I had this with my first. My I mentioned it to my chiro and she adjusted my wrist with her hands and it was an almost instant fix, never flared up again. So that might be another solution if you believe in that sort of thing.
We have a whirlpool fridge with a water dispenser on the inside. Ice make is still in the freezer. We just got it a month or so ago and are enjoying it. We don’t lose any space in the fridge!
Has anyone ever re-glazed a bathtub? Looking for tips, product recommendations, advice, etc. I have a ugly green tub that I would love to change to white before we redo the tile surround.
A little boy who goes to storytime at the library with us has hearing aids. His parents have a hat on him with flaps over his ears. The flaps are mesh or something quite thin.
We both went to college. I will push our kids to have a plan of some kind. I believe that no everyone needs to go to college. Some people have jobs that you don't need to go to college to be successful for. I think our society pushes kids to go to college and people get out of college with no idea of what they want to do and they have thousands in student loan debt and then end up going back to school for something different or taking a great job that they don't need a degree for.

I was induced at 37 weeks for pre-eclampsia and for IUGR. Everything turned out as well as I think it could have. We spent a week in the NICU because of his size but he was never on any breathing treatments or feeding tubes. I bet there is a good chance that you won't need any NICU time and even if you do it probably won't be long.
My induction took a long time (like 36 hours from check in until birth) but they were willing to let me not have a c-section as long as things were going well.
My 4 lb, 4 oz baby is now normal size and is doing great. No lasting issues from birth or from being small.
I would have a hard time paying $100 for 5 hours of babysitting most of which the kids will be sleeping. We use high school kids, so I guess they are cheaper. I guess I would ask what she charges.
He is crawling like a madman! Picked his stomach off the floor in the last few weeks and is getting into everything. Loves to follow big brother around. Pulling up on everything.
What isn't s/he doing?
Not walking yet.
How is everyone sleeping?
Great, I have no complaints! 8:30 pm - 9:00 am, no wake ups
Is LO teething?
No teeth yet. Everyday I think they are going to be coming but still nothing.
How's eating going? Are you nursing? EPing? Formula feeding?
Today is actually the first day I haven't nursed or pumped since he was born, so it is a happy/sad day. Mostly happy though! I have enough BM in the freezer to get him through a year but we added cow's milk around 10 months anyway.
Are you having a first birthday party? What is the theme?
Yes, sent out invitations last week. We are doing a safari/jungle animal theme. We call him our "wildcat" because he screams like a cat when he is happy.
Are you doing 1 year photos?
My SIL will take some pictures of our family sometime in September but not a specific birthday theme, just fall pictures.
Do it. It is worth it! Sleep for everyone is on the other side of a couple of tough nights. As they get older I think it gets harder. What you are doing is best for everyone!
I would guess you would be fine for that amount of time. The NICU had me freeze extra milk in 3 oz (not filled to 3 oz.) bottles during our stay there. I used them a few months later and they were fine.
My DD is 2.5 and can answer why are you crying with "I sad cause daddy tooked the phone away".
In the beginning when she was crying we'd ask her the answer though. Like "are you crying because you're sad?" And she'd say yes. Then, "why are you sad? Because Daddy took the phone away?"
She knows the answers to these types of question are yes/no, so she often just says whichever comes to mind first. Yes/no questions aren't always reliable.
My kid does the same thing. We just discussed it in his speech therapy session last week. The ST said to ask him a question that you know the answer to and then follow it with the answer he will give. "Do you want some milk? Yes" And get him to repeat the answer. And then slowly start to add in the other answer. "Do you want milk, yes or no?" And then eventually you can get to just asking the question. Right now a lot of the time Z just answers a question by repeating the main word of the question or he will just say the second of two answer options no matter if he wants the first or second option.
