chrispy1122 that sound awful! So glad he's okay. DS had a good head bump with a cut and daycare called me on Friday about it. It looked worse than expected when I picked him up. Boys.
So zoo lights- we got there at like 5pm, no wait other than traffic being slow on the interstate. We parked in the main lot pretty close and got in there and got some hot choc and a snack. By that time, it was dark around 5:30- hit the train first, then 6:30 is the "show" in wings of wonder. Get out of there by 7:00 or 7:30. We will probably go again mid week, same time.

Definitely sounds like Friday night is a better option than Saturday!
dogmama22 any advice for my SIL who is probably having a C-section, and her bedroom and bathroom are upstairs in her house? How did you survive?
I'm not dogmama, but throwing in my 2 cents. She could probably just camp out upstairs with baby and have everything brought to her if her H or someone else is around. I did more walking up the stairs than I should have, but its manageable. She could also just scoot up/down the stairs on her butt if its too much. I really wish I could have found a ranch, bc even with recovery, just going up and down stairs with new baby is a pita. That's probably why I've bought 2 of a lot of stuff, so one is upstairs and another downstairs.
JoBub, chiming in as well. It's definitely manageable. We have two of everything so when I woke up in the am -- H would bring A down and I'd hang out on the couch all day. When my parents were with me they brought her up and down the steps. I actually didn't have any trouble going up or down but didn't over due it of course. If she plans the days or doubles up it will be just fine. The big thing with a c is that she needs to "walk" herself while in the hospital to get used to it.

I had family with me for 2 weeks, so that made a huge difference, but had its negatives as well.
Every morning when we woke up, I would try to gather everything I'd need from upstairs - a couple of outfits each, burp cloths, bibs, etc. I'd go to the bathroom and then head downstairs to camp on the couch and only go back up if I needed to use the restroom.
I had a diaper changing area, boppy and a baby sleep surface for both floors so that I wouldn't have to haul too much back and forth. I had other people do all of the laundry for the first few weeks because it's in the basement.
Make sure she gets a belly binder before she leaves the hospital and high waisted underwear for once she's home. I may think of more later.
I LOVED the high waisted undies from the hospitals OMG I forgot about those she needs to stock pile those and gloves JoBub,
Aww poor O. Did you have to go to the emergency room?
Yes, we went to the children's ER/urgent care in liberty township. They are so nice there. O also didn't cry during the stitches, but melted down when we turned the iPad. Of course!

sstwinklinglites thought of you since I got a happy planner the other day at michaels. I really really like it. I like that it is more customizable and way cheaper than the plum planner I got. I like all the insert options. I'm going to get the fitness insert one of these days so I can get back on track in a few months. dogmama22 are you still doing bullet journal?

I fell off in Nov. but picked it back up today. Just put in my bills and stuff but it's so handy. I always buy stuff for it with coupons at Michael's, so it's way cheaper than most other options.
