You may think I am crazy but.........................

Does any one else ever feel like a topic killer? :oops: I don't post a whole lot but I do read a lot of the post and spend a good 3 hours a day on APA but it seems like when I do post I kill the topic and no one responds after me. :shock:

Just call me the Topic Killer! :lol: :lol: :lol: :P

[YellowRose]

I feel the same way sometimes too, Pam!

[1stgradeteach]

I think all of us have probably felt that way. Your comments are just as important as everyone else's.

Kep posting girl :wink:

[newmami]

Well Pam, now that you started this one, we are SO NOT GOING TO KILL IT!!!!

[Jai]

:) Ive felt the same way before at times. :) And NewMamis right. This thread is not going to be killed. :)

[BBKCD]

:lol:
Hey, the hotty in your siggy really turns me on....

[MarchMommy]

ill fight you for him Michael....

[HollyJo]

:lol: Pam... I think that happens to all of us at some point! Seems like I'm always chiming in just a little too late and killing the topic as well. ;)

(I sure hope somebody posts after me here so that I don't kill this one too!)

[martiniqus]

HollyJo,
I'll post... while I'm trying to complete the next mission impossible - put this child to sleep!!!

[jazzmom]

well ok...i'll post. now will *i* be the topic killer??

[YellowRose]

nope Jazzmom... I'm posting too!!!! :lol: Sure hope I don't kill the topic!!!

[Bean]

I'm not necessarily a topic killer, but my own posts seems to head to the bottom of the page fast. :D

[without]

You girls are so funny! I love reading every thing you have to say! LOL

I guess I feel like I never really have any thing profound to say! I want to help people and give good advice but can never come up with the right words! :lol:

I just love you guys!

[without]

BTW you all can't have the guy in my sig I am already married to him :lol: :P :lol: :P :lol:

[YellowRose]

:lol: :lol: :lol: That guy in your sig is funny!!!!! :lol: :lol: I chuckle every time I read a post from you!

[Jai]

BTW you all can't have the guy in my sig I am already married to him :lol: :P :lol: :P :lol:

Dangit!! ;);)

[MarchMommy]

ummm then why was he at my house last night??? :shock:

[newmami]

Well Pam... if he is your DH, you are a lucky girl!!! :lol:

[YellowRose]

LOL Claudia! I was thinkin the same thing!!!!! :wink:

[without]

I was wondering where he was last night! :lol:

Thats ok last night I had a great dream about Chris from American Idol! :oops:

[HollyJo]

Pam, you just need to keep posting so we can all drool over your hunka hunka burnin' love.

How was your dream? ;)

[without]

Ok you asked for it...

The D&K is a run down gas station and Lisa is my sister Grant is my husband now that you have that information here is my dream


OK I am at the D&K and I am not to sure what I am doing there but thats where I am and using the pay phone is Chris from American Idol. Any way we start talking and he asks me if I want to go to a party with him so I crawl in the back of this big yellow hoopty and go to a party (in the back of my mind I am thinking oh, well Grants at work). So we go to this party and Chris gets drunk and starts hitting on me. I have not been drinking and I say some thing to him about arent you married but am thinking in the back of my mind THIS is Chris who cares if he is married (funny how in your dreams your morals go right out the window). So any way he is kissing on me and has his hands all over me (and I am quite enjoying myself) when who shows up at the party but Lisa! She tells me all about how what I am doing is a sin and I need to think about his wife and yada yada ya and she suck-seeds in making me feel bad and Chris and I go into a bed room and fool around but I cant go all the way because Lisas voice is stuck in my head. So Chris falls asleep (or pass out?) in the bed and I sit up beside the bed all night just looking at him and holding his hand. Any way as the sun starts to come up the phone rings and its for me its Grants cousin and she says hay you need to start giving Grant the number to where you will be! We have been trying to get a hold of you all night. I inform her that I had given Grant my number and he must have lost it. I asked her if there was some thing wrong and she told me Grant was in jail. After he got off work he went out and got drunk and did drugs and stole a bunch of stuff from some stores and they had him in a jail somewhere. Then I got off the phone and Chris was waking up. He put his clothes on and held me for a while and we kissed some more. Then his wife pulls up in that yellow hoopty and honks her horn and Chris tells me he has to go. He goes out to the car and gets in and they drive away. I get myself together and then bam I am home (dont know how I got there?). So now I am mad at Grant for being in jail and start to feel so sorry for Morgan having a daddy who is going to be in jail but I know the best thing for her is for me to kick Grant out. Any way I spend the rest of my dream packing Grants stuff up and worrying that I wont be getting Grants next check that will have a bunch of over time on it. Then my alarm went off. I am still mad that Lisa wouldnt let me have sex with Chris. My one chance and she ruined it!

[Jai]

Woah~!! Crazy dream~! :D:D And I know what you mean about morals going out the window in dreams. I had a dream I fooled around w DHs cousin and the whole time I was thinking, "Im married, so I have to hide this" Very Strange!! :D:D

[DIVADLX]

That's too funny... sometimes I feel that way too.

Just tell yourself what you wrote or the picture you posted was so brilliant that there was nothing left to be posted!

:)

[HollyJo]

Hahah... that's wild! It's funny how in dreams you can feel guilt but you do what you want to do anyways. It's like some part of your mind just knows it's not real and let's you carry on. :P

My favorite part was when you were mad at Lisa b/c she wouldn't let you make out with Chris! :lol:

[sunshine]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[HollyJo]

This thread can't have a thread killer!...

...What's everyone doing this weekend? Anything fun?

[BBKCD]

Hey, I've gotten in trouble for yelling out another guys name in my sleep, and I don't even remember the dream!!! DH says, "who's Daniel?", and I'm like, "Huh?" Then he told me what I said, and I don't even know a Daniel...For all the trouble, I hope it was a hot and raunchy dream!

I know I'll be dreaming about delicious, over-weight, European males in Speedos doing the macarena tonight. THANKS! :wink:

[gina]

What a crazy dream! You have a great memory!

Im mostly posting to see if I might be the next post killer????? bwahaha

[BBKCD]

Nah, I'll step in line to kill it.

[Jai]

Marissa seen your siggy pic and told me I CANNOT let Peyton see that. LOL. She thought it was a bad pic. :lol: :lol: Kids, I tell ya~!~

[HollyJo]

I'll hop in the line of fire and take the bullet -- I'll kill it. :lol:

[newmami]

I don't think so Holly.... you are so not killing this one!!

Pam, your dream was hysterical!!! I wonder what it means that your DH is in jail????? :shock:

Jai, that is too funny from Marissa!!!

So, what are your big Daddy's day plans?????

[Jai]

We are going to my mom and dads on Sat to celebrate fathers day. Its supposed to be really nice/hot out. So we're BBQ'ing and swimming, and stuff like that.

