I'm not surprised by what happened in La Loche, but I'm very saddened by it. It hits close to home being a First Nations community. I'm thankful more weren't hurt or killed.
DB woke up puking violently twice last night. He's been fine since so I'm assuming he ate something that didn't agree with him. It's crappy mixed with hard teething.
We were supposed to check out a great house that was just listed yesterday. There's already a conditional offer on it. WTF. Too good to be true.
Sending positive vibes to all the sick babies and everyone else going through a difficult time right now.
Just wanted to send out a big I'm sorry to everything here
Sitting here in pjs and catching up on the threads. Hugs and prayers to all you mamas going through hard times and with sick babies!!
I'm getting over either a stomach bug or something I ate didn't agree with me. I was actually able to get up, get my hair cut and make a grocery run this morning. So I'm starting to feel more like myself! Past couple of days have been no Bueno!!
I'm so relieved Boston isn't getting hit as hard as some areas with this storm. I feel like we paid our dues last winter. Hopefully you mamas that are getting hit hard by the blizzard are stocked up on booze and staying safe and warm with your little one.
tiffbot it's so sad about the shooting. My brother is in Regina so when we heard Saskatchewan it sent a chill down my spine.
@bubbs119 love the snow pic!
So I'm trying to keep up doing Kegals. How do you all feel about randomly putting do a kegal at the end of some of your posts? If I read it I'll do one and give you a LT! My vagina will thank you!
Well what the heck let me know if you ever decide to venture this way and visit your brother! I promise I'm not creepy..lol seriously though, my siblings live there too and it's an easy drive
silv3rlining your DH is just whipping up a pair of gloves... how?
He's still working on them so I wouldn't say he just whipped them up...I made 1 mitten in an hour but it was too small. DH gets crazy with projects. We have extra fabric in the basement. So he sewed a liner and is going an outside. I mean they aren't the most attractive but they'll get the job done.

I was so sad to read about the shooting - I tend to totally disconnect from reality on weekends, so hasn't heard of it. I hate that our kids are growing up in a world where things like that happen. I'm wearing real pants because we already ran some errands and got chilis for lunch - DS crushed some avocado and black beans, it's so much easier to keep him happy eating out now that he can normally have bits of our food! Half bummed about missing the blizzard, but it's 30 and sunny out, which it being Michigan means I'm thinking of taking DS and jilly out for a walk once he's up from his nap.
tiffbot he moved over nearly 18 months ago and loves it. I'll totally hit you up for a play date and a childless date if we go over. Also did the kegal

Gave DB a spoon with the tiniest smidge of cookie dough on it. You should see him licking and scratching at it! I know I shouldn't keep giving him the sweets... I never thought I'd do that. I thought his first birthday would be his first taste of sugar!

Same here in NY as Kristykristyleelee, we've got a foot and prob getting one more foot, but it's super windy and lopsided everywhere. We are also coastal in Brooklyn by the beach so I'm just hoping we don't get any flooding. Do not wanna relive the damage of hurricane sandy. Plan is to take M out for his first snow tomorrow when the wind dies down.

We were at a family Christmas party early December, before I had even tried solids at all with LO. I had him sitting on my lap, facing out, when H's cousin stuck a spoonful of vanilla pudding into his mouth. So literally, his first taste of anything not BM/formula was pudding. Ugh. I was a little upset for half a second, but I let it go. So now I'm planning on his SECOND taste of sugar to be on his birthday, haha!

I gave C a tiny bit of mint ice cream last month when we celebrated my FIL's birthday. He loved it. I didn't think I would give him sweets this early on either, but I wasn't completely opposed to it either though.

Last year in snowed here and DD wanted to play so I put 2 pairs of socks on her hand and called them mittens #keepingitklassyinBama
Both kids are slowly feeling better thanks to some antibiotics and them finally getting some sleep.
I am in the process of weeding through all of DDs clothes and consigning them. So many mixed emotions, I definitely got teary eyed over her teeny tiny sleepers and sweet little dresses but feel excited by the un cluttering I have tagged 100 items so far and have at least that many more to do!
Today's been a semi-productive day. C and I met up with my mom for breakfast and then thought I would go buy a new wifi router before canceling our internet. I also painted the guest/C's bathroom room this morning (well the first of probably 3 coats). Its bright orange and I'm not completely sold on it yet. Hopefully it gets better after the second/third coat is done. We picked out a monster shower curtain and DH thought orange would be a fun color.
Tonight is back to my IL's so that we can hang out with the dog for a while before coming home. I think I convince DH to have Chinese food for dinner. DH started logging his food about a week ago, which then prompted me to start logging my food/calories. Chinese will definitely put me over but it will be so worth it. I don't think I've had Chinese food since before C was born.

We have 28 inches of snow here and its not supposed to stop until 7 tomorrow morning. Just took DD out to play and she only lasted about 10 minutes. Here's an AW picture of her beside the drift at the bottom of our driveway. I'm also half afraid to let our yorkie outside for fear that he might fall into some snow and disappear.

ashbash we're currently trying to sort through and consign both kids clothing too and its so emotional. There's some things I'm just not ready to get rid of but we are running out of storage.
We were eating a piece of cake at dinner (funfetti FTW!) and just when we both picked up our phones, LO lunged forward for it. She missed! Really trying to avoid sweets!

SO brought home gin and ginger ale and a case of beer.. we're about to kick it old school and play rummy like we used to. Because we are actually 2 old ladies who drink gin cocktails and play rummy.
We had to call the cops because there was a guy that was sitting in front of our house taking pictures/video and then followed my H when he went to follow a speeder that almost hit him and DS while they were outside playing.
Needless to say, I'm cracking open the wine early and going to be freaked out all night!

Not to freak you out but just for future reference only give kids cookie dough w no raw egg yolk in it since it could have salmonella which is life threatening for babies.
@wwprestige, that was our first thought, but the timing wasn't right. The cop was going to contact him to see what the deal was. He also said we can go after the speeder for careless and wreckless driving since we got their license plate numbers.

I definitely thought about that, but the total amount was probably half a pea sized. or less. But I hear you. Good reason not to give him any next time!
H and I went out to dinner tonight, and while we were there he mentioned that I have smelled different the past few weeks. Obviously I was immediately self-conscious, especially since it was clear that it wasn't a positive change. We talked about possible things that I've been doing differently, but nothing came to mind or made sense. I asked him to drop it so I wouldn't get upset an could enjoy my meal.
Fast forward to when we got home and went into the kitchen and saw my mother's milk tea. I realized that must be the culprit, since I started drinking it about a month ago and I drink a lot of it, and I know fenugreek can make you smell. It made me feel a lot better to know that it's likely something temporary and that will go away eventually.
Oh yeah, I definitely have the maple sweats. Husband can deal.
