Just remember for next year, the traditional gift for a 9 yo is a bottle of jack that they have to drink before midnight on the day of their birthday, or else they have to sleep in the shed for the rest of the year.

Stringent posted:just want to go home or is there something wrong with it? it’s just a weird catch-22. kiddo is on very light supplemental o2 because she had respiratory distress when she came out which was compounded by the hypothyroidism. she can’t tolerate sitting in a car seat long enough to pass the car seat challenge (90m), so she stays until she can, and none of the docs really has a plan other than “keep on keepin on”. it’s more irritating because the specialists for the underlying condition are at the _other_ hospital and can’t come to this one, but we also can’t transfer her because there’s no “medical necessity”

my 1.5yo is doing the dangerous and annoying thing where she throws her head and whole body backwards when she's frustrated. i can't wait until she stops that. tired of being on high alert when she decides to go suicidal.

Our daughter was due July 5th but we had the C section scheduled for July 1st since our first was a cesarian baby. Welp, my wife went out Thursday night with friends and never fell back asleep. Got home at 11 and woke me up at 3am Friday and we had to get her parents over real quick to take care of the 2 year old while we headed to the hospital. The baby almost came out naturally, my wife was 9cm dilated by the time the doctor arrived at 5am. Both births now my wife has had to go through nearly full labor before a c section. This baby is way healthier than our last one. Ate within the first hour and started pooping on the operating table. Totally ready to go home and take all the attention away from my son. I had been packing the last week of the quarter at work with all sorts of last minute crap and it's an incredible relief to just say gently caress it, I'm gone for the next two weeks and someone else will take care of it.

in a desperate move to get out of the house, I’ve been taking the kids out to Do Thangs like get groceries or go to the local aquarium or poo poo like that when my wife works, and it’s heaps of fun luckily they’re not the melty downy type and if one gets upset that she can’t get a toy they can get talked down from the ledge of going nuclear in the middle of Target today I had a few hours to myself to go get a golf club fixed, run to the Nike store, and grab some poke while I was out and I was downright lonely without my oldest telling me about how “she’s going on a mission to help mama takin care of babies” or whatever

I've (painfully) learned very early in our first kid's life to keep away from their head if I'm not in their line of sight.
