OMG, I want to squeeze her!!!!!! :smooched:

I haven't had time to read through all the posts but I had to share. Harley is now sitting up! For a couple weeks, I'd prop her up on her arms and she'd last maybe 2 seconds before flopping over. But the other day she sat for a good 30 seconds and if she starts to lean, she'll catch herself.

SOOOOOOOOO cute!

Lyn_Matthews

Harley is SO adorable. I love the look on her face. My daughter sucks on that bottom lip all the time.

Sara I'm sorry your computer broke. I just got mine fixed after it sat for months, luckily hubby's works. I would be happy to start the thread on Monday....along with the other thread I have to start (oh you know which one )

Adi just cut her 2nd tooth and I can already see a 3rd on the bottom but no signs of her top ones yet. She's growing up too quickly and it's all been in the last couple months. At Thanksgiving she learned to roll over, then she started sitting on her own, now she's sitting up and getting up on her hands and knees (sometimes toes). Not crawling quite yet but her legs have the motion down, just not her hands. Why can't they just stay babies???

I'm sorry to intrude on you, but how did you get your support group started?

3babybeans

Back a few months ago...actually I think September-ish...Audry posted a question on the Motivation & Support board asking if anyone was interested in a Stay-at-home mom group. A bunch of us replied & now we start up a new thread every week. Just ask around & you're likely to find someone going through the same thing. Good luck to you! Do you mind me asking what kind of group you're looking for? There might be one floating around right now!

I'm off for now, ladies! Wish me luck surviving the next week. Thanks for starting up the thread next week, Lyn! I'll see you here & on TJ!

I feel like I'm leaving on a trip or something. :laugh:

Loree- she is so precious!!! Love it!!!

Marla64

she's a dollbaby, Loree-- I want those cheeks!!

Winter23

Aw, she is so cute. My DD used to suck in her lip like that too, we called it her cabage patch face cause she had the round cheeks to with it.

All these super cute adorable babies!! I am SOOOOOOO jealous!!!
My youngest is 12! LOL Ok, maybe not so jealous about the mom with the baby thats teething...(poor little guy!! ) That is just no fun! He sure is adorable tho!!

MsBuzz- Could it be close to that time of the month? I just went throught the no motivation thing last week, especially when it came to working out. I stuck to it tho...especially the gym part and had a couple days where i was over a little on cals and 1 day where I was just plain bad bad. So bad, that I saw a 2# spike in the WRONG direction on the scale. I didnt know what was going on but I was getting so mad that nothing was happening AND that I was getting discouraged. THEN... aunt flo stopped by and well 2 days later Ive lost the #2 of water weight and 2 more pounds fell off as well.
Also, packing and moving is NOT an easy job. If you need some time to get moved and settled before you can recommit to your goal, then dont knock yourself. The important thing is that you get back on track to get to where you wanna be. You can do it!

i did it i did it i did it!!!! i've been so close to 20 pounds for weeks now, and yesterday i was at 19. this morning i got on the scale for my official weigh in for the week and i had lost 2 pounds!! since yesterday! i'm so excited. i've been wearing 16's for a little while, but this morning i got into the smallest 16's i own. i ran upstairs and started jumping on my bed, my poor hubby didn't know what was going on. :laugh: i just had to share. i hope you all have a great day.:happy:

Actually no it's not that time of the month. I have had 3 weeks in a row that were bad. 1st it was that time of the month 2nd was because I was sick, but I lost weight 3rd it because I was bad 2 weeks I kinda of lost the my mojo. It's just been a lot. We aren't moving right now, we are just getting everything ready to get the house presentable for when we list it on Thursday!! Thanks though:flowerforyou:

Morning all,

I have a migrain from HE&& and a busy day on top of that. I am trying to get rid of the migrain first and then I want to get my workout in I am out the door in about 15 minutes to go work on the monthly newsletter at church which wouldn't be a big deal except the lady I am having to work with is driving me insane and the way I feel this morning :grumble: ok off that subject for now. Just wanted to so good morning to all before I leave.

Have a great day:flowerforyou:

Sorry you are having a hard day. Went I get major cravings like that..I give in just a little, cuz the more I ignore them the more I want them. Doritos have always been a favorite of mine, but last time I gave in to a minor craving, they didn't taste as good as I wanted them too I would have to say no to the cig and margarita though :ohwell:
I hope you survive the day!

Lyn_Matthews

There must be something in the air today.

I haven't even been up for 2 hrs and my son is already pushing my buttons. He can't seem to hear anything I say. He doesn't understand that mom gets her computer time before he does and if I don't get my stuff done quickly then he has to wait longer....ugh! :grumble: Oh well, I'll work out and get those endorphines and hopefull feel better.

