We tried on J's Halloween costume last night... it's HUGE! That's what I get for ordering it from amazon and trusting that infant size would fit her. When it came the package said 6-12mo, so it's no big surprise. I hope my mom can use her Nana skills to make it better.
I was going to say something else, but who knows what it was.
In my half dazed just waking up this morning state, I thought it was already Saturday. Always an indicator of a good day when I actually have one more work day than expected.
I'm excited to have a normal weekend this weekend. We usually go out to eat breakfast Saturday morning then go grocery shopping afterwards but the last two weekends I couldn't go because someone had to stay home with LO. Little things like that keep me happy and sane.
I'm going to a baby wearing class this morning (free!) and then we don't really have plans. I might make some cinnamon oatmeal cookies with my niece today.
I lost lo's favorite lovey somewhere and of course Vera Bradley discontinued it.
My hairy baby did NOT sleep well last night. I am falling asleep while pumping at my desk. At least Fridays are half days for me. We're having our 3 best friends come over tonight. I'm still going to bed at 9pm because so damn tired. I would love to nap this afternoon but O's long naps are typically in the morning so I miss them. Tomorrow is probably pumpkin patch (again!) with BFF and O. Sunday is laundry and football?
Oh, my throat is swollen and sore. Awesome. Dear body-let's fight off all the sickness this year. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Eta-my mom just texted me to say O only ate 2 bottles yesterday. No wonder he was up three times last night. Why the hell didn't she mention that YESTERDAY?!
Stupid question Friday--Does anyone have one person drop off at daycare and another pick up? We probably won't do daycare until next year some time, but I was wondering about the car seat situation. Can you just leave it there so whoever picks up has it? Does everyone need their own?
We only have one convertible seat for DS, and we leave it at DC for whoever is picking up. It's heavy, but manageable. I did tell DH we need to get more, because eventually DD is going to be in one and I am not carrying two of those back and forth from the car to DC.
I am so flipping tired....my infant is sleeping through the night and my almost 3 year old is not. We had a massive meltdown at like 2am because I wouldn't let him in bed with us. He's been sleeping on our floor in our room since he started boycotting his bed for some reason. Now, the floor is not good enough, but he won't go to his room. We need to get him a twin sized bed and give that a shot. I think he was just getting uncomfortable in the toddler bed.

jessila up 3x/night is considered a great night for us! Count your blessings (I say this coming from a person who's 1st kid only woke 1-2x/night and didn't believe other moms when they said how many times their kid woke at night. I was naive and fooled by the "trick" baby)
A good friend of mine had a baby back in May and was born with a fused soft spot, so he is having cranio vault expansion surgery today. So all my thoughts are there today waiting to hear from them. It will be a pretty day and I don't imagine I'll hear from her for awhile. So if you spare any good thoughts!!

I was wondering at what point we'll have to make the switch from toddler to twin (or full/double whatever we go with). We put D'S in a toddler bed at 19.5 months, he turned 2 at the end of July. We were given a toddler bed fr I'm a friend but our crib converts to toddler bed and full bed. Maybe if it's timed right well just put LO in the toddler bed when DS is ready to move up....hmm.
I just looked at DH's Amazon wish list and it is the most random assortment of things I have ever seen. Including: a gun holster, Short Circuit on BluRay, an electric toothbrush, bluetooth headphones, and an Xbox One.
All I have on my list is adult coloring books. Clearly I need to step up my game.
I'm impressed your H has an Amazon wish list. I wish DH had one; he is impossible to shop for.

If it is the bunny lovely and you want to replace it, try burlington coat factory. They had a ton in two different color patterns last time I was there.

My DD has been refusing to sleep in her twin bed in her room for a while, but in our case we think it is because we still let LO sleep in the room with us, so she wants to be there too. Really I should be doing the supernanny method, but I just don't have the patience for it right now. She has also been refusing to eat meals at daycare and at home fairly frequently lately, and for us that is a bigger problem.

