PS Mommies Thread!

[Jas12]

Hi momsies --spent the weekend in toronto visiting my sister. Co had a super looong day on saturday. 4 hours in the car followed by visit at my sister'', a trip downtown for a festival, shopping, an hour-long walk, a ferry ride to Toronto island, a picnic in the park, some shopping on the way back downtown and finally dinner at a nice indian restuarant. We packed all that b/w 6am and 7:30 pm. He didn''t even fuss 2 mins the entire day and it was so hot and busy on the streets. oh how wonderful it would be if he was that easy tempered while we are on our cruise.

Wishful thinking....

Lili--Re: your questions about feeding. Co eats for about 15 mins every 4 hours. For the past couple of weeks his schedule has *roughly* looked like this
6:30-7:00--wake up and eat
play
8:30ish--nap
play
11:00-eat
play
1:00-nap
play
3:00--eat
play
5:00-nap
play
7:00-7:30--bath, eat and sleep
(i then ''dream feed'' at 11pm and he''ll still usually wake at 3ish for another feed--but iam working on getting rid of that one)

How is your night weaning going? Any luck? It''s hard b/c it is so much less effort to just nurse for 10 mins and then put Co right back to sleep with no struggle. I know that if he gets weaned for eating in the night we will both sleep more but it''s that week or two of stuggle and 3am crying that i can''t get past

...........

i need some help with wording something--and i know you guys are all bright so throw me some ideas.
I have a cute pic of Cohen that i want to frame and give to my friend the massage therapist/coach that helped me during labor. I am going to suggest she start displaying pics of the babies she helped bring into the world since she has a big beautiful office with a huge display shelf and nothing on it. I want to put a caption beside Co''s smiling face so ppl know she had some sort of connection or role in his birth. I originally had "Diana helped deliver me" but that isn''t really accurate and is kinda blah. Anyone have ideas for a caption??

Hey good to hear from u!! Glad to hear Co was so well behaved thru-out the day ....as for the quote, how about something along the lines of ''Thank you for helping Mommy bring me into this world''.. or is that just too cheesy??

Hello mommies! Happy Monday! I have a few minutes so I''ll try and start catching up....

Tgal~How is it being back at work? I read you thought maybe Amelia was going through some teething. Just wanted to let you know T''s teeth went up and bothered her from 4 mos on and off until she finally got them at 6 mos. They would swell and she would have a hard time eating and sleeping for a couple days and then they''d go back down. Fun stuff this teething. I think T might be working on her top ones now!

Tacori~Ironic you mention it....I went to the Carter''s outlet last week and picked up some 12, 18 mo and 24 mo PJ''s. Also, Target has some larger flannel ones with feet in on sale right now if you still need more. Your new avatar is soooo cute! Is her hair getting darker now? T''s kind of is.

MrsM~Sorry Amelia isn''t interested in napping. T went through a phase where she didn''t nap as well (only 45 min-1 hr) and it was hard. I can''t imagine no nap!

Diva~I''m sorry you''re having a hard time. As the others said, it does get easier. I cried all the time the first couple weeks. My poor husband felt so bad and wanted to fix it....but I didn''t have any clue why I was crying half the time!

Quick Tayva update: She''s getting so big. Crawling all the time, pulling herself up onto stuff. She slept in until 9:15 on Saturday and 9:30 on Sunday morning this weekend!!! I think she''s lacking sleep since I have to wake her at 7:30 to take her to daycare during the week. Even with sleeping in like that she still napped well! And.....she finally said mamamamama!!! I seriously thought she was only ever going to say dadadada there for a while! I know she doesn''t know what she''s saying, but it still melts my heart! Back for more later.....

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Burk, oh good! I kept forgetting to tell you. Now that fall is coming they will be easier to find. I think T''s hair is a light brown. Not sure it was ever *blonde* though a few people called it that. Her hair and eyes just keep us guessing. I have always thought she will have green eyes. I think I might be right. We''ll see.

Don''t you all ever wonder what babies think about? I could seriously stare at her just wondering. Too bad there is no way of knowing!

 

[divergrrl]

Hey everyone!! sorry I''ve been so MIA, a lot has been happening around here & I''m just too tired to post!

Kiddos are good! I just designed Delaney''s 1st bday invite!! GASP! It''s next month.

