They named him Daniel. Thank god since they were throwing around weird names for a bit.
6lbs 14oz 19in long
He is a peanut! She was told he was going to be huge. Thank goodness I kept all the NB stuff from DS and had it ready to go for her. They don't have anything ready at their house. So far I have a bouncy seat I just rewashed, clothes, scratch mittens, hats, receiving blankets & some baby towels all ready to drop off at her house.
I guess I'm the crazy one. I wouldn't leave C in the car in most of these circumstances. Not to run into UPS or USPS. I don't have push button start on my vehicle so I could not leave it running and lock the doors.
Part of my thought process is what if I trip and fall and pass out and no one knows I have a baby in the car? Babies here will die within minutes of being left in a car. It's just not worth it. I'll always take the extra time to get her out.
I very much doubt any of us would if conditions were such that the car was too hot to be safe.

100%. I have only left her for less than 2 minutes, and always within site (like the car is in the driveway and I'm walking to the front door), but would not do it if it were unsafe temperatures.

I found our day care provider.
She's a licensed foster home and has taken in three babies over the past few years, because she has a psych degree and has studied the effects of positive attachment during the early years and hates to think of these babies not forming those positive relationships. She always worked with disabled kids, taught K-6 before having kids, has infant CPR and first aide.
She has 4 girls, two of which will be in school. So she will have Layla plus her two girls, who will be 1 and 2. She said her house is too quiet without another kiddo so she loved my schedule and how it would be 2-3 days a week of watching Layla. So she won't take any other kids, just Layla. She also asked me if I was ok with the fact that she teaches her kids sign language so that they can sign basic things, and would like to make sure Layla knows it as well. She doesn't have a TV upstairs, so no screen time for kids. They have a giant backyard with so many play things, and they either play there, in the playroom inside, or go to parks or play centres.
I met her 5 year old and 2 year old today (her baby was napping), and they were so polite. They were eating lunch, and when the 2 year old is done she signs "all done" and pushes her plate and cup towards the centre of the table. The 5 year old got up with her dishes, brought them to the sink, thanked her mom, then took a cloth to help clean up her sister. I feel like seeing how the kids act is such a good indicator of if someone is just putting on a show or not, and these kids were so lovely.
She also only wants $50/day, meals included, so our daycare bill is only going to be $300-400/month depending on how many days I need her. This feels like a dream come true.

I finally finished reading the randoms, I've tried all day but I have a horrible cold that is making me miserable and O had been very needy since he's sick as well. H just came home and asked me if I want him to take O to his parents so I can rest, I do want to rest without having to worry about him fussing, but MFIL thinks O'd helmet is unnecessary and I'm worried he will take it off for the 3-4 hours he's there.
In regards to leaving babies in cars, I've left O in our car when I bring groceries into the house of take a shopping cart back. The car is always on since our car is keyless, so I can keep the key with me at all times. I've had 1 too many dreams of leaving him locked somewhere and having CPS called on me, not fun.
It was one of those days. I think that he hasn't cry that much since birth. The little thing upset him and then he goes for a 1h cry fest. I ended putting him in the stroller and going to the liquor store to get wine. I'm done.
Tomorrow, I have a 5 hours kidney test at the hospital and I'm actually looking forward to some alone time. Whatever.

The liquor store with a grumpy baby sounds like a wise decision.
There was another girl with a baby his age looking at wine. We shared a "I got you" look
emejay, Jacob cried at the littlest things today too. I started laughing about it after he melted down b/c I closed my laptop b/c he was banging on it. Sorry kid, Momma likes her Mac.

I need sleep so bad. I just grabbed a pad went into the bathroom and it was a diaper in my hand. Yes I keep my pads on the changing table shelf and yes I am still scared of tampons.

Fearsy, I have those same fears when I'm bathing F alone in the house. Like what if I pass out and he is left in the bath alone and could drown?? Mom-fears are so tiring.
trackgirl you definitely don't look pregnant, she's an idiot. Also, I am amazed and impressed with how many toys you have for your kids. I'm now looking at toys to buy F because I feel like I don't have any!!
I mentioned awhile back about the whole carseat issue on American and how they made me invert it so that a passenger couldn't recline. Some of you suggested going to social media, and I went to Facebook which only got them to respond to my original email (I sent two that went unresponded until I wrote on their wall). They comped me 10,000 miles, but that isn't close to the ticket price I paid for F's seat. My sister suggested I go to Consumerist. I don't like to make a big deal, but I thought, what the hell. Well they wrote me back and they want to publish my story. EEEKKK. MH thinks I'm crazy, but they want to highlight my experience and address airline rules about safety for infant and toddlers, so I feel like in the end, this is only positive for everyone. (Well...except for American. Oh well.)

I know it's scary but I think you should have them write the story. That's a big problem that needs to be addressed.

I second this. After seeing the article Fearsy posted, I think airplane safety is something that definitely needs more attention
