Oof... so first, SO decided 5:30am was the best time to lay down when we were supposed to get up at 6. Yeah.... I woke up for a mad bathroom dash and realized it was definitely after 6am. It was 8:15. So I poke him awake, shove him in the shower, and call the dentist to make sure their emergency clinic was actually happening.
We get there about 8:45, they took him in about 9:15.... we got home right at noon. DD was mostly very very good, for all we sat in the waiting room for 3 hours. And because both DD and I are patients there, they are trying to set him up for full evaluation appointments this week, and he should qualify for sliding scale payments, too. He got the broken filling fixed today, and now we can look at whatever else needs to be fixed. So it all worked out so far at least.
Stupid me didn't eat anything before we left, and now I am on the couch with screaming back muscles and starving. Too tired and hungry to fix lunch.... boo.

This cup is amazing. We have them in the 20 oz and 32 oz sizes from Target. We have left ice water in the sweltering car for hours and come back to ice water.
Noooooo!!! Can you express a little colostrum? That will clear it right up
Ok, dumb question here. You can put colostrum in your eye?
Absolutely! Breast milk is maaaaaagic. You can also put it in your baby's eye if he or she has a clogged tear duct, and squirt some up into a stuffy baby nose. Any time I get a cut or scrape I always rub a little on it to help it heal.

Mind blown.
i learned about using it to help chapped nipples, but that was the extent of my learning of its magical properties.
pbandjelly I was thinking about you at 3am last night. Not in a creepy way, more like another premie mom to ask questions way. How are yall? How is weight gaining going? I'm curious because I'm trying to decide about going on demand vs a strict bottle schedule. The pedi was pretty nonchalant about it all.

I made a baby yesterday. Team green turned into team blue! He's awesome! SO has been cuddling him practically non stop. Baby has a newborn rash? He's all spotty! dc2london, would say rub some milk on it? I may also be in the bloodshot/pinkeye camp.

Not creepy. I've been following how you are doing as well. We're doing great! He was at 5lbs, 6oz as of his 1 month check up 2 weeks ago. So he's up 2lbs from his birth weight. He has another weight check on Tuesday and I'm pretty sure he broke 6lbs, he's fitting into newborn clothes now. Our pedi was pretty nonchalant about a feeding schedule too, as long as his weight gain continues to be good. We brought him home on a strict schedule and had to wake him up to eat. Since he started waking up to eat on his own, we moved to an on demand schedule. Although, he's still waking up every 2.5-4 hours and still eating 8 times a day. I'm trying to get him off of a slow flow nipple this weekend, as well. He takes so long to eat and falls asleep several times, so I'm hoping a medium flow nipple will help him eat faster before he falls asleep.
How are you guys doing? I was happy to see all your kiddos are back together and getting along well with the new little one. Are you all settling in to the new place?

pbandjelly that is great to hear! She was 6lb 2oz at her 1 month so 2oz shy of the 2lb mark. I just put premie clothes away this afternoon and it was a really good feeling! We too are 8 bottles a day but she is wanting to cluster feed in evening so I think I'm going to see if she will space 1 feed out a night to 4 to 5 hours. Which would be an amazing stretch of sleep for all of us! I haven't ditched premie nipples yet because the level 1 seems to just spill out of her mouth more. Plus I am still trying to have her nurse during the day so I don't want her to get to dependent on the bottle yet. What is your pedi saying about formula? Our says she has to have 2 bottles of neosure 22 a day no matter what for 5 months. It's so expensive and there isn't a generic version. Just curious what they are telling you since I haven't been able to find a ton of evidence saying how long premies need premie formula
Settled into the house, just really haven't been able to explore community yet. We tried a church last week and all the people wanted to see the baby and my H was blabbing how she was a premie so everyone wanted to know the story. I just don't want to spill my whole life story to someone I just met (especially since my health was so invovled) and I kept her in a wrap and very covered the whole time. So I guess I came off cold and bitchy. I shouldn't go out till I'm ready to really be sociable. Idk how are you dealing with his story? I just want to talk about it on TCF, I'm not really wanting to talk about it with anyone in real life. Even though it seems we are in the clear for most issues. I don't want pity but I also get irritated when people act like 33 weeks isn't early because their neighboors 4th cousin had a 26 weeker and blah blah blah. I'm a complicated soul

I'm not sure on how exactly it works, but I've heard that insurance will cover certain formulas. I know that you need a prescription from the doctor. You may have to actually get the formula at the pharmacy of thru your insurance mailing it too you. But may be worth looking into, I head that stuff is super expensive!
