I remember visiting friends in Ohio and being at a restaurant with them. I asked for sweet tea and looked like I had two heads. The waitress finally said we have regular tea and if you need sugar there is some on the table. I ordered a coke
I know! I ordered sweet tea in DC once and my MIL had to tell me that they don't have that there. The waitress said, I can bring you some tea and there is sugar and splenda on the table.  I ordered a Dr. Pepper instead.
Interesting. My parents live 45 minutes ousth of DC and everyone there serves sweet tea.

Josiah had never seen a woman with such severe morning sickness
But I thought you contracted an illness on top of morning sickness. Didn't your subsequent pregnancies go a lot easier?

Maggie, are you in a craigslist area? Or maybe someone is giving one away on freecycle?
I took Jimmy back to the doctor today because I didn't think his ear infection was gone, even after the antibiotic shot. I saw a new doctor today, and she said there is fluid in both ears, but no infection. Well, if there's fluid in there and his ears are incapable of draining themselves then it will be an ear infection again. There was nothing the doc could do really. She just told me to give him ibuprofen if it bothers him. Well, this is almost the third bottle of ibuprofen since January. I hate just putting a bandaid on it. Ibuprofen won't fix his ears. There aren't any baby chiropractors in my area that take our insurance, and Walgreens doesn't know where to find Pulsatilla. I think I may call the kids' own doc today and ask him to refer me to a pediatric rhinolaringologist.
Question, which drug dries up mucous? It is an expectorant, right? Like children's cold medicine? The doctor I saw today hinted that it would dry up the fluid in his ears, but "they" don't recommend children under two having them but Walgreens will give me the proper dosage for a baby his weight. It was almost like she was telling me to buy some, but not directly.
I'm a little worried about Jimmy's hearing. He has not made any new consanant sounds since he was 6 months old. He knows D, R, G and B and that's it.

That's obnoxious. They're so afraid of liability they don't want to tell you what to give him?  You don't want an expectorant...that is to loosen up a cough. You want an antihistamine, to dry up the excess fluid. Benadryl would work or store brand cold/allergy medicine. I'd lean toward the cold/allergy meds for an ear thing. If you get some and PM me what the bottle says and how much he weighs, I'll tell you how much I would give my kids. There are also over the counter ear drops you can buy that will help reduce the pain. Similisan makes them, not sure if anyone else does.
ETA...true, Jess. But if she's just looking for something to work for a while, hopefully until she can find a good deal on a nice one, a cheap umbrella might work.

Ohhh, bendryl! Jimmy's had that before for the rash. I dunno what I did with it though. I remember we gave him 3/4 teaspoon. Walgreens does the math for me when it comes to that kind of thing. And they give me these nifty little bottle plugs and syringes to make it easier to administer medicine. Thanks Donna! I'm glad I didn't go out and buy an expectorant!

Sweet iced tea is also up north! Maybe it's a Mennonite thing. But I LOVE sweet iced tea. It's made this way: boil water, add tea bags, steep & remove, add lots of sugar, cool, dilute with water and serve.
I remember the first time I ordered iced tea down in the states and they brought unsweetened stuff - ewww, yuck!

I make it almost the same way. I don't boil the water, but use the hottest tap water we have (too hot for hands to be in). I also add cold, cold water immediately after stirring the sugar in...I don't cool it first.

That's how I make it. When I make it. I stopped making it a couple years ago when we stopped doing so much refined sugar. But it sure is GOOD!

Christina- If Jimmy has constant ear problems that would be why he isn't making any other sounds most probably. The first thing we do when a kid has speech problems is to get their ears checked, and those who have a speech probably most often have lots of ear infections or fluid in the ears or need gromits.

Nicole, that's what I was thinking too. It's hard to explain, but I can feel that there is something wrong. I feel like the fluid is keeping him from hearing properly hence the reason he hasn't said any new consanants since he was 6 months old. Like he can mimick syllables when we're face to face...I'll say, "ma ma ma" and he'll say, "ra ra ra". Or, I'll say "maaaaaaa" and he'll say "baaaaaaaa". It only seems like coincedence when he happens to say the same consanant as me.
The receptionist at the doc's office will have my doc call us back on Monday morning in regard to talking about a referral to the ENT specialist. I kinda want Jimmy to get tubes, but I don't. OI just wish there was an easier way to drain the fluid from his ears without a benedryl regimen (which I won't be doing). But, I will give it to him this time.
I really like my doc, but the way gas prices are going, I was looking to find a doc in my town so I don't have to drive up the hill anymore. The only one doesn't take my insurance. ARG!

Fruit contains other nutrients and is building good eating habits, IMO. The juice that WIC gives us for Gabby is 100% juice but it contains almost no vitamins except for the Vitamin C that was added.
Btw, we decided she won't be having any juice unless she's constipated.

True, but we don't drink much juice anyway and I won't be buying it just for Gabby... She can certainly drink veggie juice

Excellent Maggie! Well done, lady.
And I love the imitations, too. Nathan has learned to wipe his hands together when he's got dirt or something on them. It's to funny the way he does it.

Josiah had never seen a woman with such severe morning sickness, and his mother had 7 children after him and his older brother. As a nurse he also saw lots of pregnant women. He didn't understand how I could be so sick and it really frustrated him, but he loved me so he took care of me. 
So I don't blame them too much.
