Due Aug. '11 - December chat

[Faithsa]

Today has been tough. I've wanted to yell, scream, throw the Wii out the window, throw the husband out the window and that was all in a 2hr time frame. Now my wireless keyboard is wigging out. I'm dealing with a stuffy, not napping 2 yr old a not feeling great about to be 4 mo old who seems to only cough when I put her to bed at night :? And now I'm getting sick. I'm doing what I can to ward it off. Ugh... I hope you have all had good a good day today.

It must be in the air Stella is all snotty and congested too. So sad all the babies are sick with first colds

We took a day off and stayed in our PJs and watched movies all day. It was a much needed break.

Tomorrow I'm taking Lotte to the free project at home depot. Should be fun for her.

Holy crow 66 during the day and 58 at night? I wear a jacket outside at 66*!!!!!!

We keep our ousebetween 70-74 during the day depending on if Im Working or cooking and 69 or 70 at night!

And it changes daily whether we need ac or heat to maintain those temperatures!

Our tree is up, but one section of ligths still isn't lit and we don't really DO house decorations yet...since Luke would likely ruin them Anyway.

morning! just nak- got up early and got donuts this am. getting ready to make some bison chili in the crock. then I'm off to help at the house. mom and SD are here to help too. It's cold and rainy here today. Might turn into snow by Monday.

I tell you what- I am about to die from the pain in my nipple when litte man nurses. There's no white in his mouth or discoloration on me. Can I use something for yeast (ointment)? idk what else it could be...

Ok need to get busy. Have a great wknd ladies!

Try coconut oil. All natural and safe for your little man and has natural antifungal properties.

DS phone app math: NAK-ing + a small touchscreen keyboard + autocorrect + poor proofreading = potential for incoherence. My apologies.

I use Gentian Violet when we get thrush. I just use a qtip and rub it on my nipple. I am having the same issue, but I cannot see anything in DS's mouth. I called the LC yesterday and she suggested yeast. I am thinking I might try the GV today.

For the nursing pain you might want to have a lactation consultant check for a tongue tie too..as he grows it could be getting worse and causing the pain.

Afm: ive done a ton of housework today and dh is working on replacing bulbs on the tree.

Our only non- tree decoration is our Demdaco Willow tree nativity. My parents got it for me 2 years ago. I set that up today.

If he finishes the lights today we will get the tree decorated.

Stayed up too late last night so I'm kind of tired today. We're just having a movie day anyway so no big deal. Seni's being super cuddly too so that's nice.

I think we might put up our tree tomorrow after church and before the game.

Could it not be thrush and be a latch issue instead? I had MAJOR painful latch issues with my DS3 and didnt realize it until he was nearly two months old. Have you looked closely at your nipple to check for small cuts or a sucking blister? I woudl start there...

We had a GREAT time at school today. Our pic with Santa went well and even Harper smiled . We did face painting, cake decorating, cookie decorating, raffle, ornament making, then repeat x2. We overbought tickets. Oops.

Well, its cold and rainy here. DH are going to dinner to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary tonight (its Tuesday) and my mom will babysit big boys.
