Speaking of nursing, my left boob is killing me. It hurts at a little touch. Please don't be infected!!!!!!!
This was me the past two days. I couldn't sleep or barely lift my arms it hurt so bad! LO finally loosened up the clog and then I pumped for an hour! It took 3 let downs but it's clear now! I hope yours doesn't get infected!!
That makes me feel a lot better. I have feeling a might be nursing/pumping a lot the until this pain goes away. Thanks for letting me know.

I have died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years. And all along I believed I would find you, time has brought your heart to me. I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you a thousand more.
Had to take a pregnancy test before starting meds. It made me sad when it was BFN.
That got me to thinking about if we have to go through all the same crap again to have another, I don't want to go through all the crap we did before because it sucked.
Now I'm miserable and can't go get cookies to cheer myself up because I already went to the grocery store today
Well NIP didn't happen. I can't find my nursing cover, and I'm not going to try a blanket...I can barely do it with a cover on. So I brought some BM in a bottle. I then went to my office after lunch (bosses birthday lunch) because I wanted cake. I ended up nursing her there in an office but that was after I made a stupid mom error and put a little a&d ointment on a dry spot on her cheek. I can only assume it started burning her because she started screaming. Luckily I still had the BM in the bottle so I dipped my fingers in it and rubbed it on her face (after I wiped the ointment off) then I nursed her and she fell asleep. I went home after that. Sheesh what a fiasco of a trip:( I don't have this Mom stuff even close to under control.

Don't worry about it. Everything is still very new. There will be plenty more mistakes, but that's how we learn. Point is you got your LO fed and you did all you could. Sometimes we just can't do it all. Hugs honey!
My baby loves the nose Frieda. It must tickle because he smiles and chortles almost every time
Mine seems to like it, too! He doesn't really smile but he'll go from crying while I change his diaper to totally calm when the Nosefrida comes out. He's probably just grateful he can breathe for a little bit.
LO went down easily tonight at 8 and just woke up for a short feeding. She again went down easily. She then projectile vomited the entire meal all over her jammies and sheet. I had to get her up and do a full change. Now I'm trying to get her back down because I woke her.
My inner bad mom would like to know what you all would have done. Would you have let LO sleep? Wipe up and call it good? Maybe conceal the mess with a burp cloth? I mean, she would have been up sooner or later and maybe not so grouchy. @-)
For me:
Projectile vomit I would clean up, normal spit up not so much. Hope she falls asleep soon for you.

@jensavicci - i was reading an article in the wee hours of the morning on 6abc.com that said (among other "interesting" things), that beating someone half to death because of their sexual orientation is NOT considered a hate crime in the state of PA.
they also said that people had put the law to the state legislature, but that it never passed (several times) for one reason or another.
it's disgusting. it's a clear example of how we as voters think something is done once we vote to make it law, and that our law makers fall down over and over again and never get it done...but we're not informed, so we're not aware (i include myself in this).
it is also a clear example of how our country's congress should stop spending time on inane things like what's happening in the NFL and steroids in baseball and actually enact federal law on things like this. this is one thing that should NOT be left to 50 different states to decide. period.
for those of you who haven't heard, a gay couple was walking in Philly and a mob of seemingly normal people (who were leaving a restaurant dinner) beat them half to death. they were caught because someone posted the video on twitter and he had thousands of follwers who then went to their networks. a picture surfaced of the people in the surveillance video, and someone recognized the restaurant that they were at. the guy then searched who checked in to that restaurant that night, and matched FB profile pictures to the people in the video. they've all been pulled in for questioning, and one has already been fired from his coaching job for it.
goes to show you that FB is not private...ever...good thing in this case.
sorry for the book - i'm just horrified that this still happens, and that they can't fully prosecute these people for the actual crime that they committed (other than assault). it'll be interesting to see what happens from here.
It wasn't that their FB's weren't private, a lot of the group "checked in" at the restaurant. The Twitter user, once he found out the restaurant name (after the guy from RHONJ posted the group picture) easily narrowed down the check-ins from that night. Easy peasy.
I watched it all unfold live on Twitter. It was pretty incredible and 3 people were identified in less than 30 minutes.
It helped that the lump of the people were Bucks Co. natives, and active locally (ie. high school football coach). Too many people knew who they were. The Twitter guy called into Preston and Steve yesterday and said that he had PMs within minutes with the people's names and links to their social media accounts.

That's disgusting. I can't wait until those sort of people are gone or changed.
Now to segue from disgusting and appalling to disgusting and adorable. Nose Frieda fun
I get such a sense of VICTORY when I suck something chunky out.

I'm in search of a PB stocking for DD that at least kinda matches the boys'. Of course, I ordered theirs thinking we were complete. Whoops.
you just intensified my paranoia over possibly having non matching stockings one day if our family accidentally isn't completely O_O
I'm never going to pull the trigger.

that's absolutely incredible. it kind of makes me want to get a twitter account. it also makes me wonder if i know any of those people <shudder> since i spend my teen years in BC. i didn't go to catholic school though...and i'm not sure how old these people are.
@ghostof5letters totally an a/w moment, but when I got married the first thing I wanted was a cute set of stockings. My momma made me a set and so subtly included an extra stocking. Which led to a perfect way to tell our families about the pregnancy
Which fucking sucks! Wouldn't you think that the fact that I'm a human being grants me the right to not have my ass beaten? And if my ass were to be beaten, don't I have the right to be defended by the legal system? Guess not. I guess my being gay makes me only 1/4 human -_-
My cousin's best friend was violently beaten on locust St. (center city) a couple of months ago. It was captured on video and put online as well. What pissed me off is that on the actual video, ppl were laughing and encouraging the beating. And this was mobs of ppl too, not just 2 or 3. What's even more upsetting is that my cousin was supposed to be with him that night. It's fucking disgusting.
I'm not love-titing because I like it. I'm love-titing because I agree that it's disgusting. No one has boundaries anymore. It's just a fucking free - for - all out there. It's nuts

Crap. I made all ours and DD2 doesn't have one yet. I completely forgot and they take forever
Edit: also, I cannot remember where I put them because I moved house/country since last Christmas. Dammit.
My grandmother knits ours. She knit one for my mom when she was a kid, then my dad when they got married. One for my brother and I when we were born. She then knit one for each of my dogs with DH (then just boyfriend), but wouldn't knit one for DH until we were married. Now we've got DS's and DD's too. I love that she made all of ours!
So, I'm on the bus downtown and some crusty guy starts playing with my hair. Uh, WTF? Then I snatched it away and tell him not to fuckin touch me. Then he tells me to "calm down snow flake" and starts asking me if I'm doing anything tonight or if I have a boyfriend. I have never removed myself from a bus so fast. Where does he get off thinking he can touch me or any woman?! WTF?!

So gross! I would have freaked out!! In my head I would have beat his ass but really I would have just ran away.
My childcare fell through two weeks before I had my little one. I was so panicked but managed to find someone a block away from my work. She is awesome and I get to go see my little girl at lunch every day. Nothing breaks up the stress of a long to do list like getting to see her little smile.
Mister is flying next week to Bumfuck NY for a job interview. That would potentially have us moving from TX to Bumfuck, NY. This would be a huge career jump for him, and could possibly kill my career. Stress, I has it.
I attempted the 3day potty training method with my toddler the past 3 days. All I accomplished was cleaning up a lot of puddles. Oh, DS why must you be so stubborn?

He also got his two month shots today and was a little trooper about it.
And also, I took a picture of him today and I've finally realized he looks exactly like me, I'm so excited/ happy
