Also guinea pigs are amazing pets. We had a bunch of them growing up and our kids will definitely have them too. The only downside is they don't live very long.

So funny story about pets... H pretty much had everything growing up but said his favorite pets (besides dogs) were rats. Not like the gross sewer rats obviously. I think he said they were hooded rats. But anyway, he was at Home Depot with his mom picking up some tubing for the rats and they ran into his teacher there. He excitedly told her "We have rats!" and she just looked at them and said "oh.. I'm sorry". His mom had to quickly correct him and tell her they were pet rats lol. That's one of my favorite H kid stories.

That's one of my favorite H kid stories. All I'm reading here is "hood rat". But that is funny, his poor mom was probably mortified. Being a mom now, I cringe thinking about all the ways the kids are gonna embarrass me.

H moved here from Poland in 2nd grade. His second grade class had a class (pet) guinea pig. It came his turn to take it home for a week and the thing died on their watch.
MIL prob talked it to death, poor thing never stood a chance.
Remind me to tell you guys about my pet bunny story at our GTG - it's one of my best, can't let it die here.

I thought oatmeal was supposed to help you go to the bathroom, no? True but ours is fortified with iron which I think is the issue. Maybe Vino's is too. Ok so here is what i learned about Iron today. It was J's 6 month immunizations and we chatted about food, constipation and iron. Quoting website: Full-term babies are born with a reserve of iron, which comes from their mother’s blood while they are in the womb. 'For the first 6 months of life, breastfed babies will get what they need from their mother’s milk. However, waiting too long after 6 months to introduce other foods increases your baby’s risk of iron deficiency. If breastfeeding is not an option, use a store-bought iron-fortified infant formula for the first 12 months. The formula should be cow’s milk-based.' Ages 7-12 months they require 11mg of iron per day and this generally comes from the cereal. The other foods are so little per serving that it would take so much to get to 11mg. The cereal I use is 80% iron daily value for 1/3 cup. There is no way that J could do 1/3 cup. I'm going to try different cereals to determine if it's that or the iron itself. It took J since Sunday morning until just now to have a good, non constipated poop, that's 2.5 days. Poor girl was a wreck. Apparently the Dr can prescribe iton supplements if I have tried everything and it's still bad constipation, but I can't imagine that will feel good on her tummy.

General question: am I just not active enough for the drama? What am I missing? Re: pets... Also, lived in an apartment and always had 2 cats, had 1 bunny (named bunny foo foo because she attacked the cats!?!), had a turtle, countless gold fish, and a Siamese fighting fish named Jem because she was truly truly outrageous lol Edit because my phone hates Jem so here's a pic

vino iron supplements come over the counter. They smell and taste disgusting. They stain everything. They are also Really hard on tummies. Since M was a preemie we had to give them and stopped because they were too hard on his poor tummy. We still have to give vitamin D though.

I know the iron even for me during pregnancy was tough on my tummy. I'm definitely going to do what i need to avoid that route.

You guys would rather have a spider crawling all over you than Ed?!?! I can just take a hot shower after Ed. If a spider crawled all over me I'd have to either bathe in acid or light myself on fire, probably both.

First of all, sarahwithanh, I'm very glad to hear Monty just has a little cold and does not need steroids as of yet. So....to recap while I was gone y'all spiraled on spiders, Ed showed up because of amberlie, and now there are rodents. Oh, and formula + constipation but I bf so I'll be honest and say I skipped that part. 1. Spiders 2. Ed 3. Rodents

No to spiders and HELL no to Ed. I was just saying in the general scheme of existence in the universe, his bothers me less than that of gross, hairy, pregnant, crawly monster spiders. Etf grammar

Cheshie6 I love Jem too! I just watched the show on Netflix while I was on mat leave. The movie they made a couple years ago was THE WORST. And I think the drama is just the whole TCF/SM stuff that happened. Nothing new that I know of.
