My poor snotty baby is still feeling sorry for herself. I don't really blame her. She's never been this snotty before and colds always feel horrible. I really wish the nose frida didn't cause 45 minutes of hysterical crying. She ends up full of snot again from crying, so there's no point at all.
We're going to playgroup despite the snot situation, because we both need to get out. I know the other mums and there isn't anyone who's scared of a runny nose.

purple my Pediatrian okayed us to use Zyrtec when A had a cold. I only use it when the runny nose/snot situation is bad but it really helps to dry things up. We're in the same boat with the Nose Frida, he hates it now.
It's Mothering Sunday, otherwise known as Mothers' Day, this Sunday. This post is for those who like cultural differences!
Mothering Sunday is the fourth Sunday in Lent and traditionally it was the day when people were allowed time off to go to their "Mother church", which was the church closest to where they grew up. For many people, this was one of the few opportunities they would have to see their mothers, so it became a day to celebrate mothers, too. These days, most churches will do something - mine usually gives posies to all women, not just mothers - but it's also a big secular celebration.

Thank you! I've just Googled Zyrtec. The equivalent is not licensed for under twelves in the UK, unfortunately :-( However, I will go to the pharmacist later and see if they can recommend anything. (Pharmacists over here are licensed to prescribe certain medecines for under twos under a system called "minor ailments". It's because babies and toddlers are prone to all sorts of illnesses and saves having to go to the doctor. Obviously, there are limits and they're very good about sending you to the doctor if they think it's serious.)

Sorry she's not feeling well still, purple. J seems to have a cold now as well, but I'm not getting anything out with the nose frida. We've already tried saline and sitting in the shower, and he has a humidifier and vicks vaporizer in his bedroom running. I just finally got him back to sleep after 2 hours nonstop screaming. I'm sure my neighbors hate us right now, oh well.

Oh dear, that sounds miserable :-( I really hope you manage to get some sleep! L has been sleeping in our bed - it's the only way for all of us to get some sleep. Last night, several times, she woke up and screamed. She didn't want to be held or even touched, just screamed for a couple of minutes and then went back to sleep.
purple sorry for your snotty baby. I hope L feels better soon. And happy early Mothering Sunday! heartofglass Those are sooooooooooo cute! musicfrk2002 I hope J feels better. Joolschweets Love the diaper cake! I hope all goes well at the shower! You're such a nice friend. I'm sure it means a lot to her. billyhorrible Happy dating anniversary! @hazeldublin Is it odd to have snow at this time of year for you? I woke up to snow too, but only a dusting. It's pretty much stopped.
I survived PTC and no one yelled at me! (Unless they went and complained after. ) All of the parents understood where the grades were coming from & were very receptive. I always have anxiety over this. One year when I was coteaching, my coteacher & I got reamed out because a student was not making enough progress in the eyes of the mother. Two hours later we were still shaking. Neither of us like confrontation. & honestly it wasn't us. /tangent

Not much here. 6:45, sipping on alka-seltzer before my coffee. LO slept in 30 minute segments all night, of which I managed to fall asleep during only 2 of them, and both times I dreamt of her waking up and freaky things happening. We're going to all ages Play Make and Learn at the library with her cousin at 10AM so I'm really hoping for an early morning nap.
I'm waiting for DD to wake up. Her fever spiked to 103.2 yesterday and we've been alternating Motrin and Tylenol. The pediatricians office said they don't really worry about the number, but I do. She's got a runny nose and was just miserable all day. And to top it off, I woke her up at 10 pm to give her a dose of Motrin thinking that she would just fall right back to sleep and she was up for 1.5 hrs. I didn't wake her the rest of the night. She feels a little cooler, but I'll take her temp when she wakes up! Hoping for a much better day today!
DD is definitely sick so I made her an appt for 9am....she woke up approx. 62 times and was fully awake from 1-3am. So so thankful that I'm off on Fridays. FX the dr can give us something to help her feel better!
Happy anniversary billyhorrible! I love that you still recognize your dating anniversary, DH and I do too:) granted we're only on year 6;)
I hope the snot clears up soon purple Those pants are adorable heartofglass Happy Anniversary billyhorrible. Enjoy dinner tonight! Widget123 your kiddos look so stinkin' cute in their Dr.Seuss gear! The diaper cake looks awesome Joolschweets mgrandy I hope her fever has gone down some this morning. It's always scary when they're that high. mrsmonogrammed I hope C feels better soon.
Morning ladies!! C thought 4 am was a wonderful time to wake up for the day. That was after he woke up whimpering at 1:30- he put himself to sleep right away but it took me another hour to fall asleep. Today includes lots of coffee, some cleaning (we have company coming tomorrow and our house it not ready at all!) and a visit with the accountant. First, little man needs a nap!
musicfrk2002 sorry your LO is sick too! I wouldnt even worry about the neighbours. It is what it is! I never asked how is J doing with the umbilical hernia? Did you go back to the drs?
We did, the Dr said it's not getting any bigger. Basically, since we can push it back into him and he's not in any pain, it's nothing to worry about. So.e days it's quite a bit smaller, but it's pretty big this morning from all the screaming he was doing last night.
purple @muscfrk2002 mgrandymrsmonogrammed I hope your sick LO feel better soon. B is still congested and snotty too. Baby cold sucks! Happy Anniversary billyhorrible Widget123 Your kids are so cute! Great outfits! Joolschweets That is so nice of you to throw your friend a shower. I hope she is able to relax. @wwprestige A spa day sounds great. I hope you're feeling better by tomorrow. sabrinaml I hope C has a nice nap for you and you can get your cleaning done. I'm sorry if I missed anyone. Woke up to lots of snow blown into our yard, I don't know if I will be able to get the car our without getting stuck. The highways are supposed to be complete shit too. I hope they are better by this afternoon and I can get out of my yard. Cabin fever sets in when I can't get out even if I have no where to go. Tomorrow we have a city trip for haircuts and some shopping. Maybe I can find something nice for myself!

