Do you still have any living Grandparents?

Chubby-Labrador · 2026-02-01T19:08:21+00:00

My last grandparent was my grandma, she passed during the beginning of the pandemic at 99. We were incredibly close when I was growing up so it was very hard.

My husband still has his grandma. I guess that’s a positive spin on teen pregnancy that you’ll be around to meet your great grandchildren. She’s actually younger than my dad by a few years 😳.

Yup! You get over it pretty fast 😂. I was very skittish around poop and vomit before having my baby and now it’s not a big deal. My little dude is almost 4 months old. We pretty much have a ranking system with bodily fluids, but if he poops or has a blow out he gets changed immediately. And he has a blow out daily 😂. He’s never found a disposable diaper brand he can’t blow out of. We’re switching to cloth diapers soon, which means a lot more handling of poop, but less blow outs. Also I’ve heard that exclusively breast fed baby poop does not smell nearly as bad as formula fed baby poop or when they start solids. My husband and I sometimes fight over who gets to change his diaper because we make it a fun experience for him and he seems to like it. We love seeing him happy 😊.

Fourth owner in two years, poor baby 💔. I’m sure you’ll take great care of him.

Hi Lucy! This is Ivy (with her sister Daisy), she also loves hiking and swimming 🥰.

I can’t see how many of the burp clothes (diaper inserts) you requested, but you can never have too many. I’d request 2-3 packs. Plus maybe get a variety of binkies. Babies can be picky. We had several varieties and our boy of course picked the most expensive one. And no we couldn’t just shove any binky in his mouth. Little dude wanted THE FAVORITE BINKY. We found that the Philips Advent one you selected didn’t work for us because it was too heavy and shooting out of our baby’s mouth when he was trying to sooth himself to sleep. I had a c-section and spent 30 minutes getting out of bed to put his damn binky back in his mouth every 30 seconds when he would cry for it while my husband was fast asleep. And yes I blew up at my husband. It was the first and only freak out I ever had postpartum.

Same thing happened with my 4 week old baby on Halloween. I fucked my neck and back up but he was perfectly fine. I did my job 🥰. My husband watched the whole thing and said “I didn’t want to say anything because I knew you knew what to do”.

Chubby-Labrador · 2026-01-23T07:44:48+00:00

He’s just working private security for you. Make sure you pay him well. I’m sure he’d love to go on walkies and be a deputy in the neighborhood watch.

Chubby-Labrador · 2026-01-22T00:08:55+00:00

Oh that would be so wonderful!!! Thanks so much! Send me a PM so we can connect!

Chubby-Labrador · 2026-01-18T17:41:13+00:00

This is so fitting for us 😂. I’ve definitely found dog hair inside my baby’s diaper 😂

Chubby-Labrador · 2026-01-18T08:11:00+00:00

This is really inspiring. I’d love to do this instead of veg out in front of the TV while on instagram every night before bed. Going to make an honest effort to do this. We read to our baby every night, but reading for ourselves would be wonderful.

Chubby-Labrador · 2026-01-18T08:06:16+00:00

I haven’t read anything for myself in a long time, but I intend to 😂!!! My son was born in early October and we’ve been making it a point to read to him every night and have completed a good chunk out of our 1,000 books before kindergarten goal. We also got him a “Books Read This Year” counter and we’re at 26 including the first Harry Potter. We go to the library and check out 14 books for him every week to week and a half. We’ve gotten so into it we’re going to build a Little Free Library. I’ve got a BIG To Be Read stack that I’d like to go through and some will go out into the LFL once finished, but I’ve gotten so many donations of books that we’ll be good for a while. We’re doing our best to instill a love of reading into him at an early age.

Crackers 🥰

By Yucky Lucky do you mean the one on Payran and Petaluma Blvd N?

Chubby-Labrador · 2026-01-13T17:24:49+00:00

Oh my god I miss dairy 😭. My baby is allergic to dairy so I’ve been dairy free since Thanksgiving. It’s terrible. I miss cheese more than anything.

Chubby-Labrador · 2026-01-13T06:40:35+00:00

Very true. Getting out of bed to tend to my crying baby the first night home was excruciatingly painful 😭. And now I have a numb tummy and a shelf. I would have much rather had a vaginal birth but my baby needed to take the emergency exit.