Well my goal was to be at 182 by the end of this month and I'm oh so very close. I'm bustin my butt in my workouts, sticking to 1800 cals no matter how many exercise cals I have to eat, and I'm drinking lots of water and green tea every morning. If I hit my goal then I only have 17 lbs to lose in 3 months, which is about 6 lbs each month....TOTALLY attainable!!!! I get so excited just thinking that I could be 165, the same weigh I was when I was 18, by the time I turn 31!!

Adi looks like a the cutest little inchworm when she tries to crawl, she gets up on all fours, tucks those knees in and then slides forward. She has a cough this morning but she is in good spirits. I think she is relieved that the 2nd tooth finally broke thru. My son didn't get teeth until he was 10 months, seems so strange for Adi to have teeth this early.
OH and hubby is finally on board with us having another kid!!! I mean it wont happen for a couple years but he was opposed to the idea at first and now he is saying that having 3 would be fine. Plus he doesn't seem to have any objections to having foster kids when we get a big enough house. Oh I love that man!!!!

wow sorry for the rambling
Hope you all have a wonderfully healthy day!

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Marla64

hI Lisa-- come on in and join the party-- great group of ladies here--

Lyn_Matthews

Welcome Lisa.

Hey veteran mothers....I have a VERY constipated 6 month old baby. I've tried to decrease her cereal intake and up her fruit intake. I'm trying to nurse her more, but this has been going on for weeks now and I'm not sure what to do. She used to scream bloody murder when she'd finally have a BM but now she just throws up cuz she's pushing so hard. Any suggestions??

prune juice! works wonders:flowerforyou: i hope she feels better soon. my youngest still pukes when he poops at 20 months. he has reflux

Marla64

Ditto on the prune juice, and I'd bag the cereal for awhile, totally. Also, watch what you're eating-- could be something you're eating giving her the fits. I couldn't eat peanut butter, the babies went bonkers-- that kinda stuff.

Poor wittle sweetie--

Mommachag-- dreaming of margaritaville over here-- haven't had one in years. num, num, num!1

LosingIt4good

ooohhh margaritas DO sound good!! Espeically after the day Ive had!

Just as I was heading out the door to go to the gym, the pricipal called from the high school. My son was involved in a fight at school... (actually he was defending himself) and was being suspended for 3 days. Ughhh.. so off I go to pick him up. I get there and she wanted to talk to me and tell me what she believed happened. She tells me that he was standing in the hallway blocking it with his friends and this other kid came up and asked him to move so he could get by. He told the pricipal that my son started mouthing off so this other kid decided it was a good idea to push my son out of the way. My son pushed him back and the kid punched him in the jaw then took off running so my son threw an apple at him. Both kids were suspended HOWEVER when i talked to my son after we left and asked him what happened, he told me that he was standing there with his friends and this kid came up to them and started talking crap and calling them names so he told him to go away and leave them alone. The kid pushed him so he pushed him back then the other kid punched him in the face. HARD. and took off running the other direction. He ran after him but couldnt catch him so he threw his lunch apple at him. I asked him if his friends saw what happened and he said YES but that the assistant pricipal did NOT even talk to them about what happened, she just automatically took the other kids side.

That just plain pisses me off!! Ok, so maybe he shouldnt have pushed back and just gone and found a teacher... but seriously he was defending himself and he didnt throw punches! I am so sick of the bully crap that happens there. This is the 3rd time hes been in a physical altercation this year and NONE of them were situations that were started by him! Its always another kid, picking on him, pushing him around... yet somehow.. he always seems to get detention or suspended! ARGH!!!!!!!! I mean.. what should I do? Tell him the next time he has to defend himself, to kick the kids butt real good so these other jerks KNOW not to mess with him? I mean if hes gonna get suspended.. why not make it worth it?? :mad:

I did get my workout in at the gym which helped a little to relieve some stress. Hubby is in Seattle right now until tonight, so he said he would be calling her first thing tomorrow. Hes as tired of this crud happening as I am. I am just so mad right now If I had to sit and listen to any more "zero tolerance" crap out of her, I woulda punched HER! :explode: These rules were made to protect kids from being bullied, yet the only thing it does is punish the ones who get picked on too.

ok.. Im done.. thanks for the opportunity to vent.. :blushing:

It may not be right but that's exactly what I'd tell my son. If the school isn't doing anything to protect the child he needs to protect himself. If he's going to get suspended anyway...make it worth it. I can kinda see why the asst principal wouldn't talk to the other kids about it...cuz more likely than not they would side with their friend...in this case that would be good but not always. Regardless, it doesn't sound like she listen to the kids' versions of the story anyway, which I don't think is fair. I would be furious if my son got suspended from school for doing NOTHING....feel free to vent anytime.


I have given Adi prunes and she eats them really well but it doesn't really seem to help. Since she is so young...is it okay to give her regular prune juice or can I give her the apple prune baby juice? thanks ladies.

Lyn_Matthews

PS Hubby agrees that it's margarita time....except for me it will be a daiquri, I can't drink tequila :sick:
