FFFC

And.... go!

Mne is not exciting: We went out for soft-serve the other night and got Baby his own teeny cone. (He loved it!)

holocene · June 2012

I ate a bag of Balsamic & sweet onion chips for breakfast.

I take my baby in the hot tub.

I lied in the baby book. I couldn't remember his exact weights for the first 6 months, so I guessed.

I'm not "in-to" planning Cate's party. It's tomorrow and I feel like it's more stress and money then it's really worth. I didn't go overboard with a theme or favors.

My older girls have winter birthdays, so we always go somewhere and they do all the hard work. Planning an at-home/outside party from scratch isn't fun. I'll be glad when tomorrow is over.

I'm pretty certain DH and I were playing "Chicken" with Ty crying this morning at 2:30. We check on him generally after 5 minutes and at 5 minutes neither of us said anything, neither of us got up to check on him, nothing. We just laid there pretending not to hear anything. All the while, in my mind I was like, "seriously, why must I always be the one to get up with him". DH was probably thinking the same thing.

15 minutes later he finally quieted down and presumably went to bed.

I did feel bad this morning when I saw that at some point he probably dropped his blankie because it was outside of the crib. My guess is he was standing waiting for one of us, and holding his blankie like he always does and he dropped it. That may be why he cried longer than normal too.

And yes, FFFC part 2, he sleeps with a blanket before 1. He's slept with a blanket since November? December?

After reading the 50 Shades trilogy, I decided I needed to read what inspired it all. That's right, I read Twilight. And once I got past the rather boring start and overall tone, I found myself loving Bella & Edward in a new way. In fact, I even found myself giggling through the times they were just talking and professing their love for each other after knowing each other all of 5 minutes. Yes. It's ridiculous, but I don't care!

I totally admit to love Twilight! I loved the books so much that as crappy as the movies are I still own them and watch occasionally!

Mine is deep. I am putting this out there because I don't talk about it at all IRL except with DH. But I feel like I just need to share it so here goes...

DD has been having horrible and mysterious headaches every day for the past few months. She screams suddenly and at random times, and they are always on the left side only. They are so painful it stops her in her tracks and she screams and cries; it is heart breaking.

So we are in the process of ruling out any possible causes, and of course I'm hoping it is an easy fix. I am leaving in ten minutes to take her to the Ophthalmologist for an eye exam. She has an MRI in a few weeks (earliest they could get her in).

I work as an RN on a pediatric neuro floor and often in the PICU so I see the worst every day, and I'm scared $hitless.

So anyways, I didn't want to be a threadjack here, but I didn't want to do a whole "Ts and Ps" thread about his. Just wanted to share.

I have reached the point in this triology (the 50 Shades one) that I just want to finish so I can get back to my regular reading - I am halfway through the third one. I can't leave a book unfinished so I am working to finish it. But the sex got boring halfway through the first and as I stated on FB after finishing the first book...I found to be really sad. And I think it continues to be so. I need to go back to my murder mystery books and the Joe Ledger series I recently got into for some excitement.

This isn't really so much a confession but...

It is not a myth...the babies (and now toddlers) on this board truly are cuter than average. This is my observation after being exposed to several babies last weekend.

I saw your post on Special Needs (I lurk to catch up on some stories -- they were all so helpful when we were going through tons of tests with Olivia last summer) but I didn't want to bring it up over here. I know it's hard not to expect the worst -- given what you see everyday-- but try to think positive. In our experience we we're lucky in that they moved things rather quickly once they saw something odd. Once they saw something weird on the Bonescan they rushed us in for all of the follow up tests (CT, u/s, MRI and then CT guided bone/bone marrow biopsy), so hopefully you'll have an answer soon! Keep us posted and good luck with everything! (((hugs)))

That is so, so scary. I'm praying for you and your daughter; of course it's only natural to think the worst when you're a nurse (been there, done that), and especially when it's your own baby. Hope they find a clear-cut diagnosis very early into the process and that it's simple and manageable. Poor little girl. Keep us updated!

Im so sorry your DD is going through that!! I've suffered from migraines since... Well, my entire life. I got a CT scan finally when I was 18, and they ruled out any major issues. I've also been seeing a chiropractor since I was nine, and when I was 14 my mom mentioned my migraines to him an he started doing something different to adjust my neck, and they got MUCH better after that. I go once a month, every month, and it's really helped. Also, when I was 18 I decided to take an anti depressant to try to prevent them, and that also really helped. I stopped taking it when I got pregnant with DS, and for the first month or two of being off of it, it was difficult, but eventually they actually got better being pregnant, and I haven't gone back on the medication, I just keep up with the chiropractor and I get monthly massages now. Praying for you guys that your daughters situation is similar to mine, and she will just grow out of them. I know it's so so difficult to be dealing with them, and it's so heart breaking when I hear about other little ones that have to be going through it! Thinking of you guys! And sorry for the format I'm on my phone.

Good Luck today, and keep us posted! - thoughts and prayers heading your way!

I don't know if this will help or not but I'll give it a shot:

My mom is an ICU nurse and anytime one of us got sick she immediately thought the worst and I in-turn also lean that way. What you have to try and remember is that just because you see the worst everyday doesn't mean that THIS will be the worst. It's hard and this will be scary no matter what but try and take it one step at a time - the only thing you can really actively do right now is just be there for her - so be the best for her. I'm so sorry you're going through this!! Chin up Momma!!

baseballcr8zd · June 2012

I was eating a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast (ok pre-breaksfast) the other morning. Connor was sitting next to me on the floor and kept reaching for it, so I gave him a very small piece. He REALLY liked it.

