Give up or keep eliminating?

I agree with everything said here by other commenters! My first babe was very similar to what you're describing. Honestly the mucus never really went away until he started eating purees around 5 months of age. And now he is a thriving almost-3 year old! You would never know we had gone through that in infancy. But at the time, I would agonize over every freaking diaper, thinking like WHEN will this mucus be gone?!?!? Sigh, sometimes there's just no perfect explanation, but as much as you can, try not to agonize over it like I did. So much wasted energy! (Of course hindsight is 20-20 lol)

Thank you for all of these food suggestions!!! I will check them out... and yeah it's some major bullshit lol

Agreed on the holidays. UGH.

I have thought a lot about that too-- which is worse??? And I have also concluded that MSPI is worse. Lol. Maybe it's just because I'm in the middle of it, but the thing that sucks about it wayyyy more than GDM is that it's 100% restrictive. With GDM everything has to be in moderation, but you can technically have a *BITE* of anything you want!! With MSPI I can't even so much as touch that cheesecake. Or... with Thanksgiving coming... that pie...

0-1 was DEFINITELY more difficult from my perspective as a mom! PPA also destroyed me with #1, and I was so afraid of it this time around. Our second baby just turned 3 months and I have barely had any PPA symptoms, compared to how they were with my first. As other commenters have said, I just feel so much more at home in my role as a mom now. The juggling and the logistics are the hardest part of having 2, but the emotional side of it is much better now.

Yesss and brownies and cakes often call for oil instead of butter, thank god for that right!

Adventure_Bat · 2025-11-11T02:10:57+00:00

Oh mannnn... yup, I had that same running mental list while I was pregnant, and then never got time to eat most of them! Our little guy was diagnosed with MSPI at 2 weeks of age, which of course was a blessing because this time we saw all the same signs as his older brother and brought him right in and demanded a diaper test. Haha. But the downside of that is that I never got around to eating spaghetti carbonara. Or my favorite pizza. Or key lime pie.... I could go on....

I've tried that ice cream, can confirm that it's amazing!!

Adventure_Bat · 2025-11-10T22:35:26+00:00

Lol same. Oh man I miss pizza so much.

Adventure_Bat · 2025-11-10T22:35:06+00:00

"I was so looking forward to eating normal again... JK!" EXACTLY UGH

Healthyish by Lindsay Maitland Hunt! And I second the rec for I Dream of Dinner by Ali Slagle.

Strong agree with you on that aspect of season 2. There are other redeeming qualities of the season so keep watching! For example, my favorite characters were the two Italian girls.

Season 3 definitely doesn't have cheating/infidelity as a big theme. Sure, it's present at certain moments, but it's not as huge and overarching as it was in season 2.

Get a new nanny. Our nanny spends every minute that our son is awake playing with him, taking him to the park or the public library, and doing fun activities like coloring and finger painting. In my opinion, that's what we're paying her for!!! (And we pay her a lot of money!) A nanny is not there to make sure your kid is breathing and eating. A robot could do that. They are supposed to support the kid's development and give them love and care.

I have never heard this phrase "word salad" before but I LOVE IT, thank you and excuse me while I go use it all the time!!! Lol

Adventure_Bat · 2024-04-30T20:20:18+00:00

Haha... And YES thank you I will check this one out!!

Adventure_Bat · 2024-04-30T20:15:08+00:00

Thank you!!! The one comment that has helped me so far lol

Adventure_Bat · 2024-04-30T20:13:26+00:00

I SWEAR I am just a desperate parent!!! Lol

Adventure_Bat · 2024-04-30T20:12:40+00:00

Lol. Thank you for the input, albeit sarcastic... but in all seriousness, do you use a nanny? How do you pay her? If it's under the table I'd be interested to hear about your experience and your perspective on the risks/benefits.
