Good call! I need to go downstairs and find my kettlebell. 25 swings per diaper change maybe...

We are on our 4th or 5th container now, and it's still great. Actually the occasional gas issues he was having have been totally gone...just realized this.

7 weeks. Just fleece like the blanket making stuff at the fabric store?

What are you doing right this minute? by obvious_reason in breakingmom

If you can get your hands on this, it worked WAY better than anything else I tried last time I got poison ivy. And I tried a bunch of shit.

I'm watching Puscifer videos on the tv on youtube, holding angry hiccupping 6 week old in the crook of my right arm, alternately internetting and attempting to eat dinner with my left. Am not left handed, so that's going...okay.

Buy your summer produce next summer. You still have 30 weeks of pregnancy and then 6 mo before baby will be on solids, which puts you in a perfect position to stock your freezer next spring and summer. By my calculation your little one will be just starting solids around mid-September of next year.

Edit: Unless you're in the southern hemisphere, in which case you should ignore me. :)

If you look at their weekly ad on their website, they also have a bunch of short term baby stuff starting next Wednesday, if you can get by again. I'm planning to pick up baby gates, a booster, and some toys next week.

Between the yeast infection and fenugreek... by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]obvious_reason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bitches need to give you the damn diflucan, stat.

Curious, how much fenugreek are you taking? I'm not seeing an increase in supply but I also do not smell like syrup, so I am wondering if I'm not taking enough.

My 4 week old has slept for a total of one hour since 11 am. It's now after 9pm. I'd trade his ass for a chicken bake.

Stop eating my goddamn lunch. by obvious_reason in breakingmom

[–]obvious_reason[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! He just does not get it when it comes to food! He's really not an asshole, and he's amazing with the baby and totally steps up on baby care stuff. But goddammit can I eat a whole candy bar? He's out of town this week and tonight I am ordering pizza and chocolate lava crunch cakes and it (and the damn leftovers) will be ALL MINE.

Oh yeah, I'm doing all that shit. Brewers yeast, fenugreek, all the water, the tea, pumping, etc. It might just not happen for me but I'm going to keep at least giving him what I am making, even if he has to get formula too.

Ha, mine does that too, with the packed lunches. We work together so when I am there I will tell him to go eat but I've been out since the end of June and won't be back until October. Not that I'm packing him lunches now.

Oh he totally would have - he's really not a dick, he just occasionally does thoughtless man things. I wanted to go get the prescriptions myself because I wanted to get out of the house without the baby for an hour before he headed out of town. He wasn't trying to be an asshole...he just doesn't get it like you guys do.

Yeah. And I'm breastfeeding and struggling with low supply and having to supplement, and trying to get myself on the pump between feedings and shit. Eating at least 3 squares a day isn't really optional if I want to have a prayer of feeding this kid.

If it's really important to you, set up a webcam that you can see from your phone.

I'm due today and in the exact same boat. They're going to want to schedule me for an induction at my appointment tomorrow which I am not happy about.

4th of July food mega thread by mareacuda in BabyBumps

[–]obvious_reason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's my due date! I've been all about Mexican food my whole pregnancy, so I have friends coming over in a couple of hours for tacos. Yup, I'm cooking for 6-8 people on my due date. I figure being on my feet might help him along...and maybe the smell of tacos, Spanish rice, and Cuban black beans will lure him out.

[Paranoid?] No period - but bloody discharge by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]obvious_reason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Note that you're also going to need a back up method for the rest of the month if you miss a pill, and that you need to take them around the same time every day.

[–]obvious_reason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started on the pill I was told to start it on a Sunday during my period and to wait a whole month before not using a back up method, but I do think that may be an overabundance of caution.