Tgal: If you tell me my D isn''t a "baby" any more I''ll just cry! Thats so MEAN! She''ll be my baby when she''s 40. shoot, Jake is my almost 4 "baby". I had to laugh at your mom''s comment...babies don''t need to "exercise" their voices. LOL...the crap my MIL tells me is like that. "Your cat will suck the air out of her & kill her" or "You''ll get sick if its cold outside & you don''t have a hat" or, well...you get it. Trust me...when our girls are teens, we''ll wish their vocal chords had atrophied a little as babies & that they''d shut up already!!

Man, I am SOO SORRY you ladies are having such a rough time in the beginnings. Aside from my nursing woes, I guess I had it pretty easy. I long for those early newborn days, they pass too quick for me.

BUT...that being said...I had a TON of help. My dad& stepmom moved in with me for 5 weeks when D came & it was a godsend. I got to sleep & let them deal with kids when I was too tired. Sleep is pretty much the thing you need in those early weeks to not feel like you want to crawl into a hole. I swear, sleep deprivation is evil.

I think we all need to make a pact. When our children have children, let''s take enough time off to be a REAL help to them...take the kids so the parents can go on vacations, etc.

Tgal: My bff IRL had a baby last month & she asked me if she''s a bad mom for not "falling in love" with her infant immediately. I told her of course not (he''s waking up every 2.5 hours to feed...you know the drill) and that I had a friend (that''d be you!) who felt that same way until her baby started sleeping/interacting. I think she was happy to hear that. She has nicknamed him Yoda though. LOL. I''m dying to go to L.A. and get my hands on him!! I think I''ll have to send her & her dh out to dinner alone....but I''m glad you were so candid & honest, because I think its important for women to hear that motherhood is not all roses & sweet smelling cherubs. Some days you are covered in sh!t. Some days its vomit. On very special days, its both.

Me? I fall apart during the Newly Mobile Stage. OMG. My personal circle of HELL. This timeframe kills me. I''ll take wakey newborn blobs over wobblers/toddlers anyday. Give ''em back when they are 2.5 to 3. No wait... 3.5. Wobblers are on a death mission & I kill myself each day to keep her from killing herself. Toddlers are whiny a$$ monsters who live solely to torture their parents with boundary testing & the trick is to stay calm, cool, and collected. Hmpf. Why I drink as much wine aka WHINE as I do. LOL.

I found Jake made me crazy when he started walking, and it didn''t get better until he turned 2. Then he got whiny at 3 and is just now coming out of it (at 3 years 8 months) Delaney was a dream until she developed A) an appetite for EVERYTHING I''m eating, even if its beyond her capabilities B) a voice she''s not afraid to use, loudly I might add and C)a desire to do whatever her brother is doing. I mean, I''m proud of her and all, but really punkin, do you HAVE to scale the stairs/hearth/Mt.Everest just yet? So I figure I can''t do ANYTHING until she''s 2. no cooking, chores, anything that requires I take my focus off her, lest she jump off the 2nd story deck or something. Its ramen, lean cuisine, and slimfast shakes for the next 12 months.

It''s why I''ve been gone, girlfriend keeps me TRUCKIN!

But...on a positive note, she''s the biggest snuggle bug with me. When she''s done conquering the furniture, she wants her mommy, and wants her bad! She''s my girl for sure.

Well, other than that, I went to my 20 year reunion a week & a half ago..SUCKED. Can we say cliquish? My dh was disappointed, because his 20 was so fun & everyone was so friendly. Mine was pathetic. I''ve been in a funk ever since. I just felt like..yes, I was never popular, and yes, I was ignored all through school, and no, I really don''t fit in anywhere. It took me back to that isolated, angst filled time in my life, which I left behind long ago & I don''t like it. I''m coming out of it, but it really knocked me down a bit. And unexpectedly as well. Oh well, I looked good at least! LOL. (thank goodness for girdles!)

 

[divergrrl]

Ok, how hella funny is that..oh yea...mom is SO SEXY in her black dress & heels..and baby formula, bottle, wipes, dirty counter tops. PRICELESS!

The diaper trenches ladies...the diaper trenches. I was on a day pass.

 

[lili]

Diver
Sexy mama!
You looked fantastic! Can''t tell you''ve got 15lbs from your first preggo on you.

