I'm starving this morning. I need to go food shopping ASAP. DH and I have had takeout for the last week. We have bare shelves in the fridge. It amazes me how this happens. At my parents there was never even close to an empty shelf. Am I the only one that has bachelor pad fridge shelves? ( and yes there is beer )
stinybean no you're not the only one. I've got to go shopping too, we've been eating pb sandwiches for lunch and boiled eggs. And yes, there is cider and beer in the fridge
Running errands today and finally going to get A some 12-18 month clothes at Once Upon a Child.
Good morning ladies! budders, can you call and ask one of the nurses? If they're not sure, is bring him in based off how long he's had it. Not much today. Some work from home and house work. Happy Anniversary erbear.
Morning! Ever have one of those weeks where you can't really put your finger on anything specifically bad or negative that's happening, but things just don't seem to be going your way? That's where I'm at. I think a combo of worse sleep and the weather just has me feeling down in general, and some house stuff is causing a lot of anxiety at the moment. I think the house stuff should resolve itself this week, and the weather is supposed to start getting better next week, so hopefully things start looking sunnier soon, but I'm going to try to focus more on the positive. My coffee is delicious, my work week is halfway over, and today is DS' last day in Infant A - he's growing up!
Today can kiss my tush. Go home Wednesday, you suck.
I'm so emotional, tired, and just frustrated. T has refused to nurse or take a bottle for the last 12 hours. I don't know what is wrong. She's just pushing bottles away or biting me when she tries to latch so I'll take it away. She's had one wet diaper since 6:00 last night. She was dry before bed, and was barely wet at 4:30 when she woke up inconsolable. Do I need to call the doctor?? What do I do?

Morning morning! stinybean,I have the opposite problem - my fridge is always overflowing. I blame the fridge though, it's obviously too small. Couldn't possibly be the fact that I am terrible at throwing things out.

gilder40, if you can, I would strip her down and do some skin to skin, just laying with her (does she cuddle? The thought of laying quietly with BH is a joke). I'd also see if she'll take some milk from a cup. Is she acting okay otherwise? I'd be concerned about an ear infection or teething - both of which make it painful to suck.

We don't run out of everything, just the stuff we actually eat. So our fridge will look relatively full but we have no milk, bread, sandwich meat, etc. that's the worst!

Happy Anniversary erbear! jillywilly I can commiserate. I think the weather and terrible nights have started taking its toll here as well. It really just needs to warm up already! I still need to spend my splurge club money before the 30th. I've been on a big spring purge kick around here lately so I'm having a hard time deciding what to get. This is very weird for me because I'm usually a shopaholic who could spend it ten times over in an hour. We need a spring/summer fashion thread!

