  • Good Morning Mommies!!!!

    I hope everyones week gets better than last week:flowerforyou:

    3BB- When I was in 6th Grade I fell from a swivel chair, the ones my parents told me to never stand on, n sliced a 5 stitch gash(plus it was so deep they had to use dissolvable stitches inside) about a half a centimeter from the corner of my right eye, the actual getting of the gash was no where nearas painful as getting the stitches, weird, but they have to put numbing shots around the eye n I even got one on my eyelid n those hurt SO bad, I know ur little guys pain, n to be that young, gosh poor guy. I hope he starts feeling better n if you dont want the scare to be seen put Vitamin E oil on it every night, it can be expensive by itself so my mom just bought Vitamin E gel capsules n we popped them with a needle n used the oil from there lol

    iftcheiaf- I know what you mean about the GYN n weight issues sorta. When I was preggo all my OB/GYN talked about was my weight gain, always telling me to eat healthier n stuff, which I did but I kept gaining weight n I was so swelled up I have stretchmarks on my calves but she wouldnt put me on bedrest, ugh n then she was so rude on delivery day, needless to say I didnt go see her for my 6week postpartum check up. Sorry I rambled... I hope everything at the checkup goes well for you n keep going in your weightloss journey!!

    mrsbuzz-Way to go for getting those workouts in!! With my 2month old I try to find time but usually I just end up napping while he is too lol I need a good kick in the butt everyonce in a while

    gotttaluvboyz- Cheers:drinker: Im hoping this week goes much better!

    MM- Only getting a couple hours of sleep n still planning on working out, you are my hero lol Good Job! And I hope you can get the rat thing figured out soon!

    abetterme- Thats so funny, wrapping your boys in bubble wrap :laugh: Glad you got the VCR hooked up, have fun working out!!


    Ok so my week last week had its ups n downs, but yesterday was a great start to this week. Went to church, then went to my old job to get my job back will be starting that soon (Bed Bath n Beyond so lots of walking n climbing ladders!! Yay exercise on the job!!) Then went out to have lunch with a friend, then we came back home n Ayden was in his swing making funny faces n when I picked him up there was poo on the swing, n the blanket n his clothes... another blowout...fun... But I honestly take that as a blessing because he didnt struggle with his poop or gas n he was happy n content all day, such a relief, I think hes starting to grow out of his gassy stage, he seems to be able to eat a lot better with little to know air getting swallowed n he burps better.... I dont want to jinx anything but I may be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel... Plus last night he fell asleep right after the football game so I put him in his bassinet n he woke up 2 more times, after I was done pumping n then after Id brshed my teeth washed my face n gotten ready for bed, downed about another 3oz in those two feedings combined then he was asleep by 11 n slept til 3 A FOUR HOUR STRETCH havent had one of those in a while!! then he was up again around 530, n was off n on 2 or 3 times til around 730 n he just crashed again around 930 n is sleeping on me now.. Im hoping things are getting a bit easier!!

    wow that was a long ramble lol sorry:blushing: today should be fun if Ayden poops n doesnt have a big struggle. My best friend since 3rd grade is coming over n we're having a House marathon leading up to the new episode tonight!!! We both LOVE that show n I'm making turkey sloppy joes, yum! I just have to say I thank God everyday for all of my friends who when they know I'm down cuz hubby left n am stressed with the baby. they all try to come see m n hang out n cheer me up a bit, I love my girls!

    Ok so this was long, but I hope everyone has a wonderful week n a Fantastic Monday!!

