Also remember every child is different. Z slept a lot and really well and then 9 months in or so not as well for awhile. There are always 'phases'. Generally around growth spurts, teething...
Now cowgirl...this is how to properly post.

Wifey is at least starting to feel good enough now she can leave the house for something other than work and that makes a huge difference. The first 5 months her routine was basically go to work, come home, collapse on couch, barely eat anything because she was too nauseous, eat, food returned to sender, eat again, struggle over to the couch, eat a couple hours later, food returned again to sender, eat again, struggle to sleep. Luckily her employer was extremely understanding and flexible or I'm sure things could've been considerably worse.

Caved. Reading that thread, I must have been about the only person who enjoyed the Daniel Craig Bond. Think the new direction will be cool to see.
You weren't the only one. Mrs. Velo and I did as well. I think I did because I had read many of Ian Fleming's books and he painted Bond as something of a lithe but brutal animal under his skin. I thought Craig did a good job of portraying that original characterization. It's probably also why I never thought Roger Moore fit the role even though he was Bond for most of my formative years.

I was also looking forward Elba in the role. The dude has a pretty wide range. I hadn't heard about the latest Bond news until just now. I can only imagine where that thread went.

Not exactly sure.
I thought Stringer Bell was supposed to be the new Bond.

I think it would have been better to have something different than just switching up the bonds. Go like rocky and have a new franchise created like Creed. It gets a bump from the franchise but holds the old shows kinda intact.

Our kids were all sleeping pretty good in that 3-6 months. You have to monitor some and differentiate the types of cries from hungry or diaper change to just not wanting to sleep. Let them cry out the not wanting to sleep ones some and they will figure it out.

Two things -

Neighbor's garage was broken into over the weekend. So that's kinda scary. Another house in our neighborhood as well. We found one of their garage openers in our lawn.

Then talking to parent and getting update on niece........new parent made a comment about being tired..........when they are sleeping at home at night right now with baby still here. They haven't even had to try feeding or diapering yet. I'm like oh boy, this could be quite the shock to the system when baby comes home! I wonder if anyone has told them the baby will poop overnight........multiple times..........
In our area, the break-ins used to be bad guys kicking in service doors so everybody put 2x4's across their service doors. The recent one's have been people breaking into cars and using the garage door openers. It's probably not super- smart in our neighborhood being that our block has a deputy police chief, a deputy sheriff, a highly-decorated Air Force pilot, a heavyweight golden gloves boxer and myself living on it. It's also north suburban Minneapolis so there are plenty of hunting weapons in various houses. I guess those are probably locked up and not instantly available.

Saw last night that a small town HS acquaintance back in Iowa is again sharing another scam with her friends and they are all responding "Oh, thanks. I've entered!" This is "Walmart" giving away a bunch of big screen TV's cause they got slightly cosmetically damaged in shipping. Just enter! Of course the "Walmart" company FB page for was this created on July 10 has only 100K followers and has the redflag of contacts ending with a .me suffix domain. o_O Ah, girl, the really Walmart page has 32M followers and has real contacts and a link to their webpage and tons of postings. You know, all of the legit stuff a real company page might have. Looked back today and see that FB did seem to have taken down that page.

Pretty sure they are going to get an email like "Congratulations, you won the 60" Sony! The TV's are in our Little Rock store and we will ship them to your local store after you pay us sales tax and shipping which we are legally required to obtain from you in this giveaway." And since they "entered" a "real" Walmart thingie I am sure many will cough up their credit cards. :rolleyes:

And, no, I gave up trying to correct these people even though this one is worse than the usual "Ray Bans for $20" thingie. At least they get sunglasses even if counterfeit crap for that one. You just get people mad at you no matter how nice you try and word a PM to them.

You're killing me, cowgirl. Stop it. Something tells me the 3 months between now and arrival are going to go entirely too quickly. We're just hoping wifey starts feeling better once the little guy arrives (aka not nauseous all the time).
She should be pretty much through the nausea now. That being said, she's probably getting pretty uncomfortable now.

I am hesitant to buy a cell on the Amazon deals. Seems some are international unlocked phones that come with issues such as wifi calling disabled and no warranty. The number of pissed off customers in the S9 comments was kind of eye opening. No guarantee their fire sale on S10 is any different. I really don't trust Amazon for stuff like this and I buy a LOT of stuff from them. My S7 screen started going to crap after less than a year and Verizon sent me another one in the mail within a couple of days under warranty. Forgot my quick charge plug at a hotel and paid more at Best Buy to get another because it seemed like half of the Samsung chargers on Amazon were pirate crap. Small expensive mass produced products are ripoffs bread and butter.

Full Disclosure: Have an older S7 still and doing some window shopping. Love the camera in this older unit but battery life sucks and it can overheat easy on really hot days when I am biking and running a bike app. Hardy though, dropped it off the roof last year with it landing on my porch deck without destroying it. Not sure newer would be better. And, it's essentially worthless as trade in now.
Is the S7 the one that randomly explodes?

You saying that I didn’t get a real Rolex for 20 bucks in Tijuana? I’m shocked I tell you, shocked.

I can't say how many times I open up facebook and see someone shared that stupid Ray Bans for $20 ad.

I just hope her license to kill number is either 00-10 or 00-69.

Wife always has unwashed stuff in the washing machine so we are always confused on what is going on, and we’ve found out it’s best not to ask, so none of us do laundry. (I guess a few times I will when possible because she will wash my two different styles of work clothes together and my professional style stuff gets oil stains at times). Whenever I open the dishwasher or dryer I will check the screens because I’ve had too many repairs to them and had lint traps that were so thick I had to fight them out.
As a male stripper, sometimes you have to look classy and sometimes you have to look trashy.
