Silly Saturday spam

LO is better now, down to 99.5F this morning and was more playful like his usual self. I saw more smiles and he seems to be more interested in his toys again, but he still isn't eating all that much. He lost a pound since his 6mo check up.

The doc checked to make sure his lungs were clear and he didn't have an ear infection. Didn't really offer much. Only that there's a virus going around that causes fevers for 24 hours, if he's still feverish after 48 hours, bring him back.

Finished last in my adventure race. Biking is hard. I also only ran the first and last .25km. Walked the other 9.75km. The kayak was fun even in a sit a top. I was the last person and there was an odd number of competitors so one the guys running the kayak portion paddled in the back since they were two person kayaks.

[lilyelayne]

PikoPiko glad he's feeling better & that there weren't any more long term problems the doc saw. Hope his appetite returns soon!
seamonster biking, running, and kayaking? Cool! Kayaking is more appealing than swimming. Major kudos for finishing!!

[mommadozer]

lilyelayne thanks for checking in on my appointment. It went ok I guess. The first thing the doctor asks is how much time I want off from work. That really wasn't the point of me coming in but, it is nice to have the doctors note to enable me to take some time off that cannot impact my overall employment. The doctors do not have referrals to therapists. I have to go back to my insurance and find a therapist.

So, we will see how it goes. I have already been reading anxiety articles DH is helping more and I'm already feeling better.

PikoPiko I'm glad the fever is down and he is showing some interest in things. Hopefully his appetite will pick up and he'll get back on track weight-wise. Poor little guy.

[elsmom]

PikoPiko poor little man! Glad to hear things are improving with his fever etc. and that the dr didn't seem concerned. too bad the dr wasn't more helpful though :/ they must know how stressful it is for you, a word of advice or at least encouragement wouldn't hurt. Hope things keep moving in the right direction and that his appetite improves.

DH does so much fantasy research; I knew he could help. He has Mike Evans so he's crossing his fingers too!

aggiebug our pup still has a few days left on her abx before we take her back in to have her urine tested again, but she seems to be doing much better. Much less leakage happening thankfully because we have enough diapers to change with DD.

Hey everyone! Busy Saturday here.

I went to a yard sale and picked up some clothes, baby toys, and a bumbo-like seat that has a tray for toys (see aw thread for pic). I realized as we tried working on tummy time this week that DS does not have many toys at all. I'd lay down with him and try to hold out the, like, 3 toys he has, but he wasn't interested. Hopefully between more toys and now the seat he'll get some good workouts.

Then we went to our favorite brewery to hang out for a bit.

Now we've been watching football all afternoon.

[lilyelayne]

cougarette DS has that seat too! Sometimes I'll take the tray off and put it on the ground so he can play with it as a tummy time toy.

Ooh, that's a good idea. Part of the problem we have is he still keeps his head down and cries when we try to do tummy time. He's so good at lifting his head, though! I tell him he needs to look up so he can see the awesome things around him. Ah well. Some day (theoretically)

Is it uncommon in most places to say grocery store? I see lots of people on here say they are going to the grocery, which I never hear IRL.

I literally just noticed that! Mind meld!

[cougarette]

Oh and I thought lilyelayne and cloe111479 would like knowing that DS was enthralled with the LSU game instead of playing in his seat earlier.

[cougarette]

How much gin did I add to that drink? Sheesh. I'm such a lightweight now.

Or I should just stick to wine.

Or don't freepour. Yeah, let's go with that one.

I have never noticed this. I'm not even sure what I say. Grocery, I think? But I'm pretty sure DH says grocery store.

[cougarette]

It's only 9:30. I seriously thought it was getting close to 11.

And I still have half of my drink!

But DH is asleep, so at least I made it past 9.

[cougarette]

I think I could start a fun thread. I won't go back and change all the bizarre swype autocorrects, then we can play "wtf is cougarette trying to say".

I play that game everytime I post!

What made me notice was you and cloe both said it in this thread (or maybe you said it in another thread recently?) I figured it's a LA thing.

I always say grocery no store on it. (And if you want to get very regional on a grocery thing ... Here in New Orleans a lot of the older people and some young say -- making groceries. It was a huge chain down in this areas slogan and kind of is a thing.)

I say grocery store, as does every one I know here and where I grew up I think. So both New England and Pacific Northwest...

[cloe111479]

I feel so southern sometimes in here. Lol.

Huh. After further reflection I'm positive I say grocery. I'll have to pay attention to what other local people say.

Though both my parents are from NoLa so I tend to use their phrases instead of what people up here say.

This is like when a boyfriend pointed out to me I don't pronounce the R in "throw." Still blows my mind.

This phrase drives my mom crazy. She swears no one in Metairie said it when she was growing up. She also has this problem with calling the day before Mardi Gras "Lundi gras."

Though when I worked uptown, I heard people say making groceries.

I grew up in St. Bernard so I had a lot of people who said it. I never did but others do.

I don't mind Lundi gras. It became more of a term in the last few years. ( which dad's first birthday is Mardi Gras this year).

My grandmother says zink ALL the time. It drives me nuts.

My grandmother is incapable of saying sink. Incapable.

Fun night out at my cousins wedding. I'm drunkity drunk drunk.

[kartish]

I am flabbergasted that some people say something beside grocery store.

Also, my friends had her baby! I don't know when I'll visit him, but he looks so tiny and new in the photo they sent me.

Also, hearing about her labor brought up bitter feelings about my own labor. I hate the way I still feel about it. I really wish I could get over it. The fact that V is here and healthy is all that really matters, but I still can't think about it without getting upset.

Late to the game for last night's spam. I have been insisting for weeks that DH and I have got to have a "home date" (teen goes away and we watch a movie and have some wine and act like we don't have children). So, we did last night. Babygirl went to sleep like a rockstar at 7, we'd already eaten dinner, teen sweetly said "have a great time" and disappeared, I found a good movie we both wanted to watch, DH poured me a glass of wine. And I woke up an hour later covered in my own drool. Apparently, I made it exactly five minutes into the movie. I gave up and went to bed, then woke up at 11 with Babygirl latched and passed out next to me. (She was sleeping in the Pack n Play and I have zero recollection of her waking up, me getting her, etc., although it clearly happened.)

All day I've felt hungover. Maybe DH roofied me in an attempt to get some play. If so, boy, did that backfire. And now back to work. Not loving the stay at home job tonight.

[PikoPiko]

I say supermarket... Hah.

I have a super dumb question... Why are most Carter's clothing sets consist of a pair of pants, a (cute) long sleeve onesie and a (bland) short sleeve onesie? Am I supposed to put LO in a short sleeve under the long sleeve?