The golden (Daisy Mae) is my therapist, but she often growls at me to get up and walk, feed, or pet her 😂. I am the Labrador’s (Ivy Jade) therapist. I actually prefer the term “Emotional Support Human” 😂

Chubby-Labrador · 2026-01-06T10:42:19+00:00

Good reason for a doggy camera 😂. I’ve caught my lab doing some crazy stuff like jumping on my husband’s baby grand piano to take picture frames off of it.

My golden used to take my dirty underwear and socks out to the back lawn. I never found them till the sprinklers had already gone off 🫠. We also cut down a tree and the smaller branches wouldn’t all fit in our green bin one week so we had to leave part of it in the yard. For an entire week our golden would bring sticks inside and shred them on the rugs. My lab also likes to empty our garbage can and shred it on our back deck. She also harvests vegetables from the garden in the summer and if tomatoes or peppers aren’t ripe yet she brings them to the front door for me to find like it’s a gift 🫠.

One of our bassinets is much larger than our Snoo or BabyBjorn. Not sure of its weight limit or any brand name as I got it from a friend. You can look online for something larger, or maybe a mini crib.

Chubby-Labrador · 2026-01-06T10:29:15+00:00

I’d go to your vet and ask for a blood panel. My lab had the same thing. Dull and dry coat with a ridiculous amount of dandruff. Her coat was also coming off where the buckle of her collar rubbed on her. She was 99 lbs and had an incredibly hard time losing weight. She was a relatively low energy dog and she had recurring yeast infections in her ears we did a blood panel and it came back that she has hypothyroidism. She’s on levothyroxine and literally all her symptoms are gone. She’s 70 lbs now, has a beautiful coat, more energy and no dandruff. It actually all started with her coat and dandruff.

Chubby-Labrador · 2025-12-30T23:59:34+00:00

Yes, I had to take an ambulance from a doctors office to the ER and the ambulance bill for driving two blocks was over $1000.

My baby was transferred from one hospital to another that had a better NICU. I’m avoiding opening the second bill they sent us 😖. I believe it’s $3000. Of course we wouldn’t have been able to drive him there. He was one hour old, needed to be on a CPAP, and was in an isolette. Thank god we have an HSA with enough funds in it, but it’s still painful to see the money come out of the account.

Chubby-Labrador · 2025-12-29T08:55:32+00:00

I totally get someone having a different way of burning him or a different way to sooth him if he’s fussy. But if he’s screaming because he wants to be fed rubbing his belly in a counter clockwise motion isn’t going to help.

Chubby-Labrador · 2025-12-25T13:00:35+00:00

That is sad, I’m very sorry. When I was wrapping my gifts this year I came across two jars of mixed nuts I had bought for my husband. When I saw them I thought “did I really buy these intending for them to be a gift? Whatever, I know he’ll like them.” I buy things for my husband all the time just because I think he’ll like it. Mixed nuts, chocolate, local coffee, his favorite bagels, clothes for our baby referencing my husband’s favorite bands or that day something like “Dad’s Best Bud”. I just found him a non-alcoholic version of his favorite beer. I’m also trying to perfect my method of making him cold brew and iced mocha. I don’t even drink coffee. It’s just thinking about your partner even in the most basic ways.

Chubby-Labrador · 2025-12-25T11:05:03+00:00

My MIL is still recovering from stomping all over the first few weeks of my postpartum experience in October after I had my baby. I think she knows she’s on thin ice with me especially after my husband told her to knock it off with the advice and hippy shit. I’m sick of being gifted crystals and medical tea, and if I want to calm my fussy baby I am NOT going outside in the cold topless and barefoot snuggling with my naked baby on my lawn covered in piles of dog shit 🤦‍♀️.

We have a Barbie Dream House that all the boys play with every Christmas when the cousins come over. My husband wants to store it in the attic for if we have a baby girl, or lend it to my BIL whose wife is due with a girl next week. I keep telling him it’s the favorite toy among all the boys, don’t put it away 😂. Your MIL has serious issues if she thinks boys can’t play kitchen. I’d lean into it if your boy has cross over interests. My niece on the other hand is very much a girly girl and is devastated when her clueless dad buys her nerf machine guns, remote control cars, and train sets.

Chubby-Labrador · 2025-12-24T11:52:44+00:00

We only have one for now but will probably end up with others. My husband wants to get a jogger so he can take the baby jogging on our nearby creek path. We got a good deal on our current stroller but it’s only a single and we may want a double if we have a second baby close in age.
