I mean seriously, he brought me the big boobs I asked for when I was 13, he should totally come through again!

Or maybe he could like give me a Turkey Day present, that would be better.

Took today off. DH's bday and I just needed it. I'm feeling all the feels today as I sort through and put away babyG's too small clothes....

@ramfan05 That is really is ridiculous. I'm annoyed for you.

Meghan14 · November 2014

@Joybaby5 : good for you looking out for the kitties! High of 7? Does not compute. I really hope you mean 7c.

@avswolf : fighting urge to go check that thread out... will try to go fold laundry instead.

@broccolisgirl‌ we got that for LO too!

Codypup · November 2014

Heyyy!!! I'm home!!! And zomg, I LOVED IT. Love love love love loved it. I didn't crash the van, the girls were intimidating but pretty nice, I witnessed and helped deal with an emotional breakdown, and I absolutely, 100% felt like I fit right in.

I can't wait until tomorrow!!!!!!!!

I feel like I've travelled back to the 90s. I've spent the greater part of the day trying to figure out how to use the scanner in my office and where the images go when I scanned them. I am failing miserably at this task.

This has probably been covered, but after you scan the documents, is any icon blinking on your desktop? Usually, I double click on that, it opens, and I rename and save to a folder.

@Katybriggs sorry about your foot. Booo-urns to that.

courtls22 · November 2014

@Codypup I'm so happy for you! Your description of your day made me tear up. Not many people find work they love.

LO is a teething heathen. He already has 6 teeth and they barely gave him any trouble. I foolishly thought this was going to go easy for us the whole time.

He's been extra whiny, needy, and gnawing for weeks. I feel really bad for him and have tried all of the things I can come up with to help but it has been to no avail.

Does anyone have any secrets that have worked with your LO? I'm in desperate need!

courtls22 · November 2014

He weirdly doesn't care for cold things. I've only tried Tylenol so I will be picking up Motrin ASAP.

He likes gnawing on his toothbrush, I will probably go grab that right now!

When nothing else works for teething (medicine, frozen/cold things, etc) I put LO in the bath just to let him play. Water is his most favorite thing and it will calm him down every time without fail. I've even just filed up the sink and let him sit in there if I don't want to draw up a whole bath.

I'm sorry you're having such a tough time.

courtls22 · November 2014

I'm sorry @armfruit I hope you have a better day tomorrow!

shellbell3845 · November 2014

I'm slighly worried/fairly certain that I downloaded a virus to my laptop while I was trying to download a cute snowman font. DH will just be so thrilled.

Holy mother fuck, I am exhausted. I forgot how tiring it is to get up at 5, work a full day, and then do solo night time stuff with the babe.

TessyMessy · November 2014

@Codypup‌ Yay!! I'm so glad your first day went well!! So did you iron out the poop logistics?

ramfan05 · November 2014

@avswolf, you are too sweet! Thank you!

@iwubrory @bluedot818 @mevaroo, totally ridiculous, right?! It's not like they don't know where to find me I don't bring in the $3.80 an adult lunch costs in the cafeteria! It's all good though, I just ate some extra cheese while I was making our enchiladas tonight

Codypup · November 2014

Thanks for all the well wishes, guys! I kept thinking about how I couldn't wait to report back to F14.

It's thunder snowing here.

This is kind of fantastic. I wish our snow was accompanied by thunder... or just delete the snow from the equation

It's interesting. The lightning is really intense, and the thunder shakes our whole house.

@penguin173

I basically serve as a staff member at a residential treatment house/center. I chaperone, drive, assist, supervise meals, hand out meds, etc. Soon I'll be leading some groups (WHAAAT) and that kind of thing.

Day 1 = a wonderful success. ALSO I forgot to tell you guys, I should be able to bump still! lol. There's a 3 hour window every morning when they're in group and I have nothing to do but sit and surf the interwebz.

And on that note, I am going to bed. 5am is going to come really freaking early.

ramfan05 · November 2014

@Codypup, I'm so happy for you! I know you were really worried about how things would play out once you moved, but it sounds like things are starting to fall into place! I'm so happy that you found a job doing something you love!

MissDemeanor · November 2014

We are leaving for Mexico in the morning, and I'm starting to feel really anxious about it. I tried to nap with LO earlier today, but I couldn't relax, just think of the 425 things I wanted to do/get before then. BF is out at the moment, so LO and I are hanging out, but since I still can't do anything on my list I'm getting stressed again.

But really, I know that Mexico is fine, I've been there before. I've even heard a rumour that they also have grocery stores there.

shellbell3845 · November 2014

@missdemeanor what specifically are you worried about? Can we help you? Can we ease your mind?

That's the thing, I don't have any "real" worries, it's all just crazy anxiety stuff. The drive part is going to suck, and I'm not looking forward to that. Maybe it's because a few people have said negative things lately, about how I'm risking LO's safety by going. Obviously I don't believe that's true, or I'd never consider it, but it's hard not to let that get into my head.

Okay. You're doing a great job at this, mama. Yeah, the drive might suck, but everything has gone [relatively] smoothly thus far right? And if you hate Mexico, is there a reason you can't just turn around and go somewhere else?

(((hugs))) I'll be thinking of you.

You're still bumping from Mexico, right?

@bookshelves I'm in your boat right now.

When LO turned 6 months we argued because DH wanted to sleep train so she would learn to put herself to sleep. It got to the point where we were spending 45-60 minutes rocking her and she wouldn't fall asleep, just want to play with my face. I knew we had to do something cuz she needed to nap, so I caved and sleep trained. It wAs brutal, but it worked and lo could easily fall asleep on her own after a week or two and we've had no problems since.

Fast forward to 4 days ago. Lo is teething and will not nap and screams bloody murder when I try and put her in her crib. She'll be out cold on my shoulder, and wake up screaming the second I try and put her down. No way in heck I will sleep train when she is teething, but DH is on my case again. Saying she's just doing it because she doesn't want to leave me. It's so frustrating to argue over this every night. I hope to God she goes back to normal after her tooth cuts.

@TyrannosaurusLex‌ does he rock her to sleep in the swaddle?

We are on 10x no go in the crib, but he is also screaming while I hold him. There's nothing either of us can do for him, it's hysterics in the crib and hysterics when either of us is holding him... I don't know which it worse...

When this happens I let lo comfort suck on me for a ridiculously long time until she is so calm and asleep. Could you try his tonight?

For the first time ever tonight, lo calmed down while I stood above her crib and rubbed her head/back and shushed. This has literally never happened before...have you tried this @BlueDot818‌ ? I know it sounds like crazy talk to think he would fall asleep like that (which is what I thought since she always screams when I do this), but just thought I'd mention it since it worked for me tonight!

rachaelmary · November 2014

BlueDot818 said:
@rachaelmary haven't tried the shushing... and he has been too hyper to nurse for any length of time. He just pooped, so maybe that was the problem... that's what I'm hoping anyway. ..

Fx that was the issue and he will sleep now! It's so frustrating when they won't just go to sleep in their crib.

rachaelmary · November 2014

Oh man, I'm sorry!! Have you tried taking a break from attempting bed time and distracting him for a bit?

When L gets inconsolable, lately I've put on a baby Einstein video to help distract her from bed and or whatever is bothering her. Then once she starts smiling at me and trying to crawl/move around I'll go back and nurse again or rock again.

Join too! Except it's only me, not DH. The last few nights she's gone down fine but when she wakes in the MOTN I can't calm her in the crib. She spits out her pacifier and says "ma" which breaks my heart so I pick her up and she falls asleep on my chest. I'm paranoid to sleep like this. Ahh!
