Pretty sure I have or am on my way to bronchitis again. It's definitely at the very least an upper respiratory infection. I'm hoping my Dr will just call in a prescription because we don't have the funds for an office visit and a prescription right now. J has a runny nose this morning, but that might be teething, so I'm trying to get him through until next Tuesday when his 9 month checkup is. H is also sick, apparently.
Ugh I'm so MAD at myself. N is getting tubes put in on Friday. They told us at his consultation he should not have ibuprofen during the week prior to the surgery and I completely forgot. He's been getting it off and on because of his damn teeth. I will be so upset with myself if it gets postponed because I failed to follow procedure. Damn it!!
When was the last time you gave it? I'd call and explain how long it's been. Because tubes are such a quick/easy procedure, I wouldn't be surprised if it's nbd as it's still 3 more days. DD1 had tubes at 18 m, and adenoids removed later. Hopefully you won't have to change it!
Technical title is "Family Case Manager". I work with pregnant women and babies up to 1. We're located in a WIC office so most of our client base is referred from there, and we help clients have healthy pregnancies and provide education on common baby related things that come up in the first year. I go on Home Visits every Wednesday:)

carrots we have a super squirmy flippy baby at changing time too. DH gives him a blue shoe to hold, no others will work. I give him anything that's around, he lives the stuff he's not usually allowed to play with like medicine droppers.
I ended up subbing for a volleyball team last night and didn't get home until 10:30. I'm so tired today and I pulled some type of abdominal and/or uterine muscle and can barely walk today.
LO started standing without holding onto anything yesterday, just for about 5 seconds but doesn't he know he's not even 9 months!?
jillywilly there's a reason why LO hasn't been watched by my mom since she over fed her in December - she'd totally be feeding LO junk food against my wishes. I'm also starving her, apparently, according to mom, but that's a different conversation...
carrots I give her wipes, a lotion bottle, or a small toy and sometimes it works. Mostly I just get used to changing her as she flips over.

carrots Sit on floor, your legs spread out to pin down their arms. I haven't had to do that since DS1, but it works.
jillywilly, TBH, I'm so happy when my parents or IL's watch the kids, I don't ask what they ate, just whether or not they did. Maybe it's the third kid thing, but a teething cookie isn't something I'd give any fucks about. My parent and ILs know to avoid peanuts and how to use an epipen, so I consider that a win. They don't usually give sweets, but T has had far more variety in his diet than I would have provided, thanks to my mother. Try suggesting that they feed LO what you packed before they give any "treats." Or pack an approved "treat" for them to give. If you are a little less uptight about the rules, they probably won't lie. And your LO will love them to pieces.
If this reads bitchy, I apologize. No caffeine yet.

I hope I didn't miss this being shared before, but has anyone else seen this? I can't stop laughing! Also I hope I attached the link correctly... youtu.be/U08XWOx3XYM

Not bitchy at all. I think one of the underlying issues here is my parents constantly accuse me of being too uptight with DS. I really try not to be "that" mom, but these first few months of solids, one of our main things was to keep track of what he's eating, and avoid too many sugary treats until he's a year old (for the record - while out to lunch with my mom over the weekend, I had no problem letting her give DS a taste of her ice cream). It's more the lying and the mentality that they know what's better for my child than I do that's bothering me more than the actual cookie.

@bubbs119 I'm sorry, that sounds awful. DH and I always say that the drs office is the place where they bitch at you for being 5 minutes late but then keep you waiting for an hour.
Who has the secret of how to change a mobile baby's diaper? Will I eventually get good at changing a diaper on my baby while he crawls? Apparently laying on his back for more than half a second is now impossible!
The only solution I've found that distracts her long enough is giving her a baby wipe to play with.
Windy day in Philadelphia today. I woke up feeling all sore - I don't think I moved once while sleeping that's probably why.
We have nothing at the house for breakfast so I've been picking it up every morning. Not good for the bank account or waistline, but so yummy! I've had Starbucks and wawa. Today I'll probably get dunkin.
I need help. Mental help mostly but that's not the kind I need right now. I just got a letter from the apartment manager saying that they charged us a 50 late fee for being 1 day overdue. On the lease it says that it's 5 per day until you've gotten to 10 days then if you still haven't paid they can evict you. Can I do anything about it? I feel like she isn't going to be good about it because we're also giving her a 30 day notice that we're leaving.

