In other news......How is it possible that my baby girl will be a whole YEAR old tomorrow??? Seriously, this year has just flown by and I am sad that my baby is no longer a baby! How are you ladies handling the fact that you LO's are about to become toddlers?
It really hit me today. I went up the really long steep stairs to my shop's accountant today and realized that a year and 2 days ago I walked up the same stairs and started my contractions 15 minutes later. That really drove it home to me. She just looks entirely too little to be one!!
Yep! Tomorrow is the anniversary of when I went in for a non-stress test, fully expecting to just get sent home again, and instead got told to go home, get my things, and head to the hospital for an induction. 33 hours and a c-section later, we met our little man. For me, the birthday celebration really begins tomorrow afternoon. I know I'll be remembering things all through the days leading up to his actual birthday. It has gone SO quickly.
I've been thinking about this time last year too. It's amazing how much LO has changed, and how much I have changed too! We've still got two weeks until LO's birthday, so it hasn't hit me yet that he's growing up. I'm really enjoying him right now, seeing his personality emerge and watching him learn new skills!

Lol, I had a non stress test shortly after I started having contractions (right after the stairs). The Dr didn't believe they were real contractions though so I went back to work. Left work early because the contractions were distracting...then 30 hours and a csection later I had my little Dragon! Sounds like we had similar stories!

@sporty1216 Hope your LO is feeling better! Sickies are no fun
Thanks, @smushi! I think he turned a corner (hopefully). He seemed to get a second wind at bedtime and was pretty hyper and happy. Sleeping now--hopefully for the night! Hoping that helps him kick this thing to the curb.
Getting ready for DD's first professional pictures tomorrow. I can't choose so I have 5 different outfits and a random assortment of shoes, socks, tights and barrettes. I haven't even thought about my own outfit for the family pics!

DD was supposed to have her well child check up and shots today...they had to cancel due to sick staff. No big deal, except the first appointment that they could offer to reschedule wasn't until MAY! So now she will be a whole month behind on immunizations, grrr!
We really need to get some professional pictures done too! I had scheduled some with a friend a few weeks before Christmas, but she ended up sick with a stomach bug and couldn't do them. We were on a timeline because they were going to be used as gifts for all the grandparents and we couldn't reschedule in time so we just had another friend that dabbles a bit in photography do a mini shoot for us.
It is nearly impossible to find a damn hair band with a flower in the town where I work. I just took a long lunch and ran all over the place trying to find one for DD's photo shoot tonight. Poop!

If you have a hobby lobby they have a bunch of cute supplies to make one. I was there the other day and thinking how it's a good thing I have a boy so I don't spend tons of money on making headbands . Come to think of it, I bet even Walmart or similar places might have stuff to make one too. Good luck!
I can't believe my baby is one tomorrow! I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve, and he won't even know what's going on, really. Looking forward to a fun family day tomorrow. DH and I were both able to get the day off. Starting with a birthday breakfast out and we'll see where we go from there! Wheee!
So the doctor that saved both me and my 3 year old DS with an emergency c-section was just found guilty for murdering his wife. She was killed just a few months after my DS was born. Very creepy!
She has craniosynostis, premature fusion of one of the skull sutures. She has to have surgery to correct that and try to even out some of the twisting that happens as a result.
It's so exciting!! Ours is Saturday. I can't believe it! The other part of me is freaking out because surgery is at the end of the month....
I was just thinking about you, I saw an article on yahoo I think where they showed baby's helmets that were painted by artists... there were some really cool designs!
March siggy challenge: Dream job = Playing with wolves
There are some awesome ones out there. A lady in Washington can do anything. I'm hoping we will avoid a helmet but they said if she is walking they will do one for six weeks for protection. She cruises like crazy and is starting to stand a little so it may not happen.
Thanks guys I appreciate any t&ps. It's pretty terrifying, I'm not going to lie. I have waves of anxiety about it but try to be in the moment so I can enjoy her now. I equally want it to be over with and not be here.
I quit my job yesterday! But then my boss started telling me she was carving out a new role for me that I actually might like. So I told her I'd think about it. I don't know what to do. My work environment is not great and I've tried to quit in the past but ended up staying. I feel like this job could give me a background that could set me up for some career changes down the road, but I'd have to put up with more shite in the meantime and a work place that couldn't care less that I have two kids that I'd like to see.
I am seriously going to shoot DH. DD had her drs appt this am and of course got shots and blood drawn for lead testing. She is understandably miserable and I had planned for her to be home comfy and in familiar surroundings until tonight when DH would bring her to my SILs for her birthday party. So what did DH do? Apparently decided to take her to visit his dad...who will be there at the party anyway! She was already screaming before he left because she is cranky and had to be rushed through a bath and dressed. So any guesses on how she will be tonight after no nap and going from one strange place to a house full of people and sensory overload?! Aaaargh!!!
March siggy challenge: Dream job = Playing with wolves
Glad it worked out, @BADASBKRCK ! We had a somewhat similar scenario tonight, but with less ideal results. The good news is that I had anticipated a melt down and arranged for my DH to get a ride home from his sister if/when we went home early!
It's our big day! I can't believe it but at the same time it's been a little anticlimactic. SO got roped into working so it's a day like any other...he's also gone this week which I'm nervous about for no logical reason.
LO has what can only be considered essentially the flu. He's had a fever since Wednesday, lots of drainage, some throwing up, and general feelings of every surface but me being hot lava.
I was really hoping for us to join my parents for Easter service tomorrow and then lunch, but I think there's an 85% chance he'll still feel like crap tomorrow. I had high hopes of taking him to see the Easter bunny today, but those were dashed. Sigh... I guess he'll still be One for his '2nd' Easter...
And thanks, girls! He definitely was much better today, no fever, so we went to lunch at my parents' house. So thankful for a chance to get him out and loved on
BTW, we totally missed April's challenge for siggies. Anyone have a good idea for April challenge, or should we all just go back to having a signature of our choice?
Well. I finally got the stomach bug everyone else has had. Just finished puking my guts up while also sitting on the toilet, losing everything that way. On the up side, I do feel better. And, of course, my DH slept through almost all of it, even though the bathroom is right across the hall and all door were open. Fortunately, LO slept through it too. And, of course, my parents leave today and LO has his one year check-up. No real sick days for mamas, I guess. Here's hoping we all make it! Ha!
@Sporty1216 oh no! The stomach flu is the worst! I had it back in January and could barely function for two days. I hope you feel better fast and get through your day okay!
