My spam for the day: we are selling our house and the inspector found a tiny bit of mold in our attic from a bathroom vent. Of course the buyers asked to have it remediated so the guy is here today. I find this funny/ironic because the microbiologist that works with mold/fungus has it :/ And I have to find humor in it bc otherwise I'd cry. It's hella a expensive to get mold taken care of
As I read this spam post -- I'm working on a case re mold personal injury that goes to trial next week. Insurance company paid some one to remediate it. They weren't really licensed etc... Now the husband and wife and the husbands brother -- all have auto immune system problems from it.
(It was really really bad and was made worse post Katrina not anything like what you were talking of)
Work is busy. See above re trial. I'm pumping about an hour later than usual for no other reason than my own. (Can't say no).
Maybe someone can make a recommendation for me...? my son still has a big startle reflex and swaddling soothes him for overnight sleeping but he's getting strong and can escape the Muslin (sp?) swaddles I have, then I worry all night about him flailing around with a loose blanket.
Also, it's freaking boiling hot here in Cali so I don't want him overheating
We use the halo swaddle sleep sack. They have them in fleece, cotton and muslin cotton. We had a fleece for the newborn phase. Now we use the muslin cotton at home. It's nice and light and we sent a cotton one to daycare. Not sure how that will go yet.
DS went back to sleep for another hour. I got up and got myself ready. Went out for breakfast at a local diner and running some errands.
So excited I found a mobile on clearance (floor model) at Buy Buy Baby! They only have a few at daycare and they're already monopolized by other little ones, but they said I could bring one from home. It's a cute monster one.

Wish I could go home and sleep.
Interesting. Our mold was said to not pose a health concern but that's a scary story! I'm glad we got a certified company to take care of it. In IL I guess there are no state laws regarding mold removal. They follow EPA guidelines. I hope it's good enough now!
Well, it's a good day that will likely turn interesting.
The interesting is that DH has decided that we're going to argue with the consulate because we: still don't have a type-written copy of our marriage certificate, we have no idea where any of the copies we've requested are, and it turns out that the handwritten one we have is considered an official copy as set out by South Africa Home Affairs. Ugh.
The good is that after some gym tummy time and then putting himself to sleep during the workout, G woke up all smiles there and then rolled to his side 4 times. I'm going to have to make sure he doesn't roll into the parking lot by the end of the month.
I need to get a bigger french press this week so that I can make iced coffee.
I'm up. Either DH or the dogs woke DS up at 4:15. They were all moving around the bedroom and bathroom.
I changed him, then held/let him nurse off and on while he woke and slept for 2.5 hours. Asked DH to give him a bottle. He fed him, changed him and then handed him back to me 30 minutes later. I really don't know how he's going to handle him when I'm back to work.
Your morning sounds similar to ours, DS has been fussy earlier than normal the last 2 mornings and I am wondering if he would sleep better in his own room, but DH isn't ready yet (or says he thinks DS isn't ready, but I know it's him). And the today I asked DH to watch DS while I Pumped and he did, but then kept asking when j would be done cause he had stuff to do before work- well ya know what, put the baby down or find a way to get stuff done with him that's what I've had to do. Then as soon as I was done he handed him to me. DH will have DS all along this fri (it'll be my 2nd day back to work) and I'm slightly worried how they'll manage and even DH said he's scared (I know they will be ok and figure their own routine but it's still nerve racking).
On another note, today is the first time I remember feeling a 'connection' with DS while he nursed. Normally it hasn't been any special about it besides it's just how he eats BUT today He stared into my eyes the while time, gave me some smiles and I totally got teary and emotional- that hasn't ever happened before.
LO and I aren't going to do much today, it's rainy so no outside walks. I think we might go to the mall and get my moms mothers day gift so we can get out of the house. Otherwise I am going to get all of the snuggles I can since I go back to work Thu.
toadandbuggie I think those are totally normal mom feelings about work. I'm a part timer and I still go back and forth about being there. But I think, in 5 years when they are in school, I'd be bored.
I agree. I think it's beneficial to keep a foot in the door.
lotsofdotts, we have the Kurt Cobain doc on the DVR (Bulls game last night). I was sort of conflicted about watching it because from the previews I was a little nervous about seeing drug use in the home videos. Was there any of that? I just feel bad for little Frances Bean and the whole thing is just so sad. He was so talented.
It didn't show explicit footage of it, but it was covered. I was fascinated at how sensitive he was and how the fame affected him so much. Courtney is crazy but I think we all knew that.
It was very sweet to see his personal notes and thoughts about being a dad. He truly loved Frances but couldn't overcome his demons. It is sad all around.
lilyelayne, DS loves the seat. The back isn't a head rest, it's just padding, but the whole shape of it is much more support than the Bumbo. The seat is like a circle shape so it gives support high up the back. I use it everyday usually in the kitchen while I make dinner. I try not to keep him in it too long because I don't want him slouching. So far I think it's really helped with his neck strength and he loves being in it.
I second everything @holachica said. Once I got the sit me up seat, I put the bumbo in the closet, where it is currently collecting dust.
And we're back at square 'wait it out' on the marriage certificate.
I am so sorry. This has been quite frustrating. This is to get LO's passport correct? Are your travel plans on hold until you get it squared away or is it preemptive?

