Stupid Monday Randoms

[lakegirl]

Ds has a fever again. 101 last night and this morning. The doctor is having us come in to be on the safe side because newborn. Fil is here to help me schlepp everyone in because mh is at work.

[rinny]

Boo, I hope he feels better soon and doesn't spread it around lakegirl!


We have a weight check today at 130. Curious to see how much he has gained in the past week. Otherwise I'm parked on the couch for the day.

[lakegirl]

He's a bit more clingy and tired than normal but he's eating and drinking, poops are normal, no rash etc. Plus he was fever free most of Sunday. So I'm not overly concerned except for the newborn thing but it has been a few days now. What it be something awful and guilt inducing like a double ear infection.

[heybulldog56]

lakegirl, hope DS gets over it quick. Let us know what dr says.

I toured another prek this morning. I can't believe I have to think about this shit already... can't believe DS1 is almost three. No plans aside from diaper laundry, a little tidying up, and a nap.

DH asked me if I could do daycare dropoff this morning so he could leave super early to make it to our vacation house job site to meet some workers. I said okay...

DD didn't get into daycare until 9 (usual dropoff is 8 lol), but she was dressed and had her lunch packed and clean nap blanket. B was also fed and ready for a nap in the car. #smallvictories

[heybulldog56]

That's kick ass news opheliainwaders!!!
ellabee, you got her there dressed and with lunch! Victory! All last week I dropped DS off almost two hours "late". As long as we got them there I say we are doing great.

[heybulldog56]

Pretty sure B I see growling at me... so cute.

[vlagroupie]

lakegirl sorry for the sickness, hope everything is ok.
opheliainwaders yay!!!
ellabee yay supermom doing it all! I've only done pick up with both once, thankful mh can do drop off, I be scared with both lol.

[vlagroupie]

lakegirl, I hope your DS starts to get over whatever he has soon. Dealing with sick toddlers and newborns at the same time is why wine was invented.

opheliainwaders, That's awesome news! I remember the first time DS1 managed to get in a growth chart, he was almost 1. It is an exciting time

We were suppose to go to our newborn photo viewing but the photographer is sick so she sent us a sideshow to view our pictures. I may post the link on the private board. They're so cute! W was grown SO much since they were taken.

[pibblemom]

lakegirl, I hope ds feels better soon and it's nothing to worry about.

rinny and heybulldog56, enjoy your day!

ellabee, I say only an hour late with an infant is on time!

Great progress opheliainwaders!!

My only plans today are to try to take C's newborn photos. I bought a lens just for it after picking @ashtogs brain and have a bunch of props ready and waiting plus studio lights if the daylight doesn't cooperate. Now all I need is a sleepy baby for an hour or so....

[thelittleredm]

I caved. Link to our pictures is up on the private board.

[heybulldog56]

Have fun pibblemom!

Ditto! Just put mine up. 😁

Yours are adorbs!!!

[lakegirl]

His ears look fine so the doctor assumes it's viral and should be done soon. But he's put in an order for blood work if ds still has a fever on Wednesday. The usual pep talk about keeping ds away from the baby and hand washing. So now I'll be spazzing about dd's temp because newborns always feel warm to me. Sighs.

[thelittleredm]

lakegirl, I have the same problem with W. I'm always convinced he has a fever until I check it.

ellabee, Thank you!

[lakegirl]

Order my Milkie. It will be here tomorrow. I was spraying all over before I could get dd to latch last night so I feel like this is a good investment. Not quite what I had envisioned using my gift card on but I guess that's mom life.

[pibblemom]

My kid has not been a poop every feed kid until the day I try to take her pictures.

Eat
Sleep
Poop
Change diaper
Scream because world is ending
Repeat.

We had speech evaluation for DS1 this morning. He is definitely delayed in expression, and the therapist is going to want to see him at least twice if not three times a week.

And we have a consultation for W's lip and tongue tie tomorrow morning.

Busy week here.

[rinny]

Woot, L is up over 1 lb from discharge weight and 10 oz from birth weight!

[ashtog]

lakegirl i'm so sorry for your DS. I hope you feels better and I hope everything is OK and you guys don't get it.

rinny love weight checks!

heybulldog56 wow touring pre k?! Time flies!!

ellabee that sounds like a lot of win to me. You're super mom!

opheliainwaders yes!!!

[ashtog]

thelittleredm omg I'm going to stalk your photos now.

carrots have you seen anything yet??

pibblemom if you haven't done it yet crank heat and direct heat from a space heater at baby! Then sleep shall come. Have fun!

ellabee going to creep yours too!

lakegirl thelittleredm yep C always feels feverish, yet never a fever..

tex how old is DS1? Hugs

[ashtog]

I got sleep!!!!



I love that woman so much. Mil, not Tswizzle, although she's cool too.

Also, L had been a cuddle bug so that's a nice change from his usual crazy busy self. He's eating lunch then I will forcefeed him abx and then nap and while he naps I will edit because I'm insane. 😳😂

[silvermelody]

Busy day here. Already had N at the chiro. She's doing well, possibly just one more visit. DH is making us some lunch, N is nursing, I have a wound check at 3pm for my incision infection. Hoping I can sneak in a short nap after lunch but I need to pump too.

I have our newborn photos but haven't had a chance to post them. I've been making a million demo baby announcements instead because I want to get them ordered and I'm indecisive.

[pibblemom]

ashtog, heat is cranked. We are on poopy diaper number 3 and starting attempt 4.

[tex]

ashtog DS1 is 2 1/2. We got referred at 26 months, but it takes forever to get seen here.

[meeggaannw]

On my way to my pp appointment, running late. Ffmc I hope she tells me I can't have sex yet.

ETA I thought I posted this earlier, I did not. She didn't even do an exam but told me I was clear for everything. I know mh is ready to have sex again but I'm not. I'm tired and don't quite feel physically up to it. I considered telling him they didn't clear me but I didn't want to lie.

[heybulldog56]

meeggaannw, maybe play "dumb" and don't offer up the info unless he asks? I still have three weeks till my PP appointment and I don't think I'll be ready for sex by then. I'm sure by DRs standards I will be but... nope.

rinny - do you use the lilypadz wipes or cleaner to clean your pads? I just picked up a pair at target today, but they didn't carry either of the cleaners.
