Sorry its Monday

[jt2378]

Its a holiday here though, Patriots day (also known as Marathon Monday)! We are taking H to the Zoo and down the beach in RI for the day! Can't wait, hopefully MH has removed the stick from his ass from yesterday.

Have a good day ladies!!!

I am home with G today. I noticed that he had a fever last night at bed time. I gave him some Tylenol and it went down but we are afraid that he might have an ear infection again so I will try to get him checked out today. He was basically up from 2:30 until about 5:00 as well so I am pretty tired but it doesn't look like I will be able to get back to sleep. Boo.

jt2378 - it sounds like a fun day planned. Enjoy!

[judyblume14]

jt2378, hope you guys have a super-fun family day!

Cycle 9. 11 DPO. BFN this morning. Grr. And my temp took a little dip (for those not familiar with temping, that's not necessarily a good thing...)

You guys. I'm starting to get really nostalgic and anxious about moving. I'm 99% excited to live in our dream home, and have a POOL, and more than one bathroom, and the space to host gatherings! I'm 1% CRAZY super sad about leaving the home we've created over the past 9 years. And our darling neighborhood.

Yesterday's visit to the garden with MIL was really nice. We packed a picnic and some wine, the weather was PERFECT, and L got to run all over the place. We took a drive through the neighborhood afterwards, which is what triggered the 1% mentioned above.

Hm, what else can I bore you with? Oh, had to cancel my massage that was scheduled for tomorrow. DH has jury duty, so I'll be doing day care driving.

I'm not feeling work right now. Monday, Lame.

jt2378 enjoy your day off!

@spacecadet hope G doesn't have an ear infection!

judyblume14 hugs, I hope it was just too soon for a BFP!

We had a good weekend. It went way too fast. We had a nice date night Saturday night. But we spent way too much money this weekend. Ugh.

We went on a joint double date to this charity event that the police officers and firefighters do in our area.

Look at you beating SIL to work

Holy fuck. There is 2017 BMBs!

Omg....how is that even possible?

I can't believe we are going to have 2 year olds soon!

[judyblume14]

N40Mom, I have this plan in my head of taking a few Family / L pics on the steps in front of our building.

(ETA- i just teared up. I cannot even.)

[judyblume14]

N40Mom,how many ear infections has J had

We're in the same geographic region... the weather this weekend was PERFECT, wasn't it?

[doglover31]

judyblume14, that picture idea sounds great. You should totally do it.

N40Mom, poor J. That is a lot of ear infections. I would be conflicted too, but in the long run it would probably be better for her to get them right? What does her pedi say?

doglover31, her doctor sent us to the ENT last month. The ENT said she definitely met the criteria and he'd be willing to do them if we wanted. We decided to wait it out and hope with the warmer weather that she wouldn't get any more, but here we are.

That's tough. I hope you and your H can agree on a decision.

I wouldn't want to do tubes either but the people I know whose kids have gotten have said that they made a world of difference. I hope j feels better.

We just got back from the doctor. It looks like he has what I would call the start of an ear infection and the doctor thinks he has something viral as well due to the fever last night. G seemed fine this morning when he woke up but doesn't seem to be feeling as well now. I am trying to get him to take a nap but he's just kind of laying in his crib. I gave him some Tylenol so I'm hoping it will kick in soon so he can sleep some. Also we got an antibiotic and I can't seem to get the top of it off. Like its a push and turn but when I push it just clicks. So we might have to wait until H gets home to see if he can open it. I feel like a dummy there.

[doglover31]

spacedcadet child proof bottles are no joke. Don't feel like a dummy

[spacedcadet]

N40Mom - we have an ear thermometer and I was between 101 and 102 last night. He didn't have a fever this morning though. He finally went to sleep after crying a little bit. I almost went in so I could hold him until he fell asleep. Thankfully I didn't have to.

[spacedcadet]

I am thinking that the bottle cap must be broken. That is what I am telling myself anyway. I tried pulling it off but I don't want to spill the medicine all over myself.

[judyblume14]

anniebn, $490 for the ticket??? Or for the ticket AND urgent care?

Alos, you have to go to traffic school for your first ticket? That's absurd!

melw629, @adulruna and anyone else who has recently moved. How did the S14 babies adjust?

C did pretty well. We lived with my parents the last week before we made the move, and I left him with my mom all day every day that week while I was taking care of house stuff (we also moved my MIL the same week). I think he kind of felt abandoned that week, and we had a couple huuuuge meltdowns when he woke up from nap or MOTN disoriented.
First week in the new house he was kind of clingy and melt-down-y, but part of that may have been carryover from the previous week's upset in his routine.
Thankfully he napped consistently (even if only a short nap) and STTN as usual the whole time.

Hi all, thanks for the family fun day love, we didn't get to the zoo, it was unreal with traffic going into all entrances, not a smart idea the first day of school vaca, whoooops...

sorry for the sick kiddos spacedcadet and N40Mom, hope they are better soon!

judyblume14, *hugs* I think I would be sad to move even though I would love more space, I get feeling nostalgic, the pic sounds like an adorable idea!


Paging @giamia923, @adulruna and spacedcadet, I think you all have experience with HFM, the girl we had a playdate with yesterday got sent home this morning from daycare with it, UGH! She was completely fine yesterday and had no visible sores or fever. Her pedi said it isn't contagious without fever, anyone know for sure? So far H seems fine but of course I'm completely paranoid...

I think it can spread air borne like if they are coughing? I thought I read that somewhere... FX that she doesn't get it!!!! HFM is the worst! our fingers are still peeling from the blisters

UGH I hope not!

[jt2378]

Damn it I just read more about it, it definitely can be airborne, I feel doomed! At least we were outdoors, I really really hope she is spared

We attempted the zoo during spring break. That was a bad idea. We drive through, noticed all of the crowds and traffic and turned right around. Lol. We may just need to take a random day off to be crazy crowds.


As for the hfm, I don't recall a fever but g started with the blisters on a sat morning so it would be assumed that he had a fever a day or two before if he had one. Anyway, no one else from daycare ended up getting sick at all so it is possible for h not to get it. Everyone told us how contagious it was but none of the other kids got sick. I was kind of shocked frankly. So anyway. Good luck.

[jt2378]

Thanks for the quick responses ladies, well I'm just hopeful since she was completely fine yesterday (nothing visible) maybe we will be spared. They were outdoors the entire time and didn't have all that much close contact so feeling that might be a good thing

jt2378 . It's super contagious at all stages. The incubation period is up to a week (our guy got a fever on the seventh day). Most daycares will take them back after the fever is gone, but that's because they assume the other kids have already been exposed. Ped told me he was contagious until the blisters were gone. And adults can get it too, although more rarely.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Fingers crossed for you!

Thanks for the info, uggghhhh
