I'm having a major FWP. Pottery barn no longer makes the matching stocking we need to order for the baby. Maybe it will show up on the website later in the season.
My mom works for them and always suggests asking in the store. Sometimes they will have stuff like that available special order.

Baby girl was able to get her vaccines today bc she just has a cold--ears and sinuses are clear. So that's a relief to not have to come back again. Just a heads up in case anyone else's pedi doesn't warn them, the rotavirus vaccine is a live virus and is excreted in their poop, so be really, really diligent about handwashing and disinfecting your diaper changing area for 5-7 days afterward.
This rain sucks. B's birthday is Saturday and I wanted to take her to Longwood Gardens, but it's supposed to rain pretty much for eternity.
This morning we went to target and then carter's to exchange a few things. My kid is 12 1/2lbs already so I exchanged the 0-3 stuff he hasn't worn yet for 3-6 month clothes. Now we're at a BounceU for 2 hours open bounce. I got a Groupon for 5 sessions for $15!
TTMA swaddle sacks. Until this week we were using swaddleme pods, which zip up. They were easy to put on and the babies slept great. But they grew out of them and I don't know what to do now! We tried the swaddleme original swaddled but we are not fans of them. The velcro is annoying and hard to put in right when they are wiggling, and more importantly there is no bottom zipper so you have to take the entire thing off for a diaper change. And M already figured out how to get an arm out.
What do you use and like? Babies are around 10 lb right now.
Woombie is the same idea and has bigger sizes. We used it for DD3, still do at night.
1 month appointment for the nugget was this morning. She's great - up to 8 lbs, 4 oz! Grow, little bean!
Pediatrician was saddened to hear that I was pumping 6x plus a day for a measly 6 oz. She recommended a hospital grade pump and to cut down to three times a day. So, a Medela Symphony is in my future. I'm perfectly happy to pump less and maintain two bottles a day of breastmilk. So, we'll see!

dc2london same here 13.5 lbs for my two month old (my friends have 4 mo olds the same weight) haha
bocaburger do you still need the swaddle? Mine likes his halo sleepsack swaddle but he likes his arms free so I was doing it just around his belly. Finally last week I was like well what's the point in this? And now I just use regular jammies lol
My friend just visited with her 4 month old.. and her marriage is not going well.. she literally said "I think I'll have another baby one day, but probably not with Dan". I was like uuum wow.

I don't know if I've ever said "I finished everything on my list and did extra housework." You are my hero.

I just want to climb into bed with my book and snuggle the baby but we have a fundraiser dinner tonight. At least I don't have to cook or wash more dishes!
Going through airport security in s middle eastern country with a breast pump. They asked me in English what it was and i was so worried to say the word breast I just kinda stared at the guy asking me. He then asked if I spoke english😳 I said yes and stammered. He asked if it was a breathing device. I just yes it's a medical device and the let me through. I was so nervous! My coworker thought it was hilarious.
Omg omg. This is gold! I'm picturing this and I am dying laughing right now 😂 This made my day lol
Yes it's one of my favorite work memories. I forgot to add my coworker was a male in his late fifties lol

So my sister is flying in from London (she's just there on a work trip) for the weekend. And she FaceTimed me to say that she has a really bad cold - and she sounds terrible! She can't change her flight because it's a voucher from her company... so I bought face masks and all the hand sanitizer. I had to tell her she won't be able to snuggle with the little guy. I feel bad, but I don't want him to get sick!!

hannahbear I know right!! They were that ridiculous couple that were fighting a week before the wedding so I think she knew deep down it wasn't going to work out. She seems totally fine with the whole thing. Weird!!

We use the woombie now too since LO kept busting out of the halo.
B has a project due tomorrow that I completely forgot about. We have to build a family totem pole. Ughhh I don't wanna. Isn't this what I pay daycare to do? Hahaha. I know I know, lazy mom status over here.
