motownthrowdown do they not understand that while she was in the NICU it was basically like she wasn't "born" yet? I mean seriously. I imagine you have already explained the corrected age thing more than once. It's not rocket science.
They told us two years with DS1. Never said anything with DS2 probably because we've been though it before.
hiimjamie you are a badass for doing a road trip with J. It sucks you've had to do so much driving and I hope you can relax when you get home. I'm with you on the cosleeping thing...it freaks me out. I know tons of people do it successfully, including my best friend, but I wouldn't be able to sleep. I hope you can talk to your wife about it if it happens again. DH hates it when I even nurse side-lying and reminds me every time to not fall asleep.
He's been so awesome. We're so lucky to have such a chill baby. I plan on spending the rest of my maternity leave on the couch watching Netflix and ordering weekly grocery delivery from an app on my phone. Pure bliss.
I'm always worried that I'll fall asleep nursing and slump over and smother J to death with my boob. Sigh. Parenting is terrifying. I talked to Wife and she said she was awake the whole time.... yeah ok...

I could never do Co sleeping. Although technically when we sleep with her in the recliner, that's Co sleeping. So I guess never in the bed.
Also, I must get this grocery shopping app. Details? Since we can't take her with us, we have to schedule shopping like it's an appointment. And I really need to check out amazon prime pantry.
My baby just gave my sister a real full face smile and I'm irrationally jealous because he hasn't smiled at me like that yet.
I had to go upstairs and pump to get away from mil. She's trying to feed A and I'm feeling incredibly jealous that she is even holding her. And im also annoyed because mil is cradling her instead of sitting her up. I gave dh The Look and went upstairs. He can handle it nicely, instead of me just exploding "HOLD HER UPRIGHT! I'VE TOLD YOU THREE TIMES AND YOU'VE SEEN IT AT LEAST FIVE! EFFING SON OF A BITCH!"
So instead of nursing to sleep like usual, I played with E last night and worked all of the gas out of her tummy. Then I let my SO rock/bounce her to sleep since she will only cry until I nurse her again when it's me. She slept 4 hours straight. Then I fed her, helped her gas issues, and let him put her down again. 4 more hours. Miracle.
Hoping this is normal...since my parents left and I've been on my own, I've been experiencing pelvic pain. Nothing severe and it's only when I walk. No additional bleeding and it really feels like a muscle/skeletal thing...it doesn't feel like cramps. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm 3w pp. I had a lot of pelvic bone pain during pregnancy so not sure if my pelvis is just righting itself. I just wanted to ask before I called the doc tomorrow in case this is routine...thanks ladies!
The whining might kill me today. ugh. It's okay 917am.
X2 Last night they went to bed at 730 because I was about to go out of my mind. Stopped to get a coffee at my favorite gas station (sheetz for those of you that know what I'm talking about) and every two seconds "can we go now?" "Why is it taking so long?"" I want to go to the park." We were in there for maybe 2 minutes.

We use Shipt here, but it's only available in certain cities. Basically, you pick out what you want, someone goes shopping for you and delivers the groceries. Pretty awesome. It's $14.99/month or $99/year. Pea Pod is also a popular services. We used that a few times when we lived in Connecticut. I think they're more widespread.

Cora smiles at her dad ALL THE TIME. Like the second he holds her she starts big gummy-smiling at him. Meanwhile I take care of her 24/7 (he works a lot, I stay home) and have to basically stand on my head, singing show tunes, while juggling teddy bears with my feet to get that big of a smile. Ok, not quite that extreme but you get the idea

Doing tummy time has helped DS's gas (and poops)... Tremendously. We only just started on the floor, legs kicking active tummy time. Up till now, we were only doing chest to chest tummy time which is good for strengthening the neck and back, doesn't help digestion as much. He didn't like it at the start, but if he gets fussy I calm him with a paci and then continue tummy time.
We found a nanny!! I'm so excited. This girl is really flipping awesome. She even asked me if I had a Moby wrap during the interview because she likes to wear babies. The kids were really comfortable around her, she interacted so well with Isaac, and all of her references were solid. I'm so glad she accepted our offer.

I had a lot of pain in my left side pelvic bone. My OB said it was my SI joint out of place. Same thing as when I was pregnant, my SI joint was out of alignment. I need to go back to the chiropractor, they helped a lot when I was pregnant. My OB said it should fix itself within 3 months or so but that's soooo faaar away. Going back for an adjustment this week.

Every year at the end of September my grandma, who lives in Utah, comes to Virginia for one weekend. So today my entire family is gathering together because grandma is here. When I say entire family,I mean the ENTIRE family. There's me and my siblings minus little brother (5), our kids (7), our cousins (4) and their kids (13), plus two aunts and an uncle. So many people and sooooo many kids!! We're on our way there right now. This will be the first time baby J gets to meet his great grandma (:
Pretty sure it's satire. Look at her other articles, she has one where she said she's suing a man for rape for saving her life when she drowned bc he touched her. Lol. All of her articles are like that.
So I put on a 6 month bodysuit, same brand as the others E's been wearing, and this one is huge lol. I finally figured her out. She's extremely long in the torso and has really short, stubby legs. Just like me. Sorry baby girl. I wear petite pants and they're still too long on me by about an inch. And I have to wear long shirts bc normal shirts are always too short on me. Looks like she's taking after me. I'm so sorry. Lol.

I feel this kind of pain too. Keep thinking I should go to the chiropractor, but haven't yet.

My daughter asks to watch Macklemore's "Downtown" multiple times a day by name. I let her watch the version with all the swears. Not sure if that makes me a cool Mom or a horrible one... oh well!

Our local garden-nursery center had a fall festival today so I stopped by with the kids after church. C slept through it, but the other kids thought it was neat (and it was free- mommy bonus!)
Now just waiting for H to get home so I can go grocery shopping.

It was so weird to be out of the house with dh. This hasn't happened since July.
In other news, the second we got back home, mil ran over to the swing where A was sleeping and scooped her up. I feel like she did this so that she could hold her some more, and I'm having a really hard time not going over there and taking A out of her arms. I'm pretty sure this is me having some possession issues, so I went upstairs to cry a little and pump.
motownthrowdown I totally have possessive issues with M. It's worse depending on the person, MIL is at the top of the list. With the crap you've put up with from your ILs and your mom I can't blame you in the least.
