@Kaylajade8911‌ I tried. I think they are okay with me not getting them much. I just feel weird about it.

I want to go to my insurance company home office and TP all the people. Hospitals and health insurance companies are so fucked. People are just $$ to them. Forget the fact that I had a really dangerous situation happening when I went into labor I guess I should've just rolled the fucking dice there! Assholes...I'm so mad and it's only 10am

I feel ya, some person in Utah "reviewed my case" and found that my gallbladder removal was not medically necessary.

Apparently they missed that fact that near 25% of c-sections require a gallbladder removal...

So y'all know the formula coupon thread? I posted about my coupons, and I had someone message me about it... but I didn't recognize the name, so I looked at their post history, and ALL of their posts are on coupon threads. Nothing else.

Should I take this to mean that she really needs the coupons and I should give them to her? Or should I save them for someone that is a part of our board? Because my intention was to help someone I know... but I didn't clarify WHO I would send to... I don't know. Maybe I'm making a way bigger deal out of this than I should.

I wouldn't send them. There are people who do nothing but troll boards for coupons.

Paging @Syllessa‌ who I'm sure has special land set aside for asshole insurance people .

I do, I do! And I have a lot of extra time for digging graves, feeding coyotes, and otherwise hiding evidence.

CNJ4EVA · December 2014

@pnwlover12‌ Thanks a million!

Syllessa · December 2014

I will have all this extra time mentioned above b/c i called work and quit, except as PRN. I know my boss is not happy, and I'm sorry it was such short notice (supposed to go back tonight) but:

I just couldn't handle leaving Alex yet. I'd rather tighten our purse strings and live a little lean (Christmas shopping pretty much done) than be unhappy going back. I'll rethink it in a month.

Those that swaddle... What do you use if the pajamas are micro fleece? I feel like wrapping her in a sleep sack would be too hot. But our house gets to about 68 degrees at night and she'll wake herself up with arms flailing all over if she's not contained.

We use the Aiden & Anais muslin swaddle blankets.

victoria+james · December 2014

FFMC: I've thought about PMing @Syllessa‌ with a story about actually needing a place to hide a body and a plan for how to get it to her. I was going to try so hard to sound serious! Just because I feel that no matter what the reaction was it would be epic.

windwithfingers · December 2014

Okay here are DS's stats:

At birth: 8lbs 7oz, 19.5in

At 9w1d: 15lbs 8oz, 23.5in

The pedi kept saying he looks like a 4 month old!

He also cried a lot when he got his shots but I didn't then I nursed him to sleep. He also bled all over his sleeper

He's now asleep on my chest at home. Poor baby.

Jennifer18131 · December 2014

Oh, hai! Little man is 6 weeks now and we've turned a corner! He's still fussy but he falls asleep in the swing during the day and sleeps in his crib at night. I'm still mobile bumping bc my computer is shot so y'all overlook my outdated ticker.

FFMC/MOTY: it didn't occur to me until 1 month that I needed to clean between DS's toes. It was so gross. And smelly.

Missed you guyses. Smooches.

ANGnJON · December 2014

@Jennifer18131‌ Hey, welcome back! I was just thinking of you the other day!

angeltennis3 · December 2014

I always side eyed people a little bit when they say they cried when LO got shots...I mean we KNOW they will cry but it only hurts for a little bit...

No more side eye here. LO got one shot today and I instantly cried when I saw her little face go beet red. She will be getting all of the snuggles today.

However, she is starting to give me big smiles which gives me ALL of the feels.

MuffinMom14 · December 2014

I used to take wine in the tub with me. Things have changed.

But. 5 loads of laundry, 5 miles ran, back and bis done, dishwasher loaded, legs shaved, hair washed, beds made, cyber Monday shopped. Mommy Achievement Unlocked.

@Leysin97‌ we haven't been swaddling because he's always hated it. I'm rethinking this and am going to try to get to the store today to look at options. I need him to stop screaming again this afternoon so I can actually get a shower. Ugh.

My daughter hates it. She whines, kicks, and tries to get out of it until she falls asleep and resumes when she wakes up. DH calls it a straight jacket. I have a bunch of swaddleme too but she rolls over in that so don't use them.

