Holy! You guys have some fat and happy babies My guy is not even 16 pounds....maybe that's why he makes me work so hard for the smiles. He's like "Feed me, biatch!" Are these formula fed babies or breastfed? I've read that bf babies weigh less....
First time on RTT so pardon me if I'm repeating what's already been said

@deidremaria I hope it fits!!

D is EBF. I will upload a pic of him when I put it on

RE: Carters - canadian website ( and probably the US one) has good sales on right now. I know Carters always has the damn sales on but today I got a " My First Halloween ' onesie ( i suck and have given up on finding a costume) for 2.99, long sleeved skeleton bone shirt for 2.99 and two piece christmas jammers for 12.00

edoliesmom · October 2014

Edolie is EBF and was 16lb. 2oz. and 26.5" I think?? on 9/30 when she was 5 months and a week. She's going back on the 30th, and I expect her to be right around 17 pounds... She's been a slow and steady gainer. She's in 3-6 in most brands, 6-9 in a couple of the brands that run small.

SoulTermination · October 2014

A-game is EBF and almost 20lbs as of this past Friday (17th). Not super chunky, but long!

penguinjenny · October 2014

Kristen is EBF. She's 17lbs 2oz and 25 inches. She's in 6-9 in bottoms and 9-12 in tops. She mostly has carters but she has a few old navy and gap onsies/pants.

Xxlilies · October 2014

@mom2boxers Don't wait too long if you really want it . I procrastinated on Halloween until theres nothing left but stupidness, hence the onesies.

Hes not going trick or treating anyways but I feel kinda bad I slacked on his First Halloween..

Need to get dinner going but my kitchen is spotless and i dont wanna!

So I had the neatest idea, I'm sure it's been done but whatever.

If anyone has an Etsy shop and knits/crochets (@WifeofaComposer‌ ) you should knit little hats that look like hockey helmets! Ahaha I put a knitted hat on LO today and it looked a lot like one and I thought holy crap, Canadians would love this! We'll be rich I tells ya!

oh my god. That is an awesome idea! I'm totally going to try and make one for our trip to the hall of fame!

kmos816 · October 2014

I haven't been keeping up but looking at the last couple pages I have the tiniest baby in the world! She'll probably be 14 lbs at her 6 month!

I was all excited to start weaning off the pump and Bf this week since she finally took a bottle of formula last week but she refused the formula today! And today I only pumped twice instead of 3 times.... Hoping she takes the formula tomorrow.....

And @Ooopsbaby14‌ I also want a pair of baby Uggs!

tamaraaaa · October 2014

Guilty of buying holiday Carter's crap. Isla is 15lbs and fits 6 months pretty well. There are a few tank onsies that are 3 months that still fit, so I guess she's kind of a shrimp.

Have I ever mentioned days with a sick baby are the longest days ever?? I feel like yesterday was a week ago.

So DSD informs me that last night while we were at a wedding my DH's grandmother let DS have a lollipop to the point that his mouth was green. I know it shouldn't be a big deal, but they just do whatever they want with no concern of our wishes. Needless to say, my entire in law family annoys the fuck out of me!

Your six month old was given a lollipop? No! You are NOT over reacting. Id go ballistic!!!

Xxlilies · October 2014

I'd buy baby UGGS if I had a girl. I keep eyeing those Freshly Picked mocassins for LO. they have camo ones ! but they are 60 + shipping to Canada Land and the child has sooo many shoes and I guess the Robeez he has are similar but not camo

snowbound · October 2014

DS was 16lb at his 4mo appt. I'm excited to see how much he weighs at his appt tomorrow. He is still ebf and no solids.

RedDawnsRevenge · October 2014

Too many pomes

Shelbysteffens · October 2014

Went to the 6 month appointment today. 15lbs 12oz. He's little and skinny but his head is in the 84th percentile. Eeesh

Stepping out of work induced lurkdom to declare that Jimmy Johns delivery is one of my favorite things ever. Yum.

Also, my back is so much better I've been able to do yoga stretches two days in a row without wanting to cry!! Aaah! Life is good, y'all.

Is anyone still taking prenatals? I just ran out of my bottle from when I was pg (cue sadness)...should I get more?

