I'm sorry, @squnkie even when you think you're ready and emotionally prepared, losing a pet is never easy. I'm glad your pup had a nice comfy spot, on a beautiful day, and felt all of your love shining through.
PS. The Rainbow Bridge is emotional torture.

And now it's down to 376 pages, and at this rate, I can't see if the random thread is broken on my end or TBs because I can't see if there are responses to this. Boo.
I have found a new hobby. Making headbands with flowers and bows and such. So much fun! And it goes really quick too. Poor DD is going to end up with a million of these things.
DS is in 6 months clothes. What?! He didn't even wear half the 3 months clothes that people bought for him. Looks like momma has some shopping to do.
Glad I'm not the only one! She's actually grown out of a couple of her 6 mo sleepers already because she's too long! Crazy. She's 3 months old tomorrow.
Please tell me going back to work isn't so bad? I go back tomorrow and am having all the anxiety. Maybe I will use that anxiety to clean my house today.
I'm not back to work yet, but feeling anxious as the time comes closer.
When I returned to work after my first baby, I was super nervous. I went back with an open mind that if I hated it I would quit. I ended up really enjoying being a working mom. I liked the social outlet work provided. I liked the structure of my time and felt it made me a more attentive parent. I liked knowing that my child was safe with people who cared for him, while I did my job.
You'll be ok, it just takes a few days to get the routine down. Do you have specific concerns, or just overall anxiety?
It's an adjustment, @ZeroZeroOne, but find what works for you. I grocery shop during my lunch break, putting cold stuff in my work fridge, found less need for cleaning since I was at work, and found myself partnering with dh for parenting brought us closer after I went back to work. It's hard working with an infant, and it 'takes a village', but you will make it work. GL!
I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt and assume the avatars are messed up. I'm mobile so that's probably why. When I get to work I will double check it. They have the same avatar as me so I'm sure it's just a glitch.
You ladies with the big babies are blowing my mind. DD just had her 4 month check and she's 10-25% for weight (per her Dr, I think she's closer to 10 and he didn't want to worry me) and 25% for length. Dr isn't worried at all, so I'm not, but at this rate we'll be in 3 month clothes through December.
I'm packing away some clothes that don't fit DS anymore, and it's making me sad and wanting another one! It definitely won't happen for a while, but why do they have to grow so fast!?
I had a dream last night that DS started breastfeeding again..
Definitely woke up sad, I wish people would stop telling me I could produce milk again and continue bf, part of me wants to try but the other part keeps thinking he stopped on his own and is doing good on formula, but damn do I miss it.

I did this last night. Similar to @litera I'm keeping it all in hopes that I'll use it again, or even once since DS grew so fast he didn't even wear everything.

So much for that "good" idea of buying clothes ahead, such as 12 month summer clothes. I think I'm gonna need winter :-?

I'm not noticing that, but WTF?
@jnnfrrose6 wow! My girl was between the 85th and 92nd percentile at her 2 month appointment and has just kept on growing since then!
