FFFC....??

[americanninjamommy]

Do you need to confess the sins of your soul?

[lrobi13]

**crickets**

Too soon?

[kfitz]

I'm here. I'll just hold my place in the queue and wait with some popcorn on standby, hoping for something good to come along. Although I already ate a container of caramel corn this morning. Maybe that's my FFFC.

Up until yesterday I was still letting my kid nap in the RnP. I've never strapped her in and it's never been a problem. She's usually very vocal about waking up so I always get her right away when she's in there. Yesterday she woke up more quietly then usual though and when I went to get her she was on her tummy peaking over the edge. She was totally fine and happy but she could have easily fallen out.

Lame, I know, but that's all I've got.

[kfitz]

I think naps still in the RnP are lame, but my kid is also the size of a butterball turkey and therefore would look like a big man in a tiny hammock if he were put in it.

Mostly I'm jealous. DS started sitting up in the RNP like 2 months ago.

[geetargirl05]

Yeah DS outgrew his RnP at 4 months -- but he's a freakishly tall monster of a baby

Yeah, well that's what makes it flammable. DD can sit up in there too, which is why I should have packed it up awhile ago. She still sleeps really well in there but I think I've pushed it as far as I can.

I declined tickets to the Garth Brooks concert because it was my MIL who invited me to go "just us girls!!!!"

No. No thanks.

Yikes, yeah dude. That's super risky.

I know, I really pushed my luck

Side note question, is anyone still using a bouncer? Ours is still out and DD still fits in it but even strapped in it no longer seems safe to me.

I've got one of those, too.  We never had an RnP, but DS outgrew the newborn napper on his PNP at about 3 mo.

I still use the bouncer. DS will sit there while I pump and I'll hand him various toys. I have to buckle him in. He's so heavy, though, that the bouncing aspect of the chair is lost.

If they are heavy and pull forward hard enough, can it be topple forward?  I sucked at physics, so I don't know if this is possible.

Same. DS basically scrapes the ground.

[darwinfish]

I don't think S was ever in his bouncer.... We basically gave it to Calvin.

This is what I was worried about so we stopped using it months ago.

RNP has been in the attic since February. I am too much of a nervous nelly for him to "outgrow" it.


FFFC! I would have loved somebody to have given me some Garth Brook tickets. I signed up to win some but I refuse to spend my monies on them.

I said somebody not anybody! Let's fight over semantics again!

Work related confession: I kinda want to stay in my job to watch the ship sink.

Work related confession #2: I hardly do any work. What I physically have to do is super easy so all I really deal with is a lot of people management. I generally goof off 50% of the time. Working from home is an excuse to goof off for 75% of the day.

Our baby still uses the swing but I belt him in. Is that a confession or are others still doing it too? I'm so lame with UO and FFFC

We still use the swing. I'm going to cry when I have to pick it up because he's too heavy for it. As it is, his feet hang over the edge. But it's the only way I get him to nap at home. Sometimes, the only way I get him to sleep at night. 

FFFC: DS sleeps in the swing sometimes.

Maybe some bouncers have this issue but the one I have is positioned such that he is basically laying down in it. He isn't physically able to move it forward.

This was my concern, and I don't think they even have to be too heavy. When DD was around 16 pounds she started leaning forward to pick up toys that she'd dropped on the floor. Ever since I haven't really felt comfortable using it unless I'm right there with her. She tries to climb into it sometimes though so I know she still likes it, that's the only reason it's still out.

It's been about a month since we've used the swing. We just agreed to pack it up last night. I've never put DD in the swing without strapping her in, it was the one thing that never seemed safe to me.

[lrobi13]

The swing is long gone. But we still use the bouncer and the crusier. He naps in wither one of those from 8-10pm each night.

[alfibet]

Hmm... This is dumb, but I like that dd is short. Everybody comments on her chunky-ness, but she's only 17lb 10oz at 8 mo. She's so rolly because she's only 25 in. And people always say "oh don't worry, her dad is tall, she'll be tall eventually." But I'm not worried, I'd be fine with her being short like me. Plus she still fits her 6 mo clothes comfortably, saving me money.

We still use the swing. It's packed up for the move though and we probably won't put it back together. It was starting to groan a little bit.
