I may or may not have bribed E to eat broccoli tonight by letting her put salt on it. But she did eat the most of any vegetable I’ve ever seen, so I’m releasing it.

Working from home starting at 6am this morning. I have a long to do list for today that has nothing to do with work. I need these wfh days to keep up with everything else in my life. On another note, the coming home outfit I ordered for D came in. It’s so cute and tiny!

cookswithwine I definitely use WFH days to take care of house stuff too. I'm actually doing that today. I have a pile of laundry and I have to clean up the kitchen before I have a panic attack from looking at the counters. I really need to hire a cleaning lady soon. We also have our consultation with the Ortho today to talk about baby girls foot.

I’m at the GI with M. Then I’ll drop her off at school and head to work....after I hit up a couple more CVS stores for cheap wine.

We’re still here. Our appt was at 8:30. 🙄
Now we’re waiting for lab work to check her thyroid levels.

L had speech playgroup this morning! I’m feeling like MOTY right now! Both of us with a cold, I’m exhausted and all I want to do is eat scones and muffins and read Jane Austen. ( tgrimes already told me I was weird, I’m living into it 😂) I’m going to try to talk my boss into giving me tomorrow off if nobody signs up for my pre-team class! sarahwithanh, that’s so awesome! I may need a list of those YouTube channels! L knows yellow (it’s his favorite) and blue!?! He has no interest in numbers at all! I’m excited to hear what else Monty knows that he’s hiding! Lol Also: Happy May Firth!

The GI wants to start cutting back the reflux meds. So we'll start 1/2 tablet every day. If she doesn't vomit on this dose for 8 weeks, then we'll go to every other day. If she has any vomit we'll go back to dosing her. If she has to be on the meds for a year, then they'll do an endoscopy.
For now, we keep the miralax dose because her poop is level 3 normal. I'd like to get her off it, but she obviously needs it.
She'll contact me with the results of the thyroid testing.

TMI alert The highlight of my day was when M had to use the bathroom while we were in the exam room waiting for the doctor. The potty was only a few rooms away and I let the nurse know we were going in there, just in case the dr came looking for us. She had to poop. THey have one of those water conservation toilets where you lift up for liquid and push down for solids. It would not flush. I tried at least 10 times. M was freaking out. She wouldn't let me go ask the nurse for a plunger. She was too embarrassed to let anyone see her poop, etc. So guess what I had to do... I had to scoop her poop out of the toilet and put it in the trash. M: What are you doing? Me: Well you won't let me go ask for help so this is how we're going to handle it. M: That's gross, Mommy. Me: I'm aware, dear. M: Are you going to wash your hands? Me: ......

Eating scones, muffins and reading Jane Eyre is perfectly acceptable.

Also I just watched the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt episode where she uses the European dating on an invitation and there's 2 galas on the same night. #relevant

We are still dealing with sickness. My chest still hurts and now I'm getting a cough so that is super duper painful. I'm running on autopilot and caffeine at this point.

The appointment went fine. Not much new information from what I learned on Google. They will do an exam after she's born to see if it's actually a club foot, then within a couple weeks we would start the casting process. I'll be weekly casts for 6 weeks then wearing a boot for sleep for up to 4 years to maintain it. I think we're going to try to meet with one more doctor too. Not so much as a second opinion but because it's a different hospital system and the location is closer and more convenient for weekly visits with a newborn. I remember how hard it was getting out of the house with C so I can only imagine adding a kid.

Is there anything you can take? I've tried taking some Naproxen but it doesn't ease it at all. I don't know what's causing it so it's hard to fix it.

So at lunch time I got a text from my friend and former co-worker asking me for my resume. I sent it to her and then she called me and told me to call her boss. I spoke with him about a job opening and then he asked me to come in for a face to face interview tomorrow.
So that's happening.
I'm not entirely sure what the new job is. It's part of a supply chain and it's on the Microsoft campus, but it's not for Microsoft. But the pay range is ~20K more than I make now. So, yeah.
