I'm home with DS today. Still has a fever, but is controlled with Tylenol and Motrin. Took DD to the dr because I'm a paranoid mess and he said she's doing great. No need to worry about her getting pneumonia right now, so I dropped her off at school. Ds is content to play as long as I'm in the room, so I'm getting some laundry folded. Dh is off work at 12 and then I'll be heading to work for the afternoon.

If I see one more goddamn post about "Starbucks war on Christmas" or "I'm keeping the CHRIST in Christmas, who's with me?!" I'm going to explode. Calm the fuck down people. It's a red cup. That's all it's ever been. You don't see Jewish people getting up in arms claiming Starbucks is at war with Chanukah because they don't have festive blue cups, do you?

budders - same here. I don't like the cups this year, but it's because they're too boring for me. But, when it comes to holiday decorations, I'm all about over the top and gaudy. No minimalism for me when it comes to decor

Regarding Starbucks... My favorite is the people who are encouraging others to tell the barista that the name to write on the cup is "Merry Christmas" so they have to say it to the customer. So, you are upset about the perceived slight and your answer is to "trick" the barista into wishing you a Merry Christmas after you BUY THE COFFEE. Really?

I used to work with a lady named Merry (spelled that way ) Kris and a last named that made her whole name sound like Merry Christmas.
On another note, my LO slept from 10:30-7:30 and 8-10. Thank you baby!
I am prepping 10 freezer crockpot meals today! I hope they turn out good

I wonder if I am going to have a lefty... he sucks his left thumb, rolls to the left, sucks his left foot, even the flat spot on his head is on his left! He seems just as sturdy on the right and does use those limbs, just is so much more left-oriented. Time will tell I guess.
I am left-handed/ambidextrous so it wouldn't be a surprise.
Feeling so exhausted... since I posted last - about E getting strep and having a double ear infection, it was also confirmed she had a "pretty significant case of pneumonia".
Cue the nebulizer every 4 hours - a follow up doctors appointment, leaving with adding saline nebulizers as often as needed to help with her cough and her mucus.. so essentially every 1-2 hours she was getting some kind of nebulizer for a few days... and 2 more follow ups. She was at the Ped 4x in one week, and we go back again this Thursday.
I was home with her all week, luckily able to work from home (the small amount I could squeeze in, and up with her multiple times a night all week.
Poor thing can finally breathe normally now and is doing quite a bit better, but still using the nebulizer a few times a day... hopefully we've turned the corner and are in the clear now.
Just ended up on the elevator with my boss (an awkward middle aged man) on my way downstairs to pump. His comment: "so you're headed to the barn?" I don't even know what to say to that.
On the upside, I got in a 15 minute nap while pumping.

DB fell asleep at 6:15. DH fell asleep at 6:30. And I'm just sitting here like, what?!?
To be fair, DH got up at 4:30 today and has to again tomorrow. But I'm guessing he'll wake up at midnight or something and not be able to fall back asleep.
Also, 6:15 bedtime for DB majorly sucks when I pick him up at 4:30 from work I can see why some people keep their kids up later who work full time. You'd never see them!
I had my first elderly lady tell me my baby needed a hat...on a 50°f day and a 30 sec walk from the store!
Don't you love that? I had one say to DB recently, as he was fussing, "you're hungry! mommy is going to go feed you soon."
Um. :\
I had an older women at the grocery store when I was wearing the ergo tell me that my baby was going to slide out through the sides. I didn't know what to say it was so nuts
trixi282 hope E feels better soon. Does she still have a fever? Are the antibiotics working?
She doesn't have a fever anymore. She had that last Mon/Tues, and a mild one into Wednesday but it nothing since then. The antibiotics seem to be working, they finally started to make a difference in her ear infection (s ) on Thursday last week, and it was Friday/Saturday when she started to finally sound better and not as raspy and wheezy... She still has coughing fits and sometimes has some wheezing, but it's a lot less intense and less frequent than it was even this weekend.
Lol.I would if that were it but he keeps glancing at me with this hurt pout on his face. I finally couldn't stand it anymore so I went upstairs
Lol!!! Sex still freaking hurts. I don't think I will ever enjoy it again. Sigh.........
After J i felt the same way, it took quite awhile for it to not hurt, let alone feel good... We tried a good 3-4 times where I straight out had to tell him to stop before we'd even gotten anywhere. But just keep trying, and use LOTS of lube, LOTS. Eventually it won't hurt as much, and then slowly it will start to feel better...
Sadly it was a good year before I wouldn't cringe at the idea of sex after she was born... This time I never even started to labor, so I'm not sure it will hurt as much, but we haven't even tried. WC Probably (wednesday confession).
hannahl201477 getting DS on steroid cream for his eczema was the best thing we ever did. Clears it up super fast. I also put Vaseline on him at night so it has time to soak in and keep him moisturized. Don't use anything scented or colored. Reach out if you have any questions...we've done EVERYTHING for his eczema and are finally in a good place.
