misshart00, dacora, I saw it over the weekend too, and I was SO disapointed!! I had sooooo been looking forward to this movie and I thought it was terrible! Her running in the heels was ridiculous, and I thought all of the acting sucked. The raptors storyline was lame. I wish they focused on making the movie scary and suspensful like the first, rather than trying to insert weird humor. Nothing compares to Jurrasic Park!

[mels823]

Does anyone remember when I mentioned a week or so ago that my bff wants me to go to on vacation with her for a week in January? And leave the day of my baby's first birthday?

I saw her yesterday, and she honest to god says to me "so I've been thinking. You have known me for 30 years! and Charlotte only 6 months! I totally feel like 30 years wins and you should celebrate my birthday with me, she won't even remember hers!"

W.T.F. she just does not get it. I would NEVER ever ever leave on vacation, with my best friend, for an entire week, and miss my baby's first birthday. She is delusional. I don't think she was kidding either.

*yawn* morning all.

What a night! Abby wanted nothing to do with sleeping in her crib last night. But once we picked her up and held her, she stopped wailing. DH and I got in a huge fight again. I made him get up and comfort her one of the times which he did but it didn't do anything and I got up the other 100 times. Then he flips out on me and tries to go downstairs to sleep. I followed him around the house with Abby and was like, ummm I don't think so buddy. I have to work tomorrow too- you don't get to catch up on sleep in the basement while I deal with the crying, teething baby alone all night. He got my point and came back up to bed. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I might actually leave work early today just simply to go home and sleep. I need it badly and my boss is out today.

Aw really? I loved it. But the heels thing was distracting.

[mels823]

mands1125 I would have been livid! That is so frustrating. It's happened to us a few times too, but never has my H tried to go downstairs to sleep. If he did that I would set off the "find my iphone" alert on his phone every 5 minutes to wake him up. Hopefully you have a better night tonight!

[WittyLittle]

mrsclark731 how did i only see your poop post just now? Is there permanent damage? Hope you dont have carpet :/

[WittyLittle]

Keys haveng been found yet. DH lost the original key so this is the spare wd are talking about. i dont even know why he uses my car... his is better! Homocidal tendencies over here

[aggiebug]

mels823 Are you flipping kidding me? Your friend is incredibly narcissistic. I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that she was just giving you enough time to plan/ didn't think about timing with LO's b-day etc. But nope not anymore. I am sorry you are dealing with a shitty friend. Time to tell her no and move on.

mands1125, ugh I am so sorry you were dealing with a fussy baby and a poorly behaving husband. I say you have a plan before bed. Maybe hey H we both need sleep and last night was rough if you can take the early shift I will cover the late shift so we can both try and get some sleep.

Does she have kids? This makes no sense. No, she won't remember her first birthday, but you will. It's a big milestone in her life.

[miniwheat]

Today is my DD's birthday! I have a 3 year old riding a scooter through the house and its awesome!

[miniwheat]

mels823, I can't even believe I read that. She seems like a handful of a person. I would have responded with a lot of laughing and 4 letter words.

Oh my goodness!!! I don't know how you kept from hitting her after a comment like that. It's your daughter's FIRST birthday, that's not something you just skip because she won't remember it.

[missys]

mels823 wtf?!?! Ok beyond the ridiculousness of that request her logic is all sorts of effed up. Knowing her for longer matters? How about that you not only carried that child inside of you but you MADE her with your husband and she is an extension of you! That trumps her time card. The fact that I even had to think of that reply shows what a selfish person your friend is.

There is carpet in her nursery. I have dogs... I am experienced in carpet poo removal. It wasn't what I wanted to do at 5:50am. However this does bode well for my request of new carpet upstairs

[mrsclark731]

mels823, that bitch is cray. Just laugh it off and try your best to explain, assuming you still want to be friends with her. Someday she'll understand and hopefully feel like a selfish asshole.

