Man (or SO) Crush Monday Spam

[missys]

Spam here! Bonus GTKY: what about your man/SO made you crush on him?

[missys]

It's 430 am and O was just up screaming bloody murder from teething. Seeing him pull at his mouth and just cry breaks my heart and makes me pray for the tylenol to kick in faster. The pedi says once he's 6 months we can do motrin. Why is 6 months the magic age?

GTKY- met my husband working at a day camp for kids. He was in charge of 1st graders (swoon!). First time I saw him I got a crush because of his amazing blue eyes and soccer body. Soccer players just look so good to me!

[toadandbuggie]

missys, IDK about the 6 month thing. It's like everything that was taboo before is suddenly okay.

Not much going on here today. Probably will try to get my menu planning back on track and go food shopping. H is home today so hopefully I can get to the store without LO.

GTKY- At first I thought it was a Man Crush Monday for a celebrity and I was like "oo!" HAH am I terrible or what? My SO makes me crush on him because he's such a classic gentleman and I adore that. Also, he has a great sense of humor.

@missys I guess it's just that cut off age where they know 95% (or whatever) of babies won't have many risks from taking the product, but really annoying when you're so closed to that 6 month cut off and waiting!!!

GTKY: I actually wasn't particularly attracted to DH when I first met him. To be honest I was just so sick of guys playing around and putting the moves on trying to get a one night stand that I fell for how we could just talk like normal, polite adults all night. He's an attractive man, but it wasn't a particular thing that I noticed

Hi! I was away all weekend at a bachelorette party so I'm trying to catch up on everything. I had so much fun but man did I realize how old I am!! We went to a bunch of bars and I was in awe of how young all the kids there seemed. I am so glad I am not that young now because I never ever could have pulled off the outfits girls in their young twenties wear now! No real spam here today, just need to get back into my walking challenge and hit the grocery store. I was woken up by dd screaming with her leg stuck in the crib slats so I'm hoping our day improves.

Spam here! Bonus GTKY: what about your man/SO made you crush on him? He was a gentleman and brought me flowers every time we saw each other for the first year. And he's hot so there's that too.

Morning. We are home from the great tour of Texas. We are exhausted. H is currently offline getting the dogs and I am preparing to head to the store when he gets back. My bff arrives at nook today so I have a bit to do before she arrives. Were is my caffeine iv?

[dreemkin]

I think LO might have a tooth juuust coming up from the surface but not sure. My DH is taking her to her 6mon appointment since I was scheduled to work today (he's so good with the girls!). I'm anxious to see how much she's grown and all that. Also, we've noticed a lump under one of her nipples and I'm a little worried about what that might be. Hopefully I'll get some answers today.

GTKY: I was originally attracted to his good looks (from pictures) but when we met he was a bit sarcastic for my liking and I thought it might not work out. But then I got to see how kind and smart and fun he was and I couldn't be happier!

I've put off bra shopping since DS was born, waiting on my supply to even out. I think it's safe to say it's time to bite the bullet and get it over with. I used a sizing calculator online last night and it said based on my measurements that I should be in a 32F. Do you know what size I've been wearing....a 36C. I don't even know where to buy bras that size. I would prefer not to have to order them. Any suggestions? Also bra shopping with a 6month old in tow is gonna suck.

GTKY: I actually didn't like H at all when we first met. It wasn't until a year later that he started messaging me on FB that I realized how funny he was. Also he got major points from this country girl for being able to play the fiddle and banjo.

What a weekend and it's still not over since it's a holiday here. We went to visit my parents yesterday, 2 hour drive. We got stuck in traffic a few times then DD1 puked in the car. We had to take her out and change her on the side of the highway. Ugh

On our way home yesterday we stopped at my IL's to celebrate a couple of bday parties. LO was a disaster and started a fever. She woke me up 6 times last night and still has a high fever this morning.

I'm so tired!

[toadandbuggie]

mishka29, sounds awful. I hope LO feels better.

[mrsclark731]

hollydfromtn, bra shopping is on my list this week. The sports bras I've been wearing since after birth aren't really doing it anymore. I was thinking of going to Nordstrom and being sized when I had the time. But for now, I was going to measure and try to order one online somewhere. What size calculator did you use?

I don't want to jinx myself.... But last night was night 3 of STTN. It is glorious to not be a sleep deprived zombie. I'm sure she'll start teething soon and this will all be over.

