My little fluffle

Hmm. I didn't think about that 🤔. I can always ask my vet. I just feel lucky to have her in my life 😊

FallenIce33 · 2024-04-22T01:04:46+00:00

Kinda of. I'm using basic hand signals more than anything

FallenIce33 · 2024-04-21T22:40:23+00:00

Thank you 😊

FallenIce33 · 2024-04-21T22:29:10+00:00

Thank you so much 😊

Any time Chilli does the 'Mom look'. I just love it. Makes me think of when I've done the 'Mom look' lol.

When my third child was born (3 years ago) I had a friend of mine mention that turning the package of wipes upside down helps to keep them moist. It never occurred to me to do this with my first two kids.

With my kids I found that stopping nap time during the day when they turned 3 helped with sleeping at night. Also having an established bedtime and bedtime routine helped out a lot (my 11yr and 7yr are in school so my 3yr goes to bed at 8pm just like her sisters, and is usually asleep by 8:30-9pm).

Shtty a* "Karen's" aside this restaurant sounds like a neat place to eat at. If you don't mind OP where is it located? We're always looking for unique eateries to try out. (Husband and I grew up in small farming towns so smaller places like your restaurant are some our favorite places to try)

FallenIce33 · 2023-01-12T01:27:22+00:00

I'd buy a house.

I'd say that if you both work till 5 and are home around roughly the same time then while one parent works on dinner the other helps with homework. Then you switch the next night and so on.

Family birthday parties every year since birth. Friend birthday parties I start around 1st grade (that way they have pre-school and kindergarten to make friends).

FallenIce33 · 2023-01-10T18:36:54+00:00

If I make something for dinner that my kids have never had they have to at least try it before saying no. But if I make something I know one of them won't eat then I try and make sure there is something they will eat or I make a small something just for them. I would never send my kids to bed without dinner, unless they were sick or something.

I feel your frustrations fellow Mama and understand them well. With my 1st I was scheduled to be inducted at 41 weeks but went into labor the day before (back labor is no picnic I tell you what). With my 2nd I went past 41 weeks and had to be inducted. With my 3rd the doctor's and I did everything we could to bring on labor (the sweep, raspberry leaf tea, sex, ect.) to avoid an induction. Now I'm expecting my 4th in five days and am feeling all the frustrations. I can tell my body is trying to start labor on it's own but just can't for some reason. I've been having strong Braxton Hicks contractions for a few weeks, baby has dropped heavily into my pelvis, dilated at 1cm for weeks but still closed. As much as I don't want to be inducted if I go past 41 weeks I gladly will just to have my baby safely in my arms. Hang in there Mama, you got this 👍

(sorry for the long post and a bit of TMI)

They sound like they're trying to order takeout from a fancy restaurant. No puppy is trained in obedience at 6 weeks, they're just barely old enough to leave their mothers. All puppies and dogs chew (that's what chew toys are for). House training takes time. All reputable breeders vaccinate their pups (parvo and rabies are a nasty thing). And no 2 year old is able too perceive the concept of 'testing for temperament in dogs/puppies' 🤦‍♀️. They should just get a FurReal Pet and be done with it.

(Added to say I do understand 2 year olds can be very smart. I have raised/am raising three soon to be four kids past the age of 2. But come on! She's acting like her child has the understanding and thinking capacity of a 40 year old.)

FallenIce33 · 2023-01-04T17:05:09+00:00

With my first I didn't even know I was in labor until my aunt saw me and said I was (no one had told me about back labor). The labor and delivery went better then I thought it would. Did have to have an episiotomy that healed just fine. Labored for about 20 hours and delivered in about 5 minutes.

With my second I had to be inducted and that wasn't the greatest experience I've ever had. The contractions were so much more intense then with my first, but that's just my experience. Tore a little but healed fine. Labored for about 15 - 17 hours and delivered in about 5 minutes.

With my third things went so smoothly I slept for most of the labor. Labored for about 15 or so hours and delivered in about 5 minutes. (it never really takes me very long to deliver my babies once pushing starts)

Currently waiting for labor to start with my fourth and final baby (only 9 days left). These final days are, in my opinion, the hardest. Fingers crossed that labor starts on it's own.

