Well, it's Wednesday...

[joi922]

Speaking of periods, why won't mine end? I went on the regular pill (not the mini pill) 5 weeks ago. Spotting started 4 days early, but fine - I figured that was just my body adjusting to being on the pill. But... it's still going, two weeks later. I might have a day with nothing, and then I have pink bleeding the next day. It's like waiting for the month of PP bleeding to end all over again. So over this.

Annoying as hell, I'm sorry. My period was like that in college on two different pills. It may be worth calling your OB/GYN and getting on a different pill. For me, Nuvaring was awesome and I only had 3 day periods.

I JUST GOT MY MOTHER FUCKING PERIOD

EBF keeps it away, my ass...

I may have actually screamed something like this on my first one. DH was like wtf is wrong with you?

Not fair.

Add me to the club

[mommabakes]

Henry had his shots on Tuesday and is not handling them well. Sleep has been rough. I have an exhaustion induced migraine coming on.

I unpacked two boxes, did a load of laundry, picked up toys, and vacuumed this morning. I'm going to wake DH up soon so I can take a nap (he is on third shift).
My ILs are coming on Saturday to spend the day with us, so I need to get the house in order. If only Henry would let me sleep longer, I could be so much more productive.


I haven't had my hair trimmed in probably a year, and i recently moved almost two hours from my hair stylist, so I'm going to have my little brothers girlfriend (beauty school student) come trim it at my house.

I decided to cancel my ipsy subscription and switch to Boxycharm. It costs twice as much, but I won't be telling my DH that... I'm excited for it.

I got my first period today. Call doc up to schedule IUD, insurance hasn't gotten back to them so it's the pill for this month. But doesn't it take 30 days to kick in?

Should this be a first world problem??

If it's the mini pill, my doc says it only takes a week to kick in.

Not the mini.

( as I typed I actually said not the mama. That's for those of you that actually know what I am referring too)

My MIL took dd for the afternoon and H and I brought ds and my sister to the movies :-)

Haha I think I saw it on Netflix or Hulu recently! I tried to watch it, but couldn't get back into it.

[ars093s]

arimaythea and joi922, hope your first day back at work is easy and goes by quickly!

@missava387, FX for your scan!

mara005, I had the nexplanon inserted today too. I'm irrationally afraid of IUDs, but the shot in the arm was NBD.

AFM, Had my OB appointment this morning. Good news is I'm healing, bad news is it will still be about 4 more weeks before I'm fully healed so I have to go back yet again in a month. I want to see the doctor in the hospital who told me "don't worry, I've never seen anyone pop their stitches" and maybe punch her in the face. Only thing that makes it better is she was too aggressive with the stitches so if I hadn't popped one, I would most likely have needed to have it cut open anyway. Really wish my regular OB wasn't on vacation when I gave birth!

Chili is in the crockpot for dinner, and ingredients for cornbread are pre-measured and ready to be mixed and baked.

Gonna just snuggle A today and maybe do some cleaning.

Well FedEx came and delivered my Honest Diapers, but no FitBit. I checked the tracking and it's in transit to be delivered today... now I'm concerned. Where the F is my watch?!

I am assuming that it would have been on the same truck, no?!

Not always. We get multiple UPS deliveries throughout the day from different trucks if we have a lot of Amazon stuff coming.. Also some gets transferred to USPS even though it says UPS.

hmm okay, that makes me hopeful then! You would think they would put it all on the same truck if it's going to the same place!?

Okay, you need to remedy that now. Lots of TV stations are showing marathons today in celebration.

Truly, it's a classic. Go watch!

[flippinchica]

I'm buying a 2nd hand jumperoo today. I can't wait till DS can use it! Also I was able to put him in the ergo without a blanket under his butt today. Yay!

Me either!!

[abvintage]

I haven't even been able to read what's going on. B went for a half day with us at daycare to get him acclimated. Chaos. I know it will be fine but seriously makes me so sad. A FT nanny is just too expensive and we want him to get social interaction. This was pretty much B's reaction to being a room with a bunch of other babies:

It is my last full day home with DD. We went anyld got the free Sam's membership, shopped at Kohl's and ate lunch with H. I need to strip DS'S bed, but am enjoying DD sleeping on me instead.

Also, I got a Beco Gemini the other day for $20 and think I like it more than my ergo.

I love my Beco. That's a great price. I wouldn't get anything done without it.

I say this all the time. But, job security.

You are assuming they come from the same place. Trust that Amazon knows exactly what they are doing.

[htuzzi324]

I know your probably tired of hearing about it but since I'm now dealing with gassy pissed off baby...
If dh or his mom come near my baby with food I'm going to be cutting off body parts.
Caught mil trying to give N a piece of ice. I lost my damn mind. Please, give him something to choke on. Wtf. Now k can't leave the baby out of my sight?
Dh may have thought the frosting was harmless but he's not the one freaking with a miserable baby. We just got all the dairy out of his system. He was happy 99% of the time. Now it's like 2% of the time. The rest he's screaming.

[motownthrowdown]

htuzzi324 is N the baby? Your MIL is deranged. Like, seriously. I don't even know of a way to talk to her and your dh about this because this should be common sense. I'm sure the baby itself is thinking, gee, I'm pretty sure I don't need icing.

I really want to knock on your door and scream "BABIES ONLY NEED MILK!" and then smack your mil right in the face.

[gingerygirl]

Tmi?
Today is the first day since giving birth that I pooped without any pain or bleeding. Yay!

I almost smacked her in the face. I smacked the ice out of her hand instead.
No one did this with the other two when they were babies. Hell I could hardly get anyone to help with baby food. Why on earth would I now be like, it's cool do whatever you want.

I'm not trying to be mean, but are there actual mental issues here? Or is she just really fucking dumb?

Oh, I know they're coming from all different places, but if they're GOING to the same place (my home), you'd think they'd come on the same truck so as not to waste fuel and manpower.

That's not how mail delivery services work.
Seriously last Christmas, got three different packages on the same day by three different ups trucks.

What is this craziness that some people haven't seen back to the future?!?!?!?
