Just had to confiscate my boob because Sunny cannot eat and poop at the same time without mashing my nipple. Biggest poop I have ever heard. I'm terrified.
Scary! It makes me nervous when Belle poops and eats, too. Speaking of which, she had three giant poopsplosions between 6 and 10 a.m. Where does she store it all?
Also DS doesn't fit in his Bumbo anymore because his legs are too fat.
@windwithfingers That's crazy! DS is a tight fit too but I attributed that to his big fluffy butt with cloth diapering. And they aren't even supposed to be used until around 3 months, right?
They can be used as long as LO can hold their head up without support. DS used his for maybe 3 weeks before he outgrew it.

Is it wrong to eat lasagna at 10:30am? I need to eat my sad feelings about going back to work after hearing baby scream bloody murder for 15 min while DH tried to get her to take a bottle.
Enjoy your lasagna. Have a cupcake, too.

I'm downstairs and DH has been getting ready for almost 2 hours... WTF are you doing up there?!
He could have fallen asleep again, or could be doing "other things". And as much as I would love to wake his ass up I'm not ready to catch him in the act and be asked to join. So I wait...

I feel the same way. Last night I cried in anticipation of going back to work. And I just ate a bunch of spaghetti and Italian bread.
My MIL is buying presents for my BIL and SIL to give us. She does this every year. I told her not to bother, and next year, we aren't buying anything for them. It's not fair that we spend money and they don't. She kept saying, "but he's a guy." So is my husband!
I finally told her that I'm really pissed that they promised to be here to see the baby and they not only didn't show, but they haven't even so much as Facebook commented or sent a text since she was born. It felt good to say that, but she did defend them a little.
My SIL is an excommunicated Jehova's Witness. So she always gets a pass, yet she accepts presents, just won't buy them. That's not cool with me. Don't half participate. And she was kicked out of the church and married a Catholic. I don't understand. Plus, her being a Jehova's Witness shouldn't be stopping her from texting or Facebook commenting congratulations.
My BIL was awesome until he married her. She is the most self absorbed person, and it had nothing to do with being a JW. She just sucks. I've never wanted two people to get divorced more in my life.
Why do we have to pay for shit and they don't? Why don't they feel shitty about this? Particularly her, because women just know things?
@SPurp13 she sounds like such a bitch. How can she not believe in Christmas but participate just enough to receive (and not give) gifts? Anyone with any decency would feel guilty about it, but since it's recurring, it sure doesn't feel like she cares.
Where have they been since APurp was born? Do they live close? Either way, a text or Facebook comment is not too much to ask. I mean, random friends on fb who I haven't spoken to for years have liked and commented on photos. BIL and SIL need to get a hint.

Nope totally acceptable reason for morning lasagna. (Hugs) to you. My first day is tomorrow. I'm thinking I just won't wear makeup. I'm dreading it
I am seriously pissed. There is a high flu outbreak level in Columbus, which means I now get to wear a mask all day everyday at work until it's over since I haven't had the flu shot. Excellent.
That sucks! I hate the winter. I always wash my hands like my life depends on it and my knuckles crack. FX you stay flu free!
This morning we bundled up and went out hiking/birding (we love to go search for the bald eagle families that live by the river), and we came home and made ginger bread cookies for Santa and the neighbors, and we've just finished making a honey-orange sugar scrub as gifts for grandmothers/great grandmothers. They're wrapped under the tree, and I'm taking a short break before DS1's nap, during which DH and I will frantically work to finish his play kitchen.
@windwithfingers The cheeks! They're too much... I'm dying. Also, I think I may end up with the same problem with E. I haven't tried the bumbo, yet but, this girl's got a lotta leg.
@Kaylajade8911 oh I can't do rare steak. Medium rare is a close as I'll get. With horseradish. Now I want steak.
@2goingon3 don't touch the waffle maker! Those things are elfin hot!

They live ten hours away. But they made a point to promise to come. I understand if they can't. But they never bothered to even send a text saying sorry. People make excuses for her, like she's been sheltered and because of her religion. But that can't be true. I think she's either just a clueless idiot or she's a bitch on purpose. I kind of think she's an idiot. I don't know if that makes it worse or not. But yeah. She's in Facebook all the time. Like a dammed photo. Would it kill you? I want to write in her wall so all the family sees: "Wanted to let you know we had the baby. Haven't heard from you." But. That's too bitchy because I know she knows.
Dd let Dh play with her for 10min this morning so I could rest and then he was able to hold her for 15min this afternoon! Baby steps people but it's big for us. Usually she starts screaming as soon as I let go and she realizes he's holding her.
DS fought his nap so hard that I decided it was time to try swaddled nap for the first time since he was 4 weeks old. Seems to be working. I'm even going to set him down in his bassinet after this and see what happens.

We are attempting to go to the big mall to finish our Christmas shopping today. Me, DH, 4 yo ss, and dd. If I wasn't bf'ing, shots of rum would be happening right now at 11:30 am to survive this. Wish us luck! :-h
Delivered gingerbread cookies to the neighbors with DS1. One old couple said "oh, we should give him (DS) something!" And then the lady took an apple from the table and handed it to him. He LOVED it and said thank you enthusiastically. But they still seemed to feel like they owed him something and asked if he likes cookies, and said they should bake him some...I didn't really know what to say.
Never have I felt so guilty for giving someone a gift. Did NOT mean to make them feel awkward or like they need to do something for us! I really hope they're not in there planning to bake cookies just to say thank you for our cookies. :-<
DD was a unicorn today. She was so happy. She didn't make a peep the entire time we were at church and napped for most of the time. When I put her back in her car seat which she normally does not enjoy she just chatted with me, our ride to target where I then fed her she was telling stories and then she lasted through our entire lunch. Then she had an epic meltdown right before we were leaving the restaurant related to a diaper change. She slept for 20 minutes and is all happy again. Overall a success.
I've been MIA, DD had her shots on Friday and was a fussy mess and pulling every once in a while. Knock on wood she seems I be better, no vom since this AM.
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.
Some Pinterest thing driver me crazy... like "100 baby products we couldn't live without". Really? 100? Most people aren't going to buy 100 baby products to begin with!
@Kaylajade8911 I feel the same way about keeping up lately. It seems like I'm reading all the posts from the day all at once and then can't remember who I want to respond to.
Noah napped for 3 hours this afternoon. I even tried to wake him to no avail bc he hadn't eaten in longer! Now having a power nursing session. Hoping he will go to sleep tonight!

Married 10/06
Baby Girl "C" arrived on 10/07/14 (39 weeks, 6 days)
I have this first world problem as well. She is coming tomorrow and I try to get out of the house with DS but we run out of things to do.
Times like that I don't give a dick about my c section scar. I'll rock it if I can get my body back.
I'm this many!
I also want to PIP... damn mobile!
