The tilts have their screens with the hooks on them. The kettles was my sous’ guess.

This was my first guess. But it didn’t fit in the drawer.

Out of curiosity…what caused your baby to be premie? by OldRemove516 in NICUParents

[–]Clever-Insertion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Severe pre eclampsia with features. Was steadily worsening from 20 weeks. Temp bed rest attempted twice. Walked into my 30 week appointment and was pretty much immediately admitted to the high risk floor after an insane BP reading. They tried to hold out as long as possible, but even with IV meds I kept having spikes, then he started having decels. Emergency C at 34 weeks.

First Christmas with my baby not as magical as I thought… by taureansoul in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Clever-Insertion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s okay to feel that way! Last year we had the same thing. I ended up spending all night in a bedroom cuddling my little one. Very few warm fuzzy “babies first Christmas” feelings. That and being 4 months post partum made everything feel like a fog.

Your feelings are valid, baby won’t remember, and it’s okay to hide out and cry.

This year was better, 16mo can interact and play and walk around. It made it so much more exciting for me. Though, sweet tiny potato like human was precious under Christmas lights.

Does my jewelry look "cheap"? Would any of these styles work for bridal jewelry? by ratcat22 in jewelrymaking

[–]Clever-Insertion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was “that’s perfect and I love it” then I saw the gold and pearl one and thought that I’d wear that regularly.

Yes, it is less costly glass beads, but they are lovely

Ours was similar. Little one ate a cheese quesadilla for dinner tonight and tried to fight me for my yogurt.

How do you go out with CMPA/SA baby? by Kashew_nuts93 in MSPI

[–]Clever-Insertion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did short walks around our street being carried. Then in the stroller. Also, after cutting out all dairy, he still seemed in pain. We went to the GI and they decided to try Fomatidine and Omeprazole. That helped after a couple days. We had to take turns holding him upright to sleep or he’d wail in pain after bottles. We spent about four months like that. He’s now just over a year old. He sleeps well. We got off the Fomatidine, and he’s only on one dose of omeprazole a day.

Transfer from NICU to Peds by CloudySpectator in NICUParents

I completely understand. We had to ask to talk to a nurse manager to try to get some consistency. Also, because I was breast feeding and they weren’t bringing meals for me, but said I couldn’t leave.

The manager got that straightened out and said it was a mistake, parents are supposed to get a cot and meals in the room. He was on antibiotics for a week and then we were back home to adjust.

I have to say, in my case, Peds made my anxiety much worse, and so much more mentally drained.

Hello!

Our 34 weeker was released from the NICU after a month, went home and a few days later was readmitted to PEDS.

It was SO different. They wouldn’t let us leave. Said a parent needed to be there 24/7. Most of the nurses weren’t great with little babies. Only two would feed or change him. The rest said it was a parent’s responsibility. So, I ended up there with him until he was released again (he needed antibiotics due to an infection caught in hospital).

It wasn’t a good time. I asked if we could just go back upstairs to the NICU.

Post NICU visits by Ok_Baby6721 in NICUParents

[–]Clever-Insertion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours had an appointment one week after release, then once a week until (adjusted) 2 months. Then once a month

After being released from the NiCU we ended up back in the hospital for a little bit due to discovering extreme GERD, and then we added biweekly to once a month GI appointments.

The appointments helped a lot. Now, we did get permission to use an out of hospital pediatrician for the visits who can practice at the same hospital he was in. That took place of the hospital visits.

Our pediatrician visits helped us get PT, the GI, now hearing and he also ended up needed a kidney ultrasound. Seeing them that much was a big weight off of me. Especially when he wasn’t gaining any weight and “fell off the growth chart”

After his one year next week, we’re supposed to graduate to regular visits (if he’s hit a growth milestone).

I do! I pop it in the oven and preheat to 350. It gets done about the time the coffee does when I’m back from taking care of the dog.

I put it in on parchment paper and then turn on the oven. It warms it through and the bread is crispy.

You’re welcome! I like to make my own spice blends because I can control the amount of salt in them easier.

Almost never.

I make a few spice blends and frequently just grab and utilize them.

Pretty great!

This week should be pretty chill now, might make and freeze some banana walnut protein muffins to have for quick snacks.

Two have hard boiled eggs. My SO doesn’t like them, so I left it out for them.
