither did Magic Mike... Although that may have just been for me.

Magic Mike didn't live up to the previews/trailers. It was depressing and slow. It seemed like it was trying to be artsy? I don't know, but there should have been more dancing and it should have been much funnier.

+1 to not reading 50 Shades. I also couldn't read the Twilight series. Too cheesy.

Edit - moved to TP Thursday where it bslongs

I read 50 shades and I sort of enjoyed them, but since then I've read much much better bdsm erotica (with way healthier relationships between the h/h). I'll probably still see the movie though just because I'm curious how they will translate to film with only an R rating.

Does anyone else have this new weird format on mobile?

@stephross88‌ and I were just talking about this. We hate it. We hate it so much. The white screen of death kills me

@skamber - it sucks!

@satrimm‌ if I could have a drink with anyone in the world, it would be Kim Zolziak #noshame

Does anyone have one of those night light pillow animals? Someone recommended it but they have a 2 year old. Baby does like staring at the ceiling fan so maybe he would like lights on the ceiling???

My random: we are out of town staying at a hotel. I was so sacked out when D started fussing this morning I thought "where the hell am I and WHO is making that noise?"

I had totally forgotten all the little places that shit gets trapped on a newborn. Neck rolls are esasy, but I forgot about behind the ears and the tiny spot between the thumb and fore finger. Gross little deposits of fluff, sweat, milk and ick.

We have a Dream Light (it's actually Cole's). We put it in Drew's room but I don't think he can see the lights yet. They're not as bright as I thought they'd be.

What does one weAr to a bachelorette party?? Lol it has been SO long since I've gotten dressed up to go anywhere, nevermind a trendy club downtown. I went shopping yesterday and was so overwhelmed. I feel too old for half the stuff, and anything I like feels like I should be wearing it to casual Friday.

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

My internet is down. We only have Netflix and Hulu. I'm really upset about this.

@ricecakes1216 - can you set up a mobile hotspot using your phone until it's back up?

Apparently I just had to complain about it because it just came back! Ahh!

otter1103 · July 2014

How about a cheesy Friday smile

diagonalley · July 2014

I haven't had internet since July 4! Still waiting on Comcast to connect to our house, which should hopefully be the beginning of next week. I've had to rely on mobile, and DH sets up a hotspot at night when he's home since he has unlimited data.

elsa1688 · July 2014

@KrystaJ‌ let me know of you ever want a judgment free companion - I'm always down for day drinking

elsa1688 · July 2014

@emilyh107‌ I want to go to Georgia so bad!

@KrystaJ‌ next week is great

Taymiller · July 2014

LO and I are having an amazing sleepy day! He slept from 11-6am, napped from 7:40-10:40 and we are laying down for nap number two! I texted DH and let him know how awesome today has been and his response was "He realizes his mom is losing her shit so he's trying to give her a break so she can nap" haha so very true.

puttyeast · July 2014

Anyone else have it say "plural" with new posts on a thread? WTH?

nunzchucks · July 2014

@puttyeast‌ I think something got screwed up after the update. It's been reported.

lest12 · July 2014

@emilyh107‌ - it's kind of expensive, but I really like kerastase. My hair goes through the ringer getting dyed so much but this helps.

tbmadeamistake · July 2014

@emilyh107‌ losing hair pp is totally normal. Gross and at time it seems way excessive, but normal. DH hates it because I'm terrible about cleaning the drain.

caitb413 · July 2014

@Taymiller‌ I can totally relate- DS has kind of been on that schedule for a week now. It's amazing to finally have some sleep and a little bit of alone time. Let's hope it continues!

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

Speaking of alcohol. FedEx just dropped off a box of wine. Anndd I had more delivered to my sister's house to help save on shipping for her. I also live in wine country and really hope to go to a wine bar tomorrow for lunch.

My sister had a tasting party last weekend and I joined the monthly wine club.

jacksoha · July 2014

My sister just got checked in at L&D to be induced! She is 37 weeks today and she has had high blood pressure for a couple of weeks. She had an ultrasound today and they realized that her baby hadn't grown since her last ultrasound two weeks ago so they decided to induce. I'm super excited to meet my nephew and to have babies only five weeks apart! Praying things go smoothly for her!

steprozz · July 2014

@emilyh107‌ do you live close to training camp? I've always wanted to go!

steprozz · July 2014

@ugabamafans‌ that sounds so awesome! totally jealous!

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

Ok. I know it's even discussed before but I've never paid attention. I have been resisting getting a wrap or sling for C. We have a carrier but it's not practical for wearing around to do chores. I'm giving in and getting something.

SIL used a Moby and loved it. My niece is/was tiny. C is a big boy; almost out of 0-3 month clothes at 6 weeks. What would be better for daily use, a wrap or sling?

steprozz · July 2014

@ricecakes1216‌ I would go with either a woven wrap or a ring sling. even though the moby says it's good for up to 35 lbs, I (and most people I know) only found it comfortable to about 15 lbs. woven wraps have a bit of a learning curve, I myself am not great at it, but i love my ring sling and so does B. we get all the housework done that way and sometimes DS even gets a home cooked meal because of it

diagonalley · July 2014

When DH and I decided to try for a baby we had the expectation that he/she would have to go to daycare, because family watching LO wasn't an option. Well, we were wrong. Between my parents and his mom child care is covered! I don't have to pack him up or anything, they'll come here! Such a relief to know the plan for when I go back and also that he'll get lots of QT with his grandparents

I'm feeling really sappy about it. I just think it's so awesome for all involved! (and my wallet

)

elsa1688 · July 2014

@ricecakes1216‌ I would get a ring sling or a ktan. I love my maya ring sling

I cut lo's toe trying to clip her nail....cue horrible mommy feelings! Poor thing!

@ktcort13‌ I did this to my LO's thumb! It was the last finger so obviously I was getting too confident. Definite horrible mommy feelings too.

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

@stephross88‌ and @elsa1688‌

Thanks! I was leaning toward a ring sling. My messy kitchen thanks you for the input!

ricecakes1216 · July 2014

@katburdette‌ I love that idea! C was so smiley today!

whoberry · July 2014

Not sure where to put this. .. anyone else go back to work at or before the dreaded 6 week growth spurt? How did you handle it? Reading a link from the MOTN thread about the 6 week spurt kind of freaked me out about going back to work. Not sure how my body will communicate with LO to produce more milk or how my pumping will keep up if I am at work. He is a frequent nurser already so it's hard for me to tell when he has a growth spurt.

@BMaidPlanner‌ , my fellow frequent nurser, when are you going back to work (or are you?).

diagonalley · July 2014

Ahhh Max is 3 months old already!!!

elsa1688 · July 2014

@MommyP710‌ he's so cute! Love the overalls

I had no idea babies farted so much.

elsa1688 · July 2014

GUISE. I was creeping on Parenting and apparently Janelle of teen mom admitted on twitter to being on TB for this last pregnancy. She was due in June.

Where are you, Janelle??
