in November 2013 Moms

Because we need it yo!

I left work early yesterday with the stomach bug.. DH drove me home and I puked in my lunch bag... yugh..

I am currently living off gatorage and 2 saltiene (sp?) crackers

That being said we are having a low key weekend and afternoon. 

 

What's on tap for the weekend peeps?

    Thanks mommas! I'm feeling better, but now my mom isn't feeling well.  I stayed away from LO yesterday as much as I could.

    It's been a rough week for all of us! I hope we can all find some relaxing time before the holidays really ramp up!!

    Daycare is closed all of next week so I'll be home with Mara for 9 days straight.  I'm going to attempt replacing her bottles with sippy cups.  

    Hold me.
    I had tons of anxiety about dropping bottles but it was actually really painless. It will be okay! Good luck, you'll be fine.

    Any tips on this?  We currently do 3 bottles. One in the morning, one after daycare and one before bed.... He is drinking out of sippy cups the rest of the time...

    @tgrimes1980‌ I am starting slowly. We've dropped daytime bottles since last weekend (and the lack of communication to my mom Wednesday) so she only gets a bottle in the morning and before bed. Its been going really well! I figure next week, since I'm home with her, we will attempt to drop morning bottle. @UntaggableKatie‌ I'll be in Nebraska for Christmas! Not very close to you though, I think an hr & a half from Omaha. @Smilz4782‌ we'll get together after the holidays. This time of year is so rushed and crazy, I'm always glad when the holidays are over. The weekend after we get him i
    Where in Nebraska?? We might be traveling around a bit!!

    @UntaggableKatie‌ I just did it on a Saturday, but he already had dropped his morning bottle in his own.

    He was getting a bottle at 10, 2, and 7:30 for bed. (We are still doing the bedtime bottle for now).

    At his normal time for a bottle we just put him in his chair with a milk sippy and a snack. It worked really well.

    @UntaggableKatie‌ pretty sure you will not be where we are. DHs family is from Blue Hill, about 20 minutes south of Hastings. Small town of about 800. DHs grandma is in the Hastings hospital and we're pretty sure it's her last Christmas (she's 97), so we're making the trek up Christmas Eve and coming back Saturday.

    Which also means we'll be driving through your area both days @mskatiep‌!

    @cagoldi, I'll talk with DH and see if he is up for it.  My worry is just that he'll get dehydrated...but as long as we have 3 wet diapers we're good!

    I was worried about that also, which is why we still do the evening bottle. Also, if I think he hasn't been drinking enough that day I can almost always get him to drink tea or a watered down smoothie, so you could try something like that if he is not so keen on water or milk.

    @mellochello, I always take sippies of water and an empty sippy with me.  So if we eat somewhere he gets milk in a sippy.  If we are just running around, he will drink water from the sippy.  I also always have a gallon of water in my van JIC.

    @Mommyxtwo1113‌ don't beat yourself up, you have to do what's in your dads best interest for his health and that's what you are doing.

    @Finnaroo‌ So sorry, lots of hugs and prayers for you!

    @MelloChello‌ We only do milk first thing in am and right before bed. We take a sippy of water everywhere with us and I will offer milk throughout the day when we're home, but she generally won't drink it.

    Thanks ladies! I've been pouring him a sippy of milk before we run our errands but after some time, if he doesn't finish it, I take it away and give him a new one when we get home. It got me thinking about what I would do if we were out all day.

    Spin off question: have your LOs had anything other than whole/almond milk? Have they had 1 or 2 percent milk? I'm wondering because we went out to dinner the other night and they only had 2% so I passed. I wasn't sure if it would mess with his tummy?

    We do some 2% and some whole. It doesn't seem to bother him.

    Hi.
    Reading up on some threads I missed made me sad, lots of tough situations for a lot of us right now, hope everyone is staying strong.

    Tomorrow we are having my family over to celebrate hannukah, I'm making latkies (duh!) and brisket and hoping it'll be a fun time. It's just 5 of us plus B so not too stressful.
    Any good (easy) latkie recipes or tips? I've never actually been the one making them but I'm excited to try. I don't really like my moms recipie, she makes them like a batter and there end up really mushy, I'm going for more of a crispy has brown type.

    @LJGS1010‌ bite your tongue! Shredding is the only acceptable way to make a latke! Never a food processor! (I might not be Jewish but I have a Jewish godmother and worked for a Jewish org for years- they taught me well!)

    Your latkes look amazing!!! If I didn't have a child with a stomach flu id be making some myself this weekend! Ship some to New York please!

    Pretty sure @JoeLies was on last weekend. I was actually thinking about @Soozerella today, too. She was busy with the move, escrow, and Remy's party. I'll text her tomorrow.

    TB says she was on ~20 minutes ago.

    Yeah, she's been on in the last few minutes. Check Parenting maybe?

    That's the last time I remember seeing her too. I'm not sure what Larry was- could it have chased her away?
