General question: Do your pediatricians use shot blockers? (I have no idea if that's the technical name) ETA: amazingly so, it is the technical name. Never heard of it before.

guster no, I’ve never heard of those before. H still gets shots in her thighs. The nurse told me there isn’t enough muscle or something in the arms yet.

*poof* TLDR: Basically I'm worn out with too many responsibilities, my husband doesn't do his share, and my FIL's an asshole.[/p]

I bundled everyone up so we could go play outside. S lasted about 1 minute and she was done. H is still playing outside, I’m watching her through the window.

Josie just started getting shots in her arm this past year. Our practice got a new nurse when Josie was nine months old, and starting using these. It was a big help for us.

Ugh inthekitty , you have a lot going on. You are a fucking boss though, the way that you take care of your family to ensure that the girls have an amazing positive role model with a kick ass work ethic is admirable. You have a good head on your shoulders and I have no doubt that the girls see that. And eff your FIL, how annoying of him and what a pain in the ass that you shouldn't have to deal with.

Yes, it's quite ridiculous. How big is the original tract? No idea. I haven't even opened up the documents. I'm too scared. LOL

The doctor's office just called. Csection at 7:30am Monday instead of 4:30pm. I'm so happy, now I don't have to starve all day and hopefully the kids will get to come meet their brother after school.

vino, I really appreciate it. I have such working mom guilt. The girls have both cried off and on lately about me working. I feel like an asshole when I'm impatient with them or too worn out to do much from being overtired. I'm taking a week off at the end of JAN and we're going to surprise the girls with a Disney trip and I'm just trying to keep focused on the light at the end of the tunnel.

Yesterday I caught the tail end of a bazaar after my work party. This baby-faced guy cornered me and was giving me his spiel about locally farmed delivered produce. The only reason I was giving him the time of day is because I'm interested in a produce delivery service. I just wanted him to get on with it and get to the details. At one point he said how it's been so amazing with his 15 month-old because he will usually reach for fresh fruits and veggies to eat. I almost guffawed in his face and said "just you wait..."

inthekitty dang girl. You have a lot on your plate. I’m glad your taking a break for yourself in Jan. You more than deserve it!! kim22 how exciting!!!! The interview went really well I felt. I feel like I answered the questions really well and asked great questions and that they really liked me. I wasn’t nervous when I went in and I just felt really confident. The only issue is they want someone to start right away and that’s going to be tricky for me with the winter break and both kids being off of school. But I told them I could make it work because Adam’s job is pretty flexible. I did tell them about the dates I will be traveling for Christmas because I am not coming back early from Christmas with my family to start a new job. And if that cost me the job then that’s fine because I still have a job.

inthekitty You are a rockstar. Your girls will appreciate what you are doing for them more than you realize. And kick YH in the butt and tell him to clean! He doesn’t have a baby or toddler in the house anymore so he can step it up.

General question: Do your pediatricians use shot blockers? (I have no idea if that's the technical name) ETA: amazingly so, it is the technical name. I've never seen these! We typically use buzzy which looks like same idea. C still gets shots in the leg, but I just have him hold it or I place it on his thigh above where they'll do the shot. www.buzzyhelps.com

We just went to jungle java and now L is napping while C watches DinoTrux and I eat a ham, cheese, jelly and mayo sandwich. I wish I could say that's a weird pregnancy craving, but I eat weird stuff.

Our pedi called this morning and said she talked to the ENT about H's ear infections. ENT said he's likely a good candidate so we'll be seeing him for H's recheck next week and probably scheduling tubes for January. He offered to get him on his schedule this month since it's filling up fast, but we're so far from our deductible, we might as well wait for a new year.

He doesn’t have a baby or toddler in the house anymore so he can step it up. I completely agree. Change needs to come in my household because I can't keep all of this up and there's no reason for it all to be on me.
