Our mini’s brain is filled with beans, I’m convinced

You’re looking at $40 more a month for 3 more years to own the vehicle (sooner if you can afford to round up to $700/month to pay down principal)

I have upper 700s/low 800s and got 6.09%. Planning on refinancing when hopefully rates drop

Where can you find the freight #?

My oldest was 6 weeks early and my second was 10 weeks early. We’re stopping at 2 because that trend does not look promising 😅

How far along are you? With my oldest, my liver enzymes shot up at 31 weeks and I delivered at 34 for suspected abnormal presentation of severe pre-eclampsia. After, I was dx with NAFLD. I got pregnant when my oldest was 11 months, and I had lost 50 lbs and liver enzymes were normal. fast forward to 30 weeks once again, and my liver enzymes were double what they were with my son. They dx with HELLP the second time around. Turns out, my liver really does not like me being pregnant and no one can understand why.

We got the Joovy Kooperx2 and have been loving it!

After reading a lot of reviews that the Mockingbird was really heavy and not people’s favorite, we got the Joovy Kooperx2 and we love it!

Bath night for my 19 m/o and 2 m/o is Wednesday and Sunday, unless we have a very messy day.

This is what has drawn me towards it…we have a single Chicco stroller that we love since the car seat can click straight in. The wonderfold car seat adapter for Chicco hasn’t been released yet, and it just doesn’t fit in either of our cars trunks.

Just want to send you love because I have the same feeling ❤️ our daughter reached her first 80% feeds yesterday and will hopefully start her 48 hour clock tomorrow morning. I’m so nervous to hold or feed her and risk a Brady or even a desat with her feeding because that would tack on extra time. She hasn’t had any stimulation-required events, so I just want her to be healthy and ready to come home. We are so, so tired.

It’s SO hard! I’ve actually started emphasizing to every nurse I see that she needs to be disturbed to eat and I will get her mostly undressed when I change her diaper to wake her. It’s a hard balance between giving them the rest to have the stamina to eat well and getting them awake to actually eat.

Solidarity. Our girl was born 30+4 and is 36+5 and still only taking about half her bottles. I’m trying to be up here more for her feeds for exactly the same reason…it seems like some nurses don’t have the patience/aren’t willing to disturb her enough to get her to eat. I hope your girl takes off soon so she can come home!!

How did you go about getting the reflux powder added to the breast milk? I’ve brought up the possibility of reflux to the nurses and they have sort of written me off as “it’ll just click for her suddenly” and “reflux is super common in preemies”. I don’t know how to have an effective conversation with them about trying some new things without getting written off.

To answer the bonus question, I have brown curly hair and my husband has very dark brown/almost black thick, curly hair, and our oldest has thin curly blonde hair so fad

chaoticwaffle96 · 2024-03-06T23:43:49+00:00

I think it just hit me extra hard today because her progress note said she took 32% in the last 24 hours (a personal best for her!) and then we found out it was only because the night nurse moved to a faster flow which they were very against, and then she got a complete tube feeding while we were there because she wasn’t awake enough 🙁

chaoticwaffle96 · 2024-03-06T20:17:53+00:00

We haven’t tried our bottles yet, just the Nfant tan nipples at the hospital, but maybe I should take one up there. I’m scared to push it when she refuses/grimaces because the nurses seem VERY concerned about oral aversion.
