I hope you get your resolution, budders! I've been in situations where things dragged on over a weekend and it can really just suck the life out of you.
It was super hard to switch from vacation mode to work mode today but then I realized I only have 7 more days (including today) or pumping and i perked up! yessss.
budders, that sucks. Worst way to start a weekend. I hope it gets resolved.
We're home! LO was a total trooper during the whole trip but by the end I felt like we were on a goodwill tour of Ontario where he was just charming his adoring public. Sooo many people grabbing at or commenting on my kid. Needless to say we were all thrilled to be home and in our own beds last night. Now I have to deal with this new wardrobe...

I hope that you're able to come to a resolution today. Hopefully the parent has also had a chance to calm down a bit and realize that you and your staff do everything possible to keep your kids safe, but sometimes crisis' happen, and you still reacted appropriately and notified them. Ugh, I'm sorry you have to deal with that but I hope you won't be so hard on yourself. It's happened to all of us, especially when you're working with children with special needs that include difficult behaviors. Hugs budders.
I think M has his first cough. Gave him Advil because he seemed to be in discomfort- I know there isn't much else I can give him, is there? And this Sunday is my best friends wedding shower, and we're supposed to bring him since we won't have a sitter. Plus, I'm throwing it so it's not an option not to be there. Hope he gets better by then.

Sorry for all the rough starts today. But, it's a 3 day weekend, yay! Once H finishes his shift, he's off until Tuesday night. And I just realized tomorrow is our 5th wedding anniversary. I guess since we went away for it already, I wasn't even thinking about it. Better pick up a card today!

Oh yes, and also, one of my best friends is having her rainbow today (scheduled c-section due to being breech) and I am SOOO EXCITED. I am so ready to have another baby (and so not ready at times, too).
budders I hope everything works out ok so you can stop stressing and enjoy your weekend.
carrots enjoy the beach! We only have 6 weeks or so and I will finally get some beach time!
holliberry28 Our pedi gave us the ok to give O Dimetapp Cold and Allergy, but I know that every pedi is different with what they suggest. I hope he feels better for the shower! And @scoop I hope DD feels ok for her pictures!
I'm still just relaxing with O right now. I need to get up and make her some scrambled eggs and then start baking. We have her smash cake photo session tomorrow afternoon and I'm going to make her cake. I took a cake decorating class years ago at Hobby Lobby and do them for family and friends, but I haven't done any since having O, so I'm feeling a little rusty! Wish me luck!
Today I plan buying Rider game tickets for August for us and my whole family. I'm so excited, it will be the first game we take our kids too! The city is a couple hours away so while we used to go often, post-kids we just haven't made it work for them yet especially being I always give birth right at the beginning of the season lol. We will go camping around there the same weekend and be able to hang out and go to the game with my siblings and my parents want to come down for the day too. Which also gets me excited because we haven't all gotten together to a game in a few years either.
I have a swimming pool board meeting tonight, and just normal Friday stuff! Looks like it's going to be nice out!
Oh and hope all the Americans have a good long weekend!
Also a couple people added me to Instagram yesterday which brought up a few more names..just didn't want to be creepy if you get a request from me lol.
Rough night last night. DH picked up E from the sitter because he had a fever of 102.3. He slept basically all day. Still had a fever of 102 when we put him down for the night but DH heard him having a seizure around 10 last night. On call ped said there really isn't much they could do, which we knew after this happening a little over a month ago. His fever seemed to spike with the seizure and he seems to be doing better since then. FX for no more seizures today.
Today is kindergarten orientation which means there are no kindergartners at schools which means I drove 45 minutes to teach for 30 minutes then to drive home for hopefully 45 minutes. But I got a lot of work done with the extra planning time and feel mostly caught up.
I'm going to the MVA to switch the title of my new-to-me car into my name from MIL. And I'm taking O with me. Please pray for a quick wait for us. DNW to be stuck waiting forever with a baby who is ready for his nap.
Then it's a 3 day weekend with H & O! H and I are going on an all day date on Sunday to celebrate our anniversary. We're going to a draft house movie theater where they serve real food and beer while you watch the movie. And we're seeing TWO movies in one day. We've never done that before not even when we were young and went to movies all the time. The place we're going to has assigned seating if you pre-purchase so we even already know our seats will be great. I'm excited to spend an entire day with him.
Going out later today to print pictures, get balloons, and other misc supplies. I want DH to be there when E has cake for the first time, so we might do a mini smash cake or cupcake for dessert one night this weekend, and then I'll do a real smash cake for pictures at my sister's next week. Really, I am just looking forward to cake! DH hasn't decided yet if we are spending the weekend at home or with the IL's, so I need to be prepared for both of those options as well.
Does anyone else's baby do this thing when they are pulling up on things where they bob their head up and down or bounce so they are constantly one step away from nailing their chin on what they are pulling up on?
H works every single day this weekend so I'm pretty bummed about that. I'm trying to think of things to do so I don't get too bored. So far I have make granola bars. That's not a very long list.
And guess what we are doing for dinner tonight? Grilling. H is going to make chicken and I think I'm going to go the unhealthy route and try something new. Pizza bagels on the grill. Is this a good idea, yay or nay?
Thanks everyone. We were able to get an appointment for this afternoon to rule out ear infection or any thing else. This seems to be our new norm when he has a fever over 102. I don't think it will ever get easier, but at least we now know what it takes to keep his fever controlled. It's days like this that I wish I could drink!
On a happier note, I have my OB appointment in a few hours and get to hear LO's heartbeat! I don't think that will ever get old
Congrats billyhorrible and good luck with the new job !
tjanca22, so scary! His exams were cleared right? Is the ped saying this is a common thing to have seizure with fevers? FX your day is eventful and he is better.
Yes, his MRI and EEG were both normal. Since he only seizes with a high temp they fall into the febrile seizure category which are fairly common in kids 6mo-5yrs. They wouldn't even think about a seizure disorder diagnosis until after he turned 5/6 years old. Apparently he just has to outgrown them and as parents we can only help by controlling his temps with round the clock Tylenol/ibuprofen. I think he has another ear infection, which darn kid never gives any signs alerting us to this. His only signs seem to be spiking a fever and having a seizure. Thanks kid, make mom have a heart attack every time you get an ear infection! Can't this kid just pull on his ears or something?

Is there a size difference between 24m and 2T clothing? Like big enough that I really need to buy both sizes? I have no idea if we have a SQ thread, so it's going here today.
