I'm sure if I mentioned the thought of packing a disposable camera so we can catch anything we might miss while at daycare, PBW would quit her job on the spot.
For the past 8 weeks she's been around him constantly 24/7. This is not going to be easy.

ladygodiva, formula is a supplement for breast milk that has nurients to help the baby grow. I am still breastfeeding Chloe, but she lost some weight b/t the time she left the hospital to her first nurse's appointment. I went to her pediterian, and he told me to give her formula to help her gain weight, but also give her breast milk. well, after a week and a half of being on the formula/breast milk diet, Chloe is now 7 lbs and 7 1/2 oz. it makes me SO happy that she is gaining weight.
yesterday, we went to her pediterian, for what I thought was a regular check-up, but when I got there, they told me she was getting her first shot: Hepitis B. I was in total shock when they told me this.I didn't have any warning about it.
My boyfriend and I were talking about shots and wondering if our daughter should get them or not b/c I know that these vaccations have the disease in it. it was so hard seeing her getting her shot. she cried for a while. Poor thing:( it hurt and broke my heart seeing her like that. ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~

And maybe just pick up dinner on Monday so you can all have a quiet evening without dinner to cook and dishes to clean up.
Without sounding too negative, and not wanting to upset PBM, I doubt they'd do it. I'm a nanny of two and try to take pics of the kids when I can. But a daycare is a different story.This is the greatest band in the world -- Ben Harper0 -
OK, I just wanted to add, I personally have issues with daycare. I feel that most of the time they're about the 'bottom line' instead of the kids. Sorry, I just had to get that out.This is the greatest band in the world -- Ben Harper0

when I go back to work, my boyfriend and i are going to take care of Chloe. he is going to take care of her while I am at work, and i am going to take care of her while he is at work. the beauty part is that he works less than a block from where we live
we both feel that it is in the best interest of our daughter. Even if I have to cut my work hours to be with her more. Plus, I don't think my boss would understand that I would have to use the breast pump every 2-3 hours so my milk supply won't dry out. Heck, he didn't even understand me when I was pregnant. Coming into work for one day as soon as I leave for maternity leave?! I mean, come on! :rolleyes: ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~

Also, PBW will be returning to work on Monday...after an 8 week maturnity leave. In addition to going back to work, we will be taking Xavier to daycare. Monday will be difficult.

good luck to the both of you on monday. ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~

I didnt want to say it either but I know most daycares around here, dont allow cameras because sadly we live in a world with sick fucking people and you just dont know anymore.
At Joey's Xmas concert, parents had to sign a permission form to allow other parents to take a picture of the class performing. Its sad really.
Good luck to you guys today. Not like I really need to say but, be sure to give PBW lots of support and love today, I remember all too well exactly how she's feeling right now, she'll definately need someone in her corner to console her. I agree with Gen's idea too, grab some take out, today will be long and hard enough on you as it is.
Sadly, in some cases, Daycare centres are the only option some people have, you gotta do, what you gotta do...www.myspace.com/quietrhythm

Nadia, that's awesome!!!! I hope what I say doesn't offend anyone, but I really believe a kid should be with his/her parents. I was in daycare from the time I was 3 months old. I remember it being really hard that the other kids' moms would come see them and volunteer in the classroom and mine wouldn't. Maybe that's why I decided to nanny again...my own kind of therapy or something.This is the greatest band in the world -- Ben Harper0 -

hmmmm.
I had never thought about the no camera policy.
What is this world coming to!
Adria had her first "Flu"
this past weekend.
Man I felt soooo bad for her.
But heres a tip.
Pedialyte with Tylenol really helped.
I bought the pedialyte with no flavor and its clear. So almost like water.
What a life saver. Really helped her feel better and bring down her fever.
I chose not to get her the flu shot. And Im still ok with that decision.
worst thing was we went home to Winnipeg to surprise my best friend and my mom.
Got a cheap flight through Airmiles.
So I had to travel alone on a plane with her.
Good times! the person below me smells like cat pee and raisins...0 -
While we're not high on taking Xavier to daycare but, sadly, it's really our only option.
My parents are in Michigan and her parents are an hour away (and her mom still works).
On the positive side, this is a daycare facility run by the local hospital. It comes highly recommended (several anchors at our tv station take their kids there) and you can literally see the facility from the parking lot of where we work. We are two minutes away.
MeddleDeal, they asked us about the Hep B shot while we were still in the hospital...I believe it was 2 days after he was born.
AmentsChick, I know where you're coming from...personal attention is key. At this point though, it's not financially feasible for either one of us to stay home...much to PBW's chagrin.

That's actually really cool that it is run by the hospital. That should definitely put your mind at ease!
I guess my point was also this, being a nanny and primary care-giver, I experience all the milestones (and not so important daily activities) that mom & dad are missing out on. I'm known Mia since she was 3 months old...now she's almost walking.
My mom confessed to me this past Christmas Day that her biggest regret was not being home with us. I cried and so did she.
My greatest hope is that when it is time for me to have kids, the man I marry will be ok with me wanting to stay home.This is the greatest band in the world -- Ben Harper0 -

It's not easy for either of us...and it's not by choice. I would like nothing more than for one of us to stay home but, with us (and I assume many families) it's not financially possible.
However, family is first for me, so when I'm not obligated to be at work...I'm right by Xavier's side and can't wait to experience life with him.

Im curious about this Hep B shot.
Ive never had that offered to me either in the hospital, or afterwards. It wasnt until grade 7 before I got mine. They were offered in a series of 3 shots but I had a really bad reaction to the first one and wasnt able to get the other two.
I was told that Joey wouldnt need immunization until he was 2 months, then 4 months, 6months, 12months, 18 months and then again at 4-6 years old.
Maybe its just difference in country? Gen, did you have the Hep shot offered to you?www.myspace.com/quietrhythm

my boyfriend was a little mad that they didn't ask us about the hep. b shot. At least, I thought they would ask us. Only my mom and I were there at the doctor's office and my mom was in shocked when they told us that Chloe would be needing a shot. ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~ø~

They did ask us...the nurses came in and asked if we wanted them to do give him the shot in the hospital or wait and talk it over with our doctor at our first follow-up visit.

I had to go look in my immunization book.
There appears to be a place for them to mark off getting it.
3 slots marked 1, 2,3.
But she has not had it.
I know my friend in Bermuda had it given to her baby.
It must just have to do with location.
Just like she has to do Fluoride drops.
And I have to give Vitamin D drops.
Different strokes for different folks.
But on a similar thread I heard something about Fluoride being really bad.
Some people talking about wanting it gone from some areas water supplies.
And some people wanting it gone from toothpaste even.
i will look for the article and post it.the person below me smells like cat pee and raisins...0 -

hmm this seems to be the best I can do.
all the papers want me to subscribe to the online versions in order to find the article.the person below me smells like cat pee and raisins...0