Sunday we are going to spend the day at home w DH. Marissa and I went to the store and got eggs, bacon, and biscuits to make him brekfast in bed. Shes sooo excited. Now we just have to cross our fingers that he doesnt have to work Sunday morning. We'll find out when he gets home in a few.

**He works midnights but Sundays he works from 6am-2pm and them goes back in at 7pm so were hoping!!! :D:D

What is everyone else Fathers Day plans???

[YellowRose]

Not much going on here for Father's day, as of yet anyway. I plan on making Dh's favorite meal, but... he hasn't told me what that is yet! :roll: He did say something about ham, but if he wants that we'll have to go to the store! We'll see. His little brother will be here tonight too.

Pam, you're dream was hilarious!!!!

[newmami]

I am taking DH to a brunch on this restaurant that we really like, the I duuno.... I had a whole weekend planned, but my sister came to visit, so I had to make some adjustments

[MarchMommy]

where is my PEN, darnit...???

[new_mum]

*yaaawwwnnnn*


Just kidding ! You dont kill the topic! :D

[MarchMommy]

its fathers day weekend??? :shock:

just kiddin..like DH would let me forget :D

[without]

Church and dinner for us for Fathers day nothing big.

I was hopping for another good dream last night :lol: no such luck I did laundry in my sleep all night long! :evil:

[YellowRose]

I didn't have a very good night last night! :( Caleb woke up like 4 times and then we finally just brought him to bed with us at 5:00. I have no idea why he kept waking up!!! He hasn't woke up in the middle of the night like that in MONTHS!!! I don't know what was up.

[sunshine]

You all must have gotten nice Mother's Day gifts....as for me - HA!!!!!!!!!! I got nothing - not even a card... so guess what DH is getting this weekend......

YOU GUESSED IT......... NADA!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[newmami]

Debbie, I am still waiting on my Mother's Day present...... but DH did took me to a nice dinner, so that is the least he deserves!!

Na na na na boo boo.... the thread is still open, you thread killers!!! :P

[YellowRose]

Don't want to let this thread die!!!!!! What can we talk about next?!?!

[newmami]

Why don't we make this the NON SENSE post, and we just post whatever comes to our mind, even if it has nothing to do with the previous posts??

I just moved to a new office and it is so warm in here it is not even funny... ugh!!!

[DIVADLX]

OK...

Who else is surprised at the things that stink on our babies?

By bath day, Stella's feet are so stinky that I call her Stinky cheese feet.

And I am so surprised that she farts and it smells SO bad...

I guess she is her father's daughter!

[YellowRose]

Sounds fun, Claudia!!!!


LOL Jennifer (I hope I remembered your name and I'm not thinking of someone else!!!)! Caleb has some pretty stinky farts too!!!!


It is soooo hot and humid here today! Ugh! I hate the heat!!!!

[MarchMommy]

things i NEED......

~An eyebrow wax
~to exchange my modem because i keep getting kicked off line
~balance my check book
~buy diapers
~get fathers day presents
~sweep kitchen
~get some film developed

[YellowRose]

I really need to have a day all to myself and really pamper myself!!! I haven't had any alone time since Caleb was born.... 5 months!!!! :shock: I need some "me time"!!!!!!! :(

[HollyJo]

What do I need?

To go grocery shopping! I always put it off for way too long and then it turns into a HUGE trip. Ugh.

Would anyone like to volunteer as my personal grocery shopper? ;)

[MarchMommy]

i HATE going to the grocery store...its among some of the things i dread doing....

i always spend way too much and forget some important things, and usually get things we dont need....and i end up having to go back to get what i forgot and end up spending ALOT again..its a vicious cycle! :evil:

[Jai]

I HATE grocery shopping too. When just I go its easier to get JUST what I need, but if DH is there...OMG he gets like one of everything!! LOL. Now its getting hard to shop w Peyton and Marissa. I gotta hold Peyton and keep Marissa right next to me. Rough Stuff!!

[MarchMommy]

anyone watching the Stanley Cup finals?

[HollyJo]

No, but I've been to a Stanley Cup final before. Does that count?

[DIVADLX]

Close call Hollyjo... i'll save you!

Stanley cup... what's that again? Hockey? Croquet?

:)

[HollyJo]

:lol: Jennifer... you stole my thread killing thunder.

Maybe it's cricket?

[YellowRose]

Stanley cup is hockey

[Jai]

I feel like Ive been doing laundry FOREVER!!!! AHHHHHH, I sometimes just want to throw them all away and buy new. Man, to be SUPER DUPER RICH!!! LOL :lol: :lol:

[MarchMommy]

my DH did our laundry yesterday, no wonder i cant find anything and the bra i have on is a size too small.... :?

yes stanley cup is hockey and the carolina hurricanes are in the finals...im from NC

[Jai]

my DH did our laundry yesterday, no wonder i cant find anything and the bra i have on is a size too small.... :?



IM JEALOUS!!! When DH does laundry all I hear is "How much soap, what kind of fabric softener, how long do I put it on???" BUT......when he needs something specific to wrea somewhere he all of a sudden knows how to do it!!!! :x

[newmami]

Ha ha!!!! I love the nonsense!!

I need to take a nap, it was a LOOOONG weekend!! and I just need to go home, the computer at work is driving me nuts!!!
Besides that, the daycare lady took the day off, and I couldn't take the day off from work, so Danielle is napping on her stroller here in my office

UGH!!! I need a drink since 8:30 am!!!! :shock:

[MarchMommy]

i got some yummy peaches from the farmers market this weekend...yummy

[without]

OK OK

We can stop any time! :D :D :D :D


But on a side non sence note............

did you know blue cows won't mate with yellow monkeys? :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol:

[newmami]

Oh no Pam!!! you started this, and it is so not going to end!! :P

I saw one of those blue cows the other day.... she was very friendly with a pink sheep.... hmmmmm :roll:

[without]

Claudia, what scares me is when I see a purple donkey and a blue cow eyeing the pink sheep together. :oops: :P

[MarchMommy]

i thought the blue cows liked orange roosters?? :shock:

[without]

Only on Fridays! :twisted:


This is to strange! LOL

[MarchMommy]

ooo...ok, i think it WAS friday when i saw them because it was laundry day....

[newmami]

I still need that drink!!!

So.... anyone with immediate family who lives far... do you feel guilty that they cannot see your baby often?
My sister came to visit and she cried when she left... and it just makes me sooo guilty that I moved so far from them, and they cannot enjoy Danielle on constant basis

Booo hooo!!! ... where is my drink???? :cry:

[MarchMommy]

YES..MY MIL lives in Canada on the west coast (im in NC) and she says she cant come visit more often because the universe has her there doing what she needs to be doing :shock:

she cant afford it...and thats her fancy way of saying she cant come more...

she came once for two weeks right after i first had Madi

the pink sheep is in my yard....

[without]

Oh no that stupid pink sheep get it out before it tears up your yard to drink out of your septic tank! The only thing that will make it go away is an aqua marron dog with green spots. Hope you can find one!

