I hope everything goes well, for both of them.
Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Big ~ma for your cousin's wife, Suzi.
BBC production of A Little Princess that's famous for being both true to the book (IIRC, it's Nilly's favorite version) and almost completely unavailable.
There is such a thing? I love that book, and have been so disappointed in the adaptations, although at least the Cuaron version has the depressive mood of the book.
Lots of ~ma, Suzi
Suzi, much ~ma.
Kat, I'm sure Lily would LOVE to see Actual! Factual! Three-D! Noah and Grace. She's a big Flickr fan of theirs.
Kathy, it's this one... I've never seen it, but a couple of years ago we were having a literary adaptations discussion, and Nilly raved about this version (I think maybe she had it on video and played it until the tape wore out) -- the handful of user reviews posted on IMDB are full of the same love (though, of course, less eloquent than Nilly's). Apparently it takes a crazy, risky, revolutionary chance and follows the plot of the book. And Sara has dark hair and is not cherubic and dimpled.
And, holy crap! Since the last time I checked a little over a year ago, it's finally come out on DVD!
Scrappy, the easiest treatment for infant reflux is to keep the baby as upright as possible for feedings, and for about half an hour afterwards. Also if possible try to feed smaller amounts more often (tricky if the baby is breastfed since you can never tell *exactly* how much they're getting.)
Their ped should also be able to recommend an antacid and give them info on dosing.
scrappy, the baby also needs to be propped up when sleeping, at least at a 30% incline.
Another thing that can help is sucking on a pacifier which increases saliva and reduces acid.
Finally refluxy babies respond poorly to tight clothing, so once you are past the swaddle stage, then loose clothes should be the key.
Second round of stripping done. I'm gonna go swim now.
I'm really not sure how I'm going to get all I planned done this weekend. I wanted to do some planting, so was going out later for plants. But I still have to clean (the irony of cleaning when I'm making a huge mess isn't lost on me) and regular shop and...uhng. Planting may wait.
More photos going up.
We are supposed to be driving down to San Diego in a few hours. Have I tidied or packed? No, no I have not.
