fashionx, my bleeding post-mirena has slowed down a bit over the last week. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since I got it. I'm still spotting, but I only need a liner as opposed to the pad I needed the past couple weeks. My nurse said to expecting bleeding/spotting off and on for like 6 months, oy.
We had C's 3 year well check today and everything is in order. He is 36 lbs and 38" tall which means he gained 3.5 pounds and 4 inches in the last year.
I AM SO JEALOUS HE CAN NOW GO ON THE MINE TRAIN chickens987
If you've retiled a bathroom - does it stink for a while afterwards? I'm trying to figure out if the tile/grout/sealant is off gassing or if the toilet didn't get placed correctly. It is...foul.
It shouldn't smell foul. Sounds like something is not quite right to me.
My keurig bit the dust a few months ago (like a week before E was born). It was tragic, I've had it 5 years. I finally got around to buying a new coffeemaker today (Texas folks, from HEB, haha) and am now enjoying a cup of decaf coffee.
This was a necessity prior to starting work again next week.

There is a mom I vaguely know through babywearing meetings. By all measures, we have a lot in common and could be friends. But...I get the impression she's a total weirdo. She posted asking for stuff to do with her kiddo, then rejected most of the ideas. She won't go to the library because of "aggressive homeless people" and she won't do play groups because she doesn't want to socialize with other moms. I was going to invite her to come with me to baby storytime, but that fails all her criteria. Oh well.
Hugs, we're in the same boat with our youngest. My fx that both grow out if it. What do they have you guys on? Right now we're doing a preventative steroid (Flovent) twice a day, four puffs total, and the singular granules.
He just got diagnosed this afternoon at urgent care so we'll figure this out with his pedi at our follow up.
Do the steroids make A hyper? DS2 gets ants in his pants when he's on steroids and I'd hate for him to be like that all the time.
Hugs! How old is he? My DS1 was diagnosed at 2 and now at 4.5 is much healthier and improving. He still has a hard time with colds and coughs but he now swims and plays sports mostly without issue.
He's only 13mo. I hope he grows out of it.
Our old house (we moved in June) was very old and I developed pretty severe allergies while living there. I can't help but think it's related. It was a rental so we don't know what was lurking behind the walls, you know?
@sessalee, DH is so dumbfounded by the fact that I just don't like sex right now. TTC took the fun out of it for me, then pregnancy hormones and now postpartum. I do it, but it's just not fun and he doesn't get it. At all.
Yeah my H is also perplexed. We've had 'plenty' of sex since she was born, 50% of it I hated and 50% was just meh, but H never understood at all. I guess there's no real way for them to relate. Tonight he did a really good job of building it up, helping me enjoy it, and not asking for it at 10:30 when it's bedtime. That helped.
Our best sex is always at nap time or at like 7:00, as soon as L is asleep.
I like my kid a lot better when we are out and about. He was such a delight today when we were at library story time, the doctors, and shopping. He waves and smiles, blows kisses, and chats to everyone and anyone. He loves people watching and was so patient while I was shopping. He was just a delight! Then we get home and he's a whiny, clingy, crying mess. Why, oh why? I must be boring to him or something.
Ds1 is the same way! I can't wait until I'm brave enough to take them both in an errand in the mornings.

I think that's the key, right after she goes to bed.

We went apple picking this weekend and now we have SO MANY apples. I'm making apple sauce in the crockpot. It looks and smells good. I hope it actually tastes good b/c I don't know what else to do with the apples. I'll find out soon.
I cried about losing one of DD's headbands. It was one I ordered from swizz and she wore it coming home from the hospital. It fell off Monday at the chiropractor's office and as I was driving away I realized it, but thought, no big deal, we will be back Wednesday and I will get it then. Well they didn't have it. I cried in the car afterward. I am usually not sentimental about things, but I was legit crying about this headband.
Aw, which one was it? I'll happily send you a replacement!
I am obsessed with baby headbands. Where do I find these?

For us pulmocort made DS insane. We switched to flovent after 3 days aND had no behavioral issues

We've ended up on prednisone twice and it's so bad. He's hyper and jst well, a two year old on steroids. That's why I'm okay with the Flovent. He has zero side effects and if it can keep him from ending up on oral steroids, I'll do it. I like the singular because I'm 100% confident he's getting all the medicine, versus the puffs, which he sometimes fights. I just mix it with a tablespoon or so of applesauce.
I follow a local photog on IG. She mostly does newborns/families. Today she posted a happy anniversary collage to her husband. I realize they guy looks so familiar. Then through some FB stalking I realize she's married to a sorority sister's ex boyfriend. Said ex was actually at my 21st birthday. And the break up was uh not good.
And I've been in their house when I did a mini session with the photog for Christmas pics!

I should be writing a paper that is due at 8 tomorrow morning. I really do not want to. Ugh. This is why I tried my best to get out of English classes in college previously. Throw some Math and Biology at me, I'm good. English, kill me please.
Something is wrong with MH's computer and it makes such a horrible buzzing noise. It's so annoying and not helping me focus.
I'm a tiny bit irritated work did nothing for my baby. I have organized several mini shower / celebration things for co workers but no one thought of me
I literally have gotten zero gifts for this baby, and I swear I have friends. I guess having a second baby of the same sex is not exciting. I did turn down a few offers for showers (outside of work) so maybe I am not completely hated
Mosy gifts seem to come after the baby is born after #1

Someone just had a thread on apple recipes, and maybe you can find it if you scroll back? But my vote for additional apple ideas is apple crisp. Mmmm.
I just tasted my apple sauce. It's delicious! I can't believe it. I'll just keep making apple sauce until I finish the apples.
I had the worst commute today. A woman ran a stop sign and came within feet of hitting me, or I her. She slammed on her brakes after she realized she had run out of road and was sailing into traffic. I had to slam on my brakes to keep from T-boning her. Then she just sat there blinking at me. I motioned to her to back up but she elected to whip her car around and took off at 70 mph+ and then almost rolled her car going back into her neighborhood.
Then I was behind a car that pulled over to the side of the road so the occupants could get out and scream at each other. I got my cell phone out in case I had to call 911.
I complain about the drivers here all the time but phew this was an extra helping of crazy.
I do not like myself when I am sleep-deprived and stressed out. But I went to yoga today at lunch time and I feel like that reset some deep part of me and like this too shall pass and all that jazz...
DH installed the Radian in his car tonight. I should have recorded it for posterity because it was hilarious.
"This looks like an ejector seat. That's pretty cool."
"It's so heavy. Why is that? Is that bad if we get into an accident?"
"I think you should have bought one of the other ones (Britax) instead. This is complicated."
"No one can sit in the front seat now. It's like I'm an Uber driver."
Thank goodness for The Carseat Lady's videos for installation. It's soooo much easier to read the instructions and then watch the video for reference than use the instructions by themselves.
