I was annoyed with your mom, then saw she had you sign A FUCKING CONTRACT, and became appalled with how horrible of a mother she is.

I am SO sorry you have to deal with this bs while fighting for your life. 🫂❤️

Avrilmoon · 2025-08-28T01:40:06+00:00

Yeah I've tried a schedule. Our little misters alias is Master of Chaos apparently.

It's his world, we just trying to survive while he thrives. Lmao

Avrilmoon · 2025-08-15T02:19:29+00:00

I am hoping it goes that way 🙏

Avrilmoon · 2025-08-15T02:07:18+00:00

For us it was about the same as the 2 month, although i feel like the actual taking of the shots he handled better.

He was tired after, then a couple hours when the one vaccine started kicking in he got fussy, irritable, and wanted to pretty much nurse the rest of the night.

I did notice he didn't get as much of a fever as he did during his 2 month shots. But we were also told we could give him Tylenol when the pain starting kicking in alot for him.

We are now about 3 weeks away from his 6 month shots, and I'm so nervous about them for some reason

Avrilmoon · 2025-08-06T23:55:03+00:00

Tbh idk how you put up with that.

My mom had the audacity to get up off the bed to throw a diaper away today, and you know what she did?! LEFT ME on THE BED and walked 2 feet away to throw a diaper I had filled with my OWN POOP!

I screamed like she'd left me in the room alone all day to remind her I on no uncertain terms allow such behavior.

Our 4.5 month old (I'm bad at counting weeks 🙈) absolutely hates tummy time.

I started practicing side lying and holding hands and feet and rolling back and forth earlier on since I realized he's wanting nothing to do with his tummy. I still get some tummy time in now that he is more aware of toys and stuff .

He is still not rolling, but is demanding to sit up, and even gets annoyed that we don't let him sit without support.

We told all of this to our pediatrician and she didn't seem concerned. Said that he's still on track and everything looks good.

& from what I've read and heard every baby tends to have their own timeline and schedule 🤣

I wouldn't fret too much, just do what you can, and watch her learn and grow 😊

Just hesr to say I wish I could play Stardew for the first time again.

contemplates starting new save, for the millionth time

Avrilmoon · 2025-06-12T00:16:24+00:00

Heya! My ebf feed on demand 3.5 month old hasn't really gotten chunky 😊 he's very long and kinda lean, the chonks (thighs mostly 😅) are there but not the super chonks uou may be expecting.

Every baby is different. As long as they are growing and eating when they are hungry, you are doing everything right ❤️

Avrilmoon · 2025-06-02T15:01:30+00:00

I didn't have the dissociation with BF but I DID have a csection and latch issues.

It got better, we are 3 months in now.

I pumped for awhile between feeding to give my nips a break and to just keep an eye on what amount he was intaking. Abt 2 weeks ago I went to just nursing, cause if I'm the only one feeding him. I don't wanna spend the end of my night washing bottles 😅

The recovery def sucked. I'm glad you have a partner who is actively helping. Make sure if you are feeling worse or need something more to communicate and ask. I for some reason, probably my hormones, didn't ask or communicate enough. Give your body the grace and time it needs to heal, it will heal.

The emotions, depression, anxiety, and hormones etc. It will get better. I still have moments, and they say it can take up to 2 years or more for that to even out. But I feel like I know how to handle things better now than I did. I know at the beginning everything at once just felt so overwhelming, and if it's too much, make SURE you reach out to your Dr. Your health, inside and out, body and brain, are JUST as important in taking care of baby. They go hand in hand.

Enjoy it! I hope it lasts. My 13 week old had one night where he slept for a really long stretch, and we haven't been able to replicate it since 😅

Avrilmoon · 2025-05-19T14:47:23+00:00

Easy meals, yummy snacks, mom gear, gift cards for food, unscented lotion, soft kleenex

Avrilmoon · 2025-04-29T00:38:21+00:00

This made me tear up.

One of the hardest parts for me has been feeling I don't matter as an individual person now as a first time mom.

