You’re welcome. I remember being completely underwater at three weeks (our baby had just gotten released from the NICU, and my DH had already had to go back to work a week earlier). I’m still half-underwater now, tbh, but it’s definitely getting better, and the immediate sense of trauma and loss (that feeling of being separated from my baby right after birth, and knowing that that’s time I can’t ever get back) has receded a lot. I can remember it and even talk about it now without crying, and that feels like a big improvement.

Yeah, even a waterproof room might not be enough sometimes. I got peed on last weekend (I got too cocky right before bathtime!), and yesterday we had such a catastrophic diaper malfunction that the baby not only blasted out of the diaper, but soaked through a fleece sleep sack and then soaked the pack and play sheets in a puddle underneath. All hail waterproof PNP sheets. I’m constantly amazed by how much waste can come out of such a tiny body.

Vaccine stuff is one area that really shows you a new side of people that you thought you already knew well. We had people who balked that I would have expected to be totally cool with it, and people who didn’t hesitate who I would have expected to flat-out refuse. I’m glad that the people in your life who refused were willing to accept pictures until your LO gets older and gets his vaccines. And as for FAB, well...pineapple.

Our owlet didn’t get purchased off the registry either. We went with a refurbished owlet (which was $199 instead of $299), and then stacked that with the amazon registry completion discount, bringing it down to $169 total instead of $299. It looks like it the refurbished one isn’t currently available on Amazon, but they do still have it listed on the Owlet website for $199. We had asked the NICU doctor/nurses about it, and they pretty much said “either it’ll work REALLY well for you at easing your anxiety, or it’ll make things so much worse. You’re welcome to try it if you want to, but you won’t know which one it is unless/until you try it.” I figured that if it made me more anxious, I could always return it within the 45-day return window and get our money back. I actually kept it in the box for the first week or so at home, until the night I kept waking up panicked that I couldn’t hear the baby breathing, and then realized I couldn’t see the baby’s chest moving in the dark in the bassinet (tiny chest, tiny movements), and trying to put my hand on his chest to tell, and then still couldn’t tell, and ended up shining my cell phone light on him to see if he was breathing, which showed that he was, but then that woke him up, and it took forever to get him back to sleep, at which point I dozed off, and then woke up panicked again - rinse and repeat allllll night. I took the owlet out of its box the next day. I keep it on the nightstand in a direct line of sight from my pillow so that when I open my eyes, I can see the green ring glowing really softly, and know immediately that the baby is okay. I feel embarrassed writing all that out, but PPA is a hell of a thing, and sometimes just talking about it helps normalize it a bit. I’ve thought about the owlet camera before, and think that they actually sent out a $50 off code for people who already had the sock (maybe they have something similar for people who already have the camera?). What do you like most about the camera?

Good luck with your second session of therapy. Sometimes talking helps, sometimes meds help, and sometimes they can refer you to other resources you hadn’t even thought of. I hope it goes really well for you.

Adding a pineapple to the registry sounds excellent. Apparently Amazon even has convincing fake ones. Who knew?