    Hey there! My wife (Musicmom) mentioned that you were going back to you job at BBB. Welcome back from one Bed bath and beyonder to another :bigsmile:

    lol Yea its not so bad of a job I'm glad I'm not on hardside like I used to be, skinny girl trying to lift a cookware set up a ladder, not good lol, but I was stronger back then I dunno how I'd do it now.... fortunately I'm in the Harmon department now, does your store have one... its like a knock of walgreens that has a contract with BBB and is set up in the store... Health n Beauty stuff so I like it lol
  • OK ladies, so as I mentioned my best friend since 3rd grade come over today for a marathon of House leading to the new episode, that was all fun n dandy hanging with her but Ayden was just so fussy.. ugh definitely not as a successful as hanging with my other two girls at Rice Village... but I guess I'll have to get used to it.... sometimes I'm envious of hubby... hes in training right now and is buddies with a couple of the guys who are with him, so hes getting to hang with them without a baby at night and works with them during the day n I'm just jealous that he doesnt have to cart Ayden around with him everywhere... He called me the other day from the mall up there because it was their day off.... what I wouldnt give to just have a day off to walk around the mall without having to be embarassed that my child was getting fussy from gas or having to stop n feed him.... I probably sound like a horrible person, I'm just not used to this and after two months I'm still not used to it and its making losing the weight harder.. I wish we had the money that when I got kinda down like this I could go get a mani & pedi or a massage or even just a movie ticket to cheer myself up but at the moment things are really tight, living paycheck to paycheck and so the easiest thing to cheer me up is the food around me... If I were living on my own itd be different, I just wouldnt buy the junk food to have in the house in the first place but I live with my parents for the time being and they're big junk foodies... ugh I've been on the verge of crying since my friend left because Im so sad n guilty that I ate so much tonight n Ive only gotten to talk to hubby once a day pretty much since he left n its only for like 10-15 minutes.... and hes got really bad reception so its all gargly and texts barely every get through....

    I just wish I could fast forward my life to when Ayden is older n I didnt have to do everything for him, hubby would be back from Iraq, we'd be in our own place, better income... ugh....

    all I can say is WOW ladies you make me glad I have girls....I don't know if I could haddle on the ER trips.....although I was the 5 year old the jumped off the top bunk bed and landed on a wooden rocking chair and broke of part in my head....yeah ouch and it took 2 drs & 7 nurses & my mom to hold me down to ge t 2 little stitches...I remeber threating a boy that pulled my hair that I would stab him with my stiches...:laugh: ....lol....I was an orney little brat

    My daughters both had gassy problems.....I used a lot of gas drops in the first 5 months of their lives...my oldest also had acid reflux and my youngest has a very sensitive tummy....she used to throw up when she tried to poop because she pushed so hard.....I found that rubbing her tummy in a circular motion (with her intestines) helps to move the poo and made it easier on her pushing...I wish you luck

    Time to play catch-up

    Jessica, thompsons, Glbride01, audry, and anyone else new I might have missed - WELCOME!

    Supermom - I remember those days of wanting rest and things to change so that life became easier. I hate to tell you, life just changes. Not necessarily easier or harder as they get older. Just different. Enjoy the time now when he is clinging to you because when they get about eight, suddenly you're not as smart, or as needed as you once were. :sad: :sad: :sad:

    Lenece - Love the new pics. Adorable.

    drevans_mom - Sorry to hear about sick hubby. Mine was doped up on Nyquil and Tylenol PM last night he was feeling so bad. This time of year ain't so great for him either. And what is worse (and I love the guy), that just means I end up with one more child. Hopefully both our guys will feel better today.

    For anyone I missed - Sorry. You guys are just way too fast on here. :)

    Good morning everyone.

    My day consists of trying to concentrate on actually getting work done today - been a little spacey lately. Going to my yearly check up and stepping on that dreaded scale, in addition to all the other fun-ness of going to the GYN. Can't get to the gym today, so have to figure out some other form of exercise. Kids, homework, laundry, dinner, bible meeting tonight, etc, etc, etc.

    Hope everyone has a great and successful day.

    Welcome back, Audry! Lyn & I have a TJ thread, too if you're intested in posting there.

