Oh geeze! He's really a good dog, I just hate this whole potty training thing....I just did it with my daughter!

LOL. Poor doggy, poor mommy.

Your doing great,
my daughter is a NICU graduate. she was fed every 3 hours at the hospital and when she got home, she also had nippeling problems and still ate every 3.

I agree with you that it is a very difficult experiance having a child in the NICU, can't really relate until you've been there. I had an emergency c section and pumped milk for my little girl and hobbled my broken butt IV and all down the hospital to feed her.

some people are just asses.

Well, it just got me upset that all I tried to do was reiterate what had been told to me by medical professionals and everything became a big misunderstanding and then they were making comments about things they knew nothing about, a big unnecessary drama, but its over. Didnt that suck having to go down there when you are feeling like a truck ran over you? I felt like my abdomen was about to explode (I had 2 surgical sites) but I couldnt wait to go see her. Im sure thats how all NICU moms feel. How old is your little one now?

Yeah it hurt like hell but I felt a pride that I have never felt before being able to make milk for her so it was worth it for me.... she is doing great now she is 8 months old and wears me out!  

When Lilly was in the NICU she was being fed every 4 hours while every other baby was feeding every 3 hours because she just wanted to sleep.
I stopped feeding every 4 hours when I got home and let her eat when ever she wanted to.

Mine was getting fed every 3 hours.

Now she gets fed 3 mls every hour because it helps her tummy tolerate it better.

Congrats on your baby girl! My daughter was also a 28 weeker. Did she have IUGR or anything?

Im still new to the nicu lingo lol. I shouldnt be but i have the nurses and doctors explain everything to me in detail.

It stands for intrauterine growth restriction. I was asking because your daughter is pretty small for a 28 weeker, I was just wondering if there was anything besides your pre-e going on?

Not really. They told me that madison was a good size. Not to big or too small. Now she weights 3 pounds 2 oz.And is doing great besides the fact that she has a bit of digestive probelms.

Sometimes the pre-eclampsia can lead to IUGR. Thats what I was told. Thats why they put me off work back in January cause my OB said it could affect her growth.

Wow, thats good for starting out so little.

Huh, interesting Well glad she is doing well!
