I got an Amazon order in with 3 2 fleece onesies and a sweater for my Maltese. I did a fashion show with her to show DH. He proceeded to say I need a baby lol. Also I specifically took the time to make a photo grid so I don't bombard you with so many dog pics plus they were uploading huge for some reason.
@loveindc I've never heard of that, that seems pretty awesome! I'm gonna check it out.
@avrilmai I think I'm gonna try it, can't hurt, right?
ANOTHER question: girlfriends of mine asked if I wanted to go to Florida in April for a long weekend. With Zika being a potential concern (although only in Miami etc), would you even consider going?
@hartmich It depends where in Florida. In April I doubt the mosquitoes will have gotten far north of Miami (August for instance might be a different story). I wouldn't go to Miami, but elsewhere I probably wouldn't worry about it.
Fwiw I went to Atlanta last year in June and I didn't see a single mosquito the whole time.
@adirat That's what I was thinking. They're talking about Rosemary Beach which is much further north than Miami. On one hand, I know logically it'd probably be fine. But on the other hand, I just am not sure it's worth the stress of it? Ugh.

@BertieMeetsGertie@heatherdubrow me too. I have been on the desktop a lot more recently cause I have been home but 99% of the time I am mobile. Such a PITA to search anything or just see what is going on where.

uggggg so my rescue Sheltie that's being treated for heartworm has been peeing on the floor lately even though she was house trained within a week of getting her. It dawned on me last night that that's a sign of UTI but of course the on base vet clinic doesn't have a vet in today and will be closed for the long Lunar New Year weekend. Now I have to take her to a Korean vet that doesn't have any of her records once I get a pee sample.
It has been 48 hours since I last had sex. My H is home late tonight and is due home in 20 minutes. I am in crazy lingerie, the house is all in mood lighting...I am like a tiger about to take down its prey.
@slaven dogs on pred will often drink a lot and pee a LOT. Def get her urine checked, but 97% of the time (Made up stat, but you get what I mean), dogs on pred that are peeing are because they are on pred, and thats it, so try not to worry too much!
@kiwi2628 I figured it's the pred but I also want to check just to be safe. I'd rather treat a UTI than a kidney infection. She couldn't even hold it for 2 1/2 hours last night or from 9am to noon the other day and she's not really drinking more than usual. Between the two dogs I only top off the bowl once a day, but our Maltese doesn't drink much. Also, have fun DTD
@hartmich I live close to Fort Lauderdale. At my last dr appointment I mentioned zitka testing bc we are TTC. My dr was not concerned at all. Possible TW*** two of my good friends are pregnant and their dr aren't requiring testing either, said not concerned about this area unless they had been in Miami and even then it's very specific zones. Of course, do your own research and what you are comfortable with. I still use lots of bug repellent when I'm outside, but just as an FYI from someone in FL.
@hartmich@flgirl20134 I listened to a very interesting podcast about zika today. The host tries to talk to experts and take a scientific look at different issues. She starts by saying the research is not conclusive enough to give concrete answers but goes through what research there is and where the virus came from etc. Link below if you are interested.
@kiwi2628 she's now getting an ultrasound and an X-ray. I really don't know why though. Communicating with Korean vets when I don't speak Korean is hard. I have to rely on their English translation. The vet mentioned something about stones. Maybe her preliminary pee test showed something but they didn't say what. At least here a pee test, X-ray, and ultrasound are under $100.
eta: She's perfectly fine, just peeing all over the place
OMG you guys. I am in the RE waiting room and my regular OBGYN is here - as a patient.
She didn't see me so I didn't say anything to her before she got called back but it just really goes to show you - you never know what people are going through or struggling with. I can't imagine doing her job and struggling with IF.
@adirat I KNOW. Like I had a hard enough time sitting in the waiting room with the pregnant women. I almost feel guilty for going to her with concerns, even though I know it's her job.
@bertiemeetsgertie I agree, it's probably a good thing she didn't see me. I know there's no shame in this process, but that doesn't mean you want everyone to know your business.
@heatherdubrow I thought of you and some others this morning because there was a sign in the waiting room basically saying do NOT bring your children there. I know you said that in your experience, it's very discouraged and I was actually glad to see that there.
@sglen3 Thanks for the podcast rec! I know this is definitely overboard (obviously plenty of women live in Florida, etc) but my friends & I decided to choose a different location. They said we can always go another time and pick a new location this time.
Can someone tell me how red raspberry leaf tea tastes? I've seen it mentioned on here, and I'm so picky about what I drink (more than what I eat). I just want to know before I spend money on it.

@hartmich wow it's true you never know what someone is going through! That would've been super awkward if she saw you! i think that's really cool that your RE office has a sign. Those women I saw at my appt seemed completely clueless that they were doing something wrong, and basically acted like everyone should just be charmed by their children. A sign would be nice
@slaven One of my pups has been on pred a lot because of his allergies, and he always pees in the house the first couple of days because of it. One time when my husband came home he went running down the stairs to greet him, so excited, and peeing the entire way, and peed all over H's shoes. H couldn't be mad because he was just so excited and the drugs made him do it!

@bluejeanbabi05 Yes, be the special snowflake who gets KU before having to do IVF!! My doc actually told me how that happened to her, so it could happen to me, and it took every fiber of my being to not throat punch her.

Thanks, @LuND! I love chamomile, so I should like it then.
I lent DH one of my favorite books for his deployment. He just finished it and found the receipt in the book (since that's my usual bookmark), and I guess he didn't see the date because he thinks I went out and bought the book just for him. It's actually just my copy from before we started dating. I don't have the heart to tell him he's wrong! He is getting a book I went out and bought just for him in a care package this week (a special edition of 'The Little Prince'- his favorite). But isn't it more special that I lent him my only copy of my favorite book?
