We going to have our morning nap an hour early, apparently. I've have a smoothie, and a blueberry pancake. Time to caffeinate. I need to wrap presents for my nieces before we go. Who am I kidding? I'll just stop at MIL's and do it. She has all the fun paper anyways.
And since I apparently can't keep who lives where straight, I had to go slog through old posts looking for WA people. isadorab and omgtree and demanda. I'M THE ONLY ONE LEFT.

erbear yay for a good appointment! And lol at your DD eating the paper...mine crumpled every bit of it and figured out how to grab and pull for new fresh stuff!
While I'm at it, I'm just going to post 1,000 times.
Has anyone else used PolyViSol vitamin drops for LO?
We started them earlier this week because DD had developed angular cheilitis, but they smell AWFUL and now so does she. I gave her a bath, but the smell is seeping out of her pores, it's not just from getting it on her. Pretty sure we're just going to stop giving them to her because we can't stand the smell. Does that make us terrible parents?
We are using Carlson Baby's Super Daily D drops. It is just 1 drop daily rather than 1 ml. Much easier to give, I either put a drop on my nipple or just straight in his mouth, you could add to a bottle too. I got it on Amazon. It is just straight D though, no iron.

I'm going to be in WA in July for a whole day, so, there's that sorry, I tried.
ETA if you can't tell I'm very excited for said trip, hence random comment that really means nothing haha.

At least you can hang your hat on the pride you feel for having once been able to claim the venerable demanda as your very own.
Every family has a crazy. At least it was entertaining.
Happy birthday tiffbot! Congrats @poppyc8, that's great news! It's 16° F out right now. I was hoping to go run a quick errand or two, but wrapping presents while E naps (hopefully) sounds so much better. I've been good at keeping him very warm when we go out, but I always feel apprehensive that as the temps drop it won't be enough.
One of our account managers sent us Wine the other day... Our Temporary Supervisor is leaving to go back to Hong Kong (she was here while the usual Supervisor was on Maternity Leave). She went out during lunch to buy cheese and crackers so we can drink the wine later on in the day...yay for not getting any work done past 3 pm

We are moving pretty close to WA but on the Canada side. 2 hours north of Spokane. Almost neighbors!
Did something dramatic happen in this thread are are people just actually posting a lot? I haven't gone back and read it yet.
So I was just at the grocery store with P. This grandmotherly lady in the produce section took one look at his shoes (his little Ugg-ish boots), started squealing, and runs over to us yelling "Oh my GAWD! His shoes!" She's standing there holding his feet and then yells to her friend, "Hey Susan, come here and look at this baby's shoes!" Then she sees someone else she knows and yells "Carol, CAROL! Come here! You have to see these shoes! OMG this is the cutest thing I've ever seen!" And next thing I know I'm trapped between the grapes and the bananas with an entire mob of grandmother's descending around us all squealing and fawning over my child. It was really creepy. Kind of like Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.

I quit smoking 2 years before M was born, and lately all I want is to go and buy a pack of cigarettes. I was talking to my friend on facetime the other day and she was smoking, and I swear I could smell the cigarette smoke.

Such a gross habit, I know.
I quite smoking about 4 months before I got pregnant. I miss cigarettes a lot sometimes. Not sure how I'm going to do once I'm not BF, because I think that's the only thing that motivates me not to smoke right now.
I wouldn't want the baby to smell the smoke on me. I guess. For me, it was really easy to finally quit (After 10 years of smoking) because I developed anxiety induced shortness of breath, so that was that. Thanks brain.

My DD was wearing uggs to her dr appt yesterday and the ladies behind he counter we're going CRAZY over her...they were bringing people out from the back to "come see her boots!" it was super awkward because there was totally another baby there that they did not make that big of a deal over!
@ebear84, glad to hear your appointment went well!
C's second tooth started popping yesterday, so we've been a little sensitive. Thankfully nothing like when he started cutting the first tooth. Dilemma I need help with. How do I nicely approach my mother in law and tell her she can't be Santa for C? I feel she had her turn with DH and my SIL when they were kids. Santa should be me and DH. The Santa letter C got in the mail on Monday- she signed him up for it. She's made several comments about oh we'll have to see what Santa has for you. (I get he's only 6mths and won't realize right now, but it still frustrates me) speaking of Santa letter, when I asked her where online she got it from, her comment back was "I don't know what you're talking about. Santa did it" listen lady- I'm not 4, someone was asking about his letter and I wanted to be able to give them the website. So do I suck it up and let her do it this year (since she's already bought him a million stocking/Santa things and just bring it up after Christmas. Or do I say something now and hope I don't upset her too much. Eta: C is the her first grandchild.
Ahh the other day I said I'm hoping to get DS into a photo fundraiser for the NICU where a photographer will take pictures of them holding framed photos of themselves in the hospital, anyway I got an email back today and was able to secure a deposit!! They will come back with scheduled times in a few weeks, it will happen in February and then in May they have a big fundraising evening where they are going to do a slideshow of the photos...I may cry just thinking about it!

sabrinaml if it were me, I would just let it go this year and see if she is as intense next year. If so, then say something. Can't undo what's already been done, plus its not like baby will remember. If next year, she starts up her antics, say something before she gets too deep.

I'll play devils advocate here so to speak. DH & I have no plans of doing "Santa" with our kids...they will know gifts are from us. With that being said H's parents sign their gifts from Santa...OK I get since they do it for the other grandkids they'll do it for my kids. Honestly if they want to spend $$$ and spoil my kids St this point in time I'm just letting it happen. (A side note: I hate how much importance DHs family put on gifts...I hate spending Christmas with them bc of it)
sabrinaml If it was me I would say something after the holidays. There is nothing you can do since she has already bought everything. But maybe had DH say soemthing to do (so its not like you are comming off to strong). Im not really sure how Santa works and who buys who what. But I feel like this should be from you guys. Maybe (might be a bad idea so sorry if it is) You guys do all of the big gifts (or whatever you want to do from Santa) and then if there is one thing she REALLY wants to get him and you guys go to her house to open gifts. She can have one under her tree and when C is older she can say, "I know Santa was at your house already, but he stopped by here because he realized he forgot one present in his Sleigh" I think its that present under the tree"
That way she can still do "Santa" but you guys do 99.999% of it and she can do 1 and I do mean only 1 gift. Just an idea!
