Ah, A14 babies are adorable! I'm jealous of the Boston GTG. Looks like you had a blast!

@Vinny424 the bibs look great!

@PoppySeedWindsor I made the sour kraut today for a side dish at a BBQ. It was delicious. Thank you for the recipe.

It's no secret that I'm pretty anti- the "woo woo" of the wonder weeks. But I think it's because they're dead opposite for my kid. He's sunny when he should be "cloudy" and vice versa. Then again, he was such a freaking madman for so long, anything would look sunny in comparison.

G slept from 10-2 last night and then the rest of the night it was 20 mins here 10 mins there. I'm so exhausted. I'm also incredibly jealous of DH who is getting to sleep peacefully through the night in a nice hotel room for the next 6 weeks.

Anyone know how long post-partum you should wait before getting new glasses?
I can tell I need it and thought I'd make an appointment when A has his 4-month checkup to save a trip.

Next question: Anyone here have lasik or PRK? What was your experience?

A little late to respond but had LASIK two years ago and it has been amazing! Basically no recovery (just dry eyes for a few months) and my vision has been great! It's been awesome to not have to worry about contacts or glasses!

PoppySeedWindsor · July 2014

@Twirple‌ I'm glad it worked out!

eireyes · July 2014

@mamrotu73 I had LASIK done in 2010 so that when DH and I went on our honeymoon, I could enjoy all the things without having to worry about my contacts. Best. Decision. Ever. That was the first warm weather vacay I took where I could just jump into the ocean spontaneously and see everything clearly at the same time!

I think I need to see a doctor about this rash on my breast. Ugh. I hope it's not thrush again.

I sneezed A awake as he naps on my chest. He gave me the evil eye and smacked me as he yawned and stretched before going back to sleep.

"No, mom! Bad! I'm sleeping here, quit bugging me."

How dare you!

Serenla · July 2014

Do you think this bacon is crispy or should I not tip my husband after he brings it out to me?

Serenla · July 2014

@macgrs I'm sorry, Finn had a night like that a few days ago. FX you can get a nap in!

Wait and see first if he brings some ranch out with it.

Rrrrrachel · July 2014

If he doesn't bring ranch and other condiments out ahead of time no tip n

PoppySeedWindsor · July 2014

@hlm184 fingers crossed for you that it's not and that you're okay!

allyandmike24 · July 2014

Don't release the krakken you guys. Don't do it.

@macgrs that's a bummer, hope she gets back to normal snoozing soon. I bet that while they were at the GTG, they all conspired to be shitshows together. W was up until 10:30pm and then woke up at 4:45 to nurse. Noooooooo.

michaelad3 · July 2014

My boobs hurt again, and so do my nipples. I feel like I'm just starting this breastfeeding journey all over again. I think the nipple soreness is due to the added pumping, and the general soreness is because my boobs don't know wtf to do on weekends since I usually pump both sides, but LO only nurses on one side

irisheyez7 · July 2014

My kid is laying on her playmat talking to that other baby in the mirror. Sounds like she is singing! So cute :-)

Twirple · July 2014

Both my kids slept through the night last night, and are still asleep. I napped yesterday, so I stayed up late. I have been up since 7:00 a.m. just cause I can't sleep. It is not right for me to be awake when my kids are not.

Crazy thunder and lightning right now. We heard a crack of lightning and, sure enough out street got hit. Five minutes later, no power. I love me a good storm...I just hope my stash doesn't go bad!

No joke. I was driving in Cincy last night and that was some wicked lightning! I love storms but no so much driving through that with my baby.

pineconey · July 2014

What a crappy night of sleep.
Good thing it's treat receipt season at Starbucks!!!

mandacann · July 2014

Love tit for the treat receipt not the lack of sleep.

PoppySeedWindsor · July 2014

@twirple and @kseccomb17‌ I'm sorry to hear your kiddos slept and you couldn't. It's a cruel world to train our bodies to not sleep for three months and be unable to enjoy it when we get the opportunity to.

Tferr02 · July 2014

Omg Prince George barely slept last night, he won't nap today. The church nursery buzzed me in church because he was hysterical. He refuses the bottle and pacifier. He will only take boob and fall asleep that way. I'm going to lose my mind.

ambarnett1 · July 2014

I had two nights of bubba only waking up once and last night he was back to waking up 3-4 times. It sucked.

My DH read what I was posting last night and thought that DH meant douche bag husband or dick head husband. I told him I never thought of them, but they were good variations of the actual meaning.

Hubster reading these is a huge fear of mine. We typically end up fighting whenever I bitch about him/seek support here anyway but it'd suck if he read I called him an asshat.

Maybe I shouldn't call him an asshat.

PoppySeedWindsor · July 2014

Hey remember that one time you had sex when you have a three month old and the condom breaks?

Fuuuuuuuck.

ambarnett1 · July 2014

@PoppySeedWindsor‌ he knows I call him an asshat and bitch about him on here, so it works. He typically doesn't read anything on here unless I tell him to. I think I would punch my husband if he said something about seeking support here. We all need people to talk to/vent to/ask questions to, so he can suck it if he doesn't like it.

Also, maybe Merri will get a new brother or sister....

I kid. I hope it didn't really break for your sake!

mrscrcalli · July 2014

4 mile hike with my 17lb baby strapped to me... Now give me all the beer and calories!

Happy Sunday girrrrrrls

Me too! Hubster knows I come here for support too. He just wouldn't be able to take it.

So glad we're not the only ones having terrible sleep lately. Just when I thought things were getting better he's all 'LOLZ JOKE'S ON YOU BITCH' and then he has a light switch rave party.
The system is down.

This is my lyyyyfe.

@michaelad3 I'm going through the exact same thing. My boobs feel so full on weekends! And he only eats for 7 or 8 mins versus the 20 mins I pump.

Finally asleep in her crib! Now if this lasts longer than the hour we've been getting for the past week I may be sleeping on an air mattress in here tonight!

PoppySeedWindsor · July 2014

@celticlullaby‌ I've got a cornmeal blueberry muffin recipe!

kseccomb17 · July 2014

I don't know why but watching dating and naked..it would suck if you had your period...besides all the naked stuff.

Now I'm thinking about Naked and Afraid and how they handle this since it's 21 days... I doubt they plan around periods. I can only imagine how gross this would get...

Watching Top Gear and they are in the town just south of me!
Bagdad. They are decorating their cars to offend The South and get shot at apparently.

I remember this episode. Usually love Top Gear, but I wasn't a fan of this episode.

We 're at the air show today. Carlene looks so cute in her baby banz.

PoppySeedWindsor · July 2014

@celticlullaby This recipe actually isn't my own. I've taken it from Epicurious:

https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Blueberry-Lemon-Corn-Muffins-15255

I typically use almond milk and coconut oil in lieu of butter and whole milk since I can't do dairy. I also like to sprinkle with a little powdered sugar when done!