I have continued taking them and LO will be 6 months next week. I plan on continuing until I'm done breastfeeding .

Plus I want to get pregnant again soon do may as well continue.

I'd be so happy!!

I can't seem to even give them away! There's only so many you can eat fresh. Last year I made jelly, and vodka. This year I may attempt molasses if I can't off load them.

chichi589 · October 2014

Chase is 19 lbs 10oz 27 in 2 weeks ago at his 6 month appt. we don't use the f word(fat) in our house, mommy gets sensitive $:\$ "> he's perfect! he was eff til 5 1/2 months & wears 9 month & 12 months carters & Oshkosh clothes mostly

JessieAlbin · October 2014

Sullivan's a big boy too, but really he's just tall and solid.. Only truly chunky in the thighs! Can't wait to see his stats at his 6 month well check in about a week and a half. It amazes me how big he is already but I shouldn't be surprised, his daddy is built tall and thick too :x

eireyes · October 2014

@RedDawnsRevenge I'm so jealous of the pons - I love those things!

RedDawnsRevenge · October 2014

@Jessieann1020‌ you need to start by cutting the top of the pom off, what used to be the flower. With the top removed you will see segments, similar to an orange. Cut along these segments. With the poms in segments the arils will pop out pretty easily.

edoliesmom · October 2014

@dani+california‌ In reference to your Quinn album on FB, we used to listen to the oldies in the car all the time growing up. One day my dad thought that song said, "When Quinn the Eskimo gets here, all the b*tches gonna run to him." Hahahaha

Xxlilies · October 2014

Donut showdown is a fabulous show

kseccomb17 · October 2014

G is a big kid... He was 22lbs 29 inches at his check up 3 weeks ago. He's about 50% bf 50% ff.

kseccomb17 · October 2014

I had a root canal today. I have a broken tooth root from falling on mother's day. The worst part was the novocain. I had never gotten a shot on my pallet before.

Whyyyyy did my baby decide he hates pacis? My nipples hurt so bad from his comfort nursing (

All of this. I tried a paci again today and he just looks at me like "you're kidding right?"

I had a root canal a couple weeks ago and the pallet shot was weird! I would rather give birth with no meds again than have tooth pain!! Did they tell you the third day would be painful? Cause it is but then it's all good. Hope you heal fast

LO was 16.8lb and 26" at his 6 mo checkup, he's EFF.

Just wondering if anyone does any at home workout DVDs or programs. I just don't go to the gym anymore...I only really like the classes and they always take place during LOs nap times, so I just don't end up going, so I think I need to just workout at home. Insanity workout or p90x are probably too hardcore for me (definitely too hardcore). At the gym I usually do Zumba...has anyone done any Zumba at home? Any recommendations are appreciated!

No suggestions but I've been thinking of doing the same. I was going to check the library for videos. DH suggested looking to see what Amazon prime has on streaming, if you have that.

Hulu has some workout videos I've used. I should do that again - I've been such a slacker.

Now that I know this I can't totally watch videos and work out.

MrsL13 · October 2014

Baby L was 12 lbs 6 1/2 oz and 24 1/2 in long at her 6 month appointment. She was EBF and is now on formula bc my supply went to shit.

michaelad3 · October 2014

I used to do some workouts on YouTube. They have a lot of the pop sugar fitness ones

janellemj928 · October 2014

Tired of hearing the words "I'll do it tomorrow" come out of DHs mouth. Because that translates to "it's never going to get done." So I said something about what he said he was going to do today and he got pissy. Well then I guess you should've done it yesterday when you were just being a lazy ass. Never mind the fact that you're in bed before me every night and up after me in the morning.

Has D ever taken one before? S used one from 1-5 months and suddenly hates them!!

He's never liked them. He tolerated one for a split second when he was a newborn but he's never been into them

Targets toy book was leaked today. I looked through it. Why can't I be 10 again?

I have Shawn T's (insanity guy) Rockin body workout DVDs , they are dance workouts. I barely do then but like them. They were on sale for $20 when I got them.

Unfortunately no Amazon prime or Hulu in Canada

Bummer! I didn't realize you are in Canada. Well, at least you have universal health care.

It's a secret group. You can't search for it, so you probably requested the wrong one. @irisheyez7 can add you.

I can! Send me a message!
