I can't wait till I'm done training and can have Sundays off. Working extra hours these past weeks have been rough. I miss my baby too much!
I have family dinner tonight with my family. I think that my mom is going to try some sort of intervention for my brother. I don't know, though. Maybe it's just innocent dinner.
We're relaxing on the terrace with some pizza and wine.
G's been awesome, though we need to remember full maintenance before entering a place where we need to check everything (he was probably more critical of Bernini's work than was warranted yesterday). Today we walked and wandered and made it over to the Vatican. Tomorrow I think we're going to the museums there. Also, he loves getting bits and bobs off of our plates. He's gotten cuttlefish, assorted pastas, assorted veggies, assorted meats, and assorted cheeses. And holy crap do people like babies here. I'm glad he's such a people-baby because he gets so much interaction.
LO and I went swimming this morning, which was fun.
We got all the patio furniture in the basement and the toys. Not before DH dropped the glass table top on the bricks and it smashed to a million pieces....ugh. Him 'i thought it was attached!' Check it first!
I'm trying to see if I can get DS christened before we move since as of now we don't know where we're moving to once our bonding leave and traveling is done. I have not attended the church it'd be at. I know my parents will be disappointed not to be there, but my atheist H can hold the camera phone for the live feed if it happens.
Would it be weird to use a christening gown on a boy?
kartish hope family dinner goes well. seamonster I think christening gowns are unisex? Though people may assume he's a girl.
Traditionally they are and I want to get one for the family so if our siblings have kids they can use it or we can use it for the next kid. But I mainly see gowns for girls and suits for boys.
Hola. We are heading home today yay!. We are actually in the plane waiting for a mechanical issue to be fixed. I am on day 2 of a migraine which is killing me.
I think DD has food allergies and this makes me sad. She developed hives when we fed her yogurt (the only dairy she has had) and eggs. We haven't fed either again and I will talk to the pediatrician again at her 9 month appointment. She had bad eczema when she was younger and at 6 months, before she had even started solids, they were predicting early allergy testing. I know there are worse things to be wrong with a child, but I just keep thinking how this might effect her life every single day for the rest of her life.
Oh, also, one of my dogs found a dead bird in the yard and was running around with it in her mouth. This is the same dog that brought one in my house a few months ago. Why are there so many dead birds in my yard?!
I had a trying couple days. So tonight after the girls go to bed it's time to unwind with some wine/beer in front of the fireplace and watch Sunday night football with my sugey.

Hugs. You are correct allergies are a relatively small thing for your kiddo to deal with, but it will effect her and you on a daily basis and some days will be tough. it's ok to mourn the loss of 'normal'. I hope you get some good answers so you can move on to your new normal. I know several people who have outgrown both dairy and egg allergies so there is still a possibility it won't be forever life.

Hi all! Been a while since I posted. E was sick this week with a high fever, not sure what was the cause. Other than that we are starting to get back to normal, almost there. I am hoping the clingyness he has had the last 2 days is from getting over the fever and not a new stage that's going to stay.. Hope everyone has a great week!
Posting now then I'll catch up on spam! But if anyone's planning to order personalized holiday cards with LO's picture on it there's a deal that ends today that you can get 35 for free. Just go to this link www.minted.com/referral/landing/38cs8x Create an account and you get a $25 credit to start. Then go to holiday cards and filter by lowest price to highest. To get them completely free it has to be one of the first few cards listed ($1.30 each). Pick the one you want, change the quantity to 35 then go to personalize. If you don't have your picture yet you can skip through agree choose buy now, personalize later and it'll save your order and you can add the picture later. But anyway, click the expedited shipping where you skip the proof (this gets you $10 off) then enter the code bright25 where you enter your shipping info for another $25 off and free shipping. I hope this makes sense and that someone can use it! My total went from $59 to literally $0.
