Ugh somehow I missed a disposable breast pad when I put in a load of laundry, so now everything is covered in weird gel beads. Washing again with an extra rinse to hopefully get rid of the stuff. Anyone have tips if that doesn't work? Ever washed a pad or a diaper or something? It's on EVERYTHING from one little pad; I can't imagine what washing a whole disposable diaper would be like.

The answer is not pretty. 

But I just shook everything out and put it in the dryer...

In other news. poor Bobbi Kristina. Such a young life going away to soon and even worst she's going in the way her mom did. SMH.

[mishka29]

Wow 5 pages took me awhile to get through!

Teething sucks.

Today we went to our baby group, which is in a school, and they were having an emergency drill. It made me sick to realize, while huddled in a small dark room with other moms and babies, that the world really sucks sometimes. I recall fire drills in school and now they have there's someone with a gun drill. Wtf?!

They moved her to hospice and took her off life support. They said she may have a few hours to live or could live longer but the family is there saying goodbyes. They are also suing Nick Gordon for 10MIL because he "allegedly" stole money from her, beat her and knocked her tooth her out.

Yeah it is indeed. But they told them a long time ago that she wasn't going change and she wasnt in a good place when it happened in January but Bobby being the good Dad held on to hope, but the doctors said she's deteriorating so it's time to let her go. She's only 22 I believe.

It is. A parent should never have to bury their child. No matter the age.

I think technically she did, they been keeping her alive through the help of modern technology. She was pretty much a vegetable from that point on.

So tomorrow we start the 3 day potty training for DD1. I'm optimistic since we have Dora underwear on our side! But it's going to be a long 3 days.

[babycfeb2015]

dramacat that happened to us a lot during the 4 mon sleep regression. We seem to be past it now but still happens occasionally. It totally sucks!

Go DD1... Dora said.."you can do this" . Dora and SpongeBob helped us with o
potty training DSD1 I told her that Dora and Spongebob didn't like get stinky and wet and when she stayed dry and used the potty that another Dora or Sponge Bob would come out for her to wear the next day but if she had an accident it was plain panties until should could them clear and dry. It worked wonders she never wanted the to get messed up.

[AppropriateChocolate]

I'm debating if I should take an ibuprofen for my degenerated disks. My neck is super tight almost like a wind pipe closing type and hurts but last time I took one. I breastfed DD about 2 hours after and she fussed all night.. ugh.. Maybe DH can just crack my back.

AppropriateChocolate, how old was she when you trained?

DD1 is coming up to 2.5. We've been talking it up a lot and she knows that when she wears underwear she has to go to the potty. I'm hoping she follows through!

Hey ladies! I've been gone for a while learning new job and surviving motherhood. I've missed you all.

Don't know if this has been discussed (I suspect it has but I didn't see a thread dedicated to it and the search bar declined to work) but has anyone had their LO wake up screaming about 30 min after he is put down for bed at night and what did you do about it? If I go in I can soothe him within 5-10 min but he will wake up again, rinse and repeat several times until this tired mama is ready to go postal.

He usually naps twice during the day and has a bottle around 7 ish pm and is in bed by 8. Thoughts? Advice?

This actually happened for the first time last night. I just went in, gave him his paci and soothed him and he went back to sleep for the night. I think he was overtired. No real advice as like I said that's been the only time he's done it. Your LO may be dealing with the 4 month sleep regression. I know I'm not much help. Good luck!

She was 2. We started it because she started being dry in her pull ups and asking to go potty. I did it over a weekend. We stayed in the house the whole weekend and sat the potty in the living room then moved it in the bathroom towards bedtime. We also woke her up frequently in the middle of the night. Unfortunately she went back to her mom full time shortly after and she put her back in pull ups, she's 8 now and still wets the bed because her mom won't wake her at 11 to go to the bathroom. And since her mom doesn't care to do it, she doesn't care that she does it. She just thinks its something she does that's ok. Hopefully since we have her more this summer we can get her to stop

Grey's Anatomy filming? Did I miss something?

My daughter is Baby Ellis on Grey's Anatomy. I don't know how many people still watch the show, but she was the bombshell they dropped last season. She's Dr. McDreamy and Dr. Grey's baby.

There are talks of having her back for filming for this next season. We're just waiting for the call.

Just now getting a chance to catch up. This is so awesome! I just watched this episode last week on Netflix. Now I'm going to have to watch it again so I can pay attention to you LO.

I love the word momma.

It's my preferred spelling of the word.
Fwiw tapatalk will always show your original login name even if you change your displayed sn. So if you're changing so people on the boards see something different, there's still a portion of users who won't notice a change.

My preferred spelling too. "Mama" looks weird to me.

I'm the opposite. I prefer mama. I wonder if this is a regional thing.

[hollydfromtn]

Speaking of MAMA vs. MOMMA, I really want a t-shirt that say "Momma Bear" but all the ones I've seen are spelled MAMA. It had me second guessing if I'd been spelling it wrong all of this time. I'm so glad I'm not alone lol.

No, I say mom-uh.

I don't know how to make one, but if someone does, I hope they figure out a way to associate region with pronunciation. That's what in interested in.

I got into a massive semantic argument about this with my husbands family like a week ago because I have always spelled it "momma" (from Ohio, they're from California.)

Off to lurk April 15 and forget about ALL the productive things I was planning to do.
