My brother is getting married in exactly 2 months and his fiancé has been posting pics from their engagement photo shoot and I'm kinda cracking up at some of them... I hope that's not too mean... basically his fiancé is absolutely gorgeous, like uncommonly attractive, H and I have always called it "people give you free stuff level" (because it happens all the time, but she is really nice and fairly unaware that most people don't get treated that way)... anyway she is very photogenic and well my brother is not, he never smiles in photos and engagement photos can be awkward to begin with...
SIL's mom passed away recently and I can't stop thinking about it. They did a series about it on the news and watching the pain her dad is in hurts my heart. The memorial service is Saturday and I want to be there for SIL, but J is going to be disruptive. I think DH is going to keep J home so at least one of us can go.
I have a headache today and no meds. I forgot to get them refilled this weekend. Damn.
We had pictures on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. I can't wait to get them back. During the cake smash J kept saying "Yaaaaaay!" It was adorable.
We have an appointment at Children's today. I'm curious to see if J has gained weight. He feels heavier.

My baby made it to Hawaii! He had a really long journey and his flight out of Chicago was delayed 5.5 hours yesterday, so he had to spent the night in the quarantine facility at the airport. My poor buddy... But he is home and so happy! I missed him so much, he has been in PA with my high school friend for 2.5 months, and my dad sent him to the airport yesterday at 3:30am est and he didn't arrive until 7:15pm hst (we're 6 hours behind east coast.)
J has to stay on bottles at least until June with no sippies or straw cups. We'll have another swallow study then and a follow up appointment in July. According to the scale today he weighed 23 lbs. Their's usually reads a little heavier than the pedi's so we'll see what that one says next week.
I really want to go see Beauty and the Beast. I might even ask DS1 to watch LO so H and I can go. I'm thinking weekday night because less busy. Maybe Thursday nite because DS1 doesn't have school on Friday and I don't have work.

Today is DH's birthday. He bought himself what he wanted and we are getting take out from his favorite restaurant for dinner tonight, but I kind of wanted to do a little something extra. I thought something from the local bakery, but he's trying to watch what he eats. My brother suggested a small edible arrangement, but so expensive for fruit! Any other ideas?

Angel food cake with fresh strawberries and light cream? Some stores have those pre made mini angel food cake single servings you can buy.

I'm so behind here. I still have to post the one year photos we got back. They came out awesome. I'll try to get them up by the end of the week and postin the other threads. They just dumped a massive load of work on me at work and I feel like I'm barely keeping my head above water.

I don't know where else to put this but I need to dump it somewhere. My step-mom attempted suicide on Saturday. We are overwhelmed and lost. Never saw it coming.

I have confirmed flu in my school and it's spreading like wild fire. I'm sending home so many sick kids. I'm terrified of bringing it home to J. If he gets it, he will end up in the hospital again.
@pennycandy, did you get a new job? I thought you worked in a hospital.
Sorry about the flu. Fx J stays healthy.
No, I've always been a school nurse. I am an actual RN. There's always confusion about that when I say I'm a school nurse. A new job may be in the works though. We'll see.
I'm a little stressed with everything going on over the next few days. Today the in-laws get here. Saturday is the memorial service for SIL's mom. DH is staying home with J and will be cooking. Sunday is J's birthday party. We will finish cooking that morning. Monday all 3 of us have doctor's appointments. Tuesday we leave for Texas, which is at least an 8 hour drive, probably more like 10 with J.

I totally have mastitis. Ugh. So achy. I've had a fever on and off since yesterday, and my boob is throbbing. Im going to the doctor in a couple hours. H came home "early" yesterday (in time for dinner), so I handed over the kids to him so I could rest. He was supposed to leave work at noon today, but I've called and he isn't picking up, so I doubt he left. I need to go to the doctor at 3:30- we have some time, but I'm sure he'll just get caught up in something at work....

Now I'm confused. There are school nurses that are not RNs?

Yikes! Were you able to go to your appointment?
I was! Got an antibiotic so hopefully I'm much better tomorrow. I have to take it 4 times a day for 10 days. Ugh.

There are health paraprofessionals that aren't nurse, but are often mistaken as nurses. People have said things to me like "I thought the school nurse was just Charlie's grandma or something." It just doesn't seem like common knowledge here. You actually have to have a BSN here rather than an ADN.
