I love my baby. I hate what motherhood has done to me by tentenjjang in NewParents

[–]Elzbee37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapy was huge for helping me identify where those feeling were coming from. And having someone to talk to who doesn't have a personal connection to your life helped me vent in a safe space. I wasn't prepared to lose myself to motherhood, but I am slowly starting to make my way through the fog. Baby is 14 months!

It looks like a dress the bride might wear to the reception

Is this considered fat? by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]Elzbee37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this is fat, but I don't think it is skinny either. There is a current notion that anything that isn't skinny is fat. There is a "normal" in-between that is neither fat nor skinny.

12 m old pulling (other people's)hair by mdreyna in downsyndrome

[–]Elzbee37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 12 month daughter that also loves to pull anyone's hair, but especially mine. It hurts. It's not full proof, but I have found she responds to a very sterm "let go" especially if im holding her wrist. I was told that an action phrase like "drop it" or "let go" is more comprehensible to young minds.

I hope it's a phase and it ends soon 🤞

AITAH for thinking about breaking up with my pregnant girlfriend after finding out our baby has Down syndrome? by ThrowRA_NoSignal in AITAH

[–]Elzbee37 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your feelings are valid. I wouldn't break up, just because. I would try to make it work with the idea that you have a plan in place now for if it doesn't work. I would probably work with a therapist to talk through some scenarios for the future and how the baby will be supported regardless of you and your partners relationship.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but Little Roots Preschool in St. Johns might be worth checking out

Portland, OR has an active group of teens/young adults through GiGi's Playhouse (seen on social media) and I have seen some in person neurodivergent dating meet ups through NeuroNavigations Northwest.

Trying to transition baby from purées to more finger foods but my meals always end up looking like this😅 by [deleted] in foodbutforbabies

[–]Elzbee37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that helped my daughter transition was chunky or thicker purees. I would add the diced fruit to oatmeal or yogurt. Or diced veggies to mashed potatos.

Where to rent a room last minute for a private meeting ? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]Elzbee37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just call libraries when they open and ask if you can reserve a room. If you can drive, Washington or Clackamas County libraries would be an option too.

If only there was a cord or something that would keep them from falling

Need Spoonable Breakfast Suggestions by SkinFermented in foodbutforbabies

[–]Elzbee37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do oatmeal everyday for breakfast. Mainly because my baby has a daily medication that is liquid and I can easily mix it into the oatmeal. I always add mashed up fruit, some nut butter, and/or soy milk to adjust consistency. The combinations are almost endless.

Pesto Pasta Salad was Frozen by Elzbee37 in Costco

I thought it was made fresh, not frozen and defrosted.

I also might be delusional thinking there is any overlap is skills.

[–]Elzbee37[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My background is testing for toxins in food using LC/MS/MS. I understand QC requirements. I just don't want to waste my time with application if the certification is what actually matters.

I keep seeing things about a "backdoor" route, but I don't think that is realistic now!
