    Yes, I've been told its permanent

    Noo! I can't lay on my belly without pain! I was a belly sleeper prepregnancy.
    I haven't been able to sleep on my belly since 2011. I sleep like shit now and have horrible insomnia.
  • Yay @MaiTaiBeth‌ that's awesome news!

  • @embear22‌ I'll have to check! I loved me some DSW in Texas, but at size 9-10 (I also have huge hobbit feet for such a short person) that it was usually a pretty ugly selection... Especially the clearance section.

    YES. I wear a 10W, and I think I've finally learned my lesson of never shopping at DSW. Nothing ever fits when I go there. :(

    Dangit I started looking at shoes. God I love shoes. They never make you feel bad and always fit. Um I think these are fabulous, but I'd have no where to wear them https://www.dsw.com/shoe/aldo+biadene+bootie?prodId=292196&activeCats=cat10006,cat20173,dsw12cat1100004
    Love those! I have a shoe addiction problem, but it helps that I wear a 10. Less selection means less for me to buy! Plus, I'm already 5'10" so I don't like buying super tall heals because then I tower over DH and I look like the jolly green giant, just not the green part ;-)

    I love shopping at Zappos.com for shoes. Great customer service, and usually free shipping both ways.

  • So irritated. I meet up with two mommies in my neighborhood every Wednesday for brunch, we also walk our babies and dogs together a couple times a week. We take pictures every week, and for the one she asked me to move her daughter closer to Pat for the pic, well Patrick grabbed/pulled her hair and she started to cry. The mom freaked out, cuddled her, and left the room, leaving me and the other mom in awkward silence/conversation. I walked out and said, "I'm really sorry Patrick pulled her hair." She said, "yeah, poor Chloe... I'm sorry baby, are you ok?"

    Literally made me feel like shit for something my BABY did. Her 7 month old scratched Carter once and I was like, "don't apologize, he better get used to it, they're babies!"

    Anyways, so I was like, "well, we're going to leave, Patrick isn't invited back anymore." And she didn't say anything. He grabbed her hair and when she moved her head it pulled. Technically she pulled her own hair.

    Well, before I left I said, "you should definitely wait a while before Chloe gets a little brother or sister." Which was so stupid and catty to say. WHY AM I SO UPSET ABOUT THIS?? Ugh, waste of my time. Now I don't want to hang out with her anymore.

    I'm a 10, 11 if it's narrow and I can only find shoes at DSW! I wonder if the selections are different by region. I'm happy to see I'm not the only one with skis around here.
  • @KatieGummow she WAY overreacted.  I can understand wanting to comfort her baby, but she should have known that Patrick didn't mean it.

  • Is giving a frozen banana in a mesh teether considered giving solids?

    We've done frozen purée in the mesh the last 2 days. I'm counting it.
  • Think I found the solution to undisturbed sleep for A-game: belly or side sleeping!

    Moms of non-back-sleepers, how did you move past the "they're going to suffocate!" anxiety? I'm thinking a video monitor would make me feel better, but that's money we're trying to save for a big girl car seat once she outgrows this one soon. =/

  • ^what Coleslaw said. We put him down on his back but his little baby tush is in the air immediately, that's just how he chooses to sleep now. He's a pro at rolling and moving his head, I can't stress it or he won't sleep.
  • DS pulls my hair all the time. Well he just grabs it and moves it towards his mouth like he does everything else. It's not intentional. No harm, no foul. That lady needs to snap back to reality. I'd probably stop hanging out with her if she blows something so insignificant out of proportion @KatieGummow‌.
  • Last night was rough. When our amazing sleeping toddler woke up at 6:30th instead of the usual 8-9, I rolled over and asked DH why our kids hate us
  • @KatieGummow‌ as everyone said, she overreacted.

    You know it's going to be a bad day when you wake up with a headache and nauseous.

  • Skipping posts to say..
    Oh hey Elton John

    Jealous! Love him. Played on one of his pianos in a recital when I was 11, thought I was the coolest B-) but none of my friends knew who he was!

    Another fun and random fact, he played at a local venue here a few years back I know someone who was involved in setting up his dressing room and they said every decoration in it and flower had to be white and they set up naked male dolls (like Ken dolls I'm assuming) everywhere.
  • We still had two wake ups last night but I actually got some good sleep. 3+ wakes up kills me. I wonder if sleeping on his belly had anything to do with it.
  • Wow @KatieGummow She totally over reacted. I think that little girl is going to have a very sheltered life. Logan gets a hold of the older two's hair all the time when they play with him. The first couple of times they got upset but now they know that he doesn't mean it and if they don't want it to happen they have to make sure their hair doesn't get in his face. 




    Can I request the magical sleep unicorn for my 2 year old? This boy wont sleep! He has been waking up every night at around midnight and wont go back in his own bed.

  • I kinda want to do a Canadian GTG to flaunt all of our adorable maple babies in a groupshot like all you other ladies are getting to do.

    I think we are pretty close, and there are at least 2 more in Montreal
  • If any of you ever complain about your ILs again, think back to this post. They called us Monday to tell us they were leaving that night to drive here, across the country. This means my amazing craft room, full of unfinished projects has been thrown into bins and made into a guest house. Drop every thing, because they suddenly want to visit! No end date set either.
    Top it off with the Mariah bridal shower tonight and a teething baby that screams her face off all night long and I'm having the best week ever.

  • I'm overbumping today to take my mind off my dog is having surgery. He hadn't been eating much in the last couple of days and last night he vomited EVERYWHERE. So we took him to the vet this morning because we thought he may have gotten into something. It turns out he has a TUMOR. they are going in to see if it's in his liver or his spleen. If it's in his spleen they can remove it and do a biopsy. If it's in his liver, there's nothing they can do. My god my heart is breaking just thinking of him laying there unconscious in surgery, then waking up in pain and not understanding what is happening to him. I dread the phone call later learning his fate, and I dread even more what I'm going to have to say to my kids. He's the best dog. The sweetest thing ever.
