WTH I think I have mastitis. How on earth can I have a breast infection? We weaned in Feb...and I am still leaking a little bit (few drops here and there). But my boob is hot and red and hurts like...

I'm a CPC (certified professional coder) and worked in medical billing over 10 years before I took the test through the AAPC. It is HARD and I am smart and experienced. Granted I was 7 month pregnant...

We plan a date night after DD goes to bed on a Saturday night. We order food or get take out, watch movies or DVR'ed TV shows, fool around, and generally have a nice time. :silly:

Sometimes it is...

When I lived in WI (10 years ago, Milwaukee area) our docs would bill $100 for a circ at time of birth. Medicaid paid our docs somewhere around 30% of actual cost for services in general. I worked at...

Circumcision is cheap actually. It is a very low cost procedure. I've coded and billed them out in 3 different states.

Medicaid pays pennies on the dollar too, so even if a doctor charged $1000...

Another way to look at this is that the AAP is recommending insurance pay for "routine" circumcision because they DO see it as medically necessary. I work in medical coding and billing, and insurance...

I'll say that DD is acting naughty (or acting nice) but I never call her naughty. We only use positive works to describe her and use positive and negative words to describe behavior. We are careful...

We've noticed a change in behavior when DD eats frankenfoods. We asked the pedi and she strongly recommended going preservative free.

Where do I start? I try to give her some whole foods (usually...

Oh I am so sorry you (and she) are going through this. Reading it made me really angry too. In my darker days I have attempted suicide but it was not well planned and was definitely a "cry for help"...

My DD did this just before turning 2 - even woke up at night to ask for food. It turns out it was a growth spurt but we even took her to the doctor because she was out eating both me and my...

Definately push for doc to do something. The new recommendations are something like .3-3 for a range first off... and second off he ought to be doing a thyroid panel for you. You need to have your...

:hooray:

:laugh: DD loves my boobs. LOVES them. Still has to hold one to go to sleep. Laughs, grabs at, and wants to play with them when she sees me changing clothes. Kisses them. We weaned in February with a...

I had that sensation when my milk finally dried up at 30 months.

Sadie does this all the time. I just give her the fruit/yogurt she is asking for because if her sugar gets too low she turns into a crying mess. I was like that as a kid and asked because I was...

Awesome news!

Thank you. We have another church "scheduled" for 2 weeks from now (will be out of town for Memorial Day) and I am hopeful.

The pastor was trying to make the point that we needed to follow "love...

I was so annoyed with his hammering on about the vote! I was like "Just shut up already and talk about theology....oh wait, you said that was unimportant!" :lol:

This was PCUSA, which is more...

Well we ruled one church we had been visiting out. :laugh:

The pastor seemed weird, smug almost. DH and I both commented on it the first time we went there. It was a Presbyterian church so more...

That is helpful, we wil try some of that too. Thanks!

No, they move up based on age and ability. She is pretty advanced in speech and motor skills and needs to move up. She's getting bored with the younger kids in her class. It's a good idea though to...

This was my initial thought, thank you!

OK I apologize in advance if this is long.

DD is going to be 3 in 2 months and she has minimal interest in the toilet. She has all the "readiness" signs but she basically refuses to use the potty....

Everything I do has DH input so this includes BF. We made the decision together to wear at 2 but DD and I were not done until 2.5. DH was not thrilled but it is what we worked out as a family.

My thyroid was swollen during pregnancy and it is pretty common, and generally goes away within a year of birth. Unfortunately mine did not and caused breathing problems so I had it removed when DD...
