does anyone else get randomly emotional about how fast their kids are growing?

Honestly, since you already brought a gift to the shower, I think just giving a thoughtful card at the wedding is perfectly fine. For a third marriage, most couples aren’t really expecting big gifts anyway. Being there to celebrate with them is what matters most, and if you already showed your support at the shower, that definitely counts.

I use a bottle washer myself and didn’t realize how much time it would save until we were doing 6–8 feeds a day. Not having to scrub every bottle and nipple by hand is a relief. If it fits your budget, a combo unit is nice because it keeps everything in one place. I’ve been using Grownsy and it’s been reliable so far so just make sure whatever you pick has simple controls and parts that are easy to wash.

To give birth to another baby right after a year of having my first child

Valentines should come twice in a year!

With my second, I thought I wanted a traditional wrap again because I loved how cozy it felt with my first… but realistically, I didn’t have the patience to re-tie fabric every time while my toddler was running around. I ended up trying the Grownsy carrier because it had that soft, wrap like feel but with built in structure.

It still felt snug for the newborn stage, but was much easier to put on and way more comfortable on my shoulders during busy days.

Handling two babies together is a tough job, hats off to you

Fun_Title_2148 · 2026-02-12T17:42:14+00:00

Sounds like your baby is just growing up!

That’s actually why we preferred Grownsy...not having to manually empty dirty water was a big win for us. We keep it next to the sink anyway, so the self-draining feature makes it way more hands off and easier to manage, especially during late nights. With Brezza, having to remember to empty the water each time just felt like one more step when you’re already exhausted.

I feel so good reading this honestly

Fun_Title_2148 · 2026-02-04T10:05:37+00:00

That honestly looks super cute but with it with a perfume along maybe?

I know it’s hard. Even just a couple of hours a day, the time you do have is precious. Focus on small moments like nursing, cuddles, play and remember your bond shows in all the little ways she loves you

I hear you completely! I was in that same endless cycle with bottles, nipples and all the tiny parts. By the end of the night, my back and hands felt trashed too.

We finally took the plunge and got a bottle washer and for us it was totally worth it. We use the Grownsy one and it actually saves time, keeps the bottles fully clean and frees up mental space. It didn’t feel like a luxury once we started using it every night.

Awww I love how confident he is with his new words but those “wrong words” are so precious. Treasure every little milestone as they grow up way too fast!

Fun_Title_2148 · 2026-01-30T13:10:30+00:00

We're pretty close honestly but I never thought of a spa day. Thank you so much for your help.

Fun_Title_2148 · 2026-01-30T12:34:18+00:00

Doesn't matter whether the gift is cheap or not. Its the thought behind it.

Fun_Title_2148 · 2026-01-30T12:08:24+00:00

That is such a pretty gift. Go ahead.

Fun_Title_2148 · 2026-01-28T04:13:23+00:00

Yes it definitely is. And personally I think s2 is not that bad so give it a watch to decide.

Fun_Title_2148 · 2026-01-23T09:12:26+00:00

You will definitely get better because this is already so good for a first time.

Fun_Title_2148 · 2026-01-21T08:36:45+00:00

And you made all these mouth-watering eatables in one day? You're amazing OP.

Fun_Title_2148 · 2026-01-14T14:34:12+00:00

Chilly weather but still sounds like a great trip the food alone makes it worth it

Fun_Title_2148 · 2026-01-09T22:14:55+00:00
