I've turned what could have been a really shitty day into a great day! DH left for work at 6a, I was leaving at 7a and discovered he'd left with the car seat :-/ We both work 23mi from home, plus his shift had already started, so him bringing it back wasn't an option. I tried to figure something out for a while but finally text my boss and explained what happened and he agreed to let me work tomorrow instead of today. I was really looking forward to my last weekend before returning to work full time being a three day weekend, but what can you do. Instead I've spent all day holding Jacob :-) He has been snuggling and nursing all day and falling asleep on me between feedings. I feel like this is a great use of time to get all the extra snuggles and help increase my supply with the skin-to-skin. Yay for a snuggle day!!
Crawling out of the shadows... CSection pain had gone down SIGNIFICANTLY! The wound has gone down by 2 cm. I still have a while to go but I can function and take care of Robert and thus I'm less miserable. Oh and I caved... I told DH I needed another contraption to keep Robert content in since it was such a struggle to hold him... Mostly true!
It's only been a week or so but I've missed y'all!
Oh and speaking of Facebook (was it mentioned here? I can't remember)... Am I the only one who can't figure out how to balance the two boards? When I want to start a new post/discussion/question/whatever I have no clue where to post it!
My random today. My friends text yesterday and said "want to do a 5k Saturday?" My dumbass signed up and secretly I hope I kick everyone's ass (chances aren't good at all but a pp girl can hope) What the fuck was I thinking?
Uh. My random today: my boss might die. He was on a hike with his kids and one of his boys fell. Well when my boss went to catch him he slipped (they were in a river). Fast forward 3 days and his left foot has been amputated, and he is in ICU with a 40% survival rate from catching necrotizing fasciitis aka flesh eating bacteria. If he lives past Saturday his chances of living are better. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. This shit just doesn't happen in real life.
@Jt7dreamz PNW. I think they were hiking Denny creek. But not sure. I know a lot of our area/tributaries have some sketchy stuff in the water thanks to all the wildlife.
I'm going to post this here since this is the reg watering hole.
Dh and I were friends for a few years before we got together. The first time we had sex was on the hood of his car on some random road in GA. I was trashed (I was 19) and well.. I was really.. really.. really... horny. (Obviously) and he got lost.
Anyway... We were friends with benefits for months before I finally said I cant do it anymore cut things off then finally we became a couple.
Funny story- but I'll kick the boys asses if they ever do to a girl what I let DH do to me. It was stupid and I was young and thank god he's my husband now.. if not I would be ashamed.
This gives me irrational anxiety for when Robert is a teen. Clearly not something I need to worry about yet but it crosses my mind all the time!
I may have thrown electronics due to TB, buts it's really all of M14s fault, I love it too much to stop coming....except for my 3 month hiatus...New baby alone and getting back to work was an understable distraction
Edit: TB still refuses to send me emails from board posts even though I have it set to send me them...grr
Can I put an open letter here? I need to vent before Saturday.
Dear DH,
Just because you preface your annoying comment with 'I'm completely supportive of breastfeeding', doesn't mean that you are. Telling me how much easier life would be if we bottle fed is pissing me off. Really bad. Yeah this is freaking hard sometimes. For me. Not you. So stop being a douche. I'm doing what's best for our child and am blessed to be able to do so. The next time I want to complain about it, politely listen and say 'way to go, you can do it, or great job.' Those are the only acceptable replies.
@SomersIsles Hooray! I'm so glad you're getting better!
@CHPhotoMama DH is way more nervous about nip than I expected. When we were at J's 2 month appointment I had to nurse while we were in the exam room waiting on the doctor. DH handed me a blanket to cover up with! I don't think he gets how most people wouldn't even notice.
Fuuuuuuuuccccccccckkkkkkk. Fuck fuck fuck. I'm so mad!!
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.
I had a csection and the recovery was so tough...and I didn't have anything like this. T&Ps this gets healed soon so you can MOVE ON.
We had some sad news yesterday. Our seniors graduated on June 1st. A group of four boys went on a trip to celebrate. One of them died during the trip. No one really knows why.
In his memory, a charity donation to help get people clean water was started. In two days they've raised 48,000. It's one of the things I love about Kuwait. When something bad happens, people really come together.

Sorry to be a downer.
I think that's awesome!
2 LV police officers were assassinated (I say "assassinated" because they were gunned down while they were eating lunch) and a local bakery raised $53,000 in one day. The proceeds will be disbursed between the officers families and the family of the Good Samaritan who tried to stop one of the shooters. It's such a good feeling to know there are still good people in this world.
Re: The Randomest Thread
Edited to say: of course carry on elsewhere!
It's only been a week or so but I've missed y'all!
Eta for clarity
@SomersIsles Glad you're doing better.

Glad you are starting to feel better @sommerisles. Happy thoughts for continued recovery.
That's great news! @SomersIsles

@Kacie - that's so scary. T&p that he's okay.
