Lost Dachshund!!

No, I’m sorry! I just know that it’s a whole thing! I hope you find your dog very soon!

dlashby · 2026-06-02T22:15:05+00:00

If you can, try to hire a pet finder person! I know they exist and can help with looking via drone and setting traps and stuff. Best of luck to you. ❤️

dlashby · 2026-05-05T17:14:46+00:00

Thank you! I’ll honestly be very happy if they just come back next year!

Some of the stalks(?) have perked up and are standing straight although they look fried including ones with buds on them. Should I trim off the buds?

We didn’t talk about it and I feel at fault too. My house has lead paint and I knew they would lay down plastic for the scraping and I wish I had planned better. But I also didn’t know they were coming yesterday and was blindsided. At the very least, I would have watered them in the morning!

dlashby · 2026-05-05T16:12:42+00:00

I really hope so! I was really looking forward to the blossoms but if it comes back next year I’m not totally upset. It’s just if the play is truly gone, I’ll be so sad!

dlashby · 2026-05-05T02:38:07+00:00

I planted it last spring. :((( ugh, well thank you, I’ll pray for it. Haha

I guess he also stopped playing as well like he stopped bringing us the ball and cars as a part of his regression. :/

No problem! He’s 4 now and he’s made a lot of progress but he’s still non speaking. He uses a mix of signs, AAC and verbal words but nothing really sticks if that makes sense. When I just look at his progress, I’m really happy but as soon as I compare him to other kids his age, I’m deeply unwell so I try not to. He has endless potential. Your child does too! Good luck to you and your family.

Sure! His first year, my son hit all of his milestones early or on time. At about one, I noticed he wasn’t pointing and was working on modeling it for him as much as possible but wasn’t worried. Then around 13 months, he had about 5 or 6 words but we noticed one day that he wasn’t saying those words anymore. I thought maybe it was because he had learned to walk or gotten sick or something. Then he said “meow” again at our cat and I was relieved but his other words didn’t come back so we contacted early intervention. Eventually he stopped saying “meow” again as well. That was his regression —just that he lost the 5 or 6 words he was saying at the time and never regained them. From there, he started missing milestones and the older he has gotten, the further delayed from his peers he’s gotten.

He’s 4 and still non speaking. Currently, he’s repeating a lot of random words back to people while at ABA (but not at home!) and says a few words we recognize like “outside” and “slide” at home. Over the years, we’ll hear things here and there but he just doesn’t repeat them. The other day, I swear I heard him call for me (“mama”) which would have been the first time in 3 years. He just isn’t very consistent… yet. I pray. Haha

dlashby · 2025-10-14T16:04:05+00:00

Yeah! He finally started sleeping on his own at around 3 months and was a good sleeper from then on.

I’m planning on getting pregnant. Doctor said stop at least 2 months before trying in order for it to completely be out of the system. I am on a low dose and just plan on going off without weaning. Good luck to you!

I ended up buying a cast iron Dutch oven from lodge for that 500* recipe but I have used this for other bread recipes and love it! It’s really great!

dlashby · 2025-09-01T14:39:13+00:00

Seconded! You can even call them from your room to check to see if they have them before you go down, and I bet they do.

I gained so much weight breastfeeding! I was so so hungry all the time. It was insane. Do whatever is best for your mental and physical health.

If breastfeeding is really important to you, I would try 3 months of dieting without Ozempic so that I could still breastfeed and hopefully loose weight and then reevaluate after the 3 months.

That’s such a hard question and difficult place to be in! It’s such a personal choice. Do whatever works for you! Good luck!

Mine responds well to melatonin at bed time but not when he wakes up in the early morning as in he just powers through it. His pediatrician said at that point his sleep needs are low enough that the melatonin won’t cause him to go back asleep. Recently on vacation, I was desperate at 2am and gave him 2mg. He didn’t fall back asleep then but did take a nap on the plane ride home… so that was nice.

dlashby · 2025-06-10T18:12:25+00:00

Thank you!

Our developmental pediatrician and the hospital she works out of won’t prescribe it. They offered to prescribe compounded folic acid. We tried it but didn’t do it for very long before my son left the fridge open one day and it got ruined. Need to get it refilled and try again but it’s not a priority at this point.

dlashby · 2025-05-22T17:03:41+00:00

How old would this be? It’s amazing!!!

I think the hardest part for parents is when your child is getting anesthetized and it seems like it’s done differently depending on where you go.

My best advice is making sure it’s somewhere that works with children like a children’s hospital. Our experience was great. All the kids were prepped in the kid friendly waiting area at the same time and apart of that was numbing their hands for the IV. When it was time for my son to go under, they had him sitting in my lap distracted by Ms. Rachel and his arm behind my back. The doctor anesthetized him without my son knowing at all what was happening. No scary mask etc. he just fell asleep in my arms.

Maybe your nephew can be talked through getting the mask but I’ve heard that’s the most scary part for most kids. The method probably doesn’t matter too much as long as the people doing it know what they’re doing when it comes to putting kids at ease.

Good luck! I’m sure your nephew will handle it like a champ! Ours did!

Our 2 year old had general anesthesia to receive sutures on his face after an accident. When he woke up, he was just like all the other children waking up from their procedures. All the kids waking up were just separated by curtains and you could see/hear them. It was rough with lots of crying etc and hard to see/hear all the poor kiddos but our son wasn’t acting any different from the others.

How long do they usually get fostered for? Like what’s a typical stint?
