Randoms 9/6

[halfahippy]

Probably should wait for Friday confessions, but I just got home and essentially chugged a glass of wine before my alcoholic MIL comes over for the evening. No drinking in front of her to try to help her not drink.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi! Turns out adjusting and figuring life out with being back to work is trickier than anticipated (which has me anxious about what it's going to be like when my 2 grad classes start next week). I'm going to try to be around as much as I can, but not sure what that's going to look like. Here's hoping we can get on a more regular schedule and get this straightened out soon/quickly.

New Pedi is awesome. Gave us a script for a PPI (prilosec) that we started tonight. Should hopefully see positive results in about a week. I asked her to look at the way ethan holds his arms when he sits... and she said his neck muscles are REALLY tight... So, now we have to go to PT. Ugh. I'm having a little pity party tonight... I feel like I missed out on E as a newborn... and now he still has so many issues as an infant. As of now, he should outgrow all of them by 2 years old, and I should consider ourselves so lucky, but its still so hard. Ok. Pity party done. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

Max did that ugly cry where he turned red and didn't make a sound and then a few seconds later let's out the loudest scream. I hate that cry. It scares the shit out of me. This is the first time he's done that. I think I see a tooth coming:(

Yay I'm glad you'll see some relief soon.

xxkimmy8xx I think I'm going to talk to our pedi about switching K to prilosec also. I just don't see zantac doing enough. My boys were on pepcid I believe, or possibly another P one? I take prilosec myself. By 6 months my boys were clearly struggling much less with reflux, but K's is holding strong.

Prevacid! Yes, that's the P one I was looking for haha.

This week is really low key at work, but I'm drowning in paperwork. Data entry doesn't exactly make me feel like a good nurse.

The nurse I'm working with went above and beyond to help me find a room to pump in. I'm still contacting the union. My supervisor didn't respond to me at all.

It's a hot MFer outside. I just got back in from checking baby calves. Everybody was in the shade thankfully. I think the heat is supposed to break after tomorrow. FX. This is hard on the little ones.they can die from heat stroke so easily.

Stupid hot here too. Dd1 had her first day of kindergarten yesterday. . It was 42 degrees celcius.. about 108 farenheit.

[rachelilly23]

Hot here also. 100 degrees. It's supposed to stay in the 80s for awhile starting Monday. I'm really looking forward to that.

I guess I better get used to warm, even though I've lived in Georgia for 4 years. We're moving to Hawaii in January!

Someone hold me...

You've earned the right to a little pity party. I feel the same way about the newborn stage and I didn't have it nearly as bad as you! It will only get better from this point on though and you'll have years, and years, and years to make up for the "lost" time.

Baby is asleep, husband is out with the guys, and I"m sitting on the couch drinking scotch watching NFL football. Not a bad Thursday night if I do say so myself.

Oh wow! Can I go visit?

W is still channeling Satan. I know we are dealing with a leap, but is screaming (I mean spitting fire mad) the new normal during this time? 2 weeks is a long time for it to be happening, right? In other words, tell me he is fine and channeling Satan is a normal thing and my sweet, angel will be back soon.

[cinnamonsmiles]

I am currently awaiting approval of my thesis stats and it is taking forever. Waiting on someone else's schedule is definitely frustrating.

Less than 200 posts to go till 3000.

My supervisor never responded to me about pumping. The union didn't have much to offer. I should not have to fight like this. I'm in a different school every week. Between the commute and this I'm feeling like coming back here was a mistake even though overall I like my job.

How old is he? Pretty sure we're in a leap. The one That's 23-26 weeks (5.5-6 months) It's not pleasant.

Poor little man. I didn't read the whole link. Is it surgical? Treated some how?

TheCoffeeNinja where you at girl?

Does anyone have a crawler yet? We a getting close, she goes on hands and knees and then uses that to launch herself forward. Hasn't quite figured out the moving the arms part.

We do and it is terrifying.  Hahahaha.  She's been army crawling for probably a good month but now she's for realsies crawling.  And getting into all sorts of trouble.

That is a lot of big words but at least you have a diagnosis!  What are the next steps?

No. I think she's trying though. She rolls all over and seems to be getting angry trying to figure out another method of moving.

nope. and I'm not encouraging it until we move. DNW to be chasing after a mobile infant when I'm trying to move all my shit. 

She's like half way there but then gets frustrated and just yells. She can stand on her own while holding on with one hand though. I think she may say f crawling and go straight to trying to walk.
