I will never do a road trip with DS alone, not until he's at least verbalizing his problems. But I did an 8 hour road trip with him when he was 7 weeks and it took over 12 hours. It was very long and frustrating.
I'm planning on going back down there next month and will for sure fly with him.

@joytomylifex‌ can the baby sit on your lap if you check the seat?

Yes, they would have to. They are considered a lap child no matter what, but they'll be nice if there is room and let you bring the car seat for convenience. They don't have to stay in there if you have it, but it's nice to have a place to put them down. On the full flight I had her in an ergo and she stayed in there the whole time and slept.

@poru I tagged you correctly on IG, right?? If not someone is going to be really confused! Lol

J&NL · September 2014

Ok good! This morning I tagged without thought and then I went back and doubted myself. Lol

BiggerinRealLife · September 2014

@kbmac Do come out and play! Poru says you're awesome, and she has impeccable taste. I can't wait to meet you IRL!

So fucking pissed. The tattoo artist I want to do my tattoo, only does larger tattoo's and is going to recommend someone else....I've been on the waiting list for months and love his work. It just really makes me mad. This is going to be my first tattoo for the girls and I wanted it to be beautiful. I've looked for a long time to find someone this good.

That blows. Is he only doing larger tattoos as in, he only chooses to do huge pieces because that's what he likes to do? Or he won't do what you want the size you want it because it won't work that small? The former is douchey and if so I'm sorry he won't work with you, but the latter is a real thing and you may want to consider a slightly larger piece. A lot of times women (especially with a first tattoo because they are not interested in something huge) want to take a lot of information/detail and jam it into a really tiny tattoo and although it's badass that way in theory tiny tattoos rarely turn out the way the person envisions it and they end up with tattoo regret because some details really need to be made somewhat larger to not blur into one another eventually. This is especially true for script. Not every talented and experienced artist has the, uh, best bedside manner about that, and he may have not been interested in arguing that point if you were dead set on too small. Which again, is kinda douchey too, but ultimately he doesn't want to give you a tattoo that is great in theory but not in practical application and doesn't know how to explain that accurately or delicately. Either way I'm sorry you're bummed and I hope you find the right artist to bring your idea to life better than you could envision!

Just a mom and her daughter, watching Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders in bed at 3:30am...

JessieAlbin · September 2014

@MaiTaiBeth‌ yeah that's definitely douche territory. Tattoo artists can be fucking divas.. He probably would be terrible company while you got your work done!

Night three of sleeping without a swaddle, and the magical sleeping unicorn lives!!!

You may all commence hating me now.

Should I get IG?
I've been wondering the same thing.

Same here - I feel like I'm missing something magical by not using it. :-/

@kseccomb17‌ @3crazykitties‌ I can't find you on IG. Follow me; belle_reine.noire

I could come to Columbus for a gtg!

rtv3 · September 2014

Welp, that sucked. DD slept from 6:30-9, ate, 9:30-12, ate, and then woke up and cried every.single.hr from 1-5:40. Then was up for the day at 7:40. I am so dead

( And we're out of coffee creamer. I knew that sttn was not going to be forever, but did it have to end the week I went back to work?!! Hope you get a nap in today, @rtv3

lokimau · September 2014

Aryssa slept in her crib for 2 hours last night!!! First night trying her own bed. Had to snuggle her to get her back to sleep once she woke up. It's okay

. I like the cosleeping. DH does not so we are trying to move her to her own bed.

BiggerinRealLife · September 2014

@poru, yaaaaaaaaay!

BiggerinRealLife · September 2014

I have trouble on Insta because I get confused as to who is who between here and there.

Emily041285 · September 2014

DH slept in the other room last night while I dealt with an up every hour baby. So I told him he was in charge this morning. He is currently struggling to get her to nap and I'm pretending I'm still asleep. He needs to figure this out!

BiggerinRealLife · September 2014

Thanks @macgrs! I thought so, but it's nice to have the confirmation! (Of your insta screen name.)

mrscrcalli · September 2014

There are a few people "pending" in my IG cause I can't tell if they are from TB or a stranger danger

Ashleypixie · September 2014

I've been trying to log into my IG forever but I forgot my user name. And my password. Somehow I was able to get both but all my photos from forever ago aren't there!

ladygali · September 2014

Thanks to all of you, I redownloaded the IG app to my phone. Now let's see if I remember to actually use it....

I'm elysesings if anyone wants to follow.

This will be the first time in a LONG time he's had to go away so I can't really complain. BUT it's the first time since Nolan was born and I hate being home alone at night.

tamaraaaa · September 2014

I love IG because it's no drama just lots of fun pictures... Facebook sometimes requires too much brainpower when you only have a minute or two. Mine is tamara.reed, which SHOULD be my new sn on here if it worked. Sorry guys, no more latex for you.

Columbus, OH.

snowbound · September 2014

I found a coupon for a pretty decent Costco membership but the nearest store is 30min north in Canada. The distance isn't an issue but the type of products I can buy and bring across the border is. Boo. I've really been wanting to get a wholesale membership!

Ashleypixie · September 2014

I'm aosterb and it's super creepy that I have no photos

Ashleypixie · September 2014

So if I follow anyone I'm not a weirdo stalker

KatieGummow · September 2014

Of course I didn't go to bed until midnight last night and they boys slept 7:30-4... Crossing my fingers this week of long stretches isn't a fluke!

Lucky! @BiggerinRealLife‌ and @poru! I'm so jealous. I haven't slept longer than 5 hours since like January. Good for you!

Here are my "too cool for school" boys at the SF zoo yesterday. DH's cousin invited us and it felt so good to get out and do something new.

I want pancakes so bad but Ryan is on a low carb kick and it's too much work to half an egg to half the recipe...

Okay. Who the heck is MrsBadKat? Why is she(?) such a big deal?

She from the parenting board. She is hilarious and awesome... And posted an entire story over there about 1D members being in love. Also, she watches Big Brother so that's another thumbs up.

I watch Big Brother too!!

But she just joined in February!? How was she so quickly popular? I feel like she's some kind of internet celebrity or something. I NEED TO KNOW.

RedDawnsRevenge · September 2014

Well I guess AF has decided to get her s*** in gear

rtv3 · September 2014

Good luck @dani+california‌! I hope baptism goes/went well :-)

@allyandmike24‌ - I just went back to work on the 2nd and DD's sleep has been going slowly downhill since

They know! Hopefully our kiddos will figure out this sleeping thing soon.
