I have an internal interview today. Fingers crossed I get the job.
DS is at daycare today and downed his oatmeal that he'd been refusing since Thursday. I guess he really did know what he needed which was fruit and milk all week. So glad to be done with the mess a GI virus crates.
Bought some cute shoes for DS on amazon. I realized he only had 9-12 month shoes and 18-24 month in his moccasins. His other 12-18 shoes run really small and are more like 9-12 month shoes.
More laundry and packing today. We want to get an early start on the road tomorrow to avoid as much rush hour as possible so it all has to be done by tonight.
lilyelayne Celia always seems to feel warm so I take her temp. I just recently got a temporal thermometer that seems super accurate and she loves when I take her temperature with it. Rectal temps just weren't working for us anymore, she seemed way too uncomfortable.
Back in the office today. Still fighting this cold off, but hopefully this is the last one before we have a healthy summer. DD was up again last night, but this time I was prepared with the Motrin and I gave in and nursed her so we could all get back to sleep faster. I think its been at least a full month since our last MOTN nursing session, hopefully she doesn't try to make it habit again. Oh, and then the dog threw up around 4am so I had to get up and deal with that too, it like having a newborn with all these wake ups over here.

I have come to the realization I don't know how to use our temporal thermometer, or it is a piece of junk. The only time I really take her temp is in the morning if she feels warm and I need to make sure she wont get sent home from daycare. She'd have to be really warm or seemingly uncomfortable for me to pull the thermometer out otherwise.
My childhood BFF is in Texas this week. Her daughter needs a third eye surgery, and no one in Arkansas can do it. They go for their eval appointment this morning. Prayers appreciated. Her doctors in Arkansas now figure she won't have vision in that eye.
tortor4 we do under the arm temp. G is really good with it. We have a Braun ear thermometer because I know several people who like them, but ours is a dud.
dmorgendorffer all those wake ups on top of a cold? Take it easy if you can.
lilyelayne yeah we have an ear/forehead thermometer (not sure of the brand) but it's horrible. I never got even close to the same reading twice. The nurse at DD's pedi recommended the new one we got. I'm so impressed G is good at the underarm readings! Prayers for your friend and her baby too. I hope everything goes well and they can resolve whatever the problem is.
dmorgendorffer oh man what a rough night! Our one cat seems to puke anytime C has an off night. It's the icing on top of the cake. I hope you can sneak some rest in at some point today!
lilyelayne Yeah I am in Texas now so kind of MIA. I don't think I have been on since Monday and only for a few minutes. Currently on our 5 yr anniversary trip sans DD weee. I have been feeling great.... Until last night when I threw up twice MOTN and my stomach is still not right plus now I have a dehydration headache because I can't drink water. Ha so romantic.
We have three thermometers. A forehead one, a Braun ear and a under arm one. We usually take with whatever is handy and then double check if it seems off. Which usually they match up so I'm guessing they are alright. But really, we don't usually use the underarm one often because it's in the diaper bag. We also have a pacifier one, but without fail, V always takes it out of his mouth before it is done reading.
lilyelayne straight to the Tylenol for me. By now I can just tell if they are above their normal temp. And usually that'll bring the fever down. Ibuprofen is my last resort.
ETA: we do under arm temps when necessary. Never would I ever do a rectal (eew and ouch). We have a cheap digital therm. that came with our baby 1st aid kit. Brand is safety first, I think (don't quote me on that). It's always seemed accurate to me.

aggiebug enjoy the time with your H! Not being able to drink water was the worst part of 1st/2nd tri. Hope you find something else to keep you hydrated.

I think the interview went really well. Although I talked a mile a minute which is my normal speed. Forgot to slow down. Hopefully I got the job. It's really my last chance at moving internally to this other place.

Bad news from the eye doc for my BFFs daughter. They are headed home to Arkansas now. They have to decide whether or not to proceed with surgery next week or go another route, but it's all cosmetic at this point, no vision possible for that eye. I knew that would be the answer ahead of time, since ophthalmology was my field when I worked, but I am crushed nonetheless. They have bad options and a big decision ahead.

I'm sorry to hear that. Are they asking you for advice?
