taking a break
the voting for hilary thing was just a joke... i said IF she could fix it.. didnt say she would... and the worse part of the experience wasn't even expressed in the blog. anyway maybe i'll stop blogging for awhile.. i'm portraying myself badly. just know i have researched many things related to this, i'm not ignorant, i dont want her to have reflux but i do know how heavily reflux runs in seths family and if that is what she has the more i can control how bad it gets. i took her to the doctor and the doctor feels it is necessary to do a reflux study. anyway, no more ranting blogs for me.

Lindsey,
I think everyone was just sincerely trying to help. I understand that sometimes you might want to rant without hearing advice, and that is totally fine, just let us know. We would totally understand. And all of us tend to lean towards a more earthy style of parenting, so we tend to try everything we can before medicine, and any advice we give will probably reflect that. We weren't being critical of anything you were doing, we were just going over options and searching for solutions in the same way we would for our own children. I really think everyone was trying to share what they have learned through trial and error. It could be that each of us has parenting styles that differ enough that we won't always agree on what course of action to take, and that is okay. Plus, obviously some of us have had experiences that none of the others have, so it's great if we can express what has worked when. If I ever have a preemie, I know I can turn to Christie, and if anyone ever wants advice on how to wean their 28 month old while 8 eights pregnant, they know they can talk to me! :o) Anyway, I wanted you to know that we really just want to support you and I am sorry that you seem to be upset by the advice that was given.
Oh, and about Hillary, I am sure than Christie knew that that wasn't what your post was all about, but who can resist a jab at Hillary? :o) I almost went off about her and her healthcare system myself because it is something I have been thinking and talking about with Chad a lot lately. Anyway, I hope I hope you are having a good day. Sorry this is so long. Oops, I am posting as Chad.

I think Katie pretty much summed it up. (I was amazed by Chad until I read the part about weaning while pregnant, lol.) Sorry, you know I've always been bossy ;)
I'm glad that Katie commented before I got a chance, because she said it perfectly and it was exactly what I was going to say. I've never admitted this to anyone, but when Blaise was born I was talking to Christie about my experience with mastitis and how much milk I had and she mentioned that I probably had "overactive letdown" and for some reason I was offended a few days because I felt like I should know more than her because it was my second kid or something. But once I got over that silliness I started looking stuff up about overactive letdown, and it helped me SO much with nursing and a lot of the problems I was having started getting better. I realized then that even if I try to read everything I can there is most likely going to be someone out there that knows more about a certain subject than I do or has read something I hadn't even heard of. That's why sisters and sister-in-laws are great! But like Katie said, if you don't want advice that is totally fine, I think we all just thought you wanted some. Love you and I'm glad things are getting better!
I hope you don't stop with the blog. I love it and I love you and Lily (and Seth)!
