Random thread- for all things random.

Re: Random thread- for all things random.
I may not always appreciate everything I have, but I pray I never take our relationship for granted. Four years ago, I never would've thought she would be rushing to me during our son's t-ball game to cuddle my baby girl.

Co parenting win!!!! I wish all blended families could cultivate that level of teamwork.

This plus this times this exponentially this.
1. SILs father passed away of a massive heart attack at 58. So sad... he was the greatest guy and DH and I are very close with the family since he grew up with her and she ended up marrying his brother. I feel terrible.
2. DS had to have surgery on Tuesday (he's only 3 weeks) and we had to stay overnight. Hardest thing I've ever done is hand him over to the anesthesia team. He did great but it was so stressful and we had to stay overnight so sleep was at a minimum.
3. Someone syphoned (sp?) gas out of our truck while we were away at the hospital for DS' s surgery. This after the truck was broken into and GPS and stuff stolen a month and a half ago.
4. We got home tonight around 945pm after dinner at my parents to find some sort of small critter had chewed through our kitchen screen and eaten a bunch of stuff in our kitchen. Called the maintenance dept since we live in an apt. Took an hr and a half for them to call back and when they came and looked around said they think it was a squirrel that came and went. Then proceeded to tell DH that we should just keep our windows shut and that they'll try to trap it maybe on Monday. But to keep windows closed. That's fan - freaking- tastic... I wanna know if they're gonna pay the electric bill for the central air conditioner we now have to run that when set at 70 still only keeps our apt at maybe 77 degrees if we are lucky.
Coping mechanisms are completely spent. I'm so done. =[
So we are both down for the count.
She brought her in last night so we could spend a couple min with her before she put her down to sleep and it just about killed me.
She wakes and cries and I can hear it but I can't do anything about it. I just want my baby back.
And I'm barely getting 20ml combined from a pumping session right now.

I hate baby socks. He never wears them unless in public. Even then I prefer footed sleepers. I usually just throw a blanket over his feet and torso at stores. People will side eye you for are baby feet (in Texas) Plus he has a knack for getting poo on his feet. I'd rather wash his feet than a million socks
I'm sitting here in the nursery working on thank you's, birth announcements, and the baby book while LO sleeps/coos/plays and all of a sudden I hear these three loud, long TOOOOOOTTTTS.
Very nice little man.
I'm curious how this can be a "thing" in Texas. I'm picturing a sign at the entrance of Target hinting at the ridicule your bare-footed baby will face.

Terrible pics but, at least I got them.
Also, does anyone else notice their LO's schedule gets off on visitation days? No matter how much we keep him on track, he ends up fighting everything, needing to eat more/less and getting overtired (even when we put him to bed at his usual time). I am ready to quit having visits because he ends up 2 hrs past bedtime so exhausted from crying he's puffy and we are so frustrated that nothing is working. My guests think I have the devil child but when no one else is here, he's the easiest kid!
Well she calls me this afternoon and says "hey um we are not going to be coming back anymore". I immediately start crying and wondering wtf?!?! She told me she would be here for a least two weeks to help after DS was born. She was here for 2 days. I'm so confused! She told me her mom is sick, very sick (my grandma) and she can't keep neglecting her. I'm like ok, that totally understandable. But still you say, never coming back. I can feel this is not truthful.
I text her later on and said please be honest. She then said two families cannot be under one roof. She said you know what I mean. I'm like no I don't I'm not a mind reader. I don't know, there's obviously some things we need to talk about. This is not like her. She also said she could be here a few days a week when I return to work. I guess that went to shit too? Did I scare her off with all the babies?! Lol! Fml!!!!
