redandblue, my oldest SS is turning 13 this weekend. His room is in the basement. Starting to wonder at what point we stop allowing girls down there.
hiimjamie, good luck to your SIL, whatever she decides.
Add me to list of those annoyed with their DH. All the little things are driving me nuts, too. He'll dump all the clean laundry on the bed, fold two or three things, get distracted, and leave the rest for me. Not a huge thing, but still annoying.
My first pp period has been going on for over a week now. It's just a slow trickle, but I wish it would be done already. Gotta feed T and get back to work. Been super busy lately, but wanted to pop in and say hi.

I'm reviewing resumes. A note to those who maybe looking for a job: don't start your cover letter with "Dear Whomever." How hard is it to type in the companies name? I have two like that. Clearly the letters and resumes were written by the same person.
Happy Tuesday ladies. redandblue I can't even imagine infant drama + teenage drama Must make for some interesting stories!!
hiimjamie 63 hours??? Hope that baby arrived soon.
Day 2 trapped under a sick baby. I told H to get his butt home early because I need a break so he's coming home around 2 so I can actually shower and eat something other than cereal or granola bars. Watching all the TV in the meantime since L just wants to nurse and sleep on me
I forgot to mention this yesterday! I was leaving work looking like a pack mule as usual with my bags and I got in the elevator with 1 other guy. He said "my goodness, how many bags do you have there?" And I was straight up with him. "Oh this is my lunch box, this is my purse and this giant bag is my pump. I have to pump 3 times a day, because I breastfeed." He didn't bat an eye and went on to ask about Jake and tell me about his 19 month old. I thought that was pretty awesome.

I had the strangest dream. It involved people giving birth to giant rats. Like huge. Bigger than a house cat. They had massive amounts of hair on their backs and heads. They had long tails. Again humans were birthing these giant rats. And in the dream I was pregnant and made friends with another pregnant lady who had one of these rats and she listed me as godmother. If I didn't have my period right now if be running to the nearest store and peeing on a stick. Lol

so basically what you're saying is you dreamed about R.O.U S.S (Please tell me you've seen The Princess Bride.....)
So I don't know who all believes jn this stuff but my mom went to see a medium yesterday. Backstory: she had a rough childhood with a brother with md, and father who passed away from cancer when I was like 13. Then my dad passed away from ALS 8 years ago. My sister is a mooching manipulative bitch at 19 years old. So my mom has been through a lot.
Things I can take away from her session: apparently my dad picked out e and sent him to us. And my sister and I need to be careful with our birth control bc there is a little girl wanting to come through too apparently.
I don't know if I believe that people have these kinds of powers but the session seemed to help my mom a bit and it's kinda comforting to think my dad had influence over e.

I haven't *ducks for cover*
My google search tells me that they are similar except smaller and no hair on the stomach

Morning, I haven't read any randoms yet today, but I have a very important question... What app do people use to get bigger pictures on Instagram? Like rectangles instead of the standard square? Lol.
I'm back! We went to Vegas for DH to compete in the World's Toughest Mudder. This year he got 35 miles before he was DQ'd for hypothermia. Last year he got 50 and no DQ so he was disappointed.
Yesterday when we were driving back we ran into a full on blizzard stopped at a gas station for about an hour until it cleared and finally made it home around 1am. I am worn out!
runningmommy519, for shame!! You need to stop what you are doing and watch it. it's a classic.
Dammit @greengirl09, I'm glad you aren't KTFU again but I missed out on the anticipation while I was out. I need a do over. Someone needs to worry that they are pregnant so I can experience this.

Instagram does it now. Just press the little icon on the image at the bottom left. But if you want a white border and a rectangular image, I use afterlight.
This whole burping the baby while rocking them back and forth thing, tell me more about it. Do the legs stay in place and you rock the top part of the body? Like bend her forward? I've been trying it since a few people posted on here about it but haven't gotten any burps so I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.
@aliam20, hope he feels better soon! Croup is so scary. hiimjamie, I hope your SIL progresses, she must be exhausted. noname, I thought I was the only one trying to burp that way after reading about it on here and just not getting it. But someone (I think motownthrowdown) also posted about just rubbing their back and slowly moving up to their shoulder blades and that works so well for A! Much better than patting.
Babygroup was good yesterday - A showed off her new toy grabbing skills. She also took 2 bottles with minimal fuss so my stress level relating to her starving herself when I go back to work has gone down. Today we're going to visit a coworker who had her baby in September. Can't wait to meet her little girl!

ars093s yeah that was me. And I'll lean her forward sometimes too, if I can tell she needs a little help. Take your dominant hand and spread your fingers wide. You want to use your thumb and forefinger to support close to the neck and have the rest of your hand on their chest. You can lean them forward pretty far and still have them will supported. Careful not to go too forward or they'll puke lol.
Jake slept from 10pm to 5am as he normally does but the damn cat woke me up 4 times. Then he got locked in the bathroom. With a littler box, food and water of course. Grumble. Jake has quite the cough. It really only started yesterday so we'll see how it sounds tomorrow. No fever.
SIL induction update. 63 hours in. 1cm, soft cervix. She's doing her 3rd day of pitocin. How long are they going to let this go on??? She needs to deliver before 38 weeks bc of the hypertension and chlostesis but that's Friday. Will they really keep doing this until Friday??? My brother told me this morning that she "flips out" when she they check her cervix so they hadn't had one since 5pm. She finally let them check at 8am. What!
They will probably let her go as long as she and baby are healthy and tolerating things. I know when I was induced they would have let me labor as long as I wanted since DS1 and I were doing fine (but we ended up opting for a c-section). I hope she delivers soon.
This. If it's fine til 38 weeks it isn't imperative she deliver. I would much rather go through days of induction than a c section. If it were me and all was healthy I would go home and try again later....
@aliam20 I hope you guys get some rest today and your little guy gets better fast!
hiimjamie you should tell the people inn Facebook that they can give their opinions on your SIL's labor when they've been at it as long as she has. FX for progress for her.
runningmommy519 I'm seriously shocked. You need to watch it right now!

I do this too. I sit her sideways on my knee and lean her forward with one hand supporting her chest and I pat her on her back with the other arm, I get a burp out every time.

SPD moms--when did you first notice issues? I think I'm looking too far into this, but I feel like A is getting over stimulated at night and maybe that's why the past 2 weeks of sleep have been so shitty. We swaddled her super tight last night, haven't swaddled in weeks.Could be growth spurt, teething, could be surgery, but she's at a higher risk of this type of thing being a Preemie. Am I overreacting?
