Yep. Did this all week. Still finding random tiny crap stuffed into bags, cabinets and corners. I swear I found a few bucks in change that she was hoarding, smart girl
Eta to add example of this mornings finds as i went through her play kitchen
Fun fact: my cat had 21 hair ties surgically removed from his belly.
No, our pediatrician hasn't mentioned tubes and I haven't brought it up yet. I will be scared to death if they say he needs them. They put him on a different antibiotic this time around and I'm crossing my fingers that he doesn't get another one since he's out of daycare now. And yes, it's crazy what a difference it makes when he's well!
What antibiotics has he tried? They usually do amoxicillin first, but it seems like that's never enough for most babies. So hopefully whatever he gets this time works fast. But even so, you don't want them to keep happening and keep giving antibiotics over and over. But 100% go with your pediatrician. If they haven't mentioned it there is a reason. Since I've started telling people N needs them, I swear I have found out a new person that has had them every day. From babies now to my in laws saying they had them as kids. It's crazy how common it is. Have also heard from every single one how shockingly fast the surgery is. Only 10 minutes. But I know it will be so crazy hard to physically hand N over to the doctor/nurse. Don't even like to think about it. I'm hoping his surgery is very very early because of the whole nothing to eat ordeal. That little boy wakes at least once at night to eat and then again in the morning followed by solids for breakfast and snacks. If it's after noon, I don't know how I'll do it!!!
He's taking Cefdinir now. This last double ear infection was so close to the last that they think the Amoxicillin didn't fully take care of the last one. If this one doesn't knock it out then I will be bringing tubes up at our next appointment. He's already been on more antibiotics in the past few months than I want him taking and it wreaks havoc on his little tummy.
Good luck to your LO! I'm sure everything will go well and fingers crossed for an early appointment. Not sure if this is true but I had a coworker tell me that when her son had to have surgery she was able to nurse him up to an hour before. This was years ago though, so I'm sure things have changed. And yes, I've talked to many parents who have been in this situation and they say tubes were the answer and you barely sit down in the waiting room before they call you back in.

Drowning in medical bills over here. I don't even know what to do anymore. We're spending more than we make every month since I'm currently part time and only bringing in 2/3 of what I was making.
Our station at work is having an internal audit next wednesday. So now there's a shit ton of catching up on files and stuff that has to be done. My manager already asked me to stay late tonight, after I stayed an hour last night. At least this should help the paychecks a little bit.
Spent an hour on the phone between fedex and walmart regarding the missing box of pacifiers. Good grief. This would've all been settled if the driver wasn't a dumbass and didn't leave a 1 pound box outside in 30+ mph winds.
mrsmonogrammed Yeah I actually would like to have it at home but we need to landscape. We were in a drought when we bought our house so we couldn't put in new lawn. We're still in a drought but could probably do it this spring since we've been getting rain, but H doesn't want to yet.
RE: MONT feedings. Yep, she still nurses like 3 times at night. I've accepted that I probably won't get my period back for a while. Totally fine for now but I want it back after she turns 1!
just looks and they are definitely "snug fit". My biggest concern is that I now have to actually go to the store to return them. This is not a safe place for me to ever be.
I took advantage of their Presidents' Day sale (so many cute spring things!!!) and now my H will not let me w/in a 100ft radius of a carters or osh'kosh, lol
I was just at Carters during lunch because DH wanted me to buy LO smaller shoes to start wearing to daycare (the only ones I bought him were too big and were more for a photo prop). Lately I have been trying to stay at the clearance racks and ignore the rest of the store.

Anyone wish babies had timers to tell you how long they're going to nap? Ds has been down for an hour, and I've got no clue if I have another 5 minutes or hour. Debating whether I should try to get some actual work done or just keep playing around on my phone.

Me too! It's when I bought the PJs, actually. Jokes on me though because they're actually cheaper now than they were at 50% off. Their sales are a scam.
I did it when they had 50% off of everything and 25% off of $50+, hence why my DH won't let me near their "sales" anymore...I use the higher spending limit as an excuse to buy more crap;)

You have stronger willpower than I. I don't even want to think about shoes- DD has the tiniest freaking feet so I hope we can find something that fits her:(
musicfrk2002, I have huge deductibles and my insurance doesn't cover crap. Therefore I am thousands in medical debt from the births of both my boys. I don't know how much debt you have but regardless, call the hospital and tell them you're struggling. My hospital hooked me up with a company they work directly with and I got on a payment plan. The plan I got on was no interest if I paid off within a year of signing on, but you don't have to do that, you can stretch it out and make the payments as low as you like. At any time if I feel like I can't afford payment that month or have to lower it, I can. You should give your hospital a call and see if they offer anything like that.
E's first tooth cut through overnight. She woke up at 4:30 fussy with a face full of snot.
I changed her diaper, the cuddled with her for awhile in the recliner and while we were sitting there I let her gnaw on my finger which is when I first felt it. Then I noticed how warm she was and she had a slight fever so I gave her tylenol.
I don't know if I'm ready for her sweet gummy grin to be gone! J didn't get her first tooth until she was 15 months old... and although I know this is more than normal, if not still considered a bit late, I love toothless baby smiles!

I've been thinking about you recently but couldn't call you out for an update because I forgot the numbers in your name. How is E doing overall? Have things settled down since your month of plague when everyone was sick? How is work?
I'm sorry, musicfrk2002. Money issues are my #1 cause of anxiety and medical debt is the worst to me because you're just trying to live a good quality of life. I'm still paying for an ultrasound of LO from last year and I just got a notice that a bill from LO (that we paid) was sent to collections - so now I have to fight to get that off of my credit report, too. Ugh.

I had an unpaid bill from my epidural floating around that went to collections. It was so weird, I didn't understand why it was a separate charge from the entire hospital bill? But anyway, I kept forgetting about it, it went to collections and I paid it right away. They said since I paid it early enough, it wouldn't hit my credit report? So if you can afford the payment now, pay it quick and then you might be able to avoid that?
The thing is veggiemo and madymoiselle, we paid all of our hospital related bills. This one was from the hospital for LO, but all of our hospital bills for her were sent to my H since he's the subscriber for insurance. It makes no sense and I really need to call and fight it. H and I can find a payment for the same amount (minus 80 cents) made in August, and I don't know why we would get two bills with identical totals, you know?
sugarkissedmadymoiselle oh I know you can get pregnant before a postpartum period, but the chances are low. We aren't trying yet, probably after G's first birthday.

I get that it is a personal thing, and people may not want to share, but then you just don't have to answer, it's not like we would be hunting people down for their answers!
So I just got a wrong number text that said. "Hey talk to me let it all out." So I responded by saying ' I just can't even." To which they said "Why did he get mad that you couldn't text?" So I told them "because he's a douche canoe." And they said "I know you love him but this isn't healthy."

On the topic, I don't think I ever remembered to let y'all know that I got my period last week after the Plan B incident. Yea! Cause I know everyone was just dying to know lol

I'm trying to decide how far this will go on.
Take it all the way and report back.
I'm trying to decide if taking a picture of an old pg test (FFTHC? I still have them.) and sending it would go too far.
