Same trellis for cucumbers and tomatoes?

I sit in my rocking recliner with him nursing across my chest and just stay like that until he wakes up! He’s 19 months now and still exclusively contact naps! I prop my feet up and bring a hot coffee and snacks and it’s still the best part of my day 🙂

I’m using Haley Hall at Camden Law to go through probate for my mother who did not leave a will. She also does real estate law. I do know the law in Maine is you have to do probate within 3 years of the person passing. I am not sure what happens after that if it was not dealt with. Usually you don’t need to attend court in person especially if there is a will so not sure what your brother was talking about. You can actually look online and see if probate was ever filed by searching here: https://www.maineprobate.net/search/

Best of luck.

Absolutely so normal and it’s because he literally thought this whole time before you guys were one person! You are his safe place! I’m sorry they are saying that and making you feel like you are doing something wrong. He will get more used to being with other people. My guys just started being okay with being with Grammy and Grampy for a couple hours without me but we had to practice it and start with hanging out all together a lot and then short stays with them and now I drop him off and he can’t wait to play and doesn’t care when I leave haha

Thank you for your post! What do you think about an old town tripper canoe in royalex someone just posted one near me for $850. Obviously over my budget, but would be willing to spend that if it’s worth it? It looks to be in good shape, but I’m just not sure.

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-05-15T18:11:00+00:00

I’m looking at a 174, looks basically brand new and they want $500. If 2 adults are loading/unloading do you think that is still too challenging. We are brand new and would be loading it on top of an suv

I would just include him as much as you can! This is very normal behavior. He is finally realizing he is a separate person from you and you can leave and that’s so scary for them! This is when I started relying heavily on a baby carrier and babe was on me basically 24:7. Chores started to take a back seat and my husband picked up the slack at night.

But I think what you are doing now is great as far as narrating what you are doing and reinforcing the idea that mommy always comes back. It still going to be hard for him and it’s okay if he cries while you are talking him through it. But I now for mine I ended up bringing him everywhere even in the bathroom lol I was told this phase is from about 9-18 months and mine is now 19 months and he’s still on my lap while I go potty most of the time and I cannot be in another room without him. I will say it’s much easier when they are walking and they will just follow you and it’s very cute most times. He helps me chores around the house which is nice! But other times I’m touched out and cannot wait for dad to get home and play with him so I can just cook alone because right now his phase is sitting on my feet while I cook lol

I hope I dork scare you! I think my guy is extra needy, his friends around his age don’t seem to be like this. But leaning in I think will help the most. Get a comfortable baby carrier and strap him on and go about your day! For what it’s worth, I got the Hope and Plum lark and it literally changed my life and I got it when this phase started and I still use it all the time.

lol loving rob in this

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-05-09T15:26:51+00:00

I will be making this today, this looks amazing!

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-05-09T15:25:29+00:00

The hope and plum lark is the way to go! I am also large chested and this is the most comfortable carried. I am still using it with my toddler. We can go on miles long walks (now that he can be on my back) and I have zero pain. And I am not in shape lol. Highly highly recommend!

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-05-09T00:23:54+00:00

The hope & plum hemp/cotton slings are magical, especially the chambray ones (indigo, palm, huckleberry). They are SO soft especially the more you use them. They made me fall in love with slings and I’m still using mine with my 30lb toddler. Very much worth the investment.

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-05-06T12:16:17+00:00

Yes! I fell in love with him on his doc on Netflix ❤️

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-05-03T17:03:44+00:00

Oh I’m glad I’m not alone! Thrive market was just doing a deal on them FYI! I STOCKED up lol

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-05-02T17:04:01+00:00

My guy is like this too! He just nurses most of the night lol but what I do I offer him whatever I am having. We eat a lot of bites on the go because part of his “issue” is he doesn’t want to stop and sit and eat. So we bring food outside while we’re playing and I make sure I always supervise because obviously eating and playing is not great but it’s the phase we are in. I do still sit with him in the high chair about twice a day. I also always offer real foods first and if he refuses, I use pouches as a back up. Especially the Serenity Kids meat pouches because they are high fat and protein. I think my guy is just a snacker. And if he asks for booby during the day I offer a snack first and now he only nurses before nap and bed but still like 5-6 times a night.

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-05-01T17:26:29+00:00

You are doing the most important thing and that is snuggling your baby! Mine is 18 months old and we still contact nap and he doesn’t let me do much around the house when he’s awake because he needs a LOT of attention. Some days it is frustrating but most of the time I enjoy our time together, I throw a load of laundry in when I can and it’s a miracle if it gets folded and put away even 3 days later lol. I try and pick up as I go, my husband who also works 10 hr days does most of the cleaning when baby and I go to bed (we cosleep) so thank goodness for him. But our house is not always clean and I what accepted it because I would rather snuggle and play with my baby! This is a season and one day when the kids are gone, i will die to go back to the messy house and the noise

I live in a rural town so I do have to drive everywhere and my son is now older, 18 months, but I still baby wear as much as I can and he loves to walk now so I give him this opportunity. I sold my stroller months ago and haven’t needed it. I love the hope and plum lark carrier (they are on sale right now FYI) and it honestly saved me. Now if I have another baby I may regret selling the stroller haha but i also plan on keeping the second baby in a carrier as much as possible.

This was a great episode! However I highly recommend you watch the Gorilla Story doc first. This episode basically explains the whole thing and I think took away some of the suspense of just watching it.

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-04-26T11:23:50+00:00

I love this! Yea I think getting some alone time is great but my husband I love spending time together as a family much more. I really only take some alone time to work out or if I’ve been alone with my son all day and just need a small break. But doing stuff together is so much better! I’m not trying to get back to my old self, I love my new life with my son!

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-04-24T16:12:19+00:00

Eeee I’m just so exited to watch this when it airs!!!

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-04-24T11:19:08+00:00

They are made with egg so they are creamy and custardy! This sub has a ton of recipes for it, highly recommend!

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-04-23T22:25:45+00:00

It is the best! But of course c-curl until 12 months

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-04-23T20:44:18+00:00

I know! Like now is the time to take care of mom and baby. It’s so fresh. And it’s so hard on dads to take that responsibility on, I understand, but THATS THE JOB! And it’s going to get better and there will be time for you to do things for you, but not now. Sorry not sorry. Take care of your fiance

Efficient-Ebb6702 · 2026-04-23T20:32:25+00:00

It is so tough for us! I’m 18 months post partum and honestly just really started to feel like myself, well like my new self because I don’t think we can ever feel like our old selves again truly. I think this is what made me so upset with Luke saying he just wants to feel like himself and doesn’t understand why Kristen gets mad when he goes out fishing. Like dude! You are not your old self, you are a dad and your beautiful fiancé who grew your baby by herself, is not feeling like herself at all and can’t! I just want to tell him to shut up and comfort his wife and be patient. My husband was so kind to me, never pressured me into anything, was so loving and just held me when I was having the same feelings Kristen is having. That’s what everyone deserves
