Re: celiac. I had a professor in college who almost died from it. They couldn't figure out what the problem was (this was like 15 years ago) and she wasn't absorbing anything because the cillia in her intestine was basically dying.
hiimjamie since you're probably already on hr's shit list, can you tell them you aren't being provided with adequate facilities? If someone's using them all the time, you might as well not have any.
Update to my update. Sleeping in wrap lasted 10 minutes. Back to screaming. Nursed and now also. I'm afraid to move. I'm so hungry. Why won't my child take a good nap? Why? Teach me your secrets, moms of babies who nap. I never had this issue with my oldest two. They both loved naps until they hit two.

Hahaha they already hate me so much! I talked to my boss and he's going to go to bat for me to see if they can schedule me and the other 2 girls around each other so we don't have overlapping breaks / lunches. There could EASILY be more than 3 of needing the room at some point. There are hundreds of people working here and 1 lactation room. But the sent out an email yesterday saying they made a Foosball room. =|
gingerygirl Eliza will be three months this week and we've been using level twos for about a month. She's still not the fastest eater. About 20 minutes to finish her 5oz bottle.
1) It's snowing. UGHHHH. 2) Forgot my avent pump parts so now having to use the madela, which I hate. 3) The daycare only gave B 3 bottles yesterday because he was sleeping through feeding times. Yes my child likes to sleep. Wake him up and feed him! 4) Forgot to wear an undershirt today so I'm having to pump completely topless and it's cold in here. 5) I wore a fleece shirt because it's cold but it's too warm and I'm hot at my desk. 6) My madela talks to me and it's a weird bitch. During the first part while it's trying to get a letdown it says "Wacko, wacko, wacko, wacko..." and now it's saying "Group Hug, Group Hug, Group Hug"
Ok so maybe #6 is my imagination but dammit it's weird how similar they sound.
Now I'm never going to be able to pump peacefully thinking about this.

Happy birthday arimaythea and happy anniversary @mrspanpan! I hope you both have a great day! On my side I think my son, who started off as the worlds sleepiest baby has done a complete 180. He still sleeps great at night, but come morning, he won't go down. And when I finally do get him to sleep in his crib, as soon as I lie down for a well deserved nap, he banshee screams, making me jump out of my skin and leaving me completely frayed. Of course right after that he'll take a three hour nap and I'll be staring at the ceiling trying to calm my heart rate.
Grrr. Mom fail of the day- I was letting DD color pictures and cut them out as we have done many times in the past. I stepped out long enough to change the baby's diaper and she cut her hair. And by out I mean like 20 ft away while I can still see her.
Anyone's LO spit up more after their 2mo shots? I posted how A has been spitting up more in the BF thread...but I realized it's been dramatically worse since her shots yesterday. She never usually spit up at all...maybe once here or there...but since yesterday it's after every feed. I called the ped and they said to monitor and call tomorrow if it doesn't get better and that it isn't a common side effect from the shots, but I googled and saw a lot of mom's mentioned something similar. I wanted to see what you all experienced...did this happen to you too?

Same thing with my cousin. Her parents flew out to be with her because she was so sick. I'm guessing this was 10 years ago. It is like doctors can only think within their specialty and anything that has symptoms systematically is totally confusing.
It took doctors over a year to diagnose my dad with gallstones because he wasn't overweight, female, or old. They did all sorts of invasive tests before doing to easy ultrasound to see it. One doctor even accused him of faking.
I was looking at mfp to see if I had hummus on my snack list, and I've come to the realization my snack list is pretty much Ice cream and wine. I don't know if my life is sad, or amazing.
If you want, you can add me on MFP LizMcCarthy461! I've quit Weight Watchers and just started back up!

Cut and color was a success. I just nursed Alexis the whole time and she was perfect. I picked up to the toddler to find out she hasn't napped at all. So now she's sleeping on the couch and I can't reach the remote so I'm watching Mickey. Ugh. I was supposed to go to dinner with the girls and they cancelled on me. How is it I'm the one with the new baby and am not the one to cancel. I really really wanted Indian food too. Totally bummed.

