Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Kids, no not the movie, we're talking the real deal

Well, it's true there's a 1 in 2 chance! But anecdotally, I know a lot of women whose intuition has been spot on. Of course, sometimes there are factors playing into that (my mother correctly guessed all of us, but then she carried boys and girls very differently).
Premium - awesome gif; love the stars
Also used the Beco Butterfly to take Anya to Target today and it's much easier to use than I had feared! Plus she loved it - fell asleep right away. :3

That time is years away yet though, so in the meanwhile, hope you don't mind my occasional question or comment. By the way Quoth, the sweet potato happy face comment was so cute.
Sot it turns out I accidentally got him ready for the oven. Looks pretty pleased about it though.
And apparently part of being a dad now is being up at 3am without having spent the last 6 hours playing video games
You've got a winner there, Piotyr.
@Prolegomena your son has awesome hair! How old is he now?
Also Mori is back in our bedroom tonight, hopefully Anya doesn't wake him. Vaguely jealous of his getting a full night's rest, only I suppose it's only fair when he has to work!
The cluster feeds (usually twice a day) are doing my head in... But we get through them in the end.
That is hilarious, Piotyr. Considering that picture you posted a while back of him as Link...
Ugh I should sleep, after tonight's cluster feed I probably have about two hours and I'd best take advantage of it!
She was fussing until I pulled her onto the bed beside me to sleep... She sleeps really well beside me, but somehow has decided only if she's partially on her stomach and snuggled right up to my arm, ack!
She's still crying but I think it's because she's happy.
Our apartment was absolutely spotless the night I went into labour but of course that meant I has zero energy left for giving birth itself. Luckily everything went as smoothly as it did...
Also Anya just slept from 2 am to 6 am! :shock:
Tried to give him some homemade sweet potato fries yesterday, no dice
My friend ended up eating them so it's not like they were gross
This morning, he reportedly cried through breakfast and took forever to nap
At this point, I'm ready to give daycare a shot because I think maybe the routine will straighten him out?

Oh man, this is so true! The first time my son slept through the night, I woke up, saw that it was morning, and was instantly panicked that he had stopped breathing.
@Quoth, yeah, trying to get a routine for them is so hard. Eventually you'll discover that certain daycares work better towards getting your kid straightened out than others and it in fact has nothing to do with the quality of the daycare.
I was watching her sleep and trying to text a friend at the same time, and of course my phone slips out of my hand and lands on Anya's head. From a distance of about an inch but still arrrgh
Anyway I rubbed her head for a while and she seems okay and you bet I am never doing that again.
Mori is still asleep! It's 10.30 am and I reckon even I got about 6 hours of sleep!
The only problem is, the way I attained this magical night was to have Anya sleeping on the bed right next to me (I tried to have her facing away but that didn't work).
Babies are tougher than they look I'm sure she's fine!
We had our kid sleep like that a few times too... sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do until they learn better sleeping habits.
Now you know why you thought your parents were so boring when you were a teenager.
I thought it was because I spent every waking hour reading, on the SNES, or on the PC.
Were you going to try cloth diapers?

Pampers really are awesome. She literally just pooped and it's all snug and secure down there.
But I find they tend to happen mostly when there's a size transition going on

and from the front because I really like the Beco's pattern:
It seems to a be a young-baby thing... when their poop solidifies more as they're older, the leaking basically stops. But both of our kids were ruining outfits like mad in the first few months (the wee one is still doing it...). The first time around I thought it was a problem with the cloth diapers we were using, but our youngest manages to breach the seals on the disposable ones pretty regularly.
Yay feces!
