New week, soon to be new year!

We had a pretty serious discussion about weight loss last night and now DH is a grump. I'm not sure if they are related.

I got the echo dot and Philips hue. Both are pretty cool so far.

James got way too much. I need a toy chest for him.

Backstory: My mom's love language is gifts and she loves jewelry.

My dad gave my mom a gold necklace for Christmas and she didn't even pretend to like it, instead asked why it wasn't whatever she was looking for instead. It was a simple piece of jewelry, nothing gaudy or atrocious. My heart breaks for my dad because he tried so hard to get her something she would like, and I can't even imagine how he feels with that response.

Sorry for the ramble, I just had to get that out somewhere.

We were supposed to celebrate Christmas with my side of the family this afternoon. Instead DH and I have spent it in the ER with J. She rolled off the changing table this morning and was acting off even after getting Tylenol. Turns out her left femur has a transverse fracture. She has a plaster cast to help stabilize it so she's not in as much pain.

Oh my goodness, poor girl! Fx she heals up quickly!

Oh my goodness. I hope she has a speedy recovery.

How scary. I hope she's doing ok

[ltlbandito]

Thanks guys. She's doing okay. She's definitely still in pain and can only have Tylenol. I learned today that ibuprofen can slow down the healing of bones. We're supposed to travel home tomorrow... Thankfully she only has to have the cast on for three weeks.

Plumbing went out downstairs at my parents (where we are staying), so it's probably a good thing we are heading out today as the plumbers are going to be down here all day...

So, December got drunk and thought it was May. Christmas day it was 80 degrees. Earlier last week, it was 40. Because of the crazy temp swings, both W and I are sick. H is supposed to backpacking tomorrow and all I want is to sleep. Bleh.

[peachesncream]

Christmas was a lot of stress and not a lot of fun and I am just glad it is over and sad that I feel that way. Bah humbug. C was an angel most of the time but my 2 year old A... not so much.

C still has no teeth. Not surprised since her sister didn't get any until just before her first birthday. C is standing independently all the time now, she can even stand in the middle of the room with nothing to hold on to. We are in big, big trouble.

ltlbandito sorry to hear about J, hope that leg heals quickly!

We had a very nice Christmas with my family this year. It was low key, drama free, and quiet. Perfect in my book.

Yesterday we had family pictures in the morning. That's all my mom wanted for Christmas. They went mostly well, but it was freezing cold. DS2 struggled a bit with his sensory overload, but I think we still got good ones. H and I went out to see The Passengers in the afternoon- I really enjoyed it! I think it's a great date movie. Then we went grocery shopping to get all the things we'll need the next 2 weeks at my parents'.

H and my dad left this morning to take our car to Baltimore to get shipped to Hawaii. It took them forever to get there and they think traffic will be worse later. It's only 120 miles away, but they are expecting it to take 4-5 hours. Ugh. I owe my dad big time. But at least the kids didn't have to be involved in that mess. I've been lounging most of the day, with some laundry and cleaning up thrown in there.

Hi ladies. Not sure if any of you were on parenting today but I'm worried about Shakey jakey (not going to tag because not sure if she deleted). Can we try to reach out to her? She might need clothes, shoes, toys, food? SheilaTheTank do you know anything?

I caught the thread earlier but that was hours ago. I messaged her asking if she needed anything (cash or gift cards, I can't ship anything to her) and she said she is currently fine financially.
I missed where she currently is at the moment.


I do have her on Facebook so can also reach her there.

I was in the thread in then all of a sudden it said it was deleted. So not sure what happen? I know she was going to stay with her mother but it still seemed unstable for her. If you hear anything or if she doesn't mind us sending her something, I'd like to. Thank you

[peachesncream]

Yes, I was just going to start a thread on the private board about this! I went to catch up and it was gone. Sending all the love, shakeyjakey. Please keep us posted.

I missed it, but I hope everything is ok. If there's anything I can do, please let me know.

The first night we were home LO slept just as well as she does at home. The second night was the great food poising/stomach bug night (H and I not LO) but even with all the commotion she only got up twice. Now she has been up 4+ times every night since then and been waking up super freakin early. I'm hoping now that I'm eating again my supply will rebound and it was just that. Ugh so sleepy.

My aunt is being taken off of life support on Saturday. We weren't close, but I'd like to be there for my dad. However, I'm not sure taking J to Texas is what's best for him. He is finally well again. I don't really want to expose him to anything if I don't have to. I certainly wouldn't be able to take him to the hospital to see her. The weather this time of year is unpredictable. I've gotten stuck in the middle of New Mexico for a couple of days before because all the highways in and out were closed. We could fly, but we would have to get a car seat and pack and play for my dad's house and germs. I don't really trust DH to take J by himself. I'm sure that's flameful, but he's on several medications and breathing treatments and DH often has the memory of a fruit fly. My dad is good with whatever I decide, but I feel horrible not going.

Children's Hospital hasn't called to schedule all of J's appointments. I left a message the other day and will call again today. I'm annoyed.

J got a prescription for Prevacid, but it has to be compounded so CSV couldn't fill it and insurance won't cover it. I have to call his pediatrician's office. Again, I'm annoyed.

[jewel441]

@pennycandy you have to do what's best for LO, try not to feel bad about it. My grandmother passed away while I was in my third trimester and I wasn't able to go home for the funeral bc I was on bed rest. I felt so guilty, but no one in my family blamed me, they all understood. It's tough but the your LO and his health come first. I am sorry about your aunt.

[paloslee]

@pennycandy I'm sorry to hear about your aunt. Hugs

For anyone here who wants to help SJ please message misspatty and she will put you on the list.

We should probably keep any conversation on the topic on the private board and should keep this public board a safe space for SJ.

[SheilaTheTank]

ltlbandito yikes! That's awful. Poor baby, hopefully she recovers quickly. This is going to make me think twice about leaving k unattended while I grab something on the other side of the room.

Im probably an awful person for saying this but im betting her tiny cast is the cutest thing ever.
