@elodiesmom good luck! I remember how nervous I was when we transitioned from the RNP to the PNP. Hope it goes super well!

My university is launching a class on "Dr Who." I've never seen the show but I hear people talk about it a lot.

LO slept all night! He was waking up 3-5 times per night a week ago, and after a week of Sleepeasy solution sleep training, BOOM. STTN.

Anyone have any good recipes for dog? X(

Dear SAHPs, jokes about knowing the baby better is hurtful to the working parent. Sincerely, a working parent who wishes she weren't.

ambarnett1 · November 2014

I'm so sorry @Teresa1896‌. Hugs. Prayers for their sweet baby.

@edoliesmom I hope all went well. We were so nervous when we moved ds from the RNP to the crib. We're still having problems after his transition out of the MM suit.

@embear22 I don't think DS would even let me use a nosa freida if we had one. It's torture cleaning his nose and we do it every night, so he can breathe well for bed.

DS screamed for an hour at 4:45 for no reason. Plus DH and I stayed up working things out/watching our "shows", so I didn't get nearly enough sleep. I think I'm getting a cold too. Ugh. Hopefully DH doesn't work tomorrow, so I can take a nap.

ambarnett1 · November 2014

Also, thanks for the input on the trip. I don't think I'll be going. My dad will be upset, but I just can't manage and I don't want to go without DH. We are seeing my mom's family (7 hr drive) for Thanksgiving because of my grandfather's heart attack. At least I know that my mom will help and watch DS while DH and I go out. I feel bad, but those people care about me and DH is going, so it'll be easier.

I don't trust the meat that was frozen in my defective ass fridge/freezer for us to eat, so it looks like the dogs are getting stews. All the meat is covered in excessive freezer burn and ice crystals which indicates to me that it has been unfrozen and refrozen in there.

I wouldn't trust it either.

DS is going to daycare tonight for like, two hours, while DH and I have a nice dinner. He doesn't normally eat during this time-frame. Do I need to send a bottle?

I would, just in case. I always carry one with me whether I think it's needed or not.

Thanks, ladies! I need to get over my hoarding of frozen milk. I don't have much, but I can't take it with me in January!

ambarnett1 · November 2014

Bring a bottle. You don't want to get a call to come back early because LO is hungry.

Shelbysteffens · November 2014

I've had high anxiety my entire life, it pairs well with my type a personality and I always was able to make good use out of it, but since DS was born its a little different. I feel mentally exhausted at the end of the day, even when the day wasn't close to being so bad. I can't seem to calm down at night, I'm left awake at least an hour later than DH. I'm a list maker, and a planner. I've worked around the anxiety the past few months, but since going back to work this week it's higher than its ever been and everything makes me feel sick and panicky. I'm not sure if it's because I'm doing something new, and my routine is different, or if it's something else. If this weekend doesn't get any better I think I'm going to make an appointment with my pcp next week. I just don't think I can handle this feeling for much longer.

@celticlullaby‌ that's sucks, I'm sorry. Instead of baking stuff you could always go to the store and buy some potato salad or something, put it in one of your bowls and voila! You made something! Lol
You're so smart - I could just buy a cheesecake, and dump the blueberry sauce I made & canned on top. I was going to make butternut squash risotto too, but I'm thinking I'll just roast squash with spinach and craisins and pecans instead. All I have to do is chop some stuff and put it in the oven that way. DH will make potatoes, and then that's a full meal, right? I always want to go totally overboard cooking - I need to learn to rein myself in!

I have a receipe for a great no bake cheesecake. It is whipped a fluffy but still yummy cheesecakey. I usually top it off with blueberries

takes about 5 minutes and then sets in the fridge. people always think it is amazing because it is so decadent. i can give you the recipe if you want. i got it from grandma who got it off a box of powdered sugar in the 1930's

lokimau · November 2014

I will send it as soon as LO is done eating. It's in my computer

ambarnett1 · November 2014

@Shelbysteffens‌ I too deal with anxiety, along with depression. I am type A personality as well. I plan EVERYTHING. My husband hates it. I finally got back on meds, but quickly fell pregnant again. Since I stopped taking those meds and my depression/anxiety is through the roof. I should probably think about a safe med for pregnancy, so my DH can live to see his 2nd child. Soooo, I say go. It will help and make you feel better. Hugs. I can understand how hard it is. Sorry for rambling.

lokimau · November 2014

I forgot I can access my computer from my phone lol. Anyway, dream whip is on the baking aisle in a box. I usually use graham cracker crusts if I am in a hurry. Still turns out yummy. Makes 2 pies. There is no way to half the recipe. I have tried many times. Just ends up flat.