[YellowRose]

I have an aqua marron dog with green spots!! Wanna borrow her, Chrisit?!

[DIVADLX]

I don't feel guilty but I just feel sad... and homesick all the time to share her with them. But not my MIL... I know this sounds harsh, but if we never saw her again, if it wasn't for making my husband sad, I would be the happiest woman on earth...

Stella's just so wonderful that I hate that none of my family gets to see her grow!

And as far as Blue cows and pink sheep... um, I don't know what drugs you guys are on, but everyone knows that cows are aubergine and sheep are typically a light green with ecru spots the shape of the virgin mary.

Duh.

[newmami]

Well Jennifer, maybe in Hawaii animals look different, but here in continental US, cows are blue and sheep are pink.....

[HollyJo]

I wish I was seeing the color of sheep and cows that Jennifer described because that would mean I was in Hawaii!!

It hurts to have my family so far away. I think it hurts my mom worse. Caiden is her only grandchild and she misses him constantly. I wish she could watch him grow up because she loves him so much.

Luckily we do live near my in laws so not everyone is missing out on visiting with the Caideebug.

[BubbleGum]

I wish my family lived far enough away that they couldnt infect my child with their insanity!!! As it is, it will be hard to keep her from being around them too much.

I just had to jump in because as I was reading this thread, I was picking my nose. For like, the entire 5 pages of it! I didnt find anything all that great, but I enjoyed myself.

[DIVADLX]

Hollyjo - my husband and I have a pact that if my MIL ever moved to the same state as us we'd move. Period. Even if our world is perfect, I am noy living near that crazy norwegian!

[HollyJo]

Trisha, as long as you enjoyed yourself I think that's all that matters. Better luck next time though!

Jennifer, she's that bad? Wow! Grandma's are great, it's too bad Stella got a bum one.

[shanlain]

I think the topic just gets old after a while and people move on. Like now, I am late posting and no one will probably post after me. Ce la vie...

[newmami]

Ha ha Shannon, I am posting after you just to prove you wrong!! :P

[YellowRose]

And I'm posting after Claudia just to make sure this thread doesn't die!!!

About families..... I kinda feel bad that our parents don't get too see Caleb all the time, but at the same time I enjoy the fact that they are in different states, far away! I love the privacy we have. I love the fact that they don't live close enough to be over ALL the time!!!

[MarchMommy]

I have an aqua marron dog with green spots!! Wanna borrow her, Chrisit?!
is that the same dog that bit the squirrel thats in my backyard??? :?

[without]

OK I told you all how to get pink sheep out of your yard now do any of you have a way to get a MIL out of your life?

This lady is so rude! She told me on the Sunday we had Morgan dedicated that I needed to look into having the "Lap band" surgery done to get rid of my fat. Then after that mean topic dyed down she told me I am to old to have long hair and needed to cut it! She is always ready and waiting to shoot off a mean jab at me.

On the other hand I love it that my mom is only 7 miles from my house. :lol:

[YellowRose]

I have an aqua marron dog with green spots!! Wanna borrow her, Chrisit?!
is that the same dog that bit the squirrel thats in my backyard??? :?

No, I don't think so, Christi. He's afraid of squirrels.

[without]

Christi some times a Op-tie-plex-a-moose will work but can only find them in New York and you can only use them one time. It works best if its on a full moon on a leap year. :wink:

[MarchMommy]

you know i tried that with the last leap year and it didnt work (but that year it was only a quarter moon, so that may be why)...that was the same year that the yellow bellied monkey stole my car and stole my wheels and tires off of it for his monkey kingdom.... :shock:

[without]

DARN! that yellow bellied monkey! Ya know he was a good kid until he started hanging out with that purple zebra! I guess we can't pick our monkeys friends but it sure would be nice some times.

Did they put him in Jail for taking your car?

[newmami]

Pam, can I go and slap your MIL???????

BTW, we may be going to Arkansas on August (Dh's friend wedding), not sure which part, but if we are close to were you live, can I come and meet you and Morgan, and our DH can talk about Coke???? :P

We don't have squirrels problems here... they were abducted by aliens.... :shock:

[MarchMommy]

YES THEY DID PUT HIM IN JAIL, BUT HE GAVE ALL THE INMATES FLEAS, EXCEPT ONE, AND THAT WAS HIS BOYFRIEND... :shock:

I THOUGHT THE PURPLE ZEBRA DIED AFTER THE FIREWORK INCIDENT :shock:

[without]

Now that you say that I think I remember reading about the Zebra in the paper!

I would love to see you all! Let me know where it will be!

[MarchMommy]

yes it was a sad sad event

[phillisamc]

Does any one else ever feel like a topic killer? :oops: I don't post a whole lot but I do read a lot of the post and spend a good 3 hours a day on APA but it seems like when I do post I kill the topic and no one responds after me. :shock:

Just call me the Topic Killer! :lol: :lol: :lol: :P

I feel that way too. So that is way I post her most.

[MarchMommy]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


thats my ghost impression :shock:

[DIVADLX]

Hollyjo - yes she's that bad. I mean, she's not as bad in some respects - like she doesn't grab my boob when she walks in the door, but she plays a LOT of psychological mind games and guilt trips that Stella can definately live without... It is so bad that Hubby and I have a pact that she is not to be left alone in the same room with Stella. Ever.

I can only imagine my poor little girl coming to me saying "Mama, I feel so sad. Grandma said if I don't love her enough she'll commit suicide. What's suicide?"

Yuck. No thanks.

[Jai]

Im so sorry to everyone that has evil MILs. I gotten into a few fights/arguments with my MIL (when we were living w her) but now that we each live in our own places we get along very well. Im still not completly comfortable in front of her but oh well. I actually feel kind of bad, because she almost acts like she has to be careful of what she does/says in front of me or Ill snap. Im really a nice person, I dont know why she does that.

We were all planning a Spa Day. MIL and her sisters and mother and DHs cousin (who is also my BF) well I decided I wasnt going to go because of all the obligations we have this summer. Grad parties, canoeing, Marissas 5th B-day (which of course has to be a good party) and so on. Well MIL wanted me to go so badly she purchased my package for my b-day gift (which is tomm BTW) so that way Ill go. Soooo, Im gettin a facial, mani and pedi from her. AWESOME!!

[sunshine]

Happy B-day tomorrow Jai! Mine was last Saturday!

Enjoy your pampering fellow Gemini! :wink:

[MarchMommy]

happy birthday!!!!!!

[Jai]

Thank You!!! :D:D

[MarchMommy]

yourwelcome!!

[newmami]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAI!! :lol:
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY DEBBIE!!! :oops:

[Peach]

I feel the same way about killing topics. LOL I love that this thread is 7 pages long.

