Moms! If you plan to fly anytime in the first few months with your baby, save your carseat box! A carseat is checked for free, but in the bottom of a plane it could take quite a beating! I packed mine in its original box, padded by blankets, and even added some diapers and baby clothes, our shampoo and other things. Its like an extra checked bag for free! I packed my carseat at the airport on the sidewalk outside without an issue. :) (Don't forget to reinforce the sides and corners with tape! I ...

Did you time or schedule feedings for your LO's or did you wait for them to let you know when they were hungry? Did you try to put them on a sleep schedule?

Right now I'm operating on the "you let me know what you need" policy and it works pretty well, but I was curious how it worked for you other moms.

Flying out to Arizona with my 4wk old son on Wednesday. Super nervous, its the first time I've flown as an adult without my parents. My husband will be there, but he's never flown in his life. We'll be gone a week, and there is so much I need to do. House needs to be clean, dog sitter arranged, bags packed, and of course my husband is no help at all. And guess who is watching the baby instead of getting all these things done? Me. Ulghhhhhhh.

My little boy has a birth mark that looks a lot like a semi-colon. ( ; ) The first time I saw this I teared up a little. You see, when my husband and I first met I was massively depressed, and borderline suicidal. I've struggled with depression most of my life and even up until I got pregnant I would struggle with lows of suicidal thoughts. Even during my pregnancy I'd have lows where I just "knew" the only reason I wasn't acting on those suicidal urges was because of the tiny life I carried ins...

RANT: Okay so seriously hypocrisy irritates me. While I was pregnant my MIL used to say shit like "get ready for projectile vomit, all the time. Those babies love to throw up". Now my son is here and he rarely spits up. The only time he has is when he over eats (he once drank 8oz in 2hrs, which is a ton for a 2wk old baby, breast fed or not) in which case throwing up some of the excess is normal, and (as his pediatrician told me) in most cases good for him. She came over to visit tonight, and he...

My son (at 3wks old) has started laughing in his sleep. Supposed to be cute BUUUT its actually kind of super creepy, ha.

OOOOoookay so my husband gave me his old phone when he upgraded and I didn't reset it because I wanted to save the photos and music. (I keep forgetting to hook it up to the computer, ha) Anyway, a little security thingy pops up to run a security scan, so I do it. It says there are a ton of risks on the browser. I tap on the tab that says "18+" and there are 187 porn hits in his history. I laughed SO hard. He was SO embarrassed. I know I was pretty psycho during pregnancy so it doesn't bother me,...

Dear MIL,

Please stop trying to wake my baby everytime we come over. Please stop poking and prodding him, and repeatedly cooing his name. You are driving me fucking crazy. Were you up with him from 2am on? No? Then let him fucking sleep.

After a particudarly fantastic diaper blow-out, my son got his first "bath" at home today. And by bath I mean a soaped washrag rub down, then a quick rinse in the sink. I reeeeally need to get a baby bathtub, ha.

Got my pump from Medela today, pumped for 10 min, got 4oz. Feeling less anxious about my son only wanting to eat for 7-12 min.
