Flonase was not a magic cure, so today is attempt #2 at having a mancold.

We're going to ILs tonight for supper with DH's sisters. Rumor has it ILs want us to go on family 7 day cruise around May 2016.

[aggiebug]

Love the alliteration badw0lf!

lilyelayne I hope you feel better. Flonase took a day or two to really work for me, but that was likely allergies not a cold.

V got swiped by one of the cats lay night, poor thing has a little scratch on his cheek.

Back at work today. I really hope I can finish training on my days off soon. I'm done with working extra.

Little Man woke up at 3:30 a.m. wanting to party. He was climbing on everything, playing with his toys, couldn't sit still to save his life. It was basically hell. And then at 4 he started fussing because he had a low grade fever. I felt inside his mouth and I could feel a tooth starting to pop through! Yaaaaay! I gave him some Tylenol and he wanted to be rocked back to sleep. It was such a sweet moment.

But dang, I'm tired today. Where's the coffee?

[kaydee0402]

badw0lf and lilyelayne, feel better soon!

[kaydee0402]

badw0lf, I need to print that graphic out and hang it on my office door.

LO had an early start which means the whole house did. But she's working on a 2 hour nap so that's nice bc I had a pretty good one too! I must go get ready bc she will be up soon.

Feel better lil

lilyelayne, badw0lf, -- Feel better!

I am so ready for the weekend. I am just tired and ready to be home.

[kaydee0402]

cloe111479, ditto. This week has dragged on like a bad date.

Feel better lilyelayne and badw0lf!

We went to see my Moms group today, which was nice bc we haven't seen them in a while since DD's had back to back colds. She has a cold again, but we were outside today so I figured we'd be alright. But man, it's getting cold now! I need to find some warmer clothes for both me and DD. How do you dress a baby for winter?

Especially since for the life of me I can't keep socks on my son. Everyone is all like, oh his poor cold feet, you should put socks on him. Oh, I do, about 20 times a day.

[lilyelayne]

kartish DS loves taking his socks off too, especially in his car seat. Then he chews on them.
dmorgendorffer I've spent way too long playing Carmen Sandiego the past two days. So thanks for the link haha.

[dreemkin]

Re keeping socks on: I actually put them up over the pants which looks a bit funny but they definitely stay on. Learned this from having DD1.

[dreemkin]

Howdy! Not sure why I said that bc I'm far from the south/southwest. Anyway, Annie's still going through something. Thank God for naps bc I was ready to walk away from her. She's so clingy and whiney - so different from her usual easy disposition. Also my H has been working these weird hours this week and it's throwing off our whole schedule. So ready for the weekend! And actually glad to be going to work tomorrow (I'll regret saying this the minute I punch in though).

[seamonster]

DS has decided that 5am is the appropriate time to wake up. Why child? Why?

[kaydee0402]

badw0lf, I ask my lactation consultant.

Question possibly for @lilyelyane. If you're breastfeeding and considering taking a medication, who should you talk to first? Your GP or your pedi?

I talk to my GP, but they are also DS's GP. You can also call infantrisk to ask about the medication. They are really helpful.

I came in to work this morning to a "Baby's 1st Christmas" ornament on my desk. It's from a very sweet co-worker of mine that I love dearly. He is actually out of the office this week, but he made a special trip in just to put this on my desk. It was so nice of him to think of DS.

However...I can't help but be a little...saddened? (maybe not the right word) by it because I have literally been scouring the Internet looking for the perfect "First Christmas" ornament to buy DS. I have several favorited on a couple different websites and was finally getting close to narrowing it down to my "perfect" choice. (I'll admit, I spend forever making small decisions.)

I'm not upset that he bought it because it was a sweet gesture, but it goes back to cougarette's point when dealing with her MIL about the parents getting to buy all of the "firsts". I've already thanked him and will put it on the tree, but I still plan on buying my own as well. He doesn't have kids, so it probably didn't even cross his mind that I would want to buy the first ornament.

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin G is moody too. I think it's one part wonder week 2 parts teething.

badw0lf just depends on how knowledgable they are about BF and meds. I second kaydee0402's thought that a LC is your best bet for being up to speed. You can also call infant risk M-F 8-5central (806)-352-2519
Also your local LLL leader maaaay have a copy of Dr Thomas Hale's book, IIRC it's called Medication and Mother's Milk or something.

It's one of these does the "risk" outweigh the benefit situations. Lactmed/Infant Risk is all question marks. I'll probably ask his pedi at our 9 month visit before I start back up.

Definitely talk to both the pediatrician and the prescribing doctor. Depending on the drug one may know more about the risks than the other. The pediatrician doesn't always know best, honestly with as many drugs as there are on the market I couldn't expect them to know the risks of them all.

[lilyelayne]

badw0lf or ask them both and call infant risk. That's probably what I would do.

[aggiebug]

I went for a walk this morning although it was grey and kind of blah, now it is such a bright and cheery day. I should have waited, but who am I kidding if I waited I wouldn't have gone.

[aggiebug]

GeekBeagle what a sweet gesture, but I completely understand the mix of emotions.

[danitaec]

GeekBeagle, I don't know if it helps you feel better about it, but we've got the baby multiple "1st Christmas" ornaments. Mostly because I see them and think "cute!", and I don't want to settle for just one.

[danitaec]

We're doing a Veterans celebration at school tomorrow, which is great in theory but not so much in execution. There was supposed to be a committee but that ended up being one person who has all the ideas in her head, and is pissed because things aren't coming together. Being the music/sound person, of course I'm finding out last minute what things are expected of me, then scrambling to make sure it's done right/well. Because, you know, you can just set up a sound system on a whim and everything will go perfectly...

Tonight my husband comes home, and I have community band, and tomorrow's FRIDAY. All good things I'm looking forward to.

[dreemkin]

GeekBeagle I love the hallmark baby ornament this year. It's a white porcelain ornate block. It's beautiful if you're looking for a other one. I personally don't care who gives it to her, I'm just glad my mom got it!!

[dreemkin]

The new harry potter coloring book on amazon is out of stock. So I panicked and bought it for when it's next available. I was going to ask for it for Christmas. Oops! I guess I can save it if someone needs something for me. My family does this (will buy gifts for ourselves so someone can give them to us if they need a gift still) and H thinks it's weird.

[kaydee0402]

GeekBeagle, I have multiple first Christmas ornaments that I got from my parents, grandparents and god mother as a baby. I know my mom has bought DS a first Christmas ornament for her house (she wants have ornaments for her grand kids on her tree)and DH and I will probably pick one up at Disney. It's something I wouldn't worry too much about

Hmmm...this is a Hallmark ornament, but it's a penguin in a wagon. It's super cute and I'm obsessed with penguins. The others I've been looking at are personalized ones from Etsy, mostly.

[kaydee0402]

dreemkin, ahhhh I'm jealous that you got one!