2 baked pie shells
1 large package cream cheese
1 cup sugsr
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 packages Dreamwhip
1 can blueberry pie filling

Let pie shells cool completely. Mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Prepare Dreamwhip as directed, using both envelopes, add vanilla and fold the Dreamwhip into the cream cheese mixture. Place half the cream cheese mixture in each pie sheel, top with the blueberry pie filling and let chill for a few hours.

Baby and dog are "talking" to each other through the door, and taking turns scratching at it.

Shelbysteffens · November 2014

I broke down and called my mom because I was so overwhelmed. I'm going to go in tonight and speak to my manager about maybe being a host for now, I feel like serving is just too much. Between making that decision and deciding to see my doctor I feel like a thousand lbs is gone. It feels a little easier to breathe now that I have a plan.

Thank you for the positive thoughts and hugs.

Now I just have to get ahold of DH so I can fill him in.

LizChad09 · November 2014

Leaving tomorrow for our cruise!! I can't wait! Kinda worried about how Savannah will do, but we are cruising on Disney, so I know they will take good care of us.

edoliesmom · November 2014

@CalinAZ‌ @MrsStanton87‌ @ambarnett1 Thanks! I guess it could've gone worse, but she woke up 4 times, twice to eat, and my husband didn't stay with her long enough at 6 to make sure she was going to stay asleep, so I got to take over at 7 and wouldn't go back to sleep til 8:15. Hoping tonight goes better because she doesn't sleep that much better in her RNP. I think she's getting uncomfortable in it because she can't easily turn on her side. But if she turns in her PNP, she wakes herself up! Can't win. (:|

Edit: tagged the wrong person! Oops!

Ok, I'll stop spamming after this -

But do you really, really throw out the filter every single time you use the nosefrida? It didn't come with enough to get me through the day with both kids if I really do that.
I don't.

Me either. I think I just change it when I don't need to use it anymore.

JessieAlbin · November 2014

I got picked for the final three at the main event! Woohoo! Now I just need to present in front of a fancy schmancy audience who paid $75 a head, and make them like me enough to pick me for the $5,000 prize. Nbd. :-SS ^#(^

Nope I use it several times (days) before changing. 99% of the time nothing gets on it. Change it if something does.

Could set my clock by AF. WTF. I'm broken except while BFing? My body is so backasswards

Re: Nose Frida Filter

You're supposed to throw it out?

It comes with extras?

Oh lord...

:-\"

RedDawnsRevenge · November 2014

FFF: I have had my nose Freda 2.5 years I have never replaced the filter. It didn't come with extras. I just wash it.

edoliesmom · November 2014

Nose Fridas come with 3 filters. I almost threw it away because it just looks like a little blue sponge, but you have to punch them out.

I'd have been tempted to punch her too. It's not like I want my child to be throwing a fit. People expect you to just give up and leave a store then that happens. If I had left a store everytime DD1 threw a fit we'd have died of starvation as there wasn't anyone else to get the grocery shopping done.

hlm184 · November 2014

Seriously. First, there's no "nice" way to tell someone to make their child be quiet. And if you're the kind of person who tells that mom to "go to hell" a few moments later, I doubt it was actually all that nicely phrased to begin with.

michaelad3 · November 2014

@celticlullaby‌ my little one has a cold and had her first tooth start to break through yesterday as well. She's been a little fussy and waking up more than usual, but I'm pleasantly surprised by how well my poor sick baby is handling it all

RedDawnsRevenge · November 2014

DH coming home Sunday. I'm staying at the coast since I work Monday. The site manager in Montana came down and said they didn't need any extra man power so today is DHs last day of work. His boss is looking for more contracts but it's going to take a while. It seems like we are always taking one step forward to have to take 3 more back.

Of course I have no clue who my gift exchange buddy is. Maybe I need to venture out of rtt more [-(

Shelbysteffens · November 2014

I feel the same way, or I should learn people's real names haha

Even after investigating the screen name I'm still clueless as to who she is. I'll just check out her post history to get a feel of her interests.
