Black Friday night randoms

[Brie]

My CW has a 4 day old and just texted me "when does breastfeeding get easier?" and my heart is breaking because damn, I remember those times and how hard it was. I know she's a total Type A personality and a perfectionist and is beating herself up over it. I want to Amazon Prime her a gallon of nipple cream.

[aspentosh]

Recommend triple nipple cream! I am assuming you meant lanolin, but APNO was the bomb for me. And yeah, poor thing

BIL said they were buying nieces iPads and would love Apple gift cards for Christmas. Turns out they changed their mind and are buying Samsung tablets and need Google Play. So glad we already bought the gift cards. Ugh.

Getting ready to watch After Earth. Not sure it'll be my thing...

[lmb5109]

Hope it gets better for her soon! I started pumping by day 4 because I couldn't get her to latch after we left the hospital.

We are still in our pjs and not showered, we did at least brush our teeth.

[everafter07]

We hosted Thanksgiving today. Holy shit I'm tired.

I did some damage online today. A bunch of clothes for DD and two tops for me at Old Navy, some flats and a wrap dress at Banana Republic, leggings from AE (hope they're as great as everyone says!), $300 Target gcs, and shampoo/BB cream/sunscreen from Body Shop. Ugghhhhhhh my poor credit card.

I just asked my mom if she wanted a diet coke in the can or with ice. TOTALLY SERIOUS, "Oh, better put it on ice cubes. I need a little more water today."

[bowies]

I need someone to come take my debit card away from me.

[gibbinator]

I am so tired and touched out. I've basically had one or the other of the boys on me since 4am. Dh is in charge of ds2 for the next whopping 10mins while I sit in the corner on the other side of the room eating pie. Then I have to take the baby back and put him to bed. I hope both kids sleep well tonight.

[gogadgetgo]

The last of my company just left and I'm so happy with the relative silence. 7 adults in a house with 3 toddlers was a bit much.

I bought 4 bras and some new undies online at macys. Coupons, sales and ebates have made me happy today.

Doesn't help when you have the number memorized.

It was probably a good thing Chase switched our cards from Mastercard to Visa recently. LOL

I just have to AW this picture. My vampire baby. (I swear it not blood on her shirt...raspberries for lunch.)

I think next month I'm going to start rounding Bas's age to 1.5, then almost 2, etc. I think I'm starting to get the side eye from non-baby people when I say he's 17 months.

Of course we also get "no way he's so big" regardless. Lol.

On Wednesday, a woman at the Apple Store and her 2 year old son were engaging C in small talk. C towered over this kid. TOWERED. When the mom asked the inevitable, "How old is she?" I responded 19 months her response was, "No. Are you sure? Why is she so big?"

Before I could blink my husband answered, "Because she's healthy and thriving. Why's your son so small?" I didn't know whether to applaud him or crawl into a hole.

LOLOLOLOL. Go Mr. Hermione!

But seriously, what is with that question (not that we ever got it)?

[spk926]

I legit peed my pants while sneezing 5 minutes ago. I had to change. :-( I'm not even pregnant. This is my life...

I was behaved today. Got some baby legs on sale, and we did go to ikea to get the dresser but that was planned. I am finishing up nursery art projects and keeping distance from hubs because he's grumpy and I am hormonal.

[Deleted]

I night weaned DD last week and it seems to have worked. She's STTN more often then not. It's lovely.

DS still wakes up about half the time and demands tucking into the "floor bed" beside our bed. Sigh.

hermione, when we bought Bas's fall wardrobe, we did a bit of 24m and a bit of 2t. He's outgrowing the 24m stuff nowish and I was telling H that C is so much bigger!

Truth! We're in 3T across the board now. I'm hoping we make it until spring in this size!

[pugz]

Just realized that I have not taken my zoloft in 4 days since i just realized we left it at home.

That explains the dizziness and possibly the horniness. I gave dh his first bj in like 5 years yesterday.

[yellowbrkrd]

My dog is driving me fucking nuts. We moved "his" sofa out of the living room and haven't put it back yet, and he will not stop whining. It's not going back until Sunday, after we get the Christmas tree in the house.

[spk926]

I have to leave soon to pick my mom up from the airport and then bring her home. I'm excited because then I can grab our Christmas tree that we were storing in her basement (along with tons of other crap because of our move this spring). I think I might even leave a little earlier than needed so I get out of bedtime!

[Jalapeñomel]

I managed to get all my grading done while babyD was napping this afternoon, and although I should be planning my lessons for next week, I have opted to watch Gilmore Girls and reheat my apple & cherry crumble.

[pupcake]

I'm almost drunk. I was signing songs to dd2 early about her blanket. It went along the lines of ohhhhhh blankie, your so soft and pink and cuddley, ohhhhhh blankie.

[aspentosh]

I'm pretty sure one of my dogs is deaf (or mostly there). He's almost 10yo, so it's old age, but damn it sucks to call his name and not get any kind of recognition.

[bowies]

I've been hoovering the pumpkin pie we bought at BJ's into my mouth hole. It might be one of the best pies I've had.

[osulori]

I put AJ in bed shortly after 8...it's now 8:40 and he's been intermittently getting pissed and quieting down for, oh, the last 40 minutes. I1f he's not asleep in 5 mins I'll go get him and rock him for a bit. This is what I get for letting him nap later (130ish-5pm)-I don't usually do that but he's got a cold and I thought he needed it.

[pippa]

The question is not whether I should have more pie, but how much more pie? Blueberry, pecan, french silk, or one of each?! Tough decisions.

Last night for DS in the pack and play for a while. Fingers crossed he does better than last night. Not being able to have any wine really makes traveling even more difficult with crappy sleep. Looking forward to him in his crib again and hoping he goes back to sttn like he was before Thanksgiving. I could really use it.

@vicmo, i still use months because i feel like there is such a gap between 26 months and like 34 months, even though they're both 2. Plus I feel like people judge be less for dd being "behind".

aspentosh, my Frenchie is deaf it's super sad. And she has bad arthritis in one back leg so when it's cold she hops on 3 legs. Pitiful.

Thank god for autocorrect. I am drunk and keep having to go back and fix ridiculous words.

I will still be liberal with rounding explanations like "he was 1.5 at Christmas" or "he'll be 2 in June", I just mean no more 23m, etc. I can see people doing the math sometimes, haha.

Yes I say "JUST 2"

I zone out when the months are any more than 18. Too much brainpower needed to work it out. Same when people are all "she's 17 weeks". Say what now?

The only time weeks is valid for that long is pregnancy and even then, only pregnants or past pregnants understand.

[osulori]

Oh, that kid of mine. I go in to get him, and he's a snotty sobbing mess. Settles down fairly quickly onto my shoulder when I sit in the recliner and start rocking, and I think he's going to fall asleep. Then all of a sudden..."Georgie? Edduh (Eddie)? Balllll! Bubblllleee! Bubble? Ball?" So we walk laps through the kitchen, dining room, and living room and I get through approximately 30 bottles of beer on the wall before I put him back down. It's been 10 minutes, so far he's not 100% asleep yet but he's not crying either so my glass of malbec and I are hoping he's on his way to sleepyland. I think the coughing is keeping him from falling asleep, poor kid.
