So. Tired. I have been awake since 3:30 and I need all the caffeine. Mr C woke up for his MOTN feeding and quickly went back to sleep as usual but I could not fall asleep. Of course I finally drift off 10 minutes before H's alarm went off. Oyi.
I am so ready for nap time. (My nap time )
Any plans this weekend?
I so tired of clutter in the house. H better watch out, I will probably be taking a black trash bag through our house (ha probably just our bedroom) tomorrow morning, get the junk out!
Does everyone have questionnaires to fill out for your pediatrician appointments? S's two year appointment comes with 5 separate questionnaires. They are generally quick and easy but then there are always a few questions I don't know how to answer. Does my kid make unusual motions with her fingers in front of her eyes? I dunno?

Yes on the questionaires. The fingers thing is a symptom of ASD. Wellchildlens.com has examples of what they're talking about. Basically does she commonly wave her hands in front of her face.

I'm on call this weekend so H has to do morning child wrangling so I can check in with work and get them set for the day. He's going to take DS to get his haircut. I want a picture of DS in his lighter jacket before he goes because it looks like a sports coat and he looks a bit like a 70s professor with his hair and jacket. Ski bumper look in his puffy coat with the hair.

aggiebug like for the de cluttering not the exhaustion.
No we don't have questionnaires for our pedi. The intake nurse asks a bunch of questions from the EMR at the beginning of the appointment while an assistant weighs & measures G.

Bible study was good this morning. G woke up last night with a bit of a fever and it's continued on and off today. But he's in good spirits so hopefully he stays that way. One of my oldest friends is coming in from Baton Rouge today; we're supposed to have supper together. FX the little guy is up for it.

aggiebug We only have had one questionnaire, at V's one year appointment I think? Half of the questions I had no idea how to answer, but when the pediatrician went over to a he explained them better so I felt silly saying yes to some of them. I think that all would be a better conversation than a questionnaire.
V and I went out to eat this afternoon, and he ate my lunch instead of his. His was not something I can eat right now, so now he is hopefully napping and I'm scrounging for food at home.
aggiebug, it's great that they are doing the questionnaire for ASD! I applaud those doctors bc too many don't and they go undiagnosed until too late when they go into the school system (3 years old or later). Legally, at least in IL, the school system cannot say it's ASD bc then they have to pay for testing/diagnosis (which the Dr should have already caught). Okay rant over! And yes you would know what it looks like if she did it.

These questionnaires start at two month appointment and look at all developmental skills, major health flags (such as hearing) and evnironmenntal risks (from abuse, to lead, to concern about enough food). They are great and I am glad I do them but some of the questions man! I am like I didn't know I should be encouraging that. .. haha
But yes I am very glad it includes looking for signs of ASD.
A was calling me when she woke up from her nap so I went in there a said, "you rang?!?" She got all mad and kept saying over and over "I didn't ring, I didn't ring." Lost in translation!
N is still not well. Fever (101F), runny nose/cough, sneezing. When do u go in to the doctor? Her throat appears okay but there are little red spots on the roof of her mouth. She says her throat hurts and her stomach is achey. I am alternating Ibuprofen and acetaminophen to keep her fever at bay but she needs the meds or it goes back up (during the night).

Since we don't get the questions ahead of time, there's a lot that I answer "uhhhh no idea!" Fairly specific situations we've never encountered.
dreemkin I think we had a second set of screening questions specifically for ASD at the 18mo well check.
N woke up saying her ear hurt last night and after a few wake ups and some ibuprofen, she slept in our room. She turns into a creature with 10 limbs in our bed so it was not a restful night. Then at 5 this morning she woke up crying that her ear hurt. DH was putting on his jeans to take her to the hospital when she started singing in the bathroom while getting a drink of water. So I took her downstairs and we're watching Finding Dory while we wait for our pediatrician office to open. I told DH that it would take just as long waiting in the ER than to wait at home for the office to open. He is very protective of his daughters but he's impulsive. We even each other out 😉
Poor N! dreemkin I hope you can get in first thing this morning.
V had another rough night, but this time at least he went back down easy each wakeup. Not sure what's going on they're but if he continues this I'm going to start pulling the pregnancy card to override DH's early morning/lack of sleep card.
lilyelayne thanks, well my sister now has a stomach bug so they have to cancel Auntie Day unfortunately. A is still sleeping so we'll see how she is when she wakes up. kartish thanks, I wonder what's going on with V! I hope he is better tonight for you. Lack of sleep is hard to deal with!
H and I watched finding Dory for the first time last night,it is cute.
The trash bag is out already this morning and H says he is scared for his stuff. I told him as long as he actually there's stuff out he shouldn't be . If he leaves it up to me then yeah I am likely to be ruthless.
We were up early this morning. LO enjoyed opening her bday presents. 2 already! Insane. We went to our activities and then grandma came to whisk them away.
Dh and I are going to a seafood restaurant tonight! Date night!

Happy birthday! I know two years olds, it's crazy.

So weird! Dd1 was a wake a lot last night saying her ear hurt too. At first I though she slept on it funny but it kept waking her up over a couple of hours. In the morning when dh asked her if her ear was okay she said it would probably be fine if she was watching tv lol
Clearly our dh's are also very similar with the protective and impulsive impulses lol

dreemkin I go for any fever with indications of ear pain. I'm paranoid about ear infections because my sister suffered hearing loss due to ear infections as a baby/toddler. I'd go for fever and mouth spots for possible strep throat.

Getting DS's haircut this morning was a bust. We went to the barbershop near our house because H needed a cut too. Long wait (an hour) and DS refused to sit for his haircut. H got his cut and I'm going to make an appointment at a kids cut place since he does ok at those places.
Happy birthday baby mishka29! And enjoy your night out!
We made an appointment for both the girls because A developed the same cough and then a rash on her cheeks. N is the proud owner of ear infections in both ears. Poor thing! He said that A's ears, so far, look clear. And the rash is just how her virus is acting or presenting itself, which I figured bc rashes happen with a lot of different viruses. So we will monitor A for fever and such.

Haircut this afternoon was so-so. DS insisted on sitting on my lap. The back is a bit uneven, but it'll grow out and was hard to cut.
Anyone else's kid waking up screaming from naps (like the end of naps)? Screaming and refusing to settle? We've dealt with a few MOTN wakeups like this too.
