Re: The Randomest Thread
DH had a work thing tonight with the CEO of his company. He thought he might be home at the same time as usual but he will be later. I tried to keep LO up so he could see her, but she was rubbing her eyes and screaming. She's been going to bed so early lately and I feel bad that DH doesn't get to see her everyday. It makes him so sad :-(

School started and I'm loving the new job...even though it keeps me way busier than my old one.
I used to do ponytails, but they give me a headache most of the time now.
95% of the time my hair is in a French braid. LO holds it when we walk around. DS1 has started mimicking some of the things LO does, so he will grab it a give a tug too.
The other 5% of the time it's in a bun, but if I don't put it up high enough it hits the head rest in the car and causes my head to tilt forward.
My hair is waist length so I never wear it any way that it gets blown around or tangled in the kids fingers.
Putting lo in her own room did not help MOTN wake ups at all. And now she didn't even go back down after her 545. I am in catastrophe mode of "I'm never gonna sttn again in my entire life." Of course I know I will at some point but that could be when she's all grown up and I don't want to rush to that. Ugh.
The refresh button has disappeared from my phones webpages. So now I have to click on a post and then go down the bottom and click on march 2014 moms to get new posts. WTH?
The first few nights she was up every 45 minutes to an hour. Then the next week every 2 hours. Last week we moved up about 3 to 4 hours.
So just saying, it might take some time for it to work. For a while I was just making sure she stayed in the crib for half the night into bringing her back to my bed for the other half of the night.
Thanks for the light at the end of the tunnel @Kewii! I needed confirmation that it wouldn't be an instant solution and sometimes things take time
a) constipated
Or
b) not in the mood to work that day because they will end up in the bathroom for the rest of the afternoon
You didn't say when you're going, but here's my thoughts. I always figure out how many LO uses 'on average'. (I think you could count how many CDs you change)
So, LO uses 7-10 a day usually. On a 'full of poop' day he may use 12 but that's not common.
So if you're trying to not have leftovers at all, I would say 9(diapers) x 4(days) = 36 and add a few as emergency. And each size diaper comes in a different 'count' pack, so I'd get whatever was closest. But, I always have more when travelling than needed because I'd hate to run out.
*size 2 might come as a 52 pack, and size 3 as a 44 pack.
** I buy by the largest case I can because its cheaper that way.
***also, Metro and Food Basics had some of their smaller packages on clearance (half price) because the package sizes were discontinued. I'm not sure how close you are to one, but I just got a pack of 112 for $15 and had a coupon on the package for $3 off. That pack is usually $30.
Good luck and have fun!
We were going to open a savings account for LO but after looking into it we found most paid NO interest on deposits.
My own personal account gets interest, so I've just left the money there for now. We will get him an account later on when he is old enough to buy stuff for himself.
As for expenses for LO growing up...braces will be paid by us.
University or college - we plan to open an RESP for the boys.
Car - buy their own.
House - buy their own, save for their own down payment.
My parents gave me nothing. My bank account had $100 when I turned 18.
In their defence, their combined family income was $50-60K/yr with 5 kids to raise.
Things are different now, but I definitely think the kids need to learn to save their own money for housing and car.
And I agree with others that college and stuff aren't our responsibility, but I would like to help and this is the best way I know how to.
I was crying to DH today because I feel like I don't have any friends.
