A blog to help me document my journey out of debt.
About Me:
ceejay74
I'm the CFO of a three-adult, two-child, two-cat household. There's me (CJ, age 50), my husband (NT, age 51), my wife (AS, age 45), and our kids AA (age 14) and SL (age 12). The cats are named Whiskey and Clue and they're about 13 years old.
Until July 2007 we hadn't been serious about financial stability, but then we started focusing on paying down our massive debt, building an emergency fund and saving for retirement. In October 2010, we finished paying off all of our credit card debt--over $70,000! Adding in student loans and mortgages, we've paid off more than $250,000 of debt so far. In June 2015, we used a windfall to pay off all our remaining non-home-related debt!
cptacek, I haven't heard of the "kangaroo system" but I imagine it's something similar. The nurses and lactation consultants suggested skin-on-skin contact to encourage both feeding and bonding, and in that picture one of the nurses had just told me to lift up my shirt and put it over her. She really likes the skin-on-skin; sometimes it's all that will comfort her.
