For real Friday!

[motownthrowdown]

A just learned how to roll!!!!!! She's done it once or twice before, but now we can't do tummy time because she keeps rolling onto her back!

[layloo08]

Just looked for the first time since this morning.

Stay safe Texas friends!!

hiimjamie FUCK your company. Except your pumping room. Keep that shit!


No before picture but my hair was halfway down my back!

I just read though my posts on the day Ethan was born. I originally posted in the Randoms then made my own post. Damn that was hard.

But I'm not sure I ever thanked you all for your support through that day and the 36 days after. Reading through those posts was hard but the amount of support i received that day was amazing. So thanks!

Poor DD had to get a flu shot today. They didn't have the nasal version. They said they wouldn't have it until after thanksgiving at the earliest. She did really well and held still for them.

I think E gave me whatever stomach bug she had this week. Ugh!

[shannonabigail]

Had to buy my baby girl pants for his Halloween costume. At this age you can't tell the difference and there were no plain yellow boy pants. There are also no plain yellow onesies.

[bcmomsaysso]

lemon200 I think I've got one too. Feel better!

motownthrowdown C has been trying to roll over but can only make it to her side then gets sort of stuck there. Am I mean for thinking it's cute and hilarious?

Trying to catch up... dick and butt candy for Halloween made me Lol. Then H asked what was funny, and didn't find it as amusing as I did.

To all the Houston peeps, stay dry! Hope that mess passes by quick without too much damage.

[layloo08]

Oh, N did well at daycare and I only cried three times. I dread his first full day something fierce. I was distracted today by my haircut and my best friends support. Work will not be a good distraction.

They have me closing a fuck ton. The week after next, I'm down to close all five nights I work. Fuck you, PetSmart.

[ampaints]

layloo08 that sucks! At least you'll get some morning time with, but 5 closes is wrong!

amberlie be careful driving it there.

I hope everyone in Texas is okay with the weather coming through.

The event tonight was a bust. It was being held 10 minutes from our house. Took over an hour to get to parking. We finally make it in and you can't get anywhere. It was insanely loud. I had a serious case of fuck this shit and we left. Our friends that stayed had to wait 30 minutes for the shortest food line.

On a happy note my little guy is 3 months old today!



Tuckered out from all the waiting around.

[htuzzi324]

Is it November yet? Dh has his doctors appt to fix his meds the first week.
He's completely checked out, and I'm so afraid to make it worse, I'm just not talking to him, which I know can make it worse. Ugh. Depression and anxiety suck. So bad.

[htuzzi324]

The plus side to the rain coming is my car will get a bath. I park under a tree and the pollen coming off that thing is ridiculous.

[amberlie]

I'm leaving work early. This weather is shit & I have to pick up E like 45 mins from here.

[motownthrowdown]

I'm chickening out of going to the breastfeeding group tomorrow. I'm so afraid to fail at this. And they all get to bring their giant babies with them. And whine about their horrendous births where they had to wait ten seconds to hold their babies.

Ok, it's really not that bad. But I can't take the birth stories.

[ady45]

This Royals game is exciting!

I'm sorry. That has to be hard.

How long is the meeting? Go for part of it. Make yourself go for 20 min. If after 20 min you want to leave then leave.

This! Dammit motownthrowdown you have earned this! Screw them and their stories. This is about your success, your perseverance, your commitment, your overcoming every freaking obstacle in the book. This is about you. We will be there supporting you in spirit. We are too proud of you for words!

Starting A on rice cereal this weekend. Btdt moms, any favorite brands? Things to avoid?

Haven't caught up, but we skipped rice and did oatmeal and we liked the earth's best brand.

Prayers for those facing a hurricane.

I'm feeling huge guilt. I had 2 beers and DD wasn't taking a bottle. I gave her a 5 min breastfeed anyway. Aye. I hope I haven't ruined her.

Common sense tells me i'd tell anyone else 2 beers once is NBD, but I still feel awful.

Deep breath. You're fine. Were you black out dunk? No. Could you drive if you needed to? Then your milk is fine. No guilt.

It's NBD.

DH and I went out to lunch with Littlest and DH got a really good beer through a recommendation from our server. I really wanted my own but knew I would need to nurse at some point and didn't want the judgement.

I also took a pregnancy test the other day. I had a metal taste in my mouth and had a "I've only had that happen when I was pregnant" moment. It was negative. Thank goodness.

We didn't do any cereals. We were actually worried it could hinder weight gain if baby ended up taking less breast milk with it

If you still need a plain yellow onesie Hobby Lobby had them in the wearable art section.

motownthrowdown I don't know if this was recommended or if the box says it but we always used breast milk to make the oatmeal instead of water also. Helped having that familiar flavor for my dd.

We did this. I used breastmilk in all of the puréed foods that I made.

[aracale]

The problem with having my inlaws here is that I don't catch up on here until the motn/next morning.
motownthrowdown - The meeting has probably already happened of you're on the east coast, but I agree that you should go. You rock awesome and deserve a chance to celebrate that!
Stay dry Texas people!
