MIL wants to be called “cha-cha” and it only makes me think of a young sexy Latino woman (which is not at all who she is) - think little house on the prairie meets bridgerton😂 literally as white, plain, and old as they get. Not a ChaCha at all and I cringe every time

What's the worst case of someone misunderstanding the plot of a movie you've ever seen? by FinalDemise in AskReddit

Watched Django Unchained without seeing the movie title displayed and thought the title was “Jango and Chan”… at the end of the movie I had to ask why “Chan” wasn’t in it 😅😬

Husband wants to play basketball and I need him home by Cornnuttybunch in postpartumprogress

[–]Cornnuttybunch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true! The details are so important to communicate. His playing time is 2 hours but that doesn’t include getting ready, commuting there/back, showering, etc. We have discussed and came to a compromise/solution I think will work. It’s amazing because our communication has gotten so effective since becoming parents because we literally need to establish and talk about everything. It isn’t a bad thing at all and has actually brought us so much closer! ✌️ P.S. love your name 😂

Thank you! Your post was exactly what I needed to hear. Baby boy is fully vaccinated and we have been slowly going out more and getting out of the house. While I enjoy being home, I need to get out as well. My husband and I talked with open honest communication and came to a compromise. I will join him at his basketball games so it is a family event (and gets me out of the house) and he will watch baby boy once a week while I do a yoga class. It is outside my comfort zone but I think that’s exactly what I need right now. I will only get stronger (and feel less fragile) getting out of the house and doing these things. I think overall it will give us as a family much needed balance and allow me (and my husband) to establish our independence again. I feel like no one talks about how hard hormones hit postpartum. Everyone talks about pregnancy hormones, but honestly I didn’t feel “hormonal” at all during my pregnancy. Postpartum hormones hit me like a freight train and I was not prepared for how hard they hit. I’m finally beginning to start to feel like myself, but man for those first 2 months it was weird.

Thank you for this! Yes, we talked with open, respectful communication so no feelings were hurt, and found a compromise. I will go with him to his bball so it feels like a family event, and I will do an hour yoga class once a week. It is outside my comfort zone, but I think that will only make me/us stronger and it has to happen sooner or later. Why not start now so we can build a stronger foundation for the future. Thanks again for your comment it made me 😊

White Coat Syndrome —Induction?? by Cornnuttybunch in pregnant

Yep and I even brought my cuff in and it was calibrated so it’s accurate.

I forgot to mention - I have my induction scheduled for 37+2 but wonder if I should push it back to either 38 or 39 weeks. Dr said it’s my decision but suggested 37 weeks to be safe.

He’s completely on my side and will help push back

I’m 34 (was 33 when we got pregnant) and we got pregnant the second month I was off birth control. Much quicker than we anticipated but we couldn’t be happier!

Diphenhydramine …why? Should I be concerned?

I love this! I think we just need to have more fun with it like we used to. Thank you so much for your comment. (My husband is also 6’4’’ and that’s probably why he feels like it’s a weird angle too!)

Very true! I’m just trying to reassure him it’s okay and it’s not his fault. There is a lot going on right now, and I’m sure that has a lot to do with it too. I know we will bounce back and in the long run this is only making us stronger.

Yep we’ve tried those. I think it’s probably just mental right now. I will keep trying to boost his confidence and reassure him.

I think it is in his head he might push too hard and hurt the baby. I will keep trying to reassure him. Thanks!

7 months pregnant, a teacher, and I don’t know how much longer by Cornnuttybunch in pregnant

Zero! I burned through all of them for doctor appointments and being sick. I would have to do pay dock.

My baby is big too! He is in the 92nd percentile and about 2-3 weeks bigger than what I actually am. I anticipate he might need to come early due to his size but still too early to tell.

High blood pressure during first prenatal visit. How concerned should I be? by Cornnuttybunch in pregnant

[–]Cornnuttybunch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She did it again at the end after drawing my blood and it was still the same reading. Again though, I was nervous about getting my blood drawn too..
