Probably a post and run, but I will get things started.
I've been waiting 25 minutes to pick up the new guy that I'm training. He said he was on his way down from the hotel room, but he's not responding to my texts. I told him 9 am yesterday. WTF dude.
Oh man ewall, not a good sign! You'd think he would be on his best behavior until he's not new anymore!
Milo lost some more weight We went to the allergist last week, and he is definitely allergic to milk, eggs, and peanuts. So our doctor told us to get him special soy-based formula to use instead of milk to get him to gain weight. He had one sip of the formula this morning and threw up everywhere
My doctor's visit yesterday confirmed that I've lost 7 lbs in the last two months or so. The shitty doctor I saw yesterday didn't even notice, though. Yesterday was my second terrible appointment with her. I hate looking for new specialists, but I really don't want to have any sort of treatment done with her so I think it's time to start looking. Ugh.
Sorry about Milo's allergies, katiek, that must be stressful.
katespade I am sorry you are having a hard time with your doctor!
ewall I would totally leave the new guy, how rude to be so late!!
@emtmissy yay for vacation soon!!
I am so annoyed at work. The heat is broken, as in, it is blasting continuously all day and can't be turned off or down. It's currently 77 in my office, and steadily climbing. I really cannot function!! It's almost 70 degrees outside, so there is no need for it to be on in the first place! Ugh.
katiek poor Milo, and poor you I'm so sorry he has the allergies and now seems to struggle with the formula. I know nothing about formula, but are there any flavors you could add to make it more appealing? Like a dairy free chocolate syrup or something? I guess it's good that you were diligent about peanuts though. You protected him in advance
@stargazer has anyone else talked to your sister to verify she's okay? I'd send a text or call. If she gets annoyed that you care that's on her.
ewall so when did newbie finally show up? Was he all hungover?
katespade *hugs* why the new doctor again? I thought you finally found one you really meshed with.
amaranth I'm pretty sure she is okay since she recently posted pics on fb from her new house. I talked about my H a bit last time we talked on the phone, and she has an aversion to that. I think she needs time to recover from it or something. She developed a dislike of my H ever since I stopped being a doormat to her. I think she blames him for me changing, but really it's because I'm a grown-ass adult now that doesn't want to be treated like a child lol.
I downloaded Google Chrome yesterday, and now I can see gifs again! My IE didn't let me see gifs for almost a year.

ewall- how rude of newbie to keep you waiting, especially while ignoring your texts. I would have just left him. Hopefully he improves on his reliability and the transition goes much smoother from here on out!
katiek- Poor Milo I hope you guys can figure out some way to help him gain weight. ((hugs)) I can only imagine how stressful and frustrating that is.
@moonbeam- I would call or text. Hopefully you hear from her and she's not annoyed.
katespade- ((hugs)) I have no patience for bad doctors. I hope you can find a better specialist that you feel comfortable with and is a good fit for you soon!
Busy day here! Went for our walk this morning, grocery shopping and baby story time after nap, made great progress on C's birthday party, and now hanging out here while C naps!
We also had such a fun day yesterday, between going to DH's work so they could meet C and hanging out with my HS BFF, her son, mom, her good friend and daughter (both babies are 18 months old so it was fun to see C hanging out and playing with them!)! Looking forward to many more playdates when we move close to them!
Also, we had a broker come look at our house yesterday...it's actually for her family. I really hope they loved it and make an offer! Oh, and I went out to greet them (since we were leaving and weren't supposed to be there so I thought I would let them in) and our neighbor (the one we have so many issues with) was chatting it up with them. It was so awkward...I hope they didn't catch on to that and hope even more that he can just leave us and our potential buyers alone from now on! In other house news...we need to talk to our agent about the referral agent for new city...we haven't heard anything since she left to be with her daughter a week ago (except that daughter is ok and agent is home...all from our agent here)...I think this agent is too busy and not a good fit for us.
((katiek)) Finding a formula that worked for us and didn't make G throw up was so hard. I'm so sorry you are going through that.
katespade I hope you can find a new specialist. It is not worth working with one you don't like.
G and I have had a full day. Did errands all day (10-4) with MIL. Just made it home. I really wanna relax and take off my bra but we have a friend from out of state coming over tonight. It will be nice to see him but I wish we could have seen him on the weekend rather then weekday. Oh well.

Ugh. A department at my work is being eliminated (the department my friend is in and where my favorite boss moved to). It doesn't affect me but makes me feel less secure in my job. Plus now I'm not going to be moving anywhere because these people will be applying for jobs in other areas. I'm glad it wasn't us but still. So frustrating and sad. I'm sick of this!
Big hugs katespade, it's so hard to find a doctor that you mesh with. Our doctor is a 45 minute drive away because I refused to switch when we moved. Not risking getting a terrible one!
Thank you so much for the support, everyone. We have an appointment with a dietitian next week, so hopefully she has some ideas. He gagged on the formula again this evening H tasted it and said it was the most bitter thing he's ever tasted, even more so than black coffee. So now I really don't know what to do, because how am I going to get Milo to like that?! The doctor said it's a hard taste to get used to, but eww. (FTR, this is some special kind of formula, I'm not saying all formula is gross)
katiek that does sound gross. I'm sure most formula isn't that great either (I think it smells like bad milk) but to make it that bitter is sad I hope he can keep it down!

Thanks! Today we diluted it to 1/4 of the normal powder amount, and he took a few sips!
