Re: Weekly Randoms 2/7

  • @and_peggy I am so sorry you and little dude are going through this, but good thing you trusted your gut got that second opinion! I hope the surgery goes smooth and he recovers quickly! 
    Ditto to what everyone else said about the headaches. I was getting pretty bad headaches for a few weeks there but they’ve stopped. I would call the doctor just to be safe. 

    @itsme215 ugh so sorry about the raccoon problems. Is there anyone in your area that you can call to relocate them?

  • @and_peggy I'm sorry your family is going through this. I hope all will work out, surgery goes well, and be better after. I'm with you on the headaches though, and that does not help everything you are going through.
  • @leahrnmom sounds like you did the best you could to assure him that he would be taken care of properly. I hope he finds the help that he needs. 
  • @and_peggy to reiterate what others have said, good on you for getting a second opinion! I haven't been in your position when it comes a child having surgery, but I'd be equally nervous about it if it was my kiddo. But getting it done now sounds like the safest option. Good luck and keep us posted!
  • Woke up to a sick kid 😩 The flu has been running through daycare so she will be headed to the doctor today. Doesn’t this always happen on the ONE weekend you have full of plans??
  • @tmartin014 Awh poor kid and mama. I’m sorry!! Hopefully it’s just a cold!
  • @tmartin014 daycare germs are the worst. Hopefully the whole house doesn’t get it 
  • @leahrnmom I just read your post from yesterday. That's awful that he felt so sure he would be mistreated/not taken seriously/not provided care. I'm glad you were able to be his point of contact. Hopefully your kindness helps him make a smart decision when he needs care. 
  • @wigglyicecream @paytonpedro thank you! It’s the flu 😩 MH and I have had our flu shots so hoping it passes quickly and doesn’t spread! 
  • @tmartin014 ugh darn. I hope your kiddo is on the mend quickly!!
  • @darkrose88 the sticker chart is a great idea! I'll have to try that. DS1 loves stickers. Did he take to #2 on the potty as easily as #1? 
  • @aukeev So DS was day time potty trained by 3.5 (& has been night time potty trained since he turned 4 - so like for about a month). But we started potty training at age 2.5. He was more prone to #1 accidents when we first started then #2. Something about #2 just made him run to the potty every time. But #1 seemed to be harder for him to notice. We had to remind him constantly. Your experience may be different because YS seems motivated to go #1 in the potty. Mine was not at 2.5 (which is why it took us awhile to get daytime potty trained). 
  • Are any of y’all noticing an issue with your drafts not saving? I have had several instances where I typed something, then was debating posting it so went to catch up elsewhere and then decided I wanted to post and my whole entire thing was gone. I almost exclusively use Safari on my phone so idk what it’s doing. 

  • @mangoandguava that was happening to me with the bump app maybe a week or two ago? It was driving me crazy as I'd just exit from the app and to check a text and then my entire message was gone. I think they've fixed the issue on my end for now. But I feel your pain. It is so frustrating. 
  • @starkette my mil touched my stomach the other day and keeps calling my baby Anja-which we will not be using. So while she hasn’t told me I’m big yet, I feel like it was already implied and is coming around the corner. Just here to commiserate. 
  • @wisewitch222 I was just so shocked by it. Surely my face said “wtf are you doing?!?” because I can’t hide what I’m thinking at all. 

    @fromfurmomtobabymom8-2 yeahhhh. Most of my work knows and I haven’t told anyone except my sister in law who used to work there with me (she just left a week or two ago). I’m actually thrilled that she told people because it’s so weird to tell people I don’t talk to that I’m pregnant. Also, the ultrasound last week definitely got the word out lol. There were like 7 people gathered in the room watching and gawking over her lol. That was weird. But I just tried not to look behind me. 
  • I got a “Promoted to Mommy” shirt, because when I volunteer with kids at Awana and other things, I'm around a lot of people, and it would be tiring to tell everyone who  I wave/smile at/talks to me, we’re expecting, but it’ll also open it up for people to talk about it/not be afraid to bring it up. The people I talk to regularly there, I’ll obviously tell, unless they read my shirt first. I’m still not showing at 11.5 weeks and so when I am ready to talk about the pregnancy, I may just look bloated, not pregnant. I don’t want to have to wait for an obvious bump or have to bring it up every time. Additionally, I have a rule for myself to not even ask a 9 months pregnant person if they are pregnant in any circumstance. I have run into friends I haven’t seen for long periods of time, and there’s been times that they’ve been very obviously pregnant, but I ask how THEY are, not if they’re pregnant. They always comment on their pregnancy and then I congratulate them. There are veryyy few friends and family members I’ll be okay with touching my bump. Otherwise I’ll probably be like “EXCUSE ME?”🤣 Like it’s still my body. I’d rather you give me a hug. My body is not just about the baby. 
  • I took off here for a couple of days and was sucked into reading a couple of books which has been nice. I did try to catch up today. If I didn’t I was afraid all the missed notifications would be too overwhelming 😝
  • @mangoandguava oh yeah. This is my 3rd and I still don’t feel the slightest bit prepared.

  • @mangoandguava I’m totally right there with you with some panic! I almost feel like some nesting is even setting in, which it’s way too soon for that!

    @wigglyicecream yeah. There’s no more protecting my heart. I’m completely smitten and attached at this point. 

    @mdfarmchick glad to have you back after a nice reading break 🙂
  • Well. Today did not start out how I imagined. It’s gross y’all. 

    Ds1 came in the bathroom while I was getting ready for work and had diarrhea, which he also had yesterday. After he was done he told me he felt like he was going to throw up but left the bathroom. 30 seconds later, he came running back in with a hand full of vomit and continued to empty the contents of his stomach in the bathtub because he wouldn’t make it to the toilet. There was so much throw up. All across 3 rooms, all over me, filled the bathtub 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I threw up trying to clean it. 

    Ugh Lordy. So needless to say, I didn’t make it into work today. 
  • @paytonpedro oh noooooo!!! I'm so sorry! I hope he feels better! And you too! 
  • @paytonpedro that is one of my worst fears, getting sick after seeing my child get sick. Don't know how my mom just sat there holding my hair growing up.
  • @bridgiebee82 thank you!! 

    @fromfurmomtobabymom8-2 I usually have a very strong stomach and even started out patting his back but my pregnancy nausea got the best of me. Gosh it was a tough morning!
  • @paytonpedro your poor son and poor you. I gag super easy at puke. Not looking forward to any version of your morning. Hope it stays puke free. 
  • @wigglyicecream I can usually hold it together but not today 🤢 thanks. I hope it’s over!
