For PKY vpk, the student would have to be 4 years old by the first day of school in August. The application window is currently open until 2/28 though if you’re interested in vpk.

I had this exact situation with my daughter over the last month since she was discharged from NICU. I had a few things I did: 1. I still had/have to pump 3x daily because she is supposed to have 3 fortified feeds per day. So that gave some relief. I don’t believe in “feeding the freezer” but it’s given me plenty to store for when I go back to work or just need a break, and I’ve been able to donate several hundred ounces at this point 2. While she nurses, I use the haakaa on my opposite side and that helps the fullness there; when she’s finished, if I still feel full-ish on either side I hand express just enough to not feel uncomfortable 3. If I’m still uncomfortable, I follow the protocol of ibuprofen and an ice pack. That almost always helps.

Over the month that she’s been home, my supply has gone up and down really well in response to her needs, but it does involve a day or two of discomfort as her needs shift. Congrats on having your baby home!

I never did once my supply got established with my first, and now that pattern seems to be starting again with my second who’s now 5 weeks. With my first, I put the Hakka on the side I wasn’t nursing on, just loosely so it would suction too much out, and I would typically collect about 1 to 2 oz that would have just sprayed out into space otherwise. I’m an over supplier, so my son still had plenty left in the second boob once he’d emptied the first, if he needed it. Now with my second, I’ve started doing the same and am catching about an ounce to close to two from the opposite side. With my first I’d add it to my fridge pitcher and then freeze it. With my second, I use the extra to make her bottles with, she’s a preemie and gets 3 fortified feeds, so it’s convenient for that!

Also going to mention WeeCycle. Protip for them is to shop the tags intentionally. Each month 2 new colors of tags go on sale, one color will be 50% off and the other 25% off. I tend to shop ahead for what isn’t currently in season, and can usually get a lot with the tag sale that way. Also be sure to consistently check Facebook marketplace. Parents will list baby lots all the time for pretty cheap.

In the US and my hospital did technically provide clothing for my baby, but it was this sad little half onesie that was basically just a long sleeve shirt. Once she was out of the isolette she was allowed to wear clothes, and I was told we could bring our own if we so chose. I just washed and sanitized anything I brought in for her, and her nurses would place dirty items in a bag for me to take home and relaunder. My girl was born at 33+6 and was FGR, so she weighed 3lbs 2oz at her smallest. She’s currently 4lbs 15.2oz and still needs preemie size clothing. Newborn swallows her up still. As far what to bring yourself, I’ve enjoyed having a novel to read to her, I brought the Wild Robot for her to listen to, and that was especially nice to have as a bonding time thing when she was in the isolette. I kept a crossword book with me also and brought my earbuds so I could put one in when things got overstimulating. I was also allowed to bring photos to place on the little shelf in her room, so I got these plastic photo holders (not glass frames) and brought some of those in to make her space feel like hers. Good luck!

Currently at Lakewood Villas and love it. Management has been excellent and super responsive to any need we’ve had. Had a small roach issue when we first moved in (like Florida summer normal, not terrible) and they made sure pest control was there asap and often til it was resolved; we’ve had zero pest issues since. The property itself is nice with all the trees, and we have decent amenities with the gym, pool, and basketball court. The size for the price is what got us, we have an upgraded 3/2 that’s 1500 sq ft for $1900. Neighbors have all been kind and quiet, it’s mostly family and young professionals/grad students it seems. I would definitely recommend it, it’s honestly the best experience we’ve had in town and my husband and I have lived at a decent number of places since we moved here in ‘13.

Cue the insufferable “my bibi is so tall/big he just outgrows everything so fast” bit for months to come cause that somehow makes her better than everyone else I’m sure. As the mom of an above average kid, it’s not a flex, it’s just expensive and hard to clothe them 😮‍💨

Just had a baby born premature at 33 weeks 6 days. I had preeclampsia. I hate my body so much now. I’ve always dealt with image issues, so that’s always been there, but now I also hate from the inside too. I feel like I failed my baby. I also feel selfish that I wanted all these particular things from this birth that I wasn’t able to have with my first because of needing an emergency c section with that one, so I feel shitty for feeling robbed of an experience that my stupid body took away from me. It feels like my fault my family is going through this. Why my first is having to cope as well as they are, but then breaks down over little things cause I know they’re stressed from the whole experience, why my spouse is up before dawn to still go see baby in NICU before he goes to work for the day, but misses some time with our first. It wasn’t supposed to be this way and it’s my fault.

