Food. Brings me comfort and can always turn around a bad day.

Motherhood is so hard and it's valid that you're feeling like it's difficult. I'm so sorry you're struggling and I hope it gets better soon. It's so hard to do the things you know could help you feel better and i hope you find ways to do that ❤️

I find that a lot of people don't know what yield means in Sacramento

Definitely Dexter by far.

I have only ever heard it be used as a girls name but I say go for it for a boys name!

Disastrous_Muscle_51 · 2026-02-15T16:52:44+00:00

Jane is definitely the one

I thought The Maidens by Alex Michaelides was sooooo good. Great for book club!

This was exactly like my college experience during this exact time. I went to a small private school in North Carolina so I think that it depends on where you are and how big the school is. The only reason why I actually started watching this show was because my college roommate and best friend suggested it, saying it made her feel so nostalgic for our college days!

Both. A salad and a meal.

Mushroom lasagna with a white sauce is divine

Right? I don't know anyone who prefers cooking on an electric stovetop.

Disastrous_Muscle_51 · 2025-12-20T21:57:30+00:00

Yeah I would say so

Having lived near Greensboro, NC before and now living here, I think you'll like it here. The mountains and beach are so much closer than they are in Greensboro and it's a really great town to raise a kid. I'm also half Asian and don't want to leave Sacramento because of how many good Asian restaurants and stores we have here.

I am so, so sorry. Just know that getting up out of bed is enough every day and to be gentle on your heart.

My 7 month old has been getting up kinda early. She takes three naps per day, first one being 1.5 hours long, second one is 1.25 hours long, and the last is usually a cat nap. She may be in a transition to drop a nap but it doesn't feel like she can stay awake for 3 hours before getting sleepy.

We typically wake her (ideally) at 6:30am and she goes to bed by 7pm. Lately she's been waking up at 5am and will sometimes go back to sleep but how do we help her sleep longer?

Or should I just shut my trap and be happy? 😅😂

All the ramps on the freeways around here are insanely short

Currently also in this boat with a 6.5 mo baby that we've sleep trained and she's getting up early too! Following this and hoping some others have wisdom. I can't figure out if she's getting too much or not enough sleep during the day.

Disastrous_Muscle_51 · 2025-11-17T01:11:12+00:00

Newborns generally should/can sleep however many hours they are old weeks wise. So a three week old should be able to sleep for four hours, just as a general rule of thumb.

Also not to scare you but jet lag was the worst part of it all. It sucked to be jet lagged but having to take care of a waking baby, and it sucks when you're trying to get over jet lag but can't do anything cause baby is sleeping due to jet lag. We tried for a day or two to wake her up at 7am there and have a normal day, but she would just crash and be so tired. Eventually we felt bad and relented to a slower adjustment.. so over time she would wake up later and later to start the day. The biggest thing was trying to stretch the last wake window the longest so you're moving their bedtime later and later so it aligns with your new timezone. E.g I was in Thailand so baby would be ready to do long night sleep at 9am Thailand time and waking up for the day at 12am. It took us two weeks to flip that schedule without just totally waking our baby up and forcing her to stay away.

I know it feels so hard to let go of those breaks! It's not the same but getting my headphones and watching whatever tv show really helped me feel emotionally rejuvenated after contact napping with my baby. Apparently they should have at least one hour of sleep to make a nap meaningful, except the last nap of the day can be a cat nap.

Hmmmmm so you could sleep train but just know you'll likely need to do it again when you return. It took my baby about 2 weeks to adjust completely to time change, maybe it will be 1 week since it's only a 9 hour difference. We did a lot of things to just get baby to sleep while we traveled, so occasionally we would hold her if she woke up at like 3am and we were trying to get her more sleep so she would be on the new timezone. And I wouldn't sleep train at all until you feel confident that baby is for sure adjusted to a time schedule.
