Dd did better overnight but this morning seems worse. She won't nurse. Last time she ate was almost 10 hours ago. Now she's asleep again on me. this sucks.
DH, DS, and I went on vacation Friday-Monday to a friend's beach house in NJ.
DS was super cute and loved splashing in the ocean. It was good to see our friends, although they are both training for a marathon and into eating super healthy, so I felt like a fat ass. DS was pretty good on the airplane, but wanted to be held by me 90% of the time, which was exhausting.
DH and I both got food poisoning, which sucked. We can't figure out what we are different than our hosts, but 3 hours after dinner we both got sick at the same time and they didn't. I'm back at work but need a vacation from my vacation.
Yay vacation! Boo food poisoning! And double boo healthy active people making you feel like a fat ass. I hate when my friends do that. Why can't everyone just eat cake and pizza around us to make us feel better?
I am trying to be a productive employee, and doing better than I expected today. I have to travel to one of our other offices today for a slight chance that I have a meeting in an hour, because people can't seem to reply to a meeting request. I also can't blow it off because our president may be there. Lame.
What the hell people! On the other hand, at lead you get peace and quiet and don't have to work in the car for an hour.

I hope she eats for you soon! Poor babe
Thanks me too. She had a good wet diaper when she woke up this morning, but I'm going to be watching her close.
jellykat2 have you tried dream feeding? I just googled how to do it when I was experimenting with trying to get DS to sleep longer back around 4-5 months. It worked well (in that he nursed, but he still woke at the same time so I gave up after a week). It might give you peace of mind.

Thanks! I actually just did this and she ate alright. I feel a little better now.
Hey lads. Feeling like a Debbie downer here. DD was a stinking nightmare last night. After 2 hours of screaming and freaking out we finally gave her Motrin and about 40 minutes later she finally chilled out and went to sleep. She woke up at 330am though and I fed her (not her norm at all... teeth?... leap...?)
Of course, I could not fall back asleep because I was thinking about my crappy day at work and everything I had to get done today and also noted a headache, bellyache, and nausea. Got up and I feel like total crap but here I am at work because I NEEDED to be here to take care of somethings. I have a low grade fever, chills, body aches, nausea, etc...
I'm supposed to go to the dentist about a possible cavity today but I'm not so sure about it now.
sabby2 sorry you are getting put through the wringer, girl! It sounds like you need to go home. You don't want to get anyone else sick! I will say that I often feel that way when I haven't gotten enough sleep now that I'm no longer 23. Could just be that, fx. It's freaking July so it better not be flu!

Ohh no I would skip that dentist appointment and go home and rest!! Hope you feel better!

I was supposed to have a coffee date and a lunch date and both rescheduled, so I'm actually free to enjoy my morning! With the house hunting and work, I was feeling a little crazed, so I'm actually glad to have the time to myself. We saw another house yesterday that was cute, and I feel pressured to put an offer in if a house meets our needs, but DH talked me down. It was right next to train tracks, an older house, has huge trees which are nice until you have to cut one down; it just isn't the right house for us. I'm trying not to get a scarcity complex about how few houses are on the market here and just focus on weeding out the ones that aren't right for us.
Good luck with the house search. We bought our current house while still living in DC. I would look online then send my dad to look at the house and take pictures. We ended up buying our house with never actually seeing it ourselves!
I hope all these sick babies get better soon and stop scaring their mommas.
Vacation is going well..She's not a fan of sand or the ocean. But loves the baby pool we have down on the beach. We lost our tent today in a storm..sucks. And bedtime isn't going well. She fights going to bed bc she knows other people are awake. She lays her head on your shoulder then pops up to beauty queen waves into the darkness (I couldn't stop laughing as she was doing it). Last night she just slept in our bed and didn't get up until 7:40 am..so I'll take that.
jeniece47- stopping by real quick to see how your mom is doing. Hope she is improving every day!
She is doing quite a bit better. Doctors said she could be released as early as Friday but still needs 24/7 care. She doesn't have that at home and her insurance won't cover an in home nurse so they want her to go to an assisted living facility to finish recovering. She doesn't want to go though so we are trying to convince her she needs to.
