Someone talk me off the ledge. So the rooms at daycare are like one very large room that is divided by a wall, but all the kids have the same entrance point. They don't mix the two rooms that I know of. However, a kid on the other side of her room was diagnosed with Whooping Cough last week. Over the weekend I could tell something was brewing with Kaylee. Being fussy much more frequently than normal, not really hungry, you know just the general "sickness is brewing" type of state. She's been congested and could possibly be teething (if I try to check I get bitten). However, now she has started a cough that I really don't like the sound of. I mean, this really could just be a cold, but who knows.

fierymama, that's such a tough situation. i think we as parents tend to over react to a point because we don't want the worst case scenrio to happen, because let's be honest, we can see the worst case scenerio every single time. I would be vigilant with what she currently has. Lots of liquids, keep the nose as clear as possible, use saline in it, vicks on feet with socks at night, and a humidifier. Cough medicine if you use it. If the cough gets worse, take her in. Try to keep whooping cough thoughts to a minimum. How is her breathing when she coughs. Is she having trouble catching her breath? I think I would be on the look out for that but try to keep calm about the rest of it. FX it's only teething!

No advice fierymama but I hope K feels better soon and that it's just a simple cold. |

RunsforWineandCarbs - Her breathing seems fine. She's really only coughing at night, so probably mostly nasal drainage. I'm going to make sure we do all the things before bed time tonight. She didn't have the cough at all yesterday and it started over night. She went to daycare today - I'm hoping she makes it through the day.

fierymama, also, last week C came down with a high fever - I had H take him to the doctor after it wouldn't' come down. Absolutely nothing wrong with him. But add, loose poop and diaper rash and not eating to the mix, 3 days later I realized it was all related to his stupid molars coming in. I hope K stops coughing during the day and makes it thru the day!

Current event but not own thread worthy.
Charles Manson has died.
Only relevant to me because I just watched the AHS episode that deals with him.

I put on a size smaller pants this morning on accident.
Whatever, I’ll take it.
Finally kicking my cold/sinus infection and am getting ready to ramp up for thanksgiving. I predict these pants will not fit by Friday!

On the weekends, we've been skipping naps (for E) so he goes to bed earlier and we can watch Stranger Things! We just watched episode 5 of the first season last night and we're loving it.
I feel like he is still in that in between phase of needing a nap and not needing it but we just suffer through some fussiness on the non nap days. Really, if he just gets like 30 min, that works pretty well but sometimes that is hard to make happen.

I will hold on to naps as long as I can. DS still naps from 12ish pm - 3pm on the weekends and DD does quiet time in her room during that time. But I will be a little happy once naps are gone because then I won't be tied to the house during that time because of naps.

Nap time is a struggle with A but we get C down pretty easy most of the time. The naps range from 1.5-2 hours. No more.

I am going to start now and keep it up with the new baby. Every year I get all my christmas cards for free. Usually between 40-50! This year I was able to use my rewards for SIL's bridal shower invites (50) AND my Christmas cards (45). and paid less than $30 total between both |

fierymama sorry K is sick. My suggestion is to google what the cough sounds like. There’s this really good one by the doctors (the tv show) where they play certain coughs and what the ill ones could be.

Fx K feels better fierymama. I'm ready for thanksgiving, but also tired thinking of it. I have a feeling I'm going to be doing a lot of things. I was off on Friday and today is insane at work. I'll be working late today to get done. |

 Hey guys!!! I've missed you guys so much but just haven't had the time/made it a priority to stop by. W is doing great and really thriving. He hasn't really calmed down much energy wise but he's so happy. I threw out my back almost 2 months ago and it hasn't healed so I've just been laid up and tired. And grumpy. 😕 W is kind of a barnacle but I'll try to check in during the mornings and keep up. |

We have a follow up app with M's ped this afternoon. He goes every 6 months for overall monitoring. Overall he is doing great, but these extreme tantrums are very challenging to witness. So we will see what this ped says. I think the plan originally was to discharge after this visit, but I might see about keeping him on for continued monitoring for overall developmental supports. We do have our GP for all health related stuff.
