@shanparadise OMG!!! I couldn't can imagine. That is the worst thing I've heard in a long time. My heart breaks for your friend also. Good riddance, 2016. I agree.
@shanparadise@TiffRox81 I so agree with both of you. 2016 has been a terrible year except for the birth of my sweet happy little boy. @shanparadise your friend is in my prayers. I cannot imagine that pain. It hurts my heart to think about it especially now that I have a baby of my own and it being such an unknown reason. Love to both of you.
So...we attempted the NYE block party....twice. DS was WAY too overstimulated. There were at least 50 people and it was infront of a neighbor's house. He was fine until people wanted to see him and talk to him and then someone touched him. It was just too much. He started screaming and was inconsolable until I walked home. He didn't even want to nurse! The second we got into familiar setting, he calmed down and wanted to eat. Poor little guy. Too many new sights, sounds, smells, too much everything. So we are staying in.
@shanparadise That is a real tragedy. Your friend and her family are in my prayers. I hope she can heal from this. What a horrible memory for that holiday.
July BMB Siggy Challenge: Weird Hot Dog Situations
Well we all survived NYE!! It went better than I thought. With her door shut, and sound machine on, she wasn't a bit phased by the activity downstairs!!! She did wake for her feeding around 11:30 and my friends begged me to bring her down for a quick hi. I thought I'd instantly regret it but she did good! Then went back up to bed for the night. She woke up one more time which is typical...but everyone was gone by then. All in all a success!! Glad that's behind us.
Re: December randoms
That is truly heartbreaking. I cannot imagine what that feels like.. especially on Christmas Day. Whew.