 

[msb700]

Diver: WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ur one HOT MAMA!!!! G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S!!!!!

 

[lili]

Jas12
Sounds like Co is an absolute angel when you tote him around.
I''d be lucky if I can keep J calm for an hour outing

I''m so jealous of Co''s feeding.
J is still taking about half an hour to feed and I still have to feed her 6-7 times a day.
Part of the problem is that she just takes her grand ole time eating -- a few gulp and snoozes for a bit.

I did tried weaning her of the nighttime feeding.
She''ll usually go down around 9 pm and wake up at 2ish to eat then another at 6ish.
But lately, she''s up again every 3 hours....so 9, 12, 3, 6.
So the other night, I just let her cry and fuss a bit when she woke at 12.
First time she cried (more like fussed), I just rocked her back to sleep.
Half an hour later, she''d fuss again. Again I rocked her, but she woke back up and cried....
I put her down and let her cry for a minute....and picked and rocked her...
Did this 2 more times...finally she fell asleep and didn''t get up until 6 am.
The next night, I had to rocked her once when she woke up at midnight!!

But the following night, she was up very hour though....and I think it is because she didn''t eat enough during the day.
But then last night, she was able to go through the night without eating, but I can hear that she''s not getting a sound sleep.
She''s grunting the whole night, so I don''t know if I want to continue with this weaning.
She does wake up in the morning famished.

 

[divergrrl]

Lili, oh thanks hon...but I do..if you knew me before, you''d see I''m definitely a padded version of the old me.

Msb...thanks honey!

Ok...I was perusing newborn Delaney pics (ok, so not smart when I''m mourning her infancy coming to an end) and I found this pic and it just made me laugh. Its old..May perhaps? so she was 7 months old. Her expression checking out her belly cracks me up. She & I....have the same figure it seems. LOL

 

[msb700]

hahahahahha!! thats such an adorable pic....its amazing how much change ur baby goes thru when u compare how they look today to a picture taken only a few months ago!!

lili: love the new avatar!!

ETA: lili: its great news that she managed to go longer thru the nite! I guess they will just have their good days and bad days until she settles on a pattern..

 

[divergrrl]

Lili: how old is J now? When my kids teethe, they are pretty miserable. D is better than Jake was, but she still wakes up a ton when cutting a tooth (we are working on tooth #7 THIS MINUTE) and her appetite drops drastically.

Hang in there, it will get better. D weighs 20lbs, so I give her 3/4 tsp benadryl and 3/4 tsp childrens motrin at night (I got the dosing from my ped...they do it by weight, so call yours for the correct dosage) and it knocks her out. I forgot to do it the last few nights (didn''t know tooth #7 would come 5 days on the heels of tooth #6) so I remembered tonight and hopefully I will get some sleep.

I drugged Jake for the better part of his molars. I know some might be horrified, but benadryl is non-narcotic, and not habit forming. Well, for the kid anyway...LOL. And I slept, they slept, and my ped was FINE with it. So pffffffffffffft to anyone who might give me guff for using it for what seemed like a month at a time during those awful molars. I''d do it again in a heartbeat.

I BIG PUFFY HEART BENADRYL.

 

[msb700]

Diver: i used to give my son some meds before he went down for the nite to help with the pain, but then i found out i was better off WITHOUT the meds! he would sleep just fine for the first half of the nite, then as the effect of the medicine starts to wear off, hed get worked up and wake up frustrated..so i ended up stopping coz i was better off with him sleeping with the pain there since he wouldn''t notice a massive difference later..wondering if this is true with all kinds of meds?

 

[divergrrl]

Oh crap...speaking of what kids weigh etc...I noticed Jake''s head is now higher than the back of his carseat in dh''s car (which i drive 90% of the time). ARgh. Its an Evenflo that goes up to 40lbs, and while Jake is nowhere near 40lbs, he''s the height most 40lbers are.

Good thing D''s carseat in that car is black & goes up to 100lbs. I have to switch seats tomorrow!

 

[divergrrl]

MSB: its true all things affect kids differently, but with both my kids the motrin/benadryl keeps them asleep from 8pm to 8am or even 9am, which is their normal sleep schedule that they do normally when not teething. If I don''t dose them before bed while they are teething, they wake up at 1am, 3am, 5am, etc.

