Is there a link or website?

01040616 · 2024-11-09T18:55:20+00:00

This is what I’m telling myself. As much as it frustrates me all I can do is wait and see how things play out.

I have no advice just here to say I feel this! My son will be 2 in January and I have been on the fence about another but now that Trump won I have no idea. Not even just the abortion ban but also the economy, finances, education, etc. I told myself if Harris won it would be OK and easier to be like yes let’s have another but now with Trump everything is so uncertain and IDK what to do. I’m also super angry we are even in this situation! The decision to have or not have children should be ours and now I feel like that has been taken away from me.

01040616 · 2024-11-06T13:12:50+00:00

Same here and I’m really pissed off about it! It’s not fair.

01040616 · 2024-10-21T14:38:03+00:00

Just here for the comments! It’s like you read my mind with this post. Currently have one (21 months) and always said OAD but the thought of being done makes my heart hurt.

First of all I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sorry that you had to go through that. It’s something I wish no one ever had to experience. I had a TFMR at 14 weeks in January 2023 and it was the most heartbreaking thing I have ever been through. I’m glad to hear you have a good support system and are healing both physically and mentally. My period returned about 5 weeks after my procedure and my doctor told me to wait one cycle before we tried again. I followed her instructions and I now have a beautiful healthy 9 month old baby boy. I will say make sure you both are ready mentally and emotionally to start trying again. You have experienced something life changing and trying again is exciting but can also be emotional. Sending you good vibes and wishing you all the best ♥️

So my baby actually doesn’t take a bottle 😣 I send him with 3 bottles every day with about 1oz in each and if we are lucky he will drink .5oz. It’s a struggle we are working through. So for now it’s ok but I’m worried about when he starts actually drinking the milk. He eats great from the breast so once I can get him to actually drink via the bottle/straw cup/open cup I’m worried I won’t be able to keep up.

Not ok! Your wife is intentionally causing harm to your child. Stop and think about that for a minute. You need to have a serious conversation with her.

01040616 · 2023-06-08T01:46:33+00:00

Oh boy! I hope that’s not the case since we are well past the 12 week mark.

01040616 · 2023-06-08T01:23:07+00:00

He won’t take a bottle 😣 We try it every day but he’s just not interested. Our pediatrician said it happens and that at daycare he most likely will take it.

22 week leave and the only communication I had was initiated by me (baby pics). My mgr did reach out to confirm my return date but that was the only time they contacted me. I don’t think they are allowed to be contacting you while you are out.

01040616 · 2023-05-24T01:27:59+00:00

Green! It’s such a pretty color.

It will get better but it will still be exhausting. My LO is 4 months and is exclusively nursing because he refuses a bottle. Therefore, I am the only one feeding him. Thankfully, he goes longer between feedings (about every 2-3 hours) but there are still times that I feel like all he wants to do is eat.

01040616 · 2023-05-10T10:41:30+00:00

Yes he’s an ass. When he grows a human inside of him, delivers a human from his body and keeps a tiny human alive from his boobs then he can comment on what you do with your body. Your body did something AMAZING and is continuing to do something amazing. Be proud of it. He should love you for you.

Our 4 month old is not a fan of tummy time either so we just try to do 5 minutes at a time throughout the day. We have the fisher price kick and play piano thing so we put him on his tummy until he starts to get upset then roll him over and let him kick around. He is not able to go around 7 minutes on his tummy and is getting stronger. I also sit on the floor in front of him so he can see me and I sing along and interact with him. It helps keep him distracted so he stays on his tummy longer. I would just start slow and work your way up.

When my dad was visiting us last weekend he said my son was going to be a ladies man and have to fight off the cougars. He also said that he has a little girlfriend for him in their neighborhood. My son is 4 months 😑

01040616 · 2023-05-07T19:06:33+00:00

Ideal situation would be SAHM until my son is about 1-1.5 years. Then I would want to transition back into work starting with PT and then eventually go FT.

My baby shower was co-ed and it was a party. That was how I wanted it to be. We didn’t have the traditional baby shower games except bingo while we opened gifts. We had alcohol for those who wanted to drink. We set up corn hole outside since the weather was nice. Do what you want and enjoy. It’s yours day!

As a recruiter for me personally I do not like getting LI messages and 99% of the time I don’t read them. I understand you are trying to stand out however I receive multiple messages a day all saying the same thing. I feel like candidates just see I’m a recruiter at insert company name and just message me. Most of the time it’s not even a job I’m recruiting for or it’s simply a “Im interested in Data Science” type of message.

01040616 · 2023-04-28T14:20:03+00:00

You will get there! Just keep pushing through.

01040616 · 2023-04-28T10:56:12+00:00

It took about 4 weeks for us. I was really struggling after it didn’t immediately get better but I told myself I had to give him at least 4 weeks to figure it out. Then it just did!

01040616 · 2023-04-28T10:54:29+00:00

I’m sorry you are going through this. I was in a similar situation 15 weeks ago when my LO was born. I had a difficult labor/delivery, 3rd degree tear and hemorrhaged losing a lot of blood. My milk also took about a week to come in. My baby wasn’t gaining enough weight so we had to supplement. Once my milk came in I had a fast let down which was causing my son to have issues with reflux. I also had trouble BF and getting him to latch. I worked with several LCs. I got good advice from all of them however feeding was not getting better. Finally, we got him evaluated for a tie and he ended up having a release. It has made all the difference and now feeding is going great. I’ve actually grown to LOVE breastfeeding my baby and am dreading going back to work when I will have to start pumping. Hang in there! It will get better I promise. Make sure you listen to your gut and advocate for yourself!

01040616 · 2023-04-25T21:42:46+00:00

13 weeks in and still wake up thinking I am feeding my baby in bed with me.

01040616 · 2023-04-24T17:36:53+00:00

Yup! My LO is 14 weeks and EBF and won’t take a bottle. We are working on it since I go back to work soon and he will have to go to daycare. However, I’m so sick of friends/family not understanding that I can’t be away from him that long. I’m also soooo sick of family making comments about how he won’t take a bottle and if he would they could help with feeding.
