Ugh I'm sorry! Maybe your pediatrician will want to put off the shots if LO isn't feeling well?
M had a physical therapy eval because of his flat head. They think he has torticollis and want to recommend therapy. Also may have to go see a craniofacial doctor to see if he needs a helmet. Just when I thought he was getting better. He was extremely sleepy when they came to assess though. Anyone deal with torticollis here?
LO woke up with a coughing fit that caused her to projectile vomit. Twice. Off to a good start this morning. 4 month check up and shots today, so I am anticipating a rough day,
Aww poor little girl! Hope she feels better and gets lots of rest after shots today
You guys (including all of the stuff on the starting solids thread) are making me nervous about LO's 4 month appointment next week. I've been very chill about everything with him, maybe too chill. DH will be there too and he takes everything to the extreme.
@bubbs119 if you LO is really sick I agree with holliberry28 that the shots will likely be postponed. ETA: I hope she feels better soon!
Missing shots is a pain, especially if your child is in a heavily rule driven daycare like mine. They have been reminding DH about LO's 4 month shots for weeks even though he isn't 4 months yet and in the past whenever we had to postpone shots for DD due to illness we had to send them notes from the doctor to stop the daily reminders.
Oh and another thing about shots and daycare. My daycare is on a different schedule for shots than the pediatrician so whenever they schedules don't line up I need more notes. I should double check that before next week.
Oh and DH just informed me that daycare charged him almost 12K on the credit card this morning because they inputted 1 number too many. He didn't look at the receipt until after he left. I called them and they said they can fix it when we pick them up but come on DH. *eye roll*

When the doctors first thought my little guy was only going to the left we tried a special type of massage and he LOVED it. It wasn't a big deal and he seemed to turn to both sides way more after it. We've also had his head x-rayed because of the skull suture lines but I think they are often too careful, especially since if it isn't their particular area of expertise they would rather have an expert look at it. It's very nerve racking though.
I got LO to sleep in a bit more this morning! We woke up at 8:30. And there was a huge poop waiting for me! She's been working on that for a few days.
DH is acting like he is too busy to call the credit card company, but I'm fairly confident that they are going to call him today before he gets back to daycare to change it. And they will probably put the charge on a hold until they talk to him.

We must have the same baby. We had projectile vomit due to coughing AND we have 4 month shots today too. I have the baby Tylenol ready based on the last shots we got. It's my birthday and the 1 year anniversary of finding out I had a little peanut growing! I'm having all the wine tonight!

LO just randomly freaked out when I tried to nurse her. I gave her some gas drops and she seems better but oh man. I hate when she cries like that for no apparent reason.
Sorry I freaked you out with the solids thread, Widget123. TBH, it freaked me out a little too! DH and I discussed it, and we decided we're going to listen to our pediatrician and start, but if C hates it or doesn't take it well, we will stop and try again when she gets closer to 6 months. I think we're going to start with avocados mashed with breast milk. I'll let you know how it goes!
C decided to start making a really weird noise yesterday. We were playing, where she was laying in my lap, on my legs, and I would raise my legs up to bring her closer to my face and I would kiss her. She was giggling and smiling and having a grand time. Then, one of the times I lowered her back down, she made this loud, high pitched gasping noise. She seemed fine and was still smiling, but it scared me a little. Then she made the same noise twice in her sleep.
So, I basically stayed awake all night, obsessively checking her monitor and watching her breathe. Someone pass the coffee, please.

I was casually talking to DH about starting solids and some of the things I've read here and I mentioned not using store bought food. He got all puffy about how could I decide something like that without discussing it!? lol ok DH, do your research and then let me know if you'd prefer our babies first meal come from a jar or from me mashing up something fresh.

Did it sound like a pterodactyl? J makes this noise all the time, when he is excited or happy. Kind of seems like he is trying to laugh, but inhales at the same time.
I was looking at baby food things today at BRU. Anyone ever used/know someone that used the teether/feeders? There's a Boon one I want.
I also want the pouch maker system. My friend told me to get a covered ice cube tray, though.
I never bothered with any of that kind of fancy stuff. Using an ice cube tray is a fairly common practice but I didn't bother with that either. Making baby food always seemed like a lot of work to me, unless it is simply mashing something easy like a banana which I don't mind doing.

Widget123 I'm nervous for LOs 4 month appt tomorrow too. Mostly because we are going to a completely new practice tomorrow (we moved) so I have yet to meet the staff... but also LO dropped from 58%ile to 40%ile for weight from 1 month to 2 month. Weighing her at home she hasn't gained a whole lot more that I can tell (she's a peanut). But she nurses a lot and is happy. My old pedi just had me "add" a feed. (Basically I try to feed as close to every 2 hours during the day as possible). The nice thing about being a parent though is you still make the decisions you find best for your family. The ped might suggest starting solids or rice cereal, etc but ultimately it's up to the parent. Personally I will not be doing rice cereal (I didn't with DS) and as far as food goes I will follow baby's lead but won't really try anything til closer to 6 months.
DD is either in a 4 month regression or teething. She's *mostly* content but especially as soon as the tired even thinks about setting in, she's highly senstive and completely attached to me, including when it comes to sleep again. DS is thankfully being a trooper because it's similar to newborn days (which makes me think regression). But we have noticed a huge change in her coordination and how well she is grasping and holding toys and stuff in the last couple days, so that's getting pretty cool!
I did, however, discover last night in this sleep trouble, that I can breastfeed lying on my back with a boob flopped to the side. Sounds attractive hey? Apparently those things are stretchy to the max. 2 kids in 2 years, FTW.
Oh! And this morning I was helping DS build a castle of mega blocks and he had already started so I found a piece and put it in and he looked at me with a huge smile and held his hand up and exclaimed 'high five mom!!' Lol, it was super cute and I loved that he was being so encouraging!!
Today is our 2 year anniversary. I think I've seen DH all of 5 minutes today and he wont be home until almost 9:30 tonight since he has to teach. Neither of us have gone out and gotten a gift for each other yet. We like to do something off the traditional wedding anniversary gift thing~ 2 years is cotton. I thought it would be neat to buy him a bottle of Cotton Hollow Whiskey but they don't ship to IL and its not available in any liquor store near me. So back to square one on figuring out something with the "cotton theme" that's still a little unique.
sabrinaml, I like doing a traditional gift for anniversaries too! For our cotton anniversary, I went with cotton candy and decorated a jar. I found some at a movie theater since the stores were out by the time our anniversary came around. Maybe something like that will give you some ideas?
