shehulk723, I'm so sorry about everything your family is going through, MH went through an extremely difficult time 7 years ago during a very long and painful recovery from a nearly fatal auto accident. it's hard not to be consumed by the situation. Sending you big cyber hugs.
Thank you. And I'm so sorry. I'm still dealing with the effects of a bad auto accident 3 years ago that left me with a permenant brain and neck injury auto accidents are no joke.
I am back home! Trying to get over jet leg. Uggg!! The babies have learned so much in the last 3 weeks. So glad that my parents could be part of it. We had a great vacation. It was so hard to leave.
So sorry about YH shehulk723. Can not imagine how hard this is on him, you and your family. Lots of hugs, and hopes that the meds will really help.

blueinred my mom isn't really receptive to those things. We tried telling her this when she pulled it with our first son. It resulted in her not speaking to me for months. Nothing changed.
She is just....difficult. I don't think she sees what she is doing. She isnt receptive to criticism or feedback so trying to work it out seems futile.
She is nuts. She has shoes for my kids at her house. She keeps sweaters for them at her house. She buys water bottles for her house. They're there once a week and I pack all of that but she won't use it. She wants to have stuff separate for her house. I just think it's weird. Wtf why do they need shoes just for her house?!?!? Or undies?!? I just don't understand.
She said once that she would love to have babies again so she could buy all the stuff. So she does. But keeps it at her house so it's only used once a week at most: Seems wasteful. And just weird.
Luckily my kids like their own water bottles and their own shoes and undies and jackets so they tell her they don't want her stuff. They aren't being passive aggressive but they certainly make me happy they don't buy into her weirdness. It's almost like they're our kids and we are divorced.

Are our moms the same person? My mom isn't receptive to feedback, she gets all passive aggressive and I end up feeling like I've done something wrong. She has stuff at her house for my kids. My daughter has been to her house twice and my son never.
My stubborn girl has been on a nursing strike, sort of. I bought a hand pump as a test, can only get about 2oz through the day, consistent over 3 days now. Baby is happy to drink, sort of. Trouble is, she bites. And today she learned to blow bubbles. I just can't seem to get her to actually drink even that 2 oz. She does nurse still, but mostly just at bed and naptimes.
It seems so early for this. She just wants real food, and will drink a little water from a sippy, but mostly she just wants to chew on the sippy spouts.
She seems healthy, not showing signs of dehydration issues. I am just kind of baffled.
venyia - i'm just catching up now, but I was warned about a nursing strike around 9 months with DD1. It happened and she went back to nursing after a few days. I'm bracing for it with DD2. How's it going now?
My mom got a mini cake and candle and sang happy 8th month birthday to M today while she watched the kids while I work. It really irked me. I'm not sure why. I feel like she tried to steal a first. I often feel like my mom tried to control or insert herself inappropriately and tries to do their firsts with her or make holidays her way. I'm being ridiculous on this one, right?
My mom irks me a lot. She deserves it. most of the time.
I know how you feel so it's irk me. My mom tries to be the grandmother/Mom she wasn't so I think it's why I get annoyed. For instance this year she dyed Easter eggs with my toddler and I was upset. I wanted to do it my DD first. When I called my mom out on it she didn't try to hide that she didn't care that she stepped on my toes. She responded with "well it'll still be the first time with you." So no you are not being ridiculous.
This is really ridiculous of both grammas Sorry they are being like this meagpt22 and coffeequeen14. Not cool at all.

This sounds quite over the top. My parents have kid sippy/regular cups, bowls, utensils, that kind of thing, which makes it easier when we go over, but...clothes? Shoes? Really? Aren't they probably already wearing shoes (if they're of walking-ish age) when they arrive? Sorry you have to deal with that!

