The Official New Mom Thread

[justhat]

We're at my mom's house in NJ now. We left Friday night after going to this Christmas display with our friends and didn't get here till 2am! I was so exhausted. We had to stop so many times cause Madison is sick and kept having these coughing spells where she'll cough till she gags and/or vomits. We thought she outgrew it as she hadn't done it in awhile, but I guess not. Well then I started thinking, she would get like this after every cold last winter and then was okay with colds in the spring, summer and fall, but now is back to this chronic cough. So I'm a little worried she might have a mild asthma so when we get back home in January we're taking her to the dr again. The thing is, I know kids get sick a lot, especially once they start daycare/preschool, but for every single cold to last forever (seriously, she's been 'healthy' maybe 4 days total since late September when she got a cold) and then turn into this horrible congested cough with vomiting is a bit much. I don't know how much longer I can take the vomiting every few minutes for weeks at a time so hopefully the dr will have some new insight. Up to now they've just been saying 'she'll outgrow it'. I feel bad too cause now there's baby vomit all over my mom's living room and it smells really bad. So if any of you have any ideas to get the smell out of her couch and carpet, I'm open to suggestions.

Today we're going to a 1st birthday party for my friend's son. This is the friend I mentioned awhile back who thinks she is the world's most experienced parent, despite the fact that this is her first kid, he's not even 1, and her mom is basically the kid's caregiver. They live in the DC area now, but her mom lives in NJ and she literally spends about 3 weeks a month in NJ so her mom will watch her son, including waking up with him during the night. She turned her son forward facing in the car when he was about 8 months old because she said the 'rule' is when their feet touch the back of the seat then you turn them around. She is pregnant with her 2nd kid and, like I think it was Alice28's friend, is totally convinced this baby is a girl. She likes her son and all, but is sorta visibly disappointed that he was a boy and I think that's why she got pregnant again so fast. She asked me in October, right before she found out about #2, if I thought she should try for #2 to come next August. I told her no, that she seems overwhelmed with 1 kid let alone 2, so she should wait till the next August when her son will be 2.5yo (the reason she wants August, get this, is that she wants her 'daughter' to be born on her birthday-okay, like there aren't a million variables involved in that equation). I felt kinda bad when she told me #2 is coming in June since I told her what a bad idea I thought it was, but I had no idea! I hate to say it, but I really want to see how she handles 2 kids when she's constantly telling me how much help she needs with just her son. Not that I want to see anyone have a hard time, but it's just kinda amusing when she tells me all the time how she knows everything, but then how she just 'needs' to go to NJ so she has help from her mom, sisters, and dad. I really don't know how her husband deals with it.

Hmm, oh, and I'm starting to think we really might be having baby 2 sooner than I thought. I have another day or 2 before I really can find out, but I generally know by know that that time of the month is on its way. The weird thing is that as bad as the timing is, I really think I'll be sorta sad if there isn't a baby, but at the same time I really hope there's not. You think that's weird? Now that my husband likes Cleveland best, we'd have to move there in June, so that's what is really freaking me out, that I'd have to find a new dr when I'm about 7 months along. Gosh, I really don't even know what to feel at this point. I think I tried to prepare myself so much over the past 2 weeks that I am sorta getting excited-I guess it's nature's way of helping you adjust.

Anyway, my grandfather just got here to give Madison her Christmas gift before we leave for the birthday party so I should go. Hope everyone's enjoying their last weekend before Christmas without too much craziness.

 

[DisKim]

Justhat - I hope Madison feels better soon! I know what you mean about getting pregnant. Once you suspect, you already get attached and feel sad if you are not. Well, I hope everything works out well for you. Have a great time at your mom's house. BTW, I did the same thing to a friend. She was always complaining about money. Meanwhile, her DH wanted her to get pregnant and she didn't. I told her she should wait and make him find a job first. Well, she found out she was pregnant two weeks later and I had to put my foot in my mouth.

 

[Hillbeans]

Justthat - Welcome to NJ! I live not far from the town you mention (Morristown) in your Location. That's where I had both of my children!
For us also, the one time we knew we were ready to have a 2nd child was when we were disappointed that we weren't pregnant that cycle. Unfortunately trying to have # 2 was a lot harder and took a few years to accomplish, but you're young and Madison is at a great age to be a Sister in a year's time (or so). Best of luck with that! Liam is a joy and Kevin loves being a big brother.

