So, my H just booked us a hotel in Door County, WI for spring break. I had been talking about doing something for over a month, and finally kind of gave up on it because he is impossible to make plans with sometimes. I figured we would just do something around here or in the city. Then earlier this week his buddies call to let him know that they are coming into town for a Twins/Cubs game in June and I kid you not, within a day he's arranging kick-ass tickets, where to stay, where to eat...the whole nine. Guys, if looks could kill, my husband would be dead. Let's just say I will be fully enjoying my quaint little getaway at the end of this month. Dinner, fancy ice cream shops, boutiquey things...we're doing it all 😉 Oooh. I've heard good things about Door County. IIRC, the scenery is beautiful. Have you ever been? Please take pics.

I just got out of our 401k committee meeting and our financial advisor asked me to email him info about where I got my necklace bc he wants to get one for his wife. I thought that was sweet! Oh, my necklace has my kids’ initials. Can you show me a pic? I’m looking to get sonething made w either the initials or date or names. Obv this is mirror image since it’s a selfie but you get the idea

Love all these little girl room color schemes! We are doing L's now, as you may know. I'm going soft and simple since she's too young to tell me what she wants and is such a girlie girl. Soft tan walls, dusty rose/blush bedding, chandelier. Going with blush and super soft gold accents. The dresser will have a pretty floral wallpaper on the drawers if all goes well! I figure it'll be easy to change up the accent colors as she develops preferences!

I love pastels for little girls b/c as they get older they usually want the brighter, more intense hues. I've toyed with the idea of something Lilly-inspired but will probably keep it soft for the next few years and then change it up sometime in elementary school. I saw this the other day and thought it was SO pretty. I might have to buy it and hoard it

I think you need to get in touch with MH. Yesterday he sent me incessant questions about the Lion King. What were his questions? He didn’t understand the relationship between Simba and Nala and their moms. He also thought Nala was a Tiger because he’s an idiot. He asked me questions over the weekend too and C finally yelled “ugh Dad, you just don’t get it!”

I’m listening to the worlds most boring lawyer talk about employee disputes. They don’t have coffee out. I may fall asleep.

Not that we're in danger of wearing it anytime soon, but I just had B try on a few things from last spring/summer to see what fits. Answer: one polo. Looks like I have some shopping to do. eta: does anyone here shop from Mini Boden? Any idea how they run? C is just moving into 24 mo. sizes so I'm wondering if size "2/3 year" would work for later this spring/summer. I just bought a pinney for N in 18-24m on my buy/sell/trade fb group and it seems pretty long. Otherwise I am looking for 2-3 for N for summer. The boys stuff seems TTS as well, I look for 5-6 for j.

It's a goal of mine to add some more throughout my house.

So Jack has his third ear infection in 2 months. And pink eye. My pediatrician doesn't want to do tubes because ear infections normally taper off at this time of year. Would you get a second opinion? I'm waiting for the clinic we always have to take him to after hours and on weekends to send me his records to see how many he's had in a year. The pediatrician is seeing a skewed version of his records because I only take him there about half the time because so many happen after hours.

flamingo I’ve bought a couple things from Boden and would agree it runs a little big. I haven’t bought swimwear though so I can’t say how that is.

I was going to have to do nonstress tests twice a week starting at 32 weeks and I was so overwhelmed with the huge list of appointments I had to schedule!

Fluid can hang out for months after each infection. You could always ask to go to an ENT and let them give their opinion. I wouldn't go to another pediatrician.

How old is he again & how much does he weigh? H was on 2.5ml and last month we upped it to 5. He is 8 months. 2 months ago he was 16.5 pounds. He’s probably about 18 pounds now. He should be fine with 2-2.5ml but obviously ask your pedi.

cagoldi what is involved in that? Is it very different from a non-stress test?

I was going to have to do nonstress tests twice a week starting at 32 weeks and I was so overwhelmed with the huge list of appointments I had to schedule! That's basically it. The testing itself is fine but it takes an hour - 90 minutes drive time each way. I have that, my OB, my high risk OB, my infusions. It's just too much.

Can you just make an appointment for the ENT yourself? I agree with tallb about checking out his hearing. FTR, my ENT said the same thing with M. Her hearing was fine, and the EI always cleared up with antibiotics. So no tubes for her.

Same thing except besides the heart monitoring they do an ultrasound once a week to check my fluid and the heart structures. The only reason I have to go is because of my positive titers for Sjogren's and lupus. The antibodies can cross the placenta and lead to a specific heart defect. And IIRC, they want to check the blood flow to the placenta because of my elevated anti phospholipid antibodies, because those can lead to a clot that causes late-term miscarriage.

peachsmama they'll check for other things, too. Like our ENT said his adenoids and tonsils were enlarged and discovered his sinuses were full of pus and blood.

B never had an ear infection that we're aware of, but when we met with the ENT his ears were FULL of goop. Bleh. I'd ask for an ENT referral from his normal pedi.
