Ok, I have a dumb adulating question. I don't know the last time I've gone in for a physical and had blood drawn. Do you do this yearly? with a GP or gyno? I've had pap smears with my OB but I don't remember having blood drawn. Do you have to ask for a blood count?

Or you can just make an appt for a physical with your general practitioner.

My GP physical includes a CBC, hormones, thyroid, blood sugar, a lipid panel, and whole bunch of other things. I do think some women see their OB as a GP. So if that's what you do, maybe ask her to run the blood work.

I'm currently "taking" a class about genetic testing. Apparently I have to take it before my first appointment.

slenle My OB never does blood when I'm not pregnant. Do you have a PCP? Usually they will order your tests once a year when you for a well check.

Took the boys to the ped. Big one is just allergies as I thought. I wouldn't have let him stay home if I wasn't already going to be here with T. T is post nasal drip. I'm so tired, hoping I can at least get T to watch a movie if he won't nap.

Morning.
We all went to bed early last night, but I'm still so tired. Just got work coffee and it's not great.
Today is the fall festival at M's school. Not sure how cool it will be once the the sun sets, so I had to pack a bag with some warm clothes for both the boys just in case. I hope it's as fun as they made it sound on the flyer. Also hoping it wears M down enough that bedtime will be a breeze.

Glad it's nothing serious kim22, but I hope everyone feels better soon. Post nasal drip has been getting the better of me and M2 for the past month. I'm taking claritin to dry it up, but I can't kick it for some reason.

C did great at the dentist but arrived to school late and missed picture day. Dh said he was pretty bummed. I am too because he looked so cute and I loved his class pic last year. I may take him to a studio for a photoshoot though for a makeup "picture day".

An entire days worth of calories? How many calories? What kind of coffee are you getting?? Medium iced caramel coffee with cream and sugar from Dunkin. I think it was jewels that told me how many calories it was. I didn't look it up myself. I'm trying to wean off the coffee and coke. So small coffee 3 times a week and half a coke at lunch and half at dinner is my goal. It turns out weight watchers app was wrong... I actually did the math and the app told me a medium was 13 points (i get 30 a day). When I added it myself it was only 4 with milk. Cream would probably make it 5 or 6. The app still tells me 13 but I just do it manually now. Maybe try to swap milk for cream and then you won't have to give it up?

Cher solid plan. slenle I get it done yearly with my go, because our insurance gives us money in our health fund if the numbers are good though. It sucks though because the don’t account for pregnancy, and I’ll have to do it pretty much right after I give birth which means I’ll probably get dinged for my weight. kim22 I hope hope Everyone feels better!

I got a call mid day yesterday that B had a high fever. He was so sad last night, and had such trouble breathing.
But he woke up fever free. His still a little clammy and off, but I think he's ok. We're just chilling at home today and hopefully he can go back to school tomorrow and hopefully s stays healthy!

I am LIVID. So, when we moved we just transferred our home insurance from the old house to the new house. Yesterday I got a notice from our mortgage company that we didn’t have home insurance and would be charged 3K if it wasn’t resolved by 11/1. Well, I thought it was just a paperwork error, but after not getting any calls back from our agent and spending an hour on the phone with the corporate office it turns out our idiot agent CANCELED the policy for our new home instead of our old home. So we have been carrying insurance on a house we haven’t owned since August and we’ve been uninsured in our current house while we had all the work being done and our kids friends in and out... it makes me sweaty to think about of something had happened during that time.