DisKim - so glad Aidan is feeling better.

Jill - Best of luck today with your Christening!!!

Nucpharm - Ugh - nothing is worse than those 1 am poopy diapers!! You've got my sympathy! Hope you're having a good day today.

 

[nucpharm29]

Well, this week started out much better than last. We just got back from church where the kids got up in front and did some songs. It was so cute. DD is a little young yet for the singing, but since DH helps with the 1st grade sunday school, she got to go up front with all the big kids. It was so cute.

Justhat-I know what you mean about the pregnancy thing. this time last year I thought I might be prego, but turned out I wasn't. But then ended up conceiving around valentines day! Even though it's really hard with the 2 of them sometimes (they're 23months apart), it's really a joy to have a new baby in the house again!

 

[lissawynn]

Somehow I just managed to erase the post I was almost finished writing! What a goober!

I'll try to get back on later. My kid is sleeping with a dirty diaper, we're due for my mom's b-day dinner at my sister's in 40 minutes, and my house is a wreck.

 

[justhat]

Nucpharm, we're sorta working on training Madison too and it's not going so well either. I mean, I don't really care if she is trained or not since she's very young still, but kids in her preschool class are trained so now she'll come home and say 'ninny baper', which means 'finished diaper', and then she'll take it off and run around naked. So we bought a potty video (with Bear in the Big Blue House) and she loves to watch it, and if you ask her where pee-pee and poopy belong she'll say the potty, but she doesn't always get them in there. Most of the time she goes on the floor near the potty then calls me to clean it. Hopefully you'll have better luck soon cause I know how miserable diaper rashes can be.

DisKim, that's great that Aidan is feeling better. It would not have been fun for him to be sick on Christmas. Last year Madison was sick on Christmas (same thing as now, cold, cough, and vomiting) and her nose was running in all of photos we took that day. It's great that your other kids didn't catch it either, especially since you will have to be on work all week. Those of you who have work this week, do your schools go back later in January, or still around the 3rd?

Llij, I hope John Paul's christening went well. Hopefully all of the food worked out easily for you and that the clean up goes smoothly. \

Hillbeans, I never realized you live so close to me (when I'm in NJ that is). My husband actually interviews for an internal medicine year at Morristown Memorial (and thought we could live with my mom, which would drive me to insanity, but that's a different story!). My mom lives in Montville, but no one has ever heard of it so I just say Morristown, it's close enough plus I went to high school there. The birthday party we went to today was in Mendham. Ya know, infertility was my biggest fear my whole life. My mom had lots of trouble conceiving me, she had several miscarriages before she was pregnant with me and a few after me. She always wanted 2 kids but that just didn't happen. I have 2 sisters, but they're my dad's from his 1st marriage. Anyway, I really feared that I would have the same problems so when I found out about Madison I was very relieved that at least I'd have 1 kid. Her timing was less than ideal too (she was born 3 months before our wedding, but we were engaged for 2 years) but everything worked out so I know it will this time around too if we end up having a 2nd now. A lot of our friends had secondary infertility too, and they're not much older than me, so that sorta reinforced the fear, but I am thinking now I don't have to worry about that yet. We just saw lots of miscarriages and 'failed attempts' last year and the heartbreak all of our friends went through and how hard it was on them. 1 couple who was trying for 3 years to have #2 finally got pregnant and then their daughter was born at 25 weeks last 12/30 and she died on 1/1. It was the saddest funeral I've ever been to and I truly felt so horrible for that family. Plus she also found out that she basically can't have anymore kids, so it was a lot to deal with at once for them (she had preeclampsia, placenta detached, different Rh factor so the mom attacked the baby when the placenta leaked, vertical c-section across the whole uterus cause the baby was so tiny). But anyway, I don't want to depress anyone right before Christmas so I'll stop. You're right though, Madison would be at a good age to be a sister, and it's relieving to know that your son adjusted well. Honestly, other than moving, my biggest fear is how I'll manage 2 kids. Not like day to day stuff, but I mean Madison is so used to getting 100% of my attention and I don't know how to balance it, especially if it's right after we move to a new place. I know that it's probably one of those things that just comes naturally once the 2nd (or 3rd or whatever) kid arrives, but it's just so scary to me, like I'm doing some injustice to Madison by cheating her out of time alone with mommy and daddy.

