Hiya it's Wednesday

[aggiebug]

I think. At least that's what my husband tells me. Are we sure it isn't Thursday?

DD is now mimicking me when I cough and sneeze which is hilarious. And I still need caffeine so that's all I got right now.

[dreemkin]

Uuugh, aggiebug beat me to it before my phone refreshed so visit "It's Wednesday" for a GIF Party (can't figure out how to change the title).

[dreemkin]

Had another mall day yesterday since it's reverted back to Winter here. Annie walked a few steps at the mall play area but I try to keep her wrangled there bc she can get trampled by the walking/running, big kids. Tuesdays are free train ride days too! It made my day lol (yes, this is my life now). I then convinced my H to go to sweet tomatoes for dinner. The girls love it too. After that we went to our furniture store to measure the bed we have being made, for mattress height preference.

Laundry/chill day today.

[aggiebug]

Lol I hate it when that happens.

[aggiebug]

We are leaving the house today which means I have to dig her sweatshirt out of the too small/ we are done pile. Because I decided we were all through the sweater weather a few weeks back oops.

[dmorgendorffer]

We haven't had a night like last night in a while... it was not good. DD still doesn't have a fever but the rash that started yesterday has spread and she was very restless and uncomfortable all night. I even tried bringing her to bed with me and she just kept flopping around and clapping her hands. We sent her to daycare but not sure how long she'll last there before we get a call from the nurse.

DH borrowed my train pass yesterday to go to the baseball game and I forgot to get it back before he left for work. Then when I called him to ask if it was at the house (it was not) he realized his laptop for work is at the house... not a great start to the day for either of us.

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin steps out in public wow! That's awesome!
dmorgendorffer sorry for the series of unfortunate events.

[lilyelayne]

Not great sleep last night but better than the night before so I'll take it. I think part of the problem with his first & only extended wake up was he was probably awake a while & therefore extra upset. DH & I had some adult time before bed and we were both sleeping extra hard.

Today is for laundry & packing. I cleaned out my car yesterday so I washed & vacuumed it for the first time in way too long. It looks sooo nice now! 2 days til the beach \o/

[kaydee0402]

It was 28 degrees this morning. there was frost on my car and yard. I can't deal. No wonder DS has an ear infection!

[dmorgendorffer]

kaydee0402 hope DS is feeling better soon.

Between all the illnesses and molars 13-14 months seems like it has been an especially rough age for F15!

I can't even process the temperature you said.

[tortor4]

dmorgendorffer oh man sorry for the rough morning. I hope your day gets better.

DD thankfully slept better last night.

She also just threw a rice snack across the room and when I said "no no no that was naughty" and shook my finger at her, she shook her little finger right back at me. I could not help but laugh lol.

[lilyelayne]

Does anyone have a swim shoe they love for their littles? Bonus points if on Amazon prime. I think his little pitterpats will be fine for the beach but maybe something with a slightly thicker sole & that will hold less water would be better.

All I can think of is a sandal/flip-flop or a croc/clog but do they even make the later that small??

I dunno. And I doubt a clog is crawling friendly. I'm considering these two:

So H and I have been a little sloppy in the birth control department. I actually forgot to take my pill one day this month. Now it's on both of our minds that I could be pg. I'm probably not but for the last couple days when it's been a while since I haven't eaten, I don't just get hungry like usual, I get shakey and nauseous. It could just be hormones from AF coming but now I'm starting to wonder...
H definitely would freak out bc he's firmly 2 and through (like I've talked about before). And I am sad but accepted that fact. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Three days left of my bcp

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne I'm sorry; I forgot he's mostly crawling. Do you really need a shoe then? Unless he's been walking, like where he's gonna take off down the beach, I personally would go shoeless and save the $$.

Both look pretty good but I would personally go with the first. I think it will be better at keeping shells and anything but sand out of the shoe. No personal recommendations though we are skipping those this year since we have no beach trip planned.

[aggiebug]

dreemkin I hope you get answers soon and no matter what the answer both you and your H can be at peace with it.

[aggiebug]

My child has a new fascination with headbands. She keeps asking me to put one in her hair and will pat it and smile. I am shocked she is leaving it alone! Maybe there is hope for cute hairdos

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin that's a hard situation for you & your H. Hoping the next week or so speeds by and, like aggiebug said, you both find peace with whatever the case may be.

Re: swim shoes, we're going to the beach a minimum of two times this summer, plus a cruise, and our local park has a lake with a sand beach. While DS still isn't walking unassisted he has taken unassisted steps & his current favorite game is walking around the house holding onto me with only one hand (sometimes only one finger) so before the summer is through I bet he's walking full time. Please don't make me eat those words, kiddo!

That sounds so adorable.

[dmorgendorffer]

Well DH took DD to the dr this afternoon and she does have HFM. He is home with her right now and it sounds like they are both miserable.

[kaydee0402]

dmorgendorffer, ugh! My DS has had HFM and I can honestly say it's the worst thing he's had thus far. Other than RSV. Make sure DD gets plenty of fluids and hang in there mama!

poor kiddo and poor parents.  I am sorry.  

[dreemkin]

I'm sorry dmorgendorffer

lilyelayne ah, gotcha. Since I don't have a recommendation, I too like the first ones. Looks more protective and like they'd dry out faster.

[tortor4]

lilyelayne no recommendations either but I know they do make teeny tiny baby crocs if you wanted to go in that direction. Also, another vote for the first pair. Mostly based on price but also what Aggie said that it looks like they'll keep a lot out.

dreemkin hoping the next couple days go quick for you.

Oh no. Hope she doesn't get too bad blisters in her mouth. And hope neither you nor your H catch it!

It's not fun. Hoping it's short in duration. Cold foods help. Like banana "ice cream" (frozen banana with milk or coconut milk in the blender). Neither H or I caught it from DS, and most people get it as a baby.

H had to pick up DS from daycare this morning for a high fever. Ibuprofen dropped it in time for them to see the dr, but then came back up. Possibly viral bronchitis, but hard to say. The dr thought it was a good sign were all miserably sick. We'll give daycare another shot tomorrow since he's perked up. If H can get away from work, he'll hopefully take DS home early. I'm taking Friday afternoon off to spend with DS.

[dmorgendorffer]

Thank you all for the well wishes for DD.

She was really unhappy when I got home, but we got her to eat some yogurt and bread for dinner. She pooped and totally seemed like she felt fine after that. Running all over playing. We'll see how the night goes.
