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.

We are going to the beach today. I hope LO has a good time. Last night, we went to a pretty nice restaurant. We timed our reservations so that LO would be napping. That plan went out the window and he was a little fussy. MH and I alternated taking him outside so we wouldn't ruin all the other people's experience. Under her breath, an older lady said "That's what babysitters are for." Okay, lady. I'm in a city where I don't know anyone, so I'm not leaving my kid with a stranger. I am doing you a favor by taking him outside so you don't have to hear him whimper.
Ew. No! I have yet to experience someone making a comment but that would make me so mad!

mumomma13 have fun at the beach! I understand no one likes a screaming baby but I sort of hate that culturally babies are to be seen and not heard. You didn't do wrong. He's just a baby! That lady can shove it.
We were able to get back to the beach on Saturday for a bit! G mostly slept since it was post-swim lesson.
No gym this morning. G had a rough night (5 wakeups, a move into our room, a snooze snuggled with me on a chair, and a move into the bed) and was still asleep at 8 am. A 9 am class would have been awful. We've got more swimming today, though, and he's super tired right now. At least we don't have to leave for another 20 minutes.
Ugh, the cold that DH and DS are getting over has finally hit me Sore throat, cough, headache, no fun. I really hope I can keep DD healthy.
Good news: I tried on some pre-pregnancy jeans and they fit! Yay! I still have a few lbs to lose to get to my pre-pregnancy weight, but at least I have more wardrobe options now
Also, making plans to see Magic Mike XXL on Friday morning with some girlfriends. The husbands are watching the kids and we get to watch buff men dancing. Woohoo!
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!
Yes this.
DH was complaining about giving a urine sample for a credentialing thing at work the other day. I told him that until you've tried to maneuver around the belly without peeing all over yourself, you really can't understand the challenge.
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!
Yeah I'm more just thinking out loud here and not committing to anything yet. I keep hoping he's just going to sleep through a feeding on his own but it hasn't happened yet and read something today that said you have to stop feeding them otherwise they will wake up and keep expecting to be fed. So, I'm just going to start to try to soothe him back to sleep without feeding and if he won't go back down too easily, then I'll feed.

Ladies, I will catch up on spam at some point, but I had to show you this picture and give you the run down of what is happening.
I'm not feeling well, so I crawled into our (extremely unmade) bed to try and nap while Brady was napping. My DH decided to play Skyrim while I napped so he stole the huge pink pillow from my daughter's room as a back rest. Now Brady is awake and DH isn't ready to stop playing so Brady is in him Bumbo beside DH while he plays games. So this is my view from my bed. I'm glad my husband is a grown up.

mrsclark731 oh no!!!! Laughing is the best thing to do in those situations.

Trying to catch up on spam but, my pumping time is up. We went camping Thursday-Sunday with no cell phone service. *gasp* I will try and catch up later.

So I did a search and found some discussion on this…but what kind of swim diapers do you all prefer? I hope to take DS swimming over the 4th weekend (though the weather may be crappy). I can get a pack of Huggies Little Swimmers for $5 on a Facebook B/S/T group. The recommended minimum size for those is 16 lbs. He is just over 15 lbs according to my home scale. These Charlie Banana reusables are $13 at BRU for 11-16 lbs. I can get an i play. diaper on Amazon for about $10. The sizing on there is confusing because they list so many options, but I believe it will go up to 18 lbs. I'm not sure how much we will really swim this summer, so I don't want to spend a lot of money. Any suggestions?
Posting now, reading later. I'm recovering from Annie's baptism day yesterday! The baptism went well and we had a big party at our new house afterward. So it killed two birds with one stone. I was also hosting the OOT ILs for the weekend. The party was a lot of work but it turned out nice!

GeekBeagle we use Pampers Splashers. The smallest I could find was size 3-4 and DS was wearing size 2 non-swimmy diapers when we started swimming, but had no problems. He's only pooped in them once tho so not much data to go on. We go swimming about once a week.

omg! I probably would have said something. That makes me so mad just reading it.
Okay, I need advice. DD has decided that she won't go to sleep without nursing. This includes naps, bedtime, and MOTN wakings. I've tried Paci. I've tried DH taking her. I've tried rocking. What else do I do? I did Sleepeasy (modified CIO essentially) with my first at six months, but I don't think DD is ready yet. Also, her brother is right across the hall so I try not to let her wake him up. Do I just keep doing it and hope she grows out of it or am I starting bad habits?

I second above. We got the smallest too and it worked fine. It maybe a little big but it is really just to contain it so it works.

We're in a pool at least 2x week and at the beach the same. I use reusable ones and really like them, especially because I don't generally use swim trunks over them and they're cute. If you'd certainly use the pack of disposables and that would be it, I might go with those, but if you thought you'd do more, then maybe try a reusable.