One thing to remember is that motrin works for about 8 hours. Another is that you can layer Motrin with Tylenol every 3 hours. So give Tylenol, 3 hours later Motrin, then Tylenol, then Motrin etc. You want the last dose before bed to be the Motrin one so they have pain relief all night. The Benadryl knocks them out & lasts all night for the most part .

Hope that makes sense..

I''m off to bed!!

 

[lili]

Awwww Diver,
That bath pix of D is funny but oh so cute.
I remember that pix (or one similiar) when you posted it like it was yesterday.
Can''t believe that she''s almost one already.

And I did see a pix of you pre-preggo.
I''d say you carry the extra weight very well then

J is 4.5 months.
I don''t know if she''s teething, but she''s a drool machine.
My shoulder would be dripping wet when I hold her.
She loves to gnaw on her fingers and mine, but she''s been at them since a month ago.
I''ll have to come back to this page when she''s really teething.

 

[lili]

msb
Hehe, thanks.
My niece just send that pix to me.
She took it when they were babysitting her this past Monday.

TGal
Glad to hear that Amelia is back to her sleeping schedule.

Burk
Wow, T is crawling and pulling herself up already?
And how sweet is that she's calling out for mama too.
Can't wait for the day when J starts talking.

 

[Mrs Mitchell]

Hey Diver, you didn't look good dressed up for that reunion, you looked FANTASTIC! You have a beautiful, impish smile and you looked HOT in that dress! Sorry the event made you feel bad. If it's any consolation, my 10 year reunion was the same. No one I used to hang out with was there and I didn't even recognise half lf the people who were there. I found out later that three of my good high school buddies were doing jail time, which is why they weren't at the reunion!

Burk, I would give my right arm for a 45 minute afternoon nap! Truly. I shouldn't complain because Amelia sleeps pretty wsell at night but a short break in the afternoon would be heaven. I love yoour avatar pic btw, she looks like a little baby model! Actually, I just noticed that Amelia had fallen asleep as I'm typing. She will doze on my lap for half an hour but she screams blue murder if I try to lay her down. At least one of us is getting some rest! I hate to say it but I think DH might be part of the problem. He's home 4 days out of 7 and he just holds her most of the time. She is adorably snuggly and it is tempting, but maybe not a good long term strategy!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Diver, we missed ya! You look wonderful! I will not even POST a picture of me

I guess it is time to stop feeling sorry for myself and start DOING something. I hear ya on the mobile destructing machines (our daughters). T can climb a few stairs

Good thing her legs are so short b/c it really slows her down.

I am jealous benadryl works for you. We gave it to her when we were flying to vegas...nothing. She didn''t get sleepy at all. D''s bath picture is so cute. What do you have planned for her first b-day?

Lili, J''s hair is PRICELESS! I love it!

 

[dani13]

Diver, you look AWESOME!!! I SERIOUSLY LOVE your hair!!!! And you look great!!!

 

[Burk]

Tacori~I wonder what''s in T''s head all the time! Too funny. Oh, and my T was pretty blonde but she''s becoming more of a light brown....maybe someone might actually say she looks like me finally! It''s all a guessing game....but a fun one at that!

Diver, so sorry your reunion wasn''t fun! At least you looked good!

lili~Yea, she''s crazy....crawls everywhere and tries to pull up on everything. She''s only 7 months so she''s not really able to pull up on everything, but that doesn''t stop her from trying! We''ve got our hands full already. I need to get some baby gates.

mrsm~I can totally relate to just wanting a little break. T is back into a good nap habit, so I really can''t complain and she''s always slept well at night (not counting her bad reflux times). Have you tried a nap in the swing? T took great swing naps when she was littler! How old is she again?

We had Tayva''s baptism last night. We did it during the Monday night service because they''re shorter and we knew our crazy baby would need to get down and crawl. She was so good and I''m pretty sure so entertaining....she was doing acrobatics in my arms, talking while the pastor was talking, looking up at the fan and laughing at it, the list goes on. I was so entertained with her that I was actually giggling while I was supposed to be reciting some lines. Bad mommy!

 

[Mrs Mitchell]

Burk, she''s three months but hasn''t napped in the swing for a few weeks now. It used to be a lifesaver, now it makes her howl! Did you get lots of pics of her baptism? Hope you gad a wonderful evening. Amelia''s will be on the 14th Sept.

