Just got back from urgent care, my poor little boy has strep throat. Again. 7 times in one year. Poor kid had a fever of 103 and was not doing well, and then tossed his cookies (well, fruit snacks) in the lobby of urgent care. Fortunately he's on antibiotics now. Hoping they kick in soon. Looks like we are on the Popsicle diet now, too.
Have they threatened to take out his tonsils? I used to get it a lot and when I w as a teen I got the "one more time this year" speach (like it was a choice)
I had my tonsils out in first grade because of how sick I would get at least once a month. It helped my out so much, and I'm pretty sure my sister had to have hers taken out around the same time, too. If that's the issue, it's so worth it to have the tonsillectomy done.
I'm all for getting those unnecessary kinds of things removed. 7 times in one year is crazy. My LO is having his adenoids out as soon as he turns 2, and if the tonsils even start to cause problems, they'll get the boot too.
Hope your LO gets some relief soon
I had mine out when I was 16 (tonsils and adenoids) because I remember spending so much time with strep, sitting on the couch drinking milkshakes doing homework from missing more school. Getting them removed was totally worth it. I hope little man feels better soon because that is the pits
Longest block quote ever. Sorry ladies.
Appreciate the thoughts ladies. His fever went down and I promised him if it did I'd take him to Toys R Us to spend this birthday gift card he got (which is what we were SUPPOSED to do today) so that's what we did. BUT, it was a mistake. He threw up again and feels like crap. Crappy mommy award goes to me today. No moving from the couch for the next 24 hours, at least. Poor boy. He's miserable. And I'm terrified I'm going to get it. Ugh. What a crap day. I'll keep you all posted. But probably won't be bumping much until he's better.
@cmerribury I hope your LO gets better soon! AFM, I have my chair kinda where I want it, but I spent the rest of my day napping and crocheting my newest baby hat. I also started another blanket. I think the next thing I will have to buy is sweat pants/pajama pants for myself. I just spent 20 minutes trying to find a pair of comfy pajamas for tonight- ended up with a pair of yoga pants and a huge t shirt because that's all I could find. My current sweats are starting to dig into my sides, and my smaller t shirts roll up over my tummy now. If I pull them down they constrict my arms so I can't move
I hear you, I feel like I can't find anything that fits. I was really lucky to get a bunch of secondhand maternity clothing from friends, but one of them was the tiniest pregnant woman ever, and the other is taller than I am and has a different style than I do. So I do have some clothes, but nothing that really makes me feel great. And I just bought a pair of maternity pj pants from oldnavy that feel too tight on my thighs when I sit certain ways. Boo for maternity clothing that makes you feel fat.
That transition time between when your kid doesn't think he needs a nap and he really does basically sucks and results in lots of crying/screaming and really early bedtimes. Tonight's one of those nights I really wish I could drink. Good thing is brother was overly cute tonight...

Oh I hear you @skruhmin ds is at that point to. Some days he gets a nap but he fights it till its later than he should be napping, and then he is in bed for the night at later than usual. Sometimes he skips his nap altother and falls asleep early. Either way, he ends up being a cranky brat most of the afternoon.
@cmerribury hope your lo gets well soon. Ds is still recovering from his strep going on 3 weeks.
@oceanchild sometimes I find just getting up and walking across the bathroom helps with emptying my bladder more (seems to do the same as the stand and pee). You are definitely not alone there, but I usually stand find standing And walking a little helps.
Just finished all of the pieces for ds's Octonauts cake. I will post a pic tomorrow once I get it all out together. Pretty happy with how it is all coming along. Thank God for my mom and mil who have been cleaning my house and running errands so I can get the cake done.
Ugh I caught ds's stomach bug!!! Today is supposed to be his birthday party. I am so upset. Currently sitting on the bathroom floor and all I want to do is cry. He is going to be so disappointed if I postpone it. I thought we were in the clear since Ds had it Wednesday and we have all been fine, but i have been throwing up for the last hour and a half

