@lilylayne feel better soon.
My baby is refusing to nap... We FINALLY got her down... And now I can't nap! I really wanted to get out today and take her to the pool-- but will just let her sleep.
Anyone here do weight watchers. I really need to get a check on things-- been feeling very down on myself not sure where to start.
Greetings. Well it happened finally. Babywearing blow out. Poop all over mommy. I needed to get a new outfit at target too. Ugh. Good thing she is so cute
Oh no! That sounds awful. We had a little bit of leakage yesterday but not a full blown blow out. I just took a wipe to my shirt and the ergo and we went on about our business. I dread the day we have full blow out while I'm wearing him.

I'm doing ww currently. Kinda slacked last week but getting back on board tomorrow.
Hit post too soon. I do the online and app program. I thought it'd be too hard dragging lo to a weekly meeting. Also, check if your insurance will pay for it. Our health insurance reimburses some of it

Re: baby clothes, sizes drive me crazy, too. DS is long and skinny and has been able to wear most stuff a pound past the recommended size. He's started to chunk up this past month, so I think we'll be out of the 6 months sooner. We received so much 6 month stuff as gifts, so I'm trying to get them worn at least once each.
I have some off brand stuff that is so awkwardly sized. Like Carter's and most other brands are long and skinny onesies, but these are short and fat. I don't think we'll ever wear them. I recently got out a gift set that had an outfit and sleeper from a random brand and the 6/9 sleeper is shorter than the 0/3 ones we had. So it won't get used and I had no idea where to return it. Oh well.

Who was talking about queso yesterday!? I went to Aldi determined not to buy any junk but couldn't resist the queso. Now I am sitting here stuffing my face with chips and queso.
I've had a really bad day. A family member called and yelled at me for going on vacation with "friends" (my husband and LO) when my mom almost died (not true--she was ill and hospitalized, though). I was/am pretty upset because I didn't know if he was being over the top or if my mom and dad were hiding the truth from me. Turns out he was just out of line. As I explained to him, my mom was the one who told me to go ahead and go on vacation as planned. Even though I've talked to my mom and dad, I am still upset. I'm trying not to ruin the only family vacation we will have for a few years though.

mumomma13 that sucks, i'm sorry You totally deserve a family vacation. Don't let idiots spoil it for you!
We ended up having a good day. Went to a town I used to live in thats really fun and family friendly. They were having a ferarri festival, and the heavy rain held off so we were able to walk with the babies around a bunch until my friend's two year old started a two year old meltdown. Then i called up another friend who lives in the area that I don't see that much. She and hubby happened to be around with no plans, so babe and I went to their place and hung out for a few hours. Relaxing for mommy, fun for baby! That couple will probably be next on the baby list, assuming all goes well. They were both so into little man, he conked out hard for the hour drive home after all the fun. Didn't stir until after he was in the house.
Between friend outings, I made my first trip to once upon a child to get some swimwear. OMG that place is amazing. I've been still using up Carters gift cards to supplement clothes other people give us, so I haven't needed to go there yet. its a gold mine. I didn't know they had other baby stuff like strollers, too!

That happened to DH yesterday morning! I had to clean up the aftermath. The poo got thru DH's t shirt and his undershirt. The ergo and its little pillow is finally dry. Ugh.
Re: baby clothes size. I have a giant baby. Carters suck. They're the worse when it comes to shrinkage. LO started wearing Carters 12mos at 4mos and he's almost getting a bit too tall for some of their stuff. All his clothes are 9-12mos depends on the brand. Gap stuff is larger. Some stuff I got from the baby showers weren't even worn at all. I had a lot of stuff in 3mo and 6mo, LO bulked up at 2mo, so when he reached the right height, the sleeves were too tight to fit thru those guns.

I find the clothes thing so funny. Both of my kids are fantastic in carters but swimming in a variety of other brands because they're too wide and short.
Oh +1 to crappy sleep last night. DS woke every bloody hour. I feel like I fed him about 6 times from 9-9. The longest sleep we got was 9-11pm. It's now almost 5pm, I'm already dreading the night.
Good news is, this is my final week of night shift. DH, you're up. Muhahaha

Carter's tends to cater to the long and skinny body type. I have to admit their stuff feels so much more quality. Hence I still buy them, DS has both girth and height, just need to buy much bigger sizes.

Omg this thought hadn't even occurred to me. DD hasn't been in the carrier in a while since she doesn't like getting so warm in it, but wow I have a new fear when the weather cools down again lol!

I also find the sizing interesting. So inconsistent! Carters is actually the kind I've felt stays truest to size for DD even though she's a small chunker. Gerber is always tiny amd shrunken so we don't buy any of that anymore, Koala Baby seems to be the correct size when she moves the next size up at first, and Carters fits her at the tail end. There are a couple other brands we have from friends too, but they're all over the place.

hope you can catch up on some sleep now! Yay no more night duty!
mumomma13 that's totally shit. You know your parents and they know you, don't let someone stick their nose in your business when they don't know or understand what's going on.
Well the potty training weekend is over. Overall I think it went well but I think the book oversold the results. The book says no pulls ups but I think we will be using them bc daycare has their own method with pullups during certain times of the day.
The 3 day method was a good crash course in using the potty but there is still work to be done. The book says 22 months is the best time but I think for us waiting may have been better but no looking back now!

flyster Once Upon A Child is my new go to baby store. I just went for the first time this week too. It was amazing! That's where I snagged DS' new exersaucer that I posted in the weekend AW thread.

mumomma13 I'm so sorry your family member did that. I'm glad you were able to talk to your mom and dad to make sure they weren't really upset and hiding it. I hope you can still enjoy your vacation.

I'm another carters girl. She wears them for the longest. We have a few sleepers from children's place and they will be the first ones she grows out of. It's always the legnth first.
(Carters by me had a good 40% off clearance this weekend. She is taken care for for 6-9 and the begingkng of 12 month stuff)