I don't have an evil MIL, but my own mother gets close to that description. She refuses to take responsibility for ANYTHING (since my dad died almost 7 freakin' years ago) so it's constantly "do this for me, do that for me" and no please or thank you. She likes to start fights and say mean things too. Like my personal favorite "you have fat thighs" um, ok I was a size 4 when she said that. So mean! I don't let her get to me though because I know she's just trying to start a fight. She loves controversy.

Happy birthday Jai and Debbie!

[MarchMommy]

my MIL is just plain weird..

[sunshine]

Thanks Claudia!

HAPPY B-DAY JAI!

My MIL is just plain nuts! :roll:

[blueberry]

:D :D

[newmami]

Ha ha ha ha!!! I don't have a real MIL... Dh's mom died about 13 years ago, his Dad remarried, but the new wife is too busy with her loser kids to mess my life... besides she has all this health problems, poor thing!!

[without]

did any one see that bright pink fly buzzing around that dead orange poodle this morning on the way to work. There was also a frog playing the trumpet beside the poodle. They must have been close friends.

When my MIL is dead a tear will not pass my eye lids for her but I may cry for DH and the loss of never knowing what its like to have a loving caring mother who puts her children 1st. :evil:

[newmami]

Pam, I saw the Frog!!! I didn't wanted to say anything because someone told me it was a good luck sign....

[sunshine]

I saw the frog too! Hey Claudia - thanks for telling me it's a good luck sign... now what's gonna happen? Should we go get lottery tickets!? :lol:

[newmami]

Hmmmm.... maybe I should... it is 18 million here!!!

[Peach]

Good luck with the lottery! I hope you win. :)

Speaking of in-laws, I have to spend the whole weekend with them to celebrate DH's grandpa's 80-somethin' birthday. So we get to drive to the BIG city of Sioux City South Dakota. Wooohooo. And as an added bonus I have to deal with Dh's 5 siblings, their families or significant others, his aunts their families and FIL, who has the biggest chip on his shoulder. The man is a freak of nature. He is so mean to DD sometimes. Sorry, didn't mean to complain. lol :shock:

All I wanted to say was I hope you gals win the lottery! :D

[MarchMommy]

i saw the frog too1!! wasnt he playing Jingle Bells?? silly frog

[without]

Wow! I didn't know it was good luck! I will be waiting to find out what it brings. I just hope its not another BFP. I need a small break from being prego! :wink:

We don't have the lotto here. :roll:

[newmami]

Well.... I forgot to play the lottery!!! :? hope no one won

I had a fit yesterday (b/c I am very stressed) and I broke the wall :shock: oops!!! gotta pay for the repair :oops:
Dh did laundry and didn't check his son's pockets... he had a blue crayon, so we ruined a batch of light color clothes with blue crayon stains.... see if he DARES critizise the way I do laundry now!!! :evil:

[without]

Oh, I am so sorry I know how mad that makes me. DH leaves pens in his pockets from work. I have learned to always check but some times those things must hide because they end up in the laundry any way. We pay 4 $'s a week to have DH's uniforms laundryed though his work (they make you pay it) and he won't let any one wash his uniforms but me he says they come back to stiff if he sends them off! :evil: All I can thank of is the time I would save not having to wash his clothes and WE ARE PAYING FOR IT AND NOT USING IT! :shock:

I hate laundry miss haps.

[newmami]

I always check the pockets b/c a friend told me she had the crayon accident with her son..... but DH was too busy to figure out his son keeps all this crap everywhere!!!

I should have done laundry, but I was a little too busy taking care of DD!!

[MarchMommy]

i dont know what you guys are talking about....hehehehe

[without]

I remember when I was 16 my parents started letting me wear make up and I left some bright red lip stick in my pocket of some white jeans. Mom didn't check and we had lip stick stains on all our white clothes. Mom made me use my paycheck (from Burgerland LOL) to buy new white clothes for every one. I learned the hard way to take the crap out of my pockets b/4 putting them in the dirty clothes.

If we left money in our pockets my mom would keep it and told us she figured we left it in our pockets as a tip for her becasue she washed our clothes for us. :lol:

[MarchMommy]

i do the same thing to my DH...he leaves dollars in his pocket all the time,....and it goes into our "cruise fund" for the cruise we will be taking next March...

you worked at Burgerland??? :shock:

[without]

Yup my 1st job (off the farm) was at Burgerland! LOL It was one of those jobs where you did it all! Wait on tables cook the food clean off the tables. Its a little mom and pop shop. It was fun working there but who can live off 3.25 an hour plus tips. BTW the largest tip was .25! LOL

[Bugszy]

I know I'm so far behind and lost in the post . but I just wanted to add..

Without - We thought you were crazy well before this. :) :) Cheers!

[without]

OHHHH, Bugszy thats so sweet! You girls know me so well! LOL

[newmami]

Ha ha Kristia... look who is talking!!! :P

[Bugszy]

Whhaaat?

Oh, Claudia, you couldn't possibly be talking about dear, sweet, sane ol' little me now, could you??

8)

and i think you are all nuts :D :) :wink: :roll: :D :)

[without]

No the whole place has carpet! Ugh try serving greasy burgers all day long then having to clean that carpet at the end of the night.

Oh and thanks any way I don't like nuts! :lol: BTW you joined in on with the frog so you are part of the funny farm too! :wink:

[newmami]

Yuck!!! hamburger grease on the carpet..... ick!!!

The funny farm... shouldn't it be the LOONY FARM??????

I keep posting all this nonsense just to prove Pam she is not the thread killer

[rolokty]

can I be the one to kill this thread? no one is posting in the weight lose forum. What's the point in posting there if no one is going to read it. Maybe the problem is we have too many.

I guess random is going to be the new favorite section.

[without]

I feel that way! We have to many threads! I can't keep up so I stick with General ones but I am thinking about not hanging out at APA as much if things don't change. I feel so down today!

[DIVADLX]

I'm ok with the number of threads, but sad that no one visits other forums. But i guess it works out in that you never see drama in Weight loss or New Moms!

[Bugszy]

Heh.. now because you said that, the drama is going to come on.. And I'm going to start it! Oooh yeah. I think Charlotte could make WAY nastier diapers then ANY of YA'll's babies! .... Take that.

Woot woot.

:lol:

[without]

I hang out here the most becasue I love you girls! :lol: :lol:

[HollyJo]

I'm with you Pam... just had to say that I LOVE the mommies!! It's my favorite section. :D

mine too..you cant go into General anymore with out someone starting DRAMA!!! anywhooo

i am nuts...in fact....i admit it...i just wanted to see if you would...and you did!!

congrats we are all gon-zo :roll: :oops: :twisted: :shock: :x :o

[DIVADLX]

Bring it on Kristia... ;)

I don't know... yesterday Stella was in her exersaucer and I could smell what she did in her pants all the way in the other room...

It was amazingly potent poo!

[rolokty]

I had a cold for three weeks and couldn't smell the pooh. Now, that my sniffer is working again, I wish it wasn't. People tell me it will get worse when he starts real food.

speaking of pooh, we use huggies diapers and my dh finds it funny that winnie the "pooh" is on the diaper.

