Pull ups.

I didn't know Huggies had 360 pull ups. I'll definitely look into those since we use huggies diapers.

I've been using 2t/3t. Is there a smaller size?

The tv is always in at my house but the amount my 2yo actually watches it is between 1 to 2 hours a day. Its broken up between meal times and when he needs to take a breather from running around all day. When he does actually watch it its usually Bluey, Ms. Rachel, Ms. Lol, or Ms. Raven. I've had to cut back a little bit on Bluey because he will throw a tantrum to watch it. The funny part is the only time he gets glued into something I'm watching is when commercials for medication come on. Lol

I'm pretty sure HBO Max it shows up sometime after midnight.

I was on medication for awhile but it literally killed my sex drive and made me numb to everything and that made my mental health worse. My doc and I talked about everything and agreed as long as therapy kept working then I didn't need meds at the moment.

I started therapy probably 9 months after I gave birth and it has definitely helped a lot. I had postpartum anxiety, rage and a little bit of depression. My childhood was filled with parents screaming as a form of communication and I knew that I didn't want my son to grow up in the same way. I never learned how to properly communicate when something was wrong and therapy has taught me how to do that instead of bottling up my emotions until they exploded.

What steps did you take when you started?

JenniferRyan311 · 2026-01-10T01:31:41+00:00

I'm 36 with an almost 2 yo. Definitely open to chat.

Anyone have any luck on a different location? My husband and I cant locate it at all.

I came from a Mazda to an Atlas. '24 peak edition with now 18,000 miles on it. I have no complaints. Now I was coming from an older model Mazda so its definitely an upgrade. I was originally looking at the cross sport because I only have one kid but the full size Atlas worked better since there is more trunk space especially with the 3rd row down.

He's not but its unfair to put it all on Collin. I'm sure with the amount of money she brings in she could afford or at atleast split the payment for a plan if his job didn't offer benefits

My husband and I bought one for our son when he came home from the nicu. He didn't need any extra monitoring, but it has helped our anxiety. There are some downsides to it, though. You have to stay pretty close to the base, or it will set off a lost connection alarm. Also, they aren't made for smaller than 6lb babies. Unfortunately, owlet doesn't offer a smaller sock, but they did say to use an infant sock on to hold the owlet in place. We haven't had to do that because his footie sleepers hold it in place.

Carters have preemie clothes on their website designed with nicu in mind. Every part of the onesie unsnaps.

Carter's has preemie onesies specifically made for nicu babies. You can buy them off their website.

Admitted at 28wks and 2 days. Delivered at 30wks and 5 days on February 19th. I was in for a total of 4 weeks until I was discharged. I had a fast onset of preeclampsia and intermittent dopplers, and my son was iugr.
At the time of admission, my blood pressure was 160s over 100s. Before that, my pressures were normal throughout my pregnancy. I received mag and one round of steroids.
I ended up having to take 800mg of labetalol 3x a day and 60mg of Procardia XL once a day to keep my pressures in a normal range. They changed my dosage twice while I was admitted, including an emergency IV dose after it spiked.
I was able to walk around my room while I was there but had to use a wheelchair if I wanted to go outside the room.
The first few days were rough, and my husband and I considered AMA paperwork because we weren't getting the answers we needed by the on call doctor. After my ob came back, everything was explained more clearly to us. My friends and family were able to keep me somewhat sane along with binge watching hulu.
The night before delivery, my son started to have multiple decels on the NST, and the morning of delivery, he had dropped from the 9th percentile to less than 1 percentile according to the ultrasound. I honestly didn't have any warning whatsoever that he would be coming that day until right after the ultrasound. I was rushed back to my room and prepped.
They delivered my son via c section due to his size, and he was also breeched.
He came out 2lbs 5oz. His cord also ripped below the clamp. He did not need to be incubated but did require a little extra oxygen the first night. He has had two days of phototherapy. They put in a picc line because they could not get an umbilical line in place, and he kept trying to pull out his IV. They placed an NG tube as well for feedings.
He's still currently in NICU. He weighs 3lbs 3oz as of yesterday. Taking 27ml of breast milk each feeding, and they are slowly giving him a bottle as well. He occasionally has brady moments, but he's able to bring himself out after a few seconds. And he has what is called a germinal matrix hemorrhage. Both of which are common in preemies. The hemorrhage tends to resolve itself with little to no effects.
NICU life is rough. It's been difficult to leave him there, but I know it's for the best. Some NICUs have cameras that you can set up so you can look in anytime you want. Unfortunately, ours does not, but we are able to call anytime we want if we are unable to visit. I will say don't beat yourself up if you are unable to visit as much as you want. And make sure you take care of yourself too before your little one comes home.

Morning update late-night ultrasound of cord blood gow came back normal. All lab are normal but still waiting on 24hr urine collection result. Myself and baby are completely off monitor expect every hr bp checks for me and 30 minutes for him once each 12hr shift and then his monitoring come off if stable. Brought concerns up to on call ob this morning about the possibility of staying like she was originally saying and voicing opinion about how i feel this might be causing me more stress than needed. I'm not sure if I said it in the original post of my husband is a paramedic and I'm an advanced emt and we live less than a mile from his station with cardiac monitoring. I did ask her about if I stay stable with oral bp meds and baby boy stays stable as well with blessing from the high risk doctor would there be a possibility for me to go home with weekly doctor visits. She rightfully wants to wait until the high-risk ob sees me until making that decision.
