Its 2 here. I officially decided I want to move. New York is a shitty state to live. My previous reason for staying is I hate the heat - I dont want a bunch of months where I cant go outside due to humidity and heat. Then I realized - huh. I cant go outside right now because Ill freeze my face off. No where is perfect. Now to convince DH...
DD dropped 26% in her height charts from 4 months to 6 months (94 to 68). Weight went up just a bit, but nothing significant. I know it's fine, but it still has me paranoid for some reason. FTM problems right here!
The low tonight in Fort Worth, Texas is 21 degrees. The high tomorrow is 41. The weather when it gets this cold becomes breaking news in the morning. No lie. I almost died laughing. I was born in Wisconsin... People are still in shorts at 41 degrees. Hell, maybe even 21.
We had the duct work for our main floor replaced yesterday because my son's room has never felt warm. Bless the install guys. They stayed until 7 pm to get it all done in a day since it got down to 12 last night.
My parents have been officially divorced for 6 years today. It feels weird to think about how long it's been.

DH is allergic to avocado so it's off limits for DD for awhile. It's one of my favorite foods and one of the first I wanted to start her with, so I'm a little bummed about it.
Same here! What's with these weird allergies, hubs?! Is your DH allergic to watermelon also???

Not that we know of? He didn't have a reaction to his avocado allergy until about 4 years ago, though (he is 30 now) when it started getting hard to breathe if he would eat some. I don't know the last time he has had watermelon, so who knows what else will come up at this point!
I had to get gas this morning because I forgot to last night. It was 12 degrees out with 30 MPH winds making it below freezing for the wind chill. I live in the southern half of the country for a reason, which is mainly to avoid this cold weather!
DD has a 100 degree temp from her shots yesterday and I want to be at home taking care of her instead of at work. (
I had a patients daughter ask me yesterday if I was pregnant. She literally goes "I know I shouldn't ask but I saw a little pooch so thought you might be". Ugh I feel so sad now.
Didn't think I looked that bad thought I just needed to tone. Weight loss thread anyone?

Come on over Luc. The thread was kind of accidentally started but I am so glad people are encouraged by it so I'd like to keep it rolling.
Anyone else finding all the goals & resolutions for 2015 a little daunting? It's like, day 3, & I feel a little overwhelmed. I know in my mind that the trick is to put all the goals into bite sized achievable goals but daaaaang y'all....the struggle is getting real.
@Lori_n_Lior, is there any way the bumpjackie announcements can be dismissed? For some reason I can't make them go away. Now I'm wondering if I'm the only one that is weird about announcements haha.
I agree. I like how on A14 the threads are right up top - no announcements!
I totally came here just to say thank you to whoever posted the thing about the teething biscuits!!! We tried spinach but that didn't go over so well so I gave her a "biscuit"! FTW.
I've got about ten things to get on the church facebook page, rock DS to sleep, pack diaper bags for in the morning but I literally could just fall asleep right stinkin' now. And I've had my Red Bull quota long ago so that's not even an option. Blech.
We tried to go out to dinner tonight with friends and DD decided to cry through half of it. It was awful. Everyone said she wasn't that loud, but I just felt like we ruined dinner and who knows who else's around us. Then I got depressed thinking that our friends aren't going to want to hang out with us anymore. 6 months is the hardest stage we have dealt with so far. She just gets so angry so quickly and won't put herself to sleep if she's tired. It's exhausting! When we leave the house I never know how long she is going to be happy for, which makes me not want to do anything. But then j get lonely. It's a Catch 22.
I then saw this that someone posted on FB and it made me feel a little better. This may just have to be a season that we step away from leaving the house too often until things calm down a little for her. I just need to remind myself this won't be forever and focus on the things I love about DD at this age.
Come to think of it I also wouldn't like to have to explain to him what bok choy is.
This!! When DH goes to the store for me, he calls/texts at least 5 times for clarification/to ask questions. I get so annoyed but have to remind myself he does it because he wants to get it right. Would be so much easier if I did it myself AND I could get Starbucks...
I'm in the ER because DH got another kidney stone. The staff has been much more rude than they normally are. DH gets kidney stones all the time and usually they intake him, give him morphine and then do all the tests. They tried to do tests while he is moaning and can barely move because of the pain. Makes me wonder if they thought he was here just for pain meds....sigh.
We are home from the ER. He has a 2mm stone that's 75% through so hopefully it finishes passing quickly. The staff said they were grouchy because an hour before we came in they sent a lot of staff home and then they got slammed. I think that's a poor excuse. Most people don't go to the ER because they are feeling good. I understand the job is tough but being rude to a patient that's in pain is just uncalled for.
The little guy is at his grandparents for the night and we have a night of appies and drinks planned. Let's see how long I last...I'm ready for a nap already. ZZzzzzzz
Scariest moment I've had with DS so far. We gave him a bath tonight and DH was getting his pajama on him. I was sitting in the rocking chair. DH stepped away for a second to see what the dog was barking at and DS fell off of the changing pad. DH was still standing about an arms length away so he was able to somewhat catch him. DS cried for about a minute and then gave us a big smile.
I think my heart stopped when I saw him fall off. I'm so thankful that it isn't that high off of the ground, and that DH was able to grab him so he didn't fall straight on the floor. We weren't quite sure if he hit his head or not because it happened so fast. I called the after hours number for his dr and they told me what to look for as far as concussions go. So we are keeping an eye on him, but I think he'll be just fine!
I was blowing raspberries in DD's neck while she was on the changing table and smacked my forehead on the crib really, really hard right between my eyebrows. I have a ridiculous lump there now and it's sore,
That hurts just thinking about it! I'm surprised I haven't done it!
Spent the Sunday with a stomach bug and now my supply has taken a big hit. I haven't pumped nearly enough today. Makes me wanna cry! I've been pumping just enough with somedays about 1-2 oz extra to freeze if I want to. This blows!
My FB feed is blowing up with birth announcements! It makes me nostalgic since we announced to everyone right around NY we were expecting last year. I don't want to be pregnant right now, but I miss all of that anticipation and excitement.....and mainly sleep.....
"Pancakes" just happened in my house at 8pm. Since I started on my diet, I've been dying for pancakes...Mash a banana and beat in two eggs and cook in a lightly oiled pan. They are really more like a crepe IMO. Whatever you wanna call them, they hit the spot!
I just saw this recipe today. Looks good, I'll try it this week!
I just spent probably 15 minutes standing in the nursery doing nothing but watching my baby sleep. I feel like my heart just might explode.
So sweet....I'd be standing there thinking 'please don't wake up, please don't wake up....'
This. I stopped doing my additional check before I would go to sleep because half the time I'd go in there, she would start to stir. I need my sleeeeeeep.

They finally gave him pain meds, now the tests.