Oh, the birthday party I went to today, so bizarre, they combined it with a funeral for my friend's grandmother. Her father is Jewish (it was his mom who died) and so they had to do the funeral in I think it's 48 hours and they had the shiva (I could be spelling that totally wrong) at the same time as the birthday party. So people were there to celebrate the little boy's 1st birthday and grieve for the grandmother. So, so weird.

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Hi, everyone! I have not read any of the replies since I last posted and I don't have time to right now but I will try to see how all of you are doing when I have more time! I hope all of you and your precious little ones are doing well!

Anyway, last week was a very busy, hectic week for me! I did a lot of running around for last minute gifts and things for my dinner I hosted on Saturday night. My FIL watched Kylie for a couple of hours on Thurs. to make it a little easier on me which was wonderful!!! I got a lot accomplished in those 2 hours. Anyway, Friday night we went to my nephew's 5th b-day party. Saturday I hosted "Christmas" dinner at my house for my family. It went well thankfully! I was nervous something would burn or something even though I have never had that problem before. I was just afraid something would go wrong. But everything went fine and we had a nice time. We exchanged presents and Kylie had fun. She is so content to just play by herself for hours in the floor now (and yes, I do mean hours! I cleaned all day Friday and she played with her toys in the floor the whole time except when I had to change her or feed her or put her down for a nap in her crib!) that it has made it easy for me to actually get the house clean these days! It took a long time for her to get to this point and I am very happy with her being 7 months old. It has been the perfect age to date and I wish I could keep her this way forever! She is starting to crawl now and is attempting to get into everything. She also has started to hop! It is the cutest thing ever and something I never pictured seeing a baby do, lol!

Anyway, today we went with my best friend and her 2 year old to her church. Kylie stayed in the nursery with her son. Her son turns 3 two days after Kylie turns 1 but he isn't potty trained yet so he has to stay in the nursery. Once he is potty trained then he will get to move into a children's church class. Anyway, after church we went with her and her dh and their ds to a mexican restaurant for lunch. Let me tell you her ds was a complete terror! I love him but he is definitely in his terrible 2s these days! The scary part is he was just like Kylie as a baby- very happy and calm, never fussy, always smiling...a true delight! I told dh that Monica (my best friend) is making up for having such an easy baby now that he is a toddler and now I am afraid it might turn out that way for us! Hopefully not though! Anyway, the church did a Christmas program this morning which was very good and then the preacher did his sermon. My best friend has been going there about 6 months now and is enraptured with it. I can honestly say I see why! I loved it there and it was only my 1st time going. The preacher is entertaining as well as passionate about what he preaches and the people were sooo nice. It was not a dull service and I think we have literally already found our new church after just 1 service! But we are going to go several more times before we make any sudden decisions! After we got home Dh went hunting and Kylie and I layed down for a nap. Apparently the running around and going here and there wore both of us out. We slept for 3 hours!

Anyway, this weekend (actually all of last week!) was very hectic and busy but it was also a lot of fun! And my house is spotless...probably the cleanest it has been since before Kylie was born! Now if I can just clean a little every day and keep it this way!

We have a get-together (family reunion) on Tues. night and then 2 get-togethers on Christmas but we are through with all my hosting responsiblities so now I can simply sit back and relax and enjoy! I am going to Walmart tomorrow for 2 more gifts for Kylie. I didn't buy them earlier b/c I thought my mom was going to but she didn't so I want to get them. Yeah, I said I wouldn't buy much for her this year since she is so little and all...I lied! She is my 1st and she is spoiled! But I will say she is really into toys and books and everything now so I don't think that buying her stuff will be a waste of money. She is curious as anything and loves getting new things and puts everything to good use. I also have a couple little things to get dh while I am out. After tomorrow I will be officially done with all of my shopping! YAY!!!

Here are some pictures I took last week:

You can see the little stuffed Elmo SL sent in the exchange beside her in this one!

Her hair is strange...sometime it looks darker like it does in this picture, other times it looks very blonde (esp. after it is 1st washed).