Attach a copy of the lease to the check, highlight the fee schedule. They are bound by the same lease.

I live 20 miles from my office, and have to take a rural, one lane, no-passing, highway to get there. Because it's so rural, the speed limit is high, so usually it takes me about 30 minutes to get there.
This morning the fire department was doing a charity collection at the 4-way stop sign on the highway. It backed up traffic for 10 miles, through 2 different cities. Instead of 30 minutes, it took me an hour to get to work. Super annoyed.
Does anyone else have a kid that eats a baby food pouch insanely fast? Is it logical to think he could get an upset belly from it? He has taken well to pouches and it's nice because it lets me do whatever else in the kitchen and help his sister, too. But I kid you not, he just drank an entire 2nd foods pouch (3.5 oz) in 2 minutes, 3 tops. I don't know how to slow him down!! Spoon feeding makes a huge mess and doesn't allow me to do anything else, (most) finger foods make me too nervous still, so pouches it is. But dang! Slow down buddy! Then he wants out of his chair right after so he is back to being super clingy and needy.

Before bed last night. I wanted to read through his pre op paperwork again today and that's when I saw the reminder. I called in and left a message. Someone called me for general question purposes, so I mentioned it to her. She said the same as you; thinks because it's not all that invasive, it shouldn't be an issue, but she has to let the doctor know and make sure it's still ok. I feel like such a crappy mom.
Our girls Basketball team lost today- it was a tough game. Final score was 52-58.
We're really proud of them though. We haven't made it to the final four since 2007. Our best player is a Freshman (I think she had 22 points today), and there are several other strong players that are underclassmen, so the future seasons look bright!
We ordered something through a Disney catalog that we had to write a check for (very archaic). Well, when we got the thing, they included an invoice because I apparently figured out the sales tax wrong. We got an invoice for $0.03. I have to write a check and mail it in for $0.03. The cost of the stamp is going to cost me over 16 times the amount owed. I mean, yes, I do owe them $0.03, but still, this is a tad ridiculous!
jillywilly, SAME thing happened to me on Monday. Sent DS to my in laws with a healthy packed lunch. Picked him up and MIL said "he didn't eat much in his lunch but he did have a jello". Ok, why jello if he didn't eat his lunch? Anyway, as I'm clipping him into the car seat I see he has red around his lips. I asked what it was and DS tells me "a popsicle! It was red, blue and white!". Wonderful. So he didn't eat his lunch but he got a jello AND a rocket popsicle? Pissed me off. But, I didn't say anything. Sort of like wegrowsheep, I'm just glad I have someone to watch him so I just curse her on the inside and smile on the outside!
Helmet appt today, please have some change/growth little noggin. I'm getting frustrated.
We also were supposed to have a playgroup (I thought) but now the FB notice has it listed for older kids. And I even bumped the helmet appt up a bit earlier so we could make it. Boo. Perhaps we will go mall walk or hit up Kohls.
FX for growth! How long has he had it? We are going on 3 months. Do you see a difference?
Since the beginning of December, so we are just starting month four. DH sees more of a difference than I do, maybe since I am always around him. But we had good numbers today! Finally being down to 6 after being stuck at 8-9 forever. How is it going for you?
LO is basically a snot faucet right now but my mom is here to watch him for a couple of days because I had an awesome PD opportunity even though I'm still on mat leave. I feel like a jerk leaving her with my kid who has a rough cold but I feel even worse because she is so much calmer/easy going about it. I'm soooo grateful to have her here and not have to deal with this alone. It's just a cold but his cough sounds rough so it was nice to hear that I'm doing the right thing with not worrying more or taking him to the doctor.

It's so awesome to have your Mom around! Whenever LO is doing something that I question, I always ask my Mom because I'm one of four kids. It definitely eases my worrying and makes me feel better when she tells me I'm doing a great job. Which may sound weird because I'm almost 29, but it does!
I'm not sure if this is the right spot to put this, but is anyone else's LO nodding their head? Like up and down (yes)? DD does it mostly when I have music playing (we are constantly jamming out to Kids Bop on Spotify) and other times for no reason at all. I'm not sure if it's just a new developmental skill or something I should be concerned about.
