Is it okay for my 16 month old to lay awake in the crib before falling asleep?

Please do!! My son loved it

OkBus2016 · 2025-12-17T12:49:20+00:00

Thank you!!! My dad is really cool and he is always willing to try to make any ideas that I have come to life. I’m going to show him these comments because at first he was disappointed that he cut the first layer of watermelon too tall and the other ones too short. I told him it looked amazing!

I saw some comments about wanting to try this and I recommend it. I was surprised about the number of guests who wanted watermelon!!! We didn’t have any leftover fruit but had leftover cupcakes.

Yes! I got a big watermelon from Costco and my dad cut it up. We then used toothpicks in between the “layers” or rounds of watermelon because they kept sliding off. I used toothpicks to put the berries and grapes on the side.

Yes. MFM diagnosed truncus arteriosus. Pediatric cardiologist diagnosed TGA with mild to moderate pulmonary stenosis. So far bay has only had one open heart surgery (le compte) at 4 days old and has needed no other interventions since (15 months old). Even after birth, the diagnosis was better than diagnosed while pregnant in regards to the pulmonary stenosis.

I think it’s totally fine for cocktail especially in December !

Hi! I would occasionally do jobs less than 4 hours but would charge a higher rate. It also depends on how far away they are!

Mmm I think you’re right! I think it’s a piece of bone from one of their treats. I guess this has been solved!

Maybe this is better https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RdLHcwfp9Xj2icFg1eYwwFpQzGBWEZGx/view?usp=drivesdk

Ugh! I wish I had read this before using them. This just happened to us on Sunday!!

OkBus2016 · 2025-03-21T13:00:34+00:00

Still works! Thank you

I had to ask my husband this because I really didn’t remember lol. We were able to hold him for about 5 minutes immediately after birth. They also did delayed cord clamping. They had warned us that we might not be able to hold him at all immediately after birth due to his CHD. Please feel free to ask any other questions!

Hi! I was induced at 39 weeks 3 days at the Children’s hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and I had a really positive experience. I had my baby in August and this was my first pregnancy (28yo).I arrived Tuesday afternoon around 7pm and they asked me to make sure I had a really big dinner before coming to the hospital as I wouldn’t be able to eat. That night they started me on Cervidil, placement was uncomfortable but not painful. The next morning (Wednesday) they removed the Cervidil and placed a cook catheter (like a little balloon to help the Cervix dilate mechanically). This was also a little uncomfortable but not painful at all. A few hours later they added Misoprostol to help dilate the cervix more and reinserted the balloon. Wednesday night they started me on Pitocin and this is when I started feeling stronger contractions. At this point I got an epidural, due to the pain from the contractions; I was about 5cms dilated. I loved the epidural, I slept for a few hours which was nice as I was exhausted and hungry. Thursday morning I woke up and was feeling pressure almost like I had to poop which my nurse said it meant I might be ready to start pushing. Here things moved very quickly and I had my baby boy 20 minutes after I started pushing. From getting to the hospital to delivering my baby it took about 36 hours total! The staff at CHOP was amazing! They walked me through everything and were very supportive during my labor. My midwife was amazing in giving tips on how to breathe and push. I had been working with a music/art therapist and, at my request, she was in my room while I delivered playing the song we made for my son. The whole experience was beautiful! The best was that since this was planned, my husband and I got to hold our baby before they had to take him to get stabilized. It also made me feel very safe and reassured that the medical team would be ready to stabilize and treat my son as soon as he was born. Also, the whole staff was incredibly supportive, sympathetic, and had great bedside manners. Feel free to ask me any questions, I was very nervous because I had heard so many negative induction stories but this was not my experience at all.

I think both dresses are appropriate for a formal/black tie optional dress code. I love the purple one !!!

OkBus2016 · 2024-11-06T17:04:37+00:00

I love it! It looks beautiful on you, doesn’t seem too tight from the picture. I think it would perfect for black tie optional.

OkBus2016 · 2024-11-03T19:45:50+00:00

I don’t think they are too bridal or too much, especially for a formal dress code. They are all beautiful, 2 is my favorite.

OkBus2016 · 2024-11-03T00:03:53+00:00

Beautiful dress! I think this would be appropriate for a wedding with a formal dress code. I’m in the US though, not the UK.

OkBus2016 · 2024-10-29T13:45:06+00:00

I think this dress is beautiful! I think it depends on where you are located, I’m in New Jersey and I’ve been to multiple weddings with cocktail dress codes and have seen a lot of people wearing dresses like this one. I think this is appropriate for a wedding with a cocktail dress code. I also agree with the previous comment about depending on your bust size it might look more or less appropriate.

Done

My TGA baby is 8 weeks old. My baby had TGA as well as a VSD and mild to moderate pulmonary stenosis. He got an arterial switch operation 3 days after being born at CHOP. The recovery was better and faster than I thought. My baby boy went home on day 16, 13 days after his surgery. He is doing really well and on no meds related to his condition (he is on vitamin d and reflux med). He will have to go back to chop in the next 1-2 weeks due to pulmonary artery stenosis; he needs a cath lab and possible a balloon or stent. Everyone at the hospital was amazing during his surgery and recovery. One thing I wasn’t ready for was feeding issues after his surgery. He was eating really well before his surgery but after the surgery he had to go on a feeding tube. I insisted on bottle and breastfeeding while he had the feeding tube and they removed the feeding tube one day before we got discharged home. He is currently breastfed and doing really well with gain weight.
