I have an appointment to take Abigail in. She's been spitting up and gagging a lot when she eats and then spat up some blood. Hopefully it just something small.
requiressnacks, Daycare is the one thing that I've stressed over for months. I couldn't find one, then the cost, and now actually going through with taking her. I know it'll be ok, but the guilt has already started and the tears are going to fall. My friends keep saying it will be good for her and me. I think they are right, but it's gonna be hard.
Those cribs....,interesting. I hear your concerns.
Luckily we are all going through it. But it will be so, so hard. The longest I've been away from these babies is like 3 hours. I can't imagine 10 hours. But we will survive! Right?!

Yikes! FX that you get some answers and help her feel better soon!
catherineoctober those cribs are, uh, interesting. Your lucky you have daycare - I STILL haven't gotten into a center or found anyone to either come to my home or the take the twinkies to theirs.
requiressnacks sorry about the feeding issue - hope the pedi cab give you something else to try.

Thanks! What are you going to do?? SAHM?
I wish! DH has 2-3 weekdays off each week and works every other weekend so he'll ask to work every weekend until layoff in exchange for more weekdays off. It's a seasonal job and only goes for another 2-2.5 months. Usually he'd take a cokmstruction job for the summer months but he's goimg to stay home with the boys. My mom will take them if we need to but she'd want them the night before since she lives 40 minutes away, which is fine other than I'm not sure I'm ready for sleepovers yet! I'm not sure if this will all come together but I guess I'll find out soon enough! I'm still on many center wait lists and am looking for a possible nanny.
Just got back from pedi. Poor girl is all backed up with gas. He did an xray and her whole intestines are just bubble after bubble. He thinks the blood was a one time thing from irritation. We're supposed to do mylecon at each feeding to prevent new bubbles and the rest should pass soon. He said this explains the cluster feeds, she's hungry but her tummy is feeling full ish so she's confused. He said her feedings should space back out.

achromia you're a great mom! you couldn't have known...this feeding stuff is hard. I wish LC reviewed this tongue and lip tie with new moms. It seems like this happens to quite a few babies. Are you getting it snipped or something? FX your supply is on the upswing.
@cahistoryteacher wow, your doc works fast. GL getting those bubbles out asap.
littlelion I know a lot of people hate Kaiser, but I love it precisely for stuff like this. Called advice nurse at 11:30, was in seeing a pediatrician(not my regular one) by 1:30, walked over to xray and was back in his office by 2:30. Home by 3. Total cost of visit:$20. I grew up in Kaiser, I would be so lost if I ever had to deal with health stuff outside of it.

Thanks. Sometimes just hearing someone say that makes everything seem a little better.
We are looking into getting the tongue tie snipped - DD still seems to be struggling to get enough milk just from nursing, and I hate seeing her get so frustrated. Not to mention that it takes forever to nurse her because she's having to work so hard at it, and then we wind up having to supplement her with a bottle afterward anyway. Feeds can take an hour and a half or more! By the time we're done it's almost time to start again.
Hugs to the other daycare moms. I felt good about the place we chose but then my mom wanted to visit (she was a daycare director for 20 years) and she's made me doubt my decision. She said no one is good enough, which I agree with, but nannies are too expensive and I don't want to stay home. So much guilt. Trying not to think about it right now.

I'm definitely feeling this too. My mom and MIL keep making comments about how awful it was to take their own kids to day care and how can you trust someone to care for your baby that you wouldn't even trust with your purse. I try to explain all the well thought out reasons why we've decided to do daycare but somehow what my MIL interprets is that I don't want to take care of my own baby all day. It's frustrating not to feel supported.

One thing I need to do is reread Lean In. It has all kinds of great statistics about working moms and their kids. Even if my mom doesn't listen to them, it makes me feel better. But I agree, it would be nice to just have my choices respected.
I think part of the reason she's saying this is because she watches my niece during the day. I'd love for her to watch my baby for free (my SIL is a SAHM but my mom has my niece MWF), but she lives 200 miles away, so that's not an option.
