I just cut APurp's nails. It did not go well. It's like Carrie. I would have done a better job with a chainsaw. THREE of her fingers are bleeding. It's all over her clothes. I'm calling CPS on myself.

Baby talons are the worst to trim. I did dd's last night. Hopefully her face and scalp will heal before they need to be cut again.

I'm terrified of the clippers! I have just been chewing them off, but now they are getting thicker and I'm going to have to reach for the clippers. I'm not looking forward to it.
Good morning! Healthy vibes to the sickies. I'm super jealous of you notches with coffee makers. No coffee for me (:|
Yes to swim lessons for sure. My sister put my niece (she was 3 at the time) through the survival one where they get dunked and it teaches them what to do if they fall in a canal or something... I dunno how I feel about that one. The idea is there but, I went to one of her lessons once and it was so sad to watch her get dunked over and over and she wasn't super excited to be there.
I have such a lady boner for Rob Dyrdek. He's not the most attractive guy, but I've always had a thing for skaters, and he makes me laugh SO hard.
Jason Ellis is my skater boy obsession.
I love these two. DH listens to Jason Ellis' talk show on XM. He is so funny!
E's diaper leaked in my bed last night. At first it was just a little bit MOTN and so I just put a blanket under her since she was hard asleep. Woke up this morning with the blanket soaked. How does something so little make so much pee?!
Survival swim lessons! That description sounds mean!!! I was pushed in the pool when I didn't want to jump in at swim lessons. After, I dreaded going and to this day I can barely swim and I am afraid of water rides, the ocean and really deep pools.
Paging @TicketTuesday or @Emerald27 I can't remember which one of you posted this or in what thread, but I need that Zombie comic that shows why vaccines are a good idea. Or wait... was it Jalara. Shit. Does anyone remember this? I needs it.
Our YMCA starts swim lessons at 6m. I'm excited to start taking her! Luckily they have a Saturday morning session so I can take her most weeks (DH will take her when I work). We have a house on the river and so she will be near water a lot of her life. I think it is extremely important to make sure kids grow up confident around the water. My mom is a very nervous swimmer and panics around the water, and it's awful for her. I don't care if LO knows any swim strokes as long as she can be comfortable in the water.

We had a bloodbath earlier this week too. Ended up having to use gauze and tape. It's almost back to normal now though. That's the amazing thing about babies - they grow and regenerate so quickly!
She looked me right in the eyes and screamed for 15 minutes while my husband protected--I mean held--her.
I started this because I have a question and didn't know where to put it. What do you guys think about infant swim classes? Any experience?
I did them with both kids, they're fun if you want to meet other parents, but if it's just to get the kid used to water, save the cost of the class and just take your kid to the pool. You just sing songs, splash a little, and dunk your kid if you're comfortable.
ETA: my kids will be in swimming lessons until lifeguard for sure, I just think the actual classes are better starting at age 3.

Yes! I think every kid needs to learn how to swim. DHs 20-something year old cousin did not learn and ended up drowning in a lake because he didn't know how to swim. It was so tragic and painful especially because it was completely preventable.
Saturday morning naps. Right after I took the picture, C woke up a bit. I asked her if she was wake, she shook here head, closed her eyes, and snoozed for a few more minutes. :x
Tomorrow is 2nd Christmas with my parents since they were visiting my sister in December. They'll be coming over to our house and so far DH has agreed to be there. I'm both excited that this could be a step in the right direction and absolutely sick to my stomach because I have no control and I'm fairly certain tomorrow will be the ultimate shit show. My predictions include my dad saying DH is ridiculous, my mom demanding DH apologize (which he kinda sucks at), and DH bringing down the curtain with an epic show of yelling followed by slamming the door and squealing the tires as he takes off.

That does not sound like fun AT. ALL. If Christmas wasn't bad enough, you have to have that to look forward to. Nope, nope, nope.

How do those wizards at daycare get my child to nap for 2 hours? Seriously. This kid has only napped on me for two 30 minute chunks today. She naps unswaddled in a crib there.

When i picked up Sunny yesterday, the nanny had all three toddlers and all three infants napping at the same time in their own PNPs and bouncers. She is either a witch or a superhero.
I have tried putting her down several times today and she immediately angry cries.

It has to be something about the environment. When I worked at a daycare I could get any baby to go to sleep and stay asleep for hrs. They called me the baby whisperer. My own child, however, will not sleep for me no matter what I do.
So was I not supposed to share a photo of my baby shitting up her back on facebook? I thought it was funny and thought if anyone agreed it'd be you ladies then it occurred to me you might not.. oops?
I turn the tv on so my ds1 can watch tv while I feed baby and what does he turn it to. Some pbs show that is about learning letters. I can hear him trying to say the words with the show. So cute.

Lol I think it's fine. We've all seen baby shit by now!

Well I did it then went hmm...I wonder if it's as funny as I think it is. Oh well i think I'm hilarious that's all that really matters. Lol

I think it's okay in mom groups. But I find it a little weird when it is to your personal wall so everyone can see.
Yeah definitely only shared with you ladys. I think it's a little much in that instance too. And of course i had to send it to DH...

Ugh. I am sooo sorry. Maybe you can help prep both your parents and DH by telling them how important tomorrow is for you and how happy you are to all be together despite what happened. Then on the actual day of, try to keep the conversation on the light side and focus on how sweet and cute your LO is. That's what I did after my DH fought with my parents and it seemed to help. They still harbor sore feelings but they are at least civil.

Oh of course. He has to see what you are dealing with.
I told him he has laundry to do when he gets home and the beds going to need to be made again. I think I'm up for wife of the year.
Oh man. I have not worn high heels in almost a year...because pregnancy. Prior to that I would wear them daily. I wore heels yesterday and I feel like my feet are broken. Damn it! Anyone else experience this?
Had to have a come to Jesus talk with my dad when he said he was planning on taking my baby on a snowmobile ride behind my back. He was joking but still!

I just got a response to my nanny ad that pissed me the fuck off. This 19-year-old college student said nothing about how qualified she is to be a nanny or even about my kid at all. Instead she responded only with information about compensation. She wants 25-27.50 an hour, sick time, and to be paid weekly regardless of whether or not she watches our child. She only wants to watch our child in the evenings after her school. Um, the fuck. I usually don't respond to people I am not interested in interviewing, but I decided to with her.
"I am responding to you because I am honestly shocked by your response to my ad. I am looking for someone to nurture my child and who is there for the sole purpose of caring for her, not so that they can have a "steady income" and "pay their bills". I would suggest a part-time job not in care-giving or possibly taking out student loans so that you can focus on school. This is an absolute no from me and I am betting many others."
She responded that it was not her intention to offend me and that sponsoring a student might not be for me. Ya think? She is so dumb.

Good thing she didn't lie about how qualified she was to get the job and then start nannying for you...
For real. I almost wanted to respond to her and let her know that she is not marketing herself very well if that impression was not the one she wanted to give, but thought better of it. People need to know what her motivations are. DH and I are of the opinion that we already have one child to support, we don't need another.
