I've been missing a diamond in my wedding band for almost 3 years. DH finally took it today to get it replaced and I gave him the other band and engagement ring to get cleaned while he's at it. I feel naked! It'll be weird to have the ring fixed.. I have a habit of putting them on in a certain way where the missing diamond is at the bottom left, and I'm sure I'll keep trying to do that for a while.
Right after I posted that my sister texted us that he crashed. They had to do compressions and reintubate him. He's doing ok now, but they are doing an X-ray to check things I guess.
Thank you so much for the tips and perspective, lfigge and wedding! I really appreciate it. lfigge, you are a pro. I am in awe at how well you handle it all! wedding, I think the going limp will freak me out a lot more than my H. I appreciate that heads up!
Hugs, tgrimes1980. I hope the medicine kicks in quickly. Try to take some time for yourself.
trtlcrzy, so scary! Glad things seem to be stablizing. Sending prayers.
wedding, with the melatonin, beware it may cause bad dreams/night terrors. This doesn't happen every time or even most times we have used it for L, but it has happened a few times. I hope it works well for you guys and results in more much needed sleep!
wedding we tried the zarbees melatonin. It helped H fall asleep so much faster, she was even yawning at bedtime. But when we first started it she was having accidents. We did it for 2 weeks to see it if would be like a reset for her but so far it doesn't seem to be one. Also, it didn't make her sleep through the night, it just helped her fall asleep faster.
Thanks guys. I just feel bad for my sister because she's up at the hospital alone. Her DH couldn't get out of work and my other sister and I are home with our kids. I think my older sister is going to go up there to see her for a little bit and I'm going to try and go up after DH gets home.

Hey everyone - just catching up now as I am getting ready to leave for the day.
tjhine, I love the idea of the quilt for T. How meaningful. I hope the closet project is going well. tgrimes1980 - hugs to you. trtlcrzy, yikes to baby O's scare but I am glad they have things under control now.
re. sleep - B's bedtime is 8.30. i think she falls asleep fairly quickly, but sometimes I hear her talking or singing to herself. She is up at 6.30. At DC, she takes a 1-1.5 hour nap but somehow never seems to want to do so on the weekends!

Good to know. C STTN and he's still in a night diaper. Did she have daytime accidents? He needs a push to go to sleep. He is tired but will stay up to play. Even without toys he will play with blankets, books, anything.
I'm pretty sure it was just night accidents. Maybe one or 2 during the day.
I got a phone call from C's school that her tummy wasn't feeling well. Thankfully, ::knocks on all wood:: she seems fine. Ate two helping of dinner, in good spirits etc. The designated throw up bucket aka. the halloween pumpkin bucket is up by her bed JIC.
Day 2 of putting the kids to bed earlier is working out, and they were both asleep by 7:05! Leaving me with plenty of time to hang out and watch, gasp, adult TV. I hope this keeps up, umm, forever.

