Remember when E went to the Dr and was constipated but the Dr thought it might be her appendix? The U/S the Dr ordered at Children's Mercy is going to cost me $600.
I feel like crying. If I have to use the sick hours ever again I am asking for anyone else other than this Dr. I think what she recommended was way overboard.
PT is so frustrating. C can do it--I know he can. He pees and/or poops before nap and bedtime as a stall tactic and is so proud of himself when he does. But if you say anything about "do you need to go potty?" during the day he flips out and refuses. So basically, 1) he does not want to do anything unless it is HIS idea and 2) he only wants to go potty when the alternative is doing something that is even less fun to him (so, sleeping). Thoughts?
This is normal. It takes time. And bribes. Not asking him to go but rewards when he tells you he needs to go.
She is out of surgery. It went well - they got most of it and sent it off to pathology. They're not sure what it is and the surgeon said he didn't want to scare us, so now obviously I'm scared. I am praying it's not cancerous. I'm terrified that it's not benign. We have to call the office and make a follow up appointment in two weeks.
She also cut her third tooth last night!
I'm glad she did well! Keep us updated. Thinking of you.
cricketwife - I don't know if the same would hold true for STD, but my last job's HR department was *horrible*. They randomly dropped my insurance at least once a year (including three times while I was pregnant, the last time being resolved a week or so before I delivered). Every time it happened, the insurance was activated retroactively to when it was supposed to have started, so everything in that timeframe was still covered. It just meant a huge chunk of money was taken out at one time to cover the missed premiums. Hopefully the same will be true for you and it will be in effect from when you submitted the paperwork.
Yay! I talked to my HR person who is FABULOUS and she got it corrected right away. My August paycheck will have all the deductions since April but STD isn't that expensive so it's not a huge deal. Now I just need to get/be pregnant so I can use it!! I'm just relieved to know I'm covered!
Brie N will ONLY poop 15 minutes after we put him to bed. Regardless if bedtime was 8pm or 10:30pm. He only poops 1x per day, so we just go with it. It's a direct trip to the bathroom, no playing around, and then straight back to bed.
He also doesn't like to be asked to use the toilet, but I do tell him he needs to use it before we leave to go somewhere. Asking vs. telling makes a difference to him, apparently.
DD woke up at 6am and had peed through her pull up. She asked for snuggles so I brought her to bed with us. Mistakes as that never works. By 7am I had her parked in front of the tv watching DT so I could go back to bed. I convinced DH to take her to daycare this morning and I was able to sleep in until 10. Needed that as I have been up half the night the last two nights with racing thoughts and anxiety. I have not been staying on top of my meds like I need to.
It is supposed to be the hottest day of the year today so I'm staying inside with the AC blasting. Have a work meeting to go to at 2 but can veg a bit more til then.
Brie it is all about the bribes for the first few weeks. DD gets 4 M&Ms if she tells us she needs to go and then does it. She gets 2 M&Ms all the other times. She hates being asked to go so we avoid it at all costs, but it has to be done when we need to leave the house. The bribe for #2 right now is ice cream. She has been doing it in her pants since we PT'd and we are trying to break that habit.

Have you tried just telling him it is time to go potty instead of asking? I don't know wtf I'm talking about because I haven't potty trained a toddler so don't listen to me. I just read one thing on the internet about potty training this one time and it said that you just have to tell them it's time to go because if you ask them they will always say no.
I am 9 days in to successful PT with my almost 2.5 year old, and we prompt like this as well. He will tell me he needs to pee/poop about half the time. He is really into telling me he needs to poop. Otherwise, I tell him it's time to go potty at intervals, after he wakes up, before we go out, before nap, etc.
I figure, I put his shoes on, get him dressed, wipe his face, brush teeth, etc by telling him it's time to do these things, so potty is just one more personal care thing I am helping him through right now.
When he woke up this morning, he made a bit of a fuss about using the potty, but he sat down 2 minutes later and did an enormous pee. He is starting to be dry overnight and during naps as well, so clearly the kid needs to go when he wakes up.
I am an idiot. I was driving into a car wash and right as I entered the code to go in, a bee flew in my window. So I was distracted and didn't turn quite tight enough and scraped a pole and now my whole right front end is damaged. I am so mad at myself.

Whyyyyy won't my sleeper take a nap today!? Omg I'm going to go crazy. I actually wanted to do stuff during naptime today. On a similar note, I messed up a freaking anchor for the curtain rod I was trying to hang. Ugh. I've had the stuff for weeks and was sick of waiting for H to do it and I just want to start having stuff put away. Now I have to wait for him anyway. Ugh.