[Jai]

^:P:P

[without]

One time we were in dillars and my brothers little girl yells "Grandma Aunt Pam has pooh on her pants!" Every one was cracking up. :oops: I on the other hand was not. I was 20 and still in that I am to cool for school stage!

[newmami]

I just want to say I am also trying to stay away from the General & random post... too much nonsense :?: and too much drama!! I am way too old to get caught in the he said-she said... I just give advise or support if needed, the other drama just make me yawn!!

So, now that we don't have drama here, I am going to stick to Mommies, at least we have nice things to talk about... even the non sense threads are friendly and funny

2 BTW: 1) Danielle not only has smelly poop.. when she farts it smells like she just pooped for the whole week!!! :shock:
2) I love the mommies here too!!!

[MarchMommy]

speaking of pooh, we use huggies diapers and my dh finds it funny that winnie the "pooh" is on the diaper.

ha..we use those too. i never thought of the "pooh" thing...hahaha :D :D

yea us "non preggos got booted to a "random" section... :evil: i guess its cause we are "random" and of course nuts....

i love the movie "funny farm". the fishing scene is my favorite...

[Jai]

My brother and me must have watched Funny Farm 100 times one summer!~! :D:D

[DIVADLX]

I am so surrised at the variability of her stinky farts! I mean, the kid eats the same thing every day - how can BM make such stinkers??????

[MommaBear]

yea us "non preggos got booted to a "random" section...

Never! Just all the silly stuff, according to Stash, general forum is for :


- Pregnancy
- TTC
- Babies, Moms, PP
- Infertility, Loss, etc.

In other words, just about ANYTHING related to reproduction and kids, but no "random stuff" like dinner, etc.


I hope I'm not booted from New Mommy & Mommy Stuff forums because I don't have a baby yet. *watches to see if I kill the thread*

[sunshine]

*Nope! Can't kill the thread!* :lol: :lol:

Isn't it amazing that something that smelly can come from something so cute!? :D I love it! yeah, yeah... I'm in the looney/funny farm too... then of course we all knew that LONG, LONG ago... poor Gavin! :lol:

[newmami]

My DH keeps telling Danielle that Mami is crazy!... well duh!! after he met my parents, he should know better (they are nuts!!!)... but he has tons of fun with me, so he doesn't complain

Another thing I wonder... how come babies can pee so much??? I don't even pee that much!!! :roll:

[sunshine]

I don't get that either... and why is my sense of smelling pee so dang more sensitive since having DS. I smell pee and check his diaper and he just started peeing in a clean diaper.... weird...

Claudia - you have to find a contest to submit that siggy pic to.... it's adorable! Everytime I read a post from you I'm so sad that I didn't get to meet you all while in Orlando! Next time... for sure!

[newmami]

Thanks Debbie, I was actually thinking about sending it to a model agency... I am amazed how cute she looks in it!! granted, she is my DD and for me the most beautiful baby ever.... but honestly she has a goofy look!!

[sunshine]

It's not goofy... it's adorable!

[MarchMommy]

it is adorable...

MommaBear...i was JOKING...but thanks for the clairification.... :wink:

[MommaBear]

Erm, yeah I guess I should check who it is I'm replying to before I bother quoting one mod to another. :oops:

[MarchMommy]

:D na...its ok!!!

anyway....

so what is everyone up to this weekend? i went to a boring Arbonne party (the person selling it was completly clueless about the product) and we are going to a bday party...

we are taking my brother (who is going thru chemo) to see Cars, if he feels up to it later....

[HollyJo]

I just got home from a 5 day trip out to the family cabin. We had a GREAT time! We went on a hike (and I love, love, LOVE my new baby carrier), Caiden took his first swim, and we got to have some family fun.

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend too. :D

[DIVADLX]

How'd he do with the sleep schedule? I remember you being worried...

[MarchMommy]

glad you had fun Holly. i was worried bout you!! i didnt know that you went away and i hadnt seen you on lately...


glad you are back!!

[Jai]

Im glad you had a good time Holly!! It sounds like a great time!!:D

[HollyJo]

Thanks ladies!

Caiden did good w/ his sleep, but boy was I worried!! He did great going to sleep and I cranked up his white noise to drown out the environmental sounds. He did wake up in the middle of the night though each night again. BUT, I think that's b/c he was sleeping in the same room as us. I would hear him start thumping away by kicking his feet on that hard pack n' play mattress so I'd just get him up and nurse him back to sleep so that I could go back to sleep too. :lol:

I think he was happy to be back in his own bed. He went back to sleeping 9 hours straight again!

[DIVADLX]

Just in case he sleeps it the pack n play again... and I don't know if this would work... but when I pretend to be asleep when Stella wakes in the middle of the night (which is rare) she'll kick for a while, then fall back asleep. She LOVES the sound that it makes when she kicks her pad (in her co-sleeper.)

[sunshine]

We're hanging out at home. Went to a wedding yesterday...very nice and small in the mountains... so pretty! Then today we had our first open house.... still waiting for a buyer.... one week and counting.....

Glad you're back, Holly!

[Jai]

Sunshine, I hope you get a buyer from todays open house!! My fingers are crossed for you!!

I cant remember, have you found another house yet?

[MarchMommy]

ooo good luck with that

[rolokty]

I never know whether to jump or not when ds makes noise at night. i would sometimes wait and see if he would fall back to sleep for a few minutes. now, he babbles to himself and I don't know whether I should get up and nurse him or wait until he cries. I am afraid, if I wait to long he will really be awake and I won't be able to get him to go back to sleep.

[HollyJo]

Just in case he sleeps it the pack n play again... and I don't know if this would work... but when I pretend to be asleep when Stella wakes in the middle of the night (which is rare) she'll kick for a while, then fall back asleep.

That's funny Jennifer... I used to do the same thing when Caiden & I were cosleeping. I would close my eyes and pretend to sleep... but really I was peeking juuuuuuust barely under my eyelids at him. Worked like a charm most of the time! :lol:

That trick wouldn't work last week though b/c he was at the bottom of the pack n' play and not within eyeshot. He couldn't use the bassinet part anymore because we'd older than 4 months and weighs more than 15 pounds.

It's cute how these babies love to kick. Caiden kicks his mattress too... as well as the bathtub, playmat, bouncy seat, floor, bed, and on and on...


Debbie, I saw the pictures of house on another post... I would love to buy your house! :D Are you moving away or just ready for a different home?

[DIVADLX]

Rolo... i wait until the first wimper... the I "hit Stella's snooze button" which is, I rub her belly. If she doesn't fall back asleep after 5-10 minutes of that then I know she's not going back down...

Hollyjo - I love it! She brings both feet up high in the air and slams them down... we hear it in the monitor all the time!

