Anyone a believer in the magic of amber teething necklaces? I'm about ready to be convinced to try anything.
I used one and I don't know if it was my kid or the amber but we never had any issues with teething. I do remember seeing a reduction in dribbling after putting it on.
And really what harm can it do to try? make sure you get real amber and not a fake knock off. Make sure it's the correct fit around his neck with a breakaway clasp and take it off for nap and bedtime. At bedtime i used to wrap it around his ankle.
Thanks! The place we're going for art class today sells them. If they have any in stock I'll probably snag one. This baby is teething constantly and his sleep and nursing and I all suffer. He cut teeth 3 and 4 over the last 2 weeks and today it seems #5 is bothering him.
My brother was all antsy to get together with my mom and I yesterday, thought they were announcing a pregnancy. Nope told us him and his wife are moving to Florida in two weeks. Quitting their jobs here and have no jobs lined up or anywhere to stay. And lucky me I get to pick up the emotional mess of my single mother who is distraught over it. Big middle finger to my bro

I'm sorry you have to pick up the pieces. So much irresponsible going on there with them.

What so they aren't actually moving to anywhere?
Apparently he's had a phone interview with two places. One in Tampa and one in west palm beach so they have no rental contract signed since they don't know where or IF he'll get one of the jobs so if he gets neither then they just go and pick somewhere. But even that will be a challenge because they have two cats and two dogs, one of which is a Great Dane. So good luck finding an apartment that will take that. He just jumps into things so quick and always manages to be fine. It's so frustrating. I get tired of it because I'm always the one to stay and take care of my mom and hold the pieces together. I've had to do it since I was five when my dad bailed and my mom needed help with my brother. He's so selfish. My mom thinks I'm sad he's leaving but I'm legitimately mad at him. I'm so tired of taking care of everyone else. And I get that my mom is an adult but she suffers from depression and needs a lot of emotional support and has no significant other or anything, my brother and I were all she had and now it's all on me. Ugh sorry I'm so overwhelmed at the moment.
emmygirl, I see we have the same brother. He has done that same exact thing multiple times. My Mom always ends up a mess. It's happened so many times, that I don't care anymore. I'm trying to get my Mom to understand why I've given up on him.
seems to be just fine based on the FB update. Her first was 9.5lbs so she produces big babies.
This is one of my fears about having another. DS was basically 9lbs. I am scared of having a bigger baby.
I could be the exception to the rule but my 2nd was 9lbs 9oz and then my third was 7lbs 13oz. 2nd kid was born at 39 weeks and 3rd kid at 38+6 so not really a timing difference either.

I'm sorry you're experienced in this area too. It's hard to be the one to keep it together. I think people forget how heavy that emotional baggage is when they put it on others.
When MH and I moved to Canada, I had no job and we had no place to live. Some people are breezy about these things
I was going to say this. I actually envy people who are so relaxed about things. I am an over stressor. I know this. I'm type A. I have friends who have literally done exactly as mentioned above, they fell back on their feet and hit the ground running. Who am I to judge them for this? It didn't cost me anything. Could I do it? No way. I'd die of anxiety.

My parents moved from Ohio to Florida with no jobs lined up and 4 kids along for the ride. However they did have housing lined up.
Mondays... I was super busy doing house work and having J attached at the hip. I did multiple loads of laundry and found that hidden in my newly washed sheets were my earbuds and mp3 player. Fuck! At least they didn't melt in the dryer?

It is very different when you don't have kids to worry about. MH had a job to go to and we had a decent amount of savings since we'd been planning the move for years. I got a job within 3 weeks and stayed at the company for nearly 6 years so it worked out well. Finding an apartment was actually the hardest part, we ended up at a B&B for a month.
Yeah I have no doubt they'll be fine. He's always been able to jump off a cliff and have a parachute open before hitting the ground. The part that I'm selfish mad about is that he's leaving me to take care of everything back home and putting my moms emotional well being on me. I don't know how to explain it. I'm just frustrated.

I'm very type B
We did something similar, except we had almost zero money and my H's new employer helped him find an apartment pretty quickly (and there were plenty of options). I quit my job to follow him with no real plan, but education is a little different because lots of hiring happens over the summer, so I moved in June and hoped to find something by August. It didn't really work out that way, but we managed. I like to plan most things, but sometimes I'm very #breezy. I think I remember reading about type C somewhere and that was me, but I don't really remember.
After week one of Whole30 I'm down 5lbs and a few inches over all.
way to go!
I just started W30 today and am hoping for some good results
Not doing whole 30 but am tracking my food and trying to get back into healthy behaviors. Any interest in re starting the healthy living thread for accountability?
