DD fell face first off a bench at swimming on Saturday. Totally my fault - I thought she could sit there for a minute while I shoved our crap into a locker (b/c I didn't want to put her on the dirty rubber matted floor), but no. She started kicking her legs and that was that. Face plant on the rubber mat. She was upset for a couple of minutes, but settled down. Her cheek was all scraped up.
We've been putting aquaphor and neosporin on it all weekend and it seemed like it was getting better. She hasn't seemed to be too bothered or upset by it. My mom came to get her today as usual and said "you need to put ice on this, her cheek is all swollen."
I don't want to do anything today. DD continues to not sleep well and I am exhausted. I really need to clean and organize some things while I have a few days off but I just want to be lazy.
Why is it ok to say "damn it" on the radio, but "God damn it" gets censored, leaving only the actual swear word? What about separation of church and state GOD DAMN IT!? #irrationallyannoyed
Since I was OOT I didn't get the memo that today is school pictures at daycare, and H didn't tell me. So C is wearing a Halloween shirt and sweatpants and P is in some wrinkly old one piece thing.
I am not sure yet, maybe next week? At my old job, you could only start on the first and third Mondays of each month to simplify payroll, so we will see.
I am relieved, but unsure of things at the same time. I am glad to at least take some time off from job searching, and my new title has Manager in it (although I am the only one doing this, so I manage only me!) I was thinking that will look good for future opportunities.
This whole thing has been awful, so I am glad to mentally step away and move on with life.
I do think we might end up moving in a couple of years for more opportunities, but it feels so much better to ponder it on my own without being forced into a decision.
Omg. I am at 90% of my data already and have 8 days left in my billing cycle. This is the 3rd month this has happened. I have to stop using my phone when I am out.
I have a weirdo problem. In that I can attract them from miles around.
I went to get a massage yesterday (side note - I need to treat myself to these more than once a year). Two other women, friends I'm assuming, were waiting with me. Their masseuses came to get them and one was having trouble with one of their names. Asked how to pronounce it. The woman said something that sounded like Mmmfhaplay. The poor masseuse attempted again. Again, the woman said it and it sounded like a decidedly French mumble. I'm intrigued at this point. What is the name?!?! Finally the woman decided to enunciate and lose whatever affectation she was trying to use and said her name was Morgan.
A woke up vomiting last night. She is home today. My husband is with her, and trying to get back up care to send him someone. It is almost 11 he called at 7. If he doesn't get them I will relieve him half day, but that is in a half an hour so I kind of need to know.
So, as I totally expected, doc doesn't think he has silent reflux. I have to try some stuff and go back. Essentially, she's not a fan of drugs for the sake of drugs and doesn't want to give him Prevacid if he doesn't need it. I get that. But motherfucker I also need some fucking sleep.

Is this a GI? What type of symptoms does the baby have?
My Pedi didn't think it was silent reflux at first. I had to convince her and then take the baby to a GI.

She's a family doctor. Essentially she doesn't think he has silent reflux...his belly isn't hard/distended, he cries when he is sitting up, not just lying down, his symptoms aren't consistent...probably some other stuff too, I got frustrated and stopped listening I think, lol. I go back again Wednesday and will come prepared with questions. I am just frustrated because he is in pain. She wants me to keep using the Oval/Infantcol but I don't think it is doing enough.

My phone keeps randomly disconnecting from my wifi and it's pissing me the hell off!
That happens me to me too, except I don't even know it is happening until my phone asks me to join our house wifi. Wtf???

And now I feel like a shitty mother.
What? Getting a kid to put ice on anything for any period of time longer .00005 of a second, is hilariously impossible. You are NOT a shitty mother.
Ha, I can only imagine. I told my mom I felt bad and in the next breath she said "oh, don't worry. it's going to happen a lot, this is part of being a kid." So I guess I'm gearing up for that. I just feel like I'm sometimes a little too breezy with her.
H texted me that there was another shooting threat at his university. Second one this year. They canceled classes last time, and while I was relieved they did it at the time, I told H that doing so probably only encouraged another student to do it when they want to get out of class. While I know that it is probably just an empty threat, I will admit that I have been on edge all morning, and my stomach dropped when I saw the text.

Silent Reflux is so hard to identify. My baby never had a hard/distended belly so I am not even sure why that is a must. Does he arch his back during feedings? How does his feedings go? DD would not bf well and only took a 1-2 ounces at a time. What about Hiccups? It does take a few days for the reflux meds to take effect.

He has soooo many of the symptoms but my doc said they are just general symptoms of digestive issues, not necessarily GERD. One of the issues is that I haven't been good at tracking everything and it seems like his symptoms are all over the place...sometimes he eats less, other days he eats more. Now she has me on a plan and I need to record stuff for two days, including what I eat, then I go back.
