LO had his 2wk appt today. I got a referral to the dentist for his lip tie. Dr is pleased with everything else. Everything is healed and he is up a pound from his birth weight.
So ex got 2wks off work since baby was born. I have not seen her since we left the hospital. I mean, she dropped us off, and left. It's just been me and LO since we got home. I'm ok with all of this actually. I'm an awesome mom and my kid is currently breezy af so it has worked out very well.
However, ex's supv's wife came over today to see baby and hang out. She asked where ex was and I told her I had no clue and hadn't heard from her in 2wks. I'm sure this is going to get back to her supv and I'm both nervous and excited about how things are going to shake out from here.
DH has appendicitis and has to be transferred for surgery. I'm really stressed out about balancing being here with him and having a newborn. This is terrible timing.

Oh no, I hope everything and everyone is ok!! Thinking of your family!
elm1214, t&p's for your hubs and your family! Do you have a friend or relative who can help pinch hit while your guy is down for surgery? How scary and what terrible timing; I am so sorry!

My parents are with the girls now. My ILs are driving up to be with DH/me. I am about to break down because I don't know what to do. Do I stay with DH or leave to take care of the baby?
She has reflux and is fussy all night, and I feel like my mom would be incredibly stressed out and would probably be up the entire night with the baby, after being worn out from having DD1 all day. But I feel like a terrible wife for not being there when he has surgery.
I seriously don't know what to do and I'm about to lose it.

Oh no! I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I hope he feels better soon!

I would go with YH. Your mom will have a rough night but she will be ok, and so will your baby. The baby is too young to know who is with her. YH will appreciate your support.
What a bizarro day. You ever find something out about an old friend who fell off the map for a while, and just can't understand how that person and that happening could ever go together?
Found out one of my oldest friends, used to be a very sweet, innocent, happy go lucky type, got himself into stupid trouble as a teacher with a teenager. He's been in prison for a couple years. His wife left him, of course. I just can't picture this guy doing something so incredibly wrong and dumb. He wrecked his whole life, and for what?
I postponed leaving my ex so I could stay in town long enough to watch him marry his now ex wife. I am just baffled. He gets out next year sometime. I hope he does something with his life afterwards.
Sorry, ladies, 100% not baby related at all. Just such a crazy thing to find out. For heaven's sake, this kid gave me my first (bubblegum flavored) kiss when we were 13. Gah.
So this seems silly when other people have real problems, but what a day! I had to give a deposition this morning, then we all went to help the in laws move into their new house (fun times with 2 babies), then I had to do bedtime by myself with overtired kiddos. Oh my goodness, that was hard! I am finally relaxing and catching up on posts here while attempting to nurse baby girl to sleep. Please sleep baby, or I'll see you all in the MOTN thread.

Baby's belly button somehow looks worse, since the ped applied the chemical to help dry it. It's... gross. I think I'll give it a day to see if it heals more, otherwise I'll go back. Don't want it to get infected!
Who was it that had this done? Was it @dclondon? Did you find the belly button healed quickly or that it took time?

elm1214 Oof! Big, big hugs to you!! I'm so sorry you're stressed dealing with this; seriously bad timing. For whatever it's worth, I don't think you can make a wrong choice about who to go with; I could see equally good arguments made for either way. Just make the best choice you can under these bad circumstances & try to let it go (I know easier said than done).
Omg, H is awful! I told him I was going to take a shower so he needed to be on alert in case baby cried. I left our bedroom door open so he could hear baby. As I am naked and about to get in the shower, DD and MIL walk into the bathroom area! I can't believe he didn't tell them not to come in!

We're having this same experience. I was going to ask about it at our appointment on Friday. Let me know what you find out.

Oh, Elm. You need to catch a break. :(
I agree with Boca. One night away from the baby won't hurt her and it might stress your mom out, but MrElm probably needs your support a little more right now. Once he's out of surgery and comfortably in a room, maybe he'll have you go home anyway. But I'm sure he'd love to have you there for him.
Thanks ladies. The transport team ended up coming quickly and taking him straight to surgery at the hospital. Everything moved pretty quickly. His surgery went well, luckily they caught it before it ruptured. So I stayed until he was out of recovery and settled in his room and got home around midnight. He should be discharged tomorrow.
It was just so stressful in the beginning because every time I called to update/check in, the baby was screaming in the background and it was so hard not to be able to comfort her. But thankfully she settled down for my mom after a while.
Ok potty training with a newborn officially sucks (surprising, I know). It's just been chaos. Then it got even crazier when DD1 got home. The first few days are the worst.
Then I was looking forward to DH getting home from work to help me, and he actually had to come home an hour early because he is really sick. Blah. Thank goodness for Panera delivery because I can't even think about making dinner.
OMG. Tuesday, that was mean! ETA aaaaaand then I read the rest of the thread. You poor thing. I am so glad YH is ok but so sorry about all of the chaos. Very poor timing indeed, appendix!
Side note: didn't Jesse on Full House have appendicitis while Becky was in labor? I guess that would be worse timing. Silver lining?

Yes that's true, the timing could have been way worse! It was also DD1's birthday party last weekend so I'm glad it didn't happen then too.
