A treatza pizza sounds magical. The best part of a DQ ice cream cake is the middle. If it's anything like that, I'm sold. wegrowsheep your day sounds like mine yesterday. It sucks. Have the wine.

mbjune13 that's the weather we are getting here today. DD1 is on a field trip and I DNW freezing rain. It's supposed to be +digits until next week. Is this even Canada? All the warm/cold is why everyone gets constantly sick. Boo!
Get well soon purple! Today is supposed to get pretty warm, so I might walk to the grocery store with E just to get out for a bit. I also need to figure out what to do for DH's birthday on Friday. The crazy man doesn't like cake!
mh either so we did treatza pizza from DQ lol
DH hates cake so I have to get creative too. One year I did banana splits, which he loved, and last year I did chocolate covered strawberries.

It doesn't feel like Canada at all, especially in the prairies! I hope the freezing rain holds of for the field trip! At least with + temps it will hopefully melt the ice, until it all freezes into hard slush piles anyway. When hoodies are acceptable outdoor wear in January, the weather is too warm. ETA: words
+whatever to H not liking cake. He doesn't really like sweets at all, actually. Except for cookie dough cupcakes from Gigi's. I usually do something bacon-y or steak instead. He's totally thrilled with a meat dessert.
Anyone still obsessed with baby wearing? I find it to be so much easier when we're out and about, but also, the cheapie $30 Infantino carrier I bought when DS was about 11 lbs is starting to wear on my back, plus it says it has like, a 25 lb limit. I stumbled across this one on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B0195H93ZG?psc=1 I'm tempted, because it says it goes up to 45 lbs, and can be worn as a back carrier, but am I going to want to carry my 30/40 lb toddler on my back? Trying to justify the investment by telling myself I would totally use it for a second child (which I probably really would). Anyone have a Lille baby carrier? Love it? Hate it?
I've heard that a lot of people like their Lille baby carriers. I have a Beco Butterfly 2 and use it for back carries almost every day right now. E gets very happy and smiley when I put him in it and falls asleep quickly when he is due for a nap. I think it's worthwhile to have a sturdier carrier for an older baby.
Hi all. I'm super cranky this morning. Daycare is finally open again today but with limited staffing so the odds of me getting the kids in are probably slim to none. I have so much work to do. I hate when the norm is interrupted this much :/
Its weird that they opened with limited staff.. Ours emailed out yesterday to say that while everything in their lot was clear a great deal of teachers still couldn't get out of the house so they couldn't open due to staffing regulations. Here's to hoping you get to send the kids so that you can get stuff done!

jillywilly I sadly baby wear less with LO than I did with DS. But that because I 1.have a bad back and 2.found it easier to manage DS without extra weight on me. I have an Ergo, Catbird Baby Pikkolo, Maya Wrap Ring Sling, and a Mob. I LOVE my pikkolo and wish I would have had it with DS (I have narrow shoulders and it fits so much better than my ergo). I will say I occasionally wore DS in the ergo even when I was pregnant with LO. (He was 14 months when I got pregnant). DS also liked being in the carrier, LO wanted to be held but not confined so to speak. I've heard great things about the lillebaby.

I think LO gave me a preview to the wonder week about to happen. It's been like the calm before the storm the past few days and last night she was up more. FX is not that bad...but I know the 8/9/10 month regression can be sucky regardless. GL to everyone experiencing poor sleep in the coming weeks.

silv3rlining she just cut her two top teeth, I suppose there could be some others waiting in the wings, but nothing that I can see. I kind of feel like she is in a constant state of teething, though.
Anyone else have an LO who loves to spin around in circles? As in:
Ooooh please hold me up I want to stand up! Ooooh what is over there? Help me turn this way! Ooooh what is that over there? Help me turn some more! Okkkkk now let's look over there! Hi Mom! I see you again! Ooooh what is over there? Help me turn this way!
Repeat. All.day.long. And put him in a sitting position will only result in him whining until he is standing again.

Yes! She is never interested in what is in front of her. She seems to only be interested in finding out what is behind her. I have convinced myself that this is the reason why she still falls over every time she sits, even though she is well strong enough to maintain the position. She just knocks herself over constantly looking behind herself lol.

michyme123, BH seems to save up all his pee for bedtime. That kid's diaper has been near explosive in the morning, so we put him in Huggies overnights at night.
I fear I may be developing thrush symptoms... either that or my boobs are just sad from pumping.
Is baby teething? I used to think I was getting thrush when DS teethed.
I woke up with baby attached to me, biting down, in her sleep. Teethjng and BFing is awful! I def feel like I have thrush too, it isn't as intense though.

We don't have a lille but we have a Becco also (the Gemini). I like so much better than the bjorn a friend gave me. Haven't tried back yet but she like front facing ok. She just hates being cooped up so we are baby wearing a little less because she fusses to be FREE! haha
I got a BabyHawk before DD was born and LOVE it thanks to its one size fits all-ness (Ya I just said that). On top of baby growing, I'm also stuffing her in a winter suit to take her out for walks first and it just ties around whatever I need to dress her in! So very versatile for the all-weather babies Shout out to billyhorrible for selling me on it.
We have a large mirror resting on the floor behind the jolly jumper and I watched DD pull herself to standing in front of it today. As in, not having anything to pull up on, essentially just using the mirror as balance to pull herself up. Oh boy.
michyme123, we use the Target overnights for DS and they are great. I haven't used them for S yet, as we usually can just go up a size for her when it's time.
I had to take DS to the ENT for a follow up after his tubes and adenoid procedure in October. His hearing is perfect, it's just the listening skills we have to work on. He is concerned, though, with the amount he's been sick just since his procedure, so he wants us to go see an allergist/immunologist to see if there's an underlying immune deficiency that's causing more illnesses.

I don't have a LB, but they're supposed to be the most comfortable. The panel is a lot higher than the Tula, but there's apparently more of a learning curve with it.
I baby wear a lot, every day. My Tula is clipped to my waist most of the time. Back carry is nice, but I prefer a snuggly front carry. I think carriers are worth the investment. I have a woven wrap as well, which is very versatile, I love it. Even if you don't use it for your next baby (which you likely will) it's worth it IMO.
Follow up SQ: How hard is it to get baby into the back carry? Like, I should be able to do this when I'm on my own with him, right?
Aaaannnddd I just found out I didn't get the job I interviewed for a couple of weeks ago. Today can go ahead and be done.
I'm sorry It's cliche and stupid - but I do honestly believe that when I've missed certain opportunities in the past, that led me to something better. Hoping an even better job lands your way soon!

Also, re: husbands and cake. I honestly don't think I could have married DH if he didn't like cake. Cake is that important to me. Order of important things for my life to be complete: Family, friends, wine, oxygen, cake.
