Congrats @mamakiss‌

So after seeing the post on rings not fitting, can I just say nothing fits. I refuse to buy new clothes yet so I'm still wearing pj's and maternity clothes. And I still feel like a slob. When does it get better?

kweaver123 · August 2014

Seems like dd has acquired the cold my 2 year old has (which we though was just allergies.) and she has been super gassy today. Looks like I won't be getting any sleep tonight.

Agreed @bcook530‌. :-( I feel so huge and gross. Some of my maternity pants don't even fit (and not in the loose way but in the can't fit over my hips and thighs way) so I'm stuck with the same skirts and maxi dresses day in and day out. :-( I just want to feel like myself again.

DS has attended a summer program at the preschool he's attended the last two years. Today is the last day and in two weeks my baby boy will go to a new school and be in kindergarten! I'm weepy this morning. So grateful DD is sleeping, so I have a moment to cry and be present with my feelings. My mom always got so emotional about her kids growing up and it was emotionally draining as a kid for me to deal with it. I understand how she felt now and will honor my feelings, but I'm not passing emotional baggage on to my kids.

Just learned that the house we are leasing is going into foreclosure in two weeks. I mistakingly got kicked off of my insurance, and my docs office just called and said when see then on Tue we owe just over $1,500. This is all a bad joke right?!

Sending some positive vibes for good luck to counter the shit you're dealing with. That really sucks, sorry, hope you get a break!

Thanks ladies- just got back from her pedi and he's sure she has silent reflux so we switched her formula and she's on Zantac. Poor baby and I had no idea

@Csltdk, sorry you had such a scare, I'm glad things are ok. I had a similar scare with my first baby. It took months before the fear faded and I could sleep peacefully again, ugh!
I think my DD has silent reflux and you've described in other threads fussiness like I've had with her. I go Monday for her 2 month well visit. What formula did your dr switch to? I hope your daughter responds well and no more scares.

Soon2BMrsN · August 2014

So DS2, DD, and I are at the dealer today getting my car serviced while DS1 is at school. While we are waiting, DD is nursing and poops. Whatever, I keep on feeding and figure I'll change her when she's done. DS then tells me that he pooped. Whatever, I tell him I'll change him when I'm doing feeding baby. When I finally stand up to take them to the restroom, I see that I have bright yellow baby poo all over the leg of my capris (one of three pairs of bottoms I have that fit, fwiw...) And them when we get to the restroom, there is no changing table thing. WTF? The only good thing is that this car dealership is huge and they have a separate "kid/family friendly" waiting area and we're the only ones in this area. So I change both kids on the pleather couch and wipe it down with a wipe when I'm done. Gotta drag both kids back to the restroom now to try and scrub the poo off my pants. eta: somehow, DD didn't get any poop on her outfit, just mine. Double WTF.

I'm thinking about getting bangs. I am an every other day shampoo-er though and wonder if bangs would get greasier faster than the rest of my hair? Thoughts anyone?

A shout out to @livkight for being so wicked awesome & opening my eyes to the ways of forcing a paci into my daughter's mouth via swaddling. You rock my socks. DD is happily swaddled, paci'd & sleeping in her swing. Here's a big wet slobbery kiss via the interwebz!

It's a LIFESAVER! Glad it's working for your LO too!

cookiemomma14 · August 2014

Ugh. Need some positive thoughts. DS has been screaming buckets for three days, not sleeping well, and having terrible gas and like 7-8 poop diapers. I've tried gas drops, gripe water, rocking, singing, patting him, burping him. Nothing is working. He screamed for 6 hours straight yesterday and 2 so far today. Even in his sleep he grunts and acts like he's in pain. We have the 1 month visit Monday but this momma called ye Ped in tears so we are getting in today. Not sure what's going on but hoping for some answers. So think good things fir us and that LO gets some relief soon!

So DH and I just started watching Bates Motel and had this conversation:

Me: Have you seen Psycho?
David: Nope. I don't know what it's about.
Me: Seriously?
David: All I know is the "Heeeeeeere's Johnny" part.
Me: ...
David: ...
Me: Babe, that's The Shining.
David: ...oh. Then I really don't know anything about it.

I could not stop laughing.

kweaver123 · August 2014

I'm a STM and my Dh wants to switch daycares to an in home daycare because it is $400 cheaper. I'm having anxiety about this. And my ds current daycare, my mom works there and he has been going since he was 4 months old and is now 2 1/2. I'm really not looking forward to him switching. Ughh!

littlemissmarla · August 2014

DH and I are on our way to Vermont for one of my friends weddings (I'm a bridesmaid), won't be home until Sunday. We weren't comfortable bringing LO so she is staying with my parents.. I feel terrible leaving her and feel like she's going to forget me - I seriously ugly cried before I left her and made sure my mom promised to do lots of "comfy cozy time" (our cuddle time). Ugh I need my Zoey

marsalisails · August 2014

DH and DS just went across the street for a birthday party. LO is napping. It's the first time I've heard silence all day. It's amazing.

I just have to share the major stink eye, arms crossed, attitude I got yesterday when I went to pick her up from my moms after an interview. Its the first time she'd been apart from me for longer than it takes to take a shower and she wasn't too happy about it! A second later she was smiling in my arms, so at least she doesn't hold a grudge

TugboatSheila · August 2014

@Csltdk‌ woah I am sorry to hear that but really glad LO Is OK

I still can't believe that it happened, but she is OK and I hopefully will be able to sleep again, Thanks for the well wishes

I'm thinking if buying "milkies". Are they worth it? Who has tried them?

