I am so flipping tired of the rain. And tired of waking up worried every day about my friends in Texas and if they've flooded yet. (Speaking of flooded places in TX, aggiebug how are your parents?)
Working the 1-11:30pm shift today through Friday :/ I got choked up last night knowing I will miss bath and bedtime the next 3 nights. I hope he goes down easily for DH.
I've always liked tapatalk despite its flaws, but in this last update they moved ads from the top of the screen to in threads. They look like posts! It's awful.
My spam is long. It's what I posted on facebook this morning.
A year ago today is the day DD stopped being sick, literally overnight.
She had been throwing up for months. She went from almost 17 pounds to 11 pounds. We had spent two weeks in the hospital where she underwent dozens of tests. They could never figure out what was wrong. She was only released because she had gone about 6 hours without throwing up more than she was taking in.
I had never counted calories so closely in my life. We estimated that she was taking in less than 30 calories a day.
I had pictures of her with her stomach sunken in and you could see all her bones, especially her ribs.
Unless something was done soon, her pediatrician said she wasn't going to make it. So we met with a specialist to schedule a Nissen procedure to literally keep her from throwing up ever.
This morning, a year ago, I fed her a 5 ounce bottle, fearful of when it would all come back up. It never did. I did the same thing several times that day and it all stayed down. The previous day, everything came back up.
I am so blessed to have my baby here today. She is a happy, healthy, typical 1.5 year old. You would never know how sick she was.

Night two of cold turkey no swaddle and were up about 20-30 minutes earlier for our overnight bottle, and it took about twenty minutes for him to fall asleep vs his usual insta sleep, but I'll take it!!!
I will get better with it and it's definitely good for DH to spend more time learning how to settle and bond more with DS like you said lilyelayne. We work variable shifts, so it's going to take a while to find our groove/new normal for all of the shifts.
We have to pay for 3 days at daycare no matter what and we are already taking a week off in a few weeks and another in the fall. So, we are taking DS today through Friday as well. He's usually tired, so hoping that makes things easy on DH. He does whatever I ask of him. He just doesn't have near as much practice. That's my fault too Bc I just run to do whatever needs done.
Oh my junebugjam that is rough! I hope you can find some time to rest today and they tonight is better!
I hope from our long weekend trip. H left today for an overnight work trip hopefully will be back tomorrow afternoon and his parents get here early Friday. I have so much to do in these 2 days.

I'm all screwed up this week. My schedule is all out of whack because of the holiday. Then throw in random week night appointments for hair cuts and the chiropractor and with the Pastor for baptism prep... Ugh. I feel like I'm running constantly. I just want to SIT.

That's amazing. I can't imagine the hell you went through! So strong!!!
misshart00 that would be a terrifying experience to go through for everyone involved. I'm happy to hear she is just your typical 1.5 year old. That's a great feeling

Hey ladies! It's been a while since I've posted, but since DD has a new habit of sleeping on me all the time now after nursing (yay growth spurts...), I just thought I'd say hello!
junebugjam I feel your pain. DD just did this last night. We went from her peacefully sleeping in the rock n play at 1 month, to only sleeping in her swing at 2 months, now at 3 months to sporadic sleeping patterns usually on DH or me if she can get it. It sucks cuz she was finally just starting to sleep in larger chunks of time. So much for that. ::yawn::
misshart00 Wow, I can't imagine going through that kind of ordeal. I'd be a total wreck being worried all the time. Congrats to both you and your LO for your strength to make it through!
lilyelayneanchovies not hungry or congested. Best I can tell it's just sleep regression. He's not been sleeping well the past two weeks but last night was rough. No amount of swaddling could help him. I switched swaddles in the MOTN to no avail. I'd love to unswaddle but I don't think that's the problem either.
We just napped for an hour, now off to get an oil change.

Random - our neighbors just had a baby girl last week!
They're very quiet and keep to themselves, much like DH and myself. They're not originally from the area and it seems like they don't know many people. They are my age. I'd love to get to know them better, I think it would be nice to have that "next door" support/friendship.
I'm pretty shy myself, but these 2 seem painfully shy. What would be the best way to approach this? Just show up on their porch and be like "howdy neighbor! Let's be buddies!"?

Can you make cookies or dinner for them and take them over?

A freaking men! I'm over it. We need good weather for this weekend so I am hopeful. (Quinn's christening is Saturday!)
