We did all the bad stuff like nurse to sleep and co-sleep but it worked for us in that I just need to get through each day and have a healthy, happy baby sense.<br /><br />Also, WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR HUSBAND'S SHIRT? It's quite accurate -- those eyes! Why do the baby boys get such long and luscious eyelashes?

I love it. <br />Can you write a post on the cloth diapers? Which ones did you go with and how do you like them so far? And for daycare, will they just put them in a wetbag for you or how do they manage that? <br />I've been much more lax with this pregnancy than I was with my first pregnancy (which ended in MC). I am 16 weeks now, and just started reading baby books last week. I've always been a bit Type A, overplanner, etc, so even my husband has noted how at ease I've been. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904232416425764887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-81088415925532806682015-05-20T12:53:30.873-04:002015-05-20T12:53:30.873-04:00That blogger you mentioned is full of shit (and I ...That blogger you mentioned is full of shit (and I say that as someone who used a really watered down form of sleep training that did work for us and also as a blogger who is open about not being an expert in anything).

He sometimes wakes up and puts himself back to sleep even! Clearly that opinion is wrong. <br />Dalton is so stinkin' cute! I can't wait for another play date. I have a feeling that Dalton will be bigger than Jude by then (if he isn't already)! <br />I thought about buying some baby food jars the other day but my husband said, 'why start now?' so I didn't do it. He eats a combination of stuff I puree and stuff we eat. We even grilled him up a tiny burger the other night.

She'll sleep great for a few weeks and then she'll get sick or cut a tooth and go right back to waking up every two hours. And i can't listen to her cry! I CAN'T DO IT. (Even though I did with the first one, weird.) I rely on nursing for naptime and bedtime and nighttime wakeups and I realized THIS is how moms end up breastfeeding until their kids are 11. It's not because they want to, it's because they can't f***ING figure out how to get them to sleep without it.<br /><br />Anyway, cute baby though.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17919448621061241395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-19060385537485012382015-05-19T22:11:58.583-04:002015-05-19T22:11:58.583-04:00Not a parent, so take my opinion for what it's...Not a parent, so take my opinion for what it's worth, but it seems to me that people have been raising children for a whole helluva long time before the internet made everyone categorize, identify and compete. People would maybe read a book or two, listen (or not) to advice from parents and inlaws and aunts and uncles and then do their own thing. Are we better or worse off now that we have names for every single thing we do? Ultimately, I'm not just talking about raising children, but it seems like the interwebz really makes us define things that don't need definition.
