My mom told me today that she thinks my son that just turned 3 months old today is spoiled bc I pick him up every time he cries. Omg. Rage.
I hear this a lot too. My husband will directly say it, and my MIL and BFF (whose babies always lay happily in any containment device since day 1) will make little indirect comments here and there. I ignore it when they say something or explain what happens when I don't pick him up. But when DH says something, I lose it!!! Rage! He should appreciate the fact that I'm holding HIS kid so much!!!
birdie did your moles grow/appear during pregnancy? I had 2 grow and one new one. I've been thinking about having the 2 that grew removed bc they annoy me now.

I remember a few of us debating whether or not to get new clothes...well I bought new ones. The issue is not my pants fitting my waist, it's dealing with them over my hips and thighs. I figure there isn't much I can do with widened hips, so might as well get stuff I can wear.
This is the first time I have bought this many shirts since high school. I kid you not.

I've been buying LLR leggings. At least they will still fit if I lose weight. Hah!

I used a bit of extra money we had from MH doing so much overtime lately (not by choice). I never buy myself clothes, so MH was more than happy to let me do it for once.

I need to do this. My husband keeps telling me to go do it, but for some reason I feel guilty spending money now that I'm a SAHM.
M16 tell me I'm crazy and pick out some nursing friendly clothes!
Go pick out some clothes. It's Independence Day weekend, and places are having great sales. I'm a SAHM too, but we still need clothes that make us feel better about ourselves because we look good in them. IMO anyway.
I'm closing on my rent house next Tuesday. (yes!! I'll finally be done with that PITA!!) There's a BuyBuyBaby in that town so I may have to pop in there.
Btw send me all the good baby vibes for my closing, I'm taking B alone. It's an 1hr45min drive away. Should be an interesting day.

DH and I had a huge blow out fight last night that included throwing things. We never fight. We both apologized and everything was fine again in like an hour, but I still feel like shit. His grandpa died early this morning too. It was expected, but still.

Ok so no one my age when they see us asks whether I'm nursing or not. I mean like good friends know or sometimes ask about it if they don't have kids, or other mom friends and I talk about it. But not random ppl or acquaintances I run into. Yet every single one of my parents friends, acquaintances and my friend's parents I have run into asks or asks my parents. Also a stranger at the mall, who literally was like "beautiful baby. Enjoy it. Are you nursing?" (She also touched LO without permission and is therefore my least favorite person at the mall). Is that like a generational thing? Does this happen to anyone else?

Not me. But for reference I live in the boonies and rarely am out in public besides the grocery store. Mostly I get comments or stares bc B is wearing sunglasses.

Yup it happens to me all the time and it really seems to be a generational thing like you described.

It had mostly been women so I was thinking it was that but we were at my dad's house on Weds and like 4 of the guys in his card game asked him or me. They all have grandkids it wasn't in like a creepy way but I was just like that's so odd.

I haven't really noticed too many people asking me so far about nursing. But I do HATE the question "is she a good baby?"
As for touching LO. No one ever touched DD1. Now all of a sudden old ladies think it's ok to touch E, including her face. Or worse, the old lady who was talking to her and was all "ohh look at you, is he heavy? (girl thank you). ohh what's this you have here? (as she PULLS at E's paci in her mouth)". Please don't touch my baby. I really don't know how to handle those situations, I don't want to be rude, but please keep your hands off her face. Touch her feet if you NEED to touch a baby. DH doesn't even like when people stop to look at her lol. I had some 10 year old girls ask me Monday if they could touch her, I said no but you cant look at her. At least they asked though!

In my culture it's rude if you don't touch baby. They call it "ojo" meaning sending bad luck or mean spirits. Mostly touching baby on feet, hands or head. So I don't mind it. But, I can see how a stranger touching your baby is odd and weird.

So sorry to hear that. DH and I had a huge fight a couple weeks back. He kicked the stainless steel garbage can. Having a newborn is super stressful. It will get better.
PS - FFCF, He fractured his toe... I didn't feel as bad as I would have normally.

Is anyone else's hair starting to fall out? Google says it's normal around this time. My scalp feels like it's on FIRE lately and my hair is falling out like crazy.
