Now that I know I’m at least into this week, I’m kind of hoping for the 11th. That’s my grandma’s birthday and she called it when I first told her I was pregnant. Plus if it’s a girl the middle name is going to be after her ☺️ It’s my little brother’s birthday and why we picked it as our RCS date!

I had all these books I was going to reread from my first pregnancy and I finally went to go find them and I can't! The infant gym is also missing. I'm going crazy. Would you have lent any of those things out? A friend of mine returned all kinds of things to me that I forgot that I gave her to use. No clue who I gave the pump adapter to, or if they returned it but I'm going to borrow one from someone else! I thought of that but I really think I've seen both recently. Oh well.

Did your hospital or insurance give you an estimate of what you would pay out of pocket? We don't have an HSA or FSA and our hospital apparently has the fun new policy of making patients prepay their estimated total so I had to throw down $3500 the week before Christmas. I feel your pain :-( No nothing has to be prepaid. I knew what my ultrasounds has been costing so I was think it would be around that maybe a little higher but this is almost $400 higher than my other ultrasounds. I would ask them about it. $60 for an NST sounds about right to my best guesses but unless you are having specialized ultrasounds at the hospital I can't imagine them costing that much.

Hey ladies! Today was my last day of work! I checked the Sedgwick website and my claim was loaded this morning so I went to work aaaaaaand they updated my calendar and it said I was out for the last 2 weeks. 😑 Are you kidding me? So I had to get that fixed and then I left at 2. Pre op is tomorrow. We have to bring DS bc my parents don’t feel comfortable watching him w the dogs. We’re boarding them while we’re in the hospital. That was pre planned, but come on. I don’t want to bring him to DC for like an hour bc that seems mean and also I told them today he’d out the next two weeks. Sigh. My other big concern is DS cold. I’m worried they won’t let him visit us. He’s had it for 2 weeks. I can’t go 4 days w out seeing him and I really don’t want to just show up at home w a baby after being gone for like 4 days. 😞

Can you facetime with him if they won't let him visit?

Can you facetime with him if they won't let him visit? Yeah we can. I’ve just never spent even a night apart from him. He’s never had a baby sitter. It’s just the women’s hospital. So they just do L&D and women’s cancers and stuff. Main hospital is across there street and children’s is next to that. I wonder if that will make a difference? I mean Wife and I have the cold too.

Just what you need now, right?! Lol great timing. My hospital was pretty breezy with illness, I was sick with a fever and cold when I delivered DD2 and DH and DD1 were sick too and they didn't think anything of it, just told us not to kiss the baby.

Poor kid has really crappy lungs that make things linger. No fever, eating and acting fine. We just nebulize him. There’s not a lot we can do unfortunately. We just have to keep on top of it. He got reactive airway disease a few months ago. That was scary! And had RSV at around a year, which is what ruined his lungs. We’ve spent so much time at the pedi they just told us to neb him when he starts to get sick and continue until he’s better. Unless he’s really struggling to breath, in pain or had a high fever we stay at home.

He’s so used to it, he does really well with it now. He especially likes turning on the machine. 😂

In my experience it is more about keeping the baby healthy and limiting exposure to other patients on the floor. Every place is different though so it might not be a big deal. I hate that you all are sick.

hiimjamie we were in the same boat with DD1 - we’d never stayed away from her for a night prior to the hospital. However we decided not to have her come until check out day because she would probably get upset and not want to leave at the end of the visit. So she came right before check out, got her present from DD2 and “helped” us bring the baby home. That way it wasn’t so random to just show up at home with a baby. Maybe you can do that to minimize passing any of DD’s cold to baby?

hiimjamie as much as it sucks id be prepared for them not to allow him to visit. Our hospital is already talking about locking out all visitors to maternity again because of the flu season.