Artistmom30 · August 2014

I'm starting to feel neglected by DH. The only real time we get with just us is after the kids go down for the night. Instead of spending time with me, he passes out by 9. I need some time to talk and get affection for my husband.

If you don't touch your bangs a lot, they should be fine. And you can always wash JUST your bangs

Who knew this face could produce sheer chaos without shedding a tear?

First, he has a buttsplosion so huge, it soaks his clothes and goes up his back. Upon stripping him of said onesie, we discover he not only soaked his outfit, but his swaddle as well, that I tossed in the crib in my haste to dispose of said poopy clothes. Oh, and it soaked through my dress as well. So we bathe him in the sink, that's 2 washcloths and a towel right there. Then, we bring him back in the nursery to put on fresh clothes and he decides that before we wrap him all up, he is going to do his impression of a water sprinkler all over Dad, soaking HIS clothes. So while Mom is on the floor laughing her makeup off, LittleDude effectively vomits up on his fresh clothes and disposes of another burp cloth.

So that's his outfit, swaddle, crib sheet, mattress protector, washcloths, towel, Mom's dress, Dad's entire outfit, changing pad cover and his second outfit - all into the laundry in the span of 10 minutes. Dad is so proud and Mom is glad she wasn't the one holding him the second time around and LittleDude was serenely observing this debacle the entire time.

DO NOT TRUST A SMILING BABY

I had a similar event this morning... as we were trying to leave for a doctor appointment. This following a night of projectile vomitting and only 2 hrs of sleep.

I use mine! They're kind of a pain to wash, but as someone who is ineffective with the pump, the extra half ounce or so really helps!

ichamommy · August 2014

This divorce is consuming me. Half my time is spent worrying that he's going to take my son from me and the other half is spent wondering what I must have done in his eyes to deserve this, to justify all of this. He's winning.

My heart aches for you. I can't imagine what you are going through, especially knowing you have to share your son with him.

I feel like I don't have any good words - just know that we are all behind you and sending our strength and love. (And ditto to what @tundrabunny‌ said)

I am sorry, mama. Did he express that he was going for custody? What a huge a hole, after reading what he did to you I can't even beleive he would show his stupid face, let alone be even more of a dick.

abrazz · August 2014

Two awesome things happened recently. DH just found out he is getting moved onto dayshift at the hospital. It's a big deal because new nurses around here are usually stuck on nights for a few years since there is such a low turn over. I'm thrilled. This means I can work back in surgery more and we won't be as financially strapped as I thought without both of us working full-time. And my sister-in-law is pregnant with their first child. They have been trying for four years and I am so excited! They are having a boy so now I can pack up the newborn clothes without feeling too sad because I know they are going to be worn soon by my little nephew!

likeanoldtimemovie · August 2014

Our 5yo has not stopped talking since he woke up an hour ago... He's literally talking in circles, to himself, on a million subjects. Sample:

Have you ever had blue milk? When I get a dog, I'm going to wash him. You can sit on the couch and leave the water running. Why did you move my BB gun? Oh yeah! I remember! Would it be fine with you if my dog kinda goes outside? Ok. I'll let him play on the deck. Remember when Rocky had a pumpkin bucket on his head? It looks like a nice day to go swimming!

Need. More. Coffee.

@ichamommy‌

These ladies hit the nail on the head. He's a douche. You're a cool lady with a baby, a TV appearance, a great fam and a whole group of friends that are supporting you. And most importantly, you've got to win for your sweet little Jonah.

My thoughts and my support remain with you! Hugs hugs hugs!

Don't you just love that covered in shit feeling? Let me just pass my fav meme onto you.

ETA: I'm about to lose my mind over Brom's chin. It's so squishy and cute.

kwh33ls · August 2014

@litera, just had that experience myself. DH came home to me in my bathrobe, holding a screaming, towel-wrapped baby. She poopsploded in the Moby, and when I took her out, the poop was everywhere--me, her, maybe the dog (?). We got in the bathtub together, which led to the "Welcome home, Daddy!" moment. I could have made a similar picture in my bathroom, @jensavicci.

Even in the midst of that, I couldn't do anything but snuggle and love on her. Damn cute babies

darkangel42 · August 2014

Driving through VT yesterday, we pass a farm and my OH excited points and shouts "look at the emu!" it wasn't an emu, it was a llama.

He maintains it was an emu and that I'M the crazy one.

Mamanorris81 · August 2014

I threw my friend a bridal shower today and it was the first time DH had both Kids all day. When I came home the house was a wreck, ds1 has only ate junk food, has mismatched clothes and a grubby face. hubby said he doesn't know how I get anything done and I not so secretly feel good that he now knows how hard 2 little ones are.

Mamanorris81 · August 2014

Also I wore heels for the first time in months and I think my feet are going to fall off!

jensavicci · August 2014

Oh sheet. July'15 is up! Man this went by fast.

mamakiss · August 2014

I think LO is already getting an ear infection. We see her dr. In the morning but the poor thing is only comfortable in one position and keeps tugging at her ears and fussing in her sleep (assuming she falls asleep). I don't like seeing her feel bad, it's not very fun :-q
