My SIL is having her baby tonight! She is 33 weeks. The baby failed his pitocin trial today, so they are doing a csection tonight. Please send your T and Ps for a safe delivery and a healthy baby.

T&Ps headed her way for sure. Keep us updated as you can.

When you travel or going to be gone all day, how do you pack formula? This may sound dumb, but we are looking for the most space efficient way. Right now, we bring the bottles and have the water already in it and have one of those containers with pre measured formula in it. It has been working ok, but it takes up way too much space in the diaper bag. We are working on getting her used to the playtex nurser bottle with the inserts but it is hit or miss whether she will take it or not. I would like to be able to only bring the one bottle but then I still have to bring water and formula separate. Any space saving tips?!?
I have two or three ziplock baggies pre-portioned out in my purse/diaper bag at any given time, and carry a spare clean bottle

Okay, I have to vent a little.
My stepdad has been a great man throughout my life, so what I am about to bitch about is frustrating but he isn't a bad man. First, he is old and in bad health, so he is generally grumpy most of the time now. He is 72 and has had 4 major surgeries since August. He and my oldest son are big buddies, but my stepdad isn't as close to my 10 yo DD. Honestly, I think my DD gets on his nerves and he just doesn't know how to relate to her. So tonight my parents are at my house for dinner before my DS1 leaves for a mission trip tomorrow. My DD asked to play Gin. My stepdad and DS1 wanted to play Rummy, but DD had specifically gotten out the cards asking to play Gin. My stepdad basically started arguing with my DD about how he didn't want to play that (I don't think he really knew how to play it and didn't want to say anything). He finally told her that she was being selfish, so she got up and went upstairs crying. My stepdad acted like it wasn't his fault and basically tried to blame it on DD. My mom and I went off on him and then he sat and pouted the rest of the night.
I know he is old, but he hurts DD's feelings and my DH gets so frustrated with my stepdad over how he shows favoritism to DS1 over DD. After my DD stormed off crying, DH left and went upstairs to play Wii with her. I am so frustrated. My stepdad honestly is just getting more and more immature as he ages and health deteriorates.

I don't know if this helps but I bought an insulated lunch bag when I was bringing BM with me but this is what I do now. I bring a bottle and either the to go formulas or preportioned (probably not a word) formula in little containers with water already in the bottle. Picture to help.
toadandbuggie I'm sorry about your sister. That is an incredible douche bag move and I hope your dad understands how wonderful he really is from your talk with him. I'm sure you did a great job with him.

Yesterday I gave this a try. I put the pre measured formula in a breast milk storage bag and poured water in there for mixing when ready to use. I always have clumps in my bottles when I don't mix it in some other container. Not sure if it is really a space saving idea....

They make small containers for preportioned formula. Usually there are three slots and the lid has a hole. You spin the lid to the different area for each bottle.
That description sucks. Follow this link to get the idea of what I'm talking about.
Update on my nephew- Sweet baby E was born at 930 and is 3 lbs 7 oz. He is in the NICU as expected. I should know more tomorrow.
Praying everything goes well! You'd never know it without being told but I am a 3 lb 0.5oz NICU success story, and that was 26 years ago. Hope your nephew is a thriving fighter & your sister gets to be with him soon.
