Kiddo is 7 months old now... Woah! And my mom has convinced me to start planning his 1st birthday. I don't want to think about that yet. That would imply he's not a baby anymore. I'm not ready for that!

But he's on track developmentally for his birth date as opposed to his due date, so his pedi, H, and I are thrilled. He's loving purees and whole foods, sits up on his own for several seconds and started scooting (backwards). He's got his fussy/screaming moments, but otherwise he's so happy. He smiles and laughs at everyone and everything.

Today I got the letter in the mail that a my government student loans are officially paid off!

My kid is still in the 4 month range. Sometimes this board is really disorienting to me.

But, she's freaking adorable.

This must be an amazing feeling. I'm still working on mine lol.

I still owe my parents tons of money, but they don't charge 6% interest and they will give me as much time as I need to pay them off, as long as I am making a good-faith effort.

bocaburger, Congrats on paying off your government loans. How fortunate your parents were able to help you.
joy, what a cutie.

After the high of Saturday's march and reading about worldwide events, reality has set in about how the POTUS is even worse than I had imagined.

We got good news this week (TW)
After our loss in 2013, we were working on a malpractice suit against the doctors office. After all this time with lawyers, depositions, etc, the doctors have agreed to a settlement. I needed some kind of closure... and in my head, if they agreed to settle it takes away my sense of guilt that I did something wrong. I am so glad this is finally over for us!!

[hannahbear]

My power company stinks. Their repair guys broke more stuff via straight up negligence and lack of care. I am mentally worn out dealing. My heat is still out (thank Hod for space heaters).

While empathizing my mom incidentally reminded me that my grandparents had to flee their home and lose everything twice. It could be so much worse. But still, I am tired. Tired and grateful for space heaters.

The furnace parts ordering system was down today. Here is hoping the right parts come soon so we can resume some sort of normal life.