Still catching up but I need to AW for a minute.
So, last night, we had a huge dose of crazy at 3am from a neighbor to deal with. It's still bothering me. Warning, abuse triggers. Also warning, this is long.
Yesterday, my neighbor stopped by and asked if I could watch her 2yo daughter for a couple of hours. The reason, she had recently recalled repressed memories of her dad abusing her and wanted to go to the police with her husband. Ok, of course I agreed. So they are gone for like two hours, come back. Didn't say anything about it after.
At 3am I hear my son cry out that someone's at the door. Not at the door, she's standing in my bedroom holding her daughter, who's butt naked, crying that she needs help and her husband touched the little girl. I wake H up, tell him to get a diaper for the little girl, and hand my neighbor my phone to call 911.
This is when the crazy starts. She tells the 911 operator she had a "vision". The longer she talks, the more evident it is that she has completely blown her freaking top. She had an "out of body experience" and saw that her husband had been abusing her. And grandma, her mother, is abusing her too. And her husband is outside banging on the door (he wasn't) and he has a gun (he didn't). The 911 call just got more outlandish as it went. I realized this woman that I don't really know all that well, was having a complete psychotic episode in my bedroom. The police responded, took her, the husband, and the little girl and left. The husband came over this afternoon to talk to H about it. Apparently, she was committed last night and because of the allegations the little girl was taken from his custody as well. I'm still really shaken from the whole ordeal. It's just crazy because our boys used to play with her stepson quite often and I've been friendly with her. I knew she was a little quirky, but I've never seen someone dive that far off the deep end before. Some of the things she was saying...Thank god all the kids slept through the whole thing, including DS who called out then went right back to sleep.
Anyway, eventually I'm sure she will be home, but what do I do?? I seriously am a little scared, and I don't want my family involved in any of that. But what happens when her stepson wants to play or she asks to bring the little girl over and I say no way? What will she do?
I should add that I've heard other outlandish stories from her before, but again wrote them off as quirky or attention-seeking, so I'm not even convinced this is a PTSD type thing. I think it's all in her head, maybe paranoid-Schizophrenia? I do truly hope she gets the help she needs, but I'm also genuinely concerned about living so close to them...
bcmomsaysso Oh my goodness! First off, you handled that really well. I don't know what I would have done! That's crazy! That poor little girl, I hope she ok. It sound like she was actually abused right? Just a victim of her Mom's crazy? Yikes. I don't know what I'd do. I'm so bad with confrontation. I'd probably just do my best to avoid them.
bcmomsaysso, that is crazy shit. Like bat shit crazy. I feel bad fo r that woman's daughter and husband. I would cyber stalk that lady like crazy. Any history harming kids? Anything that might potentially put your family at danger? I would also make sure I contact the husband and ask what the diagnosis is because you need to make sure your family isn't at risk from any of her hallucinations. you don't want your kids seeing any dramatizations like that in the future.
wow, I can totally see you having eye conversations with your H as you both saw the crazy unfold.

bcmomsaysso first off, holy effing shit. Sounds like you kept your cool, which is awesome for your family and for not setting her off anymore.
Re: ptsd. As someone who has it, I've never had a full blown extended thing like that where I see the nicu and everything. I don't know if that's possible with ptsd or not. But it sounds like a mental breakdown/psychotic episode.
I'd think twice about having my kid go over there, just in case she flips out again. I'd be more ok with her kid coming over to my house, but then if she goes nuts again, you guys are sort of friends and she might come over again. How did she get in your house? ??

anaberry I actually whispered "we should have locked the door" I always thought my H was just over cautious locking at night, of course the one night he doesn't...
hiimjamie I don't believe she was actually abused, but I'm sure she is traumatized anyway from all of this. Probably had medical exams, etc. And she was taken away from both her parents :/
cupcakecutiern, go to Indian food regardless. Get all the naan. Do it for me who doesn't have access to it.
I totally would but the husband won't eat it.
In my world that would be means for divorce. You won't eat the foods I like?! You sleep outside! (Read that in the best squeaky Feisty latina voice you have).

motownthrowdown H forgot to lock the door and she just stormed right in! And that's my concern. I definitely won't let my kids go there, but do I ban that family altogether? I feel bad for the kids and husband.
bcmomsaysso That is insane. That poor family. I can't imagine how much that poor little girl has been traumatized. I really hope your neighbor gets the help she needs. As well as her family.
I seriously can't get past the fact that you woke up to her standing in your bedroom doorway. I may have screamed. That is so scary shit. Lock your door!!!

Sounds like schizophrenia. I would ban the whole family. The mom could imagine you having an affair with her husband, hurting her daughter, etc. and come after you in a delusional rage.
I would have lost my shit to see someone standing in my bedroom doorway.
Well J didn't do so well at daycare because he's so congested. He didn't nap well and took forever eating (probably because he can't breathe). Ugh, we are going in week 3 of this. If he sounds this bad in Friday, I may call the doctor just so he can take a look at him.
Edit: somehow daycare was changed to sauce?
If it's been that long i'd maybe call tomorrow. Chances are they'll tell you to keep an eye on it but they night want to see him if it's been 3 weeks. Our old pedi always said to bring them in if the cough lasts longer than a week
