PLEASE tell me you got a new nurse wineallthetime. I'm guessing she will get written up after you talk to the higher ups and she SHOULD be taken off the NICU. She will end up killing a baby with those practices. Also, what a bitch to say something like that to you. I've been kind of MIA because I've been stressed out out of my mind. We ended up putting an offer on the house like today... so we will see what happens because there is another offer. I was having major second thoughts and my husband was annoyed and just said to do whatever I want. So I told our realtor we were passing.... then I called her back and asked her if it was too late. So, we ended up doing it. My reservations were how big the house is. I think it's too big... 4200 sq feet. But- it checks almost all our boxes... so we'll see.

sands42, I got a new nurse! I'm sorry for the stress, that'd be so hard. I understand your reservations about the house being too big, I think houses can lose their cozy homey feel if they're too big. Plus, cleaning. It all depends on the layout though. It may be amazing!

So baby is looking good. Head down already and unlikely to move from there. She is measuring 1 week and 5 days ahead though and weighs approximately 5lbs already 😳 I am not too worried about it because all my kids are in the 95th percentile and always measured a week or more ahead, but after my 10lb Theo I am def keeping an eye on it.
Time for baby and me to start eating more salads!

I put together Cadence's basket and filled the plastic eggs. I clearly went overboard, but idc. Mh just keeps saying that's not how they did baskets as a kid. Well, me neither, but it's how I'm doing it for her! This is where you get to use the One and Done excuse. "Well we only had one so we could afford to spoil". Exactly. I would do this if Dude were an only.

Glad the appointment went well, dapostrophe. Stay put, baby! Don't be a follower! Wait until May, okay? kim22 that's bananas. The NICU got a bunch of other May babies this morning. I cut my visit short because it started to get so hectic in there.

And hiiiiiii. I took the day mostly to myself and it was glorious, aside from AF coming this morning (right on time) and me somehow being surprised by it. At least Chase let us sleep last night!
Anyhow, I ran then did Easier baskets after dropping the boys off, then got a pedicure and killed some time at TJ Maxx so I could go out for lunch with DH. I didn't do much all afternoon and now I'm hanging out with my boys. I'm so glad this week is over.

Glad you got a new nurse, wineallthetime! I'm sorry you're stressed, sands42. You have a lot going on, you need to vent sometimes. We're here for you.

We dyed Easter eggs w the kiddos after dinner. They had a good time and kept asking for more to dye. I love that B is really getting into our holiday traditions and starting to get it.

I’m home and laying in bed. H and I are fighting because he takes things out of context all.the.time. When we got home, my parents offered to take S with them back to STL for a few days. They were trying to be helpful but H thinks it’s because my mom doesn’t think he can take care of his own child. Which is ridiculous and the farthest from the truth. So he is in a pissy ass mood, I’m fending for myself, and he is being short tempered with S because of his pissy ass mood. I hope he wakes up in a better mood tomorrow because I don’t have the energy for this right now.

Hope he mellows out soon, lfig. How's your pain? How long do you need to stay on the liquid diet?

I...cannot believe how huge I look there. Like whoa. But, Miss Poppy is going to accompany me on my walks as soon as I think I can get started. I feel good though! No private room. It's like a nursery and I just have a chair by her bed where I can hang out to visit.

There are 5 incisions in my abdomen and 1 in particular that really hurts the most. Liquid diet for a little over a week. I go for my follow up April 9, so hopefully then he will start me on soft foods.

Colin is back in underwear tonight for the first time in over a month. He hasn't had a wet pull-up in weeks, so I am cautiously optimistic that this will go better than last time.

joelies don't say anything if he does wet the bed. Cadence wets the bed about once every other week, but we just take the wet stuff off the bed and she changes her own bottoms, and then she comes to sleep in my bed. I feel like not mentioning it has helped her not do it near as often. Like she was stressed from the pressure before that it made her pee more often. If that makes sense.

Last time he was overly nervous but also sure we'd be mad if he agreed to go back to pull-ups. I would have let him just KOKO but he and DH decided to try underwear again.

How frustrating, lfig! It's so much harder to relax and rest with a kid in the house, even when someone else is caring for that kid!

I'm realizing how lucky I am to have a private NICU room after hearing so many other NICU stories! It definitely makes things more comfortable and easy.

I didn't even know it was a thing until you talked about it, but I'm super jealous. My hospital is a good 90 minute drive with traffic, so visits are going to be an all day thing, pretty much. Any new info about A's infection?
