He's keeping the chicken broth down. He's doing better with foods, just when he eats enough to become full. We actually use silver all the time. He's also on probiostics and colostrum full time. Great minds girl, hehe!

Hopefully he will be like I was - it didn't hurt just itched.

DH is super allergic to those too. He actually has scars from where they were used. Cayden's are just disolveable stitches. I hope to just get this cleared up and figure something out. All I could find online was turning it into a partial fundo. DH and I don't want to make that call any time toon though. He needs much more time to heal. The surgion is just awsome though, so he would understand that if he did want to do it.

Fooey!


Thanks for the support you guys!

Awe Sarah, I hope every thing turns out ok.

I think I might be in a funk. I've been sleeping a ton and really having a hard time waking up. I've been really unproductive in the shop. I don't know what the heck is wrong with me lately. All I can say is this blows.

Apparently my subconscious really needed to vent more than I thought. Hence the dreaded double post.

Sarah - sorry I was really hoping it would be simple for cayden's infections I too have steri-strip scars - battle wounds How is he doing today? We are rushing because end of year is coming up but when Cale has some time I will get him to email.

Kris - sorry you are in a funk - hey come for a visit! Nothing like babies to make you appreciate life

We are doing good today - getting back on a roll with life. End of the year is coming FAST - we have 22 school days left!!! AAAHHHH I made a detailed lesson plan which I have never done before - we've always been go with the flow - but we are a tiny bit behind and quickly running out of time. I even left us 5 extra days at the end so when (not if) we fall behind schedule there is still time to not panic - I sure hope it works. I finally feel like I am getting the hang of homeschooling - I guess pregger brain affected me more then I realized since this is our first year I'd never homeschooled not pregnant before

Oh bother - Cale just accidentally slam dunked Audrey - her little mouth hit the floor - she toppled over. Looks like she did a decent oowie - but the good news is the way she hit her gums two teeth popped through! She is fine now - only cried for less then a minute but what a way to get teeth

Oh and I finished Allison's birth story here...

Thanks sweetie. Why don't you take a computer and doggie advocacy break for a day. Take the little one out for lunch and the park? Plan a long alone time bath. Make it a peacefull day. Take some time for you. Being down can slowly progress to long term blues. I'd hate to see you like that. Do something to chear yourself up.

Morning everyone!

How are we all today? I hope everyone is healthy and happy.
It's nice and sunny here and I am finally starting to feel better - not healed yet but I am thinking again about the things I would like to go and do (cabin fever) so to me that is a great sign because two days ago I couldn't even imagine wanting to go out. I wonder how long my tail bone is going to hurt??? My mom said her's was bad for THREE years - until she had another baby! Anyone go through this?

I'm sorry! It's so hard being in one of those moods. (((hugs)))

My tailbone starts hurting as soon as I get pg. It seriously was my biggest complaint all the way through...even at the end when I was miserable. My issue wasn't the same as yours...but even know (ds is 2) I notice times when it hurts again...praying yours gets better sooner than mine!!

AFM...nothing really new here. Life is getting super hectic! I have something going on every weekend until the middle of July. I'm tired just thinking about it...

[mom1mg]

Morning all - We went out yesterday with NO help! I need to figure out a better plan I had my double stroller and a snap and go and pushed one while pulling the other - It looked FUNNY! My mom left yesterday so it's all on me now and honestly I feel REALLY GOOD about it. I think it is safe to say I am not going to have ppd - I feel GREAT to have this huge crazy family. Allison is still letting me sleep LOTS - still keeping that nice 4 hour schedule which basically means I get woken up once at night - LOVE IT!


Holly - what are you doing on weekends? Sports? Fun stuff???
Our weekends are full of floor hockey for the older kids. That ends in June and then we start camping

maybe a good ring sling for the baby? I still wear my two year old and its insanely helpful!

I have a sling from DS3 - I couldn't use it with DD1 because it compressed her legs too much with her circulation issues. I was thinking about bringing it out to see if it works still. It isn't a ring though so I am not sure if it will still fit me. I was thinking about buying an ergo or similar when DD2 gets bigger but I have a really bad back and now super low tone in my core so I am not sure if I can baby wear like that - I know I can't do backpack carriers and couldn't do a snuggly but that was years ago.

I think I might break down and spring for a triple stroller. I just haven't seen any on CL locally and I won't buy a new one since I won't need it long enough. Before I find something it is going to be a combo of babywearing, two strollers and walking harness depending on where we are. I LOVE strollering - I know not very AP but I like having everyone seated and contained. We use our stroller every single day.
