I just saw this. For some reason tapatalk is not giving me notifications! O is on the mend. He is on a nebulizer and antibiotics and we go back tomorrow to hopefully see the early stages of pneumonia have gone away. It's been such a long week and now he is cutting a top tooth!
I hope your vacation has been amazing Lily! G's smile on Instagram is so sweet and contagious!
Thank you ladies for the passport advice, we need to do that in the next week or two because we are visiting China for work soon.
I love seeing you all on the Instgrams. I miss you!
I was *just* thinking about you. How are you?
Thanks @aggie We are okay. My Mom died in July and now my MIL is starting seed radiation so we relocated to Chicago for a bit. Marlowe is great though and cracks me up!

How are you and the family?
So sorry for your loss. You & yours are in my prayers. Hope MIL responds well to the treatment.
Ugh. Passports. One way or another I know we're going to overseas next year (whether or not it will be forced is what still needs to be determined.) I guess I need to get the ball rolling on an updated passport for me and one for Little Man.
We received the baby passport just a month ago! Taking the photo was way harder than the rest of the process! Little guy was so wiggly.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying that your MIL responds well to the treatments.
Thinking of you and your family chickenhawke . Marlowe is one beautiful baby. Despite the terrible circumstances are you enjoying being back in Chicago?

Oh gosh I am so sorry to hear about your mom and your Mil and family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad you are able to be closer to her for a bit. How long do you think you will be in Chicago?
I am glad Marlowe is doing great! She is just adorable.
We are great. Seems like we are always going somewhere but we enjoy it and S is a great traveler. She is such a happy little girl

PikoPiko DH says for extra calories without having to eat a lot of extra food, GNC sells weight gain shakes. Otherwise he recommends flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, and almonds mixed into a jar of peanut butter. Keep at your desk at work and eat two spoonfuls an hour.

mommadozer I'm glad you can see someone without going through your PCP. If your company has a employee assistance program, you could use that as well. I think it's time to get a new PCP if the current practice is that overwhelmed with patients.

The picture part of the passport was the hardest part. Trying to get one with them looking straight on is hard. We did the white sheet over the bouncy chair trick to get the background. And then when DH went to get them printed, I gave him specific instructions on how to do it because American and Irish passport photos are different sizes. He called me in a huff that they won't let you print passport photos at the kiosk and it became a fight over the phone about how to do it. Head desk because I told him how to do it and he insisted on going without me. Came out slightly the wrong size when he finally got them printed, but the embassy got it to work.
On his application I put brown hair, but that all fell out and he's now a blond. Still has blue eyes, and I don't know where the current brown center is going to turn into.
I thought it was funny that his occupation is baby or child. I wanted to put international super spy.
chickenhawke, sorry for your loss must be tough for your family. T&P.
I'm super sad today after picking up DS from daycare. Eating issues must run in our genes, he refused his bottles 4 times. They couldn't get him to eat at all while at daycare. I'm worried what would happen when he's full time next week. He ate just fine when I fed him there, and I asked one of the carers to feed him also, in hopes he'd get more used to her. My chubby boy is now missing a "bracelet" from each arms (fat folds) after 3 days of skipping on food.

badw0lf, I had another MOTN wake up too. Two nights in a row. Sigh.
I tried letting him CIO to see if he would just go back to sleep (sometimes he does) but then I gave in and gave him a bottle and he chugged it. I hate it though... I don't want him to think that he can just cry and get a bottle but it's the only thing that makes him go back to sleep and I'm desperate at that point.

YES! We love it here. Austin is great, but Chicago is home! How are you and your LO missys?

PikoPiko hopefully L will adjust soon. Is he getting formula or BM bottles? Is he getting solids at daycare too? Is he eating more at home? Are you still nursing at night or have you totally weaned? I see lots of "my baby just started daycare & won't eat" on the BF board, even if LO takes a bottle fine at home, so I've got suggestions from there I can pass along.
