We just got invited to my first explicit "adults only" wedding for a coworker. It legit says "formal adults only reception" on our response card. He was just telling me about his fiancé having twin toddler nieces, so I'm pretty sure they will be there (bc what kind of asshole doesn't invite her nieces to her wedding?) which makes it not an adults only reception. But what do I know. Point taken, don't bring my kids. Let's hope this means open bar...
I have a friend who had an adult only reception and didn't invite their nieces and nephews. I love kids at a wedding so I wouldn't do it, but a lot of people do.
Isn't it so interesting how the older you get, the less age makes a difference? I have a co-worker who I consider my closest "work friend." It's weird to think that when I was in college, she was in middle school. But now we are both adults, and she has a daughter 6 months older than DS, so maybe the mom thing brings us together?
She was telling me the other day that she doesn't really know how to cook much of anything. So we are getting together next weekend to make a bunch of freezer crockpot meals.
DH & I are 28 and we have friends who have a daughter the same age as DD1 and they are 42. They are actually closer to my parents' age than our age.
H is going out tonight for the third time this week. It's really frustrating. I don't like to be or feel controlling but we have 2 kids. It's a bit ridiculous. And he goes out every single Tuesday, and has for years so it's not like he never gets to. I so badly want to just tell him off....
I feel ya. I've been there. DH and I have really worked on communication so he doesn't as often. But I know how frustrating that is!
I hadn't posted anything on Facebook for probably a few years, although I'm a creeper and like and comment on my friends' stuff all the time. I just now posted a pic of LO because I couldn't help myself, he's so darn cute. I'm sure a lot of people were like, WTF that came out of nowhere. Did I miss the wedding? Lol.
I find it oddly satisfying to comb the cradle cap off of my baby's scalp. Is that weird?
Not to me. I got rid of his cradle cap in a few days, it was super satisfying.
Good. I'm glad I'm not alone! My SIL's baby had it all over his head and eyebrows for weeks and didn't want to do anything about it and it drove me nuts! I was like give me 10 minutes, some coconut oil, and a tiny comb!

For weeks I didn't realize that the discoloration along DS's hairline was cradle cap. One day I decided to pick a bit, and I was like groooooossssssssss! Then I realized it was all over his head. That evening I took a toothbrush to it, gave him a bath, and it didn't really come back.
I really need to get the house clean, but I have no energy at all. DH took DD to the museum, so it is just me and DS. I am letting him sleep nurse on me while I watch the olympics. I am sad today is the last day. I have not gotter to watch much, but it is always fun to watch some of the sports that are never on TV otherwise.

I'm really bummed the Olympics are over. They've been on constantly and I love watching every event!
This is blowing my mind. A girl I went to HS with has an 8 month old and is 26 weeks pregnant. Like....how does one even have sex that soon after giving birth??
DH and I attempted when I was 7.5 weeks PP. it was very painful and awful and we quit after a few minutes. Didn't try again til DS was 3.5 months. It still hurts a bit but I make it through.
That sucks she ovulated that early.
ETA- unless she wanted to, I guess. But really you're supposed to wait 18 months between pregnancies, for you and the next baby.

A girl I went to school with has girls 9.5 months apart. Yikes. My brother and I are 14 months apart and that seems crazy to me now that I have my own LOs.
buttercup, cutie!! We have the same boppy cover, LO was practicing sitting in it yesterday!
@ismellbooks, DH is a bit more of a homebody anyways so I end up going out without him a lot more lately. Both the girls are in bed pretty early so he can play video games/watch TV and I go out for ladies' night.
@unicornofthesea, I've been too exhausted lately but we were back at it pretty quickly but I would have died a little on the inside if I'd gotten pregnant. I cannot imagine having babies so close together. DD1 was 2.5 before I got pregnant and even that wasn't actually 100% planned, we were going to wait until she was 3.
I spent the day at my parents house cleaning my room/bathroom. My brother is hosting a fantasy football draft there next weekend and his friends are staying the weekend. We visit my parents every weekend but my room hasn't gotten a deep cleaning in years. He's also kicking my parents out for the weekend (of their own house?!) but didn't tell them until the last minute. He still hasn't told me his friends are staying in my room, but he told my parents. It's simultaneously funny and annoying.
DH and I had sex for the second time pp last night. It's definitely getting better!!
I don't know what's going on with my body though. I have felt like my period was imminent for over two weeks now and even had a tiny bit of spotting but still nothing. My ovaries hurt, I'm so crampy! Maybe I should be concerned? Idk

So I just bought some coconut oil bc I'm pretty sure L has some cradle cap... Do I just rub it on there and leave it?
Before a bath, I rub coconut oil on the spots where I can see the the cradle cap and let it sit for a minute or two. I just brush the flakes out with a fine tooth comb and wash her hair in the bath. It's a quick process.
This is likely before everyone's time on TD, but there was a poster who had a fake daughter who died. She also faked a mom with cancer. She just got outed on another board. You have to be so sick in the head to do that.
What in the actual fuck? Who was the person? Was she outed on PB or TD? Details!
scotty138 and surprisepartysue, remember the girl who stole the glider $ from M14? Erbear? I am not very active on there and don't know what actually happened. What was the story there?

Tits for the sex getting better. I also have been getting O pains on and off for a week now. I'm not sure my body knows what it wants to do. It's totally par for the course right now at 4-5 months pp.

From what I remember Erbear once complained that her MIL was buying her a furniture set from pottery barn but wouldn't get her the glider she wanted. Someone called her out for sounding ungrateful, but they got flamed by some regs so everyone else dropped it.
Fast forward, she collected $ from the m14 board for a loss mom and it later came out that she had stolen the money and never donated it. She even tried to photoshop a receipt but it was obvious and the organization confirmed no donations of that amount had been made. Someone suggested she used the $ to buy her glider and the name glidergate stuck.
Then parenting caught wind of it and flamed m14 for not calling her out earlier about the glider and other crazy comments she made. The dark days of m14.

Have you gotten your period since that one in June? I thought I had gotten my period in June, but it was light and zero cramping. I haven't bled since.

That's the weird thing - that time in June ended up not being my period either! I spotted a couple times but it never stated. So I haven't gotten my first period yet, even though I stopped breastfeeding over a month ago. And I was never EBF in the first place. I have PCOS so it's probably just my dumb hormones. I had hoped I would be more regular after having ds.
Well, I did it today finally and didn't use anything, so whoops. Now, I am going to be paranoid and have to pee on a stick in two weeks...
A lady at daycare is expecting soon (this month?) and their youngest just turned one. Their oldest just moved to the two year old room. Lots of little ones!
This happened to me the first time we did it pp. It was done and I thought, "oh shit. I have to use protection now!" Luckily it didn't result in a pregnancy!