I'm sorry. DS has had bouts of not wanting to eat lately when he's not feeling well, and it's stressful. Will she take solids? With DS, I found giving him some puffs or Cheerios would sometimes spur him to want to eat a little more, or at least drink something to ease dehydration worries. Also, we did wind up taking him to the doctor because H was worried he was dehydrated, and the doctor said it typically takes longer than you think for that to happen. When she's crying is she producing tears? Is her mouth/gums wet? Personally I always procrastinate calling the doctor, so I'd probably wait out at least the morning, but if it gives you peace of mind, a phone call never hurts. In the meantime, just keep offering food/drink in regular intervals and try to stay as calm/soothing as possible. She'll eventually eat/drink. Hugs, momma, hope this passes quickly!
I just submitted my grades for third term! Fourth term doesn't start until next Tuesday but I'm already teaching that material. And there are only 50 days of school left...not that I'm counting or anything.
I just checked the weather for Saturday to see what we'll be dealing with while we move my mom. High of 40 and possible snow...the average high at this time of year is 60-65. So that will be....chilly? Guess I'll wear gloves. I kind of refuse to wear coats once it's April. I haven't worn one this week and it's around freezing when I get to work every day. I'm responsible.
gilder40, I would take her to the doctor. That's what they're there for! I've been told several times that it's never a waste of time to take a baby to the doctor because they're so vulnerable.
budders, I would be inclined to go back to the doctor since it's been so long. On the other hand, when L had a cough that sounded very chesty for six weeks, her doctor pointed out that babies can't blow their noses or clear their throats, so a cough might sound awful but actually not be cause for concern.
I think this is the first time I've posted in Randoms all week. There are so many other threads - which is great :-) - that I can't keep up. It's being a long week, but with lots of good stuff in it. And ny mum will be here in about half an hour for my hour off - first time this week!
ETA: Kristykristyleelee, of course you feel awful, but it really does sound as if it was a one off because you are so busy at the moment. I'm sure your dog is fine and has probably forgotten it already.
We offered T both water and milk in bottles and cups. She wanted nothing to do with it. I'm going to see how she does at the sitter's this morning, and if she continues to refuse, I'm going to call.
erbear , Happy Anniversary! What kind of cake do you have at home??
stinybean , towards the end of the week, all we have is beer and condiments in our fridge,
gilder40 , I would call the pedi. I'm always working under the "call and make sure" motto.
Happy Wednesday Ladies!
Snow is melting and a bit warmer today! Errands are on the docket. anyone else in their 30s still get get pimples? Ugh- I'm blaming hormones for the blemish on my chin right now. Ahhh!

Kristykristyleelee, Awe poor puppy. But he will be TOTALLY fine! It's funny because we have an indoor/outdoor cat and I told DH to kick her out last night because she was being annoying. He was like "it's snowing..." and I was like "and???".. Clearly he hasn't been woken up by her in the middle of the night as often as I have. No sympathy here! (for the record I do keep her in when it's really cold)
Also H always forgets to lock the door behind him at night. Now I obsessively check them. I don't give a shit about being robbed when no one is home, but an intruder when we're home is one of my worst fears.
Happy anniversary erbear! @glider40, sorry T doesn't feel good. I'd call the nurses line and see if they recommend anything in addition to what you've already tried. Good luck, I hope she starts feeling better.
Add me to club that this weather needs to start warming up. I too refuse to wear a winter coat any longer now that it's April, but mornings have been low 30s.
Not a lot going on here, I need to call and reschedule my first doc appointment for tomorrow; my boss scheduled a large meeting that I can't miss out on. If this were my my first pregnancy I'd be very impatient and already counting down the days and minutes till my appointment. This time around I already feel so much more relaxed about everything. Such a good feeling to not worry about every tiny baby related thing! Happy Wednesday ladies!
I'm ready for today to be over and it's only 8:30. It is freezing rain out right now and I have tons of running around to do. Swim class tonight and then a farm meeting. I hope B sleeps tonight.
gilder40, do you have any oral syringes lying around? If so, can you fill up one with some pedialite, breastmilk/formula, or water and try and get some fluid in her that way? Worth a shot. If she's teething or has an ear infection, she may not want to suck anything because it hurts. But an oral syringe might be ok. If she doesn't start getting some liquid within the next hour or so, I would call.
DD1 is currently eating cereal and milk and mixing it up and making a huge mess. Milk, everywhere. I asked her to stop, and she said "I'm making mama supper." Haha.
Inlaws were in China during Easter so they've decided to reschedule the celebration to this weekend. We've already celebrated (twice!) and this is our anniversary weekend so we said that we already have plans. Now they are upset. (Even though we ALWAYS go away for our anniversary.)
I feel a bit guilty because I know that they haven't seen the kids in a month, but I've got a weekend in the mountains complete with massage and nice meals to look forward to, so whatever. Don't spend Easter on vacation if you're that upset about missing out.
Kristykristyleelee your pup probably had a party outside last night and got to know the neighborhood animals since he's new! They worst part about it is how you guys feel. Also what kind of dog to you have?(I'm just obsessed with dogs)
We are going to the Science Center today. Just waiting for SO to get out of the chiro.
