Sitting at the airport badging office. This place is worse than the DMV. I have a little over 2 hours to be done, otherwise I will be late for work. Oh well, not my problem.
Forgive me but I have forgotten if you work for an airport. SO Does and the first time they went to lunch or something so he went randomly and they scolded him for not having an appointment time but took shorter ha
@kej0004 kemdupuis I didnt realize there were other Alabama mamas here We are in huntsville and yes hartselle is small haha we almost bought a house out that way but i couldnt bring myself to be that far out. It is quaint and reminds me of the town I grew up in

Good luck tonight @kemdupius!
You are in Huntsville?! We live in Madison!!! I had no idea anyone was that close! Maybe we should have a play date sometime?!
Haha thank you for the T and Ps @kej0004. It's been an interesting adjustment. I am from the Northeast, and I'm not sure I always rub everyone the right way- haha! I am much too outspoken to fit in well here. I do have to say, I have some pretty great students. Sometimes there is a cultural divide, but they are good kids.
@jimbobcooter LT for losing 7lbs! That is awesome! Hugs to you about your DS1, though. Hopefully your special dinner will help.
Thanks for all the food suggestions! I think we're going to try avacado

@jimbobcooter I struggle to balance DS1 and T.. DD is the oldest, but being the only girl she gets different attention (ballet, tea parties, and homeschooling). So I've been trying to make the effort and do stuff he wants to do. But it's still hard.
BF mamas- there's a supply dip around 6m, yes? Or did I just make that shit up to make myself feel better about my less than stellar pump output the past few days??
I had a dip two weeks ago that went along with my period. Someone suggested I add a calcium/magnesium supplement and that seemed to help! I also made lactation cookies.

Finally got the tree up! I am so proud. It's our first real tree AND it's one that DH and I planted the year we got married. I actually had room for all the ornaments.
I sorted out all the stuff I got the kids for Christmas. All I got T was a book. Damn. And I feel like I need to do better for DD and get her some kind of actual toy (she's getting a LOT of crafty stuff).
It's finally sunny here today! We have had so.much.rain. Kids have been evicted from the house. I'm chilling on the bed while T naps. He was up early with gas, and was so unhappy. I carried him in to see the tree and plugged in the lights. He shut up and just stared. And farted, lol. Christmas trees are magical!
I made a new to-do list this morning, mostly for DH. Can't wait to show him, lol.
ombradellarosa , sorry you are going through a tough time. I would start looking for some ideas of new places and share them with him. Maybe he's just feeling overwhelmed with the whole thing and you need to get some of the steps done for him. Hang in there.
All this talk of food has me jealous. LO has zero interest what-so-ever in food of any kind. At 4.5 months DS1 was practically climbing into my bowl. This LO still does not have any interest (was 6 months yesterday). DS1's first food was avocado so I started there with LO last weekend. Huge no. So I got some oatmeal as something a little more mild and no on that too. Won't even open his mouth for a spoon. I gave it a rest for a few days and tried avocado again on Saturday and he would seriously gag if I even got it near his face. I was able to get a miniscule piece of it in his mouth, and he promptly threw up. So...putting all food on the back burner for at least another week. So bummed!

Looks like we are getting Oscar a corrective helmet. I'm really trying to not be disappointed for superficial reasons. The doctor thinks 3 months could be all he needs, and we would start in the new year..
I know at least 1 other person here got a helmet for their LO... How is it going?

Thank you ladies for the support. I have been looking up places and found several I wanted to look over with DH but so far he's been too busy. My friend cancelled on me today because she's sick but I'm determined to work anyway and I hope maybe I'll be even more productive! I definitely don't think the bugs are going away and even if they do, all the repacking is stuff we need to do anyway regardless of whether or not we move. In the meantime I am not down for the constant spraying. The problem is, I was looking at jobs and I thought I'd be able to work as a substitute teacher but everywhere I look wants the CBEST as well as a sub permit and I don't want to take another test! There is a music instructor position I was hoping for but now I need it more than ever if I can't sub this is not helpful in convincing DH we'll be all right if we move!

carolyngrace, we are rockin' the helmet over here. It is going really well actually, granted we are only on day 10! LO had no problem adjusting to it and wears it well for nighttime and naps. Our orthotist has us aiming for a minimum of 18 hours a day and we've easily been doing 21-22. I usually take it off in the morning for about 2 hours to clean it, feed some solids, and clean/bathe LO, then take it off again in the evening for about an hour just to make sure everything looks ok before bed. So far so good.
I don't remember who asked about the 6 month BM dip, but I definitely remember reading about it somewhere. On a related note, I had crazy output over the weekend. I even had to pump yesterday morning because I was engorged and J had already eaten. The only thing I did differently was have a glass of darkish beer at the brewery on Saturday. So...an excuse to have a beer? I'll add that I struggle to keep up with pumping enough, so this is definitely out of the norm for me.

carolyngrace, we went with plain white, it is solid and not clear. I thought most of the designs were kind of gaudy. And I was worried about the colors being off compared to the pictures.
No one has commented or asked about it yet. I think it has become common enough that most people know someone whose child has worn one, at least that has seemed to be the case when we were telling our families about it. When we've been out and about people have been polite and still comment on his eyes or smile or something like that.

July 15 has their 1st pregnant (again) mom , do we have anyone KTFU? Or even TFAS yet? I remember there were a couple ladies who wanted babies close together but I think they were fairly infrequent posters?

Ditto at this point in the game J13 had already had a few announcements. I've been wondering who the 1st BFP will be

Just did a bit of board stalking. Looks like she's. It actually KU. Invalid test, positive test, negative test, and doctor says not pregnant
veggiemo, my LO doesn't care about food either. He will let me feed him a tablespoon or two of oatmeal a day, and maybe a few bites of peas or avocado, but that's it. He gets mad or starts crying before he eats any amount worth mentioning. I've also tried putting some finger foods on his tray during mealtimes and he just pushes it around. Food is literally the only thing that he has no interest in putting in his mouth.

I technically work for an airline, but not directly at the airport, just have to truck freight there every so often, which requires access inside the gates.
The badging office doesn't close for a lunch hour, but there were seriously a hundred people there. I read half a book.
No, traffic on the way back wasn't quite as bad as I anticipated, so I had time to stop for Chipotle, which I ate while driving, and had about 15 minutes to spare.

Say what?! How did you eat that while driving?! That's amazing. Glad you weren't late!

I don't get salsa or lettuce in mine...just rice, beans, chicken, cheese, and sour cream. Dropped a few pieces of rice, oh well.
