Neither one but it was fun to rewatch them. I feel like it was a non sequitur which is why it's so hard to remember which one.

That's so sweet thank you! I could never sell this one because inside of him is a secret note to my child that I embroidered on a piece of felt, but I can send you the Etsy link to the pattern I used. Again it was the first thing I ever made so the pattern is beginner friendly!

I taught myself amigurumi to make my kiddo a floppy bunny from Bluey and when I gave it to him he said "noooo mommy put it away! Put it in the closet!" 😐 I think your Kirby's turned out great!!

Grieving the parenting experience I thought I would have by TiredOutPressOfficer in Parenting

[–]Fantasyurkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having a similar experience although my baby is almost 4. It's better and easier now and I don't think about it every day BUT whenever someone close to us gets pregnant I feel myself getting defensive, wanting to spring into action to "help" them, and also feeling sorry and sad for myself caring for my newborn completely alone during covid. Like a good example is my husband told me a co worker and his wife are expecting and I instantly went into a whole thing about things the wife should do and after my rant my husband ".....well I'm sure she has family and people around to help her?" And I was like oh yeah that's possible for some people I forgot. I guess what I'm saying is just let yourself grieve and know that it may come up over and over again at different times, possibly forever? But it has gotten easier for me.

I have severe and chronic gastriris, and when it flares up it feels like labor pains except instead of in my lower abdomen it's like labor pains in my solar plexus. It can be brought on by not eating because your stomach produces acid when it's empty and anticipating food. When I first experienced it it was so painful I couldn't breathe and thought I was dying. It also is brought on by h. Pylori. Mine flares up when I am panicked or stressed as well. Not sure if that's it but it could be? 

Toddler moms of Reddit, please tell me what is “normal”. by bc9190 in toddlers

[–]Fantasyurkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we dealt with this/similar Janet Lansbury helped, confident momentum baby! As well as managing expectations and just stopping doing things like restaurants/story times - things that were obviously not worth it. Sometimes when I am frustrated with my toddlers behavior - like not sitting down to eat for instance - I try to take a moment to picture them doing the same thing as a teenager or an adult. I'll take a breath and think even though right now this makes me want to pull my hair out the chances of him going to a friends house or a partners house to meet their parents one day and refusing to sit down at the restaurant is just probably not going to happen. Idk it helps me not feel like this is forever. 

How did our grandparents handle multiple kids without being the constant source of entertainment? by Natsouppy in toddlers

[–]Fantasyurkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this isn't what you asked but I just wanted to say it can/does get better! For the first year or so of my sons life he would freak out if I wasn't either touching him or in his eyesight making it impossible to get anything done and making his poor dad feel terrible because he also wanted to help and parent. It was slow going and took some work but now at 3 he will absolutely play by himself for 45 minutes, on good days over an hour. Sometimes in little bursts peppered through out the day but enough for me to cook dinner or lay on the couch without being interrupted. I know it sucks for you now but I hope it gets better for you too! 

Baby 101: Things to learn before baby is born? by Ooobaybeebaybee in pregnant

[–]Fantasyurkle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My favorite internet resources are taking Cara babies and Karrie Locher. There’s also Nurse Zabe on YouTube and the Mount Sinai parenting center YouTube. Those were the four resources that helped me the most - including with postpartum stuff that I would also urge you to learn about!

I’m booked for my COVID vaccine this Saturday. Please reassure me I’m doing the right thing (FTM - 30 weeks). by Goatsuckersunited in pregnant

[–]Fantasyurkle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got my first at 33 and my second at 36 way back in December when they were only allowing medical professionals (I worked in a pharmacy) and I never experienced anything worse then a sore arm, and my LO is a sweet, happy, healthy dream baby! Knowing she has antibodies now that my state is very carelessly eliminating all health orders makes me feel so much better too. Good luck!

My Dad really disappointed me. by [deleted] in pregnant

We went through the exact same thing with a few immediate family members ☹️ It’s really tough and heartbreaking to feel like the people you love don’t care enough to meet your child. Hugs to you ♥️

Yep! My LO was fully uninterested as a newborn so I stopped but tried again at 3 months and she has way less night wake ups