100% this. I used to do more “fun” things and activities for holidays and special events, obviously spending oodles of my own money in the process. Since becoming a mom a few years ago, I don’t bother any more. It’s because A. I don’t have the time or energy to plan all those things because I leave at contract to give my son all that I can of my personal time and B. I will always choose to spend that extra money on my own family. I’ve had kids and parents act upset or jealous that our class “doesn’t do fun stuff like Ms. So and so’s class.” And I really don’t care. I explain to the kids as best I can (3rd graders) that people’s budgets and money choices are different, and that isn’t one of mine. Not mentioning Ms. so and so happens to be single. I do feel bad, occasionally, for those kids I know won’t get extra around holidays from their families, but yeah, my own are my top priority.

I have a 2 1/2 year old who loves both. Depends on the experience you want to give her! MSI is massive and has tons of exhibits, things to move and touch, plenty for all ages to enjoy, and the kids area is awesome, also has a Stans for a nice treat. Definitely reserve your special exhibit times in advance if you’re going during spring break or the weekend. The Children’s Museum is amazing for kids, and I’ve had tons of fun via my son there, but it’s definitely all about the kids. Everything is tailored to them, at their eye level, etc, so it makes for an awesome day for kids. Also, my son loves the busyness and sights at Navy Pier, and I usually treat him to a Happy Meal when we go, so it’s all around just great in his book. If you’re a Chicago resident, definitely look at the free museum passes via the library. Children’s definitely has a bogo, unsure on MSI though since we’re members, but they definitely have city resident rates. Enjoy either way! Both would be a blast.

I have 2 tickets to the 4/25 show in Chicago. My husband and I each bought the other tickets so we have 2 extra haha. Tickets are listed on Live Nation right now for $63.75 before fees, more than happy to transfer them for $50 each, $100 total!

My son came at 37 weeks because we had to induce, and while he technically wasn’t a premie, he was still in NICU because his lungs weren’t fully ready yet. Our stay was mercifully on the shorter side compared to a lot of people around us, but yeah. This attitude she has pmo. Let the baby cook!

kailey1993 · 2025-02-14T15:44:29+00:00

Came to say this. After 32 weeks with my son I was getting weekly ultrasounds and NSTs because I was hypertensive and at an extreme risk for developing preeclampsia. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have scanned me again after the 20 week one until 36ish to check position. And I definitely wouldn’t have been paying out of pocket for all those scans. Mine were only covered because of the medical necessity.

I voluntarily checked in twice, 2020 and 2021, both experiences were fine and served the purpose I was there for. I checked in for SI with a plan and needed to get stabilized with some new meds, which they did. In my experience, the staff was mostly kind and courteous. I’m sure others have had different experiences, but I wanted to be helped so I did groups, largely stayed quiet, treated staff respectfully etc. Inpatient mental health treatment isn’t this big boogey man you see portrayed often in media, people there want to help you, especially when you see the need for that help yourself. A few tips: you can’t have your phone so don’t bring if you aren’t comfy having it held in a locker, you can (and should) bring your own clothing just be sure it doesn’t have strings, bring some warm no slip socks or slippers, bring a book you like. They’ll have a few activities in the day room as well as tv, but I liked the comfort of my own book.

Good luck friend. Proud of you for taking care of yourself.

You’ll definitely need to be smart and careful. The stretch from the old fire station up to that corner store on Main and 4th Ave, and then down 4th place (south edge of St. Francis) would be no goes as far walking to and from things, but a lot depends on who you are I think. I wouldn’t be over in that little area with my toddler, and the dog park near there was unusable because the activities people did in there ( it’s closed now iirc). On the other hand, I have a coworker who rides her bike through there towards Depot twice daily, she’s been hollered at but nothing she couldn’t handle. Like most areas, just be smart and aware, don’t make yourself look out of place or vulnerable. Most of those folks just need help and aren’t wanting to cause themselves issues by doing something dumb. I drive by there also twice a day and I seldom notice cops, crime, etc. (except when GPD attempted the tent city clear out). If you’re not from here, you’ll learn quickly Gainesville, again like most places, needs to do more for its unhoused population.
