PSA for fb friends... Virginia Neal is not from this board. I THINK she is my former psychologist. I'm not sure how she found me or why she even looked for me, but it appears that she added a lot of you possibly bc of the "people you MA know thing." She's just an old lady and isn't trying to creep on anyone.. I'm pretty sure she just doesn't understand fb. Delete her, anyways. Hope everyone's having a good day!
Thanks! I wanted to ask but didn't want to call out someone's real name on the board if they were here. I had put her on my restricted list and PMed her asking if she was from TCF but hadn't gotten a response.
No congestion. It just seems like he spits up most of what he eats.
Maybe monitor. If it seems to be ongoing and he's acting fussy after maybe I'd just give them a call.
From a mom who just had a sick baby because of stomach issues, watch inane and output of baby (count diapers, is his urine clear or yellowish?) less wet diapers? If spitting up persists please call dr.
Don't be too jealous, she woke up like 5 mins after I posted that haha. But, have to start somewhere right? I'll take it!
It's like they know you just bragged on them. I swear every time I tell someone that DS is sleeping in his crib, he wakes up within the minute. I need to stop bragging on him but it's just so exciting!

Btw yay for your LO sleeping in the crib too!!
I started texting H "that thing is happening again that if I tell you it will stop but just wanted you to know". Right now it's code for "omg he's sleeping and it's not on me!!" Even when I wrote earlier that he was sleeping and I was checking out haircuts he somehow knew and woke up just a few minutes later.

His output is fine, plenty of wet and dirty diapers. His urine is clear. He seems to nurse the same frequency and length. I'll watch for any of that to change.
So I went outside to get my dogs and they were gone. Both of my back gates were open. It took me 20 minutes to round them up (they're both huskies and fast as hell and do not come when called). I looked like a crazy person because the only way to get them back is to sprint at high speed away from them so they run after me instead of chasing them away. (Upped my step count at least Fitbit ladies haha). I finally got them back safe and sound, thank goodness.
Now that I am sitting here with the dogs back it freaks me out that someone was in my yard. The dogs have been out several times and the gates were closed all day. DS has been inside all day, and DH isn't in town. I wonder if they were trying to steal something. We've put away all of our summer stuff so all we have back there is a broken lawnmower, and it's still there. So weird.
Ughhh creepy! I've had this happen before too, when I've gotten up in the morning and let the dogs out, the realized the gate is open. So glad you got them back. Stay safe!
TL;DR Advice needed: How do you transfer breastmilk to a bottle without losing the fat and not having to heat it up first?
At daycare I have to bring the bottles ready to go which means if I have to dip into my freezer stash I have to have it thawed and in a bottle but I have no idea how to transfer without losing all the good fatty stuff that separates at the top. When I warm the bottles, no problem, but these would obviously still need to be cold.
I run the bottle under warm water and swirl to mix it together.

They just knocked over and spilled a container of breastmilk as they were putting it in their fridge.
Although I'm kind of impressed that they came and confessed. They could have just not told me, I wouldn't have noticed that it was missing. The fridge is in a secured area because they put cold meds and stuff in there too. So I can't see it.
And I got a meal voucher as an apology. I get three a day because I'm pumping/breastfeeding but dh has to pay, so this saved us $10.
Just had to make an emergency Target run on my lunch break to get new valves for my pump. Why? Because I got angry that mine wasn't coming detached so I could clean it after a pump break and I banged it on the table as I have done many times before and it broke in half. Yikes.
This is going to sound dumb, and please ignore me if this is what you're doing already, but I used to have the hardest time getting the valves off until I read that instead of pulling it off, you should rock it back and forth until it comes off. Does that make sense? I've never had an issue since doing it that way.
H showed me this after I broke it. Somehow his washing my parts 5 times and me washing them a million has turned him into an expert. I'm OK with that.

Why bother taking it apart after every pump break to clean it? You can put it in a ziplock bag and stick it in the fridge. It'll be good for 24 hours like that. Saves a lot of time and frustration...
No room in the fridge at work. I use the quick clean wipes each time. I drop them in the fridge once I get home for night pumps and wash in the sink before taking them to work.

There's a 4 year old next door. Her mom had to leave for the night and asked if somebody would be in to watch her. The nurses couldn't figure out who was supposed to be her nurse tonight. She's in there by herself right now.
Trick or treat was super fun. It was the first time dd has done a neighborhood trick or treat not just our local business association's trick or treat. She had a blast seeing her classmates and her night was made when she saw her kindergarten teacher.
Update- H has seemed to calm down. We haven't talked about the issues we are having yet but I feel like tempers have cooled to where a productive conversation could happen this weekend. I am still floored he apologized yesterday. He is never one to apologize first. He was also willing to hang out tonight with trick or treat. He's not big on crowds and different social situations. Baby steps right?

I hate this place.
Wow that is completely crazy. That sounds like a shit place for bedside manners/common sense.
If A wasn't so immune-fragile, dh and I said one of us would go sit in there with her, because we wouldn't want A to be left like that. And it's a shit place in general lol. Except our doctor. I can't quite work out how that's possible.

Who ever it was that said to put baby down drowsy obviously never had kids of their own.
Amen! This just means I took the time to almost get him to sleep but didn't commit 100% so that he wakes up as soon as he's not in my arms. Maybe this will be great when he's older but right now not so much.

@hiimjaime I have a soft strapless pumping bra that's Medela brand that I bought at Target. I just unclip my nursing bra that I'm wearing and throw that on over the top.
I don't know about tonight but parts of where I live are moving trick or treating to Friday night because of the rain expected on Saturday night.
Ha ha ha! Living in WA state this is funny to me. Trick or treating is always Halloween night no matter what. And usually it is raining.
Hehe I grew up on a small island off seattle and never cared about rain until I moved to Ga. They have a whole nother level of storm/rain here. I will take constant drizzling compared to huge storms.
