Goooood Morning Thursday!

[Deleted]

I beat penguin129 this morning to start the random thread! I had to get up super early so I can pick up mil at the airport. Enjoy your Thursday ladies!

[penguin129]

@auri I've got you beat! I've been up since midnight with DD. It was a really rough night and is proving to be a rough morning. I've been up 24 hours straight now. I have no idea what is going on.

penguin129, I'm so sorry I was just happy I was on before the east coasters. Hopefully your DD will take a super early nap and let you sleep too!

[penguin129]

And ironically DD is now putting her baby to bed... LOL!

[3timemom]

I hope you get some sleep soon! I feel like in have a busy day but it's actually not really that busy. We just have DD2's end of year preschool celebration today.

I'm also about to put my kids in a box and ship to somewhere. Don't know where and don't care. They are driving me up the wall already.

[penguin129]

I put a call into the pedi's office and am waiting to hear back from the nurse. I think I want to get her seen because of her ear infections in the past. We'll see if they tell me to bring her in or not. She seems to be doing fine now.

I just placed my first order for Young Living essential oils. I'm excited to experiment with them both at home and in my massage practice! I have a counseling appointment today. Hopefully I will continue my trend (of one whole appointment thus far) of not crying, lol. I really need to go running tonight, but IDK if that'll end up happening or not. We keep having a lot of rain and thunderstorms.

[nerdalert]

I'm trying to post more on here!

penguin129 Aw, I hope you get more sleep soon! That sucks.

Today I'm putting DD's outgrown clothes away in storage and trying to get her closet more organized. It always makes me kind of sad when I put away her little clothes!

[penguin129]

I have a doctor appointment for DD for this afternoon. I hope that can give me some answers.

Maybe instead of mailing the kids somewhere you can go away instead. I bet somewhere in the Carribean would be nice this time of year!

(I looooooooove that movie.)



I had the weirdest fucking dream last night.

I cheated on DH. With a random guy who found a kitten in the apartment hall and came asking if it was mine. When H got home I felt so guilty, I told him and he said, "its cool, I was going to do it too"..

[3timemom]

I have sent multiple videos of my kids to my husband today throwing their usual fits. Maybe someday he will realize it's not puppies and rainbows at our house when he is gone.

I get that. DH is awesome when he's home but I honestly think he thinks we are just on pause until he gets home. He comes home and asks things like "did you finish painting the bathroom?" And I'm like no I took care of two small children and a puppy and did four loads of laundry and did the dishes twice and have started dinner. Silly me.

Our front room is a disaster because DS and DD decided today was throw huge fits and toys everywhere. I don't even care if it is still a mess when my husband gets home.

Make sure you find an alternative shipping carrier as USPS no longer ships children. I would hate for you to go through all that effort trying USPS, just to have to start over with another carrier.

I hate having to put away favorites. He loves his shoes right now, so I bought them in the next two sizes so they wouldn't be discontinued when he is ready to move up.

GL getting some answers.

I am secretly happy LO ate a good lunch so that we can have ice cream as soon as he finishes the last couple of bites of his sandwich. I have been wanting ice cream all day. Our current flavor has little cow shaped pieces in it. He insists it is a dog. I have stopped trying to convince him otherwise, so they are dogs now I guess.

penguin129 I hope you get some answers and some sleep soon!

My dad and I went out for a bit today and had a father daughter day! We started at the casino where he gave me money to play. I ended up ahead with $20 after giving him his money back which was nice! Then we took a ride out to the really awesome cheese store where I bought a bunch of cheese and some fudge. I'd say it's been a pretty good day here

[melw629]

I just attempted to adapt my favorite brownie recipe to be vegan. Now I have a 13x9 pan full of watery chocolate goo. At least I don't have to share :/

[honeylemon]

I took DD to the zoo this morning while DS was in school, hoping the walking would get things going. Nope. Now I just have a ton of back pain and I'm exhausted. EDD is tomorrow.

Chocolate abuse tsk tsk

Long story short... It appears the GERD/silent reflux DD had as an infant has followed her into toddler hood. She's been off Zantac since she was 9 months old and today they put her back on it. They also gave me a list of foods we need to avoid giving her because they will make the reflux worse. I hope the medicine and the new diet will make things better. Her ears were clear. The doctor also said the worst of the teeth were in being her canines and 1st set of molars and that she shouldn't have any more teething pain. I'm not sure if I believe that. I am glad I took her in and got some answers. I'd been suspecting her reflux was back, but kept forgetting to ask the doctor about it before. I cried a little when I heard it was back.

I tried the zoo thing at 38 and 5 with DD2, and ended up the same as you

I'm sorry you are dealing with this. DS had reflux and was on Prevacid until he was 27 mos. We tried to wean him a few times before that and it was not good. We did the barium study and an endoscopy to determine a cause and never found anything. They just kept saying he'd outgrow it and to limit certain foods for him. It took awhile but he did. Hopefully your DD will be the same.

FWIW neither of mine have had teething pain once they were close to 2.

Nope. My DD has never been one to get sick. She didn't need an antibiotic until she was four. DS had reflux and chronic ear infections. He had 2 minor surgeries with anesthesia (tubes and endoscopy) before he was 14 mos. So I don't think there's any connection.
