Good morning Monday!

[kensie5226]

bluebird44, you can still use sleep sacks. We've been using hers for a long time. She can crawl and stand in it.

I've been MIA travelling for a wedding. It was a nice wedding, but I got a little too drunk and made the evening a little difficult for MH. Oops.

New development: my kid slapped me. I took a fork from her and said "no no no." She stopped, looked directly in my eyes, and slapped my face. I couldn't believe it! I thought we had a little time before we had actual toddler behavior. My cousin saw it happen and can totally back me up. LO knew exactly what she was doing. WOW.

Baby is home sick. Fever but I'm not sure why so H is taking her to the doctor.

12 hour shift today at work. I'm already exhausted. This weekend was my Hs 30th birthday so there was too much going on and too much to drink.

[sunfrogger88]

Thank you bluebird44 !!! Sleep sacks should still be okay I think!

kensie5226 wow!! What a feisty little girl!!

AFM: killed my interview today!! I'm so freaking excited. I won't hear for a couple weeks but... damn.

[kensie5226]

sunfrogger88, yay. I'll keep everything crossed for you.

[yummeecookee]

As others said, the sleep sack is still fine bluebird44.
I hope your LO feels better soon proceedwithcaution.

I'm not having a great Monday, the very short recap is that I'm operating on very little sleep due to C's early morning party, was running late for work and then spilled my entire grande mocha on the floor in my car upon arrival to work.
So I'm not even caffeinated! I had a beach towel in the back seat of my car. I just threw the towel over the spilled mocha and left it, cup and all.

I'm exhausted. Mt grandma finally passed after 4 days in the hospice. It was very hard having DD with me after all so I flew back with her and will take my first trip away from her tomorrow to return for the funeral. I'm just so sad.

[ldubhawksfan]

Can anyone speak to me about flying with BM. I read if it's frozen tsa won't test it, but if it's liquid they will. I usually leave the milk for my niece, but it's always just extra, not 2 full days of milk, like 60 oz. I'm going to try to bring it back with me. Tips??

kensie5226 or was it you? I can't remember!

[sunfrogger88]

ldubhawksfan I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Hugs.

[sunfrogger88]

yummeecookee I hope your day gets better!!!

Thanks kensie5226 !

[yummeecookee]

Sorry to hear about your grandmother ldubhawksfan.

[kensie5226]

ldubhawksfan, I've flown with it a few times. The did test it this last trip b/c it was in her bottle. It didn't take long. The time I brought it frozen (thawing) they didn't test it though. I also had a cooler full without LO, but then I didn't even mess with TSA, I just counter checked my whole bag so I wouldn't have to worry about how they'd treat it.

[kensie5226]

ldubhawksfan, I'm sorry for your loss.

[colinsfebmommy]

ldubhawksfan, sorry for the loss *hugs*

bluebird44, sleep sacks are the best, my older one used one until 2 1/2! Of course we moved to the one with feet. He felt so secure with it and loved it. I think it helped with him never wanting to get out of crib too as he got older.

Ugh Monday, it is hard coming back after being off for 4 days. Plus I burnt my tongue last night on chili and my tongue is throbbing right now.

[ashleymarie26]

ldubhawksfan I have flown with BM without LO. I told them before the bag went through that I had milk, after I went through the scanner they just took one bottle out of the cooler and put it in this little spinner thing. Took all of 30 seconds. I did not freeze it.

[ldubhawksfan]

Thank you ladies. ashleymarie26 and kensie5226 Did they open the milk to test it?

No. They placed the sealed bottle in this little machine. I believe (total speculation) that this machine measures density with light.


Eta: I do remember that they swabbed the outside of the bottles, the same way they swab your hands to look for residue. Then they put the little swab in a machine that I suppose is looking for certain chemicals

Ok, hopefully bags would be tested the same way. Thank you. Sorry for bugging you on vacation.

Yeah it wasn't a big deal at all. They didn't open it at all.

FU question. When pumping while traveling, did you clean out the pump parts or wipe the down? I usually have them in the fridge between sessions

I rinsed. I also make sure I had a hotel room with a fridge- not sure where you are staying?

[kensie5226]

ldubhawksfan, yeah I wiped them down with paci wipes and kept them in the cooler with all my stuff. I was on the go from 5am-8pm so I kept several of those break and go cold packs with me for the cooler until I got to the hotel and the fridge.

[littleowl913]

Sorry for your loss ldubhawksfan. Hugs

OMG flyliceandcoffee, that means E is turning one in less time and I haven't thought about it.
