Well I have completed week one at work and I decided I hate working. But, I have no choice so I can't dwell on it.  Every day I got stuck working overtime and when I finally got in the door it was 6. So the night is pretty much a chaotic mess. I think Hannah feel's my stress. I don't know how people do it. Does a routine eventually happen????THe best part was DH telling me I was GREEN at the end of the day......

I am sorry to hear about all the sickness. Hopefully everyone is well soon. What is everyone thinking of doing for Xmas? I don't want to spoil her too much.

Well keep well and we will check in soon

Ange
PS The picture of Reegan is beautiful.  She looks like such a little lady.

Jodi - I hope that the dr visit went well.  Let us know how she is. 

Ange - THings will get better for you.  You just have to get used to everything.  It took me a while to adjust when I went back to work.  A good thing for me is that I will make dinner the night before and stick it in the frig and just cook it when I get home.  Since I do this it gives me more time to play with Reegan.  Good luck! 

We just went back to the doctor today and things went pretty well.  Reegan is only in the 50th percentile for her weight and the 95th for her height.  The problem is that she has her dad's big head!  It is off the chart and they are a little concerned.  Next time if it is still growing on the same curve we will have to go get a cat scan  :shock:  Makes me a little worried but dh has a big head.  Also Reegan has reeally dry patches of skin that are red and getting much worse in the last week so she gave us some cream for that.  Does anybody else have this?  It looks horrible and I always put lotion on after her baths.  Little worried about this. 

So, sleep was better last night but not great.  She was up at 1:30 and would not settle without nursing  :oops: Then she was up for good at 5:45!  Since the dr gave the all clear with the ears we are going back to sleep training tonight.  She was so tired this morning!  Wish me luck with this.

jill-i am with momtoree on the sugar issue.  i feed gianna super healthy everyday, so sometimes when we go out to eat or there's a special occasion, it doesn't bother me that she has a bite of cake or some french fries.  i don't mind letting her "splurge" once in a while.  and vanilla pudding icing?...Mmmmm!  i used to make a vanilla cake with sliced strawberry filling and vanilla pudding icing.  to make the icing, i would make the pudding according to the directions on the box, but with less milk so it was pretty thick.  then i would add 1 container of "cool whip" and beat with an electric mixer til smooth.  nutritious?  no.  delicious? YES!

ange-sorry the adjustment to work is hard for you.  honestly i would have a break down from the stress if i had to go back, so i can't offer much advice there.  i'm sure you will fall into a routine as soon as hannah gets used to the sitter's.  also, it probly would help to get dinners planned out and made or partially made on the weekends.  i do that now and i don't even work.

jodi-hope morgan is ok.  let us know.

momtoree-where is reegan's rash?  gianna was getting that really badly on her face.  (i can pm or email you pics of you'd like)  so i asked a ped friend of mine and she said it was definitely an allergic reaction.  long story short, she is allergic to milk and can only tolerate very small amounts of dairy products.  since we've taken dairy away, her skin is as smooth as a baby's bottom! :D

Thanks for the concern and thoughts. Turns out its an ear enfection, once we got home she took a 3 hour nap and woke with 104 fever again. Motrin has brought it back to 102. I think we are getting better. Ill write more later, gonna go cuddle some more

Glad to hear she is on the mend...We don't mess with fevers as in Connor's case, it could be a Kidney infection which is what we have to watch for, but no fever is good (104 is really, really high)...it pays to get it checked out.

Ange...I know what you mean about the work thing...it's such a juggle...I'm starting my 2nd week back...I'm so tired all the time, and I feel like there isn't much time with Connor when I get home...I guess it's all routine though...Guess what???  One nice thing is that I've booked off Connor's birthday next Tuesday, and the next day he gets his shots, so I booked it off too..We are celebrating Con's b-day this weekend, but I'm going to take him swimming on his birthday and just be with him...I'm so excited.

That vanilla pudding cake sounds good...at least better than icing!!!

I have some updated picture of Connor I'm going to put on in a few minutes, I just have to scan them in...

Oh yeah, Ange...forgot to mention some meal ideas we use...CROCKPOT!!!!...I got a recipe book with all slow-cooker recipes with 5 ingredients or less...I throw it together at night, put in fridge, then write myself a note to plug it in in the morning (yes, my memory it THAT bad since I've had the baby!!!)  You get to walk in the door to that wonderful smell of a nice roast & veggies, etc, etc....

Here they are:

The one with the goofy face, his teeth were driving him crazy, and he was trying to grind one molar into the other to give him some relief, but he had a really funny face...

Ange - I feel your pain.  It does get easier.  You'll fall into a routine, but I am also hating being back at work.  I just feel like I'm not doing a good job at anything because I'm being pulled in too many directions.  I'm just trying to make the best of it since I don't have a choice either.  Oh and with dinner, can your dh cook?  I am very lucky because mine can.  He is in charge of dinner.  He plans menus and makes the grocery list most of the time and then cooks most nights.  He's a good cook too.

Jodi - I hope Morgan is feeling better.

MomtoRee- Good luck with the sleep training.  We are in the same boat.  It seems I have to retrain Susana every couple of weeks or so.  I can't remember the last time we had more than one peaceful night of sleep in a row.

jill-Those pictures are adorable!  As for the birthday cake, I don't know what we are going to do about Susana.  I'd like to let her have a cake, but it doesn't look like she'll grow out of the milk intolerance by then.  I'll probably make a carrot cake from scratch so I can be sure it doesn't contain any milk or milk byproducts but I have no idea what to do about the icing.  I usually make cream cheese icing for carrot cake but that's out, so maybe I'll just make a glaze out of sugar and water or something.  Any ideas anyone?   

Well I think we are officially walking.  Susana has been taking a few steps here and there for awhile, but they wre always towards us and she would grab onto you as soon as possible.  Today she just stood up and waddled over to some toys.  She loses her balance after a few steps but no sign of fear anymore. :shock:

susanas mom-maybe you could bake the carrot cake, but have one for susana with a glaze frosting and one with cream cheese.

I would like to give Connor some of his cake, too...Actually, I have a really special one on order, its a 'construction site' with dump trucks on the top, he gets to keep the dumptrucks as toys.

BUT...until I know what to do with this potential peanut allergy, I think the cake will be for everybody else except Connor, because I don't trust bakeries that they keep surfaces with nut dust clean...I'm worried about peanut residue ending up in some of the cake...Is that paranoid??

I think I might make a vanilla cake (or cupcakes) with some sort of topping that's not icing..

Our B-Day party is this saturday...

phoebe-congrats on the walking...that's exciting!  for the icing, you could do powdered sugar and soy margarine...really sugary though.  or fresh fruit puree alone or mixed with a non-dairy whipped topping.  why do i get hungry every time i visit this thread?   :lol:

jill-i think once you become a mother, you should officially change your middle name to "paranoid"...this past year i have been absolutely sure that my child would come down with every sort of infectious disease from SARS to the avian flu...don't even get me started on the peanut allergy fears!

Lindsey - The fresh fruit puree sounds like a good idea.  She can't have soy margarine because she has a soy protein intolerance as well and non-dairy topping contains dairy.  In fact you wouldn't beleive how many things contain dairy that say they are non-dairy. 

jill- Is Connor allergic to peanuts or are you just worried he might be?
