Just snuggled S back to sleep. MIL is coming over in about an hour to hang out with him while I finish the wrap I'm making for my friend whose little girl came early. We're throwing her a shower next week since we had to cancel her original one and I really need to get this shiz done. I so wish S would take a bottle and I could just drop him off with MIL for the day. That would make things so much easier. Le sigh.
FlutterOfYoshis What play mat did you get? I'm looking for one.
michelle142 I've never done Stitch Fix, but know people that do and like it. I have a coworker who has hers shipped to the office, so it's fun to see what she gets. I'm pretty sure that the money you pay for the box goes towards any items you keep, so as long as you keep something you don't lose out on money. And if you keep everything you get a discount on the items. They have cute stuff, but I will say that a lot of it is more than I would pay for items, which is why I don't do it.
mands1125 I'm wondering mostly about the cost of the items. I can't really afford a $50 shirt, you know? So I'm trying to figure out if this is a worthwhile thing. My wardrobe is about 10 years behind the times.. lol
hahaha well then it will probably be in fashion again soon!
LOL true.
My sisters 80's fashions came back, so I guess there's hope for the 90's too.
Yesterday was so busy but so good. DS saw a paediatrician and she was so amazing. He has referred to the big children's hospital for an assessment of his vision because of his lazy eyes (as his right eye improved his left eye position changed?) and another referral for his head. He is a good candidate for helmeting but may not have huge results. We are willing to try it anyways. She also loaded us up with new information and samples of ezcema cream. She was so great and I am feeling so happy to move forward with some of his health items.
Question: Her charting of DS was weight/height/head were different from my family Dr. Hers showed DS at 50% for height and weight and just off the chart for head. She said this would be reviewed again at his vision and orthopaedic assessments. Anyone else have babe with a large head compared to body percentage? I had no idea this could be a thing.
Glad the appointment went well!
My DS has a big head compared to his body. At his 4 month appt, his head circumference was 99% and weight was 46%.

90s fashion is totally coming back. I've recently seen a resurgence of those black stretchy choker necklaces that were all the rage back then. Its so funny how stuff like that makes its way back. The 20 year fashion rule is so true.

mrsclark731, I'd go, but I'd try to find a travel time that was both convenient (or reasonably so) and likely to result in lighter traffic. But when I visit my parents, I deal with DC area traffic, so my experiences are based on that (every time is bad for traffic and there's always construction on the beltway). If I couldn't plan for a time like that, I might put it off until the demand for either of those directions dropped.
Last day to work in my classroom before students come on Monday. SO MUCH to do, so little time, and even smaller motivation. I need to get off here and FOCUS!

I hope PIPE jeans don't make a comeback.
Man, you could fit a whole family in those.
I definitely don't miss those, either. I've also seen 90s fashion coming back, like those see through plastic shoes, someone was wearing those yesterday. Next step, 2 strings hanging gel'd over your face instead of bangs. YUCK.

I guess I'm going to bail on my sister. I don't feel like spending the entire day away from home. ill see her on Tuesday. She is already guilt tripping me, but whatever. I'm the one with the 5 month old.
I need to get a new phone this weekend. My old iPhone 4 is dying. It's turning off randomly with 40% battery telling me it's dead. I'm going to get an iPhone +
I took a work from home day so I could go back to sleep until about 1045. it was amazing. so unproductive though working now. Hoping the coffee kicks in soon!

pitdigger, aggiebug, DC traffic is no joke. I have family in Vienna and BIL lives in DC.
Off-peak hours in the summer on the turnpike and 95 by me don't exist either. I'm straight up scared for the Papal visit in a couple weeks. H is trying to plan his NYC office visits and it's proving difficult. My old college roommate is due with her first the week of the Pope's visit and is delivering at UPenn. She's a nervous wreck.
It's 4'x6'. It took me a while to actually buy it cuz it was pricier than your typical foam letters, but in reading reviews about the letters coming apart and being more difficult to clean, I knew my lazy butt would be better at taking care of this pingko one instead. It's also reversible and DD likes all the bright colors and characters. My only complaint is that when I leaned on my elbows while playing, I left a bit of a dimple in the mat, so now I've gotta be more conscious of the weight pushing down on my pointier joints lol.

I was opening up my blinds this morning.... And I discovered a new form of wildlife chilling in my yard. At first glance I thought it was a female turkey.... But then I zoomed in:
mrsclark731 this is when I am glad I live about an hour outside of the city and H doesn't commute in. I tell all my friends to come in October or late September, not that they listen but I try.
If I was your friend I might hsbe considered a hotel near the hospital. It might be a fleeting consideration but I guarantee it would have crossed my mind.

A heron? We have those at the lake house! They're cute!

dreemkin, I think so! It was very tall--way bigger than a turkey. Turkeys are also never alone like this fella was. It was so pretty to watch... He hung out for a while and let me watch him from the deck with DD
edit--I don't live super close to a body of water. The retention basin a little ways down the road is probably the closest...but it doesn't have water in it right now. Maybe he was lost.

Glad you had a good apt!
My friend took her daughter to Sick Kids for an assessment and they got a helmet. The scans they do should be really great for determining the best way forward.