    Supermom - it doesn't matter if you're 18 or 45 with a newborn...EVERY mom wants a day to herself. ALL of us. That doesn't make you a bad mommy. *hugs* I won't say it gets better, but it'll get different. Every stage & every age comes with a new set of learning experiences for you & the baby. New challenges, new milestones. My oldest had the gas problems, too. Giving him extra tummy time seemed to help when he was struggling with getting it out.

    Ift - have a good day & good luck with the dr. Ech.

    Welcome to the new mommies!

    MM - Yuck about the mice in the walls. I was in a hotel one time where I could hear them. *shudders* You should bug your landlord to get an exterminator in there! Hope you had a good day yesterday & that today is even better!

    ABetterMe - You were cracking me up with your boy stories. My dad lived 4 months at a time on his grandparents' farm with his 3 brothers & occassionally some of his sisters. He has more scars from those summers b/c back then, you didn't take them to the hospital, kwim? Hay lofts, cows, tractors. LOTS of injuries. I hope that you don't have a trip to the ER any time soon!

    Lyn - That's funny that Dre said that. The nurse asked Z what happened & he said, "Daddy hurt me in the big red beast!" We call the Suburban the Big Red Beast b/c it is usually bigger than anything in the parking lots we go to. I was expecting the 5th degree from the nurse after that, but she LAUGHED about it and said, "we have the funniest kids in here today.":indifferent: I think if Doug would have been with me, I could understand the giggles, but since Daddy was a no-show, more questions probably should have been asked...well...if it was me anyways. :bigsmile: Have a TJ filled day!

    Dana - lovely family picture! I'm glad you're taking the kids to a counselor. There's a lot of information on the internet about foods & ADHD & what you can eliminate from their diets to lessen the "symptoms" of it to avoid medication. Good luck coping with it!

    Musicmom - May I say how much I enjoy being on the same team with your husband? He's delightful. Your story about dragging the kids to school cracked me up. When I was still working, I took Z to daycare & was SO angry that their doors weren't open yet. Turns out all the newletters they were giving me had "information" on them & they were closed on Columbus Day for an inservice. Was I supposed to read those things? LOL At least you got your grocery shopping in...I guess. :ohwell:

    I'm sure I missed somebody and I'm sorry. As I was typing, Zeke started flushing rubberbands down the toilet. Once again...he's in the corner. :angry: His head is looking better today. It was nasty yesterday; swollen, purple, yucky. Today, the swelling is down, but the purple just keeps spreading. Speech therapy & grocery shopping today so I won't be around much. Wish me luck!

    Have happy Tuesdays! :flowerforyou:

    I'm working on a sleeping deficit, but I did sleep better last night. Ladies, listen to me! If you or one of your family members are coughing, put Vick's rub on the feet and put socks over them. It helps a whole lot! I just forgot to do it the night before last, so I was coughing all night.
    Today is tumbling. Hopefully he will do better. The therapist said I can tell the instructor that Alex is "reserved" (which he is) but not tell her that he is autistic, unless I see a reason to tell her. So I need to tell her that today. He should do better today and over the next couple of weeks.
    If I am up to it today then I am going to do taebo this afternoon. I ran for thirty minutes on the wii yesterday which made me sweat but I don't know that it's enough to really do anything.
    I hope you all are well this morning and if you are not that you get better quickly!
    Have a good day!

  • Oh my poor little guy!! Good thing he is young though cause man do they bounce back!! The day after christmas my son(Step) Was in a bad snowmobile accident! He ran into a tree cause he lost control. He got 13 stitches in his face, broke his nose, cheek bone, both radius and ulna in his right arm, and the ball of the femur in his right leg! He had surgery to screw the ball back on 3 screws! He had surgery later to fix his nose and cheek bone. He was a trooper through the whole ordeal! He was so amazing had it been me I would of cried like a baby. But he starts therapy this week and will be in a wheel chair for a couple months!

