goldenlove Such a pain in the ass. I’m sorry.

[tgrimes]

I walked M to school and now I’m going through toys to give to my coworker. H had an immunologist appt at 10 and then I’ll head to work.

[starbuck]

goldenlove *hugs* I'm sorry!

Apparently Thursdays are bad traffic days because today sucked and so did last Thursday. I got a text from my boss on my way in letting me know about some org changes. He's moving to a different role and we're getting a new boss. They're also moving our group into a new department with a new manager. They seriously did this before. The name of the new department is almost the same as the one they split up a few years ago. Anyway.. now I have a new boss I have to deal with for the transition stuff I was just complaining about lol.

I have my post partum appt today. I’m still having this intermittent pain on my right side. I started googling last night and was so freaked out I started crying. So that was not productive. I’m hoping the appt goes well and I get some answers. I feel like I’m never going to feel 100% right now

[cookswithwine]

goldenlove my company does the same thing every couple years. I hope your new boss is cool.

I'm sorry you're in pain! I hope you get answers.

goldenlove MH's company does this every single year. He's on his 4th boss in 4 years. It's suuuuper annoying. I hope your new boss is easy to work with on this stuff. And I also hope you aren't there much longer and you can find something better that makes you happy.

[tgrimes]

cookswithwine I hope they can figure out what's causing it!

[cookswithwine]

So the verdict is I pulled a ligament (my fascia). And it won’t be better for another 4 weeks. It hurts like hell. At 2 weeks post partum, O was running from me in a parking lot so I chased him down, picked him up and wrestled him into his car seat. That’s probably when it happened.

Ouch cookswithwine

Damn kids!

[waitwhat]

Damn cookswithwine! That sounds painful.

[goldenlove]

Ouch I'm sorry cookswithwine!!

[elle]

Yikes cookswithwine, that sounds painful. I hope you're able to rest and heal quickly.

I got to the hospital a little earlier than usual today so I'm just snuggling with K right now. She's been doing awesome with the jaw distractions. Dr said she'll probably be done tomorrow! I'm a little worried that she's starting to have reflux issues though. They said she spit up a lot last night so they moved her back to continuous feeds. We were trying to get her back to a schedule. Hopefully we can figure something out. That's really the only thing keeping us here at this point.

[tgrimes]

goldenlove I hope they can get it resolved quickly and she can get on a feeding schedule. H had reflux as a baby. It was not delightful. M has it now but the meds are really helping. ::knocks on all the wood::

(But it's obviously easier to deal with it at her age than it would be as a newborn.)

[starbuck]

I'm "W"FH today.

I forgot how hard it is to figure out what's wrong with a newborn. She was arching her back and making a cry sound (she still doesn't have much of a voice). We gave her a dose of Tylenol and changed her diaper and she's fine now. I can't tell if it's reflux or pain or trying to poop or the dirty diaper. Sheesh.

a little of this, a little of that. Nothing exciting it's kind of a boring day. But at least it's quiet.

The worst part of babies.  WTF is wrong child?

I'm trying to plan a vacation. We were going to do a cruise but now MH doesn't know if he wants to take 4 days off work yet. I'm thinking we might be able to fly to portland and hit up wineries in willamette valley. I have to keep the budget under $2000. Airfard is around $700. If we stay at cheap places and rent a car, I might be able to work it out. You know I will be spending $$$ on food & wine.

I don't really want to drive to San Antonio, Dallas or New Orleans. We could drive to Austin and then hit up some wineries in the hill country. Augh. I need an assistant to do this for me.

I just tried to start my car and it's dead. I think the alternator is bad. It was doing some weird shit this morning but would at least start.

So that's fun.

Are you sure it's not just the battery?  Mine died a couple weekends ago when MH was out of town.

I am not sure lol Dr. Mechanic Google made the alternator seem likely but yes it could def just be the battery. Either way I am annoyed.

For your bank account, I hope it's just the battery and that it is still under warranty.
