@mendicant love your screenname btw isn't that like roosevelt's daughter's pet snake

@mendicant nothing shameful about WIC whatsoever! we should be proud that WIC exists, it's a noble program

@diddle that's so rude they wouldn't let B back into see A without you fibbing! i would have fibbed too! our NICU had a "no siblings" rule but they make exceptions for multiples who got home faster, they even had a pack n play set up for A next to B's cot, i thought that was really sweet...

@15gb2 at first i woke them up every 3 hours changed and fed them and put them back to bed and then as they got older i woke them up every 3 hours during the day only and fed them changed them played with them and put them back to bed and then i changed the schedule ever so slightly to line up...

@graceandgranola i had to do it because there was two of them and if i wasn't in charge of when eating and sleeping happened there would never be a time when i could eat or sleep

@deyahss41 every morning my hands and feet are so so stiff and sore! it's so annoying! i thought maybe i was sleeping on them weird because sometimes it's pins and needles but sometimes they're just really sore instead, they feel like i just came in from the snow into a hot room yknow? like...

@mikalister seconding "use this community as google" i eventually learned on my own that how i googled things now was reddit searching r/Nicuparents + whatever term. regular google is worse than useless for us. people out in non-NICU land have no idea what they're talking about and many of the...

@ninkies once i stayed home for two days straight to soak in the hot tub and watch marvelous mrs maisel. do whatever feels right to you at the time, once you're done with that place you'll never have to think about it again and you won't remember how much you did or didn't visit

@eb3 oh i am so sorry, that sounds so frightening

@cinder7 as long as she's willing to be overruled by the doctor at the first sign of trouble i don't see the harm in her being optimistic. i told all my doctors i was going to make it to 37 weeks and boy was i ever wrong but they don't like, come in and taunt you about having been wrong, or anything

@kimhimmel my twins were born after a non-reassuring scan, one of them was having weird dips in his heart rate, which later turned out to be due to a true knot in his cord. i had been being monitored intensely anyway because of absent end diastolic flow on the other twin. i'd been given the...

@gotz i hated those too. what a relief the day they cleared us. i tried to schedule them in the morning on the same day we had something else to do at the children's hospital so we could go to the eye doctor, eat in the lobby, have a stroller nap, go to the other appointment (PT or whatever)...

@sarah5 similar story, both twins. they're almost 9 months adjusted now and the big guy weighs almost 30 lbs 👀 nobody has any idea they were so tiny

@jyohmesheh i don't have any study to back this up but my thinking has been that if it's something a baby could see out the window if our house happened to be located next to a wildlife safari or a historic railroad or whatever instead of where it is then it counts more as window time than...