This is our tree. We decorated it differently this year than usual. We usually put icicles on it but I worried Kylie would get a strand and choke on it so we went with candy canes instead and she is able to get those too but those are less threatening and I notice when she gets those easier! Our tree is tall so we didn't put anything on top of it this year. I am going to see if I can find something for next year though!

And here are our stockings. Mine is the bear. Dh's is the camoflauge. The dogs' is the bone (can't forget Santa Paws! ) and the cats' is the fish. And Kylie's is the Belle one. And the painting in the middle is one I did a few years back.

Have a great week everyone!!!

 

[Alice28]

Hi everyone----

Wow- Kylie looks so cute!

I've been reading updates on the thread for the last few days, but just haven't had much to add- glad that everyone seems to be doing well, and that Aidan is feeling better DisKim.

justhat- any news to share with us? Will you be doing double duty here on the New Moms thread and at the Moms to be thread?

I've just been playing things low-key. We did a big holiday party at my parent's last night for all their church friends and neighbors. My mom has her house decorated to the hilt! It snowed here in Portland last night! Fun! It's already melted in our area.

Missing DH soooo much; these last few weeks are hard. Just trying to keep busy. Got the upstairs tidied up this morning. Not CLEAN, but at least tidy and straighted up. Still need to scrub the upstairs bathroom though. And now I'm going to try and get Miss M down for a nap and clean up the pit. I mean the living room. We went this morning to pick up our food baskets for Christmas- another fundraiser scored us $40 in groceries from Safeway! AND the family building at the Guard was FILLED TO THE BRIM with toys! I guess one of the stores here did a Toys For Tots type of thing specifically for the kids of deployed Oregon soldiers....good Lord ladies....my kids are so spoiled rotten. They were in hog heaven- it was some really nice stuff too, not just the 'crap' toys. (sorry, but you know what I mean). Josh got a Little People castle set, Molly a LeapFrog baby basketball hoop, and Sam a Lego Knight's Kingdom guy. Like y'all care, but the kids were like, "OK, where do we have to pay?" I said, "No, no guys, other people bought these cause they're appreciative of what Daddy is doing and, to us for putting up with it!" They were impressed! They even had some Cabbage Patch Dolls and I though how that would totally make some little girl's day to get that!

Anyway, I am going to go clean the pit and then maybe get some scrapbooking done today. I'm still a few months behind!

 

[Jenn Lynn]

Alice-I mostly just read here, but wanted to say that your kids deserve it those toys. I am happy for you that your DH will be home soon!

 

[llij]

Hi Everyone!

Well, the last of the company left today and the next batch comes in on Thursday. I'm pooped!

Alice - Glad to hear that your kids got nice presents. You all deserve it! Not too much longer and your husband will be home. How exciting!

Tasha - Glad to hear that your Christmas dinner at your house went well. I love your pictures of Kylie! She is so cute. It is hard to believe that she is 7 months old already. I remember when you announced that she was born. All these DIS babies are growing up so fast.

Justhat - Good luck with everything and keep us posted. Going from one to two kids was a little bit of an adjustment for me, but we quickly got into a "groove" and everything worked out well. We'll be thinking of you and hope that you have some good news to share.

DisKim - Glad to hear that Aiden is feeling better.


The Baptism went very well yesterday. We are friends with the priest who did it and he did a great job. I ended up going to Costco and Wegmans (local grocery store) to get all the food and it was relatively easy. The hard part was having company in the house and feeding everyone morning, noon and night. I'm absolutely exhausted from that part. Also, John decided that he wanted to stay up all night so my DH and I didn't get much sleep. I hope he sleeps better tonight.

Here are some pictures from the baptism.

My husband's family and my family.

I better run now and get some dinner together for the gang. I think tonight will be a leftover night!

Oops....before I forget....Hi to Nuchpharm, Hillbeans and Lisawynn, and everyone else! I'm sorry if I missed anyone.

 

[Alice28]

Great pictures Jill! I thought of you yesterday when I was running around helping my mom with her party and thought "I hope Jill is managing her get together ok!"

OMG- I went to Gymboree.com and looked at the new lines (already Spring!)...SO CUTE! My mom and I earned 3 Gymbucks on Black Friday and I wasn't sure if I was even going to use them. I think Molly HAS to have the turtle dress and HAS to have one or two things from the layette froggy line. For boys it's whales for older babies/boys and I think froggies for layette.

