@ninergirl523 soooooo early. So cute though about the mama! I can't wait till Liam says mama. Shit I can't wait till he says 'ma'
Re:soldier story. His mother is my client. He died this past Friday by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. He was 35. Her other son died 10 years ago in a motorcycle accident the Monday before (so literally 5 days and 10 years apart) he was 21.
littleapplemom after Liam's first diaper change in the morning I usually let him air out a bit. This morning was the first time he peed lol. Straight on the carpet though. He was standing up near the couch. So kudos for him peeing standing up??
ninergirl52, i HATE unnecessary conference calls! I was just told I should join a weekly international call at 9:30PM my time. UMMMM no. I'm sleeping then.
So anyone hear about David beckham defending his four year old daughter using a paci?
Why does everyone think their a damn expert and meddle into other people's business. I'm glad he defended it. He outright said no one has the right to criticize his (or anyone's) parenting choices.
I'm definitely quick to judge but I don't say anything out loud. I'm not in their shoes, so I don't say anything. Yes, 4 is a bit old for a paci but it's not like she's always photographed with one so I trust that his statement is true. She wasn't feeling well and the paci comforts her.
littleapplemom LO has never really had a bad rash, but if she starts to get a little red, I use Desitin and it clears up back to normal right away.
jjh1119 Shoes already! I guess I'm lucky that LO isn't even close to walking yet, because her feet are too puffy on top for shoes! I've never been able to find a pair that fits over her chunky feet.
nerdalert I only have one pair of shoes that fit little man. He's got chubby feet and I swear to god his big toe is like the size of my thumb (hah not really but it's huge).
I think we've been judged for using the paci at all. I do not care. It has been soothing for me and baby both. I might secretly side-eye someone else's parenting choices, but I would never make them feel bad about it. Yep, I looked at you lady who nursed your 5-year-old kid, but if it's working for you, okay then.
Exactly this. Some parenting choices are NMS, but if it's something that doesn't affect me and isn't harmful, then I don't care. You do you.
zengal, a friend of mine nursed her LO til 4. totally side eyed, but for a variety of reasons. one i'm a judgemental asshole*, two she complained about it the entire time. and i kept my mouth shut and was supportive the whole time.

You guys had busy day here.
Work is keeping me busy. I'm always amazed by how much paperwork comes in at the beginning of the school year. This year seems to be going really well and I'm so excited about it.
Re parenting choices. I might judge with my husband or mom but I prefer not to be vocal about. It. I always worry that I would have a huge opinion about something and then do the opposite because that works best for LO.
Little man doesn't take a paci. There was a good solid month around 2 months where he loves his wubanub but it never stuck. Not for lack of trying on my part because sometimes this kid needs something. But I learned his little security blanket is what leads him to suck his thumb so when he needs soothing I give him that and he sucks his thumb for a few minutes and then he is good. I do not judge paci usage prior to 2 years old. Anything older and that kid constantly has it in his mouth? then I might judge, but still, quietly, because I'm not them.
songbirdsinging55, that sounds delicious! I hope you can eat it too!
Waving hi from the sleepless nut house my promotion is kicking my butt with extra work and I barely see LO during the week right now. He still won't use a sippy or bottle and completely refuses a paci. So we nurse All.Night.Long. Last night he was awake every half hour and screamed any time the nipple fell out of his mouth. I'm exhausted but I think it is at least partly a teething issue, his top teeth are coming in (no bottom teeth yet??) and I think they are bugging him.
My H does triathlons and is planning on a half-iron man in September (he has done it twice previously). I asked him not to register for it this year because I wasn't sure if he would be able to train for it like he has before but he did anyway. Now I'm stressing out and trying to juggle my schedule and lo's schedule to fit in his training, I don't mind that he trains its just that the times he can do certain things like swim are super inconvenient for me. I'm feeling extra resentful about it lately and then he came home today and said "I guess I just can't do the race this year since I can't train when I want" I kind of want to yell that he has been training and I can't juggle any more at the moment... I would be ok with a chubby hubby does that make me a terrible wife?
I miss you ladies but I am trying to read along and am sending hugs to all who need them today. Off to finish up my work for the night so I can start all over at 5:30AM

Guys, it was so delicious. Seriously the best soup ever and I made it from scratch. It is a vegan recipe. I promptly passed out after for like 3 hours. DH didn't wake me lol.
Trying to link it but it is on youtube. It is called Oven Roasted Tomato Soup by Raw Vegan Not Gross. I skipped the agave because I knew I couldn't handle it. The lady who does the video has alot of great recipes but has a really sarcastic dry sense if humor lol

jjh1119-I gave Isaac some too and the smile he had was adorable. Like he very much enjoyed it. I also gave him a little grilled cheese but softened it in the soup.
songbirdsinging55 think positive thoughts. I know it's hard. But remember the mantra "today I am pregnant and I love my baby" that was the mantra on the loss board a long long time ago when I used to post there.
This is a new pregnancy. Isaac is here and this LO is in their growing and doing its thing.
Thank you so much! maybe it is the hormones but this made me well up lol. I really needed to hear that today :-). I had a mantra for Isaac when I was pg with him. It helped me so much. I also prayed alot. Maybe that is what I am missing this time around.
I've been on a posting hiatus since I've been traveling a lot; so I missed you are pregnant songbirdsinging55! Congrats! Prayers for a H&H 9 months!
I missed your post spikesmom that sounds so stressful! I agree with zengal- will it help to sort of just think each think separately and as temporary so you can breathe through it all? It's so much
