Is it bad that I am excited to go on girls weekend and leave H home with the kids for Saturday and Sunday?
I mean we leave Saturday morning so I will be helping get them ready then and then back Sunday so be there for bedtime (and I think a visit is happening on Sunday for most of the afternoon any way).
Guys. I cannot even with my DD the past few days. She's been on antibiotics for her abscessed tooth (being removed on the 21st!) and dear lord, the amount of drama it takes to get her to take her GD medicine is obscene. It takes close to an hour. It's 5 ML of liquid! For awhile she would lick it off of a cookie, but, well, we're out of cookies so this morning she just had to take it straight and would not. Literally 40 minutes. Thank goodness she's going to her dad's on Friday so he can deal with the drama twice a day for three days. I think (hope?) it'll all be gone by then!
Eek we are getting closer to getting the daycare reimbursement amount figured out. They have an amount listed for each child on our portal now as of a few minutes ago. I'm sure I will get more information tomorrow on it. Now to find out exactly what our daycare will be charging us per month to let our caseworker know the difference (if any) so that he can add it to our monthly rate....
It's insane how many things to figure out at the start of all of this. But getting closer...which helps my type A/planner personality immensely

Hi! We are doing surprisingly well. My boss is being really flexible with letting me take some time off while we adjust to the new baby (since I'm not really entitled to any type of paid leave for foster care). I'm home today and will be doing some half days and working from home for the next couple weeks.
H and I took care of all the required phone calls and scheduled all of the foster care related appointments we need for our new little guy. It's much easier doing this all the second time around and this time for only one kid! Plus the boys' daycare responded to me right away to say congratulations and that they will definitely have a place for the baby in an infant room, so that was a big relief!
Just trying to finish strong this last hour and a half at work but obviously I'm in here so...
And I just realized I didn't take anything out for dinner. MH usually gets home about an hour before I do so hopefully he can take care of that. I think we're going to have chicken fajita quesadillas which is sounding really good to me.
beefinch I frequently get ovulation cramps. Sometimes I get a brief, sharp pain, other times it's more like my basic period cramps or even just that gassy/bloated/crampy feeling. Other times it's nothing at all.

ceejay That is awesome everything is going well! I am glad the little guy is with you. I remember you saying you thought the birth parents may have been hiding his birth.
Some of you may remember me talking about wanting to paint my kitchen cabinets about a year ago. Well I started that project today. Haha
Oof. I painted my cabinets 2 summers ago. Spent my entire life filling holes and painting the insides. Then the last clear coat on the doors cracked.pry cause it was getting cold. They're still sitting in the shop sms i don't have motivation to redo them.
emmaswan have you tried Herseys Syrup? A little spoonful before to coat the mouth and a little spoonful after to wash it down... also doesn't hurt as encouragement to get it done with.

I'm holding on to this information and holding you to it.....lol.
Also, yeah on the daycare being available!
And I hear you on the paid leave crap....I'm covered under FMLA but my STD doesn't apply due to not being pregnant...

Yep. I could take FMLA but am trying to avoid that since it's unpaid. I'm talking with my boss today (at work for a half day today) about my schedule for the next few weeks until baby can go to daycare. I'm hoping he will let me use paid "sick time" for the next week or so (working half days), and then I'll have to work a couple half days from home each week until daycare can start.

That's a great idea. I haven't tried that, but we have Hershey's Syrup so I will give that a shot tonight. I'm willing to try anything at this point. Thanks pearlvirus!

My DD1 had a horrendous sinus infection last winter and we had to resort to the strong but extra terrible tasting antibiotics, so I feel your pain (and desperation 😜)!
