Sidebar: can someone please recommend a legit thermometer?? Or how to get accurate temp?

I always used a rectal thermometer until my son was like 18 months. Fevers freak me out since I had febrile seizures as a kid. I believe you get the most accurate reading by taking the temp rectally. I have a Vicks rectal thermometer that I really like. It has a short tip so you don't have to worry about putting it in too far.

ILY @catalinapink for breaking the tension with adorable pics of you and your kid

I second the Vicks digital. It has a soft rubbery tip and reads quick. I have one for rectal reads and one for oral and I just marked them with nail polish so I wouldn't mix them up!

Completely unrelated: I'm pumping right now fighting back tears. This will be my last time pumping this third session at work before I start weaning next week (I'm off wed-fri and WFH tomorrow). Physically producing milk is such a mindfuck.

I haven't seen Chicago be mean.  

Fiery and fun? Yes! 

But never mean. 

This is hilarious.  She has been "rude" today but she is fiery and fun.  I said I didn't like someone and I have bashed, belittled, and attacked.  THAT IS FUNNY.

y'all are something else.

 

I haven't bashed, belittled or attacked you, so don't be so dramatic. I simply said I haven't noticed Was being fake or Chicago being mean.  Your accusations are not funny.

Sooooo what y'all are saying is anal probing is the way to go. Dammit.

THATS WHAT SHE SAID

I honestly think you are straight up mean sometimes.


Isn't that how life works? We all click better with some people. I think Chicago is awesome, and has been there for me anytime I needed advice or just to vent. I don't recall ever seeing a post from her that was particularly mean.

Thanks dollface!




You have got to be kidding me. You're a total ass a lot of the time. I'm with @ilovemarfa and @kellenhi21 you need to hop off your high horse. This is me being nice.

@wasnotwas If we're being honest here today and since I've already earned a "meanie" badge....I liked you better before your Zac Efron gif.  I know he's not nearly as young as I thought, but I still feel like he is. So, basically... every time you post I feel like a dirty old lady. And, I hate you for that. Whew. I feel better.

I needed a laugh! I think it's time for a change anyway. Maybe that's what I'll do for the rest of my day at work...

@WasNotWas Today was the first day since N was born that I haven't pumped or nursed mid-morning, around 10-11ish.  It felt very strange.  We're down to 3 nursing/pumping sessions a day now - I think I might hang out here for a little while.  I really can't imagine going down to just 2.  It's so weird to think that there is a finite number of nursing sessions left.  Both exhilarating and WEIRD!

WasNotWas

@numbersgirl08 right? Like I know it will be awesome to be done but getting there is hard. It's like forcing yourself to accept that your baby is getting older

Oh stop. Jan is very far from that. Quit searching out posts to call Jan on and bring back up the drama. It's dying down... Let it die...

I'm so pissed!!! I have a flag from a person who has only posted like once! And it's on a post about old navy so the flag wasn't even warranted. Lame.

Let @elmoali know and she can clear it. Or you can wear it as a badge of honor and say it's cuz of something cool

I have one too for the same reason. @wasnotwas was kind enough to bring it to my attention otherwise I would have never known!

JANCANDANCE

I am going to lay this here... I am an acquired taste. I know this about myself.  I am many things but to accuse me of speaking ill about children is where I draw the line.  I would never say anything about a baby.  I am still in shock about it.  Say whatever you want about me and feel however you need to feel but I don't bash babies.  She knows who she is and I am sure she will read this.

Please send us some rainbows. Waiting at urgent care right now. J has a fever of 101 and feeling extra crappy. (

Hope he feels better!

ETA: other than rectal (

The rectal we have isn't too bad. It has a small probe that doesn't go in too far if that's what you are worried about. It's a Vicks. We also have an Exergen temporal thermometer that works pretty well.

Last week!! My week is already over!! I've been off since last Sunday! I don't wanna go back.....!!!! Only 3 more night shifts though!!

Oooooh. Bummer   Only 3 more night shifts and you're off again, or you'll be done with night shifts? Sorry if you've already answered this. I've had a hard time keeping up with all of the words. Lol.

@42butterflies you just never know. It sucks. Both my boys have displayed serious teething issues and "about to pop" gums for two months before the first teeth through. I am still waiting on Lo but it's been teething and hard gums for 1.5 months now.