Oh crud I hope it passes quickly! Nothing worse than throwing up while pregnant. Just try to stay hydrated as best you can...
Been such a lurker here. I've been so so so busy. 6am-10pm day wed training a service dog for plane travel ( flew to Charlotte and back) then home for an eval then drove 2 hours. Next day another eval and a lesson and finally home at 8. Then up with my 165lb boarder St. Bernard and 2 more evals....and in and on. Bonus is I LOVE the St. Bernard. His name is Sully! Like from Monsters Inc. I call him monster now. He's so sweet.
Just started gathering the hand-me-downs. Between my sister/nephew and DH's cousins and their four boys over a span of 6 years I won't need any boy clothes! YAY! But also boo. I'm such a cheep skate I can't justify going out and buying something myself so I feel like I'm missing out on that. Also getting lots of gear and since money is tight I am so so so very grateful but I have a question. Would it be bad of me to take multiples of things from different people. DH 's cousin doesn't seem to mind since she pointed out I could leave the extras at the grandparents. But things like boppy pillows and strollers. I feel REALLY awkward just saying "sure I'll take it all!" If there was someone else in the family who needed it I would say give it to them but there isn't at the moment so... I don't know. Any thoughts?
Here's Sully with my dog Phoenix. ( found a cattle dog stuffed animal that looks like her to add to my registry
My goodness! So many sick moms and babies! Feel better, guys!
Meanwhile, yesterday was our one week mark. One week until the move. I'm so stressed right now, just trying to put everything in boxes and also plan a menu for this week and snacks for the trip. So much to do, so little time!
My little bump is not so little any more, in fact he's kinda blown up like a balloon in there d: which I wouldn't mind if I had more money to spend on clothes... Anyone know where I can find some cheap?
OMG! I love you gals! I've been off of the bump for a while. Just trying to make some extra bucks where I can (usually painting houses with my mom) so I haven't had time. It feels wonderful to sit on the couch on a Sunday morning and catch up on everything I've been missing.
I'm sorry to hear about all the illness that's been going around.
And I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one whose bladder isn't emptying all the way. I'll try standing next time I pee (OK, right now).
Oh no @stormiewinter!!! I am so, so sorry! Hope you feel better fast, and that somehow thugs work out with LO's bday party @cmerribury hope your little streppy is well again quickly too! It was sweet of you trying to make him feel better with TRU, not crappy! Sending hugs to you both, and your LOs.

Well we are still stranded at my Moms. I tried to bring us home but he reported queasiness about 5 minutes into the 2 hour drive, so we turned back. Poor kid. Looks like we have another overnight on the books.
Shew got a "you're a mean mommy" and "I don't like you" (to which I responded "I don't like you very much right now, bud, it hurts my feelings when you tell me you don't like my food I work hard to cook for you and don't even try"). We are trying to work on teaching how his words and actions make others feel. This stage is rough. He's such a cool kid, it's just rough right now.

Doing a test run for Thanksgiving for one of our turkeys today. Smoked turkey breast. I just put it in the smoker and I am STARVING! This might have been a mistake.

I already told dh that he can forget the turkey this year. I am a 25 year old mother that has never actually made a turkey. Hoping come Christmas, my dad can show me how. And maybe I will feel more up to dealing with making and eating it. I really hate not getting to pig out on the holidays.
I got a wild hair this morning at 8am and decided to do a mini Thanksgiving with DH and some friends. Talk about a cooking frenzy... dressing, broccoli and cheese casserole, brussel sprouts and bacon, mashed potatoes, all by noon lol. I don't have the best ideas always, but it was tasty
I just saw baby move from the outside. I yelled at DH to come see and he saw three movements!! This is so cool!! Yet it still does not feel real! Four months to DD and I think it still hasn't totally sunk in!!!
Yesterday was my 4 months too baby day. I can't believe it. Today I actually put on makeup AND got a hair cut but it was embarrassing and upsetting because the stylist was picking at my thinning/bald spots. Thanks, baby
Sorry to all of the sick mommies and kiddos. I hope everyone feels better.
@2goofykids I don't envy your move. We moved in July and it's was 100+ and MS was in full swing. It would suck to be doing it now too. Also, I bought like 6 shirts for $30 from a lady in a Facebook page. You could try there or Ross is where I usually go.
I had to buy a sleeper nursing bra and lactation pads today. I woke up this morning and yesterday with wet sheets and crusted arms. So long, topless nights. Hello, full on gross lactation.
Slowly coming back to land of living. 12 hours of cramps and vomiting. Still running a low grade fever and have random cramping that takes my breath away, but at least I can sit up now without vomiting and I have been able to keep down some water.
We postponed DS's party to next week. I will have to throw out all the cake and food I made yesterday, but since dh had his first day off in 3 months Ds was not to disappointed since he got to have a daddy day.
Ewww EWWWWWW WTF, barf, EWW!! Soliciting mothers for their baby on TB is just so gross and so creepy. I'm seriously freaked out after seeing that. Gross, just gross. I'm in shock. This exactly why I get pissy at people posting ultrasound pics with all their info clearly visible. Creeps like these can see all that information. It's bad enough that I can't sleep right now but that just made it worse. I'll be trying to sleep while trying to cling on tighter to my bump.

Edited: I no no how engrish right now...
My thoughts exactly. I was feeling so many bad emotions over that! Also, it seriously pisses me off that tbg's are so quick to send warnings and bans but let that nonsense happen.

Happy Monday, mamas! Hope it is a good one. My smallest woke up in a decent mood this morn, and my oldest did also. (Middle is a grump so far, but like me she's not a morning person; hoping some snuggles will smooth out her frown.)

@oceanchild Yes, it was a couple and I'm assuming it was the wife that actually kept responding because everyone kept saying how inappropriate the whole deal was. Apparently they posted in every board too which a lot of people were (rightly) upset about. The whole deal was just creepy and extremely sketchy. It's sad that people actually do that sort of thing.

Morning all. We had another rough Kindergarten drop off this morning, so I stopped at the gas station for coffee and donuts on my way home! Problems solved. I haven't been craving sweets nearly as much this pregnancy as my last (boy vs. girl thing?). At least up until last week. I think the sugar cravings have started. I sent DH to the gas station last night at 9:30 for chocolate milk and cookies. Bring on the weight gain!!
