inthekitty we always held our breath too. There’s one we pass in Maine near my parents’ place that takes forever to drive past bc the speed limit is only 25. That one was always the true challenge.

joelies and wineallthetime feel better. My friend with the baby that was born same week as C came over today. We still like each other. The babies didn't meet because one or both was always asleep. I have to pick up the kids in a bit and drag all of them to DS1's therapy appointment.

Guns are sadly a part of US culture so you can do your best to teach your kids what's appropriate like with anything else, but hard to eliminate any talk about it. wineallthetime I hope you start to feel better soon. joelies, ugh, that's awful. Take care of yourself. flamingo, great news! tallb, I'm glad she's recovering, but I'm sorry she's not back to her old self.

DH has a meeting tonight and I have volleyball at 7, so I have a sitter coming over. We'll both be done around 8, but I told her 9 thinking he and I could have a short mini date. The first thing that came to mind was grabbing a drink, but we both said we weren't going to drink this week. So I suggested meeting at Target and walking around alone for an hour with starbucks in hand. haha #romantic but I can't think of anything else!

Does anyone know at what point you have to go in for fluids while pregnant with a stomach virus? I'm not there yet, but curious. I've thrown up twice and had diarrhea twice (TMI, sorry!) In the last 2 hours. I'm trying to get a couple sips of water down now and will look to see if we have any pedialyte.

MH and I do a lot of mini date nights where we get an appitizer or dessert. He will get a drink too and I'll look longingly at it over the table

I’m not sure where or why she got the idea, but I kind of like it. (And yes, I realize the irony, considering my fear of flying).

wineallthetime I’d call my ob to check when/if they want me to come in. Also popsicles might a good way to get some fluids in. Sorry you’re feeling crappy!

I love the mini-date idea, slenle , good for you! I vote for coffee and dessert, and whoever suggested cheesecake ( nam2013 ?) is a girl after my own heart. eta: but having just been at Target with 2 kids, I think a Target date can be fun, too!

wineallthetime I'd probably give your OB a call just to check in and see what the threshold is. Hope this is just a 24 hour thing.

Thanks all, I mean I'm super grateful she is doing well, just life, blerg. And I know I'm so lucky and sometimes play the what if game, which is stupid.
Anywho, the surgeon was as lovely as I remember and he definitely remembered us and was very impressed that she is living independently and getting around. He cleared for to drink the occasional glass of wine, which is a relief, bc I felt like a wine Nazi over the holidays since I thought she wasn't allowed to have any. Now I'm at McDonald's near home having fries before fetching the kids.

Glad your mom is doing well, tallb. Sorry your lungs are still giving you trouble, joelies. Once you've had pneumonia it's like every flu is serious business. Hope you're able to get lots of rest. wineallthetime Hope you're feeling better soon.

Hi!
I had a growth scan today and P looks great. Still right there around the 50th percentile. We got a look at 4D and I think she has the same features as X.

tallb Glad your mom had a good appointment and is cleared to drink a bit; #priorities! I know her life might never truly get back to "normal" (her old normal) but I know y'all must appreciate each little step in that direction. It's so crazy how something like this can happen and just completely turn the world upside down. Enjoy your french fries.

tallb, that's great. I'm sure it's so bittersweet. Of course you're thrilled she's doing so well, but you miss how she used to be. I'm sure anyone in your shoes would feel the same way.
