This is me today. Things got heavy quick last night. Our neighbor friend stopped by and asked for prayers last night. Her husband's cousin's 1 year old mysteriously didn't wake up this weekend and they had to make the tough decision to pull life support last evening. I was overwhelmed with sadness for that little family, and obviously suddenly scared to death for my own baby. I clipped the Snuza monitor on DD for the first time to ease my mind, but that was a mistake. Pretty sure it vibrated to wake her up at least 4 times and the last one DD was crying before the alarm went off at 3:42, because it just didn't stay on right. I took it off (she was looking at me like "uh, what's this weird terrible thing Mom??), but I cuddled her a little closer as she nursed. She's back asleep, but I'm wide awake for now, thankful she's ok but praying hard that she's safe from anything unexpected in the night.
Incidentally, today is my 30th birthday (though I'm technically not 30 til 1:16pm :-P). It's just another day over here, but I'm trying not to let the new decade bother me. I still get mistaken as one of my high school students, so I try to remember age doesn't matter lol

FlutterOfYoshis, Also, props to a harry potter meme. I fucking love Harry Potter. I am considering rereading it for the 600th time. I can't wait to read it to my LOs.

I was actually just thinking about retreading the series yesterday! My kindle won't charge and the books I requested from the library are taking forever... Anyone have any must read suggestions for the end of the summer? I suppose I should do something with my free time besides pin classroom things I will probably never do and take ridiculous photos of my baby. I have girl on a train on hold at the library.

While I was pregnant I listened to all the audiobooks. It was great. I actually hadn't gone back and read #1 or 2 in a long time. It was a great way to go back and forth to work.
Girl on the train was ok. But not a fave. (It reminded me of gone girl a lot and like that one I didn't particularly like anyone in the book)

Please send good vibes today-- I know it is standard procedures-- but because LO has had 2 UTIs very close together, she is having an ultrasound and urine flow test to make sure that structurally there isn't an issue. She has to be fasting which makes me sad-- she just boobed it and hopefully that will keep her going until her appointment! I just hope all is fine and that the tests come back normal.

missys I saw that you tagged me in yesterday's SPAM thread, figured I'd reply here instead.
Sorry I keep going AWOL! I keep getting wrapped up in different things and just haven't been popping in here as much as I used to. I've been busy with DD (of course) and working on my video game project (and playing other games for 'research' ).
Everything is good over here. DD's naps are getting better, less and less crying before she falls asleep. And we're just starting to learn how to eat purees now that she seems more ready.

toadandbuggie omg I can't wait to share HP with this little one! I've read it so many times, but it will be that much more magical reading it to my daughter. Also, I feel the same way about pinterest lol.
FlutterOfYoshis your neighbor's story is so heartbreaking and terrifying. T&Ps to them. ------ felt like we needed a break before Happy Birthday!! emilyz320 a recent read I loved was Uprooted by Naomi Novik. boxerrrmama85 T&Ps for LO to tolerate the procedure well and for good results!
Still sending get well vibes to WittyLittle & @nolagal households!

My spam of the day: I've already hit Wal-Mart for DSD2s bday stuff, currently sitting in toysrus parking lot nursing and being sung too by DSD2 cause they don't open til 10 and I NEED a foam puzzle mat to block the fireplace slate off from wiggle worm over here. This nice older lady told me how beautiful my kids are then asked how old DD was I told her and said she's HUGE (she's really not) and that means I'll be pregnant soon. .WTF...also I got my swimsuit. I had to get a two piece because my milk makers requires a size 11/13 and my butt at 3/5.. I'm not happy about it. DH joked and said I looked like Dolly Parton
FlutterOfYoshis, Happy dirty thirty! And prayers for your neighbor's family. boxerrrmama85, good luck today! Prayers that LO handles the fasting and testing well and that everything is okay!

So teething is the reason my child was up 4x last night and hes not developing even worse sleep habits right? His bottom two teeth are almost poking through you can feel them.
We need to sleep train but I cant if hes in teething pain. I have a serious aversion to hearing this kid scream.

Send all of the coffee
This was my EXACT night. Literally word for word. I'm not sure if I need to start sleep training asap or if it's the teeth that are trying to poke through but I'm having anxiety over the fear he's learning these bad sleep habits because of teething. I don't know what to do.
