Hi ladies. Hope your weekends were good!

About to dig into some French toast and bacon.

GTKY: what's your favorite meal time?

[toadandbuggie]

LO smiled for me and I got to capture it this morning!

[dramacat]

I think there is some evil magic that causes babies to wake up the minute their mom finishes making coffee.

GTKY: dinner time. So many delicious options and you get to sit down and enjoy it.

DD is currently trying to feed the baby goldfish. I love that she wants to help, but I'm trying to explain to her that he can't have them.

[misshart00]

GTKY: I love some good breakfast foods but it's so rare that I eat them.

[miniwheat]

toadandbuggie, cute smile! No smiles over here yet.

I need a drink. DS is back to being up all night. I know this is part of the whole baby gig and I have done this once before but holy crap, I am desperate for a full 8 hours of sleep. Does any Canadian moms know if you can get a RNP in Canada? I saw them on Amazon for 300 dollars?!

[mamabisme]

GTKY: It's not a regular thing, for us, but I love brunch. You get the best of both worlds (breakfast foods and lunch/dinner foods). Plus, it gives me an excuse to day drink (bloody marys & mimosas) which is always a plus! I'm already looking forward to Easter brunch.

On to spam... I woke up ravenous this morning and have sent DH out to retrieve bagels while I sit here nursing DS. It's supposed to be a yucky day here. We had planned to go to church, a spring festival and shopping for DS's Easter outfit. We'll see how much of that we can get done, with the weather.

French toast sounds amazing!!! Yogurt and English muffin luckily little lady is just chillin in her boppy. As soon as I wrote that I look over and she is smiling and spitting up everywhere. Lovely!

My DS is too up all night and last night it was every hour. Just to fuss when he wasn't hungry. I am so exhausted. If I had the chance I think I would sleep for 16 hours in a row.

I sent H to get breakfast too. Nothing being made in my kitchen today.

I choke down coffee so I can drink it while it's still hot and because I need that energy so bad.

[michelle142]

Dd gave me a 6 hour stretch of sleep last night! Somehow I'm more tired than usual.

I put on clothes, makeup and actually straightened my hair today. I feel like a real person lol

[michelle142]

Gtky: I love a good home cooked hot dinner

Would it be cheaper for someone in the US to buy one for you and ship it to you?
I've done that with other things for friends in Canada.

Headed to my parents house today.

Question for you ladies. Q's baptism is set for 5/30. We are doing a party after. We usually have a party with crawfish for dh's bday which is June 13th so we are combining the two. It would be the same people for the most part anyway.

My quesition -- do I need to have a present for the godmother and godfather? Also, for my other Catholics, do
You have something for the priest. (Our priest is a bit of a weird situation as he was my really good friend in middle and high school. He was even my date for my 8th grade dance) but should we have a thank you present for him?

I know o have time but just trying to get ahead of the game.

I have my christening gown but we need to get a new slip.

[flyster]

Dh and I are both sick, but of course his is the dreaded man cold so he's acting like he's dieing. He's seriously getting on my nerves today. I'm also sick of the conversation where I ask him to help or watch DS for a few hours so I can sleep and he acs like its a huge deal. Then I get pissy, he gets pissy because I"m pissy and then later on he apologizes for not being "supportive" I don't' want him to be supportive. I want him to f-ing be a parent for a few hours a day when the kid is not actually attached to my boob. GRRRR.

[lotsofdotts]

Y'all, I'm a new woman today! Last night the hubs and I got a date night. We went downtown to a great restuarant and I had WINE! Lord how I missed wine. We then went to a new bar that has old school video games and pinball. We had a blast! I got to play Ms. Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Frogger and Skee Ball! My husband found all the nerdy games he loved like Ninja Turtles and X-Men. We ended our perfect date night at Krispy Kreme (mostly because I was buzzed from two glasses of wine and wanted something sugary).

I didn't get long stretches of sleep but I did sleep until 10. My MIL and grandmotherIL are entertaining the baby, so I'm a happy woman today!

