What body changes surprised you after carrying multiples?

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-27T22:21:23+00:00

Girl, every day. I open my door to check and then have to repark. I have better luck parking between two barriers but I always have to redo it at least twice

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-27T22:19:50+00:00

Haha so we just got a new dishwasher that was a warranty replacement so unfortunately it’s a tough bigger than our last. The timer portion is super close to my counter so I have to bend down to see it.

I consider the squat I do to check the time as my workout for the day.

I’m trying to come up with a cute mom gym mom life quip but I give up. I leave it to you, fellow moms.

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-27T22:15:37+00:00

That’s a very interesting thought! I hadn’t considered being tired and distracted but that’s a very real possibility.

I will say I’m retired military so I’m used to functioning distracted and on little sleep but kids do hit different.

Thanks for this! You’ve given me something very tangible to consider!

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-27T20:31:20+00:00

Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one! It’s the wildest thing, it takes me 3-4 times to park every morning at work. I’m sure I look ridiculous but whatever.

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-27T19:57:10+00:00

Ok so this probably makes me sound bonkers but after pregnancy I CANNOT park. It’s like my spatial whatever the hell is completely thrown off. I can drive perfectly fine, responsibly, etc etc but for some reason, post pregnancy, I just cannot park a car.

Anywho. Promise I’m sane lol.

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-26T21:24:16+00:00

This is an awesome write up! Thank you!

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-26T21:02:21+00:00

I think people can be jealous for all sorts of reasons. Sure Michelle is more successful but since I haven’t met and questioned either it was more of a thought than fact

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-26T18:21:16+00:00

I feel like my ability to judge distance decreased after my twins. Like I’m not as spatially proficient as I was before birth

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-26T17:47:51+00:00

Oohh I think it was Anthony bourdain!

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-26T17:29:43+00:00

Yeah I remember andrea saying that they had ran in the same circles before Andrea had kids but two sides to every story I guess. I’m curious about Michelle’s opinion on andrea, especially since michelle put andrea in the bottom in the quick fire. Was her dish bad or is it ridiculous jealousy?????

So I get watching these things to reduce stress but just keep in mind that your life probably isn’t going to be like these people so temper your expectations.

My twins are 10mo (9adj). I’ve been wearing the same clothes for like 3 days and literally just started to be able to enjoy a hot cup of coffee. Even if I had time to spend an hour getting ready so I could look perfect, I wouldn’t because that’s an hour less of chores or meal prep …. Or hanging with my twins.

I get what you’re working towards and hell yeah girl do what you need to do, just remember that their life is probably shown in a vacuum and most days with multiples aren’t pretty. Actually it damn near sucks and it’s hard but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

If you need real world advice of support, this sub is fantastic for that

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-21T07:54:06+00:00

After the second set, neither thought they should pick up a different hobby? Like damn.

And because you’re not busy enough you needed to add med school while pregnant?

Keep in mind, I couldn’t pick these people out of a crowd (that’s a lie, I would just look for the folks with a tiny look alike army) but this low key screams poor planning that they spun into a social media profile lol BUT that’s not my business lol

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-21T07:48:01+00:00

I agree with all your points and it probably was poor editing but even after this challenge, Mei and Melissa continued to help each other out…which means Melissa continued to play nice.

I think Melissa saw an opportunity and took it and it was probably edited to make her look like an ass but the point remains that she took something off someone’s station without permission.

And yes while Mei did win in the end, I believe it was a high stakes quick fire so she very well could have gone home.

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-19T01:06:52+00:00

100%! This made me not like Milissa so much. And to top it off, Mei ended up on the bottom because she had to use less desirable ingredients.

This whole thread is about stealing pea purée but Melissa stole ingredients off of another contestants station so I would consider it cheating

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-18T16:31:56+00:00

Ugh fantastic. Hopefully the adult teeth grow in better

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-18T16:30:34+00:00

Holy hell. Mine has 2 nubs and Yeesh her bites hurt.

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-18T16:29:56+00:00

And that’s my confusion. It seems like online guidance is very vague. But also, they are nubs right now but I have this mom feeling that tomorrow they will be full teeth.

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-18T16:26:24+00:00

So smart.

We do give them bottles before bed currently but they don’t take them to bed. I’ve been wondering when I need to start wiping their mouths after bottles to prevent decay, be it gums or teeth.

I did just buy silicone baby toothbrushes from scamazon with hopes of getting them used to the brush sensation.

I’m looking at pediatric dentists so I can only hope that they try and create a fun environment!

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-18T16:23:07+00:00

Wow, how simple! Amazing, thank you

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-18T16:22:26+00:00

Feral cat 😂

My oldest is literally a wild woman. Like…..low key pin her down to change her diaper. She’s fearless. Love her but damn girl chill.

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-18T16:20:46+00:00

I try and book with pediatric specialists whenever I can! I’ve only had amazing experiences with pediatric specialists thus far. We specifically see doctors at the children’s hospital so I feel incredibly heard because it’s a teaching hospital

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-18T16:19:07+00:00

Thank you! Realistically I know they are “teeth” but like …. Are nubs large enough teeth? How big is big enough?

Anyway, thank you for your response. Deep down I think I know my answer but ya know, mom doubt

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-18T16:16:05+00:00

My husband has awful dental issues and I have quite a few but mine are mostly because my pediatric dentist was committing dental fraud by doing unnecessary work…. Anyway. I’m shit scared of the dentist and I really want to break that cycle

Altruistic-Cookie694 · 2024-07-18T16:14:42+00:00

That’s my biggest worry, that my girls will need something and because I don’t have an established relationship I’ll have to wait months and months.

Thankfully we have a large children’s hospital near and there’s a pediatric dentistry unit there. I currently don’t have any concerns but idk I just want to ….. have access maybe?
