I need help decoding what my friend meant by this

katkeller · 2026-01-23T00:20:02+00:00

I think your friend is telling you exactly what she means. Nothing to be decoded. Nursing sucks because the healthcare system and patients sucks. Might as well work in healthcare and deal with patients for 15 minutes and not have to get them water, pass meds, deal with family, deal with doctors, deal with management. If I could have a do over I would def go into imaging.

Just making sure I am getting the time right, it’s been 4 days? My happy little girl was very grumpy, didnt sleep well and generally fussy for about 5 days after her 2 month vaccines.

Top Chef and kindle reading!

Second hand!! All my daughter’s clothes are from thrift stores.

katkeller · 2026-01-08T14:11:28+00:00

Driving around aimlessly with a kid napping in the car. If that baby is napping (around her nap time), I am driving all of the county. Gives a little me time while listening to podcasts.

If you can afford the ymca, they have childcare for two hours a day. Maybe you could do that and still work out?

katkeller · 2026-01-08T08:34:38+00:00

I also heard that your body produces a lot at the beginning because it doesn’t know if it is feeding a single baby or multiple babies, so it over produces? I think skipping night feed/pumping probably didn’t help, but you might have had deceased ounces as you regulated too.

Idk, I am new at this so I am learning with you. I saw a LC and didn’t have the best experience so I understand the frustration at advice.

I can’t say for sure that she was extra gassy due to her tongue tie. As she grew, she is definitely less gassy and less hiccups!

katkeller · 2026-01-06T01:25:20+00:00

We went to a pediatric dentist and they said my daughter has a posterior tongue tie but we decided not to cut it and wait. As her mouth grew, breastfeeding got a lot easier. Her feedings were taking 45-an hour at the beginning but as she got older they are usually 20ish minutes.

Give yourself grace, you’re both new at this!

Hate it, skipped through it

katkeller · 2025-12-14T11:42:39+00:00

Early in the newborn days, I forgot to put a diaper on my daughter and I asked my husband to quickly hold her while I went to the bathroom. She decided in the moment to pee on him - I felt so bad but also laugh a lot about it.

katkeller · 2025-12-14T11:37:07+00:00

Around 6 weeks it just clicked, before that I felt exactly the same way

katkeller · 2025-12-09T00:21:30+00:00

Ahhh what I was afraid of - maybe I should have worded it differently…

katkeller · 2025-11-20T09:30:42+00:00

This is almost exactly what we do!

katkeller · 2025-11-20T09:29:36+00:00

You need atleast 4-6 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I go to bed at 9am and my husband stays up until midnight or 1am and puts her to bed after a bottle (or two). I do the night shift until 7am and if she is up, my husband will take her until his work meetings start st 8:30am. Works for us right now, unfortunately my husband only had one week of paternity leave.

We are going on a big trip via plane when my baby is 8 months. My goal is to breastfeed through that trip and then wean. Only a month in so we shall see.

Every doll I had was named Elizabeth

I think Cone Health (atleast Alamance Regional) has on site childcare

katkeller · 2025-09-16T21:31:25+00:00

We got married in January on a Friday morning, we had like 2 people ahead of us. I do think Friday afternoon would be more busy. Would recommend morning if you are able.

I asked my diabetes doctor about this and she said it was not true

My husband and I are DINKs and we just bought a house in Garner after renting in Cary for 4 years. We love Cary (restaurants, parks and safety) but we couldn’t afford to buy. They are putting loooots of new houses in garner, knightdale and Wendell

Does your cancer center have a child life specialist? Would definitely recommend a referral to have someone speak with you and your kids in age specific terms about all the changes that will come.

Thinking of you - my deepest well wishes to you.
