    I do this one all the time. "Do you want the baby, or to clean up the dishes?" "Do you want to watch the baby, or make dinner?" Etc. It's not even a ploy to get him to do something - I ask that for most times when he's at home and there are two things that need to be done. Maybe he'd rather watch the baby, maybe he'd rather do the work - if I'm good...

    You might try getting a different kind of carrier. I have a Pikkolo (expensive, but very easy to use), which is a soft sided carrier (like a Baby Bjorn, but with a hip belt so it's not so hard on the back) and a Baby K'tan (still not cheap, but also easy to use), which is like a Moby, but so much easier to use. My daughter rides in both of these forward...

    did you use a new colander or an old one? a new wooden spoon or an old one? was anyone in the house eating bread? have anything else that day? there is so much space for contamination that is not just the food you eat, and not all reactions are at the same meal.

    /thumbs up to kareng for the translation. "Weird" has so many contextual uses - don't assume it's bad. You already said she was being playful. Communication is FAR more than the words used, and her tone of voice/behavior tells you what she means by it.

    You might also try looking at if there are particular foods that are aggravating the condition. Dairy can exacerbate reflux, as can some other foods, including gassy ones like cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage).

    Even at the regular grocery store, you can often find Adams - they have a variety that doesn't have any added oil. But yeah - I would add veggies to that list. You could make a stir fry with them, or a salad. Avocados are good too (trader joe's has frozen ones!). Hot cereal (like millet or buckwheat, not so much rice) with flax meal and almonds? Nature...

    ((hugs)) My condolences. I'm glad you two had such a long and loving journey together.

    And there are a few mustards (I've seen them at Safeway) that have wheat starch. Always read the label.

    that's why I say rude or not - I'm perfectly happy letting them know that I think they're morons for not knowing basics about food. (rude? arrogant? whichever. ) certainly I won't advocate everyone does it, because I have annoyed people by doing it, but people not thinking about things that they would know if they thought for just a moment is kind of a pet...

    Rude or not, I do not hesitate to give people who make statements like this a "are you really that stupid" look, and am a bit sarcastic in my response.

    I used to be bigger (C cup), but I was also overweight. Through diet and exercise, I got down to a B which was FAR better (less bounce-induced pain, more clothes fitting properly). Now that I'm breastfeeding, they're more like D cups (well, they vary between B and D depending on how long since the little one last ate... :/). I cannot wait to go back to...

    Are you already dairy free? It's not common at all, but in a few cases, it's possible for dairy to be the culprit of villi destruction.

    This is a place particularly prone to SAD (seasonal affective disorder), and as that plays havoc with a number of chemicals, it can certainly affect your digestive system. I was dx'ed with Celiac before I moved here, and my fibro was due to a very stressful, extended job situation. The rapidly cycling weather (barometric pressure, really) definitely did...

    I'd say there's a very good reason to stay gluten free - you feel better that way. Why do something that you know hurts you? I mean, you could just as easily bang your head into the doorjam every time you walk into a bathroom, because there's no good reason not to, aside from it being unnecessary and hurting.

    a few years ago, I started turning down the lights in the evening, avoiding the computer/tv in the half hour or hour before bed, and generally trying to let my environment better reflect that natural light environment; definitely has been a good move on the sleep front.

    If you're car camping (not backpacking), you can get a day or two out of a lot of ice in a well packed cooler kept in the shade. It also means you can bring plenty of canned goods and make meals out of those. Think canned veggies and meat (like tuna). Fresh fruit may be just fine, depending on where you're going and how long you're out.

    Regardless of his claim that you can stay in bed and not bother him, you are clearly bothering him. So get out of bed and leave the room when you wake up (quietly, of course). It might also help if you TELL HIM that you are going to do something about this if it's still a problem in a few weeks. I might ask, though, why you're waiting? You're not...

    MommyStina's post is the reason why, no matter her reason, it's best to accept her decision (to not have you hold the baby, play with the little girl, etc.). Heavens knows that hormones do funny things to us with little ones, and life is too stressful to take on things we don't need to. Your cousin should know if it needs to be addressed (even if he's hesitant...

    It, like many other things, is only a yuck factor for many folks in the US because they weren't exposed to it or were told it was yucky. There are a number of cultures that partake in food cooked differently than we do. (Ceviche anyone?)
  21. tarnalberry
    Definitely have to read the label on anything you buy. The enchilada sauce is your likely culprit, but I saw that Mission is making "handmade corn tortillas" (or some other fancy sounding tortilla that's called a corn tortilla, but has wheat in the ingredients).
  22. tarnalberry
    It doesn't even sound like it was a bad decision, just one that you would do differently with your current knowledge. Sounds a lot like my first 12 weeks as a parent :/ Make the best decisions you can AS you make them, and you're doing the best you can.
  23. tarnalberry
    Without family here, I probably won't do the whole works, but I'll make the turkey (my husband *loves* turkey), and sweet potato fries (baby will be starting solids right around that time and she can partake in the sweet potato) and probably some baked apples. Mini-thanksgiving dinner. Hubby gets to hold the baby while I make him dinner.
  24. tarnalberry
    I also have never had labels on anything at PF Changs. I haven't eaten there in six months or so, but still...
  25. tarnalberry
    I'd ask her. Something along the lines of: "I'm sorry to have to ask this, but you seem to let others hold the baby except me. Others can play with the three year old except me. Is there something I did or said that is bothering you? I don't want to impose, but I can't help but feel that there might be a misunderstanding here." There's a time to beat...
