<-----currently has $900+/- worth of car seats in two cars.  (haven't bought convertible for LO3 yet)

Dannnng girl!

its not because we are fancy - We have 3 LOs and the oldest is 3.5 (on the 18 month "plan"), and they spend equal amounts of time in both cars for DC drop off and pick up, so there is no switching the seats around.  and we are kind of limited in the options since we fit them all in a single row.

DH is on a business trip so LO slept most of the night in bed with me. She kept spooning with me it was so cute. Now we're just snuggling. I have a feeling it's going to be a great day!

When I post on the support threads I basically want to say the same supportive things as the other posters but always worry that my post will be too similar and therefore look insincere. Hey, I'm insecure, so what??

I always feel the same!

LO always takes the longest naps when I have no motivation to work. Just spent two hours messing around on my computer and worked maybe 10 mins. It's always when she takes short naps that I actually am motivated and focused. BLAH

Ever since having a baby, red wine gives me heartburn

I had to delete like 7 gb of photos and video off my phone yesterday, and it gave me such massive anxiety. I back up all of my media via google backup, AND I imported all of the photos to my iPhoto, but I'm still nervous that I'll lose them. Lol. I've never been so attached to photos since I had a baby. 

I did my umpteenth painting-while-drinking class last night, and I am not super thrilled with the outcome for the first time ever. Looks too cartoony, because I can't manage thin lines. I feel like I need to fix this somehow.

Reid has rotavirus and hasn't kept anything down since MOTN Friday night. Can we catch a break yet?

[mrsnorris]

leroybrown, that sucks! I'm sorry- I hope he feels better soon!

[cdseno]

I bought new make up today. That's about all I have to say for right now. This whole week is busy. I like having stuff to do, but this week is super full.

[lunarmodule626]

My lunch just consisted of three bowls of pirate booty and half a bag of milanos.

I had lunch with a mommy's group and then went shopping. I may have stopped again for a mcdonalds break.
<.----fat kid today

Why is it when you have money to spend, there are no good clothes but when I don't have money, I want to buy all the things?

leroybrown hope he feels better!

Story of my life!

[Deleted]

I work with this lady that is always talking about how she has to lose weight. She is smaller than I am and no way overweight, so it annoys the shit out of me. She never shuts up.

Furthermore, said coworker is always commenting on everyones lunch, like how much they are eating, etc. She says things like this, "Did you see how much so ad so ate for lunch...she's gonna get fat". My reply, "um? No. Don't really care."

So, needless to say, I always sneak my lunch in the break room so she doesn't see it. But she ALWAYS finds some reason to talk to me so she can see what I am eating. I am starting to think she is under the impression that it's a big competition. But, I'm like..."you can win, lady. Just me eat my tacos".

Before I came back from maternity leave she had to call me for some work related thing. And I kid you not, her first question wasn't about LO or his/my health, but..."have you lost all the baby weight yet?". Seriously, get a life.

[cdseno]

leroybrown I hope things start looking up and everyone gets healthy soon!

Question for real..all day my baby is going from laughing to crying back to laughing over and over. Like 5 switches per minute when he's not being held. What is this?? A teething thing? (He has none so far) seriously sometimes he is even laughing while he's crying, it's so weird.

LO had both bottom teeth come through last week and this was her. Hot mess.

Omg, I hope it's the case for us too. The only place I have felt bumps are where his canine teeth will be but I know it would be really unusual to get those first. I just hope something happens soon. I've been blaming everything on teething for like 2 months.

ME TOO. Damn teeth. I was so happy when the first one popped through I cried. Mostly because I was hoping the crazy laughing/crying would be over soon and I could have my happy baby back.

WTF is happening here?! I walked away and came back to this. I'm ok with him growing up, but holy shit this seems fast.

So there is no school today because of President's Day ...but my school decided it would be a great day to have professional development. I could have probably gotten out of it as part time, but I have logged no hours this school year as I was on mat leave at the start of school. Ugh
Also, I am really trying to eat cleaner and they will be starting the day with these really amazing donuts.

I could not figure out why you would eat cleaner (I was thinking like bathroom cleaner, window cleaner, etc.). I even got a good nights sleep last night, so I don't even have an excuse!

Chrisse the 4ever is a really nice seat. Here is a whole blog post of recommended seats along with pros and cons. Sometimes it is easier to see what the experts have said after reviewing the seats. I have a Nextfit in my car and I love it. Some people say it is a pain to get tight, but I never had any major issues and it slowly got easier the longer I used it. Plus it is really easy to install.
carseatblog.com/carseatblogcoms-recommended-car-seats/

Thank you!

I was using the Car Seat for Littles comparison tool, but I felt like the information just wasn't sinking in. The Nextfit is also on my list.

I'll second the Nextfit! We love it, and have a (mostly) happy car baby now!
