Today is a busy day. I have an appointment at the mood disorder clinic this morning. I have to take some paperwork from my insurance for the therapist to complete and I feel weird about it. She has to determine if my anxiety kept me from working. If she determines it did, my insurance will pay me disability for that time. I just feel weird about giving her the paperwork because it is weird to have money tied to PPD/PPA. Don't get me wrong. We could use the money but it still feels weird having her do the paperwork. Afterward, I'm going to try to work in my classroom a little.
We also have DS1's first high school football scrimmage tonight. I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet. DH will have to leave the scrimmage early because he has playoffs in his kickball league tonight.
lotsofdotts hugs. I can understand how awkward that may feel, but that is likely a typical days work for the therapist so don't let it bother you. You did what you needed to do to feel better post partum, and you are doing what you need to do to take care of your family. This is what insurance is for.
lotsofdotts I can understand it may be weird but if she determines it did interfere she is a medical professional who knows how serious PPA is and the reality of how it affects your life. Hugs!
Taking DS for his 6 month appt and DD is tagging along for a check up. This should be a ton of crying and waiting rooms! Afterwards maybe the beach, and I hope to make a nice dinner. I am feeling productive... for now.
I ended up taking PTO today. Dropped Abby off at daycare and was like, nope- can't do this today. I need to lay in bed and cough as loud as I need to. It also is a shitty day weather wise. I see lots of Teen Mom 2 on Hulu in my future.

lotsofdotts GL at your appt @holachica GL at your first day back at work! miniwheat the beach sounds amazing. GL at the check up! @mandd1125 sorry you are still sick but teen mom 2 marathon sounds pretty awesome. I wish I had access to it right now I am behind on it.
Shitty rainy day here but I love rainy days so I'm not complaining. I am so grateful that DS has slept until 7:30 the past two days after a three month stretch of 5am wake ups.
Thanks DS for sleeping well, because it's my first official day back to work! Boring meetings all morning, but thankfully they're giving work time in the afternoon. I'm gonna have to find out about where to pump during these long meeting days...

Hi! Once again not much going on here.. I switched from cramming 8 million plans into one week in July to nothing in August. I am trying to enjoy the quiet days because the school year is absolutely crazy. It's so crummy out I wish I had planned to go into my classroom for a bit.
I can't believe it - my mil said she would babysit Friday for me so I can go into my classroom - at my house! I complained a while ago about how my in laws seem uninterested in babysitting and would only do it at their house, even when it was inconvenient for us. I am feeling much better about the situation and am so happy she is being more flexible.

AF is blessing me with her second appearance since 2014 today. It's a dark rainy day today, so it's kinda perfect.
H is on the train to NYC, so I'm just going to chill with Uhhhh-Lanna and the animals. My etsy shop has really picked back up after being slow for the last two weeks. So I got plenty of work to do when I can squeeze it in.
Also, if my mom knew what you all so kindly said about her in yesterday's spam she'd be SO HAPPY. You guys are the best. I hope that my skin ages like hers.

We have family coming to visit from Texas. They were in Indiana for some baseball league world series, and they're making a pit stop here on their way back. They should be here this afternoon... a day earlier than planned. I have NOTHING ready for their visit because I was planning on doing everything tonight!

I'm so sorry--this is my worst fear when expecting company. Visitor etiquette allows you to have a pass...especially because you have a toddler and a baby, yo.
Someone tell me to do my 30 day shred video during nap time. My original plan was to get up at 5 when dh gets up for work and do it... But dd had me up at 3 for a bottle, then up at 5 and 6 making noise on the monitor. I have zero motivation.

mrsclark731 DH told me they were ahead of schedule (this morning) and I'm like - "well I hope they don't mind take out and mountains of laundry and dirty dishes, because I have to work today".
If they weren't staying with us (all SEVEN of them - ugh) I wouldn't care. Did I mention 2 of them are cousins baseball teammates and they don't speak any english? That should be fun.
mrsclark731 we have the go pro and the Panasonic lumix. What are you looking to use the camera for?
Go pro is great, my husband loves to dirt bike or take his other toys out and strap a camera on. We even bought the harness to strap the camera to the dog. I think he has the go pro 4 now and he said it was better than the newest go pro out right now. The cameras have improved drastically over the years. Yes, this is not our first one. With the 4 you can immediately view the video on the iPhone with its wifi connection and you can edit videos from the iPhone.
DH bought the lumix because he was tired of carrying his big DSLR around. (Yes, I know.... DH always has to go out and buy the latest and greatest. ) it's a great little handheld camera that takes photos and video. Really nice picture quality too. Here is a picture from the lumix. Let me know if you have any questions!
mands1125, I love mental health days. You deserve it!
I wish this was a mental health day. <<whining starts here>> Unfortunately, its a I'm sick as a dog and my coworkers get pissed at me coughing all day in my cubicle day. I could have WFH but I honestly just don't want to sit at the computer. DH is out of town on business so its just me and the kiddo. We are going on vacation Friday too so I need this to go away stat. I might take his Mom up on the offer to come over and help tonight even though she annoys me so much these days. I love my kid and just want to hug her when she comes home from daycare but I also just have way too much to do to deal with her evening fussiness alone. *sigh* <<end whine>>
lotsofdotts sending good vibes for your appointment & +1 to everything aggiebug said miniwheat hope the appointment goes well & smoothly! @holachica good luck! mands1125 rest up! Feel better! cloe111479 hugs. mrsclark731 you crack me up. Almost as much as the actual Uhhh-Lanna video! michelle142 aaah hope you get things done in time. That sounds miserable. badw0lf hugs.

Any BF'ers that have started solids: has LO's poop changed at all? DD had a seriously hard poo this morning. I found that odd because she hasn't had much for solids - once a day for a couple of weeks, but not even that much.

Not a lot I am seeing chunks of stuff (we are doing some BLW stuff) but what are you feeding? I think some foods are more likely to cause constipation.
I never have to work hard to convince H that we need some kind of new gadget. He sells IT....so it is a little too easy for him to order us up something new
I want one mainly to have something in between my big DSLR and Iphone that is portable. I also want it for videos, specifically.

She's had - avocado, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, peach slices, peas and banana. Some BLW some purees. Also oatmeal mixed with breastmilk once in a while. Most recent was peas at dinner last night.

badw0lf, my etsy shop is wedding stationary stuff. Specifically itineraries and 'things to do' cards for out of town guests. I also have a 'Welcome Thank You Note' that is one of my best sellers (thank you for coming all this way to our wedding stuff). It is a nice little corner of the etsy wedding world

I know bananas can cause constipation in babies maybe that is it. I think AppropriateChocolate discovered that issue?
