Update on Kathleen! She came home July 9th. Other than a herniated belly button she’s doing great. She has tripled her birth weight to 9lb 14oz and is eating like a champ. She sleeps mostly through the night for me but she won’t sleep for daddy lol.
She is in NICU. She’s off her iv fluids and making plenty of wet and poopy diapers. They’ve stopped weighing her diapers and she’s getting 30ml of either my own breastmilk or the breastmilk that is donated to the hospital. She’s also getting what is called human milk fortifier which has her...
Well Kathleen Grace decided to grace us with her presence a whole 10 weeks early! She was 3lbs 4 oz and 15 inches long. In about an hour she’ll be two weeks old. Night before last she weighed one ounce above her birthweight and has been eating (via feeding tube) like a champ.
ok so some of you know that I’m expecting a bundle of joy in late July. Well I figured an at home waxing kit would be a great idea. 8 weeks before I gotta worry about it and I won’t have to suffocate myself attempting to shave. Well there are consequences if you don’t follow instructions. When...
Joey sees it. That’s why he always complains about having to go back. The only time he voluntarily stays there is if a friend invites him over or they come to his house to play video games and such. I wish he would make friends here when it’s summer but he gets glued to a screen and I can’t get...
@baymule if I could hug you right now I would. I’ve tried so hard to be civil with that woman. If it weren’t for Joey she wouldn’t even know I was pregnant which is honestly how I wanted it. I think she gets that though, I didn’t give her the courtesy of hearing it from us. She heard it from the...
:yuckyuck:lol: I bet. I’m sure I’ll be fine, DH keeps telling me I’ll be fine. This time I actually have a baby bump! At 19 I had a molar pregnancy and three years ago we had to have an abortion because my poor daughter was so messed up, no amniotic fluid, no bladder or kidneys. Just a mess. The...
We try not to bad mouth her or her husband but unfortunately she does on occasion do or say something that ‘flips my lid’and I end up raving about it. Most times I can wait till he’s either in bed or I’m at work asking my coworkers for a good cheap assasin but there are the times where I just...
I feel kinda obligated to go without the epidural. It’s more of a pride thing than anything else. DH’s exwife will forever be saying ‘well I didn’t need an epidural with Joey’ Joey was also an over 8lb baby and there was a decently long labor according to DH. Now I’ve got it stuck in my head if...
:yuckyuck
I hear ya! I have a couple exs that I can’t wait to see off the face of this earth. But none top the red-headed monster that I’m stuck with through Joey. He has even told me I’m a better mom and he wishes he could stay here. He called me ‘mom’ in front of her and she looked like she...
I love my doctor but he is part of a network so I don’t have a garuntee it will be him when I go into labor. I think the fear is more the fact of this being my third pregnancy and the first where everything points at me actually having a baby this time not having to have a medically necessary...
We tried that when he was about ten. He got too nervous and clammed up. Wouldn’t tell the judge or the lawyers anything. Especially if his mom and stepdad were in the room. Plus money is tight with the new baby coming so we can’t afford another fight in court just now. We’ve been playing the...
I’m due this July and now I’m scared :barnie I’ve had to have two operations involving my cervix and uterus. This puts me at risk for premature labor...... maybe I shouldn’t have typed in pregnancy into the search bar
I do treat him a lot softer than I probably should but on the other side of the coin we don’t have the behavioral issues they do. We let him be a kid and be loud (but not too loud) and horse around but his stepdad is so strict he makes me look like Glenda the good fairy despite having to crack...
I’ve tried teaching him how to cook but I’m lucky if he hears the timer to pull something out of the oven while I’m in the shower. He got better about helping out this past summer but anytime we get something down once he goes to his mother’s it just disappears ‘I don’t remember how’ is what he...
It doesn’t help that we never know when we’re gonna have him and when we do it’s only for 48 hours. He makes his bed and folds and puts up his own laundry. The only time he forgets to pick up his room is if his mother picks him up early without calling first
13 hours?! Makes me glad I didn’t ask him to help with dinner dishes geez. I don’t normally ask him to help clean unless I have a huge mountain of laundry and part of it is his. I don’t make him clean up after me like his mother and stepfather. He literally cleans their entire house and takes...