We are moving too and hope to buy our first home. I am excited and scared. I am also feeling bad because I wonder how weirded out it will make Stella... I mean this is the only home she will have known for her whole life.

[HollyJo]

It reminds me a coiled spring when Caiden brings the legs up in preparation to slam them back down!

How exciting to be getting your first home. Where are you guys moving to? Are you moving because of work or have you guys had enough of Hawaii?

I was going to ask too... isn't Stella almost 6 months now? I remember you saying that you and your husband agree to to move her out of the cosleeper at 6 months, but that you really didn't want to. Do you get to keep her for a bit longer? :)

[MarchMommy]

i think madison is out growing her bassinet...time for the crib...im scared!!!

how old were your babies when they went into the crib??

[HollyJo]

Caiden was 4 months. We started with bedtimes and then eased in the naptimes too.

[YellowRose]

Caleb was 2 months old when he started sleeping in his crib and it was because HE was ready. I had started putting him in his crib for naps and I'd let him play in there while he was awake (he loves all the Pooh's) and after that he REFUSED to sleep in his pack n play. As soon as we laid him down in it, he'd immediately wake up. We tried putting him in his crib and he slept "like a baby". Good luck with the transition, Christi!

[Jai]

Peyton was between 2 and 3 weeks. She did not sleep good in her bassinet at all and she was even fidgety with me so I tried her in her crib for a nap, and she went right to sleep. Then I started her in there at bedtime and she slept a whole lot better than she ever did. :D:D

Good Luck!!

[DIVADLX]

We're moving because it is so expensive to live here... the cost of living is so high, yet salaries are much lower than anywhere else. We cannot stay here and me be able to stay at home with Stella, and it is much more important that I be home with her than we live here. Plus, I hate 365 days of 80-90 degree weather... it gets old. I want to wear a sweater at least once a year, people! :)

PLus all my family is there. Oh where? Seattle. I was born and raised near there.

As far as the 6 month-aversary... yeah! Can you believe it! This Saturday she'll be 6 months old. As far as her moving out of the co-sleeper... I'm not ready and she's perfectly content in it. Plus with the move, I think we'll keep her in it a little while longer so that we don't associate move with new bed.

Truth be told, I will have a really hard time putting her in the crib. It will mean she's so grown up. And I also can't stand the idea of her being so far away from me. Its like she's my lovey.

[HollyJo]

I hear ya on the wanting to wear a sweater once in a while. I love visiting Hawaii, but it is so nice to have seasons! That's neat that you're from Seattle. We just moved up here last year (well, my husband is from the area), but I'm totally loving the Pacific Northwest so far! It is 91 degress outside right now though. What do you do to help Stella cope with the heat? We don't have A/C and I worry about my CaideeBug getting too hot. Right now he's in a thin onesie and there's a fan pointing into his crib. He's all sprawled out and I hope he's keeping a little cool.

Caiden and Stella are exactly one month and one day apart! I'm happy you get to keep Stella nearby for a while longer. :) It's both difficult and exciting to let them grow up. I love that Stella is your lovey. Awe... Stella has such a great mommy!

[DIVADLX]

Or Stella has such a codependent mommy! ;)

I heard about the heat wave! Hopefully it will be gone by the time we get there. I am so excited - I love the outdoors up there, camping, etc. I am getting very excited for seasons again! I love September so much, but honestly, not here in Hawaii... since it all feels like july!

Well, the heat... she lives in onesies... the girl has so many cute clothes and all she wears are onesies and sometimes shorts.

We have several fans (no a/c) and whenever we get overheated, we jump in the shower together. I wanted to spend more time at the beach this summer, but honestly it can be so much more work than it is worth! Plus the UV has been really high lately and I don't want her little skin to get damaged.

[YellowRose]

I just realized that Caleb will be six months old next Friday!!!!!! :cry: Where has the time gone?!?! I cannot believe he's almost half a year old!!!!!

[sunshine]

Wow! Yes, time does go by so fast! It's just not fair that they grow up so fast!

Happy 1/2 B-day Caleb! :D

This thread is NEVER going to die.... :lol: :lol:

[newmami]

Nope... the never ending thread....
Now my 2 cents

Christy, Danielle sleeped on her crib since she was 3 weeks old, she never liked the bassinet!!!

I hear the weather complains... I live in FL and it is constantly hot & humid here... it DOES get old!! unfortunately we cannot move b/c DH's son lives here, so.... I just have to suck it up!! :?

Do you realize we have babies (Jasmine & Sam) that will turn 1 year in the next weeks????????? :shock:

[MarchMommy]

thanks for the tips on the cribs ladies....we are gonna start next week i think!!

i love where i live...we get a summer and a winter, and a few weeks of a fall and spring....but in the summer the humidity is almost unbearable

[DIVADLX]

Nice try Marchmommy... but you're not the thread killer!!! :)

When Stella meets someone new, she grabs their nose... she is fascinated with noses...

[YellowRose]

One time when Caleb was maybe a month old, it was time for him to eat... he was really fussy while I was getting the bottle warmed up so Dh was holding him, trying to comfort him. While Dh was talking to him, he started sucking on Dh's nose!!!! :lol: It was soooooo funny!

[newmami]

We went to eat out last Saturday and Danielle discovered a wall with rocks (at Macaroni Grill)... she was very intrigued by the texture so she kept touching the wall and then looking at her hand, I guess the rough texture was funny for her... then she grabbed a spoon and started hitting the wall....

I love my explorer baby!!!

[Jai]

Aww Claudia, thats adorable!! I especially liked how she was comparing the rock to her hand. :)

[sunshine]

MM - We put Gavin in his crib when he was 3 months old too. He never liked his bassinett... Mommy and Daddy's bed was so much more comfy!
The first few nights were hard, but not as hard as what we are doing now...

Awww! That's so cute that Stella likes noses :D , and Caleb sucked Daddy's nose :lol: , and Danielle is the little Dora the Explorer! :lol: They are all so precious! We really need to have an APA Baby Meet!

Gavin used to suck on my lower lip before he started taking a pacifier :roll:

next.... :wink:

[HollyJo]

Caiden is an explorer too starting recently. Whenever he's nursing now his hand makes his way up to my face so he can grab my nose or mouth, scratch my cheeks or stick his fingers in my mouth. It's so cute! :)

Maybe that's why he's into the exersaucer now! I hope this toy lasts longer than some of the other ones and the noveltly doesn't wear off too quick.

[without]

Thats why I am torn on what to buy Morgan! I mean I would love to get her a Jumparoo but I don't want to pay 75 dollars for some thing she is only going to use for a month. I would love to find a good used one at a yard sale.

[MarchMommy]

yesterday madison and i were napping on the couch and she woke up i guess and woke me up sucking on my arm....she gave me a hickey!!

that sucker hurt too

[austinsmommy]

marchmommy--that is too cute! :) a baby hickey!

[MarchMommy]

i swear that thing stung for like an hour....

