  This is why I never open the thread if I don't have time to congrats. This way, it shows as never being read and I can go in later.

  This is pretty genius.

  This is a fucking nightmare.
  
  We are still in the NICU. It's not at "my" hospital, but within the same network. I am horrified at the lack of family-centered care. I'm horrified at the bedside manner of the neonatologist.
  
  Her bili is up today, but under the threshold for her age. I asked if we could be discharged with a bili blanket and follow up with our ped tomorrow. The doctor shot back, "I refuse to prescribe a bili blanket bc they are ineffective."
  
  I suggested we do 8-12 hrs of lights today, and recheck her bili tonight. If it continued to increase, we would stay tonight on the lights. If it decreased more, could we be discharged with plans to recheck tomorrow with our ped.
  
  I was told I am selfishly putting my
  daughter at risk for neurotoxicity.
  
  I talked with a PCP friend who said we would not even be covered for a bili blanket with her current levels.
  
  I feel trapped. I feel like they are looking for reasons to keep us. I'm over this. Any time I ask questions, they roll their eyes at me.
  
  We met with a patient rep and there's a new neonatologist on tonight. Pray we get this figured out.
  
  My husband is ready to leave AMA.
  
  

  How horrible. Good luck with the new doc, and stick to your guns!

  I'm going to throw myself a pity party but I don't want to start a new thread.
  
  Niklas penis is swollen and he's complaining of pain. He was perfect yesterday. When we pulled the skin to clean it (I know you are not supposed to, but we have to because they forced it off during an exam) there was a bit of pus under it. As he only has one kidney an infection is scary as hell, and one of my worst nightmares. I am going to talk to his specialist tomorrow (as we are going in for Noah's kidney exam) but that means I'm going to torture myself all night with all the possible scenarios in my head. FML

  Don't panic. It's very likely just an infection of the head, a balanitis. I'd be shocked if it could ascend to the kidney overnight, and even if it could there would likely be warning signs, like fevers and urinary frequency. Just have the doc look at it tomorrow, but it is probably just fine. ((hugs))

  Wanted to share this but can't put it in BFM because really it's an MH AW:
  
  My feet became dramatically swollen during work today to the point I took off my shoes 'cuz my feet were hurting so much and then I couldn't get them back on. And then I almost had a meltdown because how could I get home without SHOES? There is snow on the ground!
  
  So MH came by the office and brought me his comfiest big ole insulated boots to put on for the trip home and gave me a hug and told me how much he loved me and offered me the shoes he was wearing if the boots wouldn't work.
  
  I just got home and he told me to have some cookies (my favorite recipe of cookies that he made the other night) and put my feet up.
  
  LOVE HIM SO SO SO MUCH.

  @pepperedmoth that is so sweet!
  
  @Cmmo14‌ I hope everything checks out okay tomorrow
  
  @TallAsh‌ it sounds terrible to be dealing with a neonatologist like that. I hope the one you meet tonight has some better news!

  Her bili was down. The night shift nurse came in and hugged me and said I did a great job advocating for my daughter. I just bawled and bawled. I didn't want to be a trouble maker.

  Awesome requires some trouble. You make the trouble of amazing mom-ness.

  I feel bad I don't get to get on TB very much anymore. I keep trying to keep up with birth announcements and trips to l&d but it's just not happening. I still love my March ladies though!
  
  If it weren't for my damn roommate driving me up the wall every day, I'd be on more often. >.< I swear, if she bitches about the way I cleaned the dining room the next time I see her, I'm going to blow a gasket.

  ALL THIS.

  
  

  Plus, @Laura8388, @Excitedmum35‌ definitely had her baby, but I also haven't seen her lately.  I remember because she's the other person in AUS on this board.

  Also (ALSO), I officially have bruises on the outside of my stomach from this lady kicking the shit out of me all night from the inside. The doctor keeps telling me she's petite, but she doesn't seem so petite to me.

  
  

  ETA: Perhaps this should have been in Bitchfest Monday. I'll go add more complaining there just to even things out.

  Yes, but it doesn't even compare to the amount of pain post-birth. I feel like my vag is going to fall out and I'm nearly 2 weeks pp.

  Totally random: the diaper service just made its first delivery! Tiny little prefolds --- 80 of them. And cloth wipes. And 5 covers. And snappis. And I am disproportionately excited by this....we are so close to 100% ready for this baby. My doula officially went "on call" for me yesterday too....eeeeeeee!!!!!!

  Ugh my mom is getting really annoying with her obsession with giving LO a pacifier. I'm not totally opposed to them in true semi-emergency situations, but the moment he opens his mouth to make a peep, she's trying to stuff one in!
