Friday night crafting 😊 I really need to get a big craft table to work on my projects, but for now, spread out all over my bed will work. It's messy, but a "controlled chaos."

Since my son was in the NICU and received a g tube in order to be able to come home, I've been lucky enough to do small crafts to help out parents of g tube babies. These are tube connection covers that I make, to keep kids from pulling apart the connector. It's amazing how quickly that results in milk EVERYWHERE (nothing like firsthand experience 😂). My son has now stopped his feeding via tube (though his g tube will stay in "just in case" for several more months), but this project has given me so much peace. I remember how scared I was, how little I knew when he got his tube in. It was such a huge learning curve. And if I'm able to make another NICU mom's experience even a tiny bit smoother, then it's all been worth it. I've teamed up with my son's therapist who sees a lot of babies like my son to create these and get them to families who could use them. So, this is my latest project. 😊

Wow that is so nice of you. I can’t even imagine how stressful that had to be for you. That’s great that you’re helping other mothers who are going through the same thing. You go girl!!!

Am I wrong for telling my Bd that because we not Married my baby don't have to have his last name? He really got mad and told me I was project n ignorant. Crazy part is I was thinking about giving my baby his middle and last name

So tell me about your epidural experience?? I had nubain with my son but that only made me want to go to sleep. As far as I know the epidural is a needle/tube that goes in your spine that could potentially paralyze you? How bad does it hurt?

cjl020415 My first epidural I couldn’t feel it I was in active labor with back to back contractions,
a.mama22 The epidural didn't hurt at all compared to the contractions. It allowed me to actually calm down
mamakatey Thank you ladies!! I'll definitely be talking to my midwife more about it. I'm glad to hear
