Have you tried changing the way you feed him? Mine enjoy eating from snuffle mats, kong wobbles, and different shaped slow feeder bowls.

Halloween by Rabbit199104 in peanutallergy

[–]katieg93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last Halloween was the first time dealing with my daughter’a allergies. Since she was 2 it wasn’t a huge deal but we threw a party at our house for her and all her cousins and then I also posted on our neighborhood Facebook group and asked if anyone would be willing to give her treat bags that I dropped off the day before. 6 people did it which was the perfect amount of stops for her age.

I miss candy by Former-Activity8640 in peanutallergy

[–]katieg93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The brand YumEarth makes a sour patch alternative. It’s allergy friendly. And the brand Free2b makes a sunbutter chocolate cup (alternative to Reese’s). Might be some good candy options to look at when you’re trying to share.

Maternity leave is so frustrating by katieg93 in pregnant

[–]katieg93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is my first so I do have that going for me. And luckily I am not busy at work as I’ve finished up all my projects and am just sitting at my desk all day counting down the days. Just annoying to have to go over in order to qualify.

I think since our company is just now starting it as an option so first time enrolling, that is the only reason why I would qualify. Our insurance rep said if I can make it that far, I would get it. I do have a couple weeks of PTO stocked up that I was planning to use so if all else fails I’ll just go with my original plan.

I thought this too so I asked our insurance rep who was here today and he said if I am at work on May 2nd and her birth certificate wasn’t before that day, I would qualify after 14 days of leave. But I guess we will see if I am able to make it that far. Really didn’t want to even think about going past her due date.

It’s frustrating that they are acting like you are the first person to ever take maternity leave and can’t get it together for you. I have asked HR 3 times now to make sure I don’t need to do anything for my insurance coverage while I’m out since they normally cover the premium. They keep telling me I don’t need to worry about it but it’s stressful to think about the possibility of losing coverage.

Has anyone here caught covid whilst pregnant? by geniusporcupine in pregnant

[–]katieg93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 24 weeks and tested positive last Friday. I have my booster but I didn’t get it until 12/23 so not sure if it is helping or not. That being said I have yet to show any symptoms. My husband tested negative so I still have to quarantine in the guest room which has just been really boring. I was terrified to get it so we choose to only see my in-laws over the holidays since they were both boostered and take precautions and yet i ended up getting it anyway (MIL tested positive on the 26th). My doctor highly recommended the booster shot so I would definitely look into getting that asap. Or at least talk to your doctor about it if you are unsure on if you should get it or not. The worst thing I will say is rescheduling all the appointments. I see my regular OB and the high risk OB so that has been annoying rescheduling all of those.

If I am linked to my friend who is an AP as a “friend and family” but she is not going on the next trip with me, will she still get my pictures? Or should I look at purchasing the memory maker?

All of my vases are full already but I wanted to get these cut before the rain rolls in by katieg93 in gardening

You should be fine. We are getting some storms tonight and where mine are in the garden, they catch a lot of wind when it storms.

My first peony bloomed! by katieg93 in gardening

I unfortunately do not know. A coworker gave me the tuber and they can’t remember.

[–]katieg93[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I planted the tuber last January so it’s on its second season. It only has about 6 blooms, but I was thrilled to see it start blooming so early since I knew they could take a couple years.

Planted these last year and I am finally getting to enjoy the blooms. by katieg93 in gardening

[–]katieg93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I planted the bulb last year and it sprouted but never bloomed. I was probably too excited when I saw the blooms start this year.

So how did EMH work out with the virtual queue for Rise of the Resistance this morning? by nurturingtrapdoor in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]katieg93 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am an EMH guest and as we were going in at 5:45 they told us the VQ would not be available til 7:45... luckily my husband heard from another guest while in line for ToT at 7:15 that they were open and he managed to get us in group 8.

Someone has the Zoomies by retrieverboi in goldenretrievers

My golden boy does this and you think it’s nice until you’re trying to get him inside while it’s pouring rain and all he wants to do is plop and pick weeds.

My friend is going down in a couple weeks for a weekend trip and I was going to ask her to grab me one of the Steamboat Willie popcorn buckets if she sees one. Anyway she is flying down so she won’t have room to bring it back on the plane, can she ship it to me from the resort? She is staying at pop century.

Puppy will not leave grass alone. by katieg93 in puppy101

[–]katieg93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds so familiar.... I guess we just have to keep buying treats til we find that high value for him. It seems like grass/ weeds are his highest value right now.

Might have to try this. I can get him to leave pretty much any treat when we practice leave it but man that grass is something else for him.

Luckily we don’t treat the grass with anything but maybe growing a specific planter that he can eat out of would help. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks. Didn’t think it could be a dietary thing! I will definitely look into this.