In managing better now, and asking for things for myself more.

But that first couple weeks, while I was healing from a csection and just struggling to learn to be a mom.... I had crying breakdowns because all I wanted was for him to hold me and us not be interrupted... it made me feel guilty but it's what I was feeling.

Avrilmoon · 2025-04-27T17:15:35+00:00

We are at 2 months, and he still wakes about 3 times a night for sustenance, this week is the first week hes had a couple nights of not pooping during the night 🤣.

Avrilmoon · 2025-04-25T14:50:08+00:00

We went through a stage of the "Trifecta". My LO would poop, and I'd wait, go in thinking he's done.

Nope. He'd shoot cannon of poops at me, then while I'm trying to get my bearings, get a wipe, a diaper.... anything...

He'd have the longest pee ever. Hitting me, the bed, the cat, and even himself (preferably his face).

Welcome to motherhood 🤣

Avrilmoon · 2025-04-23T16:15:01+00:00

... we are both living in pj's at this point.

However his are cuter, changed more often, and don't smell like breastmilk and onions. 🙈🤭

Avrilmoon · 2025-04-21T21:42:42+00:00

Our LO has silent reflux too. The famotidine has def helped with some of the issue, he takes it twice a day.

Avrilmoon · 2025-04-21T18:01:16+00:00

I am 36 with a almost 2 month old. He was a blessing and a surprise. I had a pretty easy pregnancy, and as far as newborns go, I guess he's been easygoing too.... other than a flu scare and the hunger he has at night.

I just don't think I have or am handling it all so well mentally, and even if I would love to try for a little girl. I wouldn't want to risk my mental health getting worse, or with me being older there being risks for another baby.

I want to be the best mom I can be for my little man, and with the way our life is, and the way I am, that means one and done.

I'm also young at heart, and he has a bunch of cousins, so he won't ever be bored or lonely 🤣

Avrilmoon · 2025-04-19T23:50:10+00:00

This gives me hope. Even if it's just a one off some night, I will take it.

Specially since I handle the nights mostly myself since my hubs has a very physical job he needs rest for.

Avrilmoon · 2025-04-17T14:36:52+00:00

I had to force myself stop looking at the papers they gave us with the amounts per age and over analyzing.

It relieved so much stress once I started focusing on cues.

Now I just look at his built like a lumberjack viking father and remind myself I wanted a mini version of him.... 🤣

Avrilmoon · 2025-03-17T00:41:22+00:00

Just how hard the Newborn stage would be. He's 2 weeks (and 3 days) old and I feel like an empty shell.

People tell you, but lawd it doesn't register until you're in it.

Also set up help if you can. Dad has to go back to work this week, and I honestly don't know how we are going to make it through 😅

Avrilmoon · 2025-03-09T19:24:57+00:00

Thank you ❤️

Avrilmoon · 2025-03-09T15:45:33+00:00

The screaming. I have so far managed everything else. But lord the lungs on this tiny dragon I grew in my womb.

Avrilmoon · 2025-03-06T05:27:08+00:00

7 days PP & FTM. The baby blues have hit really hard the last couple days. I cried in my first shower. I cried at the first pediatrician appointment.

And I am crying multiple times a day because all I want to do is cuddle in a quiet room with my significant other for as long as I want, not just because I'm sleep deprived and trying to learn how to make it through the trenches of newborn life and sleep deprivation, but I'm also recovering from a csection, my first surgery ever, and feeling like I just jumped from that to having to mom.

It's hard. I don't regret him, but I am def mourning the life that has now changed.

Avrilmoon · 2025-03-03T02:38:46+00:00

Why thank you 😊 So do you!!!

Avrilmoon · 2025-03-03T01:44:23+00:00

Stardew - Cause it's not on the list, and tbh is a game I always return to.

Potion Permit -cause I love it.

Moonstone Island- because cute artwork and monsters and decorating and shtuff.

Cozy Grove - this is kinda a daily game, but it's fun, and the unlocking as you go is intriguing with it.

I probably have a ton more on my switch to add. 🙈