Happy Friday. After being up at 4:15 and 5:15 to change dirty diapers, H got up with him instead and let me sleep til 7. Yes I'm running a bit late to work but I feel so much better.
Hope that purple and everyone with sick LOs feel better soon.
Wishing all of your sick babes to be better. Happy dating-iversary, billyhorrible!!! We usually just say something to each other about ours. Our past wedding anniversary finally took us to married longer than we dated.
We had a bit of snow overnight and I had been hoping for a delay because it would mean I wouldn't have to work at all today since I only work a half day. But here I am, sitting at my desk pretending to grade papers. To be fair, I've graded 11 and only have about 150 to go. Whoops. I refuse to take paperwork home this year so I really should get on that.
Hope all the sick babies get well soon. Joolschweets that nappy cake looks great, did you make it? If so how? I think what your doing for your friend is lovely.
I woke up to snow today, like literally white everywhere. 3 hours later is all gone, literally washed away by the rain. I'm making a chicken and mushroom pie for dinner today with store bought puff pastry. I actually feel like making it right now and eating it.
Hope all of the sick babies feel better!!!
We woke up to snow today too on the east coast!! But nothing to make the schools closed or anything like that. Can you post the recipe for the Chicken and Mushroom pie?? That sounds yummy and like a good meal for a lazy weekend in!!
I have a busy day at work but once 4:30 h its I am free until Monday and I am looking forward to not having any plans all weekend and just staying in and relaxing!
LO is a little congested again. It comes and goes, so I don't think I need to take her to the pediatrician. She's already fallen once and got herself another big bruise on her forehead.
I wish it would snow here. We bought a bunch of snow toys for 70% off at Target last week and I am going to be so disappointed if I have to wait an entire year to use them!
We were up at 3am last night, DD1 had explosive diarrhea - it went all over her sheets, pillow, PJ's, blankets. Yuck! Hoping it was a one time thing and that I don't have to deal with that all day today.
H leaves for Switzerland on Sunday and is gone until Friday. I will be alone with the monsters all week. I need to restock my wine.
We went to to Target after a monster snow last week hoping to get a sled to pull DS around in. We could find oodles and oodles of pool/outside toys, but no sleds. Because so many people get into the pool in Michigan in February. Also - hope you get through the week ok! Stocking up on wine sounds like a solid plan
Morning! Hope all the sick babies and moms feel better soon! DS is out like a light for his first nap, which means I finally get to catch up on everything - mostly my coffee. He normally doesn't like eating immediately when he wakes up, but will wind up eating a bottle (or at least most of it) before his first nap - today he had about two ounces and then refused any more, even right before his nap, which is normally his tank-up time. I'm hoping that he was just tired and didn't feel like eating since he passed out immediately and starts catching up on eating later. Anyone else's kid not really a big morning eater? I feel like he's going to be the kid I need to force feed breakfast before school when he's older. Also - mommy brag - he took his first official cruising "steps" today on his own holding onto his toy chest! And he's pulled himself to stand a few more times on his own! I'm really beginning to think that he might pass on the crawling thing and just be walking in a couple more months. I texted DH some pics of the whole progression, and his response was "there goes the neighborhood" - probably pretty accurate!
