My BFF (is it still OK to use that term when you are over 15yo?) and I have planned a weekly craft night. She has a painting that she started 5 years ago that she needs to finish and I'm going to work on some drawings. I'm so excited.
I'm jealous @mcbush! I have akid who has never been much of a napper until this summer really. Finally I knew what it was like to have a 1-2 hr break in the day to clean, work, or just relax. Well as the days are getting shorter (prior to DST it wasn't getting light out until close to 8:30 here) M has been sleeping later and later which seems to have really affected her desire to nap. No more 1-2 hr naps twice a day. We are down to a 25-40 min nap once a day. My house is really noticing the change
@mcbush, i must have missed your post (if you posted) about your night. I'm sorry! I'm glad she's giving you a bit of a break now . Hopefully tonight goes better.
@GermaphobE doesn't have to either! We've done ok with the time change this time,but honestly, it might be worth moving to Saskatchewan to just not have to deal with it anymore! DH keeps talking about moving home...
P.S. @megsw85, when it comes to DST, what happens in the border city? I know there's no PST so that the SK side can compete with AB, but do you follow AB time or SK time?
Real lyfe question: How are you ladies using public restrooms at places like Target now that our LOs are this age? So times you don't have a stroller. Sometimes there's enough room to bring in the whole art, but that seems weird. I used to just hold him while peeing, but that is getting seriously challenging. Am I missing an obvious solution here?
@Cricket81 - I usually have her stand in front of me, try to pee as quickly as I can, and keep her in arms reach so I can grab her hands away from anything she's about to touch if she isn't listening. It is not the easiest, or most effective, but I really haven't found any other option if I don't have the stroller.
I'm sure I'm behind everyone on this but we went to see Gone Girl over the weekend and it was so good! If you are sitting on the fence it is totally worth seeing in theatres.
@megaroo64 - Great to get clutter minimized! I did a little of that this weekend too and have a lots more to do. Now that I have started I am really motivated. Hadn't thought about putting maternity clothes in space bags. I had a cute maternity wardrobe and I don't want to get rid of it since I hope I will need it again.
Leaving work early today didn't happen. I made the mistake of going into my bosses office about 30 minutes before I was scheduled to leave and ended up talking to her for an hour
So the people who mail all the election crap promised on one of their flyers (so totally legit) that if I voted early I would be taken off the lists. They are liars. Big fat liars.
I'm so glad the election is tomorrow so my mail will stop being filled with election junk!
I wish I got the crap in my mail because it would go straight into my recycle bin, wouldn't even make it inside. Instead I get tons of phone calls everyday! Makes me nuts and I'm over it so they usually get yelled at.
So my mom called as per her usual after work chat and we were talking about the baby coming and what I need etc and I mentioned about signing up for the breastfeeding class and how excited I am. She ignores that and asks about bottles and formula because B still uses his bottles and we hate them. I told her I am not buying new bottles and formula because I plan on breastfeeding and if I buy formula I may give up more easily if its there. She told me how I shouldn't count on that and bigger babies need more milk and I won't be able to give enough. She is very anti breastfeeding and pro formula. She tried discouraging me from even trying. I am feeling really shitty right now. I know Dh will be there for me and I love him for that. It just upsets me that she can't be supportive of me and my decisions ever.
Since she ignores you talking about breast feeding just ignore her comments about formula/bottles. If she gets you some put them up. Out of sight out of mind.
@riansmommie I've been hearing a lot of people complain about the phone calls too. We decided 3 months ago to disconnect our landline phone, which seems like it was just in time!
I wish we could disconnect our landline but we have it to keep our internet costs down and so that my DDs school has a second way to get a hold of me in an emergency. The calls are the worst! Just today alone from 9am-530pm I have had 14 calls from election people. Grrrrr!!!
@LimaBeanMOM I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. Remember that we are here to support you with whatever choices you decide work best for you and your family. I have really enjoyed BFing and I'm always thrilled when I hear another mama who is enthusiastic about it. Have fun at your class and I bet you'll meet some awesome moms there too!
@LimaBeanMOM - My mom and grandmother were the same. It was just how they were raised. It was disappointing not to have support from any women in my family. I remember them being surprised I was still nursing when KJ was 8 months. I just had to block out their opinions. We are here to support you! Breastfeeding isn't easy but you can do it!
Haha, yessss! This is awesome because I kept telling mike the signs were so good and then I literally could not remember one! I'm pretty sure buzzfeed is missing the fact that the antelope one is a Phish reference. Which is oddly specific in itself and must have been for someone specific!

@calikat80 in the caption under that pic it did say it was in reference to Phish. I was confused until I saw it.
@LimaBeanMOM - I am sorry you are going through that- my MIL is the same way. But as others have said, we are here to support you! And I am personally psyched that you are psyched about your breast feeding class. And honestly, I have gotten a lot of joy out of breast feeding- and with number two, it is nice to have some times of the day when you get to bond with the new baby
Also, @LimaBeanMOM - I had big babies both times (9 pounds 2 ounces and 8 pounds 9 ounces) and I didn't have to supplement right away for either- so size doesn't necessarily matter.
Why can't men be patient when it comes to new gadgets? H is annoying me with all his talks and wanting to move to verizon and get new big iphone6 aka size of a tablet phone. He can't even make it to 2 yrs without wanting to get a new phone!!! Not what I want to research, analyze etc at home.
@WasNotWas and @mcbush being in NYC I feel like "fuck" was in way more signs than usual which totally made me laugh. My favorite was "fuck the wall! Keep running!"
