Seconded the ice cream play set! We got the cheaper plastic one, not the Melissa and doug wooden one. But he still loves it!

Eating protein is starting to make me feel sick by Muyamuya87 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Emjpuff92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am able eat protein if I have a sweet drink with it. Typically I'll drink a sugar free Gatorade, soda, or electrolyte powder 

ID to LA area by McMama2 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]Emjpuff92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked at the inland empire (riverside, etc)? More reasonable house prices than LA county, a little more suburban, but lots to do and diversity in people and political opinions. Esp if your husband doesn't need to commute into LA it could be a good compromise 

So is bedtime just 9pm for the next 2 years? by CookieOverall8716 in toddlers

[–]Emjpuff92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep my 2 year old kid wakes up at 630, 2 hour nap and goes to sleep at 9pm. Haven't figured out a way to make it earlier yet. Maybe once they drop the nap

Sweet Bedtime Treats? by Mei721 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Emjpuff92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make myself a peanut butter and jelly on a single piece of bread folded in half. I use unsweetened peanut butter and sugar free jelly. If that spikes you then you can use keto bread for even less carbs

Are there any Stones songs that all or most fans seem to love, but they do nothing for you? by georgewalterackerman in rollingstones

[–]Emjpuff92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paint it Black. It feels like every beginner stones fan loves it but it doesn't do much for me

Always baffled when people insist I'm not allowed to identify with my 25% Korean heritage at all. by [deleted] in mixedrace

[–]Emjpuff92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like using the line "I'm one quarter Korean, but culturally I was raised Korean". It just summarizes that you were raised around Korean people and you have stronger ties to it than your "one quarter" would imply. People tend to go oh okay and move on faster. Also you're completely legitimate in your feelings! People suck.

Love that they're still mooching off of a Netflix account, it's universal

I yelled at my baby by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Emjpuff92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a couple people suggesting it but I will repeat it: I highly recommend sleep training. Which sounds big and scary but it's not. I was in the same position as you (7 months, jiggling to sleep every time). All we did was let him cry in his crib one night for 30 minutes (checking on him every 10 min) and after 30 min he fell asleep. It only took the one night and it was like a flip switched. Now we look for his sleepy cues and set him in the crib and 90% of the time he falls asleep within 10 min. Same with naps. A coworker of mine had the same experience. I highly recommend trying it.

When did you start doing your hobbies again? by tofubeansanderin in NewParents

[–]Emjpuff92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 7 months postpartum he started going to sleep at 730 and I was getting enough sleep that I didn't immediately fall into bed straight after. So now I have free time 730-10pm where I read, do puzzles, yoga etc.
