I kind of sort of feel guilty about bed sharing because it's not what you're supposed to do, whatever whatever. But I love it. E loves it. And in the middle of the night when I know my baby needs me to hold her to go back to sleep, ain't nothing gonna stop me.

R is hardly ever dressed in something besides pajamas. They're easy and I don't have to deal with baby socks.


<--- Not a fashionable momma.

Yes. To all of this.

I've decided I'm not worrying about actual clothes until E is in 9-month stuff. Though, at the rate she's going, I may wait until 12 months.

I'm constantly on the lookout for zip-up footed onesies. If I absolutely have to do snaps I'll survive, but DNW to deal with socks. Or pants.

Add me to the kid hardly ever gets a bath club. I think we're averaging one every 8 days right now...

FFFC: DH and I have been sleeping on the couch at night with DS in the RNP. Mostly because everything for feeding MOTN is downstairs and all our bedrooms are upstairs. Also, it's a PITA to try and move DS once he's asleep. I'd feel worse about it if I weren't as well-rested (I mean as much as you can be with a newborn).

FFFC: I'm really struggling to feel anything at all for my new niece, who was born 17 days before DS. I know my mind and heart are preoccupied but I'm just sooo indifferent towards her.

I am also indifferent to my BIL's children. Maybe it is because I have never met them. MIL wants to show us pictures and videos of them and I just don't care. FFFC: I'm pretty sure I would not feel this way if my brothers had kids. Overall I am just indifferent to all of my in laws. I don't love them and I guess I like them. I really don't think about them.

Same boat over here. My brother-in-law has never really showed much interest in my kids, so it is hard to care much about his--and I don't really care much for the way my sister in law treats the family. I know as my nephew gets older I will have to do a better job of faking it because it isn't his fault. I don't think he is that cute, I don't think the things he does are that cute. He is actually a little off, but I can't quite pin point it, I interested to see him at Christmas to see if he still shows certain behaviors. And if there is something wrong with him his parents are totally the denial type.

My brother has a daughter, and I do think I care for her a little bit more, but there are some pictures or video they send that I don't think are particularly adorable.

We slept on the couch for like 3 weeks. I was really embarrassed about it, but like you, didn't care because we were pretty well rested. I'm glad we are off the couch now, but it was great for a while.

ETA: after a while it started killing my back so enough was enough. Honestly had my back been fine, we probably would stayed there longer.

I'm still sleeping on the floor in the nursery. But it has a super plush rug and I'm not uncomfortable. And DH snores and tries to grope me all night, so it's harder to sleep in bed at the moment.

Agree with PPs - it makes NO SENSE that *anything* for a baby has snaps in lieu of a zipper. I feel like I'm diffusing a bomb every time I try to snap all those effing snaps before DS flips out.

I pulled out the dress I wore as a newborn. It has buttons. On the back.

UO love the snaps. I love undoing just the snap to change or check a diaper. I do have two sleepers that unzip from the foot, those rock.

We've bed-shared a lot. LO & I have also fallen asleep on the couch, tummy-to-tummy, during her worst colic phase. During that time, I would sleep anywhere and anyway she wanted, as long as she slept.  On one hand I loved it (no full wake ups for nursing, she just latches herself on as she wants), but it's hard on my body (gotta sleep in basically one position all night).

FFFC: She's been sleeping in her swing for the last few weeks (aside from two naps in her crib yesterday). She sleeps straight through for 5.5-7hrs a night in it, so do not curr if it's a sleep crutch at this point.

I like the snap sleepers than the zip.. I would rather him get upset for 2 seconds than deal with the zipper that seems forever to get his little feet in... FFFC late- flame away- I HATE changing in the middle of the night(especially when he is in one of the dreaded zippered sleepers), so it rarely gets done UNLESS he has poop..
