There isn't any body of water near her. It's just poor drainage and massive amounts of rain.</p> <p>Is the airport closed today? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/texas-bees-be-safe#post-2527576 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 09:14:30 +0000 FancyGem 2527576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't sleep last night.

The road is super flooded. I'm guessing we might be trapped here all week which makes me a little stir crazy and nervous already. Rain doesn't usually scare me but I'm feeling a little upset about this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/texas-bees-be-safe#post-2527517 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 08:42:50 +0000 MamaG 2527517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in North Texas, so we aren't as bad off up here. But I was woken by the storm at about 3:15 and then I heard *drip* *drip*, got the flashlight out and we have a darn leak. The rain was coming down through the face of the double sided fireplace in our bedroom/bath.</p> <p>Stay dry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/texas-bees-be-safe#post-2527479 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 08:22:10 +0000 lawbee11 2527479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I barely slept because of all the thunder and lightning. Luckily my office is closed as is DH's so we're having a relaxing family day with LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/texas-bees-be-safe#post-2527468 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 08:15:09 +0000 justjules 2527468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It felt so close to us too. It was so loud last night I was surprised E didn't wake up with every boom! Lots of flooding where we live. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/texas-bees-be-safe#post-2527462 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 08:10:43 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2527462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read there was tornadoes in other parts of the city! It felt like lightening was striking in my backyard last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/texas-bees-be-safe#post-2527367 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 05:47:51 +0000 HTownMom 2527367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All Texas Bees be safe today with the crazy rain, hail and flooding.

So I just need to supplement a few items from this season. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-are-currently-have-cold-weather#post-1429180 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:24:46 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1429180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was looking at gap/ON deals but I didn't feel they were all that great. I would also like to get a better idea of what size he'll be in closer to summer, because he just outgrew 12-18, but I'm not sure whether he'll be 18-24 or 2T. </p> <p>I might wait until more summer items are on clearance. It doesn't get warm enough for shorts until at least June, and more likely late June/July. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-are-currently-have-cold-weather#post-1429174 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:22:24 +0000 heartonastring 1429174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mum's in Florida for the month and she went on a crazy shopping spree for DD. She took advantage of the Presidents' Day sales and basically bought DD's whole spring/summer wardrobe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-are-currently-have-cold-weather#post-1429155 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:12:11 +0000 cascademom 1429155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've bought some already. I got some Old Navy 2T shorts for LO for the summer. He's beginning to outgrow his 18 month Carter's waffle knit tops, so I might need to get a bigger size since we've had so much snow and cold this season. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-are-currently-have-cold-weather#post-1429126 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:01:04 +0000 jedeve 1429126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>June or July! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-are-currently-have-cold-weather#post-1429119 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 13:00:17 +0000 swedishfish 1429119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I already started.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-are-currently-have-cold-weather#post-1429117 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 12:59:20 +0000 mrsjyw 1429117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not til april/may for LO.

Won't shop til the actual season, based on what he'll need in addition to what we have already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-are-currently-have-cold-weather#post-1429112 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 12:58:47 +0000 Mamaof2 1429112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought at the end of last year so I am pretty much set but if you see good deals I would buy now! I feel like if you wait until the weather gets warm everything will be gone!!</p> <p>I am always amazed when I go to buy a bathing suit in July/August and they are GONE - I mean its still summer!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-who-are-currently-have-cold-weather#post-1429083 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 12:52:08 +0000 Cchoi4 1429083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>....when are you planning on buying warm weather clothes?

He also has a twin blanket but he usually ends up outside of it. Thermostat is at 72-72 but his room says 76-77 even though it feels cooler than that.</p> <p>6 month old has a warmer room. He is usually in cotton long sleeve and pants and a cotton sleep sack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-on-your-lo-at-night-thermostat-setting#post-1213445 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 12:35:34 +0000 lawbee11 1213445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Good to know. I think I am going to start putting socks on her under her footed sleeper because I sometimes notice her feet are cold in the morning when I change her diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-on-your-lo-at-night-thermostat-setting#post-1213439 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 12:33:39 +0000 Dandelion 1213439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 6. He wears long sleeved pj's and I set the thermostat at 73 at night. He also uses a pile of blankets, cause he says it's cozy that way, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-on-your-lo-at-night-thermostat-setting#post-1213406 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 12:25:49 +0000 Boogs 1213406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>31 months, 62 degrees, socks &amp; fleece footed sleeper, and whatever blankets he will tolerate since he runs hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-on-your-lo-at-night-thermostat-setting#post-1213371 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 12:08:15 +0000 irene 1213371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I should really consider putting our thermostat lower to save energy.... but it is soooo cold! At 75F I already constantly worry if LO is warm enough! I always thought we have a down comforter (supposed to be warmer than fleece? I dont know) but he only has the fleece sleep sack and pajamas..</p> <p>I do want to say we used to keep the house 68-72 when LO was a newborn because of the temperature guideline. But we were freezing our butts off ourselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-on-your-lo-at-night-thermostat-setting#post-1213285 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:28:37 +0000 HabesBabe 1213285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't had to turn on our heat yet, but the temp on her monitor starts at around 74 for bedtime and can get to 69 in the MOTN? Just a fleece one piece jammie. She's 16 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-on-your-lo-at-night-thermostat-setting#post-1213265 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:20:07 +0000 mrskc 1213265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm I feel maybe I should dress A warmer. He sleeps in a long sleeved shirt and pants with a cotton sleep sack. We keep the thermostat at 65 but I think it takes all the way until almost morning before the heat kicks on. I think it's around 68 most of the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-on-your-lo-at-night-thermostat-setting#post-1213254 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:17:31 +0000 JoJoGirl 1213254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From today's Isis post on sleep:</p> <p>A Cool, Ventilated Room<br /> A cool, dark and quiet room works best. When the season has warm days and cool nights, it's reasonable to open the windows for fresh evening air. However, with the windows open, the birds and outdoor sounds will be even louder at 5 AM. A fan in the room to help circulate air is a good option if the windows are closed. Keep the room temperature at 64-69°F for sleep. During cooler months, keep feet warm at night. Remember "warm feet for better sleep". Don't worry if your baby's hands or face feel cool to the touch. Slip your hand under your baby's shirt: if his tummy and chest are warm, he's warm enough. </p>