[lilyelayne]

flyster yikes!
cougarette poor baby cougar. It's weird the things that upset babies and the things they don't care about at all.
toadandbuggie I think some babies are okay eating just during the day but some can't go that long. Some BF babies reverse cycle when mom goes to work where they eat minimally at daycare and then wake up all night cause they prefer nursing over bottle (not that this is your situation, obviously, just that it's a thing that works for some babies). Can you drop the dream feed, since that's not one he wakes and asks for?
junebugjam no advice for the thumb sucking, but I feel like this will be DS in the future. Are you comfortable giving him a lovie of some kind? DS isn't a fan of the paci but if he's got this elephant blankie he'd rather chew on it than his fingers.
mels823 holy shit. Your bff is having trouble adjusting to reality of you as a parent. Or, woah, your rose colored glasses are coming off. Sorry.
miniwheat happy birthday to your big girl!

[lilyelayne]

toadandbuggie for dropping dream feed, or another feed if you wish to try, maybe try making it shorter by a minute or two each night (or less in the bottle if it's a bottle feed) until it's gone instead of stopping cold turkey? Or just stop and see how it works. If kid is a screaming mess and you can't take it, you can always still feed!

Aww, I really liked it too. Obviously not as good as the original, but I thought it was fun. I wasn't expecting an amazing movie, it was pretty much what I expected. The heels, and then whatever Chris Pratt was trying to do with that weird accent.

In regards to your 'friend'... What a crazy bitch! Seriously? Someone needs to get over herself pronto.

[PikoPiko]

toadandbuggie,sounds like your LO is running on a similar schedule as DS. He goes to bed at 9.30 after his 9pm feed, up again at 12, 3 and 6am. Keep us posted on dropping a feed if you're going to attempt it. My pedi told me he doesn't need to eat at night and to drop a couple of feeds. DS refuses to sleep when I tried to drop the 3am. Even if he went down, he'd be up at 4 looking for milk and I'd spend another 30mins getting him to sleep only to have him wake again at 5 doing it all over again.

[missys]

Going to the obgyn is not as fun when you don't have a baby inside of you. I swore I was one and done but, babies!!

But it's so much easier to leave that urine sample when you don't have to maneuver around a big belly!

[GeekBeagle]

mels823 My jaw just dropped reading that comment. I can't believe your friend really believes that. How did you respond to her?

[mels823]

GeekBeagle, I was just like "oh man, trust me I really wish I could take a vacation but there is no way I could leave her for a week, especially during her birthday!" It's just the weirdest thing. She is the nicest girl, my absolute best friend, so very considerate and generous, but she truly just does not understand my life as a parent! Even after I got married it was hard for her to understand that my life was a bit different.

[GeekBeagle]

mels823 Yeah, I guess that's the best you can do if you still want to be friends. It sounds like she is just really naive.

[lilyelayne]

DS hasn't eaten since 630. I think he has so much nasal drainage he doesn't realize he's hungry? And it's uncomfortable to eat? Good results with the nose frida and still cries when I try to feed him. Tried every position, every room, a steamy bathroom, together in the bathtub. If he won't eat by noon I guess I'll pump and syringe feed him should I be calling my pedi? I can't imagine what they could do that I'm not trying.

Poor feller!

Is he being fussy when you try to feed him? After DS's shots he was really fussy and didn't want to latch on. I'd hand express a little in his mouth and it's like he'd say, oh yeah, this is the good stuff".

Yes. I tried that but then he just yelled at me with milk in his mouth. He's been in a pretty good mood other than when I've tried to feed him, but he's starting to get cranky. Maybe I'll swaddle him or something.

missys, I AM IN THE SAME BOAT. M has a meltdown if I put him down any later than 6-6:30 but then he's wide awake and ready to go at 5am. I don't know how to keep him sleeping longer! Then he likes to take an early morning nap for 2 hours after I'm up and can't go back to sleep.

This might be awful advice but it just might work (or be an epic fail). 

If your LO wakes up at 5 am for the day, you go and wake them up at 3ish and feed them then put them back to bed.

There have been a few times over the last couple of days where I had to do a bait and switch. I'd use the paci to calm him down, get him in position, and then quickly swap out the paci for the boob.
