Wednesday whining..

PeachsMama · September 2014

I woke up at 5:20 to pee and I had to get up at 6 to shower. Well DH leaves at 6 so I decided to go ahead and shower so if LO woke up (he was snoring when I woke up) DH could tend to him. I'm just starting to shave my legs and he wakes up SCREAMING. I'm guessing he reached for the boob and it was gone so cue scream. DH couldn't get him calmed down so my shower was cut short and I cut myself shaving. ) : great way to start my day.

Not much going on here. Neva woke up at 4:10 due to teething pain. She went back down around 4:45 after some Tylenol, but I could not fall back asleep. She woke up at 6:30 for the day. I might take a nap when she naps.

@peachsmama sorry you cut yourself!

cagoldi · September 2014

@elvk583‌ That does sound rough. @mamasoup030's H transitioned not long ago. I don't know if she has said how that's going so far.

A has another ear infection. We see the ENT tomorrow but I don't think they'll treat it so I probably have to make an appointment with his pedi also. First day of PTO since I went back to work in January and I get to spend it shuttling him around to doctors.

@cagoldi‌ @elvk583‌ funny you should mention this I was going to whine about it anyway. I love her new teacher, and a lot of the assistants rotate so she has friendly faces, but she is the youngest in the room and the other kids only take 1 nap a day.

I expressed concern over this on meet the teacher day (I did end up going but was just super late) and the teacher assured me that Hayley would get 2 naps for the first few months. Well that has not happened. Last night she fell asleep again as we drove home from DC. She never used to do that.

She goes back tomorrow, I plan to tell the teacher my concerns and ask she go to nap time in the infant room twice a day if need be. At least until she is a year old, then she can chill with the big kids all day. This room requires lunch- that part of it is going well, I think she's enjoying that part since we are doing it at home too.

My biggest whine of the day- our office is being renovated as we work( lovely right? ) and they are painting today- my asthma is killing me. I had to leave last Thursday when they hung wallpaper in the rooms not being painted and tomorrow they lay down carpet. I'm not sure how much more fumes I can stand but I don't have the PTO to stay home. I just want to breathe!

Hugs to everyone else whining today- I wish I could make your days better

cagoldi · September 2014

@mamasoup030‌ I wouldn't be okay with that either. Our DC doesn't move them up until they are 15-18 months so they are all down to one nap.

mamasoup030 · September 2014

@cagoldi‌ thanks for the back up, I wouldn't care if she fell asleep and had 2 naps, but I feel like the poor kid is tired but she's trying to keep up with the other kids. It's too much to ask of a 9 month old.

cagoldi · September 2014

@JoeLies Yep, exactly. Now that he can get around okay they take him out to play with the big kids here and there so he gets used to the outdoor play, and then once he gets closer to transitioning he'll start spending an hour in the other class each day for a week or two.

@mamasoup030 I agree. It's asking a lot of a baby that age.

@Mommyxtwo1113‌ let us know what happens with C's Immunology visit.

katie.725 · September 2014

With LO's history of wheezing, this entero-virus going around is scaring the bejessus out of me... It's in most of the states surrounding Nebraska... and I read a local article saying it will come to Neb.

Hold me...

Karadee1 · September 2014

DH took G to the doc this morning, he had so much gunk going on I wanted to make sure he didn't have pink eye. Pedi said no pink eye but did put him on an antibiotic.

I'm pretty sure I'm catching whatever he has now. I feel terrible, my throat hurts and my ears hurt. I have the ability to work from home now so I think I might do that this afternoon. I can lay on the couch with my laptop while DH and G hang out and play.

mamasoup030 · September 2014

@mnlucky13, it is so hard to leave lately for us too. I actually starting crying myself when she started to cry yesterday and the teacher scooped up Hayley and told me to go (kindly). Hopefully it gets easier for you and @elvk583. On our end it is separation anxiety and I just pray that eventually she will see that I do come back and not to panic.

