RokosCockatrice posted:Honest question for people with older kids- do you teach your kids about having game? An early scene in into the spiderverse where the uncle sits the main character down and says "this is how you talk to girls" was funny but also something 15 year old me could have really benefited from. while this thread is full of people who have verifiably had sex, it’s probably not the one to get tips on how to talk to girls in

glad that our baby has decided her daily meltdown will run for about 2 to 3 hours anywhere between midnight and four am, really easy to schedule around

when we were hanging out in the nicu we'd listen to the nurses prep the other parents to see their kids and the most  one was when they had to get some people ready to see their kid with an IV line into the head for glucose

having a baby that needs medical procedures done is pretty great if you like to inflict trauma onto people though. we took kiddo to get some blood drawn (they couldn't do a heelprick due to volume required, had to be a vein draw) and when the phlebotomist realizes we're there to get the baby drawn the color drains from his face. we've been advised to specifically ask for pediatric nurses in the future.

my wife's epidural for c-section went ok but they had to do an arterial line to monitor her bp because she has some valve problem, anyway, I was trying to keep her mind off the dudes putting the line in and I noticed they loving missed on the first go-round and oh boy there was a lot of blood all of a sudden.

kid's doing pretty good. we got a referral to early intervention stuff and they did an assessment, said her cognitive stuff is fine, bit of a delay on motor skills tho so we get like six months of in-home baby physical therapy, score.

didn't have the heart to tell them that she probably face planted when they put her on her tummy because she spent most of last night screaming rather than sleeping

the only thing I really recall from the actual c-section was that the doctors spent 90% of the time complaining about how they just changed over to epic from whatever their old EMR was and it struck me as hilarious that jobs are jobs at the end of the day

you want fun, we're scarring phlebotomists right and left by having to get veinous blood draws on a 2.5 month old after they spent like 3 minutes trying to get a vein today they finally listened and paged a pediatrics nurse who got it in like 30 seconds, way to go team

the end is in sight for the supplemental oxygen for babby, gonna trial her off it during waking hours this week then schedule an overnight test on Friday, if she stays good all night then we’re free from the monitor and o2

we’re looking at like 4k a month for a nanny (specifically one that has worked with infants and is looking for a multi-year arrangement) which is, frankly, nuts. but it’d be extremely bad to send the kid to a daycare given her respiratory stuff, even without covid to deal with. I can see why a lot of women quit to take care of babies though, the cost for this poo poo is really nuts. we’re both puter touchers so we can find the cash for it, but idkwtf other people do

highly recommend giving your child a gender neutral but coded as opposite sex name so people call them the wrong thing or try to spell it in a feminized fashion

babby had her sleep test last night and seemed to do very well, this is the first time in her life she’s gone 24 hours without supplemental oxygen. much easier to handle a babby when they aren’t strapped to a pulse ox/hrm and nose cannula

we have the happiest baby swaddle and it’s about the only one that actually works reliably, but she still fights it. looks like you’ve got her in a baby straightjacket though

ours has started to really develop a preference for mom to the point where she’ll be chilling out with me as long as mom isn’t in the room or she doesn’t hear her, but the second she’s in LoS it’s max strength party time until mom holds her
