Argh, should not have had that hot chocolate at 9pm. DD is fast asleep and probably by the time I am, she'll be awake and wanting to nurse. Sigh. But at least I got to read some posts here.
I think DD is long. Plus clothing sizes are just whacked. She fits in some 6 mos stuff yet also some 12 mos stuff.
LizzyQ I am so feeling your pain for you. My dh used to do film work and while he only had to leave town a few times (we live in NYC so he could mostly do work only here) the hours would suck so bad sometimes he might as well have been gone. He'd work a week of 18 hour days and such. I now hate the film industry! (We have had 4 films done in our building since Clay was born - two on my floor! I hate it.)
So sorry. Perhaps we can send you little care packages to make the 5 weeks not feel so lonely? I have a favorite vegan chocolate bar that might be nice! Perhaps you could PM me your address and anyone else who wants to send you some love can PM me and we can surprise you with little things.

Yes, I say the same thing about the 18 hour days that he might as well be gone.. but it is still nice to at least get to see him for an hour or 2, even just sleeping together at night and not seeing each other all day is better than nothing.
I'll PM you my address.. I can sure use all the lovin' care I can get
Obviously.. it's late and I am awaiting the call that he got there OK.. although I know he is there, I tracked our bank activity online... love technology!

1. when you subscribe to this thread do you get these messages flooding you email? (sorry still trying to understand)
2. the 2T, 3T, 4T sizes for our babes, how do those work?
I tried googling and can't seem to find any clarity....
1. Depends on how much I check them - if I'm on reading and other people are on posting, then I get them quite often. But say I check at night, then go to bed, I will only have one message until I go back to the site.
2. I'm not exactly sure what you are asking? When do they start wearing those sizes or ? From my experience, sizes with a T in them have a little more room in the butt (for diaper) and are usually a little shorter than the ones without a T. My 3yo currently wears 3T, 4T and 4-5 (without a T) and I have to roll the 4-5s sometimes. My 5yoG wears anywhere from 6X to 8 and my 7yoG wears from a 5T to a 7.
No email notification - when you subscribe, pick this option from the list. Or, pick the daily or weekly subscription options and you will only get an email if there have been new posts that day or week respectively.
Swap-I'd be up for doing a swap too, what are we swapping this time? Is our swap board still functional?
2T, 3T, 4T - the T is supposed to stand for Tall, so shirts should be longer in the body and arms without getting bigger around, pants should have longer legs. but, as we all know, a 2T from one manufacturer is a 6X from another!!

I've added all requests for Facebook.
i signed up for a facebook account but does it take a while to get the email notification? i want in!!!
i always thought the T in 2T/3T stood for toddler. does it really mean "tall?"
and funny the swap idea is coming up because i wear my DDC necklace all the time & was just thinking i'd like to do that again. i'd be up for another bead swap...or whatever you mamas come up with.

I thought it was toddler too - to me T clothes seem shorter than non-T.
Dh is 39 and I am 34. We were 24 and 29 when our first was born.
I thought the T was for toddler, as well.
I've been away from DH for several weeks at a time. It isn't fun, but you do get into a rthym. I find it always help to stay in touch via phone or email. Sometimes we set of the camera on our computers and video conference. The DC always like that. The longest I've been away from him was 9 or 10 weeks. One thing that helped me stay positive was thinking about my SIL who has solo-parented for months at a time while my brother was stationed overseas (he's air force). She has been on her own several times with babies. Also, I think about the courage of the pioneer women, who had to be strong and resourceful while their men were away.
I'm really proud of myself. I've been walking 5 days a week for about 9 weeks. I'm up to 2 1/2 miles, up and down hills. (not that the scale is taking any notice of my efforts)

I always think about that when DH is gone for a long time too. I know there are lots of women out there raising babies and kids while thier hubbys are deployed for years at a time.
: I couldn't do it!

I also like the idea of another bead swap. I didn't get to do the last one, but I have lots of beads!
Anyone else's baby in a convertible carseat now? We switched DS a couple days ago.
