OMFG MOTHER.
I sent her a video of Quinn screaming high-pitched squeals (eeeeee!) because I thought it was funny. He's just started doing this, I think he's experimenting with his voice. This is what I got back:
Cute for now but please do NOT encourage him to scream. It really upsets me when I hear kids screaming while I'm out. I don't want to be a party pooper, sweetie, but people find it really annoying.
Thanks mom! Wtf.
Every time you talk about your mom I swear to holy hell we have the same mom.

Hehe, I feel like my mom would react similarly. She has turned into a Genuine Crotchety Old Lady(TM) since she retired.
I love tge expression DD makes as she is about to cry, the down turned mouth thats all scrunched up. So cute!
Re time frames for delivery for the exchange, I'm going to Wellington in 3 weeks to visit my mum and there is a shop there with the best selection of NZ candy. And then shipping will probably take a week. I hope thats Ok with whom ever I get... Rather wait a couple of weeks and do something awesome than send something half asses right away.
Angel baby June 2013, DD born 22 April 2014, BFP 10 Sept 2015 - Due 22 May 2016
I have labeled all the drawers of DHs tool box. honestly the cleaning of the garage would be quicker if I knew what half this crap was. But yet DH has been unable to accomplish it for years. Not once since we bought the house in late 2008 has the garage be clean. Yet I have cleared the porch, drive, and now in one day half the garage. While watching 2 kids! I feel very triumphant right now.
Our Maine Coon is so gross sometimes. She'll occasionally drop a poo in the litter box that looks like it came straight out of Silent Hill. My gamer ladies will know what's up. :-&
March 2017 September Siggy Challenge: Favorite Fall Things
My MIL works for Gerber and just brought us a shit ton of baby food! I'm watching my MIL try and teach my kids to play cribbage, and they're acting like they're getting it but looking at me like, "create a distraction so we can run!" But I'm thinking I'll let this one play out on it's own and maybe suggest she teach them euchre next. My in laws are soooo Michigan.
Why has nobody invented sprayable diaper rash treatment!? E kicks so much he gets the cream every freaking where. Also, I can't get his diaper rash to go away. I have tried different diapers, Desitin, A&D, and Butt Paste. We change him often and tonight I even let him hang out naked after a bath for 15-20 minutes. Any suggestions? Also,
I'm irrationally angry at DH right now. He went for a run and I did bath time, got diaper cream all over me and E, got peed on and E spit up right after I put him in clean pj's. Bah humbug.
Last time LO had a small rash, I gave him an epsom salt bath. That in combination with balmex seemed to clear it up in about a day. Someone on here mentioned using coconut oil, which could be another option.

My sister used coconut oil and it worked for her DD! My LO only had diaper rash once luckily and destin worked- but now we put coconut oil on her butt each night to prevent diaper rash.
I'm amazed that any of you guys know what cribbage is let alone enjoy playing it! I love card and board games but that one makes me die inside. That and Risk!! We have every game ever made ever. Even the murder she wrote board game. And you know who wins every thing all the time? This girl :-bd
I want to ask a question but don't want to be thought of as a creepy weirdo after I ask it. AH!
Does anyone else think their baby's private parts are cute? My husband told me that I'm weird for thinking so, and he said, "Maybe it's just weird if I think they're cute..." But I told him even if we had a boy that I would still think they're cute. Not like the really personal parts, just the top chubby adorable part. Is this normal? :-/
I think my boy's parts are kinda cute. I think I am fascinated with the fact that his parts are so "emotive" for the lack of a better word. They give a signal before he pees. Little baby boners in the morning (which really creeped me out at first), shrinky in the bath. My parts don't do anything obvious like that. I think my girl's parts look weird -- like her parts are getting swallowed by chub.
<--- I too sound like a weirdo now! And I overused the word parts, which makes me feel silly.
--------------- I don't know if I think they are cute, per se, but I do think DS has a very impressive set of testicles! Also, my 4 year old niece watched me change his diaper recently, pointed to his penis and said incredulously, "I don't know what that is." Haha!