    Good Morning Mommies,

    Well I sent Anthony to school today (the 3year old) I think he got to use to sleeping in in the mornings cause he was a grouch. Dad said he was bouncing off the walls last night so he needed to go back to school today so we'll see how he does with his leg. The 5 boys and myself have dentist appointments this afternoon, Elizabeth will go next time around he won't see them until they are 3 or unless something is wrong with there teeth, and she doesn't turn 3 until March. Not a lot new here this morning.

    MM-I have done that before with a couple of my kids, it works wonders.

    supermom--I use to roll a bath towel up and put my son on his tummy on the towel, it seem to work for him. A lot of extra tummy time also. Do you have anyone that would watch Ayden (sorry if I got his name wrong or miss spelled my brain is quit awake yet) so you could have an hour or so to yourself?

    CrystalOKeefe--So sorry to hear about your stepson. How old is he? It is amazing how quick kids bounce back. They sure recover quicker than we adults do.

    I am still trying to figure out what to have for breakfast this morning so before I grab something I shouldn't I had bettter go get something to eat. Talk to ya all a little later.

    Have a great day:flowerforyou:

    Well I actually made it to the gym today. I usually just do a workout video at home. My oldest was in school and I took my youngest with my to the tots in tow program. She let me do 30 min on the eliptical so I was excited. Other than that a boreing day. Making dinner now. We are in Germany so it is almost 6 pm.

    abetterme- My two girls have dentist apts on Thursday. Our pediatric dentist actually sees babies as soon as they get teeth so my 7 month old is going. I find it a little strange but we will see.

    crystalokeefe- Oh how I miss freecycle. I got a tredmil off of there also. We did not move it with us and I wish I had. Sorry about your son! My oldest just turned 7 and she is crazy about camp rock.

    Everyone have a good Tuesday!

    New to site. Not so new to weight loss. I have struggled as long as I can remember with my weight. I have PCOS, which makes controlling my weight hard but if I get it under control it controls the PCOS. So it is a big cycle. Anyway I have been a SAHM for the last 5 years since my husband joined the military. Before I got pregnant with my lo I lost 60lbs. I however still have 20 of baby weight that I have never lost and at least another 20 beyond that. I have mostly been doing work out video's and walking since I can do that with my children. That is the problem because in the past in order for me to really lose weight I have to get a really good cardio workout in. I am eating the right foods and calories so I just need to find a god workout routine. Sorry for rambleing, just wanted to introduce myself a little.

    Welcome:flowerforyou:

    This is a great and wonderful site. Everyone here is really encouraging and helpful!!! Good luck!!!

    Yes it seems like a really nice site. I was already logging my food intake in a journal but this site is great espeically for the message boards. I am a message board addict!

    Wow your poor son, Crystal! I am glad he wasn't killed or paralyzed or something, but that sounds horrible! I would have been a mess, probably more so from one of my kids being in an accident.

    Ok I guess I have no clue how to put a picture here...

    I was wondering where you poofed to! You poor woman & that poor boy of yours!! That looks painful! :frown:

    Thompson - good job making it to the gym already today!

    Beth - Zeke's been telling anyone that'll listen, "Daddy hurt me!" (the grocery store today, Micah's speech therapy, random people in the parking lot) so I am already getting a dose of the child blabs. :tongue:

    MM - I hope tumbling goes well today! I agree. Don't tell them he's autistic. Some people freak. *eye roll*

    Morning ladies.
    I just have to say I'm SO happy that it's Tuesday and my son goes back to school and my parents are gone and I'm jumping back on the wagon. I can't say I fell off over the weekend but it sure was draggin me along. Yesterday was the worst. By the time I went to bed I was literally sick to my stomach because of all the crap I ate. So today is a new day and I'm gonna get my workout in and I'm going to eat right.
    Hubby is home again...feeling a little better but since they don't have any work to do he's going to take another day off...yea :grumble:
    MM-yes the vicks and socks thing works....My mom used to do that for us as kids....crazy but it works.
    Crystal- your son is extremely lucky. A good friend of mine in high school hit a cow (yes a cow) on his snow machine and was in a coma for a while, when he woke up he was never the same. He had to relearn the alphabet and everything.
    Well I should get moving, I woke up late (Adi decided that midnight was a good time to play for a few hours) and I need to get my workout in.
    Have a great day

