Sean, health to S and peace and calm to you. {{{}}}
ChiKat, I know that it's necessary, but I always think it's criminal that they deliberately make you go hypothyroid.
Yeah, it pretty much sucks. Last time (it was almost 2 years ago now) was the best. I only had to go hypo for 5-7 days (with chemical assistance) instead of the 10-12 weeks. In fact, I'm overdue for that test now. I was supposed to go in April to start up the process again. I need to call my doc on that.
Good news, I will only have to do it this time and once more. Then, I won't have to do it again unless something wonky shows up. Yay!
I'm sorry, Sean. Best vibes towards S.
It's not been a good week. Universe, don't make me come up there.
Oh no, Sean. My thoughts and prayers are with you and S.
I need the hivemind.
I am with baby Julia and P right now and we are working on the baby registry. What do new mothers / parents need? I need recs people!
Also? NEW BABY! She is beautiful and I can't believe I stopped holding her so I could type this.
Awww. New baby! No recs for baby stuff, but I am so happy for P., especially with all that she has been through.
Lots of folks swear that a bouncy chair is a godsend.
Oh, Sean. Vibing all kinds of health~ma S's way.
What do new mothers / parents need?
Plenty of onesies and receiving blankets.
A bouncy seat.
A baby bathtub, plus washcloths and towels with hoods.
A Snugli.
A Boppy pillow, especially good for breastfeeding.
A "baby needs" kit with thermometer, nail clippers, nose syringe, etc.
Sandra Boynton books!
That's just to start...
I am with baby Julia and P right now and we are working on the baby registry.
Wow. I first read this with a period after the word "baby" and I thought, "Cass is pregnant??!! Whee!!!"
Awwww...Cass, how fun!
I hear onesies are always a must!
I have heard that the cloth diapers make good general wiping-up clothes, and they come in pretty (from Target, for example)