I play the fuck out of sequence and monopoly. No one can touch me. I could win a national championship....You know what I really want to do? Go on family feud. But not with my family, a smarter family.
It's only 10 days or so until I see my DH again!! We haven't seen him since May 4! I can't wait! DH and I are meeting up in Jacksonville to look at homes and spend a night without kids and then we will come back to my parents house to get the boys and dogs. I went to victoria secret today to try to find something to feel sexy in and failed horribly. It was all so bad.
We're totally going to be the type of family that has a weekly game night. I don't care if my kids hate it, they're gonna do it! My husband and I loooove love love playing games. Our current favorite is Bezzerwizzer.
February Siggy Challenge: Favorite TV couple ~ Jim & Pam
Looooove us some games. H started a tradition of us playing tile rummy, dominos and now usually cribbage on out front porch every day of his 6 weeks of pat leave. We still play sometimes, but less lately since we've been pretty busy.
Apart from, you know, the baby, our time spent chilling on the porch chatting, playing games and listening to music has been my favourite part of this summer
I found H's baby book and I have never seen his hospital picture, holy shit he was UGLY. I would give that baby back!! I'm so glad he had cute kids because oh sweet baby Jesus he was the ugliest mofo ever. Also...he had a concussion, burnt his hand, had stitches on his forehead, had a febrile seizure, and some weird infection (I couldn't read the handwriting) ALL within the first 18 months of his life. His mom must have neglected the shit out of him. Cause he was FUCKING UGLY THATS WHY.
Call me crazy, but I know at least 3 people IRL right now that are pregnant and I would love to join them. I also have a friend who just announced an early loss, and it breaks my heart and reminds me how scared I was my entire pregnancy even though everything went perfectly.
I just applied for a ton of jobs. The only I really wanted it wouldn't let me apply for. The last hospital I worked for didn't require NRP. I don't want to be stuck in the ER the rest of my life. I fear the day when I become Nurse Jackie. I'm so close to losing that spark of feeling, I've become so desensitized. I need to go back to work even if it's just PD, I feel so stupid. And I know after 10yrs DH wouldn't leave me, but if he did, or something happened to him, and I hadn't worked in years what would I do? Plus the constant stress about money. I told my youngest sister if she watches the girls I'll pay for her driving school. Seems fair right?

A friend of mine just announced her third baby. Her first and second are 14 months apart and her second and third will be 15 months apart. Dat baby fevah!

She has the insanes
This is probably true, haha. But I have to admit to some envy! I loved being pregnant (but that probably means I have a generous portion of the insanes as well). It's probably a good thing that DH is holding down the fort and is adamant about being two and through or I would end up with all the babies.
Nah, for serious though, I'm happy and content with two. I never had a problem with being pregnant though.
March 2017 September Siggy Challenge: Favorite Fall Things
DS just rolled over for the first time today! I had no idea that he was even close, I've never seen him roll onto his side or anything. I think he heard me telling the doc at his appointment yesterday that he showed no interest in rolling and decided to prove me wrong.
So excited! My best friend, who just married my brother, is pregnant and on the march/April 2015 board!!! Woooo!!! My first college friend having a baby!
It is 6:30. I have been up for two hours already with this kid and I am literally covered in spit up. It is in my hair, all over my PJs - oh, and we're travelling. I don't have any others. I want to cry.
I know you've already gotten tons of booty advice, but I'll throw mine out there. I had a patient once who had the absolute worst diaper rash I've ever seen. The dermatologists recommended Triple Paste (which I use and love BTW) and corn starch! You sprinkle the corn starch over the clean bum and slather on the paste. You don't completely remove it each diaper change, just reapply. It sorta ends up being a big ol' mess, but it works.
I don't think your LO's rash warrants this based on your description, but for anyone with a bad one in the future, keep this in mind!

@RedDawnsRevenge I personally love the drawer labeled "really big fucking drawer"!
