My house is haunted. The gas drops I set on my ottoman, oh say, say 3 hours ago just rolled off and landed on the floor. Nothing touched them except for the ghost in my living room.
Apparently it's hot air balloon day. My friend alerted me to a Groupon for a Halloween event that's held at my school. There's a bunch of hot air balloons that they light up at night. You can also go up in tethered balloons. There's music and food and such, but I'm excited about the balloons. Plus I now have a reason to get a costume for M's carrier since we have a Halloween function!
So my friend's gf just delivered their baby girl breech and med free at 24 weeks and 5 days. Baby girl is doing remarkably well right now and is in one of the best nicu wards in the state. I have everything crossed for them right now.
i'm doing my best to remain calm atm. DH decided while I was out with the dogs to go ahead and give LO (5.5 weeks old) a taste of his chocolate ice cream. He said he just put it on his finger and gave him a taste and he liked it, and i freaked out b/c cows milk, and potential allergens. It's been at least three hours and LO is still happy as a clam, in fact, he's curled up in my moby b/c i was doing laundry and wanted to keep a closer eye on him (apparently DH has a tummy ache, so mommy who is exhausted gets to stay awake with baby when all i wanna do is nap).
Someone reassure me that a drop of chocolate ice cream is nothing to worry about pls. I already chastised DH.

Sending thoughts and prayers! Almost 25 weeks is not unheard of in the nicu--tiny little miracle babies go home every day!

It's nothing to worry about. Chastise your DH, for sure, but everything's going to be OK.
Eye roll at "he liked it," though. That's what the food sneakers always say...

thanks. I'm just like wtf why would you even. but this little boy is all curled on mommy's chest in the moby wrap right now so I can't even be angry about it. sometimes this baby is just too cute. I just told DH that if there was an allergy we have nothing we could give him and then what. I secretly think that's why he went to bed, not a tummy ache as he claimed, but what do I know.

Re hot air balloons: I am obsessed. O's nursery has 2 hanging from the ceiling and hot air balloon themed. In 2 weeks we're going to a hot air balloon festival and I'm so excited.

Hey all! After feeling incredibly down the last 2.5 weeks, yesterday and today have been lovely. Not sure if it's just cuz DH had to work from home both days due to the Pope's visit or what. But I'll take it!

Thinking of them! I follow a family on facebook whose son was born around 23 weeks. He turned two in May.

One of the first things I solidly remember after the Damn mag was walking the halls of the nicu and seeing the graduation wall-pics of kiddos as they grow up. There were 23 weeker TRIPLETS up there. One of them is named Amelia. I sobbed.

I'm watching Chain Reaction on game show network and getting irrationally angry because these people are dumb and also very proud of myself because I keep getting the answers right.

DS was talking about a website that has educational games (many for free). We got on the computer and it seemed cool so I asked him if he wanted to play some of the games together this afternoon.
His response: "Really? That'd be GREAT! *wraps arms around me* You're the best mom ever, even if you ARE mean all the time"
Holy crap. $600 for nexplanon??? Looks like we're using condoms for a while. I've already got 3 months worth of the mini pill so I guess i'll use thay for now. Our credit cards are almost maxed out. Ugh.
So my doc told me that most insurances cover it. Did you call your insurance or was that just what you were told by the docs office?

The doctors office called the insurance company for me.
Also, I'm pretty sure my parents are going to be getting divorced sometime before the end of the year.
No fun. I think my parents may be splitting very soon as well.
My Dad up and accepted a random offer someone put on their house. It wasn't even on the market. He is up and selling everything and hasn't decided where they are going. He doesn't want my mom talking to me bc he's not speaking to me. He got himself in financial trouble and was going to have some assets seized. I wouldn't lie for him and say his oversized tractor was mine so he cut me out of his life. My mother has no backbone to stand up to him and hasn't worked a day since I was born 33 yrs ago.
I think/ hope she figures out what she's going to do.
That classic moment when Boston's More Than A Feeling comes on the radio, you turn it up, and the baby stops crying -- then, the song ends, and the baby starts crying again...

The last 2 hours have been rough. O had an appointment with the orthopedic doctor and got a Pavlik harness to wear at night for his hip dysplasia. We were heading to the office to get H for dinner right after so I didn't feed him in the office. It took 30 freaking minutes to get out of the parking deck due to a mass exodus and most people paying with card. My kid is desperately and frantically screaming in the backseat. Traffic was terrible and it had been 7 hours since I last pumped. I told H we would need help getting inside and then he was no where to be found after I ran a red light and cut someone off to get into the parking lot. Hauled pump bag and baby inside yelling down the hall. Immediately handed O off to be fed and hurriedly set up my pump. Trying not to sob like a crazy person.
My poor child has lost all the hair on top of his head, but it's growing nicely on the back and sides. All I can think of is Frank Barone front Everybody Loves Raymond when I look at him.
My tiniest human has decided that sleeping anywhere other than my chest is unacceptable. I am trapped on the couch currently, he even cried when i tried to wear him.

..Did someone say wine?
My DD told me she was sick of me yesterday. I feel ya. Yes to wine!
@missava387 I enjoyed it. If they were to do another season if watch it again. Also, boy inspired me to put Penatonix on Pandora when I showered, little man seemed entertained.
