If anyone still needs to order invites from Vista print we just got a code for 50% off, it can be used multiple times so I'll just post it here. (If you need anything besides invites it says site wide)

Good morning. Rough night over here. I lost count of how many times E was up after about 6. She kept sitting herself up and not laying back down. I would go in there and lay her back down. Wasn't someone else saying their LO was doing this? Any suggestions?
Ok. We didn't make it to trader Joe's yesterday, but I'm hoping to venture out today to buy all the things.
@elf828 - I'm kicking off the week solo parenting as well. Yay for daycare being open. I hope you get everything done you need to.
tLex - good luck with those parents. Hope they understand what a great deal they're getting.

Sounds beautiful. I want to se a PIP when it's done
To all the ladies under the weather, I hope you feel better today. DS finally seems to be feeling better but now I think i've caught what he has.
Super jealous of everyone who's off today. I have a bazillion things to do and yesterday was such a terrible dreary rainy day I didn't leave the house.
One plus for the day though, DS totally had my back this AM. My alarm didn't go off and he woke me up crying, but by the time I got into his room he had passed back out and then slept long enough for me to get ready for work. It was like he knew I had to get up.

mamosey No real improvement with the eating, still putting things in his mouth and spitting them back out. We have our 1-year appointment tomorrow, so I plan to ask the pedi about it then. Good luck to you and karlamo today!

mamosey I'll definitely let you know. I've been trying to buy the level 3 thicker purees because A will at least eat those most of the time. Does R feed himself and then spit it out? That's what A does. I'll put some stuff on his tray and he enthusiastically puts it in his mouth, but then spits it out.
DH has decided to take the day off due to his man cold :-\ I was really looking forward to a day with just me and LO, and now he'll be whining on the couch all day. I need all the wine.
To everybody else who needs a shoutout, because goldfish. L slept for 14 hours and is definitely cutting a tooth because she's been half crying half fussing since she woke up. No fever though, so I gave her some Advil and am about to drop her off at DC so I can have a free day. Poor girl, but my GAWD I cannot handle the teeth grinding.
Got mine on amazon for about $80. It's called My Passport I think.
That's the one I was looking at. Can you explain the auto back up feature? It just backs up into itself?
I didn't know it had this feature. Haha. I don't have mine plugged in all the time because I just have a laptop that is constantly being moved around. I love it though. Every two weeks I dump all my pictures from my phone top my laptop. Then once a month a I dump it all on that drive.
Looking back, we had quite the weekend! LO cut two teeth, DD2 lost her first tooth, I started my first PP AF ... I need a weekend from my weekend. And today is MLK Day so the kids are home from school and DD1 is crying about not doing anything "fun". Should be a good day.
Its totally a personal decision, but don't let yourself get swept into doing something extravagant if its just not going to work out. I would love for LO to always have a theme party, but the reality is, it just isn't going to happen every year (especially if we add more kids). I decided this year would be just cake and family. I know I just don't have time for more.
Also, do either of you have/use baby carriers? Because no joke, it saves my sanity on clingy days. He won't really let me sit down, but at least I can move about the house, cook, clean, whatever.
Just do what you can do, it's hard to look at pinterest and not want to do everything you see there, I am in the same boat... I am always finding ideas that look totally do - able but when you add them all up they are $$$ and will take so much time... try and pick 2-3 things then focus the pictures on those
mamosey Good, because you will need to pull them all out if there are in fact two little nuggets growing in there. Good luck to you and karlamo!
tLex Dh sometimes sleeps with LO on rough nights. I believe most of the precautions are for when the babies are smaller. DH has never had a problem though when LO is in the bed. When LO is in his own room..."I swear I didn't hear him."
Good morning! @elf828 enjoy your baby free day, I hope it lets you get ahead for the week so solo parenting is a bit easier. T's &P's!
The child I care for is here today, and his parents are coming after work to renegotiate our contract (it's expired anyways). I'm not looking forward to it, I don't think they have a great grasp of what in-centre daycare costs so they don't understand I'm already offering them a fantastic deal. I was researching prices last night to make sure I was still current and since I left working in a centre 2 years ago infant/toddler prices have gone up by about $300/month! Hoooooly moly.
DH wanted to try bed sharing last night, he and LO slept great, I didn't sleep a wink until she woke up to eat and I asked him to put her back down in her crib. Would it be safe to let just the two of them bed share? I have heard dads are more likely to roll over on babies?
Just getting up here, so I'm late to respond. I don't know what the right answer is, but DH sometimes cosleeps without me. My job has me gone overnight every few weeks. We didn't start cosleeping until around 6 months. I would not have been comfortable with a little, non mobile baby with him. At first, I would txt him to keep him sleeping lightly, but now I dont worry as much. He has surprised me at how much he responds to him moving, even though he used to be a heavy sleeper.
bluedot thanks for asking. I'm ok. I think I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself to make the first birthday party so cute because I'm keeping up with Joneses. But my real self says, he's only one, it's not a big deal. That and he's so clingy. And when he gets that way it makes me nuts. Then I feel bad because he's just a baby that wants his mom.
My probably UO is that baby parties are way over the top. Your baby wants a happy mom at his party. That'll be enough, however the rest pans out!
Ditto. I've said it before - we're doing a cake and pizza. There will be five of us plus baby. I might buy him a hat.
I think it's kinda like milestones - people share their awesome parties/plans/ideas and it seems like everyone is doing it. But it's ok to be a little more low key too - I promise you some of us are.

Agreed. I did Evites, nothing from Etsy, and a Publix cake. The hat, plates, and napkins were from Party City as a last second purchase and the balloons came from the grocery store when we picked up the cake. It was at a Mexican restaurant that we love and the staff loves Lily. Totally not the over the top parties with PIPs that have been advertised here, but it was perfection. So much love in the room and everybody behaved.
armfruit I'm sorry you're stressed about LO's party. I have similar feelings and go back and forth. I'm sure whatever you do will be great because you're celebrating the first year of a tiny human's life. How could you go wrong?

caer you are totally right. When I post pictures of T's party it will be of the few spots that are decorated... there won't be any pictures of 75% of my house that looks the waybit would on any given day...
My plan is to have a few balloons, DH is printing a few things, and maybe do something with streamers which will be my big project... I have lofty ideas but most of them don't pan out. I dream big... but when it comes down to it I reign it in big time...
