mominthemaking14 - I've kept mine. Next time around I'll just sterilize and check for any damage. However, make sure you store them in a cool area so the silicone isn't in an area where it gets super hot for a prolonged amount of time. Same for your bottles.

Also, if LO isn't collapsing the nipple, getting frustrated, or taking forever to finish the bottle, you don't have to change sizes. We tried with our LO at one point and the level 2 nipples were still too fast for him. We ended up changing after 6 months I think even though the package suggested we do it earlier.

ETA: He still uses Level 2 nipples.

She has recently started forever to finish her bottles and I saw a few nipples collapsing so we assumed that's what it meant, glad my mommy senses are correct. 

I'm glad I can save them, I didn't want to waste all that stuff. 

I think manufacturers just have to put something on the package to cover themselves so they don't get sued by people out there who don't use common sense and try to use the same nipple for 10 yrs. They probably also see it as a way to get moms to buy more.

That's what I was thinking. I would probably boil and sanitize them in between babes but I don't plan to throw anything out waiting for #2. I will probably check the car seat expiration. That's probably it.

I have a FFFC: I have stopped trying so hard to keep DS away from the dog's stuffed toys. I mean, it's impossible. And our dog is pretty gentle with toys, so they're not that dirty. I just went through the dog's basket and threw out the gross-looking ones.

This made me lol so much. I kinda gave it up as well. My dog shows zero interest in her toys... that is, until DS grabs hold of one, then she wants to play with it, and it becomes a gmae of tug o'war between her and DS.

ladytiffany24 - You want to come over and drink? I've been working for two and a half days, and I already need a bottle of wine. Maybe if you disappear for the night and leave DH with DD, it'll hit home. You need a break, and he needs to put in more effort.

narbuckle01 - Yay for your pants. I'm embarrassed to say that while I was quickly able to fit back into my pre - pregnancy jeans, I now no longer fit in them; I've gained so much weight after my surgery last July. ALso, my dog licks DS face, hands, feet. Whatever. I think it's cute because it's taken her a lot time to be comfortable around DS, and DS loves her sooo much, he lives to have her lick his toes.

becole - Good advise for the moms getting back to FT work. Let me tell you how I've handled mt first half week of work... I've let the house quickly go to shit. It looks like a hurricane blew through here. Oh well.

nachomomma - What a cutie pie!

ladytiffany24, I would seriously flip the F out if dh said that to me! Everything you did is completely acceptable... Sometimes they have zero idea what us mammas go through, especially doing all that you are doing!!

narbuckle01, my turn to be jealous of you! I'm totally in the phase where my maternity pants are falling off my ass, but my pre-pregnancy jeans hardly go above my thighs. I hate it!

nachomomma, what a cutie! And so big! DD had her 8 week checkup on wed and was 11lb 8oz. She's working on chunking up (now that she feeds better... we had some issues the first 5 weeks or so)!

Lol thanks for the offer! You ladies are the best.

Here's my Friday night:



Drinking makeshift sangria (red wine and orange juice lol) and watching shows on the DVR while DH scratches my back. He's my bitch tonight.

ladytiffany24 - You're not making him do nearly enough.
