Today's agenda is lots of time outside and dinner at my moms. I should probably run into work and bring home my to do folder. And I just remembered DH wants to talk to him mom about how they bill certain customers. C and I played outside yesterday from 4-6:30 and he loved every minute of it! (I was hoping it would mean he'd sleep better, but I was wrong) C's vampie teeth are finally trying to break through (we noticed them coming in 5 weeks ago) I can see the blisters.

I just went through all the announcements. I'm missing my little tiny baby! I can't believe how fast they are all growing! We have play group today! It's my first one, I'm pretty excited. We also have swim class. Then SO is going to the Pirates game so I'll be home alone with LO tonight ? I always get so nervous about being alone at night.
I was looking at the first page of this thread and I'm like "holy crap I missed so much yesterday!". But then I realize I'm accidently in May 15 instead of June 15. No wonder it was all brand new thread titles!
As for me, my neck is killing me it can't heal because I can't not life the baby (pulled neck muscle). I can't even drive because I can't do a proper shoulder check. Hopefully it goes away soon.
I hope it gets better soon, I been in the same position but mine was solved by the chiropractor. He's always told me to use ice and an anti-inflammatory.

It's my day off so hoping to not do much besides spend time with A today. The weather is supposed to be beautiful so I can get him outside. I hope this molar comes through finally so he can get some relief, which reminds me I need to do his fluoride varnish since I waived it at the pediatricians.

I just saw that target now carries Tula carriers....there's a really pretty floral want I love but I don't actually need. Currently trying to decide how much DH would want to kill me if I bought it anyway;)
Morning! DS' eyes where bright white this morning, so he's in day care, and mom's hopefully getting in a full day of work. I'm dreading today, we had a bunch of people out over the last week or so, so today is our first production meeting in a week and a half, and I'm assuming 0 things got built/accomplished/ready to ship. So that's going to be fun. I really just want to get through today and tomorrow, this weekend is supposed to be so nice, and I just want to play outside!

I was just about to post this! I'm debating between these 2.
My DH will probably shoot me but I might have my mom get it (and use her target card to get 5% back) and then just not pay me for her phone bill for 2 months. Eta: thoughts on what one I should pick?! Vintage cars or arrows?

I love the cars! But arrows are good if you plan on more kids since they're cute for boys and girls:)

I was thinking cars for C and when #2 happens it gives me a reason to get a second one if its a girl. Just waiting to hear back from my mom. (This way it doesn't show up in our credit card bill)
Good morning! Sunny gorgeous day today. Drinking coffee and catching up on here since I went to bed early lastnight. PT later this morning and then we have a drug rep bringing us sushi! Pretty good Wednesday here.
Good morning! W has thrown up while eating once a day for the past 3 days. He acts fine and eats normally and then will eat 2 bites of a meal (Monday and Tuesday it was afternoon snack) and then throws up what he ate for lunch. Somehow daycare hasn't sent him home for it thank goodness but it's a little concerning. I started sending 1 bottle of formula a couple weeks ago and bumped him up to 2 this week. We also finished a can of formula Saturday and started a new one Sunday (same brand though) so I'm wondering if that court have anything to do with it? Anybody else experienced anything similar or had any trouble adding formula to their baby's diet?
I've noticed DS will throw up a little (almost more like spit up though) when he's really congested. Doesn't bother him a bit. We did also have some difficulty with the transition from breast milk to formula though - even though he had been supplemented with formula pretty much from the get go, when I stopped pumping, I remember noting he started spitting up again (this was around 6-ish months, and solids were not a big part of his diet at all at that point). I think it passed after a week or two when he adjusted to the change. I probably would keep an eye on it, but not be too concerned at this point since it sounds like you're just starting to give him formula, and it's not bothering him.

I almost bought that print the other day. I want it SOOO bad, but really don't need another carrier. I'm pretty sure Target is on a mission to drain my bank account in general.
sabrinaml, I love the gray arrows! It's finally nice out today! Yesterday was in the low 40's and snowing because the weather has been that stupid lately. Are the Tula carriers in stores or online only? I don't need another carrier but I might still peek at them.

