Yay @missymr!!! I am sitting at the kitchen table. Alex is obviously my child. He is standing on the chair dancing to music and shovelling eggs with bacon chips in it, into his mouth. Just like I am.
Feli woke up at 4:45. Brought her to our bed, managed to cuddle her until about 5:15. *soul-piercing cry* try to snuggle her closer, possibly sedating her into a cuddle-induced stupor *LOUDER soul-piercing cry* "sweetie, what to you want?" *immediately stops, sits up in bed, gets out of bed, insistently pulls my finger until I follow her to the kitchen* "do you want breakfast?" *huge beaming grin* "YEAH!"
so, a few peaches, apples and bananas later, it is still only 5:45. but at least one of us is happy.
@amparo1981 been there haha it's gonna be a long day!
@missymr yay! I do hope it becomes a pattern for you, and not just a teaser like for me haha now every evening I wonder if he will STTN, once every 10 nights he does though :P

FKA mimi4347: diaper rash magician and unofficial expert on excrement
This kid may not have a lot of bowel, but he has plenty of guts! DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome. 131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.
Morning ladies. DD has been letting us sleep in past 8 these past few mornings and I think we are starting to drop the second nap. Changes are happening! \:D/
I got too lazy (or did I?) to make our weekly egg muffins for breakfast this week. So we've been hitting up DD on the way to work. Gaawd these hash browns are amaze balls.
Today is our work Christmas luncheon. It's always awkward because DH always finds me and wants to sit next to me and be all lovey dovey. In front of all our colleagues. No, dude.
FFTC: I just took down some flag banners that have been hanging in our living room. They were decorations for L's birthday "> I liked them so I left them up.
FFTC #2: when I hung them up I couldn't find any regular tape or other hanging devices, so they were attached to the wall with medical tape.

I hope everything with Mer is just a misunderstanding. I can't imagine her being banned
My NT scan is this afternoon. I'm so nervous. My appointment is at 2:30, but we're leaving early b/c we're dropping P off with the IL's. Afterwards we might go to Target... kid free!
On the plus side though my boss has actually blocked off the entire afternoon for slacking off. Pretty sure they're ordering us food, and I'm bringing in my board games! :-)
I'm pretty sure it's Friday SOMEwhere. Coffee....
@maryannespier re:starbucks card. doesn't @biggunsbo have this cute waffle ceremony with her DH? maybe you can do that. your DH probably doesn't get waffles on his commute every day
I had a dream w/ @mermomof6 in it last night (obv. because of this whole banning thing). Somehow I had three kids before she had three, which makes no sense. I'm not even sure about three kids. I also didn't think through kid #3 before getting pregnant w/her (it was a girl...I'm pretty sure #2 was too), and pregnancies 2 and 3 were in quick succession. O, and I was standing when I gave birth to 2 and 3. It was like I was dropping an egg ('cept they didn't just drop on the floor...the dr. was there to catch them).
Ramy, I'm sorry K is sick. I hope he recovers quickly.
Caffeine, I have my fingers crossed for you. I'm sorry.
Kiki, good luck today!
As far as mermo is concerned, I hope it's a misunderstanding or glitch but if not then a ban happens for a reason. Because of what encchanted is saying it leads me to believe a ban would be for the better if there is a legit reason.
My coworker just told me that his toilet was clogged so he took one of his pots from the kitchen and used it to scoop stuff from the overflowing toilet into the bathtub. @-)
Nobody is going to hell. God loves you and sent his son to die for you. That's what the atonement is all about. Grace.
Just my opinion based on my Christian faith. Love one another as Jesus loves you.
@sparkymcgee I was just kidding, but yes I agree with you... my idea of being religious is that it helps me be a better person not that it gives me a free card to judge others, or even worse, hurt them in any way
@biggunsbo( (happy tears) beautiful story... I wanted LOs name to be Mattia (God's gift) as he was our beautiful surprise gift but DH hated it I like your name story better

@Encchanted is there a guide 'Reasons you could get banned' or something like that?

I'm so heartbroken over the school shooting in Pakistan. 126 people are dead. Most of them teenagers. 120 more are wounded. I just don't understand why people do stuff like that and it breaks my heart.

The TOU, basically. It's a three-strike system also, so you don't get banned the first time you call someone a name
There are others things you can do to get insta-banned.

@biggunsbo I love that! I really do love names with a biblical meaning or history.
LO's name has several biblical definitions. It means a musical interlude, or to pause and think. Very fitting as she was a surprise, and we had to pause life and think about what the eff we just got ourselves into!
My coworker just told me that his toilet was clogged so he took one of his pots from the kitchen and used it to scoop stuff from the overflowing toilet into the bathtub. @-)
And then threw the pot away right?!
No. " the dishwasher cleaned it right off, Liz. Chill. "
And then he moved house or bought a new dishwasher, right?!?! :-&
I don't see a medical thread so I'm going to have to tell you here that I cut my finger nail too short a few weeks ago and now the side of my finger is all red and puffy and painful. Infection? I did some yard work over Thanksgiving which was right after the bad nail cutting happened?

Maybe a little one? Is it red/puffy just by your nail bed, or the whole side of your finger?

I totally agree that they CAN just ban people, it's just kind of surprising that, of all of us, it'd be Mer...
