ugaqueencity Not a STM but my goddaughter loved those Melissa and Doug Fill and Spill toys when she was 1. She just really liked putting things in and taking them out. I got her the bugs one but they have a lot of different ones.

ugaqueencity the big Legos. Ds got some when he turned one and enjoyed them. He didn't really build anything for a few more months but it was something different to play with. He still plays with them at age 3

DH is at work and DD and I are sort of awake. I'm pumping and watching friends. I started it over this morning.
We have DD's newborn pictures this morning. I hope DS behaves. The photographer has 3 girls so he usually shows off for them. Oh and she's also the wife of my biggest client.
STMs, what's a good present for a little boys first bday? I'm pretty sure it's Erin years since I went to a first birthday party and I think the kid ended up with every ride along toy in the world ever
Not a STM, but we purchase experiences. Zoo tickets or time at the local indoor play place!

After a frustrating evening, DD slept pretty well last night. I'm really really tempted to try giving her a pacifier once it is clear I'm serving as a human one. I was trying to avoid until she's 1 month, but once she's eaten all she can she'll just try to latch and sit there. Which doesn't work because I'll let down and then she's pissed because it's pretty strong and she's not wanting to eat.
Had 2 hours of BHs 15-20 mins apart last night...then nothing. Wtf body. Due tomorrow...I'm guessing labor Friday night because a) we're getting a random 5-10" of snow tomorrow night and we already put the snow stuff away & removed snow tires, b) Saturday is April fools and that's the 1 day I didn't want to make my kids bday and c) H (who took the day off) is now supposed to work a few hours overnight, during the worst of the snow. So it would only make sense. But TGIT!

Happy due date jnow! Today was originally my EDD based on ovulation, but doc went by LMP pushing it to Saturday.
Haven't the deliveries been coming in 3's kaits8? Are we the last 3?
I do believe we are the last 3 (someone correct me if I'm wrong!)! Weekend babies for the rest of us? My mom has dd1 for the morning, H is at work, and my boss doesn't really expect me to do much work (from home) so I'm going to walk Target. Sending all the labor vibes to our uteruses today!
Not a stm, but when my niece turned one, we bought her a wagon. She's now almost 3 and her little brother is almost 1. They use it all the time.
H did bedtime last night. Apparently C didn't want to go down until late, and hence slept until 4 am. I went to bed at like 10:30...That sleep was amazing!
I'm amazed at you ladies who are going out and doing things. C is a little over 3 weeks, and right now I'm comfortable just being holed up in the house. The thought of going out and about with him in tow is still intimidating to me.
I'm also terrified for h to go back to work. His company announced in January that all employees get 4 weeks of leave after the birth of a child, so he's been home since the baby was born. He goes back this time next week. I'm terrified to do it alone - our routine right now relies on him for quite a bit.
kaits8mosdub after months of dd1 only wanting daddy (like saying "i want daddy" as soon as i open the door in the morning) she was very clingy this morning.

sterl724 hugs, lady! You'll figure out outings. I had a really hard time leaving the house with my first - it was overwhelming having to remember everything and what if she cried and etc etc.
You'll figure it out. Do low-pressure things that you can leave from easily at first, like walking the mall or Target. No other chores, just getting out of the house.
sterl724 I think I'll be the same and be scared to leave with DS once he's born. That's so cool your H's work gives them 4 weeks off, that's more than most for the US! MH ended up quitting his job (combo of wanting extended time with baby as well as just burned out at job), so he'll be home with me constantly. He's a good help so I'm really thankful, even if it means living more meekly for a while while floating on one income.

Hi! My sister and 2 nieces are visiting. My nieces are 12 and 8. It's nice to have a helping hand but they are all up in DS's grill like little vultures.
Today was my due date. Hard to believe i already have an outside baby who's 2 1/2 weeks old!

I went out today basically just to not be in the house. I'm at a coffeeshop just reading my phone while DD is in the wrap. I've had most of the 'oh crap' things that could happen pop up while I'm out, and I'd say I felt stressed and a little panic in the moment but also was like okay I'm definitely going to just deal with this because I want my lunch/groceries/whatever. However, even if I had bailed, it's fine. People abandon carts at the grocery all the time, tables suddenly ask for the check and food to go, etc. Even without a baby I've bailed in the drive-thru after ordering. Shit happens.
Tuesday at lunch DD had a blowout on her outfit and the car seat, bawled after being changed and wanted to nurse (and I'd forgotten a cover/blanket), and I leaked on the other side through a pad, tank top, and my shirt. I made it work.
@sterl724 no pressure to go out until you want to. Just make the first couple of trips easy so you can leave if needed. Buy buy baby is a good one if close. They have a room with changing tables and gliders for nursing/feeding. With my first, I would plan my outings around being there for feeding time if it was on my list to go to!
Ladies, I just scheduled my 20 month for surgery to get tubes on Tuesday. I'm having all the feels right now. I know she needs them, but the thought of her going under anesthesia and being wheeled away from us in the hospital is really upsetting me. I just need to not think about it, but PP hormones are getting the best of me. Ugh.
mls5871 I can't imagine My friends had to get tubes for their little boy and it was stressful but helped him dramatically! It even helped with his speech, which was an unexpected side effect. They guess he couldn't hear himself/others very well before.