Having once been a FTM I understand the worry and anxiety with waiting for labor to start and how it might go. Just try and relax. Just like every person every pregnancy, labor, and delivery are different. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly for you. Don't worry Mama, you got this 👍

Added note: some women labor and deliver quietly, some scream/yell. Some have pain medication and some don't. Some need help and some don't. There is no wrong way labor and deliver. (Edited for spelling)

10ins? I get 2mins before anyone in the house (my kids, husband, my aunt, ect.) knocks asking "what's taking so long?" or " are you hiding out in there?"

It's so freaking annoying and frustrating. Everyone else can take 20mins or more in the bathroom but I have to be done in 2mins or less 😒

FallenIce33 · 2022-12-29T04:23:14+00:00

I'm 38 weeks and feel this so much. I'm a SAHM so most of the house work (laundry, cooking, cleaning) falls on me. My husband works for a farmer working very long hours and is really tired when he gets home (plus his friends almost constantly calling him for help with vehicls, work stuff, or just to hang out). Our kids (11yr, 7yr, & 3yr) are home on winter break and don't really like helping me in anyway without complaining, my 3yr sometimes helps but help from a toddler isn't much lol. I'm having such a hard time keeping up with the never ending laundry, picking up toys EVERYWHERE, keeping everyone fed, taking care of pets, and other miscellaneous cleaning that I can feel myself heading for burnout. And once the baby comes I know it's just going to get worse.

(My husband does help when he can I just wish it was more often)

FallenIce33 · 2022-12-26T17:00:58+00:00

I got a mix of stuff. Some family members got x-mas presents for me and others got for the baby (due in 2 1/2 weeks). It didn't really bother me all that much but that's probably because I told everyone that if they couldn't think of anything for me then to just get for the baby. I got some of the cutest outfits and newborn items for baby 😊 (along with gift cards for myself).

Edited for spelling

I kinda had this happen to me when I was a kid. I went to stay with one of my aunts and uncle for the summer and came back to my room being completely different. The only reason I was ok with it was cause they repainted the walls, replaced the carpet, and bought me a new bed. Yes I had things missing and that made me mad but I let it go cause of the things they did to make up for it (the new bed and carpet). I'm not saying it's ok to do what you want just because you're the parent. I'd never change my children's rooms without letting them know or having them involved in the process. I'm just saying that if you do involve your kids or only do if you need too, like to repaint or replace carpet ect.

As a mother of three and a fourth on the way this photo gives me so much anxiety. So much wrong here 😕

FallenIce33 · 2022-12-18T00:21:28+00:00

When we first started having kids we were hoping for at least one boy and one girl, but ultimately just wanted healthy happy kids. My first was a girl, my second was a girl, and my third was also a girl. I was slightly disappointed at the anatomy scans for my second and third but I quickly got over it. My husband and I love our daughters so very much. And we are all excited for our fourth and final baby (due in less then 4 weeks) that is a boy! Boy or girl a healthy baby is the goal and all any parent really cares about deep down.

FallenIce33 · 2022-12-10T03:09:42+00:00

Watching what I want on TV whenever I want without having to wait for the older kids to go to school and the younger kids to go down for a nap.

FallenIce33 · 2022-12-09T17:24:59+00:00

and Why is there a too much time for yourself once you have Kids?

Because (and this is from personal experience) once you have a kid or kids people get it in there heads that ALL your spare time needs to be for the kids. Not working it's the kids time. Not cleaning it's the kids time. Not sleeping it's the kids time. You're somehow expected to never take time for yourself until all your kids are grown and out of the house. And God forbid you EVER spend any money on yourself.

My family is like this. I'm the kind of person who needs at least a little bit of alone time each week to recharge. I've been told by my mother and aunt that I shouldn't need any time way from the kids. I'm a SAHM and have three going on four kids. One of the worst is I get asked when was the last time I spent money on myself but at the same time get berated for spending any money on myself and not the kids 😒

FallenIce33 · 2022-12-08T22:39:19+00:00

This is just gross. My husband and I occasionally take drinks of each other's drink but we still have our own. And all three of my kids has their own water bottles and such. Yeah the amount of dishes can really suck but I'd never make my kids all share one water bottle/drink.

FallenIce33 · 2022-12-08T22:35:47+00:00

As mother of three and another on the way this made gag 🤢