[HollyJo]

I see all of you up there!! :D (the names list)

Hope everyone is having a good 'hump day' as my mom calls it. :lol:

[BBKCD]

Oh, yeah....Happy Hump Day! :D
MM, I've had one of those baby hickeys before....Just be glad it isn't on your neck, or you'd have some explaining to do :wink:

[DIVADLX]

Claudia - your rock wall story reminded me of those poor little babies who's hands are covered... she never would have discovered that if she her little hands were stuffed in mittens!

Not meant to annoy anyone... so please don't take it that way!

Baby hickeys? That's too funny. I have a friend who's kitten used to do that.

[newmami]

Ha ha Jenn!!! Danielle will eat those mittens if I put them on!! she hates socks too..... good thing we live in FL!!!!

[without]

Morgan also hates socks! She tuggs them off! I have to wait to put them on her as she is falling asleep. She has so many pairs of cute socks and wont keep them on :evil:

[Bean]

Lorelai hates the mittens. She hasn't worn them since she was a week or so old. They'd be totally wet from her sucking on them.

[YellowRose]

Caleb hates mittens too.... I didn't really ever like him to wear them anyway!

Dumb question.... but... what is "hump day"??? I don't think I've ever heard of that.

[HollyJo]

Hump day is the middle of the week -- Wednesday. Think of a hill... Wednesday would be at the top of that hill... thus you're coming over the hump and on the downward side. :)

[MarchMommy]

or its the day you "hump" your SO!!! hehehhehehehehehee

im so bad..naughty naughty

[Jai]

LMAO, I was wondering the same thing. Ive never heard of "hump day" before. I thought it had to do with SO's!! LOL :P

[HollyJo]

Yeah yeah yeah... it sounds so very dirty!! I always have to snicker when my mom says it. :lol:

[MarchMommy]

hump hump hump hump hump hump hump hump

[BBKCD]

Hmmm...I had a teacher that would write "Happy Hump Day" on the board every wednsday...Now I have to wonder.

[daylilies]

Hump day isn't really the same for me because I work the most on weekends :( I can't stand it. Every time I go to the bank on a Friday the creepy greeter says "Happy Friday!" and it drives me nuts. Happy for YOU, maybe...

[YellowRose]

Oh... makes sense... but I had never heard of it before!! Interesting!

[HollyJo]

Hey! NO THREAD KILLING!

We went swimming again yesterday. So fun. I love this kid. ;)

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b87/HollyJoB/th_MVI_1281avi.jpg (http://s17.photobucket.com/albums/b87/HollyJoB/?action=view&current=MVI_1281avi.flv)

[preahd]

Holly, OMG! Your DS is absolutely one of the most adorable babies ever. I don't think I'll ever forget his little swim...and he's not even mine! He just seems SOOOO pleasant. Does he ever fuss? Hard to believe because he's such a "jolly" fella (using your 1 word to describe him).

[Jai]

OMG, hes tooooooooooo cute!!! He seems to LOVE the water!!

[KCM0430]

he is sooooo cute!!

HEY DONT LOOK NOW:

ITS KATIE, THE TOPIC KILLER!!!!!!!!!!

:cry: :oops: :oops:

[Jai]

Nope, not you Katie!! :):)

I really have to clean the bathrooms tomorrow. Im dreading it. They are such a pain in the butt. :) Then we are taking Marissa to the fireworks. Shes sooo excited. :)

[DIVADLX]

Oh my goodness!!! So cute! When we took Stella swimming for the first time, since it was the ocean we were uncomfortable going in chest height so we took her in her little floaty thing and she was doing that same thing! Splashing with her arms and kicking with her legs!

Oh he's so cute! But see I knew that since he is Stella's long lost twin brother. :D

[newmami]

That reminds me I really need to take Danielle for a swim!! we have all the gear ready!!!

[without]

Oh! that is to cute! I love it!

DD loves the water and I want to take her swimming. My problem is ......they dont make swimming diapers her size. :evil:

So what do I do?

[Daisy]

I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I love all these rolly-polly babies here! I have skinny minny babies and I just want some arm rolls and leg rolls to munch on! I'm so jealous - they are all so cute!!!

[newmami]

Andi... the secret is YEAST!!! LMFAO!!! :lol: I love chunky babies too!!

Pam, did you look at the swimmers from Huggies? the small seem small enough! BRU has them

[without]

I looked but they don't come in size one! I may try looking at Target maybe its just Walmart.

[HollyJo]

Preah, you're right, C is a pleasant little guy. But don't be fooled, he does have his moments. Mostly before naptime. :lol:

Jennifer, isn't that little splash just the cutest thing?! The ocean sounds so fun, but you know how cold the ocean water is here! Brrrr!! I think my little family needs a trip to Hawaii so we can test out the waters there.

Jai, are those bathrooms done yet? ;)

Pam, I couldn't find disposable swim diapers small enough for a long time, but you can order the non-disposable kind online in all sizes.

I love chunky babies too! But I'm biased of course because Caiden is all rolls. :P

[DIVADLX]

Without - you might want to just try a size small... technically Stella shouldn't fit in them, but she does!

Stella seems chubby to me, but at 90th percentile height, 50th weight, seems like she could be chunkier! Her little cheeks are these little round orbs of cuteness!

The water is so warm here - but you're right Hollyjo - I can imagine putting her in at oean shores.... brrrrr...

I am looking forward to our next swim!

[MarchMommy]

we are taking madison to the beach next weekend.....im hoping she likes the water. im so excited. im going to BRU to find her a wee swim suit!!!!!!

[YellowRose]

I love chunky babies too!!!! I just love munchin on Caleb's chubby legs!!! :lol:

Pam, is Morgan still in size one diapers? Not that that's a bad thing... just makes me feel like Caleb is a chunk!! Size 3's are almost too small!

[without]

Aly,

Yes Morgan is still in size 1's! I tried to put her in a dress that was a size 3-6 months yesterday and it fell off her! She has so many cut clothes that are size 3-6 but can't ware them! She will be 6 months in 15 days and she still wears 0-3 month clothes. She is so small! She hit 13 lbs last week! Wahooo!

[HollyJo]

Size 1's!!! Holy crap!

I've been contemplating bumping Caiden up to size 4's after this case is finished. :shock:

Oh to have a little baby and have clothes last longer than 2 months. I refuse to buy anything less than 12 months anymore because he's outgrowing clothes so fast.

Anybody doing anything exciting for baby's first 4th of July???

I don't think we have anything planned as of yet...

[without]

I am going to Silver Dollar City for the 4th! I can't wait it will be Morgans 1st time to go!

[MarchMommy]

we arent doing anything. Madison is too young and we have no one to watch her. looks like a quiet evening at home.....