Layla has a horrible diaper rash, at least that is what I think it is. Her labia is just so red and raw. She screams at every diaper change. We had a yeast infection at like 4 months, but never anything like this. I've tried no diaper to air her out, a&d, and (I know, I know) baby powder.... What works best for you LO's? I'm theory I think it needs to stay dry to heal, but I also want to put a barrier like A&d to protect it. What do you think? We stopped using wipes and are now just using wash clothes.

cagoldi · September 2014

@mskatiep we only get diaper rashes when we are doing ABX so we have only dealt with the yeast. Washcloths instead of wipes like you are doing, naked time as much as you can, feed her yogurt once a day and give her a probiotic if you think it is yeast. @meeshkaroni said she had success with Lotramin for a yeast rash. I would still use A & D to protect her skin and give her a little relief.

cagoldi · September 2014

Oh, and no more baby powder, especially if it's yeast. We also did warm baking soda baths and that seems to help.

mskatiep · September 2014

@klongoria11‌ I actually still have the second tube of cream for the original yeast infection. It just doesn't "look" like yeast which is why Ihhaven't used it yet. @cagoldi I'll stop the powder and give more naked time. She eats yogurt almost everyday already, but I will find a probiotic. She has been having around 8 small loose bowl movements a day for the last 3 days, I think her skin is just raw, but hell Idk. I'd post a pic, but I'd probably get into some type of trouble...

[Deleted User] · September 2014

@cagoldi So sorry to hear that A has another EI. Hopefully the ENT will be able to help!

Thanks for asking about C. We just got home from our 9 am appt. It was a lot of info, however I think we have a diagnosis. I don't want to get too much into it here but if anyone really wants to know I can discuss it with them privately. It's not life threatening and we still some steps to get an official diagnosis, but at least it's a step in the right direction.

I'm a little overwhelmed right now so I may not be around much today but I am thinking about all the ladies with the sick LOs.

cagoldi · September 2014

@Mommyxtwo1113‌ PM me if you like. I'll be running around with A but will check when I can. I'm not happy to hear that she is sick but glad you finally have some answers.

Our pedi recommended bag balm when G had a really bad rash. We would put the bag balm on first to help protect the skin from moisture and then would use extra strength butt paste on top. The bag balm really helped it from getting worse, it acts as a moisture barrier. I would pat his bum dry with a little toilet paper to get rid of the moisture at changes. I just tried to pile on as much bag balm and cream as I could to keep the moisture off his bum. I hope it gets better soon!

TJHine · September 2014

So sorry to heat about all the sick babies!

T has had a little more solids lately, but the poor kid's poop is a little thicker now and he SCREAMS when he goes. I'm so sad! I just bought prunes and pears and tried to get them into him...praying it helps!

Oh, we also helped mil pick up this cutie today!

hobbitwife said:
@TJHine‌ same over here! It's not hard, but I think the real poop consistency is just startling and new for her

I think that's the same for T. He looks like he doesn't understand why he has to work harder and he does not like it!

What is a bento box?

Guys, random question. Do your babies actually sit still when you read to them? Everytime I attempt to read to L he either tears the pages out or climbs away from me. He hates all the books!

Ha ha nope. She closes the book and moves away.

My kid sits still for nobody and for nothing. He grabs the book out of my hands and takes off with it. He hates the grass though, so if we are at the park he scrambles into my lap to avoid it and I can read a few pages before he chews the shit out of it. 10 month-olds have an awful lot of similarities to puppies.

Si had such a rough time tonight. He just was completely exhausted and fighting sleep for all he was worth. All he wanted to do was pull up on things but he was so tired he couldn't.

DH held and rocked him while he sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. Broke both our hearts.

Poor guy. I'm sorry. Fwiw I'm rocking Luke right now for the same reason.

You get all the hugs today lady.

Thanks. I swear I feel like I've been complaining a lot but I really love my life and things could be so much worse. Thanks for putting up with me

mamasoup030 · September 2014

@MelloChello‌ since I went back to work in the spring I nurse Hayley on one side and pump the other. While pumping I would put her in the jumperoo and read to her. She could look at the book and pay attention (or not) but not touch. Now we do this with her in the play pen aka cage and she actually come closer to me and stands and listens. Obviously this took a long time, but it is possible I think. Maybe try containing her in something and reading, even the high chair could work with some puffs for good behavior.

@ggandlee beautiful pic!

The kid just signed for the first time. He did milk. He was crawling towards DH, stopped and picked up his left hand and did the sign. I said, "Oh, he just signed!" DH was like, yeah, I notice he picked up his hand and did something. Um, dude, he did the exact same thing we have shown him about 10 times a day for months, and it barely registers? Okay.

My front right tire is leaking air..I'd be happy if it turns out to be a hole that can be patched but I'm pretty sure the wheel itself is bent causing air to slowly escape for it doesn't seal correctly anymore. All because of the fucking potholes on the road..thank you MI.
