To me there is a big difference between a smack on the butt for repetitive or dangerous misbehaving, and a smack on the MOUTH for basically just being a toddler. I feel like there is never an appropriate instance where hitting anywhere on the face is ok.
I'm sick for the first time this pregnancy, blah. I have a fever, sore throat, and headache. Having a fever when it is 90 degrees and super humid is really unfortunate. Even though I am laying on the couch in front of the AC unit, I'm sweating like crazy. OMG the swamp crotch. All of it. Gross!
willow sorry you're sick it is the worst this far along. With ds I got a stomach virus and was basically a disgusting mess of throw up and other liquids. The fever is the worst though. It's hard enough to get comfortable.

willow I am sorry you're sick! I hope you feel better soon!
I am starting to go crazy wanting to get everything organized and ready for S to be here but I can't lift much of anything and H doesn't have Saturday's off. So, I am just sitting here wishing I could just do everything myself but I have to wait until H has the time to do it. I am hoping we can get some of it done tomorrow.

I am at least glad my stomach is behaving! I would be really sad if I couldn't eat on top of the rest of it. But yeah, I feel like I'm moving around constantly because I can't get comfortable at all! So gross.
I like the big kid bed! I love the frame, I like that dark wood color.
I'm genuinely freaking out about this bed. DH thinks he's ready, but I just don't. He rolls all around his crib all night. He will have rails on both sides, but I'm so afraid he will fall out. It seems so high.
He's just about 2.5 yrs. DH wanted him transitioned before baby gets here.

melody330, every kid is different but we have a roller and active sleeper and she went to a twin at 2.5 (maybe younger) with no rail and she has never fallen out. Not once. It's been over a year. Just see what happens. Those rails will keep him in. They really will.
But hair pats for big steps for our babies! I cried when she transitioned to the big bed.

That's good to know! He sleeps in a bed at my parents house and does just fine when he stays there.
Did you secure the other big furniture to the walls when your DD got a bed? DH thinks I'm being dramatic but I feel like it needs to happen

melody330 we moved DS to a twin bed at around 2 and I was also really worried that he would fall out but he never did. It's a big step moving to a big kid bed but it will be fine! We never secured any of the furniture in his room to the wall but L had never been a climber do we weren't worried.

melody330 we never secured the furniture. My daughter stays in bed and cries for us if she wakes up. She's never tried to climb stuff. Just her personality.
Now the boy I watch is so active and nuts that his room looks like a cell: toddler bed, dresser turned to face the wall, and closet with a locked door. No toys or anything else in there but it's because he's so wild he's hurt himself.
Thanks for the input. He's not a climber or totally crazy, but I'll sleep better knowing the two dressers are secure. Tonight he's with my parents so DH and I can go out for our anniversary. Tomorrow night will be the true test!
I'm kind of super pissed at my mom right now. She asked what she could do to help and I said well dad and my brother are setting up the tents, tables, chairs etc, and girls are coming over tomorrow am to help decorate, but I could really use some help cleaning/tidying the main floor, dishes, someone to bring the laundry down for me because I've been having wicked contractions all day and I'm exhausted.
9:37 pm I get a text: I'm just making a salad for tomorrow now, won't see you tonight, will be over in the am if there's nothing. You need help with.
!!!!!!
Frig! So now I have to do all the dishes, sweep, vacuum, and clean the bathrooms before bed.
Maybe I'm being bratty but if she didn't want to help she shouldn't have offered.
I'm up - slept like garbage. DS is having a blast at my parents house. They are taking him to a local rescue zoo today and we will pick him up after his nap. He's going to have one hell of a grandparents hangout tonight! But his room is all done, so I hope tonight goes well
H and I are actually getting a few things done around the house this weekend! We rearranged L's room and put a desk in there. We have moved some furniture around and will hopefully be somewhat more organized after this weekend.
And success!! Shower is over and and went great except that it was cold. I forgot to take pictures of everything all set up but I was super proud of how it turned out and my friend seemed really happy
And! Someone told me my coleslaw was the best they'd ever had (I have never made coleslaw before cuz I think it's gross but it was a BBQ/picnic themed shower lol)
I did a block decorating centre and some of the blocks turned out super duper cute! Lol
