Unicorn dust for everyone! This regression/growth spurt what ever it is is kicking everyone's ass it seems.
I was just looking back at some photos of me before getting KU. I am kicking myself like why was I so unhappy with how I looked then! I wish I was at that weight now! 25lbs to go though.... Once I start getting some sleep I WILL make a better effort to exercise. sigh. I contemplated popping in my 30DS dvd at 4:30AM then thought fuck it, I am going back to bed.
I know. Why was I not happy with this?! Now I just want to look CLOSE to that, and I'll call it good.
But it makes me sad to think that when I go back to work in just a few weeks I won't be here every night for these cuddles And she will be stuck with DH How will she cope without the cuddles?!?!?! How will I?!?!?!
These look cool. Has anyone ever bought and used these? It's a wrist and foot rattle set.
i got these as a gift. used them maybe twice and coops didn't seem to be too interested in them. he's more interested in bigger toys that rattle (and aren't attached to him). and he tries to eat his hands with or without these little rattle bracelets, so i don't think they made any difference or held his interest at all.
So DS will be 17 weeks on Sunday, and he's just now starting to like the paci. The wubbanub lives in the car for car rides, but he likes the Tommee Tippee ones for naps and general soothing. So on one hand, I'm excited that I can soothe him with it instead of having to walk him around or rock him back to sleep. On the other hand, popping it back in his mouth makes me nuts. I have fantasized about taping it to his mouth (obviously, I would never actually do this).
windwithfingers, when DS1 was finally old enough to put the pacifier back in his own mouth it was life-changing. We bought like 10 of them and scattered them around his crib so he could find them in the MOTN. Soon enough with these LOs!
So I don't know if I have mentioned a girl I know, who was pregnant the same time as me. Her DS is 6 months and she just found out she is 10 weeks pregnant. I should have said congratulations, but I have been putting it off because I actually feel a little sad. She didn't want her first when she found out it was a boy. She is very spoilt, asking her partners parents to buy a £900 pushchair but wouldn't pay anything towards it because she was saving for her £100 lipstick and other expensive make up.
The couple have been together for just over a year and are in counselling because all they do is fight. They live with his parents and she has taken their room so hi parents sleep in the living room. Yesterday she said she will go through with the pregnancy because at least that means she will get more gifts. I just cant bring myself to speak to her. Maybe I am just judgemental...
You need to tell her she's a selfish bitch and never speak to her AGAIN.
I really would if I could. But I have to keep the peace as SO works with her partner and they are pretty good friends. She used to text me asking to meet up, she got the hint after a fair few 'oh I am so busy' excuses.

You were unhappy with that! You looked amazing Purp! I am sure you still look great! I went from a size 4 when I met H to a 14 right now. Makes me sick

Same here. I was looking through old vacation pictures a few weeks ago and found a pre-baby bikini picture. I remember not wanting the picture taken. I can't believe I didn't think I looked good!
You probably remember that yesterday morning my little chubby Houdini wiggled himself out of his mamaroo and fell on the floor and I'm MOTY. I decided to figure out a way to strap him in while still swaddling. Cut a slit down the bottom center of the swaddle and sewed it to make legs. Worked like a charm!
I'm still catching up on Randos, so this might have been said, and I meant to say it yesterday, and now I have deja vu, but some of the swaddlemes have a slit just for this purpose! We never use it, but whatever.
I've got a good weekend ahead of me, starting tomorrow!
I get my hair cut in the morning (WOOT!) and then my Mom is taking me and the girls over to Disney for the rest of the day! Then Saturday, we're going to visit some of DH's family a few hours south of us and stay overnight. Not too excited about taking the dog with us, but the friends we normally leave him with are having a flea issue at the moment. One of my cats is highly allergic to fleas, so that's a no-go.
So I'm guessing I won't be on here like, at all, this weekend. But I'll miss you notches!
Have fun! Pictures of the hair when you return!
You know it! I'm too excited about it not to share
Guise. DD slept 8 hours last night. IN HER CRIB. Amazing.
After a horrible night of sleep the night before, DH and I were talking about needing to transition her. I got home from work to find that he had her all set up and asleep in her nursery. I was skeptical but man alive - from donkey to unicorn in less than 24 hours.
That's amazing! Nice work! Was that the first night that she slept in her crib? Our DD is still in her RnP in our room and JUST started to sleep in 4-5 hr. stretches so I'm hesitant to do anything different now, but I'd love to have her in her own quiet space. Also, did you elevate one end of the crib mattress slightly or do anything like that?
It was her first night! She has been taking all her naps in her crib for some time now. We didn't do anything special, just plain old crib.
She had been in the PNP in our room, and this might be stupid, but I think it was getting uncomfortable for her. The mattress in those thing is kind of crappy, and since she's approaching the weight limit for the bassinet I wonder if she was just noticing it more. Her crib mattress is obviously leagues better. Plus with all the noise we probably make in our sleep she must have liked the peace and quiet! Who knows if this will last but I'm glad her first night was a good one.
I meanwhile, slept kind of crappy because I kept waking up and checking the monitor to make sure she was still breathing or whatever...
I've got a good weekend ahead of me, starting tomorrow!

I am so jealous of you for living so close to Disney. I would be there like every weekend. Have so much fun today!
I would be there every day if I could. I'm not even kidding.

Thanks. I'm sort of embarrassed that that photo is GINORMOUS.
I don't care about a specific size. I really wouldn't care about the number on the scale either. I just want to fit back into my pants. I loved my clothes. I hate this. I don't know if I'll ever fit back into them, just because pregnancy changes things. So, I might lose the weight, but I might never be the same size or look like that.
And, I'm at a place where I can acknowledge that I do look good for having a baby, and it was definitely worth it, and I'll definitely do it again...but it still does suck.

I was considering starting an "inspirational pic" thread on FB but didn't know if it would upset people....

So S has been a bit of a unicorn baby, but I think maybe last night kicked off the 3 month sleep regression? He ate 8oz at 11:00pm, woke up at 3:30am (usually he sleeps 6 hours, so this was surprising), ate 4oz , woke up at 6am, ate 4 more ounces (obviously I should have fed more at 3:30am), woke up at 6 and DH changed him and put him back to bed, where he made sounds until 6:30ish, and then woke up for the day at 8.
He's now occasionally taking 40 ounces/day. Maybe he has a record growth spurt on the horizon?

My normally happy, smiling, Chatty Cathy baby does not feel well. Day 2 of sleeping the day away. At least she isn't crying when she's awake like yesterday. Made a pedi appointment for 2:15 just to rule out any kind of sickness/infection.

Gotta enjoy the little things my office mate is gone today which means pumping without a cover?. If only i really had my own office post maternity leave like promised...
DHs stupid fucking dog got skunked at 4am.. our house reeks and DH was late for work. He gave her a bath with vinegar but the smell has filled our house. And it's too cold to keep her in the garage so she's in the basement. I have the ceiling fan going and glade plug ins but it just smells like Hawaiian ass. Stupid dog.
If tomato juice doesn't work, try douche. Yep, you end up buying a shit ton of bottles, but I have friends who swear that the stuff works to get rid of skunk funk.

So I decided to hop over from the bump finally, and I find 7 pages of randoms at 11 am? Not caught up, but waving hello...Going to take the next few days to figure PBs out, I think, then will probably jump in more.
