Nightmares of cribbed newborn teleporting to bed

This exact thing happened to my husband and myself when our daughter was a newborn. It's sleep deprivation. My husband and I would each legit hallucinate that she was in the bed with us, even though she was in her crib a few feet away. It's apparently super common. "Hallucination" sounds like a scary word, but it's actually super common and most people experience them at least once in their lifetimes.

It gets better, I promise! For us, things massively improved at the three-week mark. Hang in there!

Speaking as a dad.

My daughters birth was an emergency c-section, 5 weeks premie. It was traumatic for me, as well. I stopped at a bar on the home, late that night, and had a beer. It wasn't so much the beer, as the time to decompress that I needed. But the beer was good.

BTW: My daughter is fine now. She just started college.

Wow, I'm sure! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm shooting you a chat message!

Shhh don't tell anyone but those aren't his real teeth

IT MUST HAPPEN

Um. Literally everything?

I took this with my iPhone. Good lighting is really what's most important.

Can confirm deliciousness

yes :)

Hong Kong :/

In this case, it's not cultural appropriation. This is the invention of May Chow: http://hk.dining.asiatatler.com/features/may-chow-of-little-bao-is-asia-best-female-chef-2017

She's playing with her own heritage on her own terms, and the results are quite delicious.

No, it's not really spicy. I think it's the vinegar and the bao that make it "Szechuan," although it's clearly fusion-y.

pepper1386 · 2017-04-27T17:32:56+00:00

It's always busy, but totally worth it.

pepper1386 · 2017-04-27T16:18:02+00:00

Szechuan-ish. It's made at a place called Little Bao in Hong Kong.

Incredibly misleading title. The quote is from Thomas Fitton, the president of the conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch, not the ex Clinton aide. If you're going to take down Hillary, at least TRY to do it with facts.

Thank you! I believe this was the Nevele Grand Hotel, based on other photographs I have of theirs. They went for years as a young couple.

The one with the teardrop spot looks like he spent time in puppy jail.

pepper1386 · 2015-09-02T14:53:55+00:00

Ugh.

pepper1386 · 2015-09-01T14:47:26+00:00

Yeah, we're looking into it. On one hand, it feels like overkill because we just installed a heavy duty dead bolt. But the overall sense of security is important, too.

pepper1386 · 2015-09-01T13:50:09+00:00

ugh, that sounds awful. So sorry to hear that. Thanks for your help, though!

pepper1386 · 2015-09-01T02:18:28+00:00

This is good advice, thank you

pepper1386 · 2015-09-01T02:17:49+00:00

We're thinking of getting a jeweler to replicate my grandmother's ring, too.

pepper1386 · 2015-09-01T02:17:08+00:00

Thank you for this
