New week! 

[Deleted]

DH came home sick. He was wheezing, coughing, and having trouble breathing last night so I made him go to UC this morning, which of course he pouted about. It wasn't until I listened to his lungs and told him he sounded like shit that he agreed to go. He has bronchitis and was on his way to getting pneumonia. I'm trying really hard not to be mad, but that isn't going very well. I know it's not his fault he got sick, but damn I need a break. He got two weeks of uninterrupted sleep and I'm insanely jealous of that. I sure didn't have any help when I was sick the last time either so the fact that he's getting a free pass out of fear of getting the baby sick again is inducing a little rage too.

Oh and also we are supposed to make the 6-8 hour drive over mountain passes in bad weather to his parents for Thanksgiving. I don't think we should go, but he's pouting about that too. He doesn't want to hurt their feelings.

omfg @pennycandy, you just need a break from all the sickness around you. Send YH and LO to the ILs for dinner and you find a nice motel to be in all by yourself for two days and just sleep.

@pennycandy I would stick up for yourself a little more about not going to your in laws. You need a break, and with you all having been sick for so long, it doesn't seem fair to you. If you're not up for it, you're not up for it. In laws shouldn't have their feelings hurt over you being sick!

Yes! Also a 6-8 hour drive with someone who is borderline getting pneumonia is a recipe for disaster. If necessary, phrase it that you don't want them to catch YH's bronchitis.

We have had two days of cold weather and people are already complaining about winter and the cold. It's almost Thanksgiving, put on a sweater and shut the hell up!

DH sounds and feels a lot better today. He also apologized a bunch for being stubborn and fighting about going to the doctor.

J has his swallow study scheduled, but they can't do it until December 21st. I really don't think he is aspirating, but it's better to be sure I guess.

I need to figure out some sort of sleep training. Ever since he got sick he's up 2-3 times a night wanting to eat. I try to get more calories in him during the day, but he often refuses to finish bottles. I can't let him CIO with the respiratory issues either.

One recommendation is to start decreasing the amount in the bottle every few days, a feeding at a time I believe. Maybe then he'd start to eat more during the day too?

@pennycandy glad your H is feeling better. Men are stubborn.

SheilaTheTank lol Selena Gomez! We got a little rain yesterday and people forgot how to drive.....ugh!

Thinking about heading to Disney tomorrow. My only concern is the crowds.

Oh crap! Me too. Maybe she can just have mine and only the kids will have stockings.

My In Laws just left today after 5 days. I'm proud of myself for not punching them in the face.  I feel you.

My mom ordered one for LO and I have not.  Rude to just steal it for our house?  Not like he'll be there overnight on Christmas anyway.

Omg! Totally forgot this. Thank you!

[fignewt]

The other day i put K's hair bow in my hair to carry it upstairs because i didnt have any free hands. I forgot it was there an hour later and looked in the mirror and i loved it!
Is it weird if i start wearing bows in my hair??!

I think this is the 9 month growth spurt. LO is nursing like a newborn and pounding applesauce, avocado and banana. I tried to give her some oatmeal this AM but when she finally got a good sized bit in her mouth she freaked out. I feel like I'm out of milk, which I'm sure isn't true, but all the water and oatmeal today

Mine hardly wants to nurse. She's all about solids now and much prefers that to me. That's how the boys were too.... I feel like my supply is tanking. My boobs never feel full anymore :/

5 days?!?!? You're a saint! I don't think I could host my own parents for 5 days.

I'm just trying to gear up for the food/diet comments she makes every time we eat w her. Something like "eat up...we can all go back on our diets tomorrow". Cuz that's not awkward at all.

LO barely eats anything. She was doing ok and then the reaction caused a major setback a few weeks ago. She is starting to recover but she doesn't want to be in the high chair. We've started to let her eat standing at the coffee table just so she eats something. This morning I got her to sit in the high chair for like 10 minutes for the first time in more than a week. But still I would say it's probably like maybe 5% of her calories.

I weighed her this AM and she was 10 oz more than she was at the doctors about 2 weeks ago.

AF returned last night, just as we arrived at our Thanksgiving destination. Nothing like being totally unprepared :/

[paloslee]

My dad came to visit. He basically just showed up without telling anyone. I'm a bit annoyed because he does this often. And this was the first time meeting LO.
