Thing I am tired of hearing from people: Well, at least he sleeps through the night!

Yes, he does sleep through the night (please don't hate me or throw things at me), but guess what? That doesn't stop him from becoming a nightmare during the day when he's screaming because he's overtired and doesn't know what the fuck he wants, so shut up.

Gah. Vent over.

Preach it. I've had it both ways and they are equally hard but in different ways.

Oh absolutely. Each side of the coin comes with its own form of hot mess.

My mom finally "got it" when she witnessed a bedtime meltdown that lasted 90 minutes and resulted in him puking from crying so hard/long.

I just saw a Reddi whip commercial and now all I can think about is squirting Reddi whip into my face. But I have none. All the sads.

My house is a wreck, like disgusting, I'm too tired to clean it but too annoyed with myself so I have to start somewhere. Why not scrub the kids bathroom at 10:30 while everyone else sleeps.

I think it's totally fucked up for a plus size clothing magazine to target PP moms. Like my ego really needed that. WTH

I've been getting lots of those. Recently embraced that I am definitely now plus size though. This weight isn't going anywhere even going to the gym like I am.

All this talk of pacis and fingers have me a bit scared. W hates the paci with a paddion of a thousand suns. He just looks at me like I'm an idiot if I even try to give it to him. He chews on his fingers, but doesnt suck them for comfort. Nope, according to him, it's boob or bust. And, man, those bust times are epic, lemme tell ya.

I say this out of love, because I'm a hypocrite who frequently needs to hear the same thing: "Put down the sponge and back away slowly."

Haha, i did a lazy version of cleaning. I used lysol wipes on pretty much every surface I could. Made me sleep easier knowing my bathroom won't smell like pee in the morning. The boys aim is bad.

peachesncream has inspired me to try cleaning with a bottle of wine (at hand). Cleaning can be classy, too.

He was doing yard work. He always finds "just one more thing" and it ends up taking hours or like yesterday the whole damn day. He's appreciative of everything I do, but at the same time he doesn't seem to understand that I need some alone time. At the same time I feel guilty asking him to do anything because he has been working 50-60 hour weeks. 

Feeling guilty is a hard part for a lot of us, I think. Knowing that he won't really get it until he's done it can be hard to justify when you know he's appreciative. But they really aren't the same thing. Tell him now, or just hand off the baby when you have to, before it's too late and everybody's hurting. we have to take care of ourselves, too, and what you're asking for is not anywhere near unreasonable.

SheilaTheTank, good luck with the application process! jewel441, happy moving day!

Didn't someone mention it is their birthday? sctiger? Did I make that up?

How long does the PP hair loss/hair fucking everywhere thing last? I'm losing my mind trying to clean up after it. And the tickle on my arms/boobs from random hairs on my shirt/down my bra? Over it.

I was just asking this because I apparently blocked this part out. My coworkers swears it's a year but I'm sure I'd remember if it was THAT long.

Meanwhile I can make little hair dolls like in the movie Rushmore on a daily basis.

I want to know too. This is awful. DH is starting to give me crap about it. ITS NOT MY FAULT! And we're having some bug (ants and mosquitos) issues at my house right now so I freak out thinking its a bug when it's just hair. Gross.

Ugh yea this shit is annoying!

Not the exact same scenario, but I had bad hair loss after my 2nd mc too. It subsided around the time I got pg with B, which was ~8 months later. Of course the hormone changes of being pg again may have/probably contributed to that.

[Deleted]

Ditto the hair loss. I'm worried it's going to end up wrapped around J's toes or fingers.

Not me! Mine is in January

[sctiger]

I feel like the hair loss stopped around 6 or 7 months. I started up for four months both times for me. Hoping it will be over soon. I hate seeing hair all over the place. Gross.

[readinglove]

LTs for commiseration. Ugh. I keep apologizing to DH. Here's hoping it ends sooner rather than later for all of us!

[rachelilly23]

I'm chopping a lot of my hair off this weekend in hopes that it's not as disgusting all over me and my floors. It's been bad for me since 2.5 months pp.

[carissa325]

Quit taking the effing pacifier out of your mouth!

So happy half birthday! Lol.

The Merlin sleep suit is both beautiful and evil. Beautiful because it keeps her from moving... but evil because her arms can't defeat the sumo suit to replace her own pacifier or hold her own bottle. Dammit.

Opinions pls.....


I'm thinking I want to repaint this lamp. Out of the spray paint I have on hand these two in the pic seem the most appropriate. Fyi the one on the right is more a greenish teal (not turquoise like it looks here)
