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. I’d go to an ent and get their opinion

cagoldi what is involved in that? Is it very different from a non-stress test? 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. Love tit for support. All of that sounds incredibly taxing, not just from a logistics stand-point but also in terms of the concerns for baby. We are quite the trio...me, you, and wineallthetime. These better be the easiest babies ever.

I've been running numbers all day. The numbers correlate properly with the spreadsheet, but every time I add them up I get a different total than the spreadsheet. It's annoying. The attorney told me to have someone else run them to see if they get the same overage I'm getting. That made me even more annoyed.

what a pain! 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. Ugh, I'm exhausted just reading this and thinking of trying to figure out how to work it all in your schedule plus manage 2 kids. I'm sorry you have to stack something else on your plate.

It's just making me anxious like I can barely fit in all this stuff, how am I supposed to get everything ready around the house?!
I'm really not worried about P, I think she'll be fine.
I'm in nesting mode now but so tired I can't get to anything. I asked Pete to organize the medicine cabinet last night and I saw real fear in his eyes. He knows that I could give him a weird project at any moment.

My Sinny Bear is done with surgery! He only needed two extractions and he's in recovery now. And his thyroid checked out fine today so no problems there!

Contractions are picking up, but I think they're triggered by a gush of fluid. MH is home until after work tomorrow so hopefully they settle down so I don't have to call him back.

I hope they calm down. So you had another gush of fluid? Yeah, they said that's normal though! I think it's mostly out but normal to keep having some big gushes. It happened the other night too.

Some a-hole has been parking in front of my house for weeks. It's really annoying me because he rarely moves the car, just permanently parked it right in front of my house where I usually park. This person has nearby options that wouldn't be in front of anyone's house to park the car. Well, spring has sprung and some birds carpet bombed his car with about 50 deuces. Poetic justice.

wineallthetime I hope the contractions slow down! Stay put baby Wine! inthekitty I'm always creeped out when people park in front of our house, like I walk outside and get license plate info, just in case. We don't live in a neighborhood where many people park in the street though, so it stands out when it happens. Yesterday, I received notification that someone rang our doorbell. Pulled up the Ring and could see some guy walking down my driveway, looking back up at the house as he was walking. His car was parked across the street, he walked to it, got in and sat with the door open for probably 30 seconds. I took a screen shot of the car. He then turned around and parked on our side of the street, but closer to the neighbors house and went to talk to them. I posted the picture of his car on our neighborhood FB page, just because I'm that paranoid.

I know it must feel very stressful to have these extra appointments piling on everything else you have to get done on a daily basis. Hang in there.

mwhip I live in a neighborhood with a ton of row houses and my area has really small, borderline non-functional garages. But everyone has driveways so we park one car there and one in front of the house. It's just rude to park in front of someone else's for a prolonged period of time. I would be alert in that situation in your neighborhood too. Anything that is out of the ordinary gets my attention. Last night I was creeped out because a girl who was probably 12-14, but could have been a young looking adult, rang our door bell. When I was walking up to the door her face was plastered to the frosted glass of our door. The girls always race to the door so they were right there. She immediately looked to the girls and asked how old they were and if they could play with her. I ushered the girls away and said no. She started rambling on and all the while is obviously trying to look behind me and scope out my house. I don't know if she was pretending to be SN, actually was SN, or something else. I don't really care what her excuse was because it she was completely inappropriate. I cut her off, told her to go home, shut the door in her face and drew all of my blinds. Our neighborhood is normally really safe but that gave me the creeps.

inthekitty that is really weird about someone coming by! We don't even answer the door unless we are expecting someone. Fortunately Evie has learned to look out a window to see if we know who is at the door before answering. I'm apparently tracing my kid the same anti social skills I have mastered!

Post nap potty training has not been successful. We have had both a pee and poop accident, at least the poop was on the tile. Since she pooped S is walking around saying “yuck! Yuck!” and begged me to put a diaper back on her. So we’re tabling this for a couple days since we won’t be home tomorrow.

inthekitty my neighbor’s daughter parks in front of my house and it drives me insane for some reason. There is zero reasons for her to not park in front of her own house. I hope whoever is parked in front of your house leaves soon.

Antisocial +2 over here mwhip! I was very relieved the girls didn't attempt to answer the door. Usually the only person who comes by is my friend who lives in the neighborhood and sometimes if it's the summer some of the neighborhood kids stop over asking the girls to play. I know all the kids in the nearby area and she doesn't live here unless she's brand new. Never seen her at the park or the bus stop. My mind went to does she have a boyfriend who is meanwhile in the alley and trying to sneak in the backdoor while she distracts me with her nonsense rambling? Paranoid, I know. Our door is mostly solid with the top area decorative frosted glass, but I might get some sort blinds to cover it even though it wouldn't look great. People peeping in my windows--kids or not--is no bueno to me.

Fortunately Evie has learned to look out a window to see if we know who is at the door before answering. I'm apparently tracing my kid the same anti social skills I have mastered! LOL. I'll sit on your anti-social bench. But not too close, obviously, and we don't have to speak At our first house here in VA, we had a very...ahem, persistent neighbor who had a young son. They loved playing with our dog, which was fine if we were at the park or out in the yard. But then they started knocking on the front door to see if we would let the dog out (which of course meant we had to go out to supervise, converse, etc.) Annoying. One day I had the front door open so it was just the storm door closed, and they came up and knocked...and kept knocking for several minutes. I didn't answer and of course the dog was going nuts and I'm cowering in the dining room trying not to be seen. Next thing I know the dad comes up to the window of the enclosed sun porch, like he was trying to see inside! So at this point I'm on the floor and simultaneously laughing at the ridiculousness of it and also irritated that I was literally a hostage in my own home. After that I kept the front door closed basically at all times.

OMG flamingo! I call totally picture that scenario, myself doing the same thing, and am laughing/cringing/horrified. Ugh. Some people have no effing social skills. How can you not know not to do that?!? A lot of the neighborhood kids like playing with our dog, but thankfully haven't been annoying enough to knock on our door and expect us to take her out to them, and *shudders* socialize.

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. How's his speech? 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. His speech is great. DH is against surgery even though I told him how simple it is. I had tubes twice as a kid. I remember the second time and it was no big deal to me.
