  • Lol @jensavicci‌ my sister would be proud if I moved on to the other side. Trust me I've thought about it before. Ha!

    It's a little deeper than that. I'm just tired and I wanna be normal again. I feel like were so close but so far from that. Like Bruno Mars says, just leave me some morphine. Lol!! Ok, not really but maybe. >:)

    Yes!! The whipping scene made me cringe terribly, but I loved the episode, and I'm so looking forward to next week!
    It's timed perfectly too, because we're going to a Celtic festival next Saturday that has Highland game competitions etc.. So it's going to be a glorious day of Scottish-ness. I'm trying to figure out how to concoct an outfit with our family's plaid for LO in time :P

    ETA: hit post before I was done typing. Whoops
  • My oldest bird died today after I've had her for so many years. She got out of her cage, flew into the bathroom and drowned in the toilet. I found her this morning. I am a fucking mess and I just needed to tell someone. I know it seems less important than a dog or a cat but, she was my baby for the longest time and I loved her so so so much.
    I'm just seeing this, so my apologies if it draws up some sad feelings, but I am so sorry for your loss. What a horrible way to lose (and find) a beloved pet. I'm so sorry.

    @litera‌

    For sanitary reasons, it's just not something I'm comfortable with letting other ppl do. You can tell me all you want that you washed your hands but idk if that's true or how well you washed them. But, after I've thoroughly sanitized my own hands, I'll let Max nom on my finger. Babies like that kind of stuff. You'll often find that babies will grab your fingers and try to suck on em. Babies (and toddlers too) just like that. The soft end of a finger is reminiscent of a nipple. So, for that reason, maybe it's soothing or they're teething. Or just hungry (in which case you feed them). But a soft chewy finger (a soft chewy anything actually) is right up their Alley. Lol but, as I said, other ppl's hands just aren't a place for a baby's mouth for sanitary reasons.

    ETA: btw! If he hasn't already started, he'll prob chew on his own hands Lol.
  • I probably wouldn't freak out.I let ds2 suck on my hands. I'm a believer in exposing LO's to germs (in a reasonable manner. Ex: dogs, playing outside, etc.) from what I've seen and experienced, it reduces issues with allergies later in life. But, nobody has let DS2 suck on their fingers besides me.

  • I don't think you're being overprotective. I would not be okay with anyone other than DH or myself letting LO suck on their finger, even after he gets his shots! Like you said, she works in the ER, so who knows what she's been exposed to. I think exposing babies to some germs is just fine, but please keep your fingers out of my babies mouth!

    @jensavicci‌ my LO has discovered his hand and if he doesn't have a pacifier he is chewing in his hand making a slobbery mess. It's adorable!

  • I've been wondering why I had the stupid generic profile pic for the last two days... Guess it's bc I changed my name on the knot and it wanted me to log in again here. Mystery solved. In other news, I may be addicted to playing the one week fantasy leagues on fanduel.com.


    Hi there! I was wondering the same thing about your pic. Now I wanna change my name. Hmmm

  • Pretty sure DD has eczema on her face. I'm using Aveeno eczema cream but she keeps rubbing her face and it's getting worse. :( I will probably be making a call to her pedi tomorrow.

    My kid has been doing this too! I call her slobber monster (affectionately of course).


    DS has been doing this too. Like lip smacking and slurping. He tries for his whole fist lol. But manages to get his thumb and a couple fingers. It's adorable. I had to video it.

    Yes, yes, and yes!!! This year will mark my 20 year love affair with them. Literally obsessed with them. A few things I have in common with Gwen it's scary and I seem freaky for knowing all if these.

    We have the same bday!
    Her brother is Eric, and so is mine.
    Her middle name is Renee, so is mine.
    Her old cat was Megan, that's my best friend.

    Eta: oh no!! I hope your baby gets better soon!!

  • @kenziebug22‌ you are super mom!! I did school and work for awhile and it was tough, I can't imagine doing it with a baby at home. My hat's off to you!

    Haha thanks! My classes just started so i hope once i can get into the groove of things it will be easier but working till 10 staying up until midnight doing homework and then getting up with DS at 2am will kill me until then lol

    Sorry ladies just need to vent:

    I don't go back to work for another month but this Thursday is the annual anniversary dinner for my job. Basically if you've been at the job 5 years, 10 years, etc you go to a fancy dinner at a catering hall and get an anniversary gift at the end of the night. This year is my 5 year so I was supposed to go to the dinner on Thursday. However, not a single dress I own fits me anymore! I am sitting in the baby's room crying because I feel so fat and now I can't go to this dinner thing because I have nothing to wear. Thought about going out to get something new but it's cutting it close and to go out with DD is always a disaster.

    Why? You put ketchup on omelettes.

    edit: posted too soon
    I've finally had to admit my milk supply is done, LO is on freezer stash until I can choose a formula that is the least awful (not judging FF moms, I'm just grouchy about not being able to BF any more).

  • So DS1 has been sleeping in our bed a lot since we brought DS2 home. While I want our bed back I secretly love snuggling with him while husband can't stand it. I miss time with my older one

    Big Baby Grr is starting to STTN (9:30-5:30) - but my boobs are so full I have to pump a couple of oz before he can latch while he screams. I am considering setting an alarm for a 3am pumping session.

    That fucking sucks. I am also feeling like I can't quite keep up with him at daycare with the amount he gobbles up (and spills down his front).

  • It's my second day back to work. I'm combo feeding (pumping and formula) due to low supply and latching issues. I only got an ounce from pumping this morning. I wanted to cry. Also, pumping at work sucks. Why is this room freezing?

  • I tried dropping a pumping session again. I'm still getting the same volume daily with no drop in supply, but in the mornings, i'm so engorged I can't lift up my arms. 

    Ugh...

    Are you stripping down with a double-electric pump? Do you have a manual pump?

    You may want to run out and try a manual pump. I like that it allows me to stay dressed (for the most part) and it's as efficient for me as the electric. 

    Pumping at work blows. (or sucks)

  • I lost my phone on Saturday - not getting my replacement until today.  I have realized that the worst part about not having my phone is that I haven't been able to snap a quick picture of my LO when she is doing something cute.  Last night during her bath she was giggling so much and I wish I could have gotten it on video.  I don't care about Facebook or email - I just want my camera back!
  • I don't drink regular sodas, but I do drink sparkling water. Well suddenly sparkling water makes my stomach hurt. Blah.
