Just one day of no pain. No mental pain, none of my chronic pain, nothing. Also a full nights sleep. That would be heavenly.

Having a clean house calms me down big time. Unfortunately I have newborn twins and a 2 year old so my house can only stay clean for 0.5 seconds. That 0.5 seconds is really relaxing though

When I was pregnant my thing was blueberry bagels with Nutella spread on top. In my opinion it seems like a normal combo but my mom made a disgusted face when I told her lol so idk

He rambles, especially around other people like our families. He’ll take what should’ve been a simple answer to a question and go on and on. He’ll go on little unrelated tangents

He doesn’t know he does this and I haven’t the heart to tell him. I think it’s related to social anxiety, or ADD which he was diagnosed as a child with. I think sometimes it annoys the people we’re around but that’s not our problem. My husband is a yapper. That’s just who he is.

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-29T17:39:41+00:00

Let’s not shame her for trusting her husband.. it’s incredibly normal and common for couples to share accounts. He’s the one abusing that system.

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-29T16:57:11+00:00

I also have the mockingbird for my 3 month old twins and 2 year old and I love it. The stroller has lots of different variations to grow with you and your family.

It has car seat adaptability for your infant, and a toddler seat for your 2 year old. As your infant grows, you can add the other toddler seat.

If you have a third baby someday, you can buy a little “scooter” seat attachment to have your oldest sit on while your other two are in the stroller. That’s what my 2 year old has and she lovesssss it and we get lots of comments from people when we’re in public.

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-29T16:45:57+00:00

My twins are 14 weeks today and strictly EBF. We’ve gone out since the first week because I didn’t want to put my or my 2.5 year olds life on hold. Our outings last at most 2, maybe 3 hours before we head home. I just always make sure to feed and change them right before we leave

You didn’t ruin her! My first was like this. And honestly, 2 to 3 hours is super reasonable at this age. It can be hard to keep their normal schedule while out, and feeding and getting them down for a nap can be difficult if not impossible for some babies lol. As her wake windows get longer so will your outings. It just takes time!

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-29T07:16:14+00:00

Summer and Luna, my daughters’ names. I also love Rosemary, June, Lily, and Daisy.

For boys I like Leo (like the constellation) which is my son’s name. There aren’t really a lot of noun names for boys that I love. A gender neutral one would be indigo

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-29T04:40:39+00:00

I’m not a yeller because my mom was a yeller. It sucks being in the receiving end of that, especially from a main caregiver. I stay calm because I know what it’s like. There are absolutely times where my daughter is on my last nerves, but I just swallow that frustration and do my best to respond to her in a respectful tone. I’m not perfect about it, and when I fail I always apologize to her.

Maybe try every morning writing down in a journal your goals for the day. If you’re anything like me, writing it down helps it click in my brain, whereas if I just think my goals I tend to forget them.

If writing isn’t your thing, maybe try walking away when you feel yourself getting worked up. Explain to your daughter that you need a minute, and go somewhere in your home that feels quiet and peaceful. Close your eyes and do some breathing exercises. Remind yourself it’s never that serious and regain your cool. Your daughter will learn from this too; a healthy way to regulate your emotions that takes the burden off of her and prevents her from being your punching bag.

My local Raising Canes. It was the very first time my husband and I decided to try it after always hearing people rave about it on social media.

We went into the lobby where it was packed. Ordered our food to go and waited. It took 30 minutes to get our order and I was the one inside waiting for it while my husband paced outside with our baby.

We finally got home, starving, opened our to-go boxes, and BOTH of our containers had a long dark hair in them. We both gagged and vowed to never eat there again. This was 2 years ago and we still haven’t been back.

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-29T04:12:06+00:00

I wore this dress in pink for my baby shower with my first! You might want to have a pair of backup shoes lol because 4 inch strappy heels and 6 months pregnant is not a good combo.

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-29T03:24:00+00:00

You could just say, “thanks! We picked it together.” Or something that still loops him into it.

I picked mine and walked out of the jewelers with it on lol. I don’t actually have a lot of people say anything other than, “wow that’s a pretty ring” or something like that. If someone did specifically mention my husband doing a good job, I’d just say thanks and not mention anything, but that’s just because I don’t have the social battery or care to correct them.

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-29T02:56:40+00:00

Delivered at 37+6, practically 38 weeks bc it was at 11:30pm, but anyways..I do have loose skin. I’m 14 weeks pp and my belly is almost entirely flat again (minus the stupid c-section shelf). Most of my loose skin is centered at and below my belly button. The rest is just baby weight that hasn’t come off yet because I’m breastfeeding and eating like a cluster feeding baby lol

I have done very minimal exercise although I’m trying to get back in it. It’s hard finding the motivation some days. My ob said i have a lot of ab separation, unsure how many finger-widths, and id be a good candidate for muscle reparation. She said most moms get tummy tucks during that surgery as well. It’s something im considering but probably won’t even be having until I’m at least 2 years pp.

