Hi August peeps. My random is I’m watching the 13th season of supernatural Going to send a follow up email for a job I interviewed for. Waiting for the CORI to clear was last I heard. I was really exited to start my interpreter training program in September but not my choice it’s starting next year because I am a level/year ahead of where the program is cycling. I just want to get my career on. Anyone else working towards a new career ? Or trying to get a new job ? That’s my professional life status update I guess ! I know this random thread is for babies but I need adult conversation too! I just talked to my husband on the phone during his break about baby solids and poops. I need some adults to not talk about poop and sleep Ok that’s all the randoms in my brain at the moment. I need adult time! I am sort of working towards a career change. I want to transition to college admin which means doing a lot of extra committee work to build up my resume.

Omgosh D. has been in bed for over 4.5 hours already and while she's given a peep twice, both times it literally was just a peep. Normally we would have had 2 wake ups by now. I feel bad even thinking this and I hate that she's unwell but I really enjoyed this unexpected evening to ourselves. That said, I did stay up way too late - it's 1am now - (but it was so nice to be able to catch up some here!) so I best get my ass to bed cause who knows what the rest of the night will bring! Of course she woke up not too long after I posted this.. and was a mess. She didn't fall back asleep till after 3am and was awake again before 7. So tired today! Poor kiddo is just really feeling unwell, so we've kept her home from DC and took it easy with her today.

Just curious.. I know there is a chicken-pox vaccine, is it available in the US/part of the regular vaccine program? It IS available here but not part of the program and not many drs will rx it. Now I'm not sure whether I'd get the vaccine even if it was easily available.. but I was just curious how this is sorted abroad! Yes it's part of our regular vaccines now but I think they either get it at 12 months or 18 months so in wouldn't have helped D anyhow

J has 3 teeth and 2 more are coming in Eczema does suck and is a constant battle. I had a friend sew mittens on long sleeve onesies for him to sleep in otherwise he scratches until he bleeds during sleep. I hate it for him so badly DH and I got into a fight tonight. I already feel like crap thanks to cramps and allergies and I've been crying on and off for the last 2 hours. I feel awful because I was crying when I put j to bed. Dh is currently at dairy queen getting us blizzards to help us both feel better. J is hard core teething and his eczema is so bad right now. I'm going between zyrtec and Tylenol but hate giving them to him. How many teeth does J have right now? Ohhhh I'd like to add that question to the mid July questions lol! cause I'm curious.
Sorry you two got into a fight. DH and I have been getting into stupid little fights lately as well and I don't understand why. Guess maybe we're both just tired and in for a bit of a break.
Poor J, eczema sucks

Ugh D is feeling sooo poorly. And sleep is such a battle right now. She hardly napped so we got her ready for bed at her normal time but she wouldnt calm down and fall asleep. We gave her something around 9.30 thinking it may help her sleep .. she eventually fell asleep at around 11.30 and we both slept till 2am. And she s been a beast since.. so much cryingand she wouldnt even calm down on the boob. Ended up going downstairs at 3something and she has been playing with her car and telling stories since. Also ate some banana. How can she be so awake and playful on so very little sleep while ill is beyond me! I am beat lol I had 3.5h slaap last night and 2.5h this night. Almost 4.30 now and i hope she will fall asleep when we go back upstairs in a bit. At least tis saturday so we wont be woken up at 7 by the noises from the construction going on at the end of our street!

I had a friend sew mittens on long sleeve onesies for him to sleep in otherwise he scratches until he bleeds during sleep. I hate it for him so badly I have a couple onesies with fold away mittens that she wore when she was little. One still fits and i am thinking it may be an idea to let her sleep in it once her chickenpox spots scab so she wont scratch them so bad..

Ugh. It’s my one day off and DH is so sick he asked me to take him to the emergency room. He’s had intense stomach pain since last night and was throwing up every 20min all night. He’s also a Dr. so when he said he needed to go to the ER, I knew we needed to go.
Of course N slept like shit all night and had been a whiny whiny mess since waking up so I was just beside myself trying to wrangle N and DH who can barely walk to the car and ER. Now N and I are stuck in the waiting room bc they won’t allow babies in the back ER rooms. I’m debating calling our nanny bc I feel terrible that DH is alone back there.

I would def call your nanny if you can. Then you wont have to worry about N and can focus on YH. Hope it's nothing to serious! Hugs keep us posted if you can!

@jt2368 king26 yeah he just got the result- appendicitis. I’m glad it’s *just* that and they know. Surgeons are on their way and I had to run home to put N down for a nap and my friend finally answered her phone and is on the way to watch N so I can run back to the hospital and we can figure out what the plan is. Waiting for the plan to then call our nanny to ask her to come back and watch Noah. Can’t leave my friend with him all day bc he doesn’t really know her and he doesn’t do well with strangers these days. He likes them from afar but if I leave him alone he freaks out. He wouldn’t even let our next door neighbor hold him for a few min. Oh well

I hope it goes well and glad you finally got in touch with your friend. Sending all good wishes 💕

jt2378 thanks!! It’s just hard, ya know? Juggling N and DH that could barely walk to the car was stressful. And him being so sick he knew he needed to go to the ER. Luckily my friend has a niece and nephew who are A17 babies so she knows exactly what to do with him. So I am calm about N for a bit. Now idk what to do about tomorrow. Dh will be in the hospital overnight.. Will be having surgery in a few hours. I have to work tomorrow and he was supposed to be off and spend the day with N. Not sure if we should ask our nanny to come and me not use up my benefit time or if I should just call in. Dh says we don’t need the nanny and me at home. I kind of disagree- I think it would be good to have me around and drive him home and spend some time with him and have Gloria focused on N. Thoughts?

I think having the nanny helping N and you helping DH would be smart tomorrow. . He's going to be feeling rough and you don't need to be worrying about them both. If the nanny is willing, I'll have her come. I'm glad they know what it is and that your friend can hang with N for a few hours.

Damn that sucks that your nanny is OOT but I'm glad your friend was able to look after N for a bit. And so sorry to hear YH needs surgery but I'm glad they were able to pinpoint what it was and can take care of it. I hope surgery went well (or is going well) and wishing YH a smooth recovery. So he can come home tomorrow already? So soon these days. Back when (I was 10 orso) I had to stay 5 days in the hospital (though for me it wasn't just my appendix) and my sister also had to stay for a few days - but that was back in 1992 lol so yeah. Iagree with king26, I think it will be easier for you all to have both you and the nanny home at first. You can help YH with whatever he needs (and hopefully catch up on a bit of rest yourself as well, cause no doubt today and tomorrow will be exhausting for you as well) and N will be in the care of the nanny. ♥

Nothing like breaking my heart...i of course caved both times and went I and rocked him...i hope this doesn't become a patyern. D. does this too sometimes and it gets to me every time. Last night she was being held by daddy for a bit and she was crying cause she was feeling so miserable with her fever and all, and at some point she started crying for mama mama mama! I felt so bad for DH! Though no doubt there'll beplenty of times in the future where she'll be all papa papa papa as well.

addymac So sorry your husband is dealing with appendicitis. I hope surgery went well. That sounds so stressful for you- so I hope you can find some extra help while he recovers.
