katietopaz I just saw a video about “the salad” on Facebook! I’m feeling bitter it’s so far away from me 😂 I think you need to do it, for science. Well, I've tried just about everything else, so why not? 😂 I hear they sell bottles of the dressing, which is apparently where the secret ingredient is. Maybe I should pick up some of the bottles to ship out to you guys? Also, I hope the secret ingredient isn't castor oil or something equally awful. Something about the balsamic vinegar is what the video said. It showed a woman doing a shot of it. I don’t think I could do that!

LOL the article I read specifically said that you can’t get it by the bottle anymore but the secret was to ask for it in a plastic to-go container 😂

I'm also surprised that you and ArielMermaid both immediately knew what I was talking about. Then again, a Google search tells me that this made the rounds on various morning shows, Scary Mommy, etc.

katietopaz, I think it’s understandable that you want your mom to get as much baby time as she can. I was the same way when DD was born and I wasn’t sure if I wanted my mom in the delivery room with me, so she came early just in case. It’s hard with family living so far away, and if I remember right yours live a lot farther than mine does. Hopefully it isn’t too much longer...maybe that salad will work. Or you can always ask yianna to do a special call out thread for you. The babies seem to listen to her. 🙂

BIL just posted on Facebook that he was diagnosed with Influenza B today. He was at MIL's yesterday (he wore a mask). I have zero interest in going to MIL's on Sunday for Easter now. I'm sure it's OTT, but I have ZERO INTEREST in the flu going through our house right now.

Luckily H is on my side with this one and also all nope nope nope octopus. We tend to have things linger for forever because there's four of us "infected" because it just keeps getting passed. I can deliver anytime over the next 5 weeks. SO MUCH DO NOT WANT.

Maybe I’m ott too, but I also think that bil should have stayed home if he was wearing a mask. I don’t really put a lot of faith in them keeping germs from other people.

Showing up in a mask is clearly just asking for attention IMO. FOLLOW DAYCARE RULES PEOPLE.

katietopaz I heard about the salad! You need to try it!! We had N's first ped appointment today. Her bili level is just under the cutoff for lights and she's lost 6oz. So we have to go back tomorrow to have both rechecked. We also went on our first walk to my parents. I love the city mini double soooo much.

Thank you auri ❤️ It definitely gets tricky when family lives far away. I'm sorry you run into that, too, it's hard. We knew the timing wasn't a for sure thing when my mom booked her flight, but I will just keep hoping that it happens soon. And remind myself to be thankful for the time we do have, including the extra time she's getting to love on DS1 while we're playing the waiting game!

He thought it was just allergies/sinus issues due to Michigan not being able to make up it's mind re: the weather (which I get, my sinuses are a mess from mid-September to mid-May basically), but wore the mask to be safe in case it was something more. But I doubt he washed his hands enough for the mask to matter.

cp3 how did L's appointment go this morning? It went really good. She gained and is up to 6 pounds from 5 lbs 13 oz last week. We have another weight check on Friday but they were happy with this gain.

We had newborn photos today and they came out great! She shows us them in studio and we picked the best 50 for a USB and I also ordered announcements and some canvas prints. Both girls did so good and she even got one with the baby smiling. And I don't hate the way I look in the family pictures. I can't wait until we get the finished images.

Well I just got back from the pediatrician. We called this afternoon about the lip/tongue tie and as it turns out, my pediatrician specializes in tongue ties. Luckily they had an opening today so in we went. I thought I was being crazy (as I tend to be in these first few weeks) but she agreed with me especially when I talked about the pain while nursing and that I couldn’t get L to open his mouth well. So she clipped the tongue tie. Nursing is already going better - I can at least get him to fully open his mouth now!! I figure it will take a few days to break his early bad habits.
For the lip tie she referred us to an ENT. I think we will schedule that soon since she also agreed he had restriction in movement from the lip tie.

sunshinedaisies, I'm glad you were able to get in to your pediatrician and get it fixed. Hopefully you don't have to wait too long to see the ENT. I decided tonight was my last night of band practice. It was going to be next week, but I found out that the school DD is going to next year is having a meeting for uprising Kindergarten parents. A couple of ladies in the band made me cry tonight because they got me some gifts for the baby. Also one of them gave me her number and told me she'd be happy to watch DD if we need her to. It really makes me glad that I found this group.

I have my final prenatal appointment this morning. This will be my last one ever. It's kind of hard to believe. Been a long road the past 6+ years with a lot of prenatal appointments in the mix. A little bittersweet to think about it all.
We have some Easter shopping to do and will go out to eat for lunch and that's it. Not much else planned for the day.

Night of the leaking fluids over here last night. L peed out of his diaper twice and I woke up to a giant wet spot on my boob.

We have a drs appointment in a bit to recheck N's bili levels and weight. Fx that her bili levels dropped so we don't have to do the light therapy.
I've decided to make my Mil a fake FB page so she can see the pictures we post because otherwise she doesn't. I'm not taking the time to send them all to her. I'm sure I'll regret this

I can’t decide if I want a dockatot bc I actually think it will be helpful or bc it’s just trendy 😂
Has anyone used one?

My husband had 1.5 weeks off starting tomorrow after 4:00. I am excited. He is definitely going to be put on night duty a couple times so I can get some restful sleep. There also will be some family around for extra help. cornpop I hope N’s bili levels come back okay.

We are taking DD1 to school today for the first time since baby has been born. We kept talking to her about it since yesterday and she's excited to go so I'm hoping drop off goes smoothly.

I’m also not convinced they’re safe. LOL I just went through their website and it says it should be used next to a semi-alert adult in bed but the adult down not need to be awake. Please explain to me how you can be both. I’m not the most dedicated to ALL the rules about safe sleep (we occasionally coslept and also used the RNP as needed) but this just seems dumb. I’m not going to lie though, I think my toddler would do really well in the big one... but I’m not about to spend that kind of $$$$ for her haha