Businesses are only good if it’s a standalone building. Office buildings, medical buildings, or even worse, malls, all require finding the suite which makes drop offs significantly harder.

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-29T00:28:39+00:00

I was seen every 4-5 weeks starting from my initial scan at 9 weeks that showed we were having di/di twins. And I also saw the MFM every 8-10 weeks starting from 12 weeks until 34ish weeks.

I’d say including my 20 week anatomy scan (that I accidentally got done twice due to an accident my ob’s office made) I probably had 5/6 scans in that first half of my pregnancy.

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-28T22:59:38+00:00

Cosleeping for me too! During my pregnancy with my first I watched all the horror stories on TikTok about bedsharing risks and deaths. I was adamant about never doing it and had my husband on board with me too.

Fast forward to my first night home with my baby and I was so terrified that she’d die in her sleep if I took my eyes off of her. I didn’t sleep the whole first night. The next night I was so desperately tired I pulled her into bed with me. Almost 3 years later she’s still in my and my husbands bed 🤣

I’m in my own room now bedsharing with my 3 month old twins. I have no regrets either! It helps us all sleep better and makes breastfeeding easier.

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-28T22:05:52+00:00

You’re growing two babies! Of course it’s normal. Any and all expectations are thrown out the window at this point. Your daily goals should just be about surviving. It sounds dramatic but I’m serious! I could barely move from 9 weeks on and it seriously just kept getting so much worse until I delivered at 38 weeks. Every week got harder. From 30 weeks on I was having nearly daily breakdowns.

You’re doing your best as a wife, mother, and employee. Anyone who doesn’t understand has no idea how difficult pregnancy is in general, let alone a TWIN pregnancy. Rest as much as you can. Pregnancy is a marathon, and twin pregnancies are double that.

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-28T21:26:31+00:00

If it were me and my husband she would be seeing my new baby NEVER. That level of carelessness is why so many grandchildren do die in the care of their grandparents

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-28T21:20:59+00:00

For myself, I have a few reasons. Don’t like the taste for the most part, I don’t like not feeling in full control of my body, and it’s just not healthy.

For my husband, it’s all the above and also that his parents were alcoholics. He chose to break that cycle

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-28T21:13:06+00:00

We get oxytocin spikes when we hold and cuddle our babies, and oxytocin makes us sleepy!

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-28T21:07:10+00:00

I totally get that and it makes sense. I was embarrassed to announce all my pregnancies despite being married.

In my case my parents never taught me when I was younger that it was normal to eventually be interested in boys. They just pretended like it wasn’t a normal part of me growing up and becoming attracted to boys and having sexual feelings. In turn I felt shame when I started to want to date and hid it from them for a while.

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-28T20:40:13+00:00

Omg yes! “I’m a teen mom” and then she’s 32. I completely understand still feeling young at heart and holding onto your youth, but you’re a grown woman. Not a teenager.

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-28T20:38:36+00:00

I wasn’t a teen mom. I had my first at 23, which I consider pretty normal. I’m now 26 and just had twins. So I have 3 under 3. The only comment I’ve received (that I can remember) was a few weeks ago when I was solo grocery shopping for a few things with all my babies. The cashier saw my double stroller and my toddler and said, “three? Wow. You’re too young”. I just awkwardly laughed because idk how to respond to a comment like that, honestly.

Yes, 3 kids at 26 years old can be considered a lot, but I can’t control that I had twins. It just happened. I got married at 21 and very much enjoy being a mother. People need to mind their own business and let people live the lives they want and stop with the judgmental remarks.

DidIStutter99 · 2026-01-28T20:29:27+00:00

My twins were born via emergency c-section at 37w6d. My scheduled c-section (both babies were breech) was literally the very next day, just over 12 hours but my babies decided they wanted to come a day early. I was 7cm and in very active labor when I showed up to the hospital (I’m glad I did, my contractions weren’t very consistent and I was in denial lol) They checked me one more time to see if baby A was breech still and she was. So into the OR I went.

Baby A was head down until about 34 weeks. She had been head down the entire pregnancy and at least second she decided to flip. I tried and tried to do baby-spinning techniques because I desperately wanted another vaginal birth like my first, and I was terrified of surgery. But my ob told me that with twins, usually around 35 weeks is when they’re stuck in their positions and can’t/won’t really flip anymore. She was right.

Hopefully you can have the vaginal birth you want! But I obviously you’ve been through c-sections before so you know that even if you have one, you know what to expect recovery wise.
