interesting... i'm glad to see she didn't feel bedsharing cured the reflux- b/c that is the first thing I was thinking- that it WASN'T reflux if sharing a bed cured it.

That girl is out of her mind, luckily I have only read one post before.  I think she actually believes that she is the first person in history to have a baby with bad reflux or the only one that wanted to only sleep with Mom and Dad.  NUTSO.

I have so many snarky things to say, but I am trying not to be a "mean girl" anymore

I am curious if the baby was making choking, gurggling sounds how did sleeping with them fix it?

out of her mind for sure. I had to LOL that she was so freaked about giving gripe water... b/c it would disrupt the flora and make her get infections... OH LORD.

I rolled my eyes so many times while reading that.  At least she's admitting that caring for a newborn isn't a walk in the park.

Alright, now I'm done. This girl is an idiot. Thousands of babies don't sleep with their moms AND have reflux and somehow  they manage to sleep through the night. I'd know, I had one. This girl is seriously just to much for me to handle. One minute she's saying gripe water will ruin the FLORA of her intestine and give her infections and the next she's willing to do ANYTHING to make her comfortable. Asshat. I can't. That's the last time I read this ninny's blog.

I find her so entertaining! I big puffy heart her blog, lol.

She doesn't annoy me as much as a mom as she did as a pregnant lady, tbh.i mean, the fauna thing is pretty funny, but I think she's just honest about her feelings. I mean, the are dozens of posts here each week from girls who think their kid is the only one not to eat, or not to sleep,or to get a cold. She's no different, she's just more public and out there about it.

I was seriously cackling out loud when I read this part!

I feel like she's going to make herself out to be a martyr with this baby.

I don't get if it was reflux then how come bed sharing cured it??  So basically she is going to nurse and blog?

exactly. you know how many women on her acted like their kid was the second coming of Christ and obsessed over every detail.  Its the nature of first time motherhood and we all did it on some level. Some still haven't gotten past it. But crucify her since it makes everyone feel better.

I simply don't get the attraction. We all were nervous nellies, obsessive first time parents once upon a time.

 She doesn't annoy me at all, in fact I find her extremely amusing.  I do think though that coming here to a message board to ask questions or commiserate with others is totally different than blogging your entire life & sounding a bit foolish while doing it.

I miss all the snarky comments.  BORING!

totally absolutely 100% ditto to Amy and Kelly.  How quickly everyone forgets. I have read my fair share of posts here that have been the exact same or more neurotic, panicked or obsessive as hers.  What's with all the superiority 'Tude?

Cara, don't you know if you choose to BF your child but complain about having sore boobs and being tired from lack of sleep due to BF, the first week of your first child's life, it means you can't possibly handle motherhood.  So, we are just hearing from all the obviously wonderful mothers here who popped their babies out and never had any issues.

BeachBaby07

I think the "superiority tude" comes from all of her prior postings that made her seems like she was going to be a much more superior mother because she read all these books and didnt leave her home for 9 months, only ate vegan organic, and obviously loved her baby much more, etc etc and her superior tone made everyone want to smack her around. She didnt go into the experience writing about the shared experiences all new moms have, she assumed that her experience would be somehow better and richer because she knew all this stuff and did all this extreme stuff to prepare. And I am sorry but I cant let it go that she sets up photo shoots for herself almost daily and spends a large chunk of her day taking her own picture, photoshopping and posting them, like that is totally normal

U know.. this girl doesnt get on my nerves with her making it all about her.. cause thats how she feels.. before the baby is here.... thats fine with me.

And she is a new mother..most of us have been there.. new mom, not knowing what to expect.. and then BAM youre hit with a crying baby , no sleep, trying to recover...and NO CLUE what to do... and your head filled with ideas of how you want to raise your child... that are possibly on the obsessive side...

She is learning.. just like the rest of us.. why is it getting under everyones skin?

yes the ones who knew how they were going to raise that child through to adulthood once they were in their second trimester and they were going to do the best job possible. There are alot of haters lately I agree with you.

i'm with Amy, Kelly, Cara and Rachael on this one.

I think there's a huge difference b/w coming on here to vent, to ask for help, or to look for commiseration on new mom tribulations, and this blog girl who even now in her desperation, has no humility whatsoever.

 

LizDP

I'm not a hater by any means, but I do find her amusing. Obviously I've come onto this board during pregnancy and afterwards with some *silly* questions, we all have at some point. But this chick is a bit beyond ridiculous and she's putting it out there, so we can make fun if we want to... She obviously enjoys the celebrity and notoriety.

natalie042205

Yeah I don't get the hate either. yes her pg blog was a bit much and the flora thing is a bit loony, but as someone who was a new breastfeeding mom just a few months ago I can totally relate to that post. those first few weeks trying to figure it out were so hard, when your baby is literally attached to you all.day.long. She's just a new mom trying to figure it all out, much like we all have been.