 

[divergrrl]

Here is D''s party invite. Of course I changed the phone number & took our last name out..but you get the drift...LOL. Gotta love photoshop. I just got them all printed off, I need to send them out today. We are doing a whole chinese themed bday party. I''m decorating with paper lanters, year of the Pig decorations (that was her year she was born in) having chinese food, beer & mandarin orange drop martinis (for the grownups). I have a little satin traditional outfit for her, shoes etc.

 

[Skippy123]

Diver, what a cute invite! D, is adorable, love those lashes; Wow, 1 already!?!?! You looked great for your reunion; I love the haircut!

 

[curlygirl]

Hi Everyone!

Just doing a quick drive by to check in on all the mommies! Thank you all for the good wishes for my mom. Who knew that laparascopic surgery would be so traumatic for my poor mommy?! Plus the woman has never touched a drug in her life so the after effects of the anesthesia and morphine drip really threw her for a loop. I was actually really scared that she would be permanently damaged but as soon as they took her off the pain killers, she got her mental capacities back. Now that she's physically healing, she's just dealing with the pyschological trauma of all of it--depression, realization of mortality, etc. But I'm going to take Lily to their house this weekend so hopefully that will cheer her up. I hate to be a whiny, selfish brat but I really need my mother to snap out of her funk since I'm having a baby in less than 5 weeks!

Diver, you are one HOTTTTTT mama!! You look fantastic. I actually blew off my 20 year reunion in July. I honestly feel like it would have been clique-y too and I really can't deal with that crap 20 years later. Plus I'm pregnant so I wouldn't have been drinking and wouldn't feel glamorous enough to tell these people where to stick it! And now that I'm on Facebook, I've caught up with all my HS cronies and I realize that there is a reason why I haven't stayed in touch with them in 20 years so no need to go and see them in person!

OMG, edited to add that D's invite is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I wanna come!

Tacori, I ALWAYS wonder what is going through Lily's head! She is seriously a trip, I wonder if she realizes it. She will sit there and play with her toys by herself and she's constantly singing/talking to herself and it just kills me! She also will take something and move it to another spot with such conviction--it's like she has a whole plan in her head but I don't know what it is. She also has a sense of humor and it cracks me up. She'll make a move like she's giving me something and then she'll put it away and LAUGH hysterically! There are lots of little things like this that make me wish I could get inside her little head!!!

Jas, sounds like Co is doing great. Keep up the good work, mama!!!

msb, Cheerios are a staple in our household! Not to mention, we never leave home without them. They are a great little snack and I don't think they can choke on them because they have a hole in the middle--at least that's what DH tells me!!!! But they do dissolve anyway and I think they are great because it helps them develop their pincer grasp.

TGal, I absolutely love how honest you are about your initial feelings about Amelia. It's very normal but most people won't talk about it. I think new moms need to know that it's ok to feel that way--I think it only gets bad if they are thinking horrible thoughts about their baby or want to cause them harm.

Burk, Tayva is growing up so fast!! I can't believe she's already crawling and pulling up. She'll be walking in no time!!! Glad her baptism went well--we need some photos!

lili, I don't have any advice on the weaning but I hope it gets better for you soon. The drooling definitely sounds like a sign of teething, especially if she's also putting everything in her mouth. She is just such a cutie pie--love your avatar photo. Great hair!!!!

As for me, I'm just living my life as best I can!!! I'm 35 weeks now and had my first internal exam yesterday plus the GBS test. Fortunately, I'm just fingertip dilated and the baby is still high up although she is head down but not yet engaged. Is it crazy that I'm just not ready to have her come out yet?! I mean, I'm dying to meet her and get this whole thing started since I have so much anxiety about having 2 so close together so I feel like once it's a reality, I can just deal with it instead of listening to everyone now who can only tell me how hard it's going to be. Why don't people ever want to share good stories?!

But I'm fine with waiting it out if she happens to be late. It's pretty funny how laid back DH and I both are this time. We're like, "ok, we've already done this--no big deal". I hope we can maintain that feeling once she's here!