  • ok ladies, sorry but I have to seriously vent..... so I gained back the two pounds Id lost by Sat, munching when I was stressed yesterday didnt help... I was all determined to stick to it today n so far I have til I get a call from hubby that his readiness NCO is a dumb *kitten* n changed the type of orders their unit would be switching to so now Tricare, our health insurance wont be kicking in n he wont be getting paid til March!!! WTF!!! We have a 2 month old son who cant go to the dr now because he has no health insurance!! Hubby n I didnt get officially married until after Ayden was born so my dads health insurance covered Ayden for 30 days after he was born, n hubby's was supposed to kick in by now for his two month visit. AND hes not getting paid til March! We were planning a party to celebrate getting married since it was only at the JP but I cant put a deposit on the place I wanted to have it at or for any of the food etc etc so thats totally off.... I just want to down a big bag of cheetos n a coke n anything we have sweet in the house.... whats the point of losing the weight by March now anyways since Im not going to be wearing a nice dress for the celebration.... n all I do is sit at home with Ayden, who effin cares!! Im in a horrible mood and its looking like Im going to have to try and go fulltime at Bed Bath n Beyond if they have the hours for it, but I dont even know if the medical insurance kicks in right away or if it takes 3 months like other places..... ugh SCREW LIFE!! SCREW THE ARMY!! SCREW SGT WICK!!!

    Supermom, get ready. SAHM unite! From us to you.

    So sorry about the frustration. That sucks big time. But March is still two months away, so don't give up. Can I give you a little something I did? I got my wedding dress on e-bay for $17 dollars. And remember, you are much better than the army and Sgt Wick and we all know you are definitely stronger than probably even you realize. The insurance thing really blows. I hate the politics of getting a job for insurance but then not getting the insurance. Nickle and diming. But we are here for you. VENT AWAY. :heart:

    Just my own whatever ladies. Went for my yearly, which is now being moved to every six months due to ovaries and pain on the cysts. Just want to monitor it, make sure that it doesn't change into something ugly as my whole family and their reproductive organs turn cancerous. Only 34, so not quite ready for the hormone replacement therapy that would come with getting my ovaries removed. But man, am I in pain now. After the poking and prodding from my doctor's visit, it always hurts 100 times worse. I feel so nauseous and doubling over here, but still have to work. And to add insult to injury, I have gained 4 lb since my last visit last year, which may not seem like a big deal but it is just another indication of me that I am letting it get out of control. Need to start reigning in a little tighter. Can I PLEASE just lose 10 lb before my next doctor's visit in six months. PLEASE!?!?!?! :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

    Anyway, not a big problem compared to most, but my little :explode: for the day. Thanks for listening.

    I'm not sure how this works, but both my girls got upper respitory infections the begining of January and I rubbed vicks on their feet and chest and they were better in 2 days and I got respitory infection too and didn't do my feet and chest for three days and after just 2 nights of vicking I was over it too

    So all i know is that it works!!

    Wow your poor son, Crystal! I am glad he wasn't killed or paralyzed or something, but that sounds horrible! I would have been a mess, probably more so from one of my kids being in an accident.

    Crystal, that picture is scary (handsome kid though). My kids went go-carting over the winter break with my husband. I couldn't even go and watch because I knew I would just suck the fun out of it them. Kids are definitely amazing. Hope his therapy goes well.

    That is awesome. You guys are great. This is the kind of stuff I need. My daughter is constantly getting fluid in her lungs and being diagnosed with "walking pneumonia" because of where it's located and hacking her poor little brains out during the night. Humidifiers, inhalers, etc., just aren't cutting it. But I am going to try this. You guys rock! Thanks.
