@Adira: I paid a lot more

@Adira: our toral was $500 ($250 for me and $250 for D)

@FaithFertility: I love how she explains the way that your baby is communicating with your body. It made everything easier for me to think of it that way.

@MrsF: do you think it's conjunctivitis? K has had crusty eyes and yellow discharge for a couple weeks. I assumed it was related to all her congestion

@MamaG: I didn think anything of it (the goopy eyes) but we happened to have his 2 month visit so I pointed it out. She said she could see some redness and put him on erythromycin ointment for conjunctivitis. She also said a lot of kids with conjunctivitis also end up having an ear infection (j does not) so it's good to get them checked out.

@whenoceansrise: I'm sorry your first day was rough. Enjoy those snuggles this weekend!!

I posted on he FB thread already but

So you may have seen from my other posts that Ryan's spit up is bad. Really bad like after every feed bad sometimes fountains bad and keeping him awake or waking him up bad. I had an LC appt yesterday to check latch and make sure I was doing things right and she thought that was all great and she didn't see any issue with nursing. But she said he seems to have "real deal reflux" based on spit up and how uncomfortable he seems after feeding - and urged me to go to the pediatrician. Which I did. The good news is he is gaining weight well (almost 9 lbs at shy of 8w and only born at 5 lb 6 oz so gaining half a lb a week). But the bad news is there is not much to do other than change meds (from Zantac to Prilosec or Prevacid and there's no way to know if it will help) and she won't do that we would need to go to a GI doc (she can refer us). She can also do an in office ultrasound of his belly to rule out pyloric stenosis (but she said she would be shocked if he had that since he is thriving and generally happy). The pediatrician basically thinks he had reflux, will outgrow it, but doesn't think there's any underlying issue. I want to go to the GI doc (I just don't think grunting and fussing and writhing and moaning for 30 mins after a feed is normal) but my husband is more of a "wait and see" approach....I guess the thing about reflux meds are they aren't proven to work and are not necessarily totally benign as once thought. Anyways that's what's going on in my world.

G is not a huge crier, which is blessing so when she does it breaks my heart! She woke from a nap and was soooo mad blood crying I was in shower DH tried to console her but nope!!!!! I jumped out to feed her....her eyes were all red Man this spurt is breaking my heart!!!!

@MrsF: We go to the doctor again on Tuesday to get the two month shots. I'll mention it then and see what they have to say. We've been to the doctor weekly lately. I'm a little over it

Ugh this whole measles outbreak (I just read something saying someone went to NY with it) and I also read that Feb is height of flu season! We are going to a friends house today and there will be 10+ ppl.. No one better be sick!

@snowjewelz: UGHH I hear you!!!! We have yet to take her to any public places...... My mom keeps saying when are you taking the baby out???
I have no other kiddos to take out to poop them out, DH is home with me so if I or he want to go out we just take turns....I will take her when we have to.

I think a house is ok, If it were me I would just limit the holding!!!

@BandDmommy: Omgoosh!!!!!! How exciting!!! Many many prayers for a sticky little babe!!!!!

@BandDmommy: ahh! Congrats!!

@BandDmommy: seriously still can't believe it! Keep us updated! Happy for you!

@snowjewelz: having a toddler (aka germ factory) I've given up on worrying about sickness. We go out all the time. Otherwise my toddler would destroy our house.

@ChiCalGoBee: I should have tried to wear Her too but we are still working on getting comfy in the carrier so I didn't want to make a scene if she fussed! But I should have bc I got a lot of unsolicited advice like omg don't rock your baby to sleep! Or when I was nursing her with cover, why don't I pump so it's easier... Ugh!!

@snowjewelz: LOL.. I totally wipped out a boob no cover when I was nursing D in the parking lot at Chickfila. There's something not sexy about boobs when you are feeding a child. People need to get over themselves.

@BandDmommy: I still can't believe it! Congrats of course!
