@scoop, which shades? O wakes up earlier and earlier with the sun. I've been looking but want to know which ones really work.
It's crazy to me that babies are having birthdays because O's is near the end of June. We aren't having his party until July 3. I feel like I have tons of time before that.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! Putting a trip to Lowe's for blackout curtains on the list of things to do...DD wakes up at the literal crack of dawn every day.
pghtruelove I seriously lol'ed. At least she was having fun?
I ended up letting her play with her oatmeal too since she was going to get a bath anyway, then she did this She was extremely pleased with herself and she loves bath time so it really was a win. Here was the end result plus a bonus baby butt.
Sick baby here tonight too. She woke up and vomited, which has never happened before so now I'm all worried and won't sleep much tonight. Any tips for puking babies? It's so sad. She was dry heaving and all and I'm not sure what to do as this has never hAppened with either of my girls.
I hope your night wasn't too awful. You're nursing right? Just keep offering breast. The big thing is keeping her hydrated, and breastmilk will do that without upsetting her stomach.

Thanks billyhorrible, that's what we did. It was a long night, and many changes of crib sheets. Poor baby. It was so sad to see her like that. She seems much better this morning, fortunately!
This is why L never has access to her own bowl or plate. We will load the spoon and hand it over, thank you. Presumably at some point she will stop wanting to wear it all, but until then...
I'm feeling rough today. It's inevitable that there will be days like this so I just need to get through it.

Glad she's feeling better. Poor baby, and poor you too. Hope you can take it easy today.

Glad she's doing better, poor baby and you. Stomach bugs are the worst, and would be extra sucky with your H gone!

Getting caught up. DH asked how everyone was doing and I was like, "If I had a spare moment, I could tell you!"
Yesterday was pretty wonderful. DH made breakfast, I took DD to ballet, got a chance to practice afterwards, went to the farm and did some chores for 30 minutes, and then home. We all drove to a nearby town for a farm tour and took tomato plants to donate. It's going to be a learning opportunity for veterans wanting to learn farming as a trade/job skill. There were other kids there, and they planted tomatoes right away. One of the coordinators asked DS1 (almost 5) if he wanted to plant tomatoes with the other kids: "No thanks, but I could teach them how." I wasn't sure if I should giggle or cringe.
Today is church, and cleaning for next weekend. how are my children getting so big??
We officially survived 13 hours in the car with DS and made it to South Carolina yesterday, and our house is successfully on the market. Our first real day of vacation is off to a good start - are a yummy breakfast, bought groceries for the time share, went for a dip in the pool, and now waiting for DS to wake so we can go to lunch
@scoop, I'm thinking of getting some black out shades for O's room. She's been waking earlier now and I think it's because her room is so bright. I'm glad they worked for you guys!
jillywilly yay for vacation! And I'm glad the car ride was a success! Enjoy yourself
I'm waiting on O to wake from her nap so we can go run some errands. H is going to stay home and mow, then power wash the outside of the house. I've got a ton of things I need to finish for O's party, and I feel like I'm not going to have the time to finish it all. How is it coming up so fast??? I swear just yesterday it was 2 months away!

Killing it over here with husband gone for the weekend. I got all LO's meal prep done for the week and did 3 loads of laundry. I am only holding out on the last load because we are going to go to a consignment sale after LO gets up from her nap and I want to wash anything I buy.
This solo parenting the whole weekend has been sooo much better than the last time I did it last September when baby only napped while in the ergo and being bounced on a yoga ball and she only slept at night with a boob in her mouth.

We're doing a craft day today at home so I can get things done for the party. LBB wants to help, so it's slow going. So far we have painted horses gold. I need to grab the month pictures from CVS to do the photo banner, so up next is either the crowns or the stick horses. LBB really wants to do the stick horses.

Random ?: Has anyone's LO developed a rash when taking amoxicillin? DD started it on Tuesday for her double ear infection. Last night, I thought she looked blotchy before bed, but she had been screaming, so I chalked it up to that. Today, it looks more and more like a true rash. I'm planning to call the on-call line once I'm out of nap jail, but just wondered if anyone had experience with this.

Yes. LBB had a reaction to Amoxicillan. And KKLL's Amelia also had a really bad reaction. Call the on call, discontinue the meds. We didn't need Benadryl, KKLL did, and steroids. It gets worse before it gets better.

Thanks billyhorrible and Kristykristyleelee. The on-call said it sounded like a "non-allergic rash" and to continue her meds. I'm a little skeptical, so if it worsens I'm going to stop her meds and get her in tomorrow.
Did 1 year and smash cake photos this afternoon. My kid doesn't like cake! He barely got messy. Half of what was on him was because mom did it for him. Maybe I'll have better luck with a cupcake at his party.

That's funny. Did he just wake up from a nap? DD is really out of it and will just sit there when she just wakes up

Add me to the list. DS had a horrible reaction to amoxicillin when he was 11 months. It started mild then within 24 hours progressed to 90%of his body in a full blown rash. Keep an eye on it and don't be afraid to take her to urgent care or the doctor.
