I wish I were Jewish so I could have an extra eight days to name this kid, and so people would stop nagging us about having nothing ready for Baby in our apartment yet.
I'm not a procrastinator; I'm honoring thousand of years of tradition!!
I mean, I feel like if you guys want another kid then you should just go for it! Age is just a number
signed, the baby pusher
40. I'm sort of an only child (only step or half siblings) and I've always longed for a sibling. I would love for G to have that relationship, but I worry about all of the health risks that come with being older. We need to talk about it, I think, to figure out how actively we want to pursue it.
@dragonmommy - I love Harrison!
teamhayes - Love Elliot. MH and I shorten Gavin to G all the time.
If we have another baby, I will likely be 37/38 and my H will be 42/43.
For a lot of people in our area, this is a normal age range to have a first baby. I was actually the first one to have a baby out of my friends. I was even considered young in my OB's office! Just thought I would share.

40 isn't so old! you have time these days that's probably pretty normal age to still consider having another!
My aunt had her first (surprise) at 43 or 44 and her second at 48, so you have plenty of time!
creamsiclechica I'm sorry about the side effect. I remember this one and it seemed to subside after the first few weeks. If it continues, maybe run it by your doctor . I seem to remember taking it a few hours before bedtime , but you might be doing that already.
I can't get rid of my sinus infection either! And I got my period today. I think the stress I am under is making the sinus thing linger. Uggh.
I hope you feel better
You too. I am trying to wait longer before going to the dentist. I went last year for this same exact tooth and he said it was my sinuses. Sooooo I don't want to spend another co-pay to get it checked out.
I don't want to pay for the doctor either! That's what's stopping me, plus I don't have time. Uggh.
I'm irritated. My mom stole a FB picture and posted AND shared it. I guess she smartened up and realized that my privacy settings apply when she shares.
The likes probably fill her little narcissistic heart.
I won't be sharing photos on FB for a while. She uses that info to gain access and pretend to be a good mom/grandma rather than actually talking to me.
Uggg. Or where they don't talk to you at all and comment on your pics like, "that's my grandson! I love him so much he's so handsome!!" Sort of thing. It all seems for show.
Ugh. FIL was famous for commenting on things, comparing A to DH as a child, or calling her his "princesa" and shit. Uh, no. I got tired of it and blocked him from seeing most things I post.
H and I discussed our names and narrowed it down about a month before they were born. We didn't tell a soul. I think my mom happened to see one of our lists with about 10 names for each, but it was by accident. We had a lot of people pry, but we didn't cave.
So I have planned out a whole Jake and the Neverland Pirates birthday party, menu, pinterest inspired games, Now C is saying she doesn't like Jake. Whatever girl you watch it NON stop. You will be having a Jake party and will like it.
Unless she comes up with an idea that is more fun than a cannon ball balloon toss, toss the ring on Captain hook's Hand, Jolly Rogers tattoo parlor, and walking the plank.
the last couple days I've gotten ~3oz at my first pump and ~2oz at my second pump. Well I switched out the nozzles for a new set I forgot I had, and got 5oz from my morning pump! It could be fluke of course but I'm pleased
I have joked in the past that all of the girls in Andrew's class are essentially the same. Here's a picture from yesterday to prove it. (There are two more, also the same)
I'm not going to lie, part of my decision to be OAD was my experience during ML and beyond. G couldnt latch and ate small, but very frequent meals and I tried to BF, then pump/power pump in a two hour cycle the first three months. MH is a much better husband and father than he was then, but G's newborn days were absolute misery. I always do a slight head tilt whenever I hear someone say they loved having a newborn.

They are adorable! DD looks pretty similar. A looks so grown up here!
Taj has a cold again. UGGGHHH. A baby that can't breathe properly is so fricking sad. So I'm having him take all naps on me today so he'll get more rest - I've now had a baby on me for almost 2 hours. I want lunch.
I still haven't sorted out childcare and I'm SO antsy to get back to work. It all feels very complicated, and since T usually only naps for 30-40 minutes at a time, I feel like I don't have a ton of time to sit down and figure it all out. I need childcare so I can figure out childcare! Ha ha.
rubber pants, those are so beautiful!!! I want to eat like 10 of them!
I started taking the zoloft they gave me about a week ago. I feel like it's making me SO tired. I am struggling to wake up in the mornings. I am sure it's because my anxiety before was making me in overdrive and I'm probably feeling as tired as I normally should, but it's not conducive to my life, if that makes sense. I'm going to keep taking it and hope it just takes time to regulate, but I don't like feeling like I can't get done all the things I normally can because I'm too tired.
I understand but I think this is probably you normalizing. No normal non-superwoman can get as much done as you did on as little sleep as you got. Now that you aren't fueled by stress and anxiety, something's got to give. Try to give yourself some rest
OTOH I do understand. I don't want to take a daily anti-anxiety partly bc I feel it would make me "not sharp" and I wouldn't worry enough about sicknesses and puke, therefore putting my kids in more situations where they could get sick. #fuckedup.
Ok. As much as I love 101 Dalmatians, that's a lot of dogs! I don't care if you buy a house in the country for them. They aren't small dogs! Imagine the amount of poop!

Even keeping the original 15 puppies is insane.
Free fertilizer?
I can't even handle my two dogs lol.
There would have to be like a dedicated poop area. And the smell!!!

FWIW, it's said that anti-anxiety meds actually do the opposite. They energize you because you've let go of the anxiety. I don't know about AD's though. I've only looked into SE's of anti-anxiety meds.