[LuMo]

We MIGHT go downtown to the fireworks show. But it doesn't start til 9:15 pm! Sheesh. It'll be rough. But we really think Lucy will enjoy it. Truman will probably be ambivalent and find his own toes far more interesting. :)

Holly is it hot/humid there? Too bad the water's so frigid. :(

[DIVADLX]

Lumo it gets hot and humid, but not at the ocean in WA. The water is also really cold because it comes from the Alaskan currents. Lakes and rivers are fun in WA though!

I am so confused about sizes! Stella is a big tall baby, yet she still fits into her 0-3 onesies, but is in her 6-9 month shorts and some outfits. I guess its all about her long Norwegian legs!

She is in size 2 diapers, but when we run out of the dispasables (we alternate with cloth) we'll move up to three!

I have to work on the 4th of july... BUT i'll get off at 5:30 and can spend the rest of the day with my family... and one of my favorite things in the world! FIREWORKS! Work should be fun too - There'll probably be a tailgate or something during the break. The rehearsal hall gets SO hot though!

[YellowRose]

Size 1's!!! Holy crap!

I've been contemplating bumping Caiden up to size 4's after this case is finished. :shock:

Oh to have a little baby and have clothes last longer than 2 months. I refuse to buy anything less than 12 months anymore because he's outgrowing clothes so fast.

Caleb's the same way! We're going to have to take back a case of size 3's and exchange them for size 4's.... and it seems like we JUST switched to size 3's! This boy is growing WAY too fast! He's in 6-9 month clothes now, well.. except in pants, he's still in 3-6. He's got a looong body with short little legs!!! At least we don't have to buy pants as often as shirts and one piece outfits!!! lol

We have no plans for the 4th. Dh works from 12-8pm so no afternoon BBQ and by the time they shot off fireworks, Caleb will be in bed.. not to mention the boom would probably scare him. I didn't even think of getting a babysitter so Dh & I could watch them, but oh well! Too late now!

[MarchMommy]

i just found out that i have mastatis AGAIN..........im really sick, so we will definatly be home tomorrow. i have fever of 101.5 right now, and i feel like a MAC truck just ran over me!!!!!

Madison is still in size ones too.......shes got a while left in them i think too!!

[YellowRose]

Aw, Christi! That stinks that you are so sick again! I hope you feel better soon! Hugs!!!!

A little while ago after I gave Caleb his bath, I was putting his diaper on... we definatly need to buy size 4 diapers!! Shesh! I could barely get his diaper on!!! Man!! This boy is growing way too fast!!!!

[HollyJo]

Geez Caleb... SLOW DOWN!!!

Christi... mastitis again? NO!!! Did you ever end up taking a probiotic? And, just curious, were you given antibiotics during labor for GBS? I hope it clears up soon. Take care dear!


Are people in your neighborhoods going crazy setting off fireworks? They are here! Poor Caiden woke up crying when a loud one scared the bejeezus out of him. I can't wait 'til the 4th is over.

[MarchMommy]

yes hollyjo i take a probiotic.....

its like this one hit me REALLY fast. sunday i was watching movies with my girlfriend and watching madison while DH played golf and i suddenly felt very odd. within hours my breast started throbbing and i felt very sick. so yeseterday i called my LC and my OB and they got me on a antibiotic....two kinds actually. one for the mastitis and one to curb yeast since ive had so many yeast issues. ive had a fever the highest being 101.5 yesterday....i still feel weird, and im super nauseous. plus i have a horrible rash on my left breast ..i guess thats the infection.

yes i HATE HATE HATE the 4th. my neighbors came sunday night telling us that they were going to be setting off fireworks for the kids on our street. my DH told them that we had a newborn sleeping, and they used OUR front yard to set them off in. i was so mad i could hardly speak.,....i wanted to go out there and tell them to stop but DH wouldnt let me because we are the "new kids on the block" and he wants them to like us, so being the nice guy that he is, he went out there and HELPED them clean up our yard :twisted: i was so mad.......

[sunshine]

That stinks, MM! What poopy neighbors and to know that you have Madison trying to sleep.... their nerve! Hope you feel better soon!

[MarchMommy]

yea and the thing is that they ALL knew that we have a newborn, and also our neighbors to our right also have a daughter two weeks older than Madi....

i mean they were RIGHT in our front yard. i could have spit nails. and we have a pool/clubhouse right behind our street....WHY couldnt they go there and set them off?????

what really made me mad was that DH defended them....

[YellowRose]

People are going crazy here with fireworks too! Luckily though, they haven't even phased Caleb! He just sleeps right through them!! He's always been a pretty good sleeper though, he sleeps through thunderstorms all the time!

[DIVADLX]

yay! Its over - no more popping, banging, or whizzing!

[firstone]

MM - hope the mastitis clears up, that stinks!

DH, Ava and I were asleep by 9:30 last night and missed it all. We didn't even wake up for the fireworks :oops:

[MarchMommy]

thanks Jen!! im feeling better today..but not 100%...

im torn on whether to continue Bfding. ive had SIX infections....in FOUR months.

:cry:

oh and im glad the 4th is over too

[firstone]

Ouch!! :cry:

Any ideas why so many infections? Are you just prone to them?

[HollyJo]

I'm glad you're feeling better today! I hope it's gone pronto.


This cracks me up. I took this picture the other day... what do you think it is???

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b87/HollyJoB/IMG_1309.jpg

[firstone]

It looks like Caidens Bum! What is it?

[DIVADLX]

It looks like a knee - a chubby little folded up leg...

Or me from behind in the morning... :D

[YellowRose]

At first, it looks like a baby bum... but I'm going to say it's a leg. What is it??

[HollyJo]

I was trying to take a picture of Caiden's leg on his rash, so it's his leg. But it totally looks like a butt huh! :lol: I cracked up when I saw it the first time and had to do a double take.

[HollyJo]

his leg on his rash

Or rather his RASH on his LEG. :lol:

[sunshine]

:lol: At first I looked and said, WHAT the heck is that!? Then I realized it was his cute little chubby leg! God love him!

So what's everyone cooking for dinner tonight?

[firstone]

Um... DH is in meetings all night, so Papa Johns cooked our dinner. :)

My husband has class from 5-9 PM... so I think I'll have some clam chowder.

Mmmm... I would love to have Papa John make my dinner too! Love that garlic dipping sauce.

[MarchMommy]

[DIVADLX]

I made roasted turkey legs, smashed potatoes, gravy, corn and salad...

Holly - looks like a heat rash... did you ever find out what it was?

[YellowRose]

We had enchilada casserole with mexican rice last night for dinner.

Mmmm!! Papa John's!!! You know, there is NO Papa John's anywhere near me?? It totally stinks! Papa John's is my favorite... and there's not a single one any where! :(

Jennifer, it was a rash from switching detergents. :( I had ran out of Free & Clear so I used our own normal detergent. I thought since he was almost 6 months and some people never even use Free & Clear stuff that he would be okay. Nope, it irritated his skin. As soon as I rewashed everything in Free & Clear his rash disappeared. Little guy has sensitive skin!