Cadence bit her friend today. Same girl she hit on Monday and they apparently got in it yesterday as well, but no hits were thrown. Today the girl was hitting Cadence, so she bit her. They got separated to calm down, apologized, then went back to playing nicely with each other. They seriously are best friends, so I'm not sure why the fighting. I'm sure her mom is probably annoyed. I tell Cadence every day not to hit, bite, push or be mean. To be nice to her friends and if someone is being mean to her, to walk away. Cadence doesn't walk away.
klongoria11 - I wouldn't worry too much about the other Mom. We all know our kids give it and take it. Colin's "best friend" at daycare still bites him probably at least once a month. And who even knows how often Col shoves him? I love the kid and his parents, and we're always trying to get together outside of daycare. Because we're reasonable and know kids are going to kid.
mellochello we are on he same wavelength. I'm just getting around to responding to cagoldi's tag too haha. Emma is turning one soon and Dh is getting a vasectomy Friday and I'm having alllll the feels. My anxiety is still there, but better. I still have some unexplained health stuff so there is that always lingering. tjhine thinking of you today tgrimes1980 thinking of you too! I feel your pain. I'm always here Hope all the tots are staying healthy and sleeping, I liked Emma who doesn't believe in more than 3 hours at once
heymama I'm really late but just saw your question about the surgery. You may have gotten other answers but I'll chime in. B has had two procedures where he was put under. The first time (ear tubes, tongue tie reversal) wasn't bad bc he was scheduled at 7 am; we took him in his pjs and I think he was so surprised to be bundled up and out of the house so early that he didn't notice not eating or getting a drink. However the 2nd procedure was delayed by several hours bc another surgery ran long. He was barely two and and just didn't understand why I couldn't feed him. It was terrible. Luckily he eventually fell asleep while we waited. Hopefully that won't happen to you but if it does, you'll get through it and it will be in the rear view mirror shortly.
In my opinion, the Dr/nurses taking him back from our pre-op room to the OR was the worst part. He was crying a bit and it broke my heart. We weren't present for him being put under but I've heard from others that have been. Also, it's a bit scary when they bring them out still under anesthesia. Our doctor prepared me both times but it was still startling to see B so out of it. So prepare yourself for that if need be.
They're usually very grumpy and disoriented when they come out from under the anesthesia. There may be some tears, etc. Our nurses had snacks and a drink ready to go immediately and that helped, but maybe bring a couple favorites in your bag JIC. Kids are so resilient though, B bounced back from the anesthesia really quickly. Ate normal meals shortly afterwards, no side effects, etc. (Bring a snack for yourself, too, especially if you won't have another adult with you to bring you something).
Take any loveys/comfort items he might have, favorite toys or activities to distract him. B was about your son's age for his ear tubes/frenuloplasty and there wasn't much lag time, thankfully, so we didn't need any of the stuff I brought. Hopefully that will be the case for you! I'm sure your little guy will do great but stuff like this is nerve-wracking, esp when they're so little.

Sunny41 mh and I both work on Monday. It isn't a holiday where everything closes around here. I am taking the day off because the dc is closed for teacher training, but that alternates every other year with presidents day, which is also a holiday that my office doesn't close for.

Sunny41, pretty much everyone I know has to work Monday and doesn't get the holiday off. I thought most people just got Christmas, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day and Thanksgiving off.
It's a holiday for me (university) and MH (finance) since the stock market is closed. It used to be a floating holiday at my old job though. Depends on the industry/company.
I'm not guaranteed any holidays off. One of the cons of working in healthcare and after so many years it really doesn't faze me anymore. I am working Monday night, and forget it was a 'holiday' until this week when C's teacher reminded us they don't have school.
Finally catching up now... Back to work so everything's been crazy.
tjhine, don't let anyone make you feel bad and continuing to live your life. You are doing the best thing for yourself and for T and they need to understand that. It would not be healthy for T to grow up in a situation where you didn't live your life.
tgrimes1980 I hope the meds start working quickly!
cagoldi - S keeps telling me he has a tummy ache. But I don't believe him. I think it's just b/c I did last week and practically his entire class has had it over the past few weeks. So he just says it. He has been acting normal and eating normal.
re: weather - it was 12 degrees on Sunday and it's 57 degrees now. Crazy.
I know I missed a bunch of other people, since it took 2 days to read this.
klongoria11 S and his best friend fight all the time too. The teachers say they fight like brothers. But they play together all the time too. His BFF has biten him more times than I can count. And S has hit him plenty. We get together with his family all the time and no one cares. It's just how they are with each other. I wouldn't worry about the other family.
Re: Sleep I was just going to post asking this. Suddenly S has been waking up much earlier. I put him to be around 8:20 and he falls asleep anywhere between 8:30 and 9:30 depending on the night. He used to sleep till 7:30 ish, but lately it's been between 5:45 and 6:30. I don't let him get out of bed till at least 6:15.
He skips naps 2-3 times per week and when he does nap it's anywhere from 1.5 hours - 3 hours. Nap does not seem to effect night time sleep.
So I guess usually about 9 hours at night and 2 ish hours nap?
