Sister in Laws
With inlaws like mine....normally its MIL and FIL..now my SILs are at it.
SIL #1 walks into my house and says "oh my look at his ears, he looks like an elf..." I was upset, but ignored it..it would have been a long visit. I decided to let it go.
SIL #1 leaves my house, goes to FL to visit SIL #2...SIL #2 calls and asks "So everyone is saying Josh has pointy ears and looks like an elf, is it true?" Who the hell would call someone's house and ask that? 
My baby does have DH's ears..they are not pointy, he doesn't look like an elf...but its no secret, the baby has your own brother's ears! You have stared at the same ears your entire life!
I was also told that I should have been bought a bubble to put my baby in, the way I have been acting..I know 3 girls on the site who can vouch for me, they have held Josh. My family who doesn't have strep/stomach viruses have held Josh..
vent over, everything else is life is perfect. Baby is still a dream. My sister is here right now, she has been a great help. She leaves for NY tomorrow and my mother returns on Tuesday.
BFing is going great. My hospital grade pump is going back tomorrow..no more engorgement. I have the isis hand pump, works great, I have one bottle a day ready for DH to give Josh a night feeding when DH gets home from work.

Re: Sister in Laws
There is always something. Try and ignore them, it is not worth the stress.
I get offended with stuff like that too even when my mom says it. I think they feel llike they are family and can say what they want
I am glad everything else is going so well for you!

Re: Sister in Laws
oh Janice I'm sorry your SIL's said such things...people honestly don't think before talking sometimes - they think they are being cute or funny. Maybe they were teasing their brother?
Glad to hear things are going great otherwise
We need more pics of Josh!!!

Re: Sister in Laws
Aren't you glad your in-laws live far away? Ugh!! we got an interesting comment from BIL & SIL who visited a few weeks ago: They were talking to a retired pediatric nurse and they think she has colic because she needs to be burped after eating and sometimes cries so we should be using Mylicon drops to help with her colic.  She hardly cries at all excpet when she has her "moments," which are normal.
I'm glad BF'ing is going well for you. It sounds like you're being a great mom. Not bubble-like or overly cautious at all.

Re: Sister in Laws
I would have just said to SIL that he got his ears from your side of the family!

Re: Sister in Laws
I hear your pain with SIL's. Mine told me to nurse in her den which opens to the kitchen and tons of people kept walking by and going oh sorry. I have really big boobs discreet is not an option for me. When my DH found out what happened i thought he would kill her.

Re: Sister in Laws
Janice, he is adorable! I love his ears, they are perfect!
Dh also has big ears, so that was my concern. But, you know what...who cares? I don't notice them and neither should anyone else.
Steven has one of DH's ears (sticky outey) and one of my ears (NOT sticky outey, but very pointy)

Re: Sister in Laws
That is so ignorant of your SIL's to say that about the baby's ears. The next time they mention it I would tell them if they're going to insult the baby then don't call.
And don't they realize he's a NEWBORN and if there's any chance they are carrying strep they shouldn't be near the baby?
People are so ignorant. That's my new phrase these days!
Glad you are having a great time w/ the baby! Congrats!

Re: Sister in Laws
If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all.
I guess they never got that memo.

Ok first off he does not have Elf ears at all. I think his ears are perfect. He is Perfect all around. He is so cute.
Omg i can't belive his face changed from when i saw him at the hosiptal. He has gotten so much cuter and bigger.
Aww he is so cute.

Uggh! I know! The best is how they always think they know best.
My MIL always says how at 6 1/2 months that I don't need to burp DS anymore. Well it may be true for some babies but mine still needs it because he'll stop during a feeding for a burp and won't continue until he does. Has she ever heard of the expression "Mommy knows best". It just irks me cuz she says it everytime we see her.
And everytime I say "my son still needs to burp"...she'll continue saying "yeah but he's older now".
