I was eating breakfast in my comfy chair and DD decided it looked good. So she was trying to climb onto the ottoman and steal it. Of course I gave her a piece and then it got worse. If you give a babe a roll...

Pics yesterday were terrible. Tears and screams the whole time. Got a few "okay" ones through the tears but very frustrating. Plus we were still rushed by annoying, matching families with bratty kids taking Christmas pics.

We woke up this morning to messages from H's parents. They are at the hospital because H's grandad had another stroke . This one is much more serious and grandmother has dementia which they have been hiding but she is so utterly confused and getting violent when they suggest getting help. They live in a really poor location for medical help and the closest family is 2+ hrs away. Please keep them in your prayers.

Sitting at parent teacher conferences... I'm done with all of my grading, so I'm attempting to plan out the next 3 weeks. But I am getting sooo boreddddd.

Parents sign up for a time frame and visit whatever teachers they need to visit in that time frame. Since I'm part time and teach an elective, I don't see too many parents.

Do you know ahead of time who you will see? Or could they walk in at anytime?

dreemkin I'm sorry these nine month photos have been such a bear for you.

I'm doing the thing I should never do, which is try significant new variations on a recipe when I'm serving it to company tonight. Oh well, in the crock pot now so fingers crossed!

I'm so sorry! What a difficult situation for your family. T's and P's!

We just got home from the dr. She thinks S has a stomach virus that could have possibly been caused by indirect contact with the ILs chickens. We were given very strict instructions about his diet for the next 24hrs, which includes me not being able to nurse him for 8 hrs in order to "rest his gut" and only give him pedialyte, bananas, apples, chicken, or turkey. After the 8 hrs I can slowly start adding BM back in 2oz at a time. S still doesn't take a bottle, so this is going to be very interesting. She also said that if he's still having diarrhea tomorrow that I have to take a stool sample in to the lab to have tested. The sample has to be there within an hour of collection and we live a solid 30 minutes away from the lab and that's with zero traffic.

Some prayers would be greatly appreciated.

The night time struggle continues with 3 wakeups last night and up for the day at 5:40. F off already child.

[aggiebug]

hollydfromtn whoa. I am so sorry you are dealing with that poor S! I am entirely confused as to why she is restricting BM. That is exactly opposite of any line of thinking I have ever heard. Your BM is one of the best immune boosters out there and should be some of the most easily digestible foods. I am not one to question Dr's left and right but I have so many red flag and questions about your instructions.

[aggiebug]

Also DD had diarrhea for 3 weeks. I was going a little crazy at the end because of weight loss and longevity, but the doctor didn't want to do anything until 2 weeks. We backed off on new foods (uh pedialyte I am guessing is new) and I was encouraged to keep up/ increase my nursing because fluids were so important.

I'm not trying to be controversial and anytime US politics comes up I'm bored. But I really need to know what Americans think about Trump running for president.

I was shocked by the BM restrictions too. I just emailed BIL's girlfriend, who is a pediatric NP, to see what she says.

I am glad you have another sounding board you trust. I just can't get behind that advice.

Personally I think he is intentionally trying to be outrageous to get his point across with out any expectation of getting a nomination. Maybe it's wishful thinking. I also don't think he has any realistic chance of getting the nod.

Hey there, Tuesday! I'm sure I'd get over it quickly, but I love staying at home with the baby! Even when he fusses, refuses to nap, and stinks to heaven, I can handle it better than 25+ kids at a time who are wild as bucks.

This morning I went to the post office to mail my breast milk for the piece of jewelry I ordered. The face on the postman when he asked what kind of liquid I was mailing was fabulous. It probably is weird to lots of people, but now that I'm pretty much done EPing I want a reminder/reward for all the work we put into it.

Breakfast for dinner tonight. Yay for actually having time to make meals!

[aggiebug]

Wait danitaec you are getting jewelry in exchange for breast milk? I feel like I missed something!

I am glad you are enjoying your week off with the kiddo

Glad you're getting a second opinion. I'd be so worried about dehydration and calories praying S feels better really soon.

mishka29 whether Trump is in earnest or not, I'm so embarrassed having him on our national political stage.

This. Also, everyone was talking about how funny he was on SNL and I was just pissed. One sketch was making fun of his lack of concrete plans and it just infuriated me. 

I think it's sad that he's the most moderate of all the Republican candidates.

I need G to start sleeping normally again. I've taken the early shift and he's been going without afternoon naps for a couple of days, so no rest at all for me. DH and I had a small fight this morning because my filters are going.

In good news, I scheduled the massage that DH got me before the trip. I'm making it a birthday morning massage on Sunday and it will be wonderful.

Took the day off today. I'm going to a float spa this afternoon to use my mothers day gift finally. I can't wait.

I'm dying to know how you liked your float!! There is a place by me that I follow on FB. I really want to try it! I hope you come back relaxed af.

[hollydfromtn]

I heard back from my NP friend and she said it was really weird that she told me not to nurse him. She said that as long as he's wetting enough and is playful, I should just continue doing what Ive been doing. DH doesn't want me to go against the original NPs instructions because his brothers girlfriend has only been practicing for two months and he says she doesn't have enough experience yet. What do you ladies think? I already went ahead and nursed S around 11:30 because my mom gut said she was wrong, but I'm not a medical professional so I really don't know what to do.

You want to know what kind of Americans are pro-Trump? My Vietnam combat veteran, relatively uneducated FIL. He gets all his 'news' from Facebook (on one of his two Facebook accounts, he can't figure it out), thinks we should 'get rid of all the illegal mexicans', and wants to eliminate all of our government aide programs...even though he benefits directly from them (he is on disability, received a government settlement for his medical complications from serving, and gets all his medical care from the VA hospital).

Personally, I'm hoping his candidacy is a great plan put together by the democrats to get Hillary (and her VP Bernie) easily elected.
