We're seeing Paul McCartney tonight and I'm really excited. I figure this will be the only chance we ever have to see him. My parents are visiting to watch DS since we'll be out late.
@alyllyra, thanks! It's very nerve wracking to think about leaving and living in a different country for 3 years. Plus all the questions. What do we do with our house? And our car, since we can only take one? My job?
Plus, we might not get picked up for anything this time around, so it might take until December to figure all of this out.
Hawaii and Japan were also options, but I vetoed both.
I totally understand. Moving in itself can be nerv wrecking, not to mention moving to another continent! How long will you have after you get the news before you (maybe) have to move?
Hello! We both had off work yesterday for the holiday, so it was a nice three day weekend. Back to the grind today and then next week it's another short week for my cousin's wedding.
H has to pick his new place to work for the next 3-4 years. He can put in for five different places, but only put in for two. One would keep us here, the other would move us to Europe. Now I have to anxiously wait three to four weeks to find out if we're moving. I have mixed feelings on this.
Ahh what an anxious few weeks. H and I have talked about moving over seas and just the talking we did had me a little anxious. It would be an incredible experience to move overseas.

Oh totally incredible! It would be for three years, so we would be back and settled long before DS has to start kindergarten. So if we're going to do it, now's the time. But like you said, I have total anxiety on the whole aspect of the move. Especially the whole do we live on base or off question.
@kaydee0402 I hope you find out quickly one way or another. In the meantime I can't imagine trying to plan for the unknown!
We spent the morning at the walk-in clinic since our doctor was on call at the hospital and therefor not seeing patients today. I was worried about DD's cough. She has had a bad cold for about a week but had an awful bark this a.m. Good news is her lungs are clear, but she has a slight ear infection. We are supposed to monitor and come back if I notice it bothering her. Is there anything I can give her in the meantime to help her body battle this? Probiotics maybe?

mumomma13 sorry the weather is crappy for your last day. taberbtb I'd run a humidifier as much as possible for the cough. When DS is stuffy I put eucalyptus oil on my chest while he nurses or cuddles; I think you could do the same with Vicks if that's your thing.
That moment when you toss extra chicken into the pan for LO only to realize you are cooking with butter and she can't have any dairy... I guess she is just eating veggies tonight.
Is anyone doing / planning on doing baby sign language? When is that a thing?
They've been teaching it to DS at daycare since he started going at 3 months. I try to do some at home, too. I'm not sure if he understands yet, or when he should start to.

pitdigger glad you're home safe! aggiebugcougarettebadw0lf thanks for the input. I've been signing "all done" with DS at the end of meals and nursing (mostly). I think that one will be really useful if/when he picks up on it. Sometimes I sign "milk" for nursing but not usually.
I'm sooooo sick. I really wish I could take some NyQuil or any decongestant but I'm not risking drying up. I toughed it out pregnant I can tough it out breastfeeding. At least all the hot lemon water is keeping me hydrated!
I think DayQuil is considered okay. Sudafed and anything +D are not. But the older our kids get the more likely any decongestant will dry up milk supply hope it passes soon. My last cold was wicked awful; I was so desperate for a decongestant but it just wasn't worth the risk to me. Stay strong, momma!

We've been doing a handful of signs since four months. You can start any time though. It's only around now (at the early side) that they start picking it up. I believe DD understands "milk" and has for 4-6 weeks now. Only in the past two weeks have I seen her deliberately move her hand like that sign, and I have yet to see her do it as communication. She might understand "cat" too. It can be hard to tell!
