Why YSK: cats are nocturnal creatures. If they don’t get enough play during the day they will do everything they can to keep you up all night, including reaching under your bedroom door and pulling it so it slams like someone is trying to break in.

We bought a battery powered fan to keep our baby cool during a potential power loss but that fan has become our #1 nighttime cat deterrent. Place the fan right in front of your closed door where the cat would be banging at your door. A strong enough fan will make the cat uncomfortable so they will not stand in front of it to attack your door.

Apologies if this sounds cruel, we love our 2 cats but this was a game changer on how well we sleep and

Our first was born at 24 weeks and it’s a miracle he’s next to me on the couch right now watching tv. Now we are on our second boy around 18 weeks and yesterday our pregnancy announcement photographer canceled. No big deal we can just reschedule but wife was crying hard. I asked what was wrong and will probably never forget this.

She said we didn’t get any pictures of her last pregnancy since he came so early. If he didn’t make it, it would be like he never existed. She is afraid of this happening with the next one and this weighs heavy on us.

She has been going through a lot this second pregnancy, months of bleeding, weekly shots, preventive surgery and heaviest of all, the anxiety that t

My son was born premature as a complete surprise at 24 weeks. My partner is high risk with heart disease so we had been going to two high risk specialists along with our routine OB appointments.

By the time the high risk specialist saw the cervix opening and the placenta was coming through, it was too late and we had to be rushed to labor and delivery in the same hospital. The information given to us in passing from the doctor was “the placenta is coming through the cervix, they’re going to elevate your legs to slide it back in and then do a cerclage to keep the baby inside.”

When we arrived at labor and delivery, we communicated this plan to the OB and she said, they do not do cerclage on

This is for all future or current NICU parents who are relying on Medicaid to cover their preemie from birth to his first year. I’m sorry if this isn’t accurate for your state, we’re in florida.

My partner and I just went through hell navigating the SSI and Medicaid system for our 24w 6d baby boy. He is in the hospital 99 days today and we JUST got his Medicaid card in the mail.

I consulted my work insurance provider and they said the work health plan we need is going to be 1500 bucks and we need to look at a private insurance provider because it will be cheaper. Private insurance said Medicaid will cover all expenses from birth to his first year. This lined up with what the social worker

Our son was born 11/18/21 at 24w6d. Once he was stable in mid December, we made an appointment to apply for SSI that was set for 2/4/21. We also did our own Medicaid application in December before getting approved for SSI because we wanted to have something submitted for time sensitivity of him coming home.

We just had our meeting with social security Friday due to a long COVID appointment backlog. Our son was approved for SSI and in our appointment the SSI officer applied for Medicaid on his behalf.

He is now a week or two from discharge and we don’t know when we’ll hear anything back from Medicaid. I know they will need some time to process the application for Medicaid but I’m stressing

I am looking to mount a 75 inch tv with an extendable mount. Had a professional come help me mount it but we had to stop when we hit metal studs since he did not have the right tools/hardware. That got me looking into metal studs and I’ve read most are 1 1/4 inches wide but the metal in my wall is around 3-4 inches wide and runs from floor to ceiling.

Here are a couple images of the stud locations and what I’m hitting when I drill.
