I just gave B the "you've gotta be kidding me" face while trying to get her take her paci & nap (this has been going on for over 30min btw). Her response? She spat the paci out at me and GIGGLED. She might be a bit of a smartass. I have no idea who she gets that from.
C does the thing where he is almost completely asleep but the second I set him in the pack n play, he spits out the paci and gives me huge smiles and giggles. You are adorable, but go to sleep!!!
I'm at a loss on what the right thing to do is. DH's cousin shared a post on Facebook that included a photo of an 11 week old baby that had been miscarried. To say it was jarring and upsetting would be an understatement. It's the first time I've encountered this kind of thing on social media. I've been battling back and forth - do I send her a message letting her know that, or am I being extra sensitive because of my own losses and just let it be?
ETA: The photo was not hers, but a post she had shared from someone else.
What was the context of the post? Could she have shared it in an effort to shed more light on miscarriage? Is it possible she could be going thru a loss & instead of sharing her personal story she shared this? Does she know of your losses?
She is aware of our losses. The post was an anti-abortion rant. I think I'm most upset by using the tragedy of a miscarriage for that platform.

Oh fuck.
Yea that's not right and is completely insensitive. I would said something if it were me. And chances are you weren't the only one hurt by that obscene post.
The way i would look at it is if you (general you) can do something to help/protect another loss mom then it's worth doing.

Thank you - that was my thinking as well. Now to compose a message that communicates that without sounding like a bitch.

Traveling with a 4 month old is hard yo. He hasn't napped well since Wednesday so he's a screaming, fussy mess most of the time. He has bags under his eyes. We're also exhausted and can't wait to get home.

MH doesn't understand why I hate traveling now that we have kids. Uh, poor sleep = terrible trip maybe?
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race, and I ain't gonna lose.

So V is starting to figure out sitting up. She gets halfway there and gets super pissed that she can't get fully upright. Girl can't even sit unassisted yet so I don't know where this is coming from.

One of my fb friends just shared what I'm assuming was the same photo. It was hard for me to see and I haven't had a loss. I'm very sorry you are having to deal with this.

Baby is not here, but my dogs woke me up at 430 . They're sweet like that. So I'm pumping and my boobs are continuing their random production slowdown. It's really worrying me.
We were heading to my ILs to drop DS1 off on our way to visit some friends in Queens who just had a baby, and we broke down on the side of the highway. DS1 was flipping out but the baby was just chilling, LOL. My ILs got to us just before the tow, took DS1 with them, and left us their other car. So despite a rocky start, we're on our way.

Thank you. It shook me up quite a bit. DH saw it and was super pissed. He let her know (although he didn't communicate it in the best way), which led to her going off and also being super pissed. She turned it into the pain Olympics, and she was determined to win the gold medal. DH, his sister, and I all reported it, and are leaving it be.

I'm sorry hun that she reacted that way. I'm glad YH let her know how wrong it was (even if it wasn't diplomatically). The whole situation disgusted me, and this just makes it worse. I just don't get some people.

Is it too soon to determine if LO is gonna be a lefty? He grabs everything with his left hand .
Yes. I am still not 100% sure which hand is my 3.5 year old's dominate hand. I am pretty certain it is her right, but probably until she was 2.5 or more she used both fairly regularly. E also uses her left hand more than her right. DD1 did for a while because DH was insistent she was going to be left handed.

Also nephew puked not too long ago (9 year old.) He said it happens sometimes when he gets headaches. So we asked him to brush his teeth. Guess who had to dig for his toothbrush... I asked if he has brushed his teeth since he's been here. He said no.
Guise, it's been a week. I would be on this kid more, but I thought the teenager/niece sort of had things covered a little? Wrong assumption.

Thank you. The whole thing is just a mess and stupid. No further contact has been made, so it'll be interesting to see where things go from here. We only see her about twice per year, thankfully.

Haven't read the thread, but we took Bud out for his first restaurant experience and met up with college friends this evening. Bud absolutely hated something about the restaurant and screamed every time we tried to bring him in. We tried to narrow down the problem and eventually decided that it was the smell?
Anyway, it was lovely to see my girl friends and H was a trooper. We took turns hanging out with "DC" outside the restaurant. Now he's finally home and sleeping like a baby.

DanaScullyX I saw your post in the accident thread, what happened with M? Sorry if it's not recent and I missed it, but is she doing okay now?
It was in March. She has a large hemangioma on the side of her head (strawberry birthmark). Well it was also growing internally on the back of her throat. She started having trouble breathing, especially while eating. Luckily, we have a children's hospital with a hemangioma clinic and they figured it out. She had to be put under and have a throat scope twice and we were in the hospital for almost 2 weeks. She's on medicine that is literally working miracles.
So glad your adorable little girl had such good care. I'm so sorry you had to deal with such a scary incident!

paloslee, I am so sorry to hear about your MIL and your aunt. I hope your MIL gets well soon and your H's family finds better ways to deal with the stress. And may your aunt's memory always bring you joy. I hope being with loved ones for the funeral is a comfort to you and your father.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. My aunt's service was beautiful and I'm glad I got to see and spend some time with my family. It had been awhile since I've seen some of them.

Thank you. My MIL just got out of the hospital and she's doing much better. They believe she had a virus from either something she ate or from a mosquito bite. Something similar to meningitis.

We have a family bbq today and it's going to rain all day. I asked what the rain plans are. The response was to stay under shelter and let the kids play in the rain.... In an unfenced backyard. My dd is the oldest at 3.5 (there will be 6 kids 1.5-3.5 years plus 2 infants). So clearly us parents will need to be out in the rain too. I think the great aunts and uncles have forgotten you can't just send Littles (2 of which are major runners) out to play on the corner of a busy road while we all stay dry under cover. lol. Plus a big no to a bouncy castle in the rain. I'm hoping someone else points that out lol.
