I love you guys. Thank you for being as equally outraged by this bake-off nonsense as I am! I'm kind of at an 11 over it. Still. They obviously felt bad for the other people. I mean, the poor dear couldn't even bake her own cake.

Uh no jubilantsquirrel decorating a cake is sum lazy shit when it comes to a bake off. Rude! We really need to put a stop to the bug talk people!! I like to live my life thinking those things don't exist. Also, my H is gone and my kids drove me to drink this baby tonight. I bought the bottle while grocery shopping this morning around 7:45am because I knew I'd need it!

vino thanks for asking. I guess I was partially expecting it. I'm still a little sad and a lot a bit scared though. I'm thankful that I followed my gut. It's time for my girl to start feeling better though. It kills me to think of all the shitty days she has had.

Thanks for all the well wishes for M everyone. We're still hopeful that the blood work she's getting on Monday will show that she can have both things baked and that in a few years she'll completely outgrow it. It does look like her MSPI, or at the very least MPI, will stick around until 18+ months and it was recommended that try and breastfeed for as long as possible because of that since so far we haven't had any problems in that department. I forgot to ask about the flu shot and if she's able to have the regular one or if we have to find the egg-free alternative. I hope I don't forget to ask.
Something that is really sticking with me, and I can't really shake it, is that for the first 5+ minutes of the visit the allergist spent time asking how I was and holding up. It really made me realize that other than my husband she is the only person IRL who has asked me how I'm doing. I want to once again just thank everyone here because there are days like today when I realize how much every one of you keep me afloat through the good, bad, and mundane days. I love you all. ❤️

Hugs sophiegrace. Sounds like you have a really caring physician on your and M's team. That is worth its weight in gold. Anecdotal, but we have friends whose twin girls both started out with horrible allergies...eggs, dairy, you name it, they were allergic. Now they're going into Kindergarten and have both completely outgrown them. So there's hope.

There isn't much in the way of...well anything...in our location so I feel incredibly fortunate that not only is our pediatrician amazing, but that the specific specialist that we happened to have needed is also here and just as amazing. I actually thought of you! She had the prettiest Lilly dress on today. I'm also still so hopeful she'll outgrow them. All the indications are there that she will. Allergies in general just scare me and I'll be tense until she's safe. My kiwi allergy landed me in the hospital at 19. Was at an outdoor party and next thing I know I was waking up in the ICU. I can still remember the look on my mom's face when I opened my eyes. It's a look that I can viscerally understand now that I have my own baby.

What year was electricity invented? Because I apparently live in the year before that. Power outage number 179274738 of the summer. Balls.

We are finally back at the hotel. What a night! The kids were absolute angels and DS stole the show. Like no joke, after the ceremony when they did the wedding party intros, he ran full steam and laughing with glee onto the dance floor when his name was called, then did a victory lap around the whole ballroom just laughing the whole time. Later he danced with his Spiderman doll (his ring bearer gift from the groom) and the party really started when we changed him into his tuxedo t-shirt. D was a little doll and I'm pretty sure she ate more than I did. I love these babies you guys. I'm certain I'm living in the best days of my life right now, and trying my hardest to soak it all in. About to post some pics on the private board. tgrimes I got you 😉

jubilantsquirrel Just no. You cannot WIN a bake-off without, you know, baking. You were robbed!! But I love the idea of a bake-off for charity. I might have to propose that for the spring service project. sophiegrace I'm sorry you're dealing with the MSPI and severe allergies. You're a rock star mom. Really.

Well, I ended up getting sick yesterday afternoon and most of the night, and then K started throwing up overnight. The boys are ok so far so we are quarantined.
I'm feeling better now, and just put K for a nap. If she is ok after waking I will attempt to nurse her.
We move on Monday! So kind of needed this weekend to pack, not be sick.

Ugh the worst starbuck. I hope it stays contained to just the two of you and you're both feeling completely better by the afternoon.