 

[llij]

Thanks, Alice!

I remember the days of buying tons of Gymboree clothes for the girls. I love their little girl clothes. The boys clothes are fine, but everytime I see the girl's lines my heart melts. I miss buying little girls clothes at Gymboree.

 

[zalansky]

Alice - you are a BAD influence on me! If not for you, I would have NO clue about the new line being up, I am going to check it out now. I have $50 in Gymbucks I am dying to spend...I have to force myself to not go in the store and buy things and make myself wait until it is redemption time!!!

Jill - I went back and looked at the pics from Johns baptism after reading Hillbean's post and she's right you do look great for having 3 kids! We STILL need to get Cameryn baptized, we sent the paperwork to the church and are waiting to hear back on a date!

Tasha - LOVE the new pics of Kylie too...she seems like such a happy little girl.

 

[Hillbeans]

Jill - just wanted you to know that I love the pictures from the baptism. You look wonderful after having your 3rd baby!!!

justthat - sent you a PM.

 

[tkyes]

Hi all!

Jill - I'm so happy to hear that the baptism went well. That would be so hard having to entertain people for the weekend as well as have the baptism party. Good work!! Yes, you do look great!

Tasha - glad your parties went well. Great new pictures of Kylie. Tyler hops occassionally too and is getting around way too well now.

justthat - best of luck to you. Keep us posted! I hope Madison is feeling better too.

Alice - You guys deserve it! Enjoy!!!

Diskim - Glad to hear Aiden is doing better, poor guy!


Our weekend was so busy, but went really well. DH graduated on Friday, I was so choked up!! We hosted two parties this weekend and they went great.

I have a batch of cookies in the oven right now, so I need to run. You know, I think the reason that they don't run new tv shows right before Christmas is so that we can all get our stuff done at night! The only thing I need to sit down and watch tonight is the Gauntlet. (Isn't Jo a freak? What did she think she was getting into?)

Talk to you all later!

Tamie

 

[justhat]

Jill the photos of the baptism are great. I was thinking the same thing, not only do you look great for being a new mom, but your 3rd too! Very impressive. Glad to hear the party went well and wasn't too stressful.

Tamie, congrats to your husband! Must be nice to know he's finished and see what he's accomplished, especially with a little guy at home. Some of my husband's friends from med school have 3 young kids and I honestly don't know how they manage all the work and their kids-it's hard to have enough time to fit everything in.

Hillbeans, the DIS wouldn't let me reply to your PM, server too busy or something, so I'll try again later. That's neat that you're from around my area too-it's so rare to meet anyone who's heard of the town.

Tasha, very exciting that Kylie's crawling now! And right in time for the holidays and decorations! Just wait till she starts pulling up on everything. She looks adorable in the new photos!

Well, no news yet from me. I'm thinking though that no news means there really is news, I just haven't been brave enough to buy a test yet. I'm usually very regular, in fact the only other time I was late was July 2003, and Madison was born was due 3/12/04 so you can figure that one out. (I said due cause she was born 2/26 and pairing that with July didn't seem to make as much sense.) I have to go to the store now though to pick up some more Triaminic Vapor patches for Madison so maybe I'll splurge on the test too. I told myself the other night when I was in the store that I should wait cause I don't really want to waste $15 if I don't have to. I guess I still have to wait till tomorrow morning to use it though, and Joey's leaving around 5am for an interview which means that I'll be alone all day with the news which is making me a little more nervous. Oh well, I guess I can always come here and tell you girls! I think if I find anything out I'd wait to tell my mom cause we have to spend the next 2 weeks with her and I know she'll be less than thrilled. She's got this thing about not having kids any less than x years apart, I say x cause that number seems to vary with her, I think between 3 and 4 years, so I know I'll hear tons of comments about how I'm being very selfish to Madison. Ugh, I think that's one of the worst things for me right now. You'd think at my age I'd be over any criticism by my mom, but no, I love her and all, but she's constantly telling me about how I do everything wrong with Madison and I just know a 2nd baby now would be like the end all for her. I just always feel so bad when she constantly complains. Advice would be one thing, but this is not advice so much as complaints.

ANyway, I should get out to the store now.