And now the icing on the cake- just got a notice that if we renew our lease, the price is going up by a lot... I have until the end of this month to decide if we're not going to stay.
shehulk723, good lawd, lady, you just can't catch a break. I am so sorry it is just one thing after another.
eaglewife, well, after trying the pumping thing for a few days, and realizing I wasn't really getting her to drink any extra, I just offer when I can. If she drinks, great, if not or she bites, oh well. She must be getting more than I think because the day I spent working the convention, I only got back to feed her once in the day, and I engorged pretty gnarly by her bedtime. So.... I told myself to just keep on keeping on, and not to get too worried about it. I may introduce cow's milk a tad early if my supply drops off, but she eats well, is growing, and seems healthy.
This mom thing never really stops being baffling, haha!

I'm so sorry that you guys can not catch a break!
And this has been bugging me that despite your DH wasting away, falling, and most likely severe malnutrition that he wasnt admitted. Have you considered a second opinion on his care? I'm sorry if I'm over stepping.

I'm also really confused and irritated by their lukewarm reception to your husband's condition shehulk723. If a second opinion is a possibility, I would encourage that when you are able.

No need to apologize! Not overstepping. We've gone to multiple different doctors and multiple different ERs. It's just the nature of his illness. Unfortunately he has a really really severe case

Is there an alternative to be admitted? Like can he get a home health nurse or someone to come to the house? This sounds awful.

I don't really know. I guess I'll have to look into that.

I'm 3 for 3 with food allergies . DD is now the proud owner of her own Epipens. Avocado was the culprit this time. Sigh.
Damnit. I'm sorry DC. :( IIRC, one of your boys grew out of his food allergy, yes? Is avocado something that can also be grown out of? Would this mean that she'd also be kept away from other pitted fruits? *totally ignorant of food-related allergy processes*

J outgrew his egg and dairy allergies, but is still highly allergic to peanuts. R is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. Knock wood, C didn't react to any other foods. So we will just need to avoid avocado.

Sorry. Hopefully avocado will be an easy food to avoid.
What was your sons symptoms for the egg allergy? The first time I gave DS eggs he had loose BM but was also sick, so couldn't rule out the cold being the cause. I gave eggs again but just a tiny bite of egg yolk and he was so uncomfortable with gas pains. Just curious what your DS1 symptoms were.

He never reacted. It was discovered during routine allergy testing. I'm sorry you are dealing with food allergies too

If the symptoms are just GI that would actually lead me to suspect an intolerance vs an allergy

Yeah that's how his dairy intolerance/allergy presents as GI/reflux. He never had the blood in stool just mucous with dairy. However I have to be super strict. The smallest amounts causes him the worse discomfort and terrible sleep. I'm going to try eggs again once this repeat cold clears up.
It was a bit like christmas today... me and SO got new phones and phone lines. I haven't had a new phone in 6 or 7 years, and I haven't had a working phone in about a year.
My old line was something my aunt pays for (I used to live with her years ago) and we spoke about it last year when she said it was such a minor payment to her that she didn't mind keeping the line up. Ok, great, that is huge to me. I just needed her to make me an authorized user so I could get myself a new phone without her present, as she lives a couple states away. Weeks went by, nothing. I emailed and then eventually called her, reiterated how grateful I was and that all she had to do was take a minute to make me authorized on the account. She never did. I gave up.
Today, my SO had a bad day at work, his phone provider was screwing him again, and he couldn't get in touch with me (my email notification came through 2.5 hours after he sent it). So we decided to bite the bullet and just switch him away from his old provider, and get me a new number and phone, too. Prepaid phones are sooooooo cheap now! My phone literally was free. He got a nicer one but it was still so cheap.
And I actually have a smartphone now. I am a little technologically dazed over it!
shehulk723 I must admit that your H is so blessed to have you. I remember a year ago, you were planning to divorce and now in his time of great need, you are such a rock star partner and caregiver. Obviously, it's not at all ideal to find out how great your wife is through such agony, but I hope he has recognized how amazing you are
Have many of the breastfeeding mamas gotten their periods back? I didn't until DD was 13 months and just had one before getting pregnant with R. The past few days, I've had on and off period like cramping and then my back hurt extremely badly tonight...wondering if it's something else or that I'll get my period back soon.

I had a blissful 18 months without a period after DS2 was born. I would love to go that long this time but I have already felt pinching in my ovaries like they are trying to ovulate, so I'm not getting my hopes up. After S1 it took 8 months.
