Monday Is back

[yummeecookee]

How is everyone doing today?  Particularly the moms and kids who haven't been feeling well?

[yummeecookee]

That's huge progress @peachsmama! I can't get C down, not nursing, w out lots of tears. Last time I nursed though was Thurs, so we're not going back.

I hope Jack feels better soon!

[wineallthetime]

All the sick babies and parents need to get better!!

I'm watching my 15mo old niece today, so it'll be a busy day!

guster, he could be allergic. I would discontinue it. The pedi can prescribe something else for him that isn't related to penicillin. Cadence is the opposite, she can't have anything EXCEPT penicillin based drugs. She gets giant hives. The first time it happened they covered almost her entire body and I freaked out.

[klongoria11]

I stayed up late reading and then Cadence woke up around 1:45 calling for me. I brought her back to my bed and spent the rest of the night listening to her cough or receiving said coughs in my face. She was fine this morning, still coughing, but her congestion isn't nearly as bad as Saturday, so she is on the mend.

I'm at work, reading more opinions. I'm ready for these acquisitions to be done, but the last deadline is mid-February, so I'll be reading a lot until then.

@peachsmama, that sounds like they didn't mix it correctly at the pharmacy.

Thats what I thought to but she didn't tell me it was gritty. And DH is also allergic and said he remembers this stuff from when he was a kid.. So does his brother. 

Yuck!

[trtlcrzy]

Morning! DH was told he wasn't needed at work today so he's home. I have plans to go to the gym and finish grocery shopping. I also need to call and reschedule S's tube surgery because our insurance is still messed up, which makes me mad.

[klongoria11]

Cadence is wearing little knee high socks with bear faces on the knees. It may be the cutest thing ever with her little uniform dress.

Speaking of allergic reactions, since Matthew can't have any of the penicillin's anymore, the last thing he got had like sand? in it. It was awful!!!! I tried it since he lost him mind and OMG. I would rather drink literally ANYTHING else than to have to take that again.. And it traumatized him. He thinks all medicine is like this now and getting him to take Tylenol for his fever was, brutal to say the least.

Have you tried the chewables?

[yummeecookee]

My DC called and said I had to come get C bc he has a runny eye. I'm like 95% sure it's not pink eye, so I'm not worried. We have an appt later this afternoon to rule it out. I'm more annoyed about putting all the effort to go into work, not to mention a cold, rainy commute, and only being there 1.5hrs!

[yummeecookee]

Pic klongoria11!

Where in CR are you going snoopmommymom? Mh and I love the guanacaste province!

[tallblonde]

Morning. Gross gross day today. N and I are doing all the laundry todayand foraging for food since we need a grocery run, but not going in this weather. We had 2 birthday parties yesterday, so it was a long day and lots of bounce houses for j. I am a big fan of no gift bday parties, def going that route from now on.

Hope everyone starts feeling better, sorry for all the sick kids:(

Ugh the cold in the eye..I hate when they claim it's pink eye when it's not. We've gotten screwed by that too before even when the pedi said it wasn't pink eye but daycare made us stay home.

[LizInFL]

Poor sick kids and moms! All my sympathy to y'all.

DH and I are still under the weather, him moreso than me. I'm just so tired of feeling gross. Parenting when you're sick is tough and B seemed to be at an 11 yesterday, bn being cooped up from the bad weather and just acting kinda needy.

So currently I'm sitting at the dermatologist; C's with me and my mom has B. He had a speech check-in this am and I screwed up and double-booked us, so Nana to the rescue again. Seriously, she's going to have to move with us to VA, I don't know what I'll do without her. 😭

[LizInFL]

guster lol at your being a bad customer. B got a doctor's kit for Xmas and the other day I got reprimanded for 'doing it wrong' when I didn't use the scalpel. So we had to start all over. Typical surgeon...a God complex already

[cagoldi]

Hi ladies.

I'm taking X to the pedi today at 4:30. Starting to think we're dealing with a milk allergy. Which is weird to just appear out of nowhere, right?

Dude's allergies were apparent very early on...

[cagoldi]

Speaking of Dude, I think he's possessed. It's like he went to bed fine one night and Satan himself woke up the following morning.

[cagoldi]

Sorry about the EI, snoopmommymom. Is she going to need to see an ENT?

[lahdeedah88]

Sending healing vibes to everyone. This sucks.

I hope you get some answers at the appointment cagoldi.

Any update on the preschool situation wedding? I hope today's drop off was ok.

[lahdeedah88]

Hi. I'm feeling slightly better than I did this weekend, but nowhere near feeling normal. I have already made a grocery run and now need to make a few phone calls to make appointments and other things. I have work later, but that's it for today.

[trtlcrzy]

Safe travels today kamakaziartist

Thank you! I am waiting for my first flight out now.

Anyone know anything about filing for child support in texas? I have a young lady with a one year old who is wanting to start the process. I have called and gotten the link for the online application through the Attorney General, but if anyone has any tips to make it easier or more streamlined, I would so appreciate it.

[73jewels]

Hi! Checking in while pumping at work. I forgot what a PIA pumping at work can be. But it's good for free time to check in here!

I hope everyone's sick kids are doing better... and tgrimes1980, I hope the Zoloft is easing your anxiety and you're feeling better too.

I took S for his first ever dentist appt today (I know, I am late) and he was so amazing. He sat in the chair by himself, opened wide, listened to everything, etc. He even needed xrays and he did exactly what they said with me just standing in the door way. I was so proud

[klongoria11]

wedding, I'm reading the 50 shades trilogy. I'm going with a friend to a private screening of the 2nd movie in Feb. and since I had never read the books I figured now would be a good a time as any. They are fairly quick reads, not sure what I'll read next. The next 2 Parenting book club books have a long wait list on paperback swap, so I may go with something I already have.

[73jewels]

wedding, I thought of you this morning during drop off. Since we had the dentist, I brought him in later than usual and he was especially clingy. His teacher started engaging him in conversation about the dentist visit and the "prizes" he got, and gently took him from me. He went happily. Had she just ripped him from me, I can't imagine the shit show that would have happened.

Sorry you are dealing with that at drop off, it must make the day so much more stressful for you

[cagoldi]

Hope you are feeling better tomorrow, Sunny41.

[yummeecookee]

MOTY right here- C does have pink eye.

[mamabear13]

Hi all!

Been MIA for a week because, like everyone else, everyone in the house was sick. And I was just too exhausted to type responses to you guys saying hey, me too! Catching up, hope most of you are feeling better!

[lahdeedah88]

wedding I don't blame you for looking at other options. We're doing the same thing with M. We had some open houses we went to this past week, and seeing a couple more this week. The drop off situation isn't improving and I really do think it's because of lack of teacher interaction. I want him to have teachers that smile when he comes in and are happy to see him. I hate to move him because he loves his friends, but I want him to be in a positive environment where he feels comfortable when we drop him off.

Good luck with the search.
