I just gave DD her first bath in the kitchen sink. She was able to sit up pretty well with one hand on her and she really enjoyed it. She was splashing her hands and laughing. She was able to sit in the water for a few minutes rather than two seconds in the infant tub. I wish I had tried it sooner!

MIL has DD in the kitchen sink right now, she loves it. MIL puts a hand towel on the bottom to stop DD sliding then holds her up with one hand.

I currently have Christmas decorations in my laundry basket. The thought of bathing DD in the basket is going to give me the motivation to put the decorations away.
My DD did the same thing in the PnP. I feel like our babies are growing too fast
Very much this. Not happy with it, I love the baby stage.
I agree. I like all of the new things that she does, but sometimes I feel like she moves so quickly to a new milestone I barely get to enjoy the current ones.
The mother is now speaking out about this story. I do think the whole thing is terribly heartbreaking. The mother explained "her side" in a Yahoo article that I just read. It sounds to me like there was more to it than how the dad is explaining it. I can NOT relate to her but I think she has more feelings about this than dad let on. I will say that I'm glad mom was upfront about not being able to keep the baby. Way too many children are abused by parents that shouldn't have them in the first place. I hope he has a great life with his loving daddy.

Yeah, I saw a report from the Mom's POV this morning on abcnews. Sounds like she has some postpartum depression going on as well and just felt like she was in a tough spot in a country where it's difficult to raise a child with Downs Syndrome. Hearing from her, I remember how difficult things felt at first when I brought my LO home. I'm glad that she was honest with herself and wants the best for her baby. I'm sorry she's been vilified because, while in a perfect world she'd keep her baby, I know it's not all puppies and unicorns for everyone and giving her baby up might be best for both of them.
Also, I had to stop reading that poem because I don't want to burst into tears in public. My feels, man. And here I am, stuck at work, away from my LO I want to cuddle and make silly faces at!

We just got home from a party for DDs cousin. It was Mario themed and my aunt made Matio/Luigi/Princess Peach hats for all the kids. She made a special, smaller crown for Zoey and she looked so friggin cute!
She was having so much fun watching the other kids and it's amazing the overwhelming sense of happiness I get when I see her happy. I can't wait to watch her experience more things and seeing her enjoy life!
Sorry for making everyone have feels!!! Super sweet, but oh-so heart wrenching. We had a sledding party today and by the end of the day DD only wanted mommy, and revisiting that poem made it that much more special.
Took ds2 to urgent care yesterday. Waited for almost 3 hours. He has bilateral ear infections again. Both twins just got off antibiotics Thursday for the same thing. It is his 3rd ear infection. Ds1 had ear tubes at 10 months. I follow up with his pedi Friday and am going to request a ent referral. I feel like 3 rounds of antibiotics in a month and a half is too much for a little guy. I wouldn't be surprised if Dd gets another one too. My kids have bad ears.
Thanks!! I have some ideas for one for our room with HP quotes!
We've got a semi-HP themed nursery, too. It was to be fully themed, but time and laziness got the best of me. We've got a bird cage, Hedwig, Gryffindor blanket and a bunch of quotes, so it's good enough to me.

I'm saving HP for the next house. We will only be in our current house till the fall and I didn't want to go all out and then move. I can't wait!

There's a ton of cute stuff on Etsy. Depending on budget, you can even just pick a few and improvise from there. I was inspired by this
My supply is tanking so badly that I almost hope AF is coming to explain it. I've had to give the baby formula this weekend, and that's only a 'while mommy is working' thing.

I hope it's af too! For me, my supply tanked about 4 days before she showed her ugly head.
In a different note: I'm struggling a bit today. I realized that my mom gets to be with dd more than I do because of me working. Sad day.
My supply tanked fairly early on and I stopped fighting to keep it when DD hit 6 months. Well, it gave up completely for a week then I woke up 'splodey and got 18 oz each morning for 3 days and then it tanked again for about a week. Woke up yesterday with ONE 'splodey boob, the other appears not to be producing anything.

WTF is my body doing?!
I have the same thing happen. I will have floppy pancake boobs one morning and the next look like Pamela Anderson. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it

I'm really trying hard to resist posting extra funny stuff on purpose now that I know this.
The boob situation is causing actual problems though. There's a good 2-3 cup size difference right now so I may have to get creative with my bras