 

[zalansky]

Tamie - we are Gauntlet watchers too, as a matter of fact it is recording right now! At 37 years old you'd think I'd be over MTV but I love the shows. Yes, Jo is nuts. That was so wierd how she freaked out like that. I must go back and watch that again, this season is going to be a good one.

Justthat!!! HOW EXCITING! I am so behind on this thread I had no idea you might be pregnant! Yes, please do come here and give us the news...that is great and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[justhat]

Okay, so I decided to deal with it and just buy a test when I went out to get Madison the vapor patches (poor thing is still so sick). It was one of those kits with 2 tests, so I thought, what the heck, I'll take one now since I have another one. And yep, it instantly turned positive! Now that I know for sure that baby #2 is definitely on its way, I am even more confused than I was an hour ago. With Madison I cried and thought "OMG this can't be happening!" (Yes, I know terrible reaction, but I was so, so surprised and very scared. I took a nap and woke up a much happier and more excited mommy to be though.) This time though, it was more "Wow, I can't wait to have a newborn again," and then "Oh no, what am I gonna do with 2 of them!?!" Maybe cause I was thinking about this for 2 weeks now, as opposed to it being a total shock the 1st time. The only thing that made me think I was wrong was that with Madison I had several symptoms by the time my period was due and this time nothing really. Last time I was waking up every night to potty as though I drank a gallon of water before I went to bed, my breasts were so sore, I was consantly tired and hungry, and it was uncomfortable to sleep on my stomach. This time, other than a little general nausea (which I had been attributing to the flu-like illness I had almost 2 weeks ago) I feel fine.

My husband is sleeping and since he's gotta get up for an interview in a few hours I decided against waking him up to tell him so now I've gotta wait till he gets home tomorrow. He knows it's a possibility, but he thinks I exaggerate everything so he doesn't really think I'm serious yet. When we talked about it he said he'd be really happy to have another one now, but I don't think he thought about how it would affect us moving and stuff. Okay, well I should go to bed cause Madison's sick and will inevitably wake up many times coughing and vomiting, but I just had to tell someone and I can't tell any 'real' friends before I tell my husband so I figured posting here was the best thing!

 

[Alice28]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS JUSTHAT! I got the chills reading your post! (I cried the same cry when I saw the positive with my first- he wasn't planned ). Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!

 

[Tasha+Scott]

OMG, Congratulations, justhat!!!! I am so, so excited for you! Don't worry, things will work out just fine! This means that there will be about the same age difference between Madison and the baby as there was between my brother and me. I was born 2/28/81 (I was due on March 31 by the way so I came early too!) and he was born 8/8/83...and he and I are literally like best friends and have been our whole lives! So I personally think that is a great age difference. But I know what you mean about your mom. My mom is the same way. I think she thinks there should be about 4 years between my kids but I have already told her that we want between 2-3 years and that it's our decision and she has accepted that. And my MIL was terrible to us when we told her we were preg. w/Kylie. Kylie was planned but we didn't tell anybody we were trying in case we had trouble conceiving or something. We had been married almost 5 years when I found out I was preg. but my MIL basically told us we were stupid and she wasn't happy for us. It put a damper on our excitement to say the least! But anyway, she eventually did come around and we are getting along so much better these past couple of months. So I am sure your mom will eventually be just as excited as you are in time. Keep us posted and please continue to stay on this thread even if you go to the moms to be thread. We'll miss you if you don't! Oh, and if you had found out you were preg. last month I could have gotten a little something for the baby too when I sent Madison's exchange! Oh, well, maybe next year!

Alice~ Wow, only 3 weeks until your dh is home!!! This thread is just full of exciting and wonderful news today!!!

Jill~ Great pictures! I agree that you look really great! And I am glad things went well. Hope you get some much needed rest tonight!

Tamie~ Glad your parties went well too and congrats on your dh's graduation! That is awesome news! I would be so proud of him too!

Well, I am officially through with all of my Christmas shopping after running around all day today and now I am exhausted and broke. I ended up buying (and spending!) more than I had planned but oh, well. We have the family reunion tomorrow night and then Wed. I am taking it easy. I need a day just to regroup. I think I will clean my house tomorrow before the reunion (yep, it's already a mess again! ) so that I can spend Wed. just relaxing and nothing else! I love the holidays but man, am I pooped! I think I will go to bed now to get some much needed rest! Goodnight everyone!

ETA: Thought I'd add this once again!
