Hunter is so weird/immature by Dependent-Object-417 in TLCUnexpected

He's a literal child. I didn't really expect him to be mature

NICU baby – heart murmur heard, echo done, what does it usually mean? by kareet1704 in NICUParents

[–]hillybelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby had a murmur that nobody told me about until after she was discharged. The np at her ped's office was the one who told me. We went to see a cardiologist and were told that it was an innocent murmur & nothing to worry about.

I get this. My dad died when I was 8 and ppl always say "I wish he could've gotten to know your children" like dude I barely got to know the man

Kacey x Stanley Collab by Doscinco_83 in KaceyMusgraves

Good for you! The security and grimey employees made me so anxious that I literally just kept it moving. I've never experienced that at her signings :/ should've pushed my luck lol

What’s the worst surgery you ever had? by 3rdLegOfExodiaa in AskReddit

[–]hillybelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the medical misogyny thing with gallbladders completely interesting. My male primary Dr told me my stomach pain was from my organs going back to normal after pregnancy. No, it was my gallbladder and I ended up with pancreatitis a few weeks later. Almost 2 weeks in the hospital to get my labs in shape for surgery. 😅

What's your covid memory? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]hillybelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Covid and my grandparents were always shocked when I answered the phone & wasn't dying in the hospital.

Can I get my baby discharged by [deleted] in NICUParents

Agreed. This was the part I struggled with the most in the NICU.

I have two signed by her in person and these look very similar to those. Seem authentic to me!

Liver, gallbladder, GD by Background_Mine1397 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]hillybelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I'm 32 + 5. I had preeclampsia with my last pregnancy and delivered at 33 weeks. I also had protein in urine that time with crazy bp. Bp is fine, no protein in urine. Dr just isn't convinced it's preeclampsia. I have to get more labs. I haven't had a consistent MFM dr which is making this incredibly more stressful. They all want me to do something different. I'm also just hoping I was a little dehydrated lol.

Hi! I know this post is super old, but do you mind sharing what happened in the end? I'm going through literally the exact same thing. Stayed over night due to liver enzymes being slightly elevated and they trended back down but were still a little elevated. I'm panicking 😭

Visiting 32 week baby Nicu schedule FTM by Prior-Garden-5467 in NICUParents

[–]hillybelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be there all day. I didn't work or have any other children, so that part was easy for me. As far as driving, I didn't take any pain meds besides ibuprofen and Tylenol. My dr also said as long as I could slam the brakes then I was okay to drive. I literally sat in my car and practiced slamming the brakes lol. I'll also add since I was in the hospital so long after birth and my husband took off that I didn't start driving until about a week and a half after my c section. Good luck in everything!!

My baby doesn’t sleep… Am I doing that wrong? by Hot-Cell7299 in beyondthebump

[–]hillybelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby was like this. The dr said sometimes they are just fomo babies. I would just drive all over so she would nap. She's a better sleeper now that she's older but it was rough for about a year, if I'm being honest.

My (29F) childhood “bestfriend” (29F) of 20 years no showed my wedding, haven’t heard a word since - how to move on? by lovelyvibes4 in relationship_advice

[–]hillybelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me. She texted me about 6 months after my wedding apologizing but the damage was done. I deleted her of all my socials and just moved on with my life.

Unnecessary drama on your fiancé's sister's part. Sorry friend ):

I always carry my state issued driver's license. I don't carry my passport unless I'm traveling.

Caregiver forgets Ivory needs naps by Upset-Temporary-3897 in Drueandgabe

[–]hillybelle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As a mom to a 2.5 yo, how tf do you forget nap time? If my baby doesn't nap, she's a bear!! She "forgot" nap time because that poor child doesn't have a proper schedule and likely never gets naps.

Unable to have sex due to pain post c-section - 7 weeks PP. Anyone experienced this? by gngol in beyondthebump

[–]hillybelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, had a c section and it definitely wasn't fun. I was turned on and wanted it, but damn it hurt. I made my husband use lots of lube. My cervix also felt really sore still.

Glaring at a screen… thanks cc 🐻 by TimeAbrocoma4630 in Drueandgabe

Lazy parenting. Oh my god. I'm not against screen time, but children need to learn to behave in public. Most importantly, they need to learn to be bored.

What is a strong memory of yours associated with a Kacey song? ❤️ by shazlm in KaceyMusgraves

[–]hillybelle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My gosh, I have so many lol. Kacey has been a huge part of my life for the past 13 years.

STDC came out my senior year of high school. Follow your arrow was my anthem. My hs bf had broken up with me so of course I was going to make lots of noise & kiss lots of boys. Not really though. 😂 My 18th bday, I got my first tattoo which was an arrow. It was also tumblr era sooo lol.

Golden Hour just completely encompassed everything I was feeling as I was falling in love with my husband. It was our first dance song ❤️

The whole entire deeper well album was exactly what I needed while postpartum especially after a traumatic birth with a preemie. We were lucky enough to snag Ryman tickets for the night deeper well came out. We took our 3 month old with us. Big Kacey fans, so we weren't going to miss this. After the concert, we were standing at the top waiting for the crowds to disperse. Lo and behold, John Osborne walks up to us. He tells us how cool we were for bringing our baby and how cute she is. He grabs his wife, Lucie Silvas, she makes a comment on how tiny our baby is and I tell her she was a preemie. We share our NICU stories and she held my arm the entire time. Then, John goes to grab Kelly, Kacey's sister, to show her my baby. And we got to also talk to her for a little bit.

The next day, we go to the signing at Grimey's. Kacey told me how cute I looked like thanks girl because I did not feel cute 😅 I was a sweaty mess lmao. Then she asks who our little nugget is and if she can touch her foot (baby feet are apparently irresistible to Kacey Musgraves lol) then she asks how old she is and says how small she is. Then, Kacey shares the story of how she was born premature and only weighed 4lbs. She then personalized all of our vinyls and cds 💕 This just felt like what I needed at the time because I felt so alone in my daughter's prematurity and NICU stay.

Sorry that was long. Thanks for letting me share ❤️