I was SO close to supernannying him lastnight, but I was afraid of him waking the baby...who was sound asleep...in her bed. I just want my room back!!!

@jemomma Do pumkpin patch anyway and have a "get dirty" contest. Then wipe them off, put clean clothes on them, and maybe they'll be asleep when you get home! If not, bath time is a good time killer
The car seat group on Facebook always recommends the Cosco Scenera NEXT as a good affordable convertible. It's only $45 at WalMart. We'll probably buy nice ones for each of our cars and have that as a backup/ in my mom's car. I've also heard that BBB will have a trade in event in January, so I'll probably be on the lookout for a cheap, old seat for sale that I can trade in for one of our nice seats. We already have one NextFit, but I'd like the Zip for my car since he'll use it the most.
I have another clog. Ugh. It's her favorite side to nurse on, too, so I'm not sure how she hasn't worked it out.
I SO feel for you...I seem to be getting about 1/wk with pumping at work, and it's always on her LEAST favorite side so it's super frustrating to get her to work it out:( FX yours resolves quickly!!

He was a pretty crap sleeper until he was 12 weeks old. We were up 4-7 times per night every night. He's gone down to two times really but one of them is usually around when I get up for work so I've only had to get up once a night. This was really up 4 times last night and three of them were when I was sleeping. It was just not the normal I've become accustomed to and threw me for a loop.
He sleeps only in his swing, on a person, or in the car right now. I reclined his swing last night and he sounded pretty congested each time he got up. I plopped him in his crib while I returned the swing to the previous position, he screamed and couldn't breathe through his nose. Hoping it's just the crazy weather changes and not him getting sick.

The BBB trade in was such a disappointment for me! You get 20% off an item when you bring an expired car seat but for all the seats I was interested in their prices were more than 20% higher than Amazon or the items were on "sale" (which made them the same price as Amazon) and you couldn't use the 20% off on sale items. It ended up being a wasted effort for me and I just bought ours on Amazon.

I just ordered one on Amazon but I'm going to stop by there, too! Thanks!

yes we do! Dh doesn't have a set time to be in to work but I do. Traffic is hell in the AM so he does drop off. I changed my hours to 7:30-4:30 so I can beat some of the afternoon crap and get to her by about 5:10. he usually gets caught up with things at the end of the day and loses track of time so this just works out best for us. If he happens to get out early though he will stop and get her. It's like 2 minutes from our development and on the way in to go home so it's an easy stop.
ETA: we each have a base in our car and we leave the seat at daycare for each other now. When it's time to trade up, we already have one convertible seat sitting in her closet because my husband's company offers a discounted seat to people having children and one of the options was either an infant seat (which we had already) or a convertible. We went for the Graco convertible for $20, SCORE! We will just pick up a 2nd one when the time comes for the 2nd car.

- my mom is coming today! I am so excited! -my house was cleaned this morning! I can't wait to go home and check it out! -pizza for dinner! Yay!
This was going to be my FFFC: DH and I have still not DTD since before B was born. We tried once in the shower but he is tall and I am short and the angle was not helping. I think we are both so freaking exhausted that sex just doesn't sound great right now. I miss having a physical connection with him though. We need to make it a mission this week
So I ordered stuff off Amazon and clearly I didn't pay attention to the delivery date. I waited in today for nothing. Boo. I wanted my highchair
This is like thing #6 in the last week that makes me believe my memory is going. Anyone else having issues remembering basic stuff since baby?
What high chair did you order? I'm not loving mine, and it's already an exchange from the first one we registered for. Boo. I like to exchange things too much.
So while lurking on Parenting, I realized that someone that used to go here now only goes there and I thought 2 things:
1. I'm glad she's there because I always thought she was kind of a complainer/attention seeker.
2. I wonder if any of the GBCBers ever lurk and see what we're up to. Like, hey demanda. Hey littlebee. How'd your closet full of newborn clothes turn out for you?
