Thursday Spaaaaaaaaaam!!!

[dreemkin]

I accidentally mixed bleach and CLR in the toilet bowl and got nervous when the fumes started getting bad and flushed it. Do you think my pipes will be okay? I flushed a second time in hopes of diluting it more... anyone know about this?

Add me to the hair loss club. But mine has always been super thick so it's not showing anything different but everytime I brush it I have do clean out the brush

I've always had a lot of hair, so it's hard to even notice that I've been losing so much. But I have a tribble in the corner of my shower where I've been pushing all my loose hair so it doesn't clog the drain.

Your pipes should be fine, I'd be more worried about yourself. Are you feeling okay? Mixing those two together creates toxic fumes, similar to chlorine gas I believe.

aggiebug Happy Anniversary!

jensoprano82 I've actually been quite impressed with Target's Up & Up brand of diapers so far. They can hold a lot!

Today was orientation at daycare. Kind of bittersweet since that means I have to go back to work in a few days. What's kind of funny is that another new baby starting soon has the same name as LO (Nolan) and they had none at the daycare previously. It had been my favorite boy name for years and I noticed that when names were being thrown around on TB that lots were using it, so I think it's become pretty popular in the past year. Oh well, I just have to make sure that everything is labeled with last name or initial. Speaking of labels, I'm looking into the Inchbug bottle bands that you can get with your LOs name, but I'm hesitant to get them because the only font available is Comic Sans, lol. Another company makes a similar product, but all of the colors are sold out except powder pink...grr. Oh, and one of the other parents brings their baby bottles in an empty beer 6 pack box. Ha!

I win blackout bingo!

DS is now PTd, but was last in his class (over 3yo) an been bed wetting almost every night this week.

At least you know which parents to befriend first

I keep crying today. Just crying randomly throughout the day. And now DH is home and wants to know reasons & how to help and that's sweet and all but just makes me cry more because I have no reasons and he sounds upset and that upsets me and... yeah. I guess that's all. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Been there. I'm sorry. Hormones are screwy things.

Love tit for support. I've also been there and I hate that irrational feeling when you can't explain why you're upset and you know that it seems weird but you can't get past it all the same. I hope these hormones soon!

[dreemkin]

Mustard gas, holy shit. I'm feeling fine, thanks. I realized it pretty quickly, flushed, and put the bathroom fan on. Lesson learned. I was trying to get rid of a pesky toilet bowl stain...sigh

[mishka29]

GeekBeagle, if you are order labels I would get just your last name

I like your Star Trek reference! 
DH and I have 3 tribbles. I got them for him as a valentine gift when we were dating. 

[lilyelayne]

misshart00 & wimcgrath thanks, ladies. So nice to have people who understand hormones.

@holachica I'm glad the mass was a good experience for you & your LO
cloe111479 the start of last night's LSU game was disheartening. Glad we won, and hope tonight is better.

[cloe111479]

The rain has not stopped since I left work this afternoon. Yuck.

Pumping in the other room and I can hear DH talking to dd and making her (and himself) laugh. Makes me smile so much.

S/o from the bingo. Did you see they recommend rear facing until 2 and strongly recommend until 4? That has changed since I found out I was pregnant!

Don't get me wrong I understand it's a safety thing and I take it seriously, but I can barely keep track anymore.

How are kids legs gonna fit rear facing at 4? Hell, even 3? I have an off-the-charts tall 2yo but I can't imagine her being rear facing still.

From what I've heard from extended rear facing moms, the kids just bend their legs & deal with it, because safety.

[lilyelayne]

A state trooper talked about car seat safety at an infant care class I took while pregnant. He never mentioned rear facing past a year (one year is the law here), and he's a certified car seat safety inspector. I thought he might at least throw it out there that the federal recommendation is two years, but nothing.

Yeah I've been labeling things with just our last name. Mostly because we know we want a second and (s)he'll have many of his hand-me-downs.

Random spam of The day

Amazon prime has ruined me from buying so many online things. I'm so cheap when it comes to paying for shipping.

Oh that thing I wanted is only $5. Oh... But I have to pay $4 shipping. Nah... Never mind.

I'm spoiled.

Me too. And also the two day shipping. Im so confused when it's been a week since I've ordered something and still haven't received it.

[mommadozer]

lilyelayne hormones are awful. Hope tomorrow is better.

cloe111479 the weather across the U.S. seems to be so wacky lately. In California, we had more rain in the last month than the entire winter. Yes, I am spoiled by Amazon prime as well. Have you ever had something delivered on Sunday? I kinda feel bad for making the mail lady work that day.


dreemkin that's my thoughts on LOs facing backwards. It couldn't be safe with their legs crammed into the seat. it probably doesn't help to keep the car seat in place either if they are able to push and or kick the seat.

Once again, DS would only fall asleep on his own in the crib laying on his tummy. Ugh..... Makes me a bit nervous since I am not up watching him. DH came up with the genius idea to flip him over once he was in a deep sleep and it worked!!! This is our new sleep routine now. Got him down in 20 minutes compared to almost an hour.

Literally this exact thing happened to me yesterday, I was so depressed and miserable it was scaring me and my hubs. I had a two hour stint where I didn't want to handle the baby because I was so dour and didn't want him to see. This morning I got my period. I neeeever pms! Screwy ass hormones!

[aggiebug]

dreemkin it is 4 years, 40 pounds , or 40 inches whichever comes first. Yes it seems crazy to me trying to fit a child in there especially when they are not wanting to. Like lilyelayne the kids just cross their legs and I guess they are more at risk to breaking bones in their legs but that is much better than their back/ neck...

[lilyelayne]

mommadozer thanks for the support

jensoprano82 sorry you went through a similar hormone roller coaster. Maybe I should wear a liner today just in case AF decides to visit.

[jensoprano82]

lilyelayne - sorry you went through it too!!! Hope you feel better now

I was just reading about it too. I feel so bad for those girls.
