Re: The Randomest Thread
So tomorrow I have to fold and put away laundry that's been sitting in baskets, do a few loads of laundry, get me and LO packed, clean the house, and mow the yard. I'm not sure how I'm going to get all of that done and have LO here with me. H doesn't know when he'll be home yet, and even once he is he'll want to take a nap after that drive and not watch LO so I can be outside for 2-3 hours so I can do the lawn. Fuck. After typing all that out we might HAVE to leave Saturday since I work Friday morning until 2:30 so it's not like I can do any of it before we leave. I appreciate DH driving so far for work because it's the best money he can make right now, but I swear I feel like a single mom even when he's here.
P.S. I really need a pedicure.
@CHPhotoMama can I make you a shirt that says "I heart my BSCMIL" just for shits and giggles? Yikes
@FarmBoysWife Fx YH get more hours and you can merge into staying at home!
@LW78 hope your boobie is ok!!
@bunnyfungo fx the house is yours!
So my random:
I was at dinner with my sister who's in town. (Some of you may remember how well this went when she stayed with me at Christmas they have a hotel this trip)
I got there and they ordered without me. (Whatever it's been nice if I knew that they were already at the restaurant) but really no biggie. Dinner is fairly quiet and odd. Idk what to think.
As I'm finishing up feeding Fallyn they both get up get the kids and randomly decide to leave. And just left me sitting at the table.
I was left speechless
Who just gets up plain as day and leaves? It was seriously the weirdest thing.
I even called my other sister and told her what happened and she told me it pisses her off when they just get up and leave like that all the time she thinks they have a secret signal or something for it's time to awkwardly leave (apparently when they are ready there is no messing around and this isn't the first time)
So I was left at the restaurant just chilling with LO at a huge table...
AKWARD
Eta: I don't feel like fixing my spelling and grammatical errors... I bet you get what I actually mean. Just excuse this hot mess of a post
She's sleeping fine now, though. I haven't pulled out the baby tylenol yet. Did you guys give it? How did you know when they needed it?
Emma got 3 shots and an oral vax. She did great all day until she woke up from her nap at 5pm screaming bloody murder with no warning. After 15 mins of inconsolable crying we gave her Tylenol. She cried for another 50 mins like that then went to sleep. She fussed a little at the 9pm feed but was ok. At her MOTN feed I gave her another dose just in case. If I had known she'd wake up like that I would've given it to her earlier but she was showing no signs of pain. I'd give your LO some if she's showing any signs of fussiness but maybe she's taking it like a champ! I was just taken aback by the sudden onset of screaming with no fussiness ahead of time.

Owie!
@futuremrsspriggs
What? That is so weird, especially if they do that often (so rude!). How old is she? Also, they did pay their own tab before leaving, right?
@CactusGirl yes we were at a place that you pay when you order, but they still deliver the food and wait on you etc.
My sister said bye but it was weird. I'm still baffled.
My H wasn't there and he's pissed. It's just so weird.
My BIL will be at a conference the next two days and my Sister is a lot more relaxed when he's not around so we shouldn't have anymore walk outs
Edit mi sister not SIL
@PerkyErky hope your toe is ok
And any other M14 mamas that are hurt hope your ok too
So that's my new random: my list of things to do before we leave just got cut in half. If it's that wet and rainy out, there's no way I can mess with our yard. So we're gonna have to call the crackhead to come do it next week while FIL is here. Oh well. I'm glad DH isn't driving up to work, he's gonna work from home instead because of the flood watch (that spans pretty much his whole 3.5 hour drive).
He had a fever in the evening, but hasn't been cranky or seemingly in pain. We have him Tylenol last night. He has a fever again this morning, but made it through the night just fine.
I gave him another dose of Tylenol about an hour ago.
This is my first kid to ever react to shots really in any way. I was quite surprised.
Happy thoughts to those with hurt boobies and toes. And to those dealing with crazy weather.
Oh and on the small babies @babylimas, Asher is in 10th percentile for weight and 30th for length. Only 9 lbs 5 oz at 8 weeks. He is still wearing some newborn clothes, but not anything with feet due to the length. He swims in 3 month. Pedi isnt concerned because he is gaining (6lbs 11 oz at birth), full term.
What can I say, I make skinny babies.
The visiting nurse came to pack my wound and do her usual once a week measurements. I'm in such a good mood because potentially tomorrow the plastic surgeon will stitch me up. That would be 6 weeks to the day of daily wound packing insanity.
I was under the impression my wound was half a centimeter deep with a tunnel on the side that started at 7cm but had dwindled to less than 2cm. Well OUT OF NO WHERE she goes to measure and discovers that the tunnel actually channels deeper to 4 CENTIMETERS!!!!! WTF?!??
She pretty much told me not to get my hopes up for tomorrow.
I don't understand how this tunnel had been pretty much hidden the whole time?? She's been doing weekly measurements and she never ever came across this tunnel... Which means no one had been packing it?? I don't know what to do.... I can't tell if the nurses screwed up and thus made the wound heal way slower? Was it unavoidable? Did it open up again?? Ugh!
I'm soooo over this I could cry... Actually I did cry. Fuck! I'm so pissed.
And FTR Fallyn is 10weeks and only 10 lbs. pedi not worried. She's right on track on all the charts. 6.13 at birth
:-?
I'll join the small babies crew. Harper was 10lbs 6oz at her appointment last week (10 weeks). She's in the 11th percentile for weight. She's still in newborn everything.
Me: 28 DH: 27