[missys]

My mom has wonderfully decided to come over on Saturday nights and let us sleep while she takes care of LO. It's glorious. However because of our long day on Friday, LO slept all day yesterday and was up from 11-2 for my mom....please let this be an isolated incident and not a new pattern!

[lilyelayne]

Felt terrible all night. DH got up with DS at 730 to deal with a diaper leak (stupid Huggies) and brought him to me to nurse in bed. After we were done, DH took the baby to the living room and I went back to sleep for another couple hours. Still felt terrible, turns out I'm running a low fever (100.4) FX the baby doesn't get whatever I've got.

GTKY: the evening meal because it's the only one DH and I get together most days

[angeldcf]

MIL returned from her trip to Turkey/Russia late last night. She's already here with her insane amount of "gifts" to add to her hoarding. It's hard to watch a family member squander money away on stuff- ie: she paid $400 for this Turkish doll (American Girl sized doll).... except it says "made in China," is wearing a Japanese anime shirt & plays "Barbie Girl." Ugh. I know it's her money, but it's frustrating that she buys so much stuff for the sake of stuff.

GTKY- brunch! It's usually more relaxed atmosphere, you get to eat breakfast AND lunch items, drinking that early is acceptable and encouraged.

[kartish]

First day back at work, wishing I was home. I came to work to find out someone had been using my desk the entire time I was out. I wish I was at home with LO and DH.

GTKY I love dinner best probably. I love breakfast foods, but the balance of good food and family time makes dinner better.

Does anyone know if on the app there is a way to subscribe to an entire board? Not just a thread? It would be nice if all of F15 came up under subscribed so I don't have to keep clicking into it. Yeah, I'm lazy.

I have my christening gown but we need to get a new slip.

Godparent gifts - Godparents are my brother and sister. I'm going to get them personalized frames from Things Remembered. I'm also getting a beer glass that says The Godfather for my brother and a wine glass for my sister. I don't think gifts are 100% necessary, but are nice.

Gifts for priest/church- this is a good question and I'm glad you thought of it. I know it would be something I would worry about the day of the baptism, haha! I'm not sure about this one and everything I read online contradicts itself. For our wedding, we made the suggested donation to our church and also gave the priest a card $100 cash and an invitation to the rehearsal dinner and reception (which he declined but I have seen priests attend. Probably depends how close the family is to the pries). But I also know the wedding thing is pretty standard, I'm not sure about baptism.

I'll ask my mom today if she knows- she's a mass coordinator at our church so I'm sure she's seen what goes on. We also have our baptism meeting this Thursday night at church so I'll see if there's a polite way to ask.

Awesome! I was planning on doing the same sort of presents for them.

I totally had our wedding in mind re the priest question. We paid ours the same. Not sure how it works for a christening.

Let me know what your mom says!

There used to be because I'm subscribed to F15 but I can't figure out how I did it. I'm wondering if the app updated and changed it? Let me know if you figure it out; I'd really like to subscribe to BF.

If you go to the drop down menu to the 2015 birth clubs and then press Feb 15 down for a few seconds a box pops up for me that asks if I want to add a shortcut. This is what I use on my android so I just click the F15 shortcut button on my phone and it takes me to threads for our group

Moms with babes with a blocked tear duct! DS's eye is so weepy it always has tears and discharge collecting in the outside corner of his eye. I dab it dry when I can, but the skin is now red and sort of chapped and it looks like it could be bleeding a tiny bit. Anyone else have this going on? Were you told of anything you could do to help it heal? Any advice?

I have a friend in CA, I will ask! Good idea!

badw0lf, We have been 2 to 3 times per day but still no improvement.

[kartish]

Those that pump and are back at work, how do you clean your pump in between sessions? It's my first day back and pumping at work is a pain. I have been trying to rinse and wash the pieces but I'm also trying to be quick... and avoid notice also. Not that I'm embarrassed but I would like to avoid the stupid questions.
