Thursday MMM randoms

[Willis Jackson]

My 3.5 just fell asleep on the potty. I thought it was weirdly quiet and I found him asleep, shorts and undies around his ankles, resting his arms and head on his little rocking chair.

Poor guy has been sick and fell asleep on the couch last night after refusing dinner.

[Deleted]

aww--poor kid Willisaurus!

DS's daycare is having their version of "Olympics" today...I wish DS could talk so I could find out if he had fun!

[hannamaren]

Sweet and sad. Poor guy.
My baby has 2 teeth, has learned to crawl (not too far and then she lays down and is stuck) and can pull herself up on the firniture
She is 9mths old today!

[jinnifah]

I hope he's feeling better soon.

Ive been eating too many cookies lately. I know this because I've gained 5lbs since 2 weeks pp maybe this will motivate me to start running again.

[hannamaren]

I wanted to AW my child. I am usually on the ipad and cant attach photos.

[hannamaren]

I tried to go back and change my photo. but it wouldnt let me modify that.
so here is a random photo to go with MMM randoms.
who sleeps like that?

[Deleted]

I just got done at the dentist and I cried the whole time. Not because I was in pain but because I was terrified to be there.

This is how Edmund sleeps sometimes. I can't see how it is comfortable.

[hannamaren]

Poor Edmund. Looks like he is doing yoga.

My kid sleeps exactly like this!

My own random is that I think DS has caught the MMM stomach/diaper issue. I think it was a post yesterday (or two days ago?) where people said their kids were having more diapers than usual and runnier (ick, I know) than typical. Well that has been DS today. Yuck.

I think I've officially made the shift from "I'm not ready for this pregnancy to be over" to "yup, I'm done." I'm mentally checked out of work because it's gotten so effing ridiculous here, my back and hips are killing me all the time, and we have 90% of the "stuff" we need bought.

I obviously don't want him to come early AT ALL, but I've hit a wall and thinking of another 6-7 weeks like this makes me freak out a little.

[savannah11]

DS, 5, has an mri without sedation scheduled for tomorrow. I'm the only person who thinks he'll be able to do it :-(. We expect the mri to be normal so I really don't want to put him under for it.

DD slept through the night for the first time since we moved her to her crib from her RnP and took away her swaddle a week ago.

She has fully embraced sleeping unswaddled and I need to figure out how to take pictures of her sleeping without waking her up because she has taken to sleeping with both hands behind her head and its insanely adorable.

I just go in the dark room aim my cell phone and take the picture. 9 times out of 10 I get a great photo and I have never once woken him up from the flash.

My 18mo old hit me on the head so hard with a board book this morning that it made me cry. She got scared, but then started hugging me.

My head still hurts a little. :/

Board books are dangerous y'all.

It is super freaky to see our daughter move in my belly. Like to actually SEE my stomach move, with no muscle action from me. Woah.

[oregonpachey]

We are going to start sleep training (again but we had to stop because Cal got a double ear infection) tomorrow and I am terrified.

That is all that consumes my thoughts these days.

[Deleted]

I think DS has hand foot and mouth disease. He's got a fever and some weird rash things going on. I haven't taken him to the doctor because I know she'll just tell me it's a virus and keep the fever down with tylenol/advil. I don't want to make a waiting room sick for that earth shattering advice. Plus I really don't want to leave the house with him.

Last night sucked. Today isn't much better. I fear for tonight and tomorrow...

[galaxy8227]

My SIL sent me an email today--from my niece Isabelle (1 month old) with a power point presentation with all these beautiful photos asking me to be her godmother--I've never cried at work before but I bawled my eyes out I was so happy.

[mrshandy]

My two-year old has officially established sleeping on the floor as his preferred method of sleep... He's not interested at all in his toddler bed.

We even put a mattress on a floor next to where he usually sleeps and it just pissed him off. Crazy boy...

lol. DS sleeps under his bed pretty frequently. It makes for a moment of panic in the morning.

I may try it during a nap.

Dd is getting three molars and they hurt like a motherfucker week continues at our house. Last night we slept together on the floor. A lady in my moms club actually suggested rubbing bourbon in them, which sounds really tempting. My ibuprofen/oragel cocktail from last night obviously didn't work.

[sewpinkgal]

Sounds like the MMM kiddos are having a rough week.

I had a long playdate with my bff and her sister last week. Their daughters are 20 and 12 months and it was just a perfect set of ages to all play nicely next to each other. Everyone got a nap at some point, we all had lunch and got to catch up on life.

This is the first time we've done this since having the little ones because we live over 70 miles apart. I had so much fun, but honestly, I've been really sad since then, wishing that we lived closer together. We all have similar thoughts on raising and playing with kids and I could see us making these playdates a weekly thing if we weren't miles away from each other. I've met a few other nice moms from a local Parent Ed group we attend with the kids each week, but we're pretty far apart in our views about raising kids, so it can make for some awkward times. I just wish my closest friends were physically closer.

My baby has been kicking the crap out of me the past few days. CONSTANTLY. I am worried if she is going to also be insane outside of the womb and if I should've listened to my BMB and abstained from ALL caffeine (I stayed under 200 mg a day, I swear!).

My baby has been going crazy too. I attribute it to him being a boy. My girls both moved a lot, but this kid moves pretty much all day. I love it mostly, but I'm sure I'll get tired of it as he continues to grow. I've got 17 more weeks to go!

[froggy76]

I love the sleeping baby pics. And galaxy, that is sooo sweet!

My first pp AF is here

[vanillacourage]

My 3 month old just rolled over.

I can't do emoticons on the app but I'm doing the one with the huge eyes and straight line for a mouth.

[Deleted]

I'm the only one at work today.

If I would have known this, I don't think I would have come in.
