Hellobee Boards

Uhhh... found a disaster waiting for me when I went to feed Xander this morning. Apparently the amoxicillin he's on DID give him diarrhea. I had to change his outfit, his sheets, AND his mattress pad (and apparently I don't own a second mattress pad, grrrr). And he was just crying the whole time because he was hungry. It sucked.

@Smurfette: I had to skip over watching Owen because it just depresses me!!! And maybe Marty's naked because he JUST went to the bathroom beforehand and so they weren't worried about him making a mess, but the same isn't true for Owen? Who knows!!

Xander's been on the amoxicillin for a week and this was the first time he had a blowout like this! I hope it's not going to get worse before it gets better! And that's crazy how much R has gone!!! Good think your'e using the Culturelle!! I can't wait for our babies to be feeling better!

@ALV91711: OMG, so sweet!!!! Xander hasn't really reached for me when being held by someone else, but I can tell that he's excited to see me and wants me. But I want the reaching!!! Yay Isaac!!!

L seems to be right on with the video except the pivoting on his belly. He does it but not as adeptly as Marty. He prefers to roll.
He's still sick. Had a temp of 103.3 last night
@Smurfette: yeah that's scary. L's done that too.

@travellingbee: I hope that he starts to feel better soon. Are you at least getting some sleep?

@Smurfette: Oh yikes!!! Good thing you got to her before she took a tumble!!! Crazy mobile babies!

@travellingbee: I still need to check the pivoting on the belly, but Xander rarely even gets himself up on his arms, so I doubt he'll do any pivoting!

@Smurfette: Awww, poor R and poor Mama! I don't know how you handle taking care of the baby all by yourself all the time!! I FEEL like I do a ton of the work for Xander, but Hubs definitely helps out! I can only imagine how much more work it is without the help!!!

So I asked daycare to TRY to put Xander down for a third nap when he's there. I'm so sick of never getting to spend any time with him in the evening except nursing because he naps as soon as we get home, then he wakes up to eat and then it's straight back to bed.

@Smurfette: I have to be honest, my husband is away on business travel for the next 5 weeks, and earlier this week I said I can totally see why people want to go back to work. Ugh, it's tough. But, while I plan out events for us to get out daily I try not to think much beyond the next hour. Otherwise, it is so overwhelming!!

And, to make it more complicated, A is not only crawling, he started STANDING this morning. He pulls up on everything. Ay yi yi.

@aprk: oh mama, 5 weeks?!?! my husband is going away on business for 4 days next month and i'm already not looking forward to it. hang in there mama.... =/

@aprk: OMG, 5 weeks??? That's crazy!!! And I can't believe he's pulling up to standing! Xander's no where near that!

@Adira: yikes! What a rough start to the day. I agree, they should try to get him to nap so you can play with him at home! Does he nap on the car ride ever?

@Smurfette: I did wonder why Marty is diaper-less? Yikes! Scary! K is a rolling machine, and even with pillow walls all-around, I can't leave her really unattended on our bed either. I was just brushing my teeth, standing in the bathroom doorway and she managed to roll to the edge of the bed (and I was only a couple of feet away). I usually put her in the Bumbo, in the middle of the bed, with pillows around, if I need to keep her on the bed for awhile.

@ALV91711: Awww! That is awesome! I *think* K reaches for me sometimes, but it's hard to tell if she's doing it on purpose, or trying to grab at me?

@aprk: 5 weeks?! Oh my! I hope you have some help coming? And standing? whoa! We have some super-talented March babies!

* Ugh! K has napped 15 min. and 19 min. today. That's it. I've just spent over 1.5 hours trying to get her to nap again and she JUST fell asleep finally, in the swing. My mom said I'm spoiling her. No one in my family seems to place any importance on naps. They tell me she'll sleep if she's tired. But since she never has meltdowns or full-on cry in front of them, they think she is fine and I'm being too controlling or something. They want me tote her around to restaurants so they can "see" her. Ah! I just needed to vent. Even DH just says "what are you going to do" if she won't nap on her own anywhere they want. Why am I the only person who think naps are important?

@ALV91711: Yay! Congrats! I know what you mean. K fights naps so hard. But I know she needs them.

@shopaholic: sorry they don't understand how important naps are:(
@ALV91711: so exciting!!

Ya'll I'm so behind on this thread. I can't even catch up.

So here's a picture of my baby so you won't notice how bad I am at keeping in touch.

@Mrs. High Heels: Nope! I just put her in the dress today and took this picture for MIL cause she asked for a shot today.

Shoot is on Oct. 19. Hope the dress still fits then! It's a 12M, so it'd better.

@Arden: she's a beauty. I love that dress.

@Smurfette: Isaac wears 3-6 month pants but bigger tops. He's got short legs.

Ladies I'm out without my baby!! Just waiting to get my haircut. I'm just hoping he takes a nap while I'm gone.

@ALV91711: Woohoo! Enjoy your time away, hope it makes you feel refreshed and rejuvenated!

@ALV91711: I hope you had a fabulous time by yourself!!

Y'all it is breaking my heart, R is spitting up so much still. It is mucusy (is that a word?). She doesn't seem bothered by it at all at least. We tried bananas today and she loved them!

@Adira: Yes but I haven't tried it yet. I need too cause she doesn't get the sippy cup. Did you do a whole piece of banana? I did the Gerber puree. We didn't have any fresh ones.

@Adira: maybe BLW would be better for him instead of purees.

We are in 9 month stuff except his sleepers that are 9 mos are too tight on his thighs.
You know what? L refuses blw. He will only take purées and prefers jarred to homemade . What a weirdo. If given a banana, he smooshes it but won't eat it.
He was puking today. All morning. We almost had to take him back to the ER but he finally kept down some pedialyte. The dr. Said its likely because of the mucus from the croup upsetting his tummy.
