Can't believe people said that, nam2013 ! My mom reminds me I was a really big baby. He definitely gets it from my dad's side. Who knows what that will mean for adulthood though? My sister was the tiniest thing and she is 5'10 (like every woman on my dad's side). I never met any food I didn't like and I'm 5'6... S was always fairly large (like 80th % in height and weight) till about 18 months/2 years old, then he started dropping off and now he's on the smaller side. The Dr. was sort of concerned, esp about the height drop off and I was like... have you seen me? Why would you be concerned? (I'm 5'1", and I'm heavy now, but I have what you would call a petite frame and was always TINY growing up, and MH is maybe 5'8" on a good day). I thought it was odd when he kept being on the big side! So while it's weird to me in comparison that B is small, it's sort of what I expected when I had kids!

M will be able to go to school all week. Yes!
About to go pick him up and head to swim lessons. I wish it was longer than thirty minutes because just when he starts having fun, it's time to go.

The tech wasn't supposed to tell me, but she said she didn't see any major obstructions, so I probably won't have answers until tomorrow.

I think my house is haunted. snoopmommymom , and who else was having issues? I often see flashes of light on the baby monitor. Only in S room. S has an intense imagination right now so I nisitake everything with a grain of salt, but he called for me MOTN (which he NEVER does). Before I went in there I glanced on the monitor to make sure he was awake cuz sometimes he talks in his sleep. I saw those flashes of light on his monitor. When I went in there, he was insistent that there were monsters in his room. Like completely adamant. He asked me to lay down with him for a bit and a few minutes later I was thinking that I was going to give it 1 more minute then leave. He pops his eyes open and says "Mommy, if you leave I am going to cry so much". Like he read my mind? He was up and mildly upset for almost an hour. I was up watching him on the monitor for 2 hours. This is not the first time, but usually he is not scared like this. I've had a number of other incidents in the house that I can't remember if I shared with you guys. Out house is well over 100 years old. We had issues years ago. Pete went through the house using his best fire and brimstone preacher impersonation reading Psalm 91 and that was the end of it.

jewels I kept seeing white flashes on my monitor but I figured out they were just car headlights passing on the main road which I'm only 2 houses in from.

wedding I'm sorry C is having such a rough time. It's so hard to see our kids in pain 😢 guster I will add to the list of possible diagnoses....diverticulitis. I've had flare ups of it a few times. It kind of came and went and was a pain on my left side towards the front. I think they did a CT scan to confirm it. Happy to see check ins from a few long lost ladies ladystrat kamakaziartist sands42 !! I'm home from work today. S has had a fever and is congested, snotty, and coughing since Saturday. If she's still struggling tomorrow I will take her to the dr. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

guster a good friend of mine had the same thing you are going through a few weeks ago. She had gallstones once I believe, but was in terrible pain the week of the fourth. She went to urgent care 2-3 times during the holiday. Have been through multiple testing following that and has no answers. I think she's been better lately, but still not normal. I haven't asked her about it in a while, but I'll see if she had any more appointments, etc. Sorry the X-ray didn't show anything or give any answers. I hope the specialist can give you answers.

We're both pretty average size and people are always asking us how we have such big kids. My dad and all his siblings were 9-11 pounds. In the 50's, when babies were generally quite a bit smaller than now.

That reminded me I was asked a couple times to show my "adult companion" sticker at the fair. Apparently Atticus doesn't look like my child.

I think he might be feeling better. He played in his room for two hours and finally just fell asleep. That's more normal...

Tomorrow I'm going to a new salon, for a cut and colour. It's close by so if she is good it'll be my new place. What do I tip? I always tend to over tip but that was at my old long time place. Is 20% too little? Too much?

Sorry C is still having a rough time wedding. A friend of mine's 5 y.o. recently had the same procedure and she said the recovery was terrible, and he was home from school at least a week. I think--in her case anyway--people glossed over everything and she was not prepared for how bad it was. Not sure if that's any consolation but sounds like C's experience is at least somewhat common I have to admit, this was how it was for Carter but was a rough rough time.

lfig, that's what one of the nurses thought today. I'm sure it's something the G.I. doctor will look for. @ladeedah, your poor friend. That pain is really excruciating. I really haven't had a flareup since about 2 o'clock. Now there's pain, but it's been the same kind of pain I had all week. It really is just an awareness that my stomach is sour, but nothing I would ever complain about. I hope it stays like this for the rest of the night. Otherwise, just otc pain relief.

I tip at least 20%, but if she spends a lot of time with you during the consultation or goes above and beyond while you're waiting to keep you happy and comfortable, I'd tip more. Eta: vino
