(Grrrrr...) it's Monday Randoms

[thecatsmeow]

@bubbs119, Happy Birthday!

mrsdee1982, yikes! Hope you get some answers and it is resolved quickly.

[thecatsmeow]

Not a bad Monday here, at least yet! I can't really complain since it is the second week of November and it is 54 F outside! Hoping to get a walk in again today.

Otherwise doing lots of laundry, bedding, rugs, etc and running the self-clean on the oven since I can periodically open some windows for fresh air and since it isn't too cold to hang out downstairs.

LO has been napping for 1hr 40min in the crib! Longest nap ever that isn't on me! Napping FINALLY seems to be coming around.

mrsdee1982 any update?

[mrsdee1982]

Nope. Called back to tell them I'm feeling dizzy now too. Receptionist just said "Ok, I'll let the dr know". I told her "You know this is urgent, right?"

Can you go to an urgent care or even the ER?

[mrsdee1982]

I'm so torn. I don't want to go to the ER and pay $200 for them to tell me I have my period. I also don't want to bleed out and have it written in my obituary "She thought it was just her period".

I just wish my damn doctor would call me back. If I haven't heard back in a hour, or if I start to get any worse, I am going to leave work and go see if I can find an urgent care.

I know it's cheaper, but Urgent Care can't do iv's or give you blood if you're losing too much.  I would probably just go to the ER and see what's going on.  You've been bleeding heavily for how many hours now?

Yea, I would for sure be going to the ER if my doctor wasn't calling back.

I finally shook off the gastroenteritis I contracted last Wednesday and DH caught it last night. He had it a lot worse and even passed out in the bathroom while I was feeding LO. I kipped out in the nursery and I took DH to Urgent Care this morning. 2 liters of fluids and some anti-nausea meds and he's almost back to normal.

Now maybe my life can get back to its regularly scheduled chaos.

Happy birthday @bubbs119!

mrsdee1982 I hope you're okay!

Update: the kids previously mentioned were decently behaved today. This scares me more about tomorrow!!!!!! Please be absent! PLEASE!!!!!

[erbear]

If you e been bleeding that long, mrsdee1982, you probably should go to the hospital. That's a long time to be bleeding that heavily!

Happy birthday @bubbs119!!

My Monday was actually good. I had a full day termination of parental rights hearing set for today with one of my favorite clients. We showed up for the case and the county attorney handed me and the dad's attorney about 100 pages of documents he intended to admit as evidence that he had never provided to us until that moment. Ummmmmmm... The judge chewed him out and reset the hearing for next month. So I had an unexpected free day to snuggle with P and catch up on all my emails while watching TV. It was wonderful.

[periwinkledaydreams]

mrsdee1982 Im hoping the lack of update means you've either stopped bleeding, or gone to the ER, or both. I hope all is well!

[wegrowsheep]

Happy Birthday @bubbs119 !

Joolschweets good job, I'm still a couple hundred out.

My Monday is kicking ass. DD finished her schoolwork by 10, we had a playdate with some friends for a few hours, and made a last minute decision to watch football with the inlaws (I get to watch jessila 's cousin sing!). So, drove north, got my heathenistic red cup at Starbucks, and I might even get to go for a run. Alone!

[tjanca22]

Happy Birthday @bubbs119

I hope things are okay mrsdee1982

DH and I DTD last night, I only had a half day at work today so I got to sleep in until 10 and I am currently enjoying a beer with dinner on the couch! I call this Monday a success!

Happy happy birthday @bubbs119!

mrsdee1982, thinking about you.

This Monday can suck it. Miss T has been a Fussy McGrumpypants the last two days. Not sure if it's because she was way tired from the wedding we had Saturday and the lack of nap Sunday, but she won't let me put her down without wailing bloody murder. She's also been waking up between 11 and 1, crying and inconsolable. I've had to nurse her to sleep after rocking and singing and bouncing didn't help. She's usually a pretty happy baby, and she usually sleeps from 8:30-4:30ish, but not lately. She was even fussy at the sitter's today, which is definitely not her norm. She's still congested from that dadgum cold she's had for two weeks, so I'm starting to worry about ear infections. But she hasn't run a fever, so I don't know.

Is there a growth spurt at 6 months?? This kiddo is wearing me out. I'm by myself in the evening and at night, and I'm struggling.

This just reminded me that my BFF ordered me the Harry Potter coloring book. It has yet to arrive to me, although she may be giving it to me for Christmas. She's terrible at keeping secrets.

Have you seen the fully illustrated version of the Sorcerer's Stone? It's got some GORGEOUS illustrations by Jim Kay. Like phenomenal.

Happy Dirty 30 Birthday @bubbs119

Today sucked. I got the dreaded call from DS's school to tell me he had a fever of 104. Luckily, we got into the ped's office quickly. He was negative for flu, mono, and strep, but he thinks it's early strep. I'm still worried it was a false negative for flu because his friend is out with it. Doc knows this though and still thinks strep. I hope he's right. Fast forward to daycare pickup time and DD's teacher tells me she just took her temp, and it's a low grade fever of 100.2. Not cool universe. Pleasseeeeee don't be the flu! Back to the doc tomorrow.

This sounds like the weekend we brought LO home to two sick siblings. Fx it passes quickly, and is easily soothed by popsicles and movies!

Ugh, Monday...

Both kids and I have colds...so that's fun.

I have my annual OB visit today....yay...

I need to get coffee ASAP!

+1 to the annual visit today...luckily was rather quick and painless. Mentioned that I am 37 and asked how long I can/should wait for number 2 and she said the sooner the better. Every day it looks more and more like we are having one. I cannot even begin to fathom another right now or fathom the daycare bill. Kind of sad.

Mine asked when #3 was coming. I said IF #3 happens, #1 needs to be in kindergarten cause 3 kids in daycare is NOT happening.

[alayne926]

DS got sent home from school today with a fever and because of the way they told me he was acting, I had dh take him to the dr. He has pneumonia! I am freaking out about the baby, so I'm taking her to the dr in the morning.

[musicfrk2002]

Our day started a good 2 hours earlier than normal. Took my stepbrother to a training for his job in the suburbs, then ended up going to visit my grandma another hour away. Had a great baby today...until the second we hit the rush hour traffic on the highway on the way home. Made 4 stops on the hour drive back to try to calm the screaming...then he fell asleep 5 minutes before we were home. I think it was just way too much time in the carseat for him, was probably in there 5 hours total

Happy birthday @bubbs119

[mrsdee1982]

Sorry for the delay in my response. My doctor just called me back about 45 minutes ago (6:30 my time). Basically, breastfeeding does weird things to your body, and this can be one of them. She had me take a pregnancy test while I was on the phone with her. I am to take 600mg of ibuprofen every 6 hours and an iron supplement. If the bleeding doesn't slow down or if it gets worse (?), then I need to call again. If I spike a fever, I need to go to ER.

It has been a very long, uncomfortable day and I am exhausted. DH Should be home from work around 1 or 2 this morning. Praying baby sleeps until at least then. Then he can be on baby duty while I get some much needed rest.

Thanks for checking in on me guys.

[erbear]

So, she says breastfeeding can cause you to bleed that much? Weird.

[clairencub]

@bubbs119 Happy Happy Birthday!

[clairencub]

mrsdee1982 I'm sorry for the rough Monday and sending positive vibes hoping that you get to feeling better. You're a trooper, I probably would have been a hot mess if I were going through that. Feel better!

I totally want to bake that cake now.  I've never though of putting candy in the middle like that (obv waiting until the cake cools).

ETA obviously I don't Pinterest much
