In which Time Zone are you in??

I'm in EST. So right now it's 10:27pm.

I'm in Mountain, so it is 8:36pm right now. However, I grew up and spent the majority of my life in Central, so I still think in CST

well, that's usually true for me. Last night I tried taking him OUT to the car for a nurse but he was more interested in the sign on the side of the restaurant. Sigh....

In interesting (but very odd) news, K has been getting sleepy and not dropping off at the breast, fidgeting etc, so I've been putting him on the bed with a pacifier and going to the next room to watch tv and see what he does. Well, he goes to sleep! WTH? We'll see if this lasts...

Um, Kimya, I just looked at Panda's pic in your sig, and omg, what a sweet face. Furthermore, you have the coolest tattoos I've ever seen.

What about when you're out for longer than she goes between nursing? We definitely leave the house dry and fed, but that wears off...

We are never out for more than 3hrs or so and she nurses about every 4hrs. :

Way too much yelling going on here. Ds and I made a deal. He's going to be more respectful and I'm going to not yell.

Hello again!

"I've been gone so long
that absolutely nothing has changed"

(Yuri Andrukovych poem, my translation!)

I've been in allergy hell, not a wink of sleep all night for 7 nights, unbearable itching. now dr is suggesting a break to take medication. I'm carrying on trying everything under the sun. Refuse to do that!

for now just hi to all, maria, hope you're feeling well again now, sounds scary...

[TanyaS]

Do you know what the name of the medication is? I can look and see if it's in my Medications and Mothers Milk book. Every nursing mother should have this book, or at least know someone who does.

Hey ladies, what kind of diaper bags are you carrying? Anybody got a great cheapy diaper bag they can recommend? I need something. I am carrying around the hospital freeby. I tried my dh's messenger style napsack. It's great for carrying, but stinks getting stuff in and out.

: And then he topples over to one side or the other. I shouldn't laugh, but it's really funny and cute.

I the Nutcracker. I used to go every year for my birthday. The National Ballet of Canada's resident choreographer (James Kudelka) does a really nice job of the Nutcracker -- it's even more fun and colourful than the versions I remember from my childhood. Since DH falls asleep at the ballet, I tend to go less often now, though. It's a lot of money to spend on a nap. (In his defense, they do have very comfortable seats.)

hey, I'm starting to keep up now!

Giant backpack. At least three sections - big section, change of clothes and diapers. Middle section, my stuff plus important smaller things like paci and bibs. Small section, wallet, camera, phone, keys, lip balm blah blah blah...

It's December! : (I love December.)

Does someone want to start a new thread (and link to it here so everyone can find it)?

Amy's starting to keep up, but I'm getting swamped!!

I did this very thing with DD1, and it actually worked. When things would start to get difficult, I could remind DD that I was working on not yelling and I needed her to work on listening/responding/doing whatever. Sometimes it still is tough, but it's really made a difference. I think she appreciates the "team effort" and it helps calm both of us down. Keep us posted!

Eastern time zone here, too...

Sarenka I am so so sorry you're having such a difficult time.

We have a bunch of single gloves from the kids last winter! I have no idea where the matches could be. I've given up looking for the missing ones and I think we'll just dig out the craft supplies and have fun making glove puppets.

I LOVE that you use sposies, Cori. I don't feel so alone using them too! Logan has been scooting off his baby gym and rolling like crazy! He doesn't stay put at all anymore.

Kimya, I'd love a CD too, if you don't mind. I'd love to have something to listen to other than Hillary Duff and Silly Songs!

I love the Nutcracker too. My girls' Brownies troop leader got all of us free tickets to see it on Dec 10. Logan will be staying with daddy and I'll take the three girls to see it. We can't wait!

[elsanne]

I'll do it!

[sewaneecook]

I'm not even going to attempt to catch up! It seems like when I'm able to be online, no one else is, but when I'm away everyone sneaks on and writes a book.

Christmas to me is the Nutcracker too! I grew up taking ballet classes and I was in it twice. DH even likes to go to it! Can you believe he likes ballet, classical music, and musicals (and isn't gay! ). I also love Christmas hymns ... at midnight mass (and yes, I really mean church!).

Maria, how are you recovering from your low blood sugar attack? Sounds scary. I'm glad your DH was there to help you out.

Kim, to you, Emma, and the rest of your family. I think that losing a child would have to be one of the hardest things to have to get through.

I 2nd the backpack idea for a diaper bag ... so easy to carry too.

As for all this rolling over, sitting up, and other developmental milestones, I think DS is slow to catch on because he's so big. Should I be concerned that he doesn't roll over, he can't push his upper torso off the floor when he's on his belly, and he doesn't even beging to sit on his own? He's 5 months and 1 week old and weighs somewhere around 25 lbs ... yeah, he's big. I know babes develop at different rates, but DS seems a bit slower than most. Not that I'm in a hurry for DS to move!

My mil made me 2 great diaper bags. I don't need 2, why don't you pm me your info and I will send you the other one she made me. It is a black denim with green flannel inside with lambs on it. It's got 2 outside pockets, and a big inside pocket and 2 zippered pouches that you can take out if you need to. I love it so much. Very nice and quite fashionable too LMK
