lindsay I had PUPPS with M. It sucks, my OB had me trying different OTC allergy meds to help with the rash. I think zyrtec ended up being the winner for me, but it did nothing for the itchiness, only the rash. I tried so much stuff to get relief and the only thing that helped for longer than 5 minutes was aloe with lidocaine. I think the blue walmart brand had a higher amount of lidocaine and worked the best. Otherwise I would end up scratching until I was bleeding/scraping skin. Anything cold on my skin also helped, but the relief went away as soon as my skin warmed up.
sstwinklinglites I'm going to get a Dr note at my appointment next week, and then maybe I'll use it sooner than planned. Maybe my work will let me WFH if I just ask. I guess the worse they can say is no, and I'd just take early leave.
mom2boxers I need to get my hospital bag and DD's bag packed. I think I'll take PTO tomorrow and nap, pack the bags, and maybe get a pedicure.
Yes girl- ask- I'm surprised they haven't offered it but speak up for yourself. Tell them you were just at your OB and she thinks it's best for you at this point. Work from home starting tomorrow.
I don't leave the house alone with two often. Maybe 2 times in 6 months. I also thought it was the worst thing ever to have two at home alone for more than 3 hours that first 3 months. It's not as hard now. I'm hoping DS1 starts listening a lot better before DS2 is mobile because if they're both mobile and don't listen and just walk away from me, I will be stuck in the house unless DH is available.
I'm kinda a homebody, so being home really doesn't phase me. I would be way more bothered by getting them both out and the toddler pitching a fit or the baby crying non - stop over whatever. I'm really hoping for a lot of outdoor time at the house so the toddler can play in the water and run around and I can lounge with the baby. With DH work schedule I can't count on him for any kind of consistency to be home so I can head out with just one.
That time of year will be great for that. Especially if you have a fence.

becole, what a morning. I hope your afternoon is starting off better!
lindsay, definitely take the time off. You're exhausting yourself and you need to rest before the babies make their appearance! Let us know if we can help at all.
I've been MIA from here today. Sorry. Hope everyone's day is getting better.
Today I got a phone call shortly after lunch because my darling angel stuck a pea up his nose and it got stuck. The teachers tried to get him to blow but it didn't work and they didn't think they could get it with tweezers without pushing it farther up. So I spent about 20 minutes rushing around trying to get a sub so I could take him to the pedi. Meanwhile, H went to pick him up, but he said he couldn't leave for the afternoon because they were short staffed at work.
Luckily, H was able to bribe him with candy to blow really hard and he got it out and he could stay at school. But I'm sure this whole ordeal messed up nap time, so who knows what sort of child I'll be picking up after work.

This sucks, but, is a little funny. Why do they think sticking ANYTHING up their nose is fun?

That's rough JoBub. I'm glad he's ok and blew it out. Reading that makes me thankful mine is just a klepto. M is always shoving puzzle pieces and game pieces from DC in his pockets
I missed the call on my phone, so they called me at work and the secretary came and I interrupted my class to tell me they called. So I panicked a little thinking it was an emergency.
Then she started with "we had peas at lunch..." And I thought she was going to say there was a choking incident. So when I finally found out what happened I LOLed. And I could tell the director was trying not to laugh. It was really kind of a relief. LOL

Dh is out of town for business. He was hoping it would be a day trip but just texted that he has to stay the night since he needs to be there tomorrow. Ughhhhh. He's not sure if he has to stay another day. I don't know how the mamas with traveling husbands do this.
I called daycare to ask how he was after I left and they said "well he and Best Friends Name have been wrestling a lot today but that's not really out of the normal. He didn't want to nap but I told him to go to sleep and he did. So he's fine." 😒
This is the first "stage" that I feel like I'm not prepared for. Until now, I felt like every stage of development was better than the last one. But this almost-3yo craziness just happened so suddenly, and it's the first time I'm thinking this kid is going to be the death of me. It's not as easy to stay a step ahead of him anymore.

This I hate when H is gone lol -- I feel bad because I travel for work as well. I have no clue how he will handle two on his own.... eekk.

I already said to someone this morning that 3 was going to kill me. So we are for sure on the same page.

Am I the only one that doesn't mind a traveling H? Maybe that'll change once #2 is here, but now, stay out as long as you need. I like not having to cook for you and being able to do whatever without having to consider him.

Maybe it doesn't mess up your routine as much because you stay home with A. The part that's difficult for me when H travels is doing DC drop off, when normally he does it. Because I have to be at work by 7:30am. H goes in a little later so he can leave the house at 7 and do drop off. I would have to leave home at like 6:30 to make it to work on time.

Question...I'm trying to find a new pcp. First place I called said they have a yearly physician fee of $1,000/year. I'm so confused, what is this?!?! Someone please inform me bc I was so baffled I didn't even know what questions to ask after that.

That's a no. Pcps are begging or business these days I feel like with all the video chat and clinics so good luck with that business model.

Oh, yeah. That would make a big difference.
I'm already kinda wanting to work again. But I imagine I'll hold off for maybe the first year of #2's life. Then look for something different and that pays enough to cover the cost of DC. DS1 will be in preschool and they offer before and after school care and it's way cheaper than DC, so I'd probably do that with him.

She was telling me that the appt times are longer etc and you can get in same day for a sick visit. And I was like ok, but why would I pay 1k for that?!?! Then I was like I've never heard of this before, she told me it is becoming common.

Ummm... wut? I've never heard of this. My preference is to select a PCP with privileges at my preferred hospital. I don't care if it's male or female. I used the Health Grade app. to find one last time.

I've heard it's becoming common, too
Wow. I just don't get it. So I have to pay a yearly fee on top of insurance just to get good service?!?!

I have heard of doctors starting to charge a yearly fee or something in place of insurance. It covers pretty much all the basics you would go to a PCP for. I saw it on TV. I didn't pay too much attention so I don't know the details. Maybe this doc. was doing something like that? It just seems weird.

This is why after my PCP left the practice, I never bothered to find another. If I need something, I go to a UC or Little Clinic or whatever. And so much easier than trying to get a same day sick visit with a PCP.
