I should be in bed but I can't sleep! I thought I would post and let everyone know that I sent my person's exchange package out today. I sent a rather large package and the postage was ridiculous so I am sorry to say I did not send it priority so I am figuring it will be at least the middle of next week before my person will receive it! Sorry for the delay but I just couldn't afford that kind of postage!
Alright, Alice! Sounds like you got a great package!
Oh, and congrats to your Dh! I will continue to pray for him!
katerkat~ Congrats to your dh too! And congrats on Russ's bottom teeth. Kylie got her bottom 2 teeth at the same time too.
lissawynn~ Sorry about the nasty email you received! Some parents can be so ignorant sometimes!
2sweetangels~ I will put it this way. With my next child I am going to wait until he/she is atleast 6 months to start any type of solids. I started Kylie at 4 months per the pediatrician's recommendation and it was such a bad idea. She did not do well at all with it until she hit 6 months. And even now she only eats a little. I have a list that says she should be eating 1-2 tbsp of cereal a day and 4-8 tbsp of fruits and 4-8 tbsp of veggies a day between 6-8 months but she doesn't eat nearly that much! She is lucky if she eats even 1/4 of that. I give her a couple of tbsp of cereal and half a jar of fruit in the morning and I put a little of each on her spoon for each bite and I do the same at night except I give her half a jar of veggies instead of fruit and she never eats more than a quarter of it. I figure something is better than nothing though. She seems to really enjoy what she does eat...she just doesn't have a big appetite.
J&D~ Thanks for the link! Scott and I were going to get Kylie a gloworm among other things for Christmas but we changed our minds and got her an exersaucer and a couple of little things instead. Now I am glad we didn't get her the gloworm after reading that link! Scott and I both had gloworms when we were little too.
Tamie~ I am glad that it sounds like Tyler's rash mystery may have been solved! Hopefully the prescription will work. My brother had eczema when he was little too and I can't remember what the cream was that the dr. prescribed but it worked! Took care of it almost instantly! He also had very sensitive skin and was allergic to almost everything! And when he was little he was allergic to peanut butter and eggs really bad! They say not to let your baby try those foods until they are atleast a year and if the allergy runs in your family wait until they are 2. So we are going to try to wait until Kylie is 2 in case it is hereditary or something.
SL~ I had wondered the same thing about ear wax! My dh also has it really bad sometimes and the dr. told him to use peroxide to help flush it out. I never thought of doing that for Kylie as well. Duh! You would think I could put 2 and 2 together but apparently not, lol!
Vald~ Wow! I am sooo sorry your mother is being such a PITA! Try to have fun tomorrow (or today I guess I should say!) and overlook her. She is simply trying to make you feel badly when you have done nothing to deserve it. I have a great mom but my dad is almost exactly like you describe your mom! I have learned he is unreliable so whenever we make plans I don't count on those plans to actually happen and I usually make alternate plans just in case. 9 times out of 10 he cancels or backs out of any plans we make and then he tries to make me feel guilty as well.
joats~ Enjoy your Thanksgiving at home! I have such a hard time picturing snow since it is just now starting to get cooler outside here. I put a light jacket on Kylie this morning but I didn't wear one...it just doesn't get cold enough for snow often here. And when it does we usually end up with nasty ice storms which are no fun!
Hi, DisneyPhD, Gems, zalansky, Jill, and Hillbeans! Hope you are all doing well!
Sorry if I missed anyone...like I said I should be in bed!
I think I'll share a couple of things and then I will go to bed!
Yesterday I was in
Walmart (we don't have a Target so walmart it is!
) and I was buying a few last minute food items and it was crowded. There was about 10 other people on the same aisle. Well, this guy starts talking but I had no idea he was talking to me. He starts saying it like he knew the person he was talking to so I didn't pay any attention. Finally I realized he was talking to me so I looked up. Anyway, he was a little odd but he did say,"You did good to have such a pretty and sweet thing like her! My grammy would say ya done good!" I said thanks. I thought it was sweet (albeit a little creepy though!) but the whole conversation aside from that was a little...off. Still sweet though I guess.
Then today when I went to mail my package the lady who worked there asked how old Kylie was (she also held her while I made out a check). She said she guessed she was between 3-4 months. I told her she is nearly 7 months and she acted so shocked! She didn't believe me! I am so used to people saying how big she is that I was surprised someone thought she was only 3-4 months. I don't think she is huge but even I know she doesn't pass for a 3-4 month old baby! I guess it is all in each person's perception, huh?
Okay, last little story and then I am done. Last night dh was holding Kylie and she was getting sleepy. Well, when she gets sleepy she plays with her ears, her hair, her face, etc. She started playing with her hair and she pulled it REALLY hard! She gave dh this "if looks could kill" look and started crying hysterically! She literally did not want to be held by dh anymore and reached for me. I took her and she was fine but every time she would look at dh she would give him this mean look! It was hilarious! She thought he pulled her hair! She has since forgiven him though and she is definitely still a daddy's girl. The irony is my brother did the same exact thing when he was a baby. Perhaps it is a family thing?
Okay, well, I am going to bed now. We are going to my mom's for Thanksgiving and then we plan to put the tree up tonight and watch the Charlie Brown thanksgiving special! I just love the holidays!
Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving everyone!!!
I received a birthday gift card to Ann Taylor Loft and they have their own version of gymbucks. So I'm going to spend $50 (gift card) and get $25 that I can use after Thanksgiving and get a Christmas outfit. I want something other than jeans to wear to Thanksgiving too.
!
. I have been crying all morning.

I don't even know what to say. That's just horrible. I hope you have a good thanksgiving at your inlaws. That's just not fair for your mother to change plans like that. Did she really expect you to change yours back again and suddenly go to her house? I'm so sorry!!!
