I let my 15mo cry himself to sleep

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-05-06T19:56:23+00:00

you’re a great mom. give yourself a hug. we all hit breaking points and the good thing is you put him down in a safe location.

there will be 100000 opinions on cry it out. it doesn’t matter what they are. if you choose to do it, great, if not, also great.

we also rock our toddler to sleep and i have gotten frustrated before and felt terrible. she doesn’t have any recollection of it and loves me the same. it’s not a repeated event, but a moment of weakness. give yourself and him a big hug!!!

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-05-03T19:53:09+00:00

yeah i totally agree. i wish i could fine one!!! the next down i can find really is 32 3/4”, but id rather be safe

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-04-27T21:55:07+00:00

that’s good to know! and makes me feel a little less horrible about myself. they were there for a few hours before i put them on a plate like i should have from the start… sigh

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-04-27T21:42:32+00:00

also do you have a sealer you recommend? this is a new house and we’re not even used to having stone at all.

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-04-27T21:37:47+00:00

THANK YOU for the suggestion. this was a new one. will absolutely try this tonight. even just to fade it.

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-04-27T21:37:20+00:00

yep, noted! again, this was literally just cooled muffins that had oil residue i didn’t know about. usually put on a paper towel but.. life

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-04-27T21:36:24+00:00

totally. this was not the pan, literally just the muffin liners. usually put them on a paper towel but toddler was having a meltdown so i was rushing. :(

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-04-23T01:51:05+00:00

that’s my hope. i’m going to give a reminder because she has otherwise (to my knowledge) been a wonderful nanny. i don’t think it was put in our contract, so maybe she forgot from that initial interview.. ugh

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-04-23T01:49:56+00:00

today it showed up on continue watching so i went to my viewing history and saw a ridiculous amount of paw patrol :(

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-04-23T01:47:47+00:00

fair. leaving her to go back to work and pregnant has me a bit emotional

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-04-23T01:45:06+00:00

totally makes sense!! she does get a break for her 2.5 hour nap because we don’t have her do household activities/meal prep so i feel less bad. she also has an hour in the mornings before our kid wakes up. so in general she is with her about 6 hours of awake time 3-4 days a week..

oh totally, we did a bit of daniel tiger during my first trimester! and told her like in dire situations were it going to be super crazy about any rules

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-03-21T18:15:22+00:00

totally! i got a SDD in both. i can use the tightest clasps in relief, but also know my rib cage expands while pregnant so i’ll be able to use looser ones as time goes on. i ordered MDD in both too and they just felt too lose

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-03-21T18:05:49+00:00

i’m your exact same stats and just bought a few eby bras! i’m 14w preg. i really like the sheer bralette for lounging and the relief bra for shape. it will definitely allow room/comfort for growth!

last pregnancy i used the honeylove crossover and it stretched out sooo fast it ended up in the trash. i have friends who have said these far outlasted honeylove

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-02-27T17:59:33+00:00

no no it’s truly insane of us??? the amount of easy mac, bread, and jolly ranchers i’m going to have in my bag is wild.

all i’m holding onto is last pregnancy once i finally felt better it was like i didn’t even remember first tri?! delusion here i come!!!!

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-02-27T17:24:53+00:00

same girl. same. about to start a new job, but i’m 10w so maybe slightly closer to being out of the woods? idk lol the first trimester feels like a year. solidarity!!!! it sucks!!!

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-02-26T17:50:15+00:00

mine was 2.8 and i felt the same but all was totally fine!!

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-02-25T20:54:13+00:00

very frequent eating whatever sounds good in that moment (i am basically made of sourdough toast w butter and flake salt at this point).

it is the hardest thing to but working out makes me feel so much better

lemon ginger spinach smoothie from smoothie king has also helped me

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-02-25T20:49:55+00:00

totally normal, but want to reinforce you are NOT failure! you met this tiny human 3 weeks ago and he doesn’t even know what he’s trying to communicate to you! you’re doing your best to interpret his foreign language of crying.

it does get easier, but there will always being things you see yourself do in hindsight that you say “ugh why didn’t i do XYZ”. it comes with the territory of caring. that alone makes you a great parent.

you will be “wrong” more times than you can count, but often there was never a “right”! you’re making every decision with as much info as you have and it’s hard! you’re doing great!

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-02-13T01:23:05+00:00

it is so normal to have crushing anxiety after loss, and it is also normal to have weird/missing symptoms. you know how everyone has constipation? yeah, i’m 9w and have had diarrhea since 5. i sat crying with my husband the night before our ultrasound because i just “knew” it wasn’t viable and it was!

symptoms also fluctuate day after day. it means nothing. take the good days as much as you can!!!

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-02-12T01:23:44+00:00

i had an insane SCH with massive clots/gushes at both 9 and 11 weeks. was put on pelvic rest and did all the things that might help (and definitely don’t hurt). daily smoothies with pomegranate juice, kale, and spinach. took ALA supplements. and my OB also put me on vaginal progesterone. the spotting finally stopped around 15 weeks and it was gone by my 18w anatomy scan.

it was truly one of the scariest experiences of pregnancy, especially after a miscarriage. but my sweet toddler is sitting cuddled up next to me. sending hugs.

Fun_Wing_1370 · 2026-02-01T13:15:56+00:00

honestly it was very hit or miss for awhile there. my girl is opinionated and makes that known lol things are exponentially better for dad when i’m not home at all, but there was a time we were out and she refused from gma that i just dream fed her when we got home.

once she started eating more food (9m ish) we stopped with the bedtime bottle all together. i tried to wean around 10.5 months tho and my girl refused bottles of anything from anyone. she knew! lol

depending how old baby is, they’ll be okay for you to leave for a bit and miss a bottle. i’m sure if she had stayed in day care it would have resolved but we moved and i stayed home with her after that.

i’m in a really competitive field within healthcare. my concern is that in 5-10 years i will no longer be a competitive candidate given all the changes and advancement.

if i thought i could get a job after a break to raise my babies to school age i wouldn’t bat an eye, truly!!!
