tiffbot I have relatives from the town where the travel agent is from. They are out a lot of money and it's crazy how long this has been going on. I hope your Mom gets her money back!

Just re-read the birth announcement board and it amazes me how many people we don't hear from / now new people we have. Thankful we all found each other!

I hope all the sick babies start feeling better real soon.
I'm always amazed that your LOs can hold the bottle themselves well enough to feed themselves. M does not care to hold on to anything other than to drop it. Anyone else?
holliberry28 - one of my friend's babe who is 10? Months still refuses to hold her bottle. Some of the older babies at daycare don't either.
V's aunt watches my friends babe as well and is still amazed v holds hers. I didn't give v a choice. As soon as she was fidgety and distracted I made her hold her bottle. Now if she drops it, the third time I take it away. Usually ends in crying until she's distracted. Ha. I wouldn't worry, LO will hold it when ready!
tiffbot, ugh that's such a nightmare! I'm so glad we have an amazing travel agent.
I'm so jealous that you get to go to Hawaii. I figure the only way I'll ever get DH to agree to a beach vacation is if a relative is getting married.
Also my parents just came back from there and the baby board books they brought back are incredible!! So stinking cute!
This will be my first ever beach vacation, and our first family vacation so big we need to fly, because my dad has never been a traveller until he finally took the plunge to Vegas a few years ago haha! So you have hope yet, someday
I've been getting really excited about all the coconut and pineapple stuff you've been talking about lately lol!

Well A has another bad ear infection, in the left ear this time. So he's back on antibiotics and I'm hoping he doesn't get another diaper rash/yeast infection from them. Hugs to all the other sick babies out there .
Another random for the day: I hate daycare and I want to quit my job and be a SAHM.
I haven't been around to contribute much the last week or so. I have so much piling up that I feel like I will never see the end of it. B is into everything which makes getting things done that much more difficult. I hope all the sick babes feel better soon! Today sucks and I'm ready for it to be bed time.

Another sick LO over here too. Owen has an ugly cold and not being able to breathe well = no sleep for me. I'm with @wwprestige, I'm so ready for the season of sickness to be over. I ended up with a migraine because I probably slept 3 hours in two days. Ugh. Hugs stcyct I hope they can figure out why your mom isn't feeling well. What kind of symptoms is she having?
Home finally, but back to the hospital on Thursday. I get to have a CT guided needle biopsy on my lung. Hurray...
That sounds scary. Good luck!
@styc, hope you get some answers soon.
I made it! I am actually in bed before 9pm. The baby is asleep too, and H has taken the monitor away from me. Fingers crossed that I'll get some sleep and be miraculously better in the morning!

stcyct, thank you. Just hoping they can figure out what this mass is, at this point. I hope they figure out things with your mom. Hospital stays suck, but I'm sure she appreciates you being there. purple, apparently I'm going to be "consciously sedated"... so that's exciting.
Thanks for the warnings! I definitely want to be safe. H does conferences through universities, and they often don't have a partnering hotel or they partner with really expensive hotels.

It's all a long story. I went to the hospital for some intestinal stuff, and in the process of testing for that, they found a hollow lesion in my lung...which led to being hospitalized over Christmas, and being prescribed antibiotics because they thought the mass was (probably) an infection. My first follow up showed that it had shrunk (Jan 6), but on today's x-ray it had grown from 2 mm to 5 mm. So, my one hour appointment turned into 4, and lots more tests. They still don't know what the heck it is, so now a biopsy and a visit to the infectious disease doctor.

Any advice on getting baby to take his meds??? We BF but he gets bottles at daycare. Last round of antibiotics I was able to mix with his bottles. This time he refuses completely. We've already had to resort to suppository Tylenol.
I've tried blowing on his face and the fancy pacifiers.
I've flown quite a bit with V, mostly alone back and forth to visit grandparents which is a four hour flight. I put her in a night diaper and feed her going up and down. I also bring my portable DVD player and Mickey mouse DVD, but she does nap a bit. I bought a gate check bag at BRU for her car seat because anything associated with a plane grosses me out. It works great and protects her seat from getting dirty. I've had a few awesome flight attendants that have held her for me so that I can use the bathroom or rest my arms. A few have even hooked me up with free drinks!
One flight she just wasn't having it and screamed her lungs off. The passengers around me were very nice about it. I've walked the aisle with her several times too.

I usually put it in a nipple from a bottle and trick her into taking it that way. By the time she's figured out it's meds, it's gone.

I suggest use the dropper, tilt his head back, and drop in between his gum (where his molars will be some day) and his cheek-- maybe 1/3 to 1/2 at a time to make sure he swallows it

This is a SQ and I should know the answer but we had to buy SO a new car, I was suppose to be co signer on the vehicle but am primary. The financial company said to call the dealership but my financial guy isn't in, so I'm waiting on a call. But my question is, will it still affect SO's credit? We wanted it in his name primarily for that reason, I'm assuming it does but...yeah.

Sending lots of virtual sparkly magic dust to the sick and the weary, hoping for babies and parents alike to start feeling better and to get plenty of sleep.
jessila I've been thinking of you and your family, I can't imagine the stress and worry but hope that you still found some peace today.
Today was the first day that I only worked 45 minutes over after quitting time. Since the holidays I was averaging 10-12 hour days and it seems like I can finally see a light at the end of my very busy work tunnel.
