To all of you who are working up the nerve to ask another mommy out on a date... I met a mom at target and chatted with her for a couple of minutes. She seemed nice and when I walked away I thought, "this is stupid." So I wrote down my number and gave it to her. She seemed really excited and said she needed mom friends. We texted back and forth a little that day and then I never heard from her again even though i've tried to reach out. Maybe I said something weird. It's likely that I did! My point ladies is that i'm still standing! This is literally the worst case scenario and it isn't really a big deal! So go for it. I will again if I see the opportunity!
@ChardeeMacDennis so funny. I lived in Lincoln from age 17 to age 24. Went to nursing school at Bryan. Go back to visit my grandparents there all the time.
Well ladies, just returned from hearing my test results from my abnormal pap. Not cancer! <:-P However, I'm 1 stage away from cervical cancer so we're doing a LEEP at the end of the month to remove all of the abnormal cells. Sounds painful, but it's better than the alternative!

Yay! Hope they give you some good pain meds during/after the procedure if it sounds bad. But very glad you're cancer free!
I mentioned before that this is exactly what I had, in 2008 (abnormal Pap then a LEEP). The worst part was the numbing injections. It's not fun but not something that should keep you up at night. Especially after childbirth. The procedure is very quick and recovery isn't bad.
I also had a LEEP but I was given general anesthesia. The recovery was not bad at all just some cramping later that day. I feel like I was basically fine by the following day.
So funny that we were just talking about how we need mom friends..I received a post card in the mail today about a meet-up group for women new to my town..and the first meeting is at a wine shop. Sounds right up my alley. Now I just need the balls to go :-SS

Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.
If there are business minded ladies on here, someone should totally create a momdate.com (the Match.com for mom friends). You could make millions, I bet, because advertisers would kill for that audience, no?

There is an app called SmileMom and it actually had quite a few moms in my area but I deleted it because it didn't seem like there was a way to get to know each other first.
@virginiaunicorn11 if well designed it could make so much money. I bet the ever-banning bump gods are reading and taking note. You could search for moms based on child age or interests or both.
Mine would read: nurse with a questionable social filter, 3 month old, enjoys dry wine, dry humor and trashy reality TV. Come hang out and do nothing fitness related or outdoorsy with me and my grumpy child. Love of Judge Judy a plus.

The emergency vet called yesterday, Silt's ashes are back
My regular vet called today, someone dropped off a stray kitten and the humane society can't take her. No pressure, but they just know we'd provide an excellent home for her, if we're ready. Omg. A 14 week kitten? I could die from the cuteness and I haven't even seen the thing. Can't decide if we would want a second cat again. Dunno if we're ready. Trying to resist the urge to go to the vet and see it so I can decide on a second pet clearheaded
@dancegurl1118 I think I'll be in your hood I tomorrow (New Haven county I presume?) I'm working up the courage to take my first drive to my family's with LO!
And um, maybe have my estranged father meet LO. I feel terrible that hasn't happened yet.
so.. that snugli baby carrier i bought? its a dangler, holds them at the crotch with no support for their butt or things. now i need to find a scarf or something so i dont give my kid hip dysplasia X_X untill i get a better carrier that is. but hey, at least i have an idea of what to bring up for my birthday/christmas.
Hi just wondering has anybody else's almost 3 month old slept for most of the day and night? My LO usually sleeps from 1-6 am and then 7-9 am with some naps through the day (usually short ones and maybe one long) but today he's taken a whole bunch of long naps and now he's sleeping through the night as well! Is this okay? He was a little fussy yesterday drooling and crying and sucking on his thumb which he's been doing a lot recently. But today he barely cried at all and when he would wake he would nurse for a little or suck on his thumb and instantly fall back asleep. Is this sleepiness okay? Or should I be worried?

I had a leep done. They use a numbing agent so you won't be able to feel a whole lot. Good luck!

I'm asking for a Tula for Christmas! Dying for one!

Mine did this one day (on two occasions) and I was also worried, but I told my mother. She said she once called HER mother about this, crying that her baby was sick... And her mother laughed and said that's what babies do, he was probably growing, and everything's fine.
I think my LO was even a little sleepy the next day, but not AS sleepy. Probably just growing!

im asking for a tula as well! i love the new sea glass design they put out recently.
@janit368@virginiaunicorn11 thanks gals. I asked my mama about it too because I was worried but today he has been a little less sleepy and when he is awake he eats and has been able to do tummy time and babble so I'm guessing if something was wrong then there would be some other symptoms. He does have a weird rash thing on his forehead but the doctor didn't seem to think anything of it. I think he might be teething. He starts to drool and then cries out in pain and starts to suck on his thumb like crazy. So maybe it's wearing him out?
Anyone into that HUGE looking Events leap (Wonder Week) yet? Is it bad? It looks awfully long. And I already feel like LO is having quite a fuss going - 3 month growth spurt perhaps. She'll be 3 months on Tues.

My understanding is the whole "crotch dangler" thing is kind of a myth... Mostly started by more expensive carrier companies as a marketing ploy.
This article links to another one that looks at the issue even deeper. Basically incorrect swaddling is kind of the only really bad thing we could be doing that would cause hip dysplasia.
ETA: we have and love both the Bjorn and a Moby. The Moby is too friggin hot to use in this heat. Both LO and I are comfortable with the Bjorn
Re: Randoms!
Went to nursing school at Bryan.
Go back to visit my grandparents there all the time.
Good luck! May this be the end of it for you. xo

This is an awesome blog post I saw on Facebook. I think she really hits the nail on the head!
