    @Tasha575‌ I got my results right away both times, like barely woke up and the dr standing there with my results. I was fine afterwards, the day before and the drink is just the worst part.

    Have you tried Napa Valley Olive Oil Co's oils? So many amazing flavors!

    Yes! We are obsessed with olive oil in our house... We also have lotion from there that is so amazing.

    DH left to go work on his tailgating company stuff with his buddies and of course Aiden wakes up right after he leaves. I get him back to sleep and his stupid stuffy nose woke him back up 15 minutes later! Now I'm sitting in the nursery next to the crib hoping Aiden will suck his fingers back to sleep, but so far it's not looking promising. When do I get to go hang out with friends on a work night?! I want a turn, he does this twice a week most weeks lately :((

    I chickened out and didn't do full red, just copper highlights.

    And then I got home and got an eob in the mail that says I owe another $1,000 in medical bills. That makes $6,000 and I haven't even seen the nicu bill yet. So frustrated because my hr lady said my oop is $5,000. This is going to be either a successful or depression call to the insurance company tomorrow...

    @macgrs‌ I agree stick with low flow. When I was an infant room teacher I didn't know anything about breast fed babies and I would have made the same suggestion. Slow flow nipples mean baby eats slower which means more time consuming and when you have 4 babies to care for (1:4 ratio) time is precious before one starts crying. Stick to your guns you know your baby best.


    @PoppySeedWindsor‌ thank you, you're so sweet I needed that.

    @dani+california‌ I know what you mean.. The nurse weighing him made a big deal about him being a big baby, which irritated me.. Our babies happy and healthy that's all that should matter right??

    My guy is smaller than most. It's cool. They can't all be exactly the same. That would be boring.

    So DS1 neurologist today said that I need to cut nitrates out of his diet because they are a headache trigger. Two of his favorite lunches, hot dogs and deli meat sandwiches are gone now.

    Welp today was one of the roughest days since we brought LO home. H is out of state, and LO has been on a napping strike this whole week. I'm talking nothing longer than 25 minutes. Today he was so overly tired; cried until he coughed and fought sleep allllll day. I shouldn't complain because he's sleeping through the night, but sheesh!

    I'm just struggling with getting him to nap in the crib because that's where he'll be sleeping at daycare.

    FFAlmostFC I signed up to bring a better than sex cake to work tomorrow. My caramel syrup is expired. I didn't realize it until after I made the cake. I used it. I am not telling anyone. I am sure it is fine?
    Most stuff is fine if it goes a little over the expiration date as long as it was stored properly.

    Applegate Farms brand is really good nitrate free hot dogs and deli meat. Also Vons/Pavillions/Safeway carries another nitrate free brand called Open Nature.
    Costco sells some as well but I didn't care for the hot dogs. The lunch meat was good. You are far better off without the nitrates anyway. There was a recent study linking nitrate consumption in children with leukemia.

    DS1 EEG came back good! He has normal brain waves! He is just a rare case of toddler migraines. He is being put on migraine medicine. And now a cute pic of my sweetie during his test.


    This came up with one of my preschool students this week. He hasn't gotten a migraine diagnosis yet, but he is having the terrible headaches. His mom posted on FB about it and another parent chimed in about her sons terrible headaches and how it was related to hypoglycemia. His blood sugar would tank and bring on the headaches. With careful monitoring of his diet, he was able to control the headaches.

    How did your doc come to the diagnosis? Did they run blood tests and the whole 9 yards? I read ahead and saw you're eliminating nitrates. Is there anything else you're trying? I'd like to be able to pass on the info you got so she's got something to compare it to when she does take her little guy in. Glad your sons EEG was normal!!

    We did do some blood tests, but I can't remember if it was for these headaches or his other issues. He has a ton going wrong right now. Also we went to a pediatric ophthalmologist to make sure it wasn't his vision causing them. He got a ct scan a few months ago too and that came back normal. The EEG came back fine so the neurologist went off of his symptoms for the diagnosis and I have Ehlers-Danlos and migraines. DS1 hasn't gotten an official diagnosis, we go to that dr in Feb, but they think he has it too and migraines are a common problem with it.
    We are trying a preventive migraine medicine along with cutting out nitrates to see if it helps. We go back in 6 weeks to see how it's going.
    The low blood sugar is interesting. DS1 has had a few times where he starts yelling HELP from his crib and I run in there and he's shaking and unable to stand. He can't put any weight on his legs at all. The doctors don't know what it could be because his EEG was normal so I'm supposed to try and record it next time it happens.

    Thanks for the nitrate free ideas! He doesn't eat very many hot dogs because I know they aren't that great. However he loves subs and deli meat sandwiches. That is really the only way he will eat meat at all. After reading about nitrates, I really don't want to eat them either! So my mom and I are going to try and find some of those brands at the store and try then out.

    Dreading my prep work tomorrow for my colonoscopy Friday. A day of just clear liquids :( I know I'll get through it, but I've been craving a hamburger really badly.
    Good luck! I had one a few years ago. Drinking the prep drink was the worst part for me. I still can't drink lemon lime gatorade  :-&

    @Tasha575‌ I feel your pain. I've had two of them and will probably need another soon. It's miserable the days leading up to it. Good luck.

    Thanks ladies, I just finished my first round of the magnesium citrate :-& It wasn't so bad at the beginning, but seemed to worsen as I got towards the end. Can't wait to get tomorrow over with. How is the recovery after? Do you hear about the results right away?
    Recovery was fine for me. The twilight sleep was so odd though. I "woke up" alone in a little recovery room with a small TV 6 inches from my face and I was watching Saved By The Bell. TMI - I also farted so much it was ridiculous haha I went to Walgreens with my mom and DH after and besides being starving I was fine. Tey told me right away that they saw nothing too concerning and then my Doctor discusses it more at my next appointment. Fingers crossed for you!

    @Dani+California mine woke up at 5:30 too. I really wanted a few more minutes of sleep but we got some nice cuddles before I left for the airport.

    Now I'm the girl crying at the airport because I'm leaving B for the weekend.

    DH keeps telling me I'm awesome but his actions aren't there- it's like his life hasn't changed and since I'm handling it he can go about his day as per usual.

    This is what I have been saying on repeat since week 6 (after the newborn fog lifted). Super supportive DH but when it comes down to it 100% of things in my life have changed. He's at 15%. He works same hours, sleeps all night and works out. Granted I know he tries but I get so frustrated.
    I am sorry @Holljade‌, don't worry you're not alone. I am having a convo this weekend with DH about what he can do to help me. Good luck!!

    Right there with you. I blew up at DH this morning and just slammed the door and left. Over laundry?! BUt really, it's more about him not caring about the things that I care about and making an effort.  I think we need to have a looooong chat tonight or I'm going to lose my shit permanently.
