My h applied to a conference on LO's birthday. We could go with him - it's to Toledo, Ohio - but still. He tried to justify it by saying "Oh, we can go to Cedar Point!" Because I'm sure that's so much fun with a 1 year old...
No. to all of that.
This is the same H who tried to justify going to a conference in N Carolina the week Before LO was born and a conference in Denver the first week of July. "I'll take a red eye!" No, dude. No. B
I'm already not amused he's planning on going to a three day conference after Mother's Day that we can't afford a plane ticket for me to go with. He doesn't need to go to this conference. He wants to.

budders I'm sure your ped won't be too concerned, crystals like that are really normal as long as he's not dehydrated. Definitely mention it though and keep us posted. I hope this is the last Dr visit you have to make for a long time. You really deserve a break from all this.
Monday condolences to all who are having a rough start.
mrsdee1982 That must have been so scary. I'm glad y'all are alright. We recently had the possible allergy scare + hospital visit with my oldest. I can't imagine it with a baby. So so sorry! And we still don't know 100% what caused his...a month later. Just had our follow up with the allergist today.
I forgot my lunch today, so I HAD to get Panera. Seems like a win.
@jemomma +1 to fevers while teething. DD is currently cutting her second tooth and had a low grade fever last night.
@wwpestige did the allergist think try reaction was caused by tamiflu? I remember you mentioning that.
prettymama36 She still thinks it's unlikely, but wants to do some further testing since about 8 other doctors called it anaphylaxis. Tamiflu is really the only thing that could have caused it if that's the case. She thinks he had a severe reaction to the flu, but acknowledges that she wasn't present when he had the reaction or what have you (twice), so can't rule out that it's not an allergy. She's going to do some research to see if she can find something suitable to test for a Tamiflu reaction. We will go back in for a scratch test, but it still may not lead to clear answers. She said if he tests negative, she's going to rule out the anaphylaxis and determine the cause was his illness. If he tests positive, it will warrant further testing because it may not be a true allergy. I forgot why the positive could be a false positive.
Thanks for the update. The whole allergy process can be so frustrating. From what you described, it definitely sounded like anaphylaxis. I was so curious about the tamiflu specifically because it's meant to illicit an immune response. This is probably why it could yield a false positive. Scary though when you're not sure if he has an allergy or not. It sounds like your allergist is on top of things. Hopefully it was just a strange one time reaction.

Just finally getting a minute to myself around here to check in. I think J may have caught part of my illness. He's had a stuffy nose for a couple days, and woke up at 3 am with wheezy breathing and a painful sounding cough. He sounded better after being up for a little bit, then sounds bad after his naps. We have an appointment with the Dr tomorrow to check it out. I'm hoping daycare doesn't give me any grief about it though.
mrsdee1982 OMG that is sooo scary. I'm so glad they were able to treat it and things are ok. I can't even imagion the stress and anxiety this would cause. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that.
budders, I'm sorry you're little one is feeling poorly again adn that things at work aren't going smoothly. I teach in a regular class and even then it's really frustrating when people cancel or when supports aren't in place so I can only imagine how much worse it would be. In my experience hiding chocolate in my desk helps (a little anyways and it's much more socially acceptable than hiding booze in the desk lol). Hopefully things settle down for you.

erbear he really likes to pick sucky timing! Cedarpoint sounds awful with a 1yo but you could probably go to the Kalahari(not sure if that's how you spell it) that may be fun with a 1yo. Also if that was me I would have flipped the eff out on him!
With the cough, wheezing and fever I would at least call the doctor and ask. My SIL who is a doctor says teething does not cause fevers.
I respectfully disagree.
ETA - with the teething fevers for those who can't see bolded.
I just text her to clarify and also I asked 3 ER doctors who we had breakfast w this morning (H is friends w a lot of doctors that he snowboards with it comes in really handy when we need any advice!) and they all said teething would never cause a high fever though it could cause a low grade fever.

I've heard really amazing things about the Toledo Zoo as well from friends. But I 100% agree, Toledo is NOT where I want to spend baby's first birthday.
If it's an actual fever, it's not from teething--teething doesn't cause "real" fever (i.e. over 100F or so). There's no medically proven correlation between teething and fevers at all, according to FIL who is a ped, although it's not uncommon to see low grade fevers around the same time.
I wasn't aware that less than 100F didn't constitute a "real fever." To me a fever is a fever - 99F or otherwise. My oldest 2 got numerous fevers of around 100-101F while teething. I don't doubt that there is no proven medical evidence behind it, but IME it does happen.
I don't have an opinion on this one way or another, but a pediatric ER doc also told me that teething doesn't cause a fever. That it's the other way around. If the baby has a fever, it can speed up the process of cutting a tooth. Something about what the body is doing to fight off whatever it's fighting off? I don't know the logistics. It made sense to me at the time, but I honestly don't have a personal opinion on the topic. ETA: LO is actually cutting a top tooth right now! He don't curr. He's so easy.

So baby has this one outfit that every time she has worn it, she has had a blow out in it. I somewhat superstitiously put her in it this morning in hopes she would poop while wearing it. Totally worked. Blow out, outfit change needed. I am sure it was the outfit, and not the prunes, water and apple juice we plied her with...

:-( I'm crying at my desk because I feel so bad for my friend. Baby's still in the NICU. She got discharged Saturday, he was supposed to come home Sunday but is still having trouble regulating his body temperature. So she's driving back and forth to feed and pump, and trying to deal with her older kid who obviously doesn't fully understand what's going on. I just want to hug her and make everything better.
I love the leggings, just still not sure I could pull them off. Maybe just for cozy home wear?
I've mostly felt the same way. I took a risk with this print and I justified it saying, well, it looked like one of my Vera Bradley bags, so I could wear it!
Dilemma- do I start putting the kids to bed at 6:30 so I can watch x-files at 7, or do I let them stay up late watching a movie in the basement while I indulge in my Mulder/Scully obsession??
Tough call. What are the chances that they'll go to bed on time and stay in bed?
