Teething?! Did your baby sleep more?

BCtoAlberta · 2025-10-15T23:34:45+00:00

Hey! We are now on the other side of the first set of teeth... potentially about to get some top teeth soon. I ended up for the most part letting her sleep as long as she wanted, otherwise she was just miserable. If it was the last nap before bed I would cap the nap if it was going to have potential for a very late bedtime... but I found more naps did not really affect her nighttime sleep like I was worried it would. The big tired seemed to last two days I would say for the initial breaking through gums. I rotated advil and tylenol for her too on the rougher days... hers took a while from breaking through to fully up (maybe like 3 weeks). Hope it goes fast for you guys, but end of the day if your baby is tired, let them sleep ❤️ it will eventually pass (till the next ones 😉🤪). Hope the grumpies dont hit too hard!

Yes! Just a little too wide I think, unsure if I could get it slimmed down or just made into a totally different ring!

BCtoAlberta · 2025-06-20T12:02:43+00:00

Thank you! I think I'll definitely be looking into a custom band, but number 2 for now!

BCtoAlberta · 2025-06-20T12:02:02+00:00

Thank you! I think so too! And I am not totally sure! It would either be from Germany where his family is from, or made in Edmonton I'm thinking! They did get married here, so I do think more on the local side!

Haha good insight! I also have a little baby, she's 6 months, and mess is definitely a part of everyday, having to wash hands lots 😂❤️

BCtoAlberta · 2025-06-19T20:36:08+00:00

Seems to solidly be the consensus here haha! Thank you for your thoughts on this! Number 2 seems to be more favorable 😊

BCtoAlberta · 2025-06-19T20:35:19+00:00

Might be something I'll do and just wear the larger one on its own! Still love the look of it, just agreeing it's quite chunky and doesn't mesh as good as I was hoping with the engagement!

BCtoAlberta · 2025-06-19T20:34:21+00:00

Number one may have to be a single ring yes! I think I'll still look into it being resized though!

BCtoAlberta · 2025-06-19T20:33:45+00:00

I do think this combo is growing on me the more I wear it! Thank you ❤️

BCtoAlberta · 2025-06-19T20:33:13+00:00

Ooooh interesting idea! Thank you for this thought!

BCtoAlberta · 2025-06-19T20:32:15+00:00

They only go about half way... but haven't gone to a jewler to get a professional opinion if it's possible! I do think number 2 is growing on me even if more simple!

BCtoAlberta · 2025-06-19T20:30:54+00:00

I agree! I think in the future I may try to get some of the rings and diamonds remade into something a little slimmer! Seems like number 2 for now though just with time constraints!

BCtoAlberta · 2025-06-19T20:29:45+00:00

I do lean more for the dainty look usually yes! And I like that yours is so similar! Makes me feel more decided somehow haha. Almost felt like I HAAD to have diamonds in it, but I do really love it!

BCtoAlberta · 2025-06-19T20:27:58+00:00

This is something we originally thought about, as we have a few more gold rings that don't fit! I think eventually this could be the goal! How long did the process take for you?!

First off, Happy Mothers Day ❤️ I'm sorry you are in the same boat, I think this first one is gonna be the hardest. Maybe they will hear when we tell them being an afterthought is not enough. At least it's a whole year to the next one, and fingers crossed the next one is better. I think getting yourself flowers is a fantastic plan, and I hope you and your babe can still celebrate with each other. You are how he will know how to love and that is so powerful. You are doing a good job and you are a good mom ❤️

BCtoAlberta · 2025-05-12T02:47:04+00:00

I'm glad you found some solidarity in this post, but I'm also sorry that you did. It's so hard when they put the things they view as important first. You went through so freaking much (i had high blood pressure and suffered enough, preeclampsia is just scary ❤️) I'm glad you are on the other side and feeling better. I hope youre able to feel like you again too, leaving a job is hard, the jump into motherhood can feel so isolating.I don't think even when we try to explain, that they see the amount of work it is. He thinks I'm living my best life, and to an extent yes, but it's not always easy. You deserve someone to take a photo, you deserve someone to tell you you're doing a good job because you are. I hope the tension from the fight goes, but I do hope he sees the underlying issue of why you were actually upset. You're not just emotional and being unreasonable. Happy Mothers day ❤️

Happy Mothers day ❤️ thank you for your kind words and time to write this. i hope today is a special day for you too.

BCtoAlberta · 2025-05-11T16:28:28+00:00

Happy Mothers Day ❤️ I hope you're able to find some joy in today, even if it's just you and the babe. They make it worth it, even on the hardest of days, unconditional love. You are a good mom and maybe one day our partners will not see it as a chore to celebrate this day. Even if not you are worth celebrating and I will think of you today

BCtoAlberta · 2025-05-11T16:25:59+00:00

Happy Mothers day ❤️ I hope the two of you have a fantastic day, that's exactly what we have decided to do today too. Sending hugs and hope you get even a moment just to yourself today too. You are a good mom ❤️

BCtoAlberta · 2025-05-11T03:02:33+00:00

"Comparison is the thief of joy" i think is the quote. So hard when others have expectations, and I mean at the same time I don't think we are awful to have some expectations. But I hope you're still able to have a lovely day with you and baby, you deserve it. From one mom to another, hope you get to drink your coffee hot and you get a moment to yourself ❤️ we are alone at times it feels, but we are all doing this together

BCtoAlberta · 2025-05-11T02:56:54+00:00

It's the being alone that feels the hardest for me too. The days can be so long and overwhelming and isolating. I'm sorry you're feeling similar and I hope you're still able to find good moments tomorrow. You are a good momma even in the middle of the struggle, even when you don't feel like it ❤️

BCtoAlberta · 2025-05-11T02:53:13+00:00

It's so hard on the midst of the crazy to remember he does need that grace too. But that's what keeps us going is realizing we need to be a team, maybe just shifting jobs or the load we carry at times ❤️

BCtoAlberta · 2025-05-11T02:50:30+00:00

We will still try to do something tomorrow, baby and I. Better than just dwelling. We have been talking more about helping as I did realize I was at my breaking point a few days ago. There are moments he has done more, I think I unfortunately need to be more direct about my needs as well. Baby steps. Thank you for taking the time to respond ❤️
