I've also gotten a few of those messages, (only from acquaintances so whenever I see I have a new message from them I always know where it's going) since becoming a SAHM. I find it so annoying. My H and I planned for our life to be this way, and whenever I need to start going back to work again that's not what I want to do. And quite frankly, none of your business anyway.
We lasted less than three hours before leaving and picking up LO. We mostly left because we were exhausted. It was nice to be baby free for a little bit, but I missed my baby!

I admit, I was a little bit happy when lia sophia jewelry went out of business. I knew people that sold it, and now they could end the incessant facebook peddling. However, a friend of mine sells a clothing line of cute dresses and skirts, and she's pretty tasteful about it. But then, she comes from a background in newscasting and has 2 kids and you know, tact. She never brings it up in person, and only on a separate fb page.

Woaahh WTF just happened! My starving insomniac kid finally hit the wall and actually slept! We've been getting nothing but sad little 2.5 hour stretches lately and struggling for those and shes been eating NON STOP and all of a sudden she was out from 8-3:45 and I just pumped 5oz from one boob and still going! Also, SO and I had our first pp mutually satisfying sex last night. Ive been SO FUCKING MISERABLE lately, I really needed a god damn life break. Some strange magic!
I am so, so happy for you periwinkledaydreams. I can't think of anyone more deserving than a nice stretch of sleep and a satisfying romp. Here's to more of both of those for you!
I feel like I can no longer judge people on their grammar. Being PP and never having a full night sleep because of pumping, I have found myself making so many grammatical errors and I just don't care to fix them anymore. My apologies to all I have judged in the past. (Not really ever on here, mostly fb)

+1 No sleep + typing with one hand = IDGAF. But I swear, I'm actually literate.
So I'm both sleep deprived and sick so DH is letting me stay in bed right now. He just came in to tell me he and my brother are going out for breakfast. I think the baby was wearing a pair of overalls two sizes too big with no shirt under them. I'm too tired to care that my child is going out looking like an extra from Deliverance. # whendaddressesthebaby
I've spent the past week shopping for work clothes since I don't fit into anything that I was able to wear prepregnancy. I know that part of it is that I really need to tighten up the diet and start exercising again, but it's really difficult not to be too hard on myself for not losing weight as quickly as I had wanted to.
Try not to be too hard on yourself, I think we're all right there with you. I haven't even ventured into trying on a prepregnancy pair of pants yet and honestly dont see that day coming any time soon. Im still living fully in the world of stretch pants and flowy cotton blend dresses. I don't know what Id do if I had to put real pants on every day except be forced to try on a million and one pairs. None of this is easy! I figure it took 9 months to grow my baby mama body so its not going to just poof and voila back into its old self. We'll get there!

Thanks dogmama22 Oh my gosh I never knew how amazing 4 hours of sleep could feel! I almost don't have a headache lol!
Just saw your schoolgirl crush is Joshua Jackson @jemomma. Do you watch 'The Affair' on Showtime? He's in it and it's such a good show IMO.
I asked this in another thread, but if anyone knows when I can start using the toddler seat in the Uppababy stroller, let me know. Thanks!
I know it says from 6 months, but I started using mine already. LO was bored of laying down in the bassinet and the straps for the toddler seat fit fine so I don't think it's a problem. If you don't buy the bassinet they go straight in anyway right? She quite likes it because the dip for her butt is quite like her bouncer.

I think 6 months is the appropriate age. I have read that some moms use it earlier in the fully reclined position and with extra added neck padding around the straps for support. i just used our city mini baby jogger stroller and kept it on fully reclined and she was fine in it.

I'm feeling some judgement lately by sister in law and MIL for letting DS drink juice. He basically does 1/2 water 1/2 juice. I guess it's not recommended anymore by doctors. But then my sister in law who is a doctor tells us not to and then feeds her kids cupcakes and cookies when they want them which we don't do. We only do for special occasions. I want to tell her mind your own business what my kid drinks!

Pardon my French but I'm angry as fuck. H flew home today while we're staying over 2 more weeks. I sent him back with gifts, books, keepsakes etc my family had bought for O including some artwork my 6 year old nephew made for him so I had less to bring back. Despite the fact it was a direct flight they lost his bag and have no clue where it is. Err, surely it's either one airport or the other. Eff you, Air Transat, you giant arseholes.
Oh no! Hopefully it turns up soon! I had the same thing happen once when I had a transfer, thankfully it came in a couple hours later.

I have a city mini too! We haven't tried using just the stroller yet. We ended up getting the adapter for our carseat (chicco keyfit) and I didn't want to disassemble it yet, it's just easier to snap the carseat in right now.

I bought our stroller and threw out the box before I realized they don't make a car seat adapter for our peg perego 5-35 infant car seat so the only way we can use it this early is to just have her lay flat in it. I love our city mini though. I think I like it more then our previous stroller which is a BOB.

I finally went out to try on jeans the other day. I expected and was mentally prepared to be two sizes bigger, but it ended up being three! I almost threw up, but I had to suck it up and buy them so I don't have to wear maternity pants to work.
