Also I got to hold my friends baby today. He was less than 24 hours old and the tiniest peanut. I seriously wanted to cry because C is so big now in comparison. I also came to 2 realizations: 1 I'm not ready for baby 2 yet and 2. I want a baby 2. My DH is in trouble.
Well if anyone is ever in Pittsburgh, I'm totally all in for a play date at the zoo or children's museum!
+1 for that!
Also erbear we also got passes for everything for Christmas and I'm always looking for someone to go with! I hate being at home all day so I'm always out and about!
WE have passes to everything, too! Clearly we need to discuss this further, haha.
Thank you guys so much; I really feel so much better. Hugs to you all.
carolyngrace, he's too much, I can't stand the cuteness!
I still watch greys and still have found it entertaining every season. Ha, I'm easy to please I guess. The only season I did not like was izzys last season. That one was a bust. Cannot watch scandal though after the 2nd season. Too much repetition for that one.
I have an infantino flip advanced, and a boba air. I was trying it with the boba today. I'm able to get him on my back with the superman, just not able to pull the carrier over him. Idk. Will try again tomorrow.
Ok, so to be perfectly fair, I do think that SSCs are more difficult to do a back carry in. At least for me personally. So it's not just you.
billyhorrible +1 that daycare sounds ludicrous. I would be concerned that they just want that time to ignore the kids
+1 that's ridiculous. I would want to report it. Not sure to whom.
It would probably be the department of health. At least in NY, the DOH issues day care licenses. Unfortunately, they have much more flexibility in what the day can and cannot look like, then let's say, a special ed preschool class which requires at least 5 hours of instructional time.

@jemomma I met about 7 ladies from my old BMB from TD. One of the ladies lived about 20 mins from me and we ended up getting the kids together for a play date about once a month or so for about a year (basically until I had LO & we moved). I suspect Widget123 lives closer than that to me.
tiffbot I hope DS is ok! I'm sorry you weren't able to go with them. jessila Sending thoughts and prayers. I'm sorry the newspaper printed the story and that you were blindsided by it. I am sleeping on the cot in B's room with her because I refuse to sleep in my bed with DH tonight. I am so angry with him that I haven't said more than 5 words to him all day. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
OK, I'm seriously bummed out. DS1 is not going to be here for P's first birthday. He is going to Croatia for three weeks with his dad and grandfather for the first time and tickets are just hella cheaper in June than they are at the end of July and August, which is the only other time he could go because of our own vacation plans. It was seriously important to me that he be here for the first birthday but, when push came to shove, I just didn't feel like a party, even a big milestone like this one, justified my telling XFIL that he was going to have to spend so much more money on DS1's ticket if he really wanted to be able to take him back there. Especially since there is so much family there that he has never met and it's generous as hell that he is paying for his ticket in the first place.
But still...
I want the universe to take karmic note of the fact that I am very maturely taking the high road here and putting my child so very above my own selfishness when what I really want to do is throw a fit.
@bubbs119 I'm glad your CTJ talk helped! Hopefully it last longer this time. I wish DH would get a clue and help out even with the talk nothing changes and I'm at my wits end.
@jimbobcooter I'm sorry DS1 won't be there for P's birthday. I admire you taking the high road! I'm not sure what I would do in your shoes. I hope the universe takes notes!

Are they easier with wraps? Maybe I need a wrap. This would be a good excuse to buy one then lol.

musicfrk2002 I don't know. My gut is, yes? I just feel like it's difficult to get your arm through the strap with an SSC. I use a mei-tai, but I would think a wrap would be similar. There's no getting the arm through. You grasp the strap (or I'd imagine the end of the wrap,) and bring that over your shoulder. That creates kind of a pocket that holds the baby while you get the other strap and straighten up. I'm not sure if I'm describing it well. Let me see if I can find a good video.
@jimbobcooter, when my niece and nephew turned one my SIL threw massive hissy fit and made a bunch of people change vacation plans in order to be there because "she just couldn't imagine the babies looking back and seeing so and so not in the pictures". Then three weeks later she totally moved their party by a week because their grandparents had tickets to the local symphony and "well it's not like they'll know we didn't celebrate on their actual birthday".
(All that to say that you're definitely getting good karma vibes over there)

I've been watching a ton of videos. I'm thinking it might be the material of the boba air that's causing some of my issues, since I couldn't even get it on using a stuffed animal instead of J. I've got one or two more ways I found to try tomorrow though.
