DS only woke up a couple times last night in the crib. He woke up at 5am to feed and would not go back to sleep. So I finally put him in the swing in the living room and he fell asleep. But then DD woke up 15 minutes later.
osumegs I do that more often than I care to admit. We have a video monitor but I turn the volume off at night so my sleep isn't disturbed if she's just making noises in her crib. We are just down the hall so I only hear her if she's crying loud enough to wake me.
cougarette I was never told that and B gets the oral one. Huh. The more you know…
FlutterOfYoshis DD needs white noise also. We gave up on the sleep sheep and just run a fan all night. DH still needs one to sleep at night.
@miniwheats10 enjoy Costco! Not sure if you are in Ontario but Costco here has boys and girls Oshkosh snowsuits out for $29.99 with a one year return policy. I am headed out to get one or two tomorrow!
AppropriateChocolate B loves to stick her hands down there during diaper changes. If I'm not careful we have poop finger paintings everywhere. Apparently I was potty trained at 18m when my sister was born. My mom said I was disgusted by the fact I was wearing a diaper when I saw her in one because only babies wear diapers. Which clearly at 18m I was not. Lol

Clearly at 18m youre a grown up lol. DD stuck her foot in her poop the other day! It wasn't pleasant.
Frequent saline. Keep him upright when he's awake. Going outside to get fresh air. I've been putting some eucalyptus oil on my chest (not down where he eats!) and letting him breathe it in. If he's super stuffy I'm considering putting him in the RnP in the bathroom while I take a hot shower. We always run a humidifier at night but I've been turning it on for naps too.
So far using the nose Frieda 2-3 times a day has helped- I have also kept him up right a little more than normal to help drainage. For those that use the saline how do you do it? I haven't tried yet because I wasn't sure how to do it. Just put drops in their nose? Does it spray like a nose spray? (It makes me think I'm drowning him, not true I know but that's what I feel like lol)
Do you have drops or spray? For his first cold I used the drops, which have a lot more volume when you're putting in so do a really good job of flushing, but I went through them really quickly and DS was not a fan. I just put the bottle up to his nostril & squeezed. The spray comes out more like a mist but with force; I prefer it now because I feel like I can use it more often without upsetting DS. And a can lasts longer. I do still use the drops if I don't feel like the spray is helping enough.

We have the Little Remedies brand. It claims to be drops and a spray. My OH thought it would be like his Flonase allergy spray MIST. So he squirted it up LO's nose and the poor kid started choking on it. He felt soooo bad!!
Yeah that's the brand drops I have. They also make a mist spray. Much less choking!
taberbtb thanks for the snowsuit tip! I'll have to check that out and get my year supply of tooth brushes.
But I hate going to Costco. It's hard to find a spot, just rammed with people and the check out is a disaster. And of course I always spend more than I want to.

It's amazing that I still have people to unfriend on fbook thanks to today's awesome SCOTUS ruling. I thought we'd covered this a hundred times before.
I can't believe it's been 18 years since the first Harry Potter book was released.
Well, in the UK anyway. Those of us in the US didn't get it until September 1st 1998. I remember that I was a month away from turning 11 when it came out, it made me feel like part of the "true" Harry Potter generation.
I just saw a post on Facebook about Americans tweeting that they are going to move to Canada bc of the ruling today. BAHAHAHA! They are 10 years too late!
Nursing DS now, then going to get my shakes and fries on at red robin with a couple of real life F15 mummies. Probably my last mummies play date before I head back to work.

Today is a good day. Amazing news for all my gay friends and family members.
(And not to put a cynical look on it but -- good news for my job security. When people get married some always get divorced and fight over stuff. My job just got a lot more potential clients. -- paralegal at a family law office. It also gives clarity to those who may have been married for years bc they got married in another state but could not get divorced bc of residency requirements or the fact that it wasn't recognized in their state)
Blows my mind every time I see someone on fbook quote Leviticus that gay sex is an abomination and then in the comments claim post wasn't judgmental.
This is why I have a very small pool of friends on facebook compared to other people. So far I haven't seen anything negative from any of my friends, mostly because I would have removed them by now.
I need some prayers for a friend today. Her due date isn't until July 27, but the Dr. decided yesterday at her appointment that they needed to go ahead and induce her this morning due to low fluid levels. I'm heading into the hospital soon to help out with their 4yo DD. TIA ladies.
sending good thoughts for your friend.
I have a friend due the end of August and she is in the hospital for high fluids and preterm labor. She is 4cm dilated and is on hospital bed rest until the baby comes. She will be 32 weeks on Sunday. My heart goes out to her as well. Hopefully all goes well with your friend!

I used to be a paralegal, so I completely understand.

Hehehe this afternoon I gave Jake broccoli (that word again! It just looks WRONG!) again (the stuff he loved one day and hated the next). He pulled a face again but ate a bit more. I switched to some fruit purrees and then towards the end I put in a spoonful of brocolli. He realised and looked at me like 'nice try'. And then he sneezed his food back out over my face. Classy

I can't wait to try solids with DS! But I have to wait til 6mos. Either because of my allergies or he's already too chubby. The pedi wants to keep him on breast milk til the next time we meet.
DH is back from his work morale trip, but he's gone into the office, which is a couple blocks from home. Now LO is sleeping after his car ride screamfest. I'm going to watch some pretty little liars. You ladies got me started on it! 2 episodes in, I like the show so far.

Baby Jamie is here. She was born at 5:13pm weighing 6lbs 5oz and 19" long. They are having to transfer her to another hospital about 15mins away with a nicu due to low oxygen saturation. I'm only getting partial info but I think her level was 85 and they wanted it at 95. Continued prayers would be much appreciated. Thanks ladies.

Thank you for the update. They have been on my mind all day. Continued prayers and congrats.
Day 1 of potty training was exhausting. It's hard not being able to leave the house. Towards the end of the day DD decided to remind us what a strong willed child she is with a few not so accidental accidents.
