I ended up staying home with N today. She's had a cough and congestion for a week, no fever but she didn't sleep good last night. I thought I'd call the doc and see what they say, basically I'm doing all I can do for her. The grandmas think she is suffering but I knew the doc wouldn't think we need to come in. I mean it's hard to listen to your kid coughing but what else can I do.
Anyway at least I get a semi relaxing day at home. Just hope I don't end up catching her cold. Hoping I can get a few things done during nap.

[mrscatfarmer13]

Suffering through until my dentist appt at 11:50. I'm super nauseous today which isn't helping anything.

Bub has had a cough/cold for a while now. He seems to just be getting over it. We put Vick's Vapo Rub on his feet at night, and it actually helped a lot. We had a well visit last week and got a couple helpful pieces of info. 1. She said Vicks is fine, and we can put it on his belly, just keep it a little farther down than where you would use it for an adult. 2. She said a cold shouldn't last more than a week. We had been dealing with it for longer than a week, so she said it's possible that he caught something else as soon as he got over the first one. But she told us if he wasn't better by Monday (this was on Wed) we should bring him back so they can check his ears again and listen to his chest again for signs of pneumonia. So don't feel bad about bringing her in if that's what you decide to do in the end!

Yesterday DS asked me if there was a baby under my shirt. LOL I'm not sure where he came up with that. We've talked to him about it, but I didn't think he really understood. So anyway I told him yes, and he could have a brother or a sister, and he said "No. You can have a sister. I have a brother!" So I guess that's decided.

We've been doing the Vicks on the feet too and zarbees cough medicine. She is usually coughing on/off at night a few hours then falls asleep. The nurse at pedi said we could do zyrtec/Claritin during the day and benedryl at night. She also said the cough could last 2-3 weeks. We actually just went to an ent appt so I know her ears are good. I was worried about it getting worse right before Xmas. Fx it doesn't.
Hope Bub is getting better too.

Yeah. I briefly considered being Team Green, because I don't really have a preference either way. But that idea lasted about a day before I was like no, I need to know.

It's worth the wait.

And ftr DS still says he has a Sister so it might not matter what it is.

Shopping this morning. Omg why is there so much yo do still

[sstwinklinglites]

Scrooge reporting. I haven't bought, nor do I intend to buy Christmas presents.

[lindsay]

mrscatfarmer13 GL! And GL to mr mominthemaking14

[mominthemaking14]

He's in recovery! @mrscatfarmer I hope you get some good advice today.

[lindsay]

sstwinklinglites hey that is one way to save money during the holidays. It gets to be so much money out the door on gifts. I appreciate my H's family, we draw one adult name and then just get the kids gifts. Maybe eventually we can draw names for kids too because there are a lot.

Everybody knows that we're buying a house and KU. Nobody needs anything, so not buying a thing. We have a Christmas Eve Dinner and a Christmas Day Dinner we're attending, and I plan on making baked goods and probably taking wine.

chrispy1122 be there at 12:40

[dogmama22]

Running errands and sewing today. No work this week so that will probably be my week.
I hope the dentist gets things fixed up today mrscatfarmer13

[babylove518]

Glad the surgery went well mominthemaking14!

DH said he thinks DD has croup he is taking her to the dr when he gets off work. MIL (who is watching her today) made me feel guilty that I am OOT while DD is sick, cause ya know, I can totally control that. Eye roll. She's been a peach lately. Its making us reconsider moving in with them in the spring.

We are on our way home though, and should be home by 9 or so. It was a good trip and I'm glad we went. The weather kinda sucked (so dark and rainy), so we didn't do all that I wanted to do, but it was still a good getaway.

Guess who needed a root canal??? Merry Christmas to me.
