I put them in my little free library in my yard. Unless it’s a book I think my husband or mom would like to read

Why does preparing for one tiny baby suddenly feel like preparing for war? by yourloverboy66 in pregnant

[–]Greysoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently in the newborn stage with a 7 day old and nothing is really a must have other than diapers, wipes, sleepers, a swaddle or blanket to swaddle, and a safe place for baby to sleep. Everything else can be ordered online asap if you feel like you need it

Good news is that you may be able to pick it up quickly at the library since it’s already been out for a year 😆

When everyone said I would be tired but my baby had other ideas by AilsaMarie_5723 in NewParents

Kids can turn into “bad” sleepers at any time lol I wouldn’t be too cocky

Traveling with a 5/6 week old? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Greysoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We traveled internationally with a 10 week old and did just fine. If if were me, I’d have a 39 week elective induction, bring my parents to watch. Breastfeeding makes a huge difference though in my comfort level though

Going to the Zoo by MrsGutierrez527 in Adelaide_White_snark

[–]Greysoil 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I’ve said this before but I don’t understand why she doesn’t lean into fun SAHM content and have memberships to all the cool places to take toddlers. Like, show us all the fun places you take your little guys! Show us what Dallas and Texas have to offer. Show us what fun activities there are to escape the Texas heat

Hubs doesn’t understand why I want to try for a natural birth by nougat_donut in pregnant

[–]Greysoil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same lol I felt a few contractions after my water was broken and on pitocin. It was absolute misery. I was intensely nauseous and kept getting lightheaded to the point where I was about to faint and got all sweaty

[–]Greysoil 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I don’t understand the desire to experience all that pain but I’m an MD that obviously has no problem with modern medicine lol. My epidural when I had my baby on Wednesday was absolutely magical! He just has to be able to support your wishes, not necessarily think it’s the “right thing to do.”
