I'd really enjoy if this sickness would leave my house. Both kids still have snotty noses. Like, it is literally dripping. It's disgusting. And J nursed once yesterday. It was before bed last night. I was able to pump about 9 oz throughout the day that he took from a straw cup. He hasn't nursed at all today. Ugh. It's funny though because he has no issues nursing at night. So I'm not sure if this is a nursing strike or if he's weaning. I'll keep offering and pumping but I plan to buy WCM at the grocery store today.
Emotionally, I wasn't ready for this.

Hugs, waitwhat. That is upsetting and especially since it's happening much sooner than you expected. I hope you guys have a relaxing day and everyone is on the mend soon.

Hi ladies. I didn't get a chance to check in yesterday. I spent 7.5+ hours in a car with my two demons and it was...not fun.
I just got back from Orangetheory a little while ago. DH took DS to soccer and I'm currently rocking a sleeping D, because she's precious and I didn't feel like putting her down yet. My precious demon lol
This afternoon we're going to a big party at CP's house so after my shower I need to spend some time putting myself together 😉

Hey ladies. DH let me sleep in this morning and my exhaustion is really catching up to me. I feel like crap. Hopefully the next few days give me a boost. H went to sleep for DH with only a little struggle so that's super reassuring for the near future when I go back to work. I'm still stressed, but it's helpful knowing he will finally let someone else put him to bed.

Well looks like C is getting sick now. He has a runny nose. Are you supposed to give anything for this? It's clear, no fever and he's acting mostly fine. Maybe a little more whiney and needy but he's happy.

Maybe a little more whiney and needy but he's happy. I just use saline to help with the snot and check temperature at every diaper change. I give Tylenol at night in case of a headache or sorr muscles, but otherwise it's waiting it out.

Oh and Hiii N16. I've been an asshole and haven't been around lately.
We had some drama with B at daycare; long story short is that he was pushed from behind from a know problem child and hit his face and a tooth on a toddler urinal. It was awful and the daycare totally failed B. It was a rough week but I want to move past it, the employee has been reprimanded and we're switching daycares in October.
Other than that both kids and MH are sick; OF COURSE MH's is worse than both of theirs put together 😒

Morning! I'm just popping in to say hi; my sister got in Wednesday so we've been busy. Sorry I haven't been around much! Sounds like there are still some sick babies, toddlers and moms around C and I are still snotty but feeling fine, DH is doing better and mercifully B has escaped so far. Hope you all are better soon. Today we're having a girls day out with some shopping and lunch and then coming back here to watch football. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

vino good to see you back. So sorry to hear about B. That's rough, and even worse that y'all did not feel supported by the D.C. Glad he'll be out of there shortly. Hugs.

J's baptism is next Sunday. I can't remember if I got anything for the Godparents, same for both kids, does one get a gift for the Godparents? If so, any ideas? Anything that you've received or have given?

vino wow I'm sorry. That sounds like a terrible situation. I'm glad he'll be moving and hope he loves the new DC. And I have no idea what is normal with godparents but I completely blanked anyway and never got anything. They were my siblings and didn't care.

Oh my gosh vino! I am so sorry that happened and even more sorry that DC didn't step up when it happened. I hope B is ok and that other child gets the help he needs. As for baptism gifts I think that can depend on how religious everyone is. A nice leather bound bible with a handwritten and dated note might be nice. Idk. I'm trying to reach deep into my Catholic roots and am blanking.

I really hope all these babies (and moms!) start feeling better. Looks like we got off easy with only three days of nastiness. waitwhat I'm so sorry. Maybe he'll hang onto that night time feeding (if you want him to) for a bit longer.

Hi everyone! We just got back from the beach (who knew if being saying the word beach the first weekend of fall) and just had lunch. Kids are playing nicely together so I'll let them be before I send the big on off for a nap. H is teaching CPR today and will be back around dinner time, in thinking something on the grill is in order.

I'm sorry about the dc situation vino that sounds frustrating. Hopefully the next week or so go by quick and the transition works out! I didn't do gifts for either set of godparents when the kids were baptized.

So hilarious story; I've still got 3/6 of the cans of Baby's Only formula that I ordered when she was born. Homegirl has never taken a bottle so now we're doing 3-4 ounces at a time from a sippy cup. When we're on the last can I'll start adding WCM to that.

vino we don't do gifts for the Godparents around here. But it is common for the Godparents to give the baby a gift.