GTKY--his height (he's 6'3 I'm 6'), blue eyes, and confidence. There is a thin line between cocky and confident and he straddles it perfectly. Also, he was an excellent kisser and gave me butterflies the first time we kissed. I literally was weak in my knees.... I knew he was going to be trouble after that

[mishka29]

GTKY: the first time we met I thought he was creepy bc he was walking right behind me at night during a snow storm. Lol. We later met again during a class and connected right away.

Good luck at your appointment. I hope the lump isn't anything, keep us posted.

Loving all these tall ladies on here! I am 5'11 so I feel the pain of finding a tall man. Dh is 6ft so we are really close but I don't mind.

I used this reddit article www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/wiki/beginners_guide

[mrsclark731]

I f'ing love reddit. Thank you!

Good morning. Two straight STTN's from DD. Holy cow! Well, I am not getting my hopes up. But if she keeps this up, I am going to need to make some adjustments to my pumping/feeding schedule.

GTYK: His sense of humor. I've always had a "thing" for funny Jewish guys (actors, comedians, etc) and he pretty much fit my "type" to a T when I met him. I just fell in love pretty quickly.

[lilyelayne]

Sending coffee to all the sleepy moms!

hollydfromtn bring an extra set of breast pads to put in bras you try on. Even if you don't leak much anymore, better safe than sorry. Also my at home measurements weren't the same as the lady who did it at the store, and I'm comfortable in my storebought bras, so maybe get measured too?

Thanks. I wouldn't have thought about the extra breast pads. I'm so glad you mentioned that. Sadly, I don't think there's anywhere to be measured without having to drive 45 mins. I'm going to see how my search today goes and then I may be expanding my search area.

[mishka29]

Annnnd now I got my period back. Unfair!

[lotsofdotts]

dreemkin, Keep us updated. Hopefully it is nothing.

mishka29, Sorry, girl. I hope LO feels better soon and you get a nap.

No real spam today. We were planning to go to school and work today, but we overslept. I guess that will happen tomorrow. I have to go pick up the boy from football practice soon and then I will continue to clean and organize the house. I am determined to get it all done before we go back to school.

GTKY: I was friends with DH for years before we started dating. We were coworkers and I had no interest in him at all. He is 5 years younger than I am, so when we met, he was 22 and I was a 27 yo mom of 2 going through a divorce. We were in totally different places in life. Fast forward 6 years and I started to realize that he was one of my best friends and an amazing man. He treats me like a queen. I was lucky to snag him.

[WittyLittle]

mishka29, I'm so sorry. For everything :S I hope things get much better very very quickly! Periods should be forgiven for moms with kids under (say) 2!

I'm in a local Facebook resale group. Sometimes I see good stuff and sometimes it's hilarious shit.

Someone is selling their paintings from those wine and paint nights. No honey, no one wants your shitty Eiffel Tower painting.

hahaha someone once offered a used toilet brush on one of the groups in in. GROSSSSSSSSSSS!

Those groups are pure entertainment. People will try and sell anything. I'm about to be one of them because I need to get rid of the shit we have accumulated. How do we end up with so much stuff? 

Side note: DH and I combined two 2000 sf homes last January. We have way too much shit and have never really cleaned out the excess. I'm hoping someone will want our junk because I have to get rid of lots of it to save my sanity. Also, I did one of those wine and paint nights. My painting is in the toilet room of the master bath because it is so lovely it belongs in the shitter.

[lilyelayne]

My hallway is decorated with wine & paint paintings because for a year SILs and I went once a month for our girls' night out. I probably have 15 of those things. I just rotate them out.

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin let us know about the appointment!
mishka29 hope you & LO feel better soon!

[lilyelayne]

Today is for recovering from our weekend away & planning/preparing for our trip to California at the end of the week.

Gtky: DH's confidence. Also he's a really smooth talker & detail oriented, so he's good at flirting & making you feel like you're the absolute center of his attention.

[mrsclark731]

GeekBeagle -- we just scored two more tickets for the Ohio State game in my section at face value. You want to come to Jersey?

We really bought them to make $$. I did point out to H that he is inviting more OSU fans into our section. He swears he is going to make sure they are Rutgers fans (yeah right).

[cougarette]

Hellllooooo! Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I told DH that I'm going to borrow a page from SIL's book and not talk about mil for the entire month of August. I don't know why I let her impact my emotions. She's not worth it.

We were going to stay with them at their mtn house over labor day weekend, but 1. DH doesn't want us all together for that long and 2. It sounds like it'll be crowded with his aunts coming too. SO we are now looking at staying in the Yadkin Valley and visiting those wineries. My parents are coming with us and it should be a lot more fun and significantly less stressful.
