I was just going to start a thread bc I'm up BEFORE my kids. No fair! I feel like I didn't sleep at all last night. I blame cold medicine. My mind was racing, including Bubble Guppy songs (FTM, you'll get there). Pictures this morning for Annie's 9mo. Wish me luck! I can't wait to not have so many of these. The girls never cooperate anyway. Why do I do this to myself?
Boo a scrappy nights sleep, anything with pseudoephedrine in it does that too me. It's awful. Do you have full on photo shoots for every month? 3 months?

We went out for date night last night -dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant and then saw Spectre. It was good, typical Bond for me. DH liked it, which means a lot since he's a big fan and has high expectations.
Then we got home and DS had just woken up. It took him a little while to go back to sleep, so I think we got to bed around midnight.
aggiebug every three months for the first year, just at jcp portraits. I ended up rescheduling. We are all sick this morning. And yep, it's the pseudoephedrine that did it.

A friend from high school brought me supper last night. It's been a while since we'd hung out sans husbands, and we ended up sitting up talking til 1am. Oops.
DS still has low fever but is less cranky so I'm hoping he's already on the mend.

Tl;dr recommend your thermometer.
We own 4 thermometers, and I can't find the one I trust best - it's just a simple thermometer that I take under-the-arm temps with, but I find it the most consistent.
I bought a Braun ear thermometer when DS was 3 months because the Internet told me it was great, but I find it hard to get an accurate reading.
He's not sick enough for me to justify trying to take a rectal temp on my wiggle worm baby.
Anyone have a thermometer they love? What about those temporal ones?

My pediatrician office uses a Braun ear thermometer they say it isn't as reliable as a rectal, but unless you are suspicious it does give you an idea of where they are at. You can always take it a few times if you are concerned. If none seem high then go with it. All that to say I don't have one to recommend.
Health/medical people: do you think taking a new vitamin (hair, nail,and skin) can cause it to feel like your heart skips a beat once in a while? I was reading that this can occur. I've also been taking more vitamin c to try to avoid this cold I got anyway. Maybe I'm taking too many vitamins? My heart "palpitation" occurs mostly at night and the morning. I take my vitamins in the morning. TIA for any insight/experience with this.
lilyelayne no rec to offer but I'd just say follow the instructions and add/subtract degrees depending on where you take it. In two babies I've never done a rectal temp. I just think it's a bit... excessive/harsh. I do under the pit.

We r finally starting the basement cleanup . Buying $1400 of carpet to be installed after thanksgiving gave us the kickstart. The basement is finished (sans heat) but super dated and dirty . We are going to clean it up and move all Rs stuff down
We went to Capri today. It was nice to walk the tiny alleys and streets. Dh and G now have matching shirts.
We got nearly a full night's sleep last night!
No concrete plans for tomorrow. Either an Amalfi coast town or Herculaneum. Positano on Monday. Back to Rome Tuesday with a stop at the outlet mall outside Naples. Then home Wednesday with DH's final in person at Gatwick during the layover.

I'd avoid taking it in combination with another multivitamin. Some vitamins and minerals are dangerous in excess amounts. Excess vitamin C is ok since you'll pee it out, but I don't think it does much to help you when you have a cold.

Cuddling a sleeping baby. And I took a nap with him. Time to put him down to bed and have a glass of wine with H.
Trying to decide if I want to soak beans tonight to make soup for lunch or wait until tomorrow and make soup for dinner. I found corn tortillas and I have green chile sauce so I'm leaning towards enchiladas for lunch and soup for dinner.

We had a date night to see Spectre last night too! We went to a theater that serves food and drinks, so dinner and a movie were simultaneous

Hello ladies!
My Etsy shop has been busy, busy busy again! I'm not complaining, it will be nice to have a little extra money before Christmas. But it does mean that I have no time to catch up on the internets
While I was printing orders this morning I managed to sort/organize and clean toys. We put the jumparoo away...when did my baby become a almost 9 month old?!
I need to finish boxing up everything in our great room today, we are getting new carpet on Wednesday (yay for new carpet 2mrsks (mrs&mrsk) !). Moving our ginormous sectional with DH will be interesting....

And now, wine.
Oh, Positano was beautiful! We were there in July. Totally jealous of you right now

Poor sick snugglebug has been nursing non stop today. Turns out it's not a bad weekend for DH to be out of town since DS has been attached to me all day save his nearly FOUR hour nap.

My DH is also a big fan and enjoyed it. Glad you had a great night out!
