Yep, normal. I had carpal tunnel pretty bad with each pregnancy. I used the braces and it helped a bit. It went away right after the babies were born. I do feel like I'm getting it again, but I think that's just life. My mom had to have the surgery on both hands about 10 years ago.
Lice is the worst. I made it through 11 years of parenthood until the two older girls were struck with lice at summer camp last year, and they brought it home to Bonnie. WORST. There was a lot of olive oil and combing for a week or so. 3 girls with long hair and lice = hell.
I do think you're probably okay. But...lice suck. We don't use it all the time but I keep Fairy Tails shampoo and conditioner on hand and we all use it every once in awhile.
I don't know why camp doesn't screen kids for lice...wtf. You'd think that would be part of the nurse check-in procedure.
Weird. When I was a camp nurse we screened kids at check in before they could go to their cabins. I just asked DD1 and she said all of her overnight camps check for lice too.
I know, super weird. I was there as a counselor, too, and they definitely didn't check for lice. Just went over allergies and any medications, etc.

Prayers! I don't know exact odds, but I do know a few people who had babies at 24-25 weeks that went on to be healthy kids. It's amazing what hospitals can do for preemies.

You're a great mom. I lose my shit on the regular, of course it's not ideal but it happens occasionally. I get frustrated that H is the fun guy who plays with them and gets them all riled up when he gets home. He works so much they see him for 2-3 hours per day from when he gets home to when he goes to bed, while I'm here all day making them do school work and chores and enforcing rules. It's a hard balance. I am sure the crazy morning rush to get everyone out the door makes it even more difficult. Hugs, lady.

Her name was Casey McKay and she was my long-lost twin sister. I wrote lengthy letters to her in my diary for wayyy longer than I should have had an imaginary friend.
