I'm just pumped it's basically fall. I have no shame in my love for all things pumpkin, apple, cozy, and wonderful. Just hoping my endless morning sickness ends soon so I can enjoy the foods!

We are currently in Palm Beach, FL and are supposed to fly out on Saturday. Can't get ahold of the airline, can't find any earlier flights, and we're looking at shelling out big money for one way tickets home earlier than Saturday. Ugh.
@FTM53 Oh no, stay safe! Are you evacuating? I've never lived in a place with hurricanes but the news scares me to death for everyone affected. I hope they have lots of options for you guys to get to safety and out of harm's way.
@winnie1122 nope, not evacuating. Staying put and my mom (in Miami) is probably going to come up to us Thursday night or Friday morning. I'm not one to be worried. I'm typically driving in a tropical storm and having an outdoor party in a Cat 2, but this is a monterous storm and it's pretty scary. If it does hit us, I am prepared and I even have a hand/footprint craft to commemorate AJs first hurricane
@kburg15 stay safe! Glad you got an earlier flight. Staying here when you live there is one thing, but I wouldn't want to be stuck here as a tourist!
@FTM53 You are so brave. I wanted to evacuate and we live like 3 hours inland. I miss my nice safe California that didn't have hurricanes or tropical storms. Stay safe!
We have been having insane forest fires over here. It feels like the world is going crazy right now!! People are losing their homes and evacuating the areas. Our yard is covered in ash. It is falling from the sky like snow!
I hope everyone stays safe in their respective areas! I am praying for everyone. Please keep us updated!
I am in Oregon! My husband informed me only one home has burned down so far, but it is still scary for people who live close to that area. Some teenagers threw firecrackers down in the gorge. Our air quality on Tuesday was considered hazardous and we couldn't go outside. Yesterday was unhealthy. It seems like there are fires everywhere!!
Stay safe @shaylalr and everyone else in the dangerous areas right now! Is this year just extra insane or have I been under a rock in past seasons?? I know there's usually at least one major natural disaster every year somewhere, but I can't believe it this year. So scary, I feel so not helpful in my little Midwest bubble watching everyone go through this. Praying for you guys.

What do you do for the inside your home air quality?
Ugh! Yes I read about those boys and the fireworks. So sad. Hope things start turning around in your area @shaylalr We had a crazy and very brief hint of rain the other day in Northern California. Maybe there's more in both our futures!!
@ldsjm123 I honestly was unprepared! I am not sure what to do! I haven't been opening any windows or anything like that. We are definitely suffering some allergies because of it. People are wearing masks when they go outside.
Hey ladies- anybody want to share their first postpartum period stories? I got some cramps on and off this week so I'm thinking Aunt Flo is going to return. But today I woke up feeling super hot! I checked and I don't have a fever. Is feeling hot a sign of a returning period? Any other crazy symptoms I should be prepared for?! Thanks in advance!!!
Childrens vs Infants Tylenol. I haven't called the pedi yet but I read that there is no difference other than price and Children's coming with a cup rather than a syringe. Does anyone have experience with this? I have gobs of syringes and will gladly save a few bucks and buy Children's instead.
Have any of you flipped the mattress in the crib yet? Our mattress is made for baby on one side and toddler on the other. I was thinking maybe it's time to flip?

Wait there's a difference?? I know nothing, are we supposed to switch to something else soon?

Hahaha! I think all are made this way - one side more firm for when they're babies and one side more soft for toddlers. I just wasn't sure if they're considered "toddler" enough now for a softer mattress?
Thanks guys! Childrens it is...tylenol is so expensive.
I totally forgot about flipping the mattress. I dont know when that would be?? I dont think all mattresses have the capability but the tag should indicate which side is which if it can be flipped
I had no idea about the mattress! Checking ours in the morning.. Anyone who is the path of Irma or have relatives who are, are there any updates? Keeping all of you in my thoughts!
I was just sitting here thinking I never even checked my mattress before putting her on it. But mine is the same on both sides. So glad I saved the info sheet!
My husband and I's moms are both in central Florida. Not in mandatory evacuation zones, but they both fall in this red zone, which is almost as scary. Neither are leaving. Also, our mattress is 2 sided as well. Thank you for the reminder! We haven't switched it yet. But mostly because I had forgotten.
Re: September Randoms
So...I live on the FL west coast. Have lived through a bunch of hurricanes, including 1992s Andrew, but this one (Irma) really has me worried...
@kburg15 Hope you get home safe!
Has any of your babies ever had blisters on her feet?
@kburg15 stay safe! Glad you got an earlier flight. Staying here when you live there is one thing, but I wouldn't want to be stuck here as a tourist!
Glad you were able to reschedule your flight, @kburg15!! I'm sure that's a good choice!! Doesn't look like a storm to chance.
I hope everyone stays safe in their respective areas! I am praying for everyone. Please keep us updated!
I pray everyone is safe!
What do you do for the inside your home air quality?
@kmurdock925 - there's no difference. It used to be different concentrations but they changed that due to dosing errors.
Motrin does have a difference but she gave us the appropriate dosage for the childrens for her so we could stop spending money there too.
I can't believe the price differences are so much sometimes.
