DYK the first part of our class last night was pretty informative
DYK we covered labor and all it's many parts, stretches and exercises for the big day, and breastfeeding
DYK I think the most interesting factoid for me was that when you are introducing baby to the bottle, it should be anyone but mom who does it because baby can smell the breast and the breast milk making it nearly impossible to get cooperation. They said give the bottle to dad and go for a walk haha
dyk yep, Ellie can smell me across the room I swear!
dyk she can be asleep - seemingly sacked out - but if it's anywhere near her eating time (usually when I am a bout to go to bed) and I walk into our room - she's almost immediately ready to eat
dyk On Sunday, we sit down and we write down what we are supposed to do for the week. We discuss dinners, schedules etc.
dyk We do the same thing about bills, we sit down.
dyk Fred has to do most of the house stuff since he works from home but next Spring we are going to have someone come in twice a month and do a cleaning.
dyk We went through several different bottles before we settled on the Playtex Drop In systems and Target makes BPA free liners. We also had to use latex nipples instead of silicone.
dyk I didn't know this but nipples come in stages and its suggested that you switch them out once your baby hits x stage.

dyk sweater weather!!
dyk I love sweater and cotton pant weather!
dyk I don't want to mother him
dyk I don't want to nag at him
dyk but I do have to at some point protect our family finances
dyk I went online, added texting 200 to my plan ($5) and backdated it to the start of this month's billing cycle - Aug 18th
dyk that should cover almost ALL the texts - they were, I saw, being billed at 20 cents each

DYK that is so, so true about introducing the bottle.
DYK and frequently, even when mom isn't around, the baby will still scream and cry and refuse the bottle, but dad has to stay with it.

DYK that in incredibly frustrating re: Sean and responsibility
DYK he better get on the phone and start working some magic- they will most likely remove any charges when you set up the plan properly
DYK did you forward the text to him?
dyk he would love a list - but wants me to write it out
dyk I do not want nor do I think I should need to TELL him what he needs to do!
dyk I don't want to do that at all!!!
dyk we have a NUK bottle that has the same nipple shape and texture as her binkies!
dyk but Ellie will suck on any nipple, binkie, bottle, sippy cup so not really an issue
dyk that and she's only had a bottle about 4 times - when I was away
