Re: Longest Thread EVER! (aka Random Thoughts Thread )

  • Thank god for hardwood. What do people with reflux babies do if they have carpet?

    Rub it in with my foot and pretend like it never happened. Carpet is white...Spit up is white...
    I usually ignore it but do steam clean periodically

  • Sounds crazy to say (because it seems pretty bad) but I'm glad it wasn't any worse @irisheyez7‌. Feel better and enjoy those pain meds!

    Not before bed if she falls asleep. I had been worrying about this up until like a week ago, but since she hasn't had any spit-up or gas issues from it, I've stopped worrying about it.

    We are FF now but always for us depended on the kid.. DD was fine without a burp after bf, DS needs the burp
  • @irisheyez7‌ I'm so sorry that happened. Every day is a day closer to recovery. Burns are such terrible pain. Take care of yourself, first and foremost. I'm thinking of you

    If he falls asleep I skip it.

  • Is anyone planning a vacation to Portland OR this summer?? It's a great place for the family! I want to have a bumpie date!
    Come to Portland ME (the other Portland) and we'll chat ;-)
    Flying to Bangor, ME tomorrow. My family is renting a cabin in Caratunk. They are already there and eating moose. I didnt know you could eat moose and why would you?
    My Dad, brother and DH go moose hunting every year.  Moose is delicious.  (One moose will feed all 3 families for a year)

    Can an insurance company can just decide to stop covering a medication you need?

    Have your prescription benefits changed? Unfortunately if there are cheaper alternatives your plan can request that you try & fail all the alternatives if you have a new plan. It does not always happen as soon as your insurance changes, sometimes they won't deny it until you request a refill.

    Check with your doctors office and see if they will so a Prior Authorizarion to get it approved. If you have documented success on this particular med for a few years or a history of failing others you can usually get it approved.

    I spend roughly 6 hours a week getting meds approved for patients, it's a very frustrating process, but if your doctor has done their diligence and charted everything properly it can usually end in your favor. However, sometimes insurance just sucks.

    Hope that answers your question! :)
    Yeah, our prescription benefits have changed, a few months ago, but I guess I wasn't worried then because I had just gotten a 3 month supply. It is a pretty expensive drug, and I can see why insurance doesn't want to cover it. I'm hoping that my doctor can show where the other meds haven't worked, and this one has, but I have only been on it for almost 4 months. If not we will go back to the drawing board.

    Thanks for replying!

  • @LuckySquare‌ my DH was the same way.
  • There's been a huge fruit recall. So maybe you ladies in the NE with empty selves actually got a blessing in disguise?

    Opinions, please.

    I know I'm a FTM, but my husband is the epitome of a new parent. I have so much more experience than he does, and I think it also just comes a little more naturally to me. I'm patient when it came to things like not putting on a diaper the way I would and it leaking it having or coach him through certain things like bath time or a diaper change, but I wish he would have more common sense about things.

    I had to yell at him for basically playing bumper carts with my brother while she was strapped in her car seat inside the shopping basket. It wasn't that hard, but like, no. Don't do that. Or him shaking some of the water off of her from her bath by like bouncing her up and down in the air, you know what I'm trying to say? Or him reenacting a joke of her twerking but he ends up letting her head bobble around.

    Obviously I should say something in all of these situations, but should I not let it stress me out? I just feel like he should know better about this kind of stuff! But I sometimes have to tell myself that I think babies were kind of built to survive new parents.

    I dunno. What do you think? I feel like he's gotten a little comfortable with her now that she's older, and that's why he's becoming a little less gentle?

  • Men are much much much more physical with their offspring than women.

    So... I shouldn't worry about it as long as I know for a fact she's in no way being hurt or potentially at risk of being hurt? I'm worried about her little brain! lol

    I'm not saying don't be worried but men play differently. Maybe ask him to tone it down a notch?

    I have, but he always dismisses it like I'm overreacting. I think he does listen but just doesn't want to let me know that he is... or something.