I'm sorry, that sounds like such a PITA. On the other hand, thumbs up for LO rolling
We went out tonight for the first time without DD, to see a play some of my friends are in. DD was home with MIL. I was so nervous before, but everything went smoothly. She was apparently a mostly happy baby while we were away, ate ok and fell asleep on her grandma's chest. I'm so relieved! Also, my mom was super jealous that MIL got to baby sit so I think she will want to do it soon. She lives 3h away but she seems fine with the travel if she gets to see DD. I see a date night in our future!

It's for passport and report of birth abroad. We need it for his dependent's reentry letter as well. He can't leave the island and it's making any travel plans stupid and ridiculous. So next month, I'm 5 days off island without him and I'll need some help figuring out what to do with breastfeeding during that time.

How do you prove this? In our old apartment we had a horrible leaking roof, and our kitchen ceiling finally collapsed 4 years later. How much mold was probably in our apartment? Probably a lot. We had it tested in the air and behind parts of drywall and all came back positive. My husband (who already is immune compromised with type-1 diabetes) had a rare lung disease called sarcoidosis. After we left the apartment, his lungs cleared up. Our lawyer says we may not have a case because it is hard to prove. Just curious how you proved yours, if you can say.
Sorry I've been MIA. I go back to work on Friday and I'm not ready. Although it's only for 5 weeks and generally the end of school is easy, I'm not ready to leave my boy. I do have to brag however, that my 2 month old is sleeping 7+ hours at night! So proud! <br> <br> My recovery was not as expected. So I tore during delivery and they stitched me up right after. At my 6 week appointment, my doc told me that I didn't heal correctly. I have an "extra hole" which is embarrassing and gross. So I'm scheduled to have a perinilplasty (something like that) in June to get it fixed. Peeing and sex just hurt bad in that area. So just when I thought that was the only issue, I had a clogged duct that just would not come unclogged, or so I thought. It ended up being an infection in which antibiotics and aspiration of it still didn't work. Today I had an incision to get rid of it. I really hope this works, because this lump is so painful. Plus going back to work it will be a pain to deal with. <br> <br> Sorry for the kind of rant here.... I did miss everyone, just so busy. I will be busier though until summer. Hope everyone is doing well.

Lots of doctors and unfortunately lots of money. The person who owned the house is a doctor and the brother is a lawyer. They had the means to hire the experts needed. And we still haven't proven it. That's what the trial is for.

I am so sorry you have dealt with all of this! I'm back to school already and I wasn't ready either but we are done May 28 and I am counting down the days. So happy you have a wonderful sleeper even though you have had the health issues. Hope you are feeling better soon!

Ugh. I'm sorry this has been such a hassle for you.
G had his 2 month pedi appt today. He weighs 13lb1oz! The pedi was so happy with him. He screamed for his vaccines, and the first one must have hit a vessel because he was bleeding everywhere, but he nursed right after and calmed down. Then we went to the park & he slept & nursed in the ergo, and we went to a greasy burger joint for a quick dinner & he was awake and happy. We came home and I hopped in the shower, and in the 7 minutes I was away he started screaming like he was dying. DH was doing everything he could to soothe him ....... except giving him Tylenol. But I know that screaming can be overwhelming. After some Tylenol and cuddles, he's now sleeping on my chest. Poor guy. And poor DH. Though he said "shouldn't have gotten those shots" and I gave him the evil eye. DH is not vaccinated, but didn't fight me about vaxing G.
Did anyone else's LO have trouble with Tylenol the first time? It's like it got stuck in his throat or something. He was making this horrible noise somewhere between a hiccup, a gag, and a cough but he never stopped crying (yay for breathing) and never spit up.

Oh gosh that all sucks so much. I hope you start healing up soon!
greenpony33 GL to you on your first day leaving DS and DH alone. Im worried for my shifts when DS should be in bed. I have a feeling DH may ask his mom to stay with us when I work my 1-11:30pm shifts in a couple of weeks. Fine with me. They can tag team and it would make MIL more inclined to babysit for late outings.
Also, yay for lots of feels! When they hit you, they can really hit you hard & fast

We haven't had any trouble, but when DS was circumcised they used a pacifier to help make sure he was swallowing the Tylenol well.

Mine has trouble swallowing occasionally. I think it's just because they don't understand they can swallow without sucking.
