Jake is sick. First week at daycare and already sick. He's been snorting and snotty all night. Poor guy has been up every 2 hours. We've currently been up since 4. The forehead thermometer thing says his temp is 101.3 but I don't trust those 100%. The result under the arm is ways lower but he's finally calm so I'm waiting on checking that way. We gave him tylenol and propped up his mattress. Poor guy. I wonder if I have yo notify daycare that he won't be in today?
hiimjamie, when you take temp under arm always add 1 degree to the reading. The mist accurate reading will be rectal. I am not about that so I use forehead one. Mines pretty accurate, I took it to the doctor and after they took baby's temp I took it with mine and the readings were the same.
I would personally be giving Jake Tylenol for the temp, taking him to doctor and call daycare. Edit...tagging is hard. I think I should also admit that I am very paranoid with the temperatures of my children. I take them at least once a week and can tell when they are up by 1 degree, so we HAVE to have an accurate thermometer.
M made sure I wouldn't worry about him being dehydrated with how long he slept by peeing on me when I opened his diaper. Luckily just a little on my shirt.
Sorry about the sick little ones! Sounds like lots of snuggles are in order.
Can anyone recommend a decent baby thermometer? The ear thermometer I bought when my twins were born is a worthless piece of crap. I've been wanting a new one for the past 2 years.
+1 on decent thermometer. I have two and don't like either.
C went to sleep at 10 and is just now starting to stir. Just as I start pumping.
Also pretty annoyed with my SIL. She copied my daughter's costume idea. Emma is Mary Poppins. We have worked for a month on the costume and just this week sil wants to be mary poppins. Now h offered the parrot umbrella I sculpted out of model magic. Annoyed. Why does she have to steal a five year olds' spotlight? SIL prides herself on being "different". So be original and different.

I use a $25 thermometer from target. Turn on, wait for beep, place on temple and 30 seconds later done.
I'm trying to talk my H into going to the zoo today... It's cold(ish) outside so he is leery.
I think we should make a Facebook group, since so many of us are friends on there now, I think it'd be a bit easier to keep up. Maybe this is a uo though.
Any gamers out there? DH got Witcher 3 for his bday and I can't wait to start this weekend. He doesn't know it but my parents pre-ordered him Assassins Creed Syndicate and Fallout 4 for Christmas. So excited!
In other news, A gave me two three hour stretches last night after a week from heck. The lady at my mommy group mentioned offhand that we had a full moon this week and that makes babies sleep poorly. I didn't buy into that since they said a full moon made women go into labor and there was one on her due date and she was born a week later haha. But holy moly she has slept terribly this week.

+1 for the moon making crappy sleepers. Luckily it's just the toddler but man o man it sucks. She will just climb into bed with us which is nice but she's not going straight back to sleep. So that's rough. She needs to get her shit together I go back to work in 3 weeks :/
Ugh, sorry about all the sick babies!! I have a temporal thermometer that I got at Walmart for about $35. It's actually the same one my Peds office uses. Quick swipe across the forehead and we're done. Sooo worth it.
Also. Eliza went to sleep at 8:30 last night. It's 7:15 and she's still snoozing. I pumped before bed at 11:30 last night but holy boob explosion. I like to nurse her when she wakes up but there's no way I'll make it until 8 when I get her up. And why does everything have to be so bittersweet!? I love sleep but I'm not ready for her to be in the 11-12 hour stretches yet. She's a baaaaaaaby. I was perfectly fine was 8-5am
I forgot to mention that we've been trying super hard to get her off her belly because of the SIDS risks. But it's been hard. She loves that belly sleeping. So yay!
Dd's school doesn't do holidays or halloween, so today is wear your pj's to school day.finallyva day we don't fight over what to wear! They are having a fall festival today too that I will go to, so that should be fun. Tonight I am taking my 4 year old to an owl-o-ween campfire.
Sorry for all of the sick babies Add us to the sniffly baby club. Two days in daycare and he's congested and sniffly already.... I hope it doesn't get worse.

Today my mom and I are taking DS1 swimming at the community center pool. We also want to do a little shopping and carve pumpkins. It's going to be busy!!
Sorry for all the sick kiddos. DS1 has a runny nose but that's about it.
No the baby!!! Poor kid has had a tough week from his shots and now this. Am sitting in front of doctors office waiting for our appointment. Hoping meds make him feel better finally!

I hope its just a bad cough but it got pretty barky last night and some of his inhales sounded really strained. So off to the doctors. Will keep you posted.
I just put my 8 week old in a 9 month sleeper for length...geez kid!
And I have to AW one of the sneak peeks from our photo session last night!
Eta: photogs...did she over edit and ruin the pic? She's a new photographer...
It looks good. The one thing I see and I'm not 100% sure because I don't remember other pictures of your dd but her cheek has some color variations that look like she tried to edit out.
With the fb group talk, if anyone wants to join I'll make a secret group. Just pm me your fb name if you want in. My April 11 group is still going strong with only a few minor hiccups along the way. I'm talking like 3 the whole time. Edit: created. Just let me know.

It got super cold yesterday and her cheeks were ruddy from it. This one she for sure overdid
Hope all the sick little ones start feeling better soon!
Getting my IUD inserted this morning. That should be fun, but I'll be happy to get it over with. DH is off today, so he's watching Teagan while I go to my appointment. I'm finally over that stomach bug, so I think the three of us might go out to dinner tonight.
The kids are with their mom this weekend. I'm kinda sad because I love trick or treating with them. We live in the same neighborhood as their mom, so at least they'll be coming by to show off their costumes. Can't wait to see them all dressed up tomorrow!
+1 to sick baby club. He made it 3 whole days in daycare before getting a cold. DS has this chronic cough that has hung around for over 2 months. For those who have kids with allergies, what do you give your kid? DS is two in Dec. I'm starting to think it's seasonal. My allergies have been horrible this year too.