I didn't know my person either. Maybe it's the same one. I didn't really care. I have the samples to @geetargirl05‌ so I felt good about that part.

Really? Why? I had a section but have no gallbladder so it didn't matter but that's weird.

H and I buy what the other wants in his case he likes watches the way I like Vera Bradley.

I was seriously about to write about how my LO is currently wearing a Vera onesie and it's killing me. It's SO freaking cute. Starting her young.

I have that print on a dress for A! My old college roommate surprised me. I haven't even seen her in 11 years. It was so sweet.

@Saragoeswest‌ I'm getting mine today too. Why the cytotec? I didn't have to take any of that...

To soften the cervix I guess? How did it go for you? I just got home. It wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. I think the speculum is the worst part. Now I'm cramping though and that kinda blows. I got a holiday drink at Starbucks as a reward.

Yeah I have no idea, but both the general surgeon and my OB have several patients like that. It's I guess not uncommon for pregnant women to have gallbladder issues too. Mostly stones, but they have infected ones too.

On the topic of swaddling, We swaddle every night but my husband has to do it. He has an unbreakable swaddle that I'm sure has something to do with working food service for years lol.

My question is in regards to getting stuff done around the house. I have this issue with getting things done. I feel guilty if I just let her go in her swing for a couple hours, but I obviously can't get any done holding her all the time. I have a carrier but she will only be complacent in it if I am doing something where I am moving. So what do you ladies do?

MuffinMom14 · December 2014

I have never filled a prescription so fast, and birth control pills have never tasted so delicious going down.

Leysin97 · December 2014

So MIL is watching LO today. We went to a movie and I pumped in the car there and when I got home. In that time LO ate about 7 oz. I was only able to pump not quite 6 in 2 sessions....

Poor baby slept 3.5 hours and woke up screaming. Real tears and everything. You can tell his legs are sore. I feel so sad for him.

Saragoeswest · December 2014

iPhone users:

Have you played around with predictive text? Like typing the words that it suggests you use? I am a random humor kind of gal (if you didn't already know) so it cracks me up. They almost sound like they make sense.

For example: I am not going to get a job at my house in the first time since the beginning of this year and the other hand is not the same thing.

Tylenol?

Yep, gave it to him. He just kicks his legs so much that while waiting for it to kick in he just cries.

Guise why do babies accumulate all that lint in their toes ?!
I love picking it out. X_X
I picked so much out of DS's toes yesterday! Also -- how do they accumulate such gunk in their hands? I have no idea where this comes from.

I need to make Christmas pictures happen this week -- anyone taken their LO to see Santa? I'm thinking of trying ... but feel like it might be crazy.

I took Noah during the day on a week day right after the lunch break. He was fast asleep and we didn't have to wait in line. The pictures were adorable and perfect for our Christmas card.

MrsSinner402 · December 2014

First nap of the day at 6pm? Awesome. Tonight will probably be just like the last. FML.

I took mine to santa. She was sleeping so he pretended to sleep and it turned out so adorable!

Those that bf and pump for the sake of a stash and not supplementing, do you sub sessions for pumping and offer a bottle, instead, or pump after a bf sesh? I've got a good supply now, more than she needs and I'm afraid that if I pump after I feed her, my boobies will start making way more than we need and I'll be engorged all the time.

Right now, if I pump after feeding her, I get about 5oz from both. I feed her on one side at each feeding and have no idea how much she eats because I can't get her to take more than 2oz from a bottle before she gets pissed and wants boobies... Suggestions?

Eta: current pump info

I pump every morning, usually an hour before a feeding and then sometimes ill pump again in the afternoon an hour before a feeding.. im definitely not engorged ever and in the morning I pump 5-6 oz and in the afternoon 3-4

Do you swaddle for naps? Where does she sleep during the day IF she sleeps?

No I don't swaddle for naps. Usually the couch on her back or in her swing and we usually have good nights. These past few days shes just not taking daytime naps.

she's gotten into a routine of sleeping from about 11ish -4 and last night was the first time in a while that shes done this. :-<

I stick her in the swing or bouncy seat. I mean, she has to sleep.

I had my first day back at work today. And I found out that a woman I work with developed cancer and passed away while I was on maternity leave.

Sad warning...

She was also on maternity leave.
