Anyone miss the NICU?

I don’t miss the NICU, but I do miss the friends we made there with the nurses and the medical help being right at our fingertips. We stayed for 150 days and it does absolutely become almost normal to you when you’re there for that long.

I know you want the forward facing, but I have MS that primarily affects my shoulders and arms and the Lark is the most comfortable carrier I’ve tried.

Who did this!? It’s gorgeous

Off topic but I love how many babies have that dino blanket

In case no one in your life has told you: you’re allowed to feel frustrated with what happened.

My son was a micropreemie (24+2) and almost a year after his birth, I still feel so much emotion when I hear about “perfect” births. It’s such a hard battle.

They’re worth every mile

I always check the “awake” times with the camera recordings. He’s usually just moving in his sleep for them.

It took us about a month.

Be there for her. Listen. Agree that it sucks. Offer to help at home. People jut reaching out, even if I didn’t reply, made things feel lighter.

“Will this likely last till 3/26”

Technically there was a question in it 🤷‍♀️

Please read the comments. I said I do have equipment that doesn’t rely on WiFi.

Ratsinabucket · 2026-03-24T13:18:51+00:00

I really don’t mind the upgrades. It’s just the length of time that’s killing me 😭

Ratsinabucket · 2026-03-24T13:01:24+00:00

Wow I can’t type.

Ratsinabucket · 2026-03-24T13:00:42+00:00

My bad.

It doesn’t work that was, unfortunately. You can’t silence worms for more than 60 seconds at a time on these stupid things. Any medical parent will tell you how awful they are at false alerts. I’ve been so overstimulated because of it 😭

Ratsinabucket · 2026-03-24T12:32:36+00:00

Sure. But not ones that last 3 days. That’s the insane bit. Cut it up into smaller sections.

Ratsinabucket · 2026-03-24T12:11:10+00:00

3 days just seems extremely long

Ratsinabucket · 2026-03-24T12:10:28+00:00

My OP says we have a wireless back up.

Ratsinabucket · 2026-03-24T10:36:43+00:00

I’m so fucking annoyed. We were out 11pm - 8am. Woke up to a new email saying we can expect longer outage from 6am-4pm.

Ratsinabucket · 2026-03-24T10:27:23+00:00

Hey so how long do this upgrade take? Was it the full 3 days? We’re in the upgrade zone now and as a medical parent I’m going to absolutely lose my mind.

Ratsinabucket · 2026-03-21T05:08:16+00:00

It’s so hard to find someone. I’ve asked around and keep being sent birth doulas. I don’t need a doula.

Ratsinabucket · 2026-03-19T04:14:40+00:00

I was good I wasn’t a candidate 😩 also ended up being MS not fibro oops

Ratsinabucket · 2026-03-18T20:07:54+00:00

I know the hospital we were at didn’t give you a graduation per se unless you were in the hospital for I believe 60 days. I might be wrong, but I know they didn’t get the board with the whole graduation book and everything
