some things in my yard bloomed beautifully but dozens of older bulbs didn't

6:57 am

Anniebrook

hi Une, Has Lucy been accepted by Tug and I can't think of the other dog's name

6:57 am

6:57 am

Uneaixoise

EvaNadine

hello babblers!

9:59 am

therealblah

hi eva!

10:00 am

EvaNadine

how goes it, TRB?

10:00 am

therealblah

so far so good eva, thanks, and you?

10:01 am

EvaNadine

doing well.
just had the little man checked out + we both received a clean bill of health. :)

10:02 am

Scrabbler

Hi Eva and Blah.

10:02 am

EvaNadine

hola scrabs!

10:02 am

Scrabbler

You had a baby boy?

10:02 am

EvaNadine

i will -- in september. :)

10:03 am

Scrabbler

I understand your statement now. Excellent. I am so happy for you! I am a Sept baby. Sept 8.

10:04 am

EvaNadine

my hubby is also a september boy -- 16th.
our little one is due the 26th. so i guess its possible he may end up being an october baby, if hes as stubborn as his daddy. ;)

10:04 am

Scrabbler

Please, please take 6000 IU/day of vitamin D to help his brain. Read vitamindcouncil.org. There is strong evidence that vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy is one of the causes of autism.

10:05 am

EvaNadine

im taking my prenatals -- should i be taking extra D on top of that?

10:05 am

Scrabbler

And after he is born give him 1000 IU/day of vitamin D.

10:05 am

therealblah

hi scrabbler!

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes. Your prenatals have very little vit D.

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Hi blah.

10:05 am

therealblah

that's all good eva!

10:06 am

Scrabbler

Please read that website, Eva. (You know that I am a pediatrician, right?)

10:06 am

EvaNadine

good to know!
ive been drinking lots of milk (cravings in general, but it also helps my throat when my allergies are kicking up, as they are now)
but im all in for taking whatever vitamins help!

10:06 am

EvaNadine

i definitely will. :)

10:07 am

Scrabbler

I want the very best for you and your son so I am telling you what I tell my family, friends, and mothers of patients.

10:09 am

EvaNadine

theres so much to learn with your first -- i welcome any + all advice. i take in what makes sense + disregard what doesnt work for me.
but doctors advice weighs a little heavier. ;)

10:10 am

Scrabbler

Please review that website for info on vit D in pregnancy.

10:11 am

EvaNadine

ive got it open right now. :

10:11 am

EvaNadine

:)

10:16 am

Scrabbler

Most docs do not understand or believe how important vitamin D is for our health. Vitamin D isn't really a true vitamin, it is actually a hormone that our body produces.

10:17 am

EvaNadine

were supposed to get good doses of sunshine to create it naturally, yes?

10:19 am

helensgirlkid

Then we invented sunscreen!

10:19 am

Scrabbler

Yes, but in the 1980's we were told to avoid UV rays and to use sunscreen, thus vitamin D deficiency became widespread. So vit D experts propose, and have evidence, that vit D defiency causes many disorders: MS, autism, cancer, etc.

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Yes, HGK, and although sunscreen prevents skin cancer we benefit from 20-30 min of UV rays daily.

10:21 am

EvaNadine

so im reading!
and if i recall from past articles ive read, theres just not enough in our milk to get it solely from that, correct?

10:22 am

rururocks

my nephews are vitamin d deficient and have to take 5000 IU daily

10:22 am

rururocks

I try to get it in my diet and sunshine.

10:24 am

Scrabbler

Correct, Eva. The best way to get sufficient vit D is from the sun.

10:25 am

rururocks

I get a lot of vitamin d from my sunny personality :D

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

the recommended amounts are all over the place.

10:27 am

EvaNadine

easier said than done with long workdays + miserable commutes. and super-fair skin that burns when i think of sunshine!
sounds like vitamins/supplements are the way to go!

10:28 am

72 Temple Owl

it does not seem like much sun exposure is needed to get a good dose.

10:30 am

Scrabbler

No, we don't need much sun exposure at all.

10:31 am

EvaNadine

i leave for work at 6:30 in the morning, not to arrive back home til about 6 in the evening, most nights. after that, it's making dinner, doing shores, running errands. not much time for sunshine!

luckily, the days are longer and the weather is getting warmer (though this week doesnt seem like it!) all the more reason to get the pup (and myself!) some exercise. a quick walk oughtta do the trick!

10:33 am

Scrabbler

That is a LONG day, Eva. I could not do that.

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

ah,but the amount of skin seems to make a difference as does skin type. someone very fair does not need as much sun as someone who is darker

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

can you sit outside at lunchtime>

10:34 am

EvaNadine

if it's quiet, i can. but most days, thats our busiest time!
with the warmer weather, i try to get outside as often as i can during lunchtime...its a neverending battle!

10:34 am

EvaNadine

LMAO -- did the DOCTOR just tell me that she couldnt handle MY long day??
;)

10:34 am

Scrabbler

22 left and I must get ready for work. 1/2 day today because I work Fri afternoon with the on-call weekend for me.

10:36 am

Scrabbler

Eva, I learned over 20 years ago that I could not work a doc's full-time schedule, so I work a 5/9 schedule, with fulltime being 9 sessions weekly.

10:37 am

EvaNadine

ive definitely been thinking more + more lately that i need to find a job closer to home. my commute each way is 1-1.5 hours. so thats 2-3 hours a day sitting in a car that could be spent on SO MANY better things!

10:37 am

Scrabbler

But then we have one oncall weekly, and on on call weekend (63 hour marathon) every 5 weeks, and I spend 2 hrs on charting 4 days weekly. So it all adds up even working "part-time."

10:38 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Eva, because you are going to have a little boy that you are going to love more than you can imagine and you will not want to leave with another caretaker.

10:38 am

72 Temple Owl

do you do charts on a tablet as you see patients?

10:39 am

Scrabbler

Yes, we have a laptop but there is no time to finish notes after each patient so I finish charts every evening for 2 hours.

10:40 am

Scrabbler

And during lunch hour.

10:41 am

72 Temple Owl

wow, that is a lot of admin time.

10:41 am

EvaNadine

luckily, hubby + i each get some telework in our week (im at home today!) and im hoping the grandmas can help out as well.
its true -- i wont want to leave him with ANYONE, but at least i will feel safe and happy leaving him in the hands of folks who already love him so very much!

10:41 am

Scrabbler

Doing charts on the computer is VERY time-consuming.

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

the pa does vitals and charts them then the dr appears to do the whole note thing during the visit

10:42 am

Scrabbler

Very good, Eva! Avoid day care if possible--germ factories and constant illnesses.

10:43 am

Scrabbler

Owl, I am very OC with my notes--detailed. So I take my time without time-constraints during lunch hour or at home. I would rather do that and not have patients wait for me to finish notes.

10:44 am

EvaNadine

im really hoping we can work it that way. all those conversations still to be had, though!

10:44 am

Scrabbler

Bribe and beg, Eva!

10:44 am

Scrabbler

Alright, I must get ready. Staff meeting at 1230 then work 130-5.

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

you are so good to your patients. have a good day

10:45 am

EvaNadine

HAGD, Dr Scrabs!

10:46 am

72 Temple Owl
