Monday Again

[jubilantsquirrel]

I'm sorry goldenlove3. Being miserable at your job is the worst. Can you start looking for something new?

danib, Oh man. I'm sorry his flight got cancelled again. How long is this storm supposed to last?

[jubilantsquirrel]

Only 2 hours and 45 minutes left of work. But really it's like 1 hour and 45 minutes of actually working time left since I still have to take my lunch and pump once more. This is the logic I use to make my day go by faster.

You prob need a bathroom break or to refill your water bottle at least once in there too... Could stretch that to 15 minutes

Oh, easily! And I'm sure I need to go to reception at some point as well (our receptionist is a chatty Cathy). That should kill another 15 minutes. My day just got a lot shorter!

Have you ever been talking to someone and really had to stop and ask yourself how this person made it through life so far?

Brought to you by the genius I was just trying to help over the phone. It's an employee of one of my clients. I really had to stop myself from calling the HR Director (my client/contact who I happen to have a really good relationship with) and asking him how the hell she passed the interview process.

starbuck27 Oooh a trip sounds like just what the doctor ordered... Esp if there will be more helping hands there lol.

[LizInFL]

Ooh starbuck27 a beach trip sounds nice right about now!

Sorry the flight was cancelled danib.

C has been boycotting naps all day, other than a brief mid-morning snooze. She's falling asleep nursing right now so I think I'm just going to hold her as long as she'll sleep. I definitely need to get her on more of a nap routine/schedule during the day, but we've been so busy and on-the-go lately--and will continue to be for the next month or so--that it's probably futile.

Have fun starbuck27!

Sorry about your H danib!

goldenlove3 Good luck at the urologist. B had the same issue when he was born plus a little more.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you end up doing?

We were always on the fence about circumcising anyway but decided to do it while we were at the hospital. Then they said they recommend we see a urologist and the urologist is telling us more or less that it's cosmetic. So we can do it and they'll fix the curve at the same time but do I want to put him through that now? He said he can always decide to do it when he's older if it becomes a problem  but it's obvious going to be more traumatizing for an adult. So I dunno. 

[goldenlove3]

danib I'm so sorry. Does he get a vacation or extended time off anytime soon? He sure deserves it.

starbuck27 that sounds like so much fun! I hope you enjoy every second!

jubilantsquirrel My boss still needs to sit down with me about my goals for the year and I might bring up that I really need to do something else and get out of this group. The problem is I don't know if he'll "release" me since we're so understaffed. They didn't hire anyone while I was gone. My other concern is what if I go somewhere else and it's worse. I at least know what this job entails.

no problem. B had hypospadius and a slight chordee. In our situation the hypospadius was more of an issue. The urologist also advised we wait to get the circumcision done and actually advised us to get a circumcision so he could make the hole a little bit more center with the extra skin. Since we wanted to do a circumcision anyways we agreed to get this done now rather than later. B had surgery at 6 months to correct it. Does C have hypospadius too or just chordee?

He didn't mention hypospadius but it does seem like he might have it a little bit. I told H that he has final say on all things penis and he did quickly mention that he thinks we should do it now. We'll talk about it more after C goes to bed but I'm leaning that way as well.

Was taking care of it at 6 months awful? 

[goldenlove3]

waitwhat I think that's my biggest fear as well. I cried my eyes out when we were at the hospital for jaundice. I couldn't stand my little baby being poked constantly and having an IV. I'm sure he'll be fine like you said it's just scary.

[LizInFL]

Omg. I get no peace/privacy all day. The kids are down and all I want is to use the bathroom and shower in silence, and now my oblivious husband is in here talking to me about stuff and gets his feelings hurt when I'm like, can I just be alone for 10 minutes?!?!

I'm hiding out in the water closet.

[ClassyMrsA]

I'm so proud right now. Don't mind me...just AWing for a second.

[goldenlove3]

Wow that's awesome ClassyMrsA! C is still very slotchy when he sits.

[dashook]

danib I'm so sorry the weather ruined H's homecoming yet again
ClassyMrsA wow, go Lilah!!
starbuck27, sounds like an awesome getaway, enjoy!

Sorry to PNR earlier. Nothing much new to report. I'm still horrendously sick. The doctor couldn't give me any of the really good decongestants because of breastfeeding so I got a saline spray. Woot.

Getting in bed now. The humidifier is running and it would be lovely if I could get more than an hour of sleep tonight. If I have another bad night he gave me a script for a more heavy duty nasal spray that I can fill tomorrow. I really don't care how I get to feeling better, I just want to get there!

Good night, ladies.

goldenlove3 - DS1 had penile scrotal fusion (basically extra scrotal tissue attached to the underside of his penis) so we saw a pediatric urologist when he was tiny as well. We were told it would increase his risk of UTIs long term and so decided to move forward with corrective surgery. He also couldn't have a circumcision as an infant so that was done at the same time. We were told (and granted this is just one doctors opinion) that the "cosmetic" result of a delayed circ (anything beyond the newborn stage) is better if they are a little older (over a year). So we ended up doing it when he was 18 months. Waaaaay harder on me. I was a nervous wreck but it all went smoothly. He was down for about a day just with some discomfort so we watched a lot of movies. I have no regrets about it and agree it's probably best to do it when they are young if you are leaning towards correction!

[goldenlove3]

Thanks for the input shedreamsincolor! Wow 18 months seems like it would be hard since he's mobile. H and I talked and he said he'd rather get it done now so he isn't dealing with a crooked penis when he's older lol. So I guess it's just picking a day and doing it.