And yes, FFFC part 2, he sleeps with a blanket before 1. He's slept with a blanket since November? December?

My 1st confession is T has slept with a blanket since we stopped swaddling him to sleep. So his whole life!

2nd one - I also play chicken with DH but I always lose.

3rd - we have started putting T in bed with his empty bottle which helps him go to sleep. He doesnt use a paci so this is similar but DH doesnt want to start using a paci now. I feel bad because he is just sucking air for who knows how long before he falls asleep.

JavaVino910 · June 2012

Kattyleigh- Echoing everyone elses thoughts, please let us know.

My FFFC: I had planned on taking a vacation day and send DD to daycare for a couple hours to get things done. We have a crazy wekend ahead of us. This would have been the first time to ever do that. But... DD has a mild case of HFM and had to stay home with me. And DH decided to stay home. I'm secretly disappointed that they are both home with me and I don't get a couple of hours to myself...

dannie2011 · June 2012

My FFFC- I've given Alexis popcorn, cake, chocolate, oh and many other things that would make some ppl have heart attacks.

CantWait2Be · June 2012

Katyyleigh, I hope everything turns out okay for your dd. how long do her head aches last? Do they make her vomit? Does Tylenol help? My dd has migraines that come on suddenly out of nowhere. It's the center of her forehead and the only thing that helps is sleeping. She usually ends up puking 2-3 times too and when the head ache starts she doesn't want to do anything but sleep. She's been dealing with his every few months for a few years now. She hasn't had any tests though. Just got refered to a neurologist and he said he didn't want to do testing or medicate her unnecessarily since it wasn't too frequent and our description sounded like that's most likely what it is. He just has us tracking what she eats when she has one.

M&M227 · June 2012

I love DD to pieces but today she has been so whiney and needy. Also she likes to scream at me if I don't do / give her what she wants right away. Lunch was fun, she inhaled all the pasta I gave her and then just screamed because she wanted more, which I wasn't giving her (she had a pretty big serving) and she refused to eat anything else on her tray.

And I've been prepping for her b-day party all day and a whiny baby isn't helping.

Mommy is going to need an early cocktail tonight....

I've let DD try many things that I thought I never would most recent was cake at a Baptism a couple weeks ago.

Oh and on Memorial day I let her eat an entire hotdog.... I gave her half (cut up) and she loved it and was picking at the rest of her food so I gave her the other day. Poor thing had gas for the rest of the day.

I know I gave everyone until the 14th to RSVP to LOs party, but I'm sooo mad that the majority of the people have not RSVP'd! I would think they would know if they're busy or not within a week of getting the invite. I'm soo aggrivated!

brandx725 · June 2012

I am secretly really upset at the people not attending my LO's first b-day party tommorrow.

I sent out the invites like six weeks ago and gave everyone four weeks to rsvp.

I am mad at one friend because she said she asked off for work before I even sent out the invite. Now her boss is saying she has to work or she doesn't have a job. I call BS, she just forgot to ask off. It just upset me because I came to her daughters party with over an hour of driving and my LO was a newborn.

My other friend owns her own business and is short a worker so that I understand but I am still upset.

Then the other friend never RSVPd even though he said he would come and the final friend I understand that her sons second birthday party is the same day but it still makes me sad.

So basically it is just my parents and sister and SO parents and grandma. So why did I even bother sending out invites. I know it sounds so childish it just makes me upset that more people don't care enough about my child to make an effort to come. Sorry so long just needed to get that off my chest.

klv · June 2012

My kid is driving me insane today and I have no tolerance for her. I am trying to pack to go out of town this weekend and I have to stop what I am doing every 5 seconds to pull her out of the cat bowl, out of the trash can, out of my closet ect. I have already put myself into time out but I am still so annoyed.

klv · June 2012

I am also very annoyed at my friend. She just found out she is pregnant which is exciting. But when my DCP came down with strep throat, I asked my friend if she could watch Hannah for a few hours during my new job orientation. She refused because even though she does not have morning sickness she can't really function before noon. Pregnant or no, there is probably a good reason why she has never really had a job.

For ours I sent the invites super early because it was memorial day weekend. I'd say even a week or so before the party, I hadn't heard from about 25% of people. My MIL had to hunt down half her family to see of they were coming! I don't understand it either but I know how you feel!

I sent out invites a month in advance. I purposefully did not put anything about RSVP'ing because no one does it anymore and there is just no point in wasting space. lol

The possible FFC part.....Instead, I sent out a Facebook invite (yesterday, about 1.5weeks in advance) reminding everyone of the upcoming celebration and providing more info about the festivities. Although I have gotten some RSVPs this way, my plan is to just make a bunch of food and hope for the best.

amberpro · June 2012

1. On RSVPs- people just don't anymore. I don't expect it. It annoyed me during wedding planning, but other than that I just assume no one will RSVP and text and call if it's important to have a number.

2. On his birthday, C ate an entire grape popsicle. Didn't drop 1 bite. About an hour later my child was RUNNING around the living room in circles. He threw dirt out of plants, kept trying to climb stairs, threw all the magazines around. Crazy! I'm blaming the popsicle.
