@amandajean12 printed labels on All the Things! We have little babies! It was get Dh to stick the mailing labels on envelopes or no Christmas cards or birth announcement at all.
Want to TP one of the managers I support. He knows that I am workings mornings only this month and asked at 10 am if I could do a teleconference this afternoon. Ummm, no. I have plans. Didn't tell him that my plans involved shopping with C and taking a walk. I don't have much leave left and I am not going to give up an afternoon of it due to poor planning on his part.
Married 10/06
Baby Girl "C" arrived on 10/07/14 (39 weeks, 6 days)
Final got back home from taking care of my Dad. Got DDs passport resubmitted since the post office screwed up. Put her child care deposit down, she's starting the 19th of Jan!
Now we are just waiting for Friday for my DH to get back, 3 weeks is a long time when baby is growing this fast.
My FIL is annoyed that we call my step dad grandad. He said its weird because he isn't blood related.
My dad isn't around and he has raised me since I was 10. Is my being annoyed justified ?
He sounds a little jealous that he has to share the grandpa title. I would tell him to stop being so petty, that this is a man who raised you like his own child and he deserves the title. Maybe remind him that being a grand parent is a priviledge and not something his is entitled to.
@sabby2 I normally can tell which ones are older by how much of the fat has settled to the top. You have about 8 days you can keep it in the fridge, has it hit that mark yet?
I am also a weepy mess. Yesterday there was a news story about a new mom who's cancer came back and they gave her a year to live. Her baby looked the same age as ours. I had a big ugly cry.
I'm stuffing, addressing (with printed labels - the horror!!) and sealing envelopes for Christmas cards. I really wish I had a sponge. Blech
Hope you splurged on the good envelopes! (every time I like an envelope I think about that Seinfeld episode)
So today instead of seeing my little guy at lunch I am going to a luncheon with people from work. It is going to be a long day without seeing his little face.
I ordered these potion bottle things And they turned up today. But the tops have leaked and one has no label. One has set funny. Would I be a total bitch if I asked for a refund?
It's from America so it's not like I can return or get a replacement in time for Christmas. The money could go towards a replacement gift.
Also, the new announcements thread is now a newb intro thread?
?? Sorry if I posted in the wrong place and contributed to thread clutter! I thought I should introduce myself instead of just showing up out of nowhere, and it seemed like others were putting intros there. Also the thread title says "new users start here", and I guess I read it as "new users start POSTING here". Tired eyes! Sorry, though.
@kaylajade, I agree with others that you are justified in being annoyed with the annoyance. And @amandajean, I am a fan of preprinted everything. If anyone genuinely has a problem, they need to get over it. Ask them to watch the baby for the day and by the way, address these 100 envelopes in your spare time, thanks. I'll bet they would change their mind! :-)
I'm crying over everything too. And the other night, I dreamed about my nipple shield, which was weird. It was suddenly opaque instead of clear, and was also filled with sand. Ouchie.

Eh... we all thread clutter. Hell this is a randoms thread. We literally talk about nothing and everything.
Ugh, we leave for a 21 hour roadtrip to disney on Saturday and my throat feels like sandpaper!! Also, family photos on Friday and about eleventy billion things to do....
Maybe this is best left for the FFFC or maybe I shouldn't share it at all but oh well....I shit myself today ladies. Yes, I've gotten the stomach bug that my whole family has had and this morning...I shit my pants a little bit. Not cool. And guess where I am now? WORK!
@geetargirl05@MRSclarke08@pnwlover12 I mailed your formula ladys! It should get there Saturday. Don't worry about shipping charges NBD! Merry Christmas!! Also I hope you love the shipping boxes....hahahaha!

Go commando! Hope you feel better that seriously sucks.
I survived the two month appointment alone! But oh man, did I cry when he got his shots. His little piercing cry broke my heart.
We have an hour to hang out at the house before head to the airport to pick up my H. I'm so happy he's going to be home with us!
I'm also really proud of myself for doing these last 5 weeks alone. I've doubted myself as a mom because the first few weeks were not even close to my romanticized view of motherhood. Mad props to all of us ladies. We are awesome.

Oh man, that's the worst. I'm sorry that happened to you!
This is the first time I've opened the randoms thread today. Clingy sick baby and grumpy bored toddler make for not the greatest day...I'll catch up now that they're both sleeping!
Speaking of sleep, I may have created a problem. Monday I told DS1 that when he went to sleep for his nap, daddy would come home and wake him up. He went right to sleep, and when he woke up, daddy was home (nap time works out that way), so he was super happy. Same thing yesterday. Well, today he's asked to nap since 9am because he wants daddy to come home. I finally told him he could nap at 2, and he ran to his room saying "YAYYY" and practically jumped under the covers. DH will be home soon, and he'll be overjoyed.
...but what if he wakes too early? What if one day DH has to work late? He's convinced that it's the sleeping that brings daddy home. How can I fix this yet keep the convenience of not having to fight him on naps??
This made me literally LOL because I know the feeling. Death by planking is real.
It really is. I was shocked at how badly out of shape I am! When H gets home I'm going to go out and walk a few miles.
I really should try and get in shape too. I may try the 30 day challenge again as I'm so unfit. I tried walking up a hill with my double buggy and thought my lungs were going to explode from huffing so much. I think 30 seconds is pretty good for a first go in a while.
I'm going to ease into the 30 day shred. I don't want to start out and get discouraged by how hard it is for me to do. I also want to try the couch to 5k program.
@Emerald27 I don't know, that one is kind of a hard problem. If YH would play along do you think you could make it like a game. Lets take a nap and see if it brings Daddy home, then some days have YH come home at normal time, others have him come home a short while after DS wakes up. So its a little random but still a bit of incentive to keep napping.
First time stopping into the bump today. We've been extra busy with holiday stuff today. Currently waiting on DH to get home so we can bake some sugar cookies.
To all you ladies who are sick or have sick LOs, I don't know how you do it. Props, and I hope you feel better soon!
Home from the daycare Christmas party. It was so crazy! But it was so nice. I guess I'll have to get used to the chaos of little kids. It overwhelms me-that's why I teach high school! I wasn't going to get the teachers gifts this year since we just started on Monday, but they gave out so many gifts and did such a nice job that I'd feel like a jerk for not doing anything! They had Santa come tell the kids stories and take pix. B slept through the whole thing!
I'm watching The Desolation of Smaug today in honor of the release of the last Hobbit movie. I'm sad that it'll be a while before I go see it. And by watching I mean it's on in the background because who can watch a movie when there's a baby present.
Same! I'm so bummed, we always do LOTR movies in theater. Not sure we will get to this one
I'm SO happy my sister is here because DH and I are taking advantage of her and having a date night to see the movie!
5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional. 5 BFPs. My rainbow arrived 10/15/14. TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.

Yeah, you shouldn't take my comment so seriously. Historically few newbs even make it to visit the randoms thread, so congrats to you!

I have to admit that I don't know what potion bottles are. I like the idea though, sounds nefarious. Muahahaaa.
@GDF, not making it to the randoms thread - what?? The randoms thread and the MOTN thread are my favorites! They make me feel like I'm privy to a conversation among real live adults.
And AW because I think babies in jeans are adorable (especially since they're pulled up to old man levels, just below her little armpits!) Also because - festive. Ho ho ho. Edited because we don't have a ransoms thread here. I hope.
Any ideas? This kid will NOT nap for more than 40 minutes. We've let him sleep on me and DH, we took a car ride, tried every possible sleeping surface and we are lucky if we even get him to fall asleep. Tried swaddled and not swaddled. He's tired, very tired but fighting it like his life depended on it.
