Anyone else watch the nfl draft last night? I wonder if the league commissioner likes his job. He got booed every time he came on stage to announce draft picks. I knew Saints fans hate him, especially because the bounty fiasco, but I didn't realize he was universally reviled.
I get more excited about weekends now that I SAH with LO than I have since I was a kid. Woo Friday!
hehe. The neurotic side of me always wants some kind of alliteration in these spam titles, but the realistic side of me isn't witty enough to come up with anything clever :-P

I almost let it go that no spam had been started since I'm sure we all have things to say in the bitchfest thread
The in-laws are coming down today for the weekend. They haven't seen DD in at least a month and a half so I'm glad they're getting to come down. They were going to be here last weekend but my MIL ended up feeling sick and didn't want to risk it. Usually I don't exactly look forward to their visits (they're not awful, just sort of an annoying nuisance), but it'll be nice to have two extra sets of hands to pass DD off to for a couple days. I'll just have to be careful about them overstimulating her and making sure she gets her normal amount of naps.
And since the in-laws will be down DH and I are going to see Avengers tomorrow and go out to lunch.
the difficulty of naming threads is one reason I don't like to start spam I have thread naming anxiety.
Not much going on today. I think its supposed to rain later, so I was planning on cleaning the house. It is in dire need. Other than that, just starting to prep for work on Monday (!) AHHHHHHHHH
ChickenOnSunday moving our conversation to today's thread - I was sad to lurk TB, not because it's dead, but because some of the posts were along the lines of "this is my first post but I'm really overwhelmed / frustrated / sad as a new mom" and there would be a response or two, then nothing. No conversation, no ongoing support. I don't want to think about surviving the last 8 weeks without this community.
I wonder how the BMBs here are doing - especially the ones for women who've gotten pregnant since the exodus. Maybe I should go lurk

My coworker is 9w pregnant. I know because I casually mentioned I am getting rid of my maternity clothes so just let me know if she wants them. Coworker gives me a crazy look and outs herself. Obviously I'm super excited because she was starting the process of IVF just before I had DD2. I'm torn on telling her to join either TD or PB. I want her to get the most support possible but I don't know how active the new BMB's are over here. Also, she is LGBT so that adds another wrinkle along with the IVF.
flyster enjoy your weekend! I hope it's a nice, snugly, happy baby filled one.
dacora GL with the inlaws. Hooray for a date with DH!
lilyelayne we watched the draft for a bit until I made DH shut off the tv bc DS has all of a sudden become enthralled by the TV. Not sure if he's starting the easily distracted phase bc it was a challenge to feed him.

One of my old students plays for Wake Forest, and his best friend was drafted 16th so he was posting pictures of the draft and after party on social media all night. It was kind of cool to see it from the inside.
Yes, the commissioner is hated. I didn't realize it either until last year and my husband told me why but I forgot what he said.
I need to buy a new french press. The one I have on island only makes one cup and that's not quite enough coffee. I need one that makes 2-4 cups. Maybe this weekend.
Brought to you by accepting I need to cut soda consumption way down again.
Happy Friday! Today I am getting DS some gas drops and DD and DS have a birthday party tomorrow and we are to be dressed like pirates for a treasure hunt! So I am also going to see what I can find to get them ready to find some gold dabloons. (<-- anyone else watch a ton of Jake and the Neverland Pirates?) I might also do some yard work with DH and see of DS will let me wear him. My guess is no.
Just dropped DD off for her daycare trial. Wahhhh. I'm sitting at home pumping then I will go get a hot lunch. I'm only keeping her there for like 3 hours so I will be picking her up before I know it!
ChickenOnSunday yay for your coworker!! If it were me, I'd explain why I like being active in the forum & that I used to be on TB but moved to TCF. She can check out both and see if either fits. I've seen a LGBT families board listed here but never had a reason to click. May or may not be active. cougarette the Saints drafted a Clemson player first round miniwheat my nephew is obsessed with Jake and the Neverland Pirates so yes I watch it.
Didn't watch the draft last night but saw posts about the boos. I knew us Nola people hated him with a passion(thanks bounty gate) but only recently realized everyone else does too.
Dd slept in her bouncy chair in our bedroom last night with the humidifier right over her. It seems to have made a difference since she wasn't really coughing any this morning. But was just a little bit stuffy. Let's hope this is the way things are turning. I can't take that little cough. It's so sad.

I have DS at daycare right now too! he refused to nap all morning and then fell asleep while I brought him back to the infant room. I hope this is a sign of good things.

Happy Friday, ladies! I'm watching Brady nap on his playmat with his thumb firmly planted in this mouth. I am going to let him sleep for another hour before I head out to happy hour! I am super excited to have a beer and laugh with my friends.
I still haven't cleaned house. It is a disaster so I think I don't even want to start. I am going to say it will happen tomorrow. Today I'm not feeling it...again.
Poor DS. He's having such a rough time eating. He screams at the boob even though I know he's hungry and it takes so long to get him latched. I broke down and pumped him a bottle which he slurped down and is asleep now. I don't know what it is! I thought maybe it was the sucking bothering him but he calms with a pacifier so I don't think that's it, and he's been doing fine for weeks without a bottle so I don't think it's just impatience. Argh!
On the bright side I'm glad he ate and is peaceful!
