@colieann31 that's awesome! Glad Grayson likes the toy.
@riansmommie I will PM you. @PSNLS We met with the coordinator but her assessment is the 18th. That was the soonest they could do it. There will be 6 people coming over to test her, and then they will tell me if she is approved for services with early intervention or not. In order to be approved she needs to have a severe delay in one area or a moderate delay in at least 2 areas, and they will look at everything- gross motor, fine motor, speech, etc... I will try to keep you posted.

Don't like the assessment, but like that you posted!

Agreed! I've been wondering about your LO.
Aw, thanks! I'm on the fence if I think she will qualify for services. I think her development is ok except her gross motor is behind. My sister has a 4yr old who has been in EI for years due to hypotonia (low muscle tone) and I feel like my daughter might have it MILDLY... Not as severely as her cousin... But she doesn't seem quite as strong as other babies her age and that would explain the delay in gross motor too. But it could just be that she is really relaxed and doesn't care about moving, too.
Sorry to all the Bs having a rough time right now! I'm drinking a nice big glass of Malbec while watching the opening ceremonies and crying at the commercials because DH is asleep with a man cold upstairs. I would tip one out for my homies on here, but red on an oatmeal color carpet is too gangsta for me.
Sooooo behind so just skimmed words but want to send a big hug to @subliminalrabbit and @nursemommy13! I sincerely wish you both better days ahead.
@PPH2 hope LO gets her cute booty in gear and decides to be more mobile for you. GL with the observation.
We had our therapy appt today. I had all the emotions. It is going to take A LOT of work on his part and A LOT of work on our part as a couple. Even the therapist needed to do some homework on the best avenue of treatment for DH and expressed how huge this situation is... Long road ahead. Then we came home and my sister came to watch Ben for a few hours so we could have some alone time. We decided to get take out and have a picnic in bed, watch a movie and just veg together. It was great. Now I've just been up with Ben for over an hour bc he keeps coughing and whining and flailing about due to the bronchial infection. Poor baby just cannot get good rest at all. I held him for nearly an hour trying to get him comfortable enough to get back into a deep sleep. Hopefully he won't be up much more tonight.
Oh and I got a little more out of them on the salary offer and accepted that position today. I start on the 17th.
Anyway, I'm going to sign out for the wknd and try to focus on the fam. Don't have too much fun without me!
@funkyphoenix thanks for the positive thoughts! Sorry things have been so rough for you and your h, but good for you taking the time to refocus on your family. I hope everything works out with h and Ben feels better soon! Poor baby!
@kelly422 I think it was this thread you posted your daughters pig tails- wow! So cute!! Her hair is gorgeous, love the color, AND its longer than my baby's hair which I thought was crazy long!!!! Anyway, here's my little one with a single pony. Craziness.
Also, not to be a pw but... Well yeah to be a pw... This is my lo's hair when it's wet and straight. Just so you can see the length! But @kelly422 's baby has got us beat. Haha

Totally random vent, but I just came across this while doing research: Just 2 to 3 people out of 100,000 are diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer. I thought lightning didn't hit twice? My mom's dad was diagnosed when I was 8, his dog was diagnosed when I was 9 (unrelated, but weird), and now my dad's mom has it? How is that even possible. I just don't understand. In the hospital my grandma held my hand and said "I hope I have a different outcome than your grandpa." Last weekend she said "I'm not mad at God, I just doesn't understand why he picked me", and I don't either. Sorry ladies, not baby related, but we aren't saying anything on facebook and I just needed to get that out. I should probably look into therapy.
hugs to you, and keep us posted! We are here for you (in the creepy internet way of course)
So I just totally bailed on my little sister. E and I were supposed to see her today because it had been a few weeks and she just broke up with her boyfriend of six years. She doesn't have a car so I would've had to drive an hour to pick her up and do something, and then an hour back. It would've taken the whole day, and I can't see her next weekend because the city is shutting down the freeway -- but after yesterday's breakdown and insomnia tonight, it became clear to me that I can't go another week without a no-commitments day and I just need time for myself. I'm rocking E with tears streaming down my face over bailing on her, that I can't be strong enough to make it one more week, but I just can't.
Thanks for listening, my Bs. I just feel so lost right now.
that sucks, I am sure your sister understands. Can you have tea or something over Skype for a bit? I hope you get some much needed and deserved R and R.

Sorry to hear you are having a rough time @subliminalrabbit !! Wish I could be there to help. Try not to feel bad about taking down time- you need it. Big hugs! And hi hi hi back missed you too!!
@subliminalrabbit I am having serious issues with figuring out how I can be Was while being mommy. I'm letting too much of myself get lost in the rush of motherhood/spouse/sibling/daughter/work bitch. I haven't figured anything out, but have identified the problem. That's the first step, right?
This isn't particularly helpful, just wanted you to know you aren't alone. We all love you and you owe us nothing
@subliminalrabbit I just wanted to echo what others said and you shouldn't feel bad. We all say that our babies come first, right? In order for our babies to be happy and well taken cared for, WE have to be happy and well rested. What you are doing is what's best for not only you but also E and you shouldn't feel bad about taking the day off from commitments.
@subliminalrabbit try not to feel too bad. Your sister is probably going through a really rough time but I'm almost 100% positive that she understands that you need you time. Take today to unwind as much as you can. Maybe spend a good chunk of the day talking to her on the phone! Just relax
Just caught up on all the words. Big hugs to all of you ladies who are struggling right now. You are all such strong women and mothers. Just remember that things will get better. All the decisions you are making are the right ones for your child/family. You are all amazing!
@vasc me too!!!! And 2 buck chuck. But seriously ladies thank you so much for drawing my attention to the cookie butter. I am in heaven. I even whipped out the crazy eyes excited face in a picture for you. For realz amazing!
we just had the best visit at DH's grandparents house. They love William so much and it melts my heart. I was not even lucky to have grandparents and William has 3 sets of grandparents and 2 sets of great grandparents!
I'm a crying mess today. I brought in boxes to start packing. My mom hired movers for next week. I have found a home for two of our three dogs (I'm keeping one, but STBXH won't take the other two). It's really happening. I'm so sad. I need a big drink. Ugh.
Yes, god forbid he honor ANY of his goddamn responsibilities. I really hate him.
Lol you always make me smile! But yeah, that irritated me. One of the dogs I can understand, I don't want him anymore either. He was a rescue that we got a year before M. We potty trained him (at age 4) and he was great. But had completely regressed since M. And I just don't have the time to give him the attention he needs to be housebroken again. Luckily I just got a call from a vet tech at our vet's office that said she wants him. So at least I know he's going to a good home.
The other one though, is his dog. He got that one before we lived together. And now he's all 'well I don't know if I can take a dog.' I'm having a hard time giving him away, I do love that dog. But my mom already has 2 dogs. Not to mention my brother and sister's dogs that are always there. So I really can't take two dogs. But yeah.... Whatever.
Every new thing I read about this man makes me want to kick him in the balls all over again. You're amazing, I'm so sorry he sucks so hard.
Re: The thread of all threads!
I have a 7 and 7 in hand ready to watch the opening ceremonies.
Aw, thanks! I'm on the fence if I think she will qualify for services. I think her development is ok except her gross motor is behind. My sister has a 4yr old who has been in EI for years due to hypotonia (low muscle tone) and I feel like my daughter might have it MILDLY... Not as severely as her cousin... But she doesn't seem quite as strong as other babies her age and that would explain the delay in gross motor too. But it could just be that she is really relaxed and doesn't care about moving, too.
