Longest Thread EVER! (aka Random Thoughts Thread )

Got home from work and DH left the tv on, so I was watching the news for a minute winding down. They are breaking news that the bodies of five local kids were found the next state over and the father of said kids (year old to 8years old) is being charged with their murder. I could puke. Those poor babies. I wanna go snuggle my kid now.

@JessieAlbin‌ that is horrifying

Hi RTT! How was your day?

Mine? Mine was perfection, thanks for asking. Because this just happened:

It was love at first sight!

Spit was swapped, mainly through the sharing of toys. Porter gave Josie his cell:

They both tried to eat each other. It was a true slobber-fest. Then they passed the time watching the leaves blow. Our little Moose and Squirrel.

Have you all met @MrsCrCalli? You really should. She rocks my socks.

Holy baby cuteness!!

Damn I missed drama? I had no idea that drama occurred in RTT.

BiggerinRealLife

@NoLaLinz That is so special! So happy for you!

BiggerinRealLife

Now I know my swap buddy isn't @RedDawnsRevenge. Y'all know I like me some hooch!

I hope you're doing well. I am crazy busy with school and life. Wah

Ahh Porter and Josie are so adorable! Jealous about the meet up!

The M15 board wants to not be a well known board for drama. Who doesn't want some good drama in their Internet lives?

Eta- Josie's name came up Jose

I'm so confused on what to do right now. G is reaching for our food now, he's incredibly interested and really wants it. He is hungry every 3 hours. We have NEVER slept through the night, I'm exhausted. At his appt on Monday he had dropped from 55% to 31% in weight. The dr said she wasn't worried because he's still growing, but he is ready for solids now. He has a great pincher and all of that.
I was waiting for solids until DH got back. He has missed so much over the past 5 months, I don't want him to miss anymore. I wanted him to be here for the experience. I know that he loves G so much, but part of me worries about their bond vs Micah and DH bond.
DH was supposed to be here originally on Friday, now it isn't until the 22nd. Should I keep waiting another 12 days or go ahead and do it?
It doesn't help that G was up on all fours tonight rocking back and forth. I wanted to yell "no! No crawling until Daddy gets here!!"
Thanks for reading my novel

JessieAlbin

@Tferr02‌ I would wanna wait, too. He'll be fine for a few more weeks, I hate that your DH keeps getting his home date extended but it will be here so soon! Their bond will be amazing, in a few years you won't even wonder if it could have been better had he been there the first few months. I can't wait for your family to be together again! Reunited and it feels so good..

Dylan has this adorable little psychopathic scream laugh. I just wanna eat him up

I'm so jealous of bump dates!!! And now I want to do the exchange I want to be all up in all the things.

ambarnett1

I feel like I've never done this pregnancy thing before. I tested again and my line wasn't any darker, so now I'm freaking out about a chemical or miscarriage. I had a miscarriage before, but only knew about the baby for a day. Ugh!

Ashleypixie

Lol relax! It doesn't matter how dark the line is. It does not signify that something is wrong. I'm so flippin excited for you! I'm not ready yet but it'll be fun to go through it all again if I ever do.

ambarnett1

Thank you. I sound so effin crazy right now. I'm a worrier.

Fuck.

Ashleypixie

Irrational worries are a pregnant woman's self preservation instinct! It keeps you from doing things that'll harm your baby. When I was pregnant with LO I was somewhere around a lot of people smoking. The next morning I felt a tiny bit crampy, the next thing you know I'm bawling on the phone to my best friend afraid that the second hand smoke was going to cause a miscarriage.

ooooh. I didn't know the hockey hall of fame was in Toronto! Maybe I can convince DH to take a family road trip there since hes a hockey guy.

Waaaah I wanna have meet-ups! BIRL and Calli you look beautiful and your bébés are adorable!

Can people please start doing road trips to Toronto? THINGS HAPPEN HERE TOO YOU KNOW ... come see our...uh...CN tower! And um...we have a Ripley's aquarium now!

And you absolutely cannot miss the nutjob who covered their house in dolls! See? Book your tickets.

We have one of those in Port Huron, MI, too, haha. I'm actually about a 5 hour drive from Toronto, but I don't have a passport or an enhanced license to go across the border

On lockdown with a shooter on campus.  When will this end?!  Please send the university of michigan some T&Ps.  Not near my building--but near a very busy place on campus.

Holy shit. I'll be tuning in for updates. I hope nobody gets hurt and they this crazy contained. Messed up world we live in.

janellemj928

@honeyzoo‌ glad the danger seems to have passed. Definitely don't blame you for staying in the dark, though!

thomas930

Awww Josie and Porter!! the cuteness!!

And their Mama's are looking great too!

@mommyofmac‌ I grew up in BFE Indiana and go there to visit my dad sometimes. He's near Bloomington.

I'm jealous of all the meet-ups, too. I wanted to participate in the exchange but didn't feel like I knew everyone well enough to join in. Maybe next time. I'm mostly dirty lurking these days because I miss all the action and then it's too late to comment because it's all been said already!

Btw, congratulations @ambarnett1‌ !!

thomas930

@honeyzoo‌ glad things settled down. Stay safe.

DS1 has an eye appointment today. At his two year appointment his eye screening flagged for possible near sighted. Really hoping we don't have to deal with glasses because he is a very active 2.5 year old and we'd be buying new glasses every week.

RedDawnsRevenge

Should we go to the parade this morning?

Sounds like B. She screams and tries to chew her baby doll's face off. It's so cute...but so scary!

Ashleypixie

I started adderall again. Let's see if my posts start making more sense. And no I won't sell you one.

Completely heartbroken for a couple I know from college. They lost their second baby boy yesterday at 32 weeks . Their first was born 5 years ago and lived for a few weeks but passed away from complications. Holding my babies extra close. 

RedDawnsRevenge

Day 6? I've lost track. I've lost another pound! So after gaing some back I am back down to 4lbs above post DD1 wt! 44 more to go! So maybe cutting the extra 800 liquid cal has helped?

That's Great! I need to start cutting caffeine out too, but soda is sooooo good.

So unfair. Losing one isn't enough misery?

Seriously, that is so sad and completely unfair.

This makes me so sad.

The first 3 days I thought my head would implode. It was like Trainspoting, I locked my self in the house and DT'ed. I am having an iced mocha right now, but I hope to never return to my dark mistress.
