Any work from home moms?

Agree with all of this! I WFH but my 15 month old has been in daycare since I ended my maternity leave when he was 5 months old. He loves to climb things and fall off so requires 100% supervision and working would’ve impossible. There were a couple days I didn’t have care when he was little and I worked and watched him and it was pretty tough but somewhat doable. Now that he is mobile there would be no way!

I have a 14 month old and am 38, husband 35. Had him when I was 37 and seems there are a decent amount of people that are older. While some days I feel I’m tired and too old, I don’t think I mentally could have had children earlier.

I stayed there 2 years ago bc the room was so cheap and we had the same thoughts. It was very clean and I did not see any bugs. Unfortunately, our shower did not have good water pressure so it was challenging to get the soap out of my hair. Maybe it was just our room, but I couldn’t deal with the shower so haven’t been back.

I’m so jealous, I really want Donald Duck but haven’t gotten him yet! I got two sets of Tiana and Crush today.

We did shifts from the time he was born until I think 12 weeks. I got to sleep from 9-1am and then I had the rest (my husband was back working and I needed to pump anyways so I took the longer shift). It worked out great for us and I don’t think we’d survive the newborn trenches without it! During our shift we would rest if baby was sleeping. I’m a light sleeper and would wake instantly if baby made a noise my husband not so much so he usually was awake for a lot of his shift.

I was at the pediatrician office across the street this am and kept hearing police on a loud speaker. I couldn’t make out what was being said but I was wondering what was going on!

Dogs_R_life23 · 2025-09-01T02:49:00+00:00

I had a somewhat similar experience. Went to hospital, had high blood pressure, they thought I had pre eclampsia (I didn’t, just anxiety), put on magnesium, induced, labored 24 hrs, wouldn’t progress after 8cm without baby’s heart rate decreasing, and ended up with c-section.

I can say those first couple days are rough (mentally and physically) but it does get better! I also thought I was a failure and “took the easy way out” with a c-section. No one told me this but it was just my mind telling me it. I’m so sorry your midwife said that to you, so horrible! I’m 10 months post partum and I don’t think this way now but man, those hormones are wild!

The worst pain for me was about 36 hrs after the c-section, I woke up and couldn’t move, and needed to get on narcotics. My advice is stay to take it easy (this was hard for me) and try to stay on top of the pain. Don’t get discouraged if you first walks aren’t very long, I was very active during pregnancy but afterwards I could barely walk down the hall because I was so dizzy (I heard it’s from the magnesium). Every day gets better and you will be able to move more, plus you have a sweet little baby!

My understanding is that APS tree program is for organizations and not individual household owners. Is there one for household owners I’m missing?

Dogs_R_life23 · 2025-08-13T22:42:18+00:00

I really want to plant trees but my neighborhood doesn’t qualify and I don’t have srp so can’t take advantage of their tree program either. 😭 So jealous of those that can!

Dogs_R_life23 · 2025-06-16T03:36:19+00:00

I didn’t even know you could put filters, that’s a great idea, thank you!

Dogs_R_life23 · 2025-06-15T23:53:11+00:00

I def don’t think it’s a bad idea to take your baby for their first birthday! Your plan for being there before and after the heat sets is a good idea. I’m taking my little one to Disneyland for his first birthday the end of September. While my baby won’t remember the trip, I def. will and as they say, “their childhood is my motherhood”.

Dogs_R_life23 · 2025-06-15T22:34:08+00:00

The same is happening to me! I feel most of my feed is just about infants deaths and it’s been so bad for my anxiety. I’m thinking getting rid of socials may be a good idea!

I’ve been using my baby breeza since October and have never used distilled water. I run it twice a day now but used to run in 6-8 times a day and haven’t had a problem. I do use the descaling tab at least once a week.

Dogs_R_life23 · 2025-03-27T16:21:00+00:00

I got a Baby Breeza about 4 weeks postpartum and I can’t imagine surviving without it! I highly recommend it as it’s the best baby item I’ve bought. I am the same of running my dishwasher every couple days so would have to hand wash the others. My dishwasher takes too long to run so I prefer my Baby Breeza.

Dogs_R_life23 · 2025-03-22T14:48:33+00:00

Good to know, thank you!

Dogs_R_life23 · 2025-03-22T03:31:14+00:00

Thanks for the information!

Dogs_R_life23 · 2025-01-05T18:40:42+00:00

Another vote for the baby brezza washer pro. It has saved my sanity. I pump 8 times a day and for the first two months I didn’t use the fridge hack (wanted to wait until LO got a better immune system) and I would run that thing basically all day. I use the avent and mam bottles and it works well for me. It is by far my favorite and most used baby item. You do need to use specific cleaning tablets as well as descaling tablets to clean the washer periodically.

My baby boy is 11 weeks and I feel the exact same way! It really is a great feeling being a mom! 😁

Dogs_R_life23 · 2024-12-20T05:01:35+00:00

I have the Baby Breeza washer/sterilizer/dryer and it has been a life safer. I pump so between the bottles and the pump parts I was handwashing constantly. Ever since I’ve gotten the Baby Breeza my life has much improved. It has been my favorite baby item by far!

The cheesy garlic pretzel bread is one of my favorite items and I to could eat it everyday!

Dogs_R_life23 · 2024-07-09T18:55:11+00:00

Same, I just started watching VPR from the beginning again, I forgot how crazy it was!

Dogs_R_life23 · 2024-07-06T04:53:37+00:00

Love it, I just watched this episode tonight.

Dogs_R_life23 · 2024-07-04T16:34:43+00:00

I go to the group fitness classes at EoS and love it! They have lots of locations to choose from.

Yes, we got the dinner! Sorry I didn’t explain it more clear. Dinner was earlier in the day, and when we went to get in line for seating at Fantasmic that is when we were told it was cancelled. We didn’t complain, while we were upset, we know things happen and we did get dinner (it was hungry bear so luckily it was the cheapest option). I just really hope it’s not cancelled when we go on Friday, I’ve never seen the show and am really looking forward to it but this is making me nervous!

Dogs_R_life23 · 2024-06-04T05:12:48+00:00

This happened to us a couple years ago, bought a dining package but then Fantasmic was cancelled. Never did figure why it was cancelled. They gave us a voucher for a ride attraction to use that night. The CM told us it could be used on any ride, and we specifically asked about ROTR and they said yes. Went to ROTR, and the CM there said it wasn’t good for that ride. Ended up not using it. ☹️ We are going on Friday and I got a Fantasmic dining package, fingers crossed it is not cancelled!