Lily is a rock star these days. She just impresses me more and more every day with her level of comprehension. She understands waaaaaay more than I could have imagined and repeats everything we say--I actually have started to be careful about some of my own vocabulary! She now points to my belly and says "baby" although I know she really doesn't understand what's going on and probably never will!!! She is really into babies these days though. At daycare, she plays with all the dolls, swaddles them, gives them bottles, burps them, etc. And she's quite the little helper at home too--closing the dishwasher for me, throwing things in the garbage, putting things in the hamper. She is so much fun to be around and has a great sense of humor. We're going to be moving her to a different daycare next week (closer to home instead of my office and waaaaay less expensive) so I'm kinda nervous about it because she loves where she is now and is really attached to her friends and teachers but I'm sure she'll adjust in a few weeks. She has to, she has no choice!!!!

So that's me in a nutshell. I'm super busy at work too and will be working up until I actually go into labor, just like the last time. I'm just getting everything set up for my maternity leave as we're going into the busiest period of the year (great time for me to be out!) but I will try to post as often as I can. I miss all of you!!!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

Burk, congrats to you guys. Sounds like T was adorable as always!

Diver, what a cute idea for her party! Love that photo. D is such a pretty girl but not sure she and T look like sisters anymore

Curly, can''t believe you are so close! Did you pick out a name yet? I remember saying how it took me around weeks to like T. Though at the time we had a regular who had an opposite reaction to the birth of her child and kind of made me feel bad about it. The same thing happened to my mom and she warned me. Mom was right! I did not have that movie moment when she was born but I adore her now and that''s all that counts right?!?

 

[snlee]

diver, you looks fabulous girl! I love your sparkly shoes too.

I can''t believe D is 1 soon. She''s adorable! And I love the bday invite!

lili and Tacori, I love your new avatars. J and T are so cute!

curly, good to see an update from you! You are getting so close! I can''t believe you are working up until you go into labor and taking care of a 1.5 year old. You''re super mom! I''m tired just thinking about it!

 

[Jas12]

Msb--thanks, i used that wording you suggested--to the point and much better!

Lili--if only J would nap then i know she would take a better feed and start going longer during the day and the night--now, how to get that little bug to nap is beyond me, she just luvs to be in the thick of things! You must be tired eh? I only get up once or twice and i am still exhausted (but i am also still recovering from my insomnia and have a few sleepless nights once in a while)
Yes, Co is an easy traveller--i think i forced it on him thou. We are always on the move so he''s had to adapt since he was just a few days old. I just can''t be at home so the poor guy has to come along. I
just hope he stays so adaptable. So does J just get fussy when u go out? Will she sleep in the stroller or carseat?

Diver--cute invite and you looked smokin for your 20th--too bad it was a flop. I hate cliques--ugh, i am glad that part of my life is over now, but like u i''ve noticed some ppl never move beyond that.

Tgal--how''s work going? the nanny?

Curly--you sound busy but good--wow 35 weeks already! Lili sounds like So much fun. I think she''ll be a great bib sister. esp if she is showing interest in the baby dolls. I think she''ll be as ready as she can be. And as for the daycare switch. She''ll adjust. i remember new kids coming the the center i worked at and i think the transition was more traumatic for the parents. I few days and she''ll be fine.

....
I had my pelvis checked today--apparently my sacrum has not yet descended or shifted to where it should be post-birth and, get this, it has a lot to do with hormones! Flippin hormones are messing with every part of me, first the sleep, now this. My physio said until i wean CO my joints may not go back to the way they were before (due to the relaxin etc). weird eh? Good news there is no structural damage so i just need to take care of myself with exercises and wearing a special beltetc. but i should eventually recover. I think i just have to live in a sore, exhausted body for another 6 months or so when i wean Co.

Cohen had his first shot yesterday and he has been sleeping, sleeping, sleeping. He is not fussy, no fever or swelling, just very tired. Poor bug.

I am looking forward to an ''adult event'' tonight. I have a book-club wine and dessert thing. i am happy i got thru the book in time. I think i joined just to prove to myself that i could do something other than change diapers and nurse

 

[Dreamer_D]

wanted to say two things: Diver you look great, I never would have guessed 20 years out from highschool. And Tacori that is the best avitar of Tessa yet!

 

[Tacori E-ring]

snlee, thanks! I am tired thinking about Curly too!

Jas12, sorry to hear about your progress. Who would have thought your pelvis is still not recovered. Take care of yourself and enjoy your book club (what book was it?)

DD, thanks! Her cheeks are so kissable in that pic!
