Thanks everybody. The local cops and firemen kicked ass and the other guy is clearly at fault. He is also ok which is good, so no one is hurt. Except my car. The weekend has been all about relaxing after that. Plus im trapped until i get my rental. And, looking on the bright side, i got to get a girly new car seat for dd and one without food stains for ds. (Silver linings??)
So I know Ive been absent but yesterday was awful. DD and I were in a car accident where we got t boned in an intersection. She is fine thank god. My verves are shot. I am so thankful ds wasnt in the car because it was his side that got hit and his car seat got moved to the middle of the car. I almost threw up seeing that.
Ive just been snuggling both kids the last 24 hours.

Ava went 7 hours between feedings last night! I actually got some sleep in there! Too bad the 7 hours didn't start till later so I could've slept through all of it, but I will take what I can get!
I was able to get out of the house and get to a LLL meeting today. I wore DD in the Moby wrap and she slept the whole time. Then we went to the store to pick up my prescription and get a PSL. She stayed asleep until right before we got home. It was fabulous!
Also, got the advice to leave the house entirely the next time H tries to give DD a bottle so that she doesn't smell me. We'll see if that works. Fingers crossed because I would love some me time.
Delilah takes a bottle much better if I'm not home

manda1214 so freaking glad y'all are ok. I HATE being in the car because I'm terrified of car accidents. I hope you enjoy your snuggles but I imagine you are pretty sore right now.
So I haven't posted in a couple days because my MIL is in town, but Ava has slept through the night the last two nights in a row!!! Down around 9-10, up at 4-5 for a feed and a change and then down again until 7-8. And this coming from a baby that hasn't given me more than three hours of sleep in the six weeks since she was born. All this time I have read about your babies sleeping these long stretches and I have felt like Rachel and Phoebe from friends when they are discussing how jealous vs. happy they are for Monica. So I hope I'm not making any mamas out there feel bad if your baby has never slept a long stretch, but I hope instead that I give you hope that it will happen! And it will be amazing when it does! This whole post has probably jinxed me for tonight...yikes!

Dealing with a sick man child, while being trapped 24/7 with LO and avoiding all possible germs makes me a bitch. I've resorted to watching videos all day. Here's another one for all yalls viewing pleasure.
Laughing more because this reminds me of my boy crazy threenager self.
ChrissDee Mine, too. What do you do for migraine prevention? I hate to say I take topamax, but between that and doing a low tyramine diet and avoiding other food triggers the past three years have been way better than the 12 years before that.
I used to take topamax, but had to stop. It left me in kind of a daze, tired all the time. Now I try to avoid food triggers, and I do my best to avoid environmental triggers (florescent lighting, driving at night, etc) but that is a bit harder. Now I just take exedrine migraine whenever I feel one coming on, and if I have the ability to at the time I either lay down in a dark room or put my feet in warm water and a cold cloth on my forehead or back of my neck.
I definitely got spoiled when my migraines went away during pregnancy. I think I'm just going to have to stay pregnant if I want to keep them away. (I'm kidding, of course... although it is a little tempting.)
I always warn people to be careful with excedrian migraine and other NSAIDS. I would take excedrian migraine or ibrofren about once a week. It caused a bleeding ulcer that caused me to lose a ton of blood, be hospitalized for a few days and 4 blood transfusions. I'm not allowed to take anything like that anymore. I couldn't walk more than a few feet without passing out. thankfully my husband got my text which read "I think you should come home. I just threw up blood" he had to call 911 and I went by ambulance. I'm not sure why I text him instead of calling. But thank God he checked his phone. That's the short version of the story. Please please please be careful.
Our favourite Chinese food place, that I've been going to for over 15 years is closing next month . We always go there for birthdays and it's something the whole family enjoys, and I've gotten DH hooked too. The landlord sold the building and they are getting kicked out and have decided not to relocate. So sad, but tonight we're ordering a feast and having my parents over for what could be "the last supper". Planning on gaining back the couple pounds I just lost.

You know what's been annoying me lately? The following question: "is he a good baby?" Stuff like this doesn't normally bother me. But seriously..... what does that even mean? How does one measure "good" when it comes to a baby? Maybe the reason it bugs me is because the opposite of good is bad. Are there really bad babies out there?
Ethan spends a good 2ish hours crying on and off in the evening. He likes pooping right after I change his diaper which is kind of annoying. He sometimes struggles with breastfeeding. But I'm pretty sure he sleeps more than the average baby. Does this make him a good baby? Or a bad baby. Someone please tell me.
I've just been smiling and nodding because the people asking are potential new friends and I don't want to piss anyone off.

Ok vent over. Lol
This question would drive me nuts with DS1 too. It was always followed up with "is he sleeping through the night?" Like if he's sleeping, then he's a "good baby."
DS1 was a shitty sleeper. So I felt like a crappy parent whenever this was asked.

DS2 has been fighting naps all day. I'm now rocking him in the dark with white noise trying to convience him sleep is awesome. That was after standing in the dark in the bathroom with the fan on. In other news, I'm insanely glad he's sucking on a pacifier instead of my boobs.

A few things.
1. It makes me laugh when my 3 yr old says "you're not nice mommy!" Or "you're not my friend anymore mommy!" Oooooh threenagers! Be warned. Terrible twos got nothing on threes! Nothing!
2. We have an offer on our other house but it's sucky. DH is talking to our realtor now.
I made a cake. Just for because. This is why I shouldn't be left home alone. Someone stop me from eating the whole thing!
Mmmm cake..... Can we see pics?
+1 I made a chocolate cake from scratch last weekend bc we went to my nephews first birthday party and there was no cake-- only some sad cupcakes, that my daughter even refused to eat. Birthday parties need cake. End of story.