Remember me talking about there was a student that was convinced my husband was part of a stalker/serial killer network on campus? Well the county health department has gotten involved and involuntarily committed her. So I am glad there is some action being taken and hopefully she gets the help she needs.
sabrinaml , I vote vintage cars! I have been really indulging on the very boyish stuff with my LO. Anything cars, trucks, construction equipment, trains, etc. I want to buy.
I just called to book DD's and DS's 1 and 3 year old checkups with my doctor, since I usually have to book well in advance with her.
It was like a 10 minute conversation of first having to explain its not me that needs the appointment, followed by her continually asking about Lan (Not his name as most of you know lol) and why they need to come in (just regular checkups and immunizations for her)
By the end she finished with 'Suzanne and Lan are booked at this time on this date (which were also different time and dates from what we were saying) so I corrected both kids names again and also reconfirmed when it would be.
Oy! They usually have such a good staff working reception there. Hopefully she was just having an off day.
All the carrier talk is making me a bit sad that L won't let me carry her. It has to be Daddy.
H is back at work tomorrow. It's been so great to have another grown up around as symptoms start to kick in! At least it's only two days till the weekend, and the following weekend we're going away with my parents so H has Friday and Monday off, so two more short weeks.
L is such a Daddy's girl I'm afraid she'll really miss him. That's the reality of life, I'm afraid!
I'm at McDonals with DS1 (who was dying this morning but now is miraculously just fine) and P. There is a mom with a one week old squish here. I'm seriously about to burst into tears over how fast this year has gone.
We're supposed to have gorgeous weather today too. Hoping to get outside with V and Budders after work.
My big struggle today is with BC. I am due for my next Depo shot soon and I don't really want to get it. I know that it's a big piece of why I gained and have struggled losing weight postpartum. Unfortunately, I'm still BFing and have to be on hormonal BC to suppress my endometriosis, so my options are limited.
In reading about the regular BC pill though, it seems like the issue is milk production. Is it harmful to the baby, or just a threat to my supply? Because I might be okay with gambling on the latter.
I'm assuming you mean the mini pill, because I was under the impression that you couldn't take regular BC while breastfeeding because the estrogen was transferred through your breastmilk. Anyway no experience but all I've heard is that it can tank your supply but the progesterone isn't transferred so it's safe for baby.

I'm know a smidge above next-to-nothing about hormonal/nonhormonal birth control, but what about an IUD like Mirena? I have friends that have been on that and breastfed, and I know it's not completely non-hormonal. I don't know if it has the right hormones to suppress your endometriosis.

Hello ladies!
I've got a WWYD type of situation on my hands:
Backstory : 2 weeks before Thanksgiving my next cube neighbor literally died at his desk. I heard him cough, I heard him gurgle, I heard him hit the ground. I went into his cube to check on him and found him unresponsive, blue lips, the works. I called for help, shook him hard and was just about to start CPR when he opened his eyes. When he got to the ER they drew blood and eventually told him they found an enzyme in his blood that your body only produces when you die. So, he was literally dead for about a full minute. Come to find out he had a virus that had attacked his heart and his heart was only functioning at 7-10%.
Anyways, after months of treatment and rehab, he is better and back at work. One problem he has though is that one of his medications that he has to take makes his feet and ankles swell. So, usually after an hour or two at his desk, he takes his shoes off. Here is my problem.
His feet stink. They smell so bad. Now, I'm obviously not going to ask the guy to put his shoes back on, he obviously needs to take them off and he's not just doing it out of comfort. But what do I do? We're not supposed to keep things like air fresheners or anything like that at our desks because it could bother the other employees. Do you think if I put an open box of baking soda on the floor, next to the wall we share, would that work to absorb the odor?
I really need a solution because it turns my stomach to smell rank feet all day, but I cannot approach the offender directly about it. HALP!

mrsdee1982 I would try the baking soda and see if it helps. Is there someone in HR or somewhere else that you could talk to about the smell? It may be a hygiene issue. I would think the smell would be more bothersome than the smell of an air freshener.

Our HR here is a joke and tactless at best. I am afraid if I told them, they'd not only rat me out, they would also be extremely insensitive about it. I don't want to make him feel uncomfortable. He's gotta do what he's gotta do, and I get that.
What if I bought him a pair of comfy slippers and said "Hey, I noticed that you've been having to take your shoes off. I saw these and thought of you and thought they'd help you be more comfortable"?
