Guys I have a Q- how many muslin swaddle blankets do you think would be s good number to have? We currently have five that are washed and folded and another 4 pack was given as a gift. Idk if we should exchange the new 4 pack for something else at BBB or if we should keep them. Thoughts? Do you have receiving blankets too? I'd probably trade the 4 pack for something else and later down the road if you really need more than 5 get more. They aren't that expensive. No receving blankets yet- just these and then some big furry fleece ones for winter time. Now I'm mad bc I washed the grey ones but I like the blue ones more! #firstworldproblems

jexxa , @easilyunamused , pepperpottsj addymac . They suspected a heart attack. She was admitted to the local hospital late friday but they weren't equipped for proper testing etc - so today they transfered her to a big hospital 2h away today. They performed coronary catherization which showed clear arteries, so no heart infarct, the diagnose atm is prinz metal angina pectoris/coronary spasms. Such a relief, as - while this is painful as F and all - this doesn't/shouldn't cause damage to the heart like an infarct does, as far as I have read. Communication is a little difficult due to the language barrier and what not, and I get all info through my sister or my dad second/third hand.. we don't know a whole lot just yet but most important is that she's in good hands and not in a currently acute situation. We should hear more tomorrow. My dad will probably head over there Sunday and will stay till mum gets released from the hospital so he can bring her home. I hate that I am not allowed to travel cause it's rough being so far away .. there just is no way I can do a 12h car ride so I just have to accept that. But UGH!

muscari Thoughts and prayers for your mom to recover quickly. Sounds like the cathlab came back with good news, but what a scary situation for everyone to go through! Please keep us updated on how things progress. @pepperjpotts Dang, I missed the poof! Stupid Asia time zone. It sounds like the turned out great! addymac We have 8 of those A&A muslin swaddle blankets, and I am glad we have 8! We use them all the time...DS still loves to use 2 of them as a blankie, and it seemed like we were always running out when he was a newborn. I would probably keep the 4 pack, but that's just me. We only used the A&A swaddles and didn't use receiving blankets.

I will not complain about the heat. I will not complain about the heat. I will not complain about the heat... Meh I complain about the heat a lot. But it's also an average of 110* here. And July is monsoon month, so it's humid now too. I'll take dry heat over humid any day!

The heat here finally seems to have taken a hike AND - best of all - took the muggyness with it for now at least. I can breath again!

Also, i finally was able to talk to my mum in person again and that was just the best. It 's been so stressful being so far away and not reallu knowing what is going on. She was transfered from the CCU to a regular ward today so that is good news. My dad drove to Switzerland overnight and will stay with her till she gets discharged and will take her home. Hopefully she will be back home by the end of the week and can continue recovery here.

@starzia I'm so sorry. That is the worst. I feel general awfulness I can't imagine how much worse I'd be if I had an awful cold on top of it. I hope you get some relief soon. muscari yay for talking to your mom and for her getting into the stepdown unit! Hoping she can head home soon. SSDD - I sleep like crap during the day even when I have to go back to work tonight. I am so tired but every position hurts to sleep in. Maybe I finally need to try sleeping sitting up, but I don't see how that will help my hip / back / tailbone pain. My feet are sausages with skinny little toes poking out - it's kind of funny to see, but damn they hurt. And my calves look like tree trunks now 😭 I just want him out but I know it'll screw up my time off so I can't in good conscious wish him out... not that wishing him out will actually do anything about it!

addymac, my feet are quite swollen as well but including my toes! Lil sausages lol. My right ankle is much worse then my left but I guess pat of it is still swelling/oedema (spelling) from my torn ligaments that are still healing. My hands are swollen some too which is more uncomfortable then my feet though.
