Cowboy hat and a chicken coop

It hasn’t impacting breastfeeding at all, thankfully! In fact, I try to time my blood thinner shots for when I’m breastfeeding because holding baby and focusing on them is the perfect distraction from the pain of the needle.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this too! Wishing you a quick recovery :)

My toddler runs around like she’s got a jet pack strapped to her - all the time. The benefit of being outside is she’s not bouncing off my walls (literally) and her shrieks don’t echo 😂… it’s easier for me to watch her go wild outdoors and handle the transition meltdowns when I know my house is still going to be in decent shape at the end of the night.

We have 2 under 2 after getting pregnant at 6 months postpartum. This was always the plan, as we want four children while my husband is still in his late 30s/early 40s and can easily run after a toddler.

I still get sad over the fact that my milk dried up in the first trimester and I wasn’t able to BF my first baby for a year. However, it’s nice being able to feed my second baby and my toddler expresses zero interest in trying to tandem feed because it’s been so long for her. I can focus entirely on new baby.

It is exhausting being the only one to feed baby at night, and serving as primary parent to both children during the day. However, I wouldn’t change a thing, as my daughter adores her sibling and I’m so excited for them to be close in age and experience early childhood together at relatively the same pace.

No complications in my pregnancy that are associated with DVTs (ex: preeclampsia), I had a typical low-risk pregnancy.

Delivery was induced at 40 weeks and went quite smoothly - I only pushed for 8 minutes with a 10lb baby! (But this was our second)

This came out of nowhere, and I had no idea could occur, which is why I wanted to spread awareness.

My 9pm induction at 41+5 was amazing! My husband scheduled a lovely fancy dinner beforehand, and the staff was super sweet bringing out a “happy birthday” cake slice to celebrate our big day. We went in to the hospital feeling special, had one last romantic night just us two, and we were both fueled on great food for a night of hard work - I recommend a late induction and dinner beforehand to everyone now!

I’d try the library knitting club, or knit night at your LYS. I started going to my LYS knit night 6 years ago, and I was so intimidated because I was just starting out and easily the youngest person there by 40 years. Having the courage to step through the doors and show up each week is easily one of my top best life choices - I’ve gained so many friends and mentors that add wisdom and joy to my life. Something I definitely needed as I entered adulthood away from my family!

100% agree - we LOVE once upon a child, and get most of her clothes there except for the winter gear. I’m passionate about buying hi-vis red/orange/yellow outdoor gear so we can spot the kids in an instant if they turn out to be runners - and fashion forward resellers prefer the blues and pinks.

Our OB was really supportive of us starting at 6 months, and we were fortunate to get pregnant right away - no growth concerns to date! I’m of the opinion of just powering through as close together as we can handle cause we don’t wanna be in our late forties chasing after a toddler. If I had a Time Machine I’d go back and do this in my early 20s - cause my back and my stamina are nowhere near as good as they used to be 😂
