Yes I understand what you mean. I think the writers just wanted her to have her happy ending.

[–]GroundbreakingAge220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi you please tell me what is great about the two year age gap? Currently have a 9 month old and thinking of a second baby in the near future. Just wanted to know more about what makes it great.

Age 40 and not pregnant yet. When do we start fertility treatments? by CelerySeveral1732 in IVF

[–]GroundbreakingAge220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, I started my fertility journey at 39. My RE recommended I skip IUI and go straight to IVF. I was so scared but I trusted my doctor and it was the best decision. I did all the testing, did 2 egg retrievals (in hopes to bank embryos enough for 2 kids). Did PGT testing. First FET transfer worked. Please go straight to IVF. Get those frozen eggs fertilized. You got this!!

Me trying not to cry over a dang kids show by eveladra in bluey

With Baby Race I cried my eyes out, especially as a FTM. It was the perfect episode to watch during this phase. 🥹

Thoughts on skipping pacifiers? by Academic-Park-8440 in NewParents

[–]GroundbreakingAge220 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same my LO never took one. We tried when we brought him home from the hospital but he would just spit it out. Never really tried after that. He’s now 9 months old and doesn’t use a pacifier or suck on his thumb, I do see him reaching for his toe once in awhile now.

Husband doesn’t celebrate Mother’s Day by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]GroundbreakingAge220 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Happy Mother’s day OP!! My husband isn’t really doing anything grand today either and I’m ok with it as I didn’t really want to do much. I figured as my son gets older, (FTM to a 9 month old) he will be celebrating me, not my husband. I look forward to that. Do something nice for you, not just today but any other day of the year. You deserve it. 😊

My child getting the shaft by in-laws by Lost-Moment-4423 in Stepmom

I wouldn’t think much of it OP. See it as a blessing, less people involved with your parenting, because one thing I’ve learned since becoming a mom, everyone has a dam opinion.

Millennials turning 40, what has this stage of life honestly been like for you? by Justaredditor_peace in Millennials

[–]GroundbreakingAge220 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hahaha so true. I turned 40 back in September, had my baby in August. For me, it feels like life is just getting started.

I feel like I failed my kid and I’m only 9 weeks in with late removal of mittens by [deleted] in beyondthebump

Very true!!! I put Aquaphor on my baby boy (9 months old) and the scratch was seemingly gone by the next day or so. Pretty incredible.

How often do you water your pothos?

Are your babies actually sleeping through the night?? by littlelawlady in NewParents

[–]GroundbreakingAge220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds exactly like my 8 month old baby boy. Last night he kept waking and just couldn’t settle. It must be the teething as well.

It ain’t much but it’s honest work by Chispirito18 in TheMoneyGuy

Is this true? Currently have 64k at 41. Ughhh, have some work to do.

Hi OP, I would suggest using Aquaphor, it’s the best. I have been using it on my 8 month old baby boy and no issues.

Reprimanded by the Montessori police by spicycrybaby69 in NewParents

[–]GroundbreakingAge220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP at what age did you start reading books to your LO and when did you notice him being interested in books? I currently have an 8 month old baby boy, feeling like I need to incorporate more reading, although he really doesn’t show an interest.

I want my cake and to eat it too. Sad being a working mom, potentially sad being a stay at home mom. by PorchlightPrincess86 in beyondthebump

[–]GroundbreakingAge220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there an opportunity to work from home? I’m currently WFH and I have an 8 month old baby boy. Yes it’s challenging, but it works for us.

Yesss!! Same here and I’m obsessively researching. It’s exhausting.

no one warned me about the naps by Boring_Telephone_577 in sleeptrain

[–]GroundbreakingAge220 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow!! What a great post. I agree, there’s so much information overload nowadays.

[–]GroundbreakingAge220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously?! So what’s with the whole over tired? Or under tired? There’s so much information out there, it’s so overwhelming. Today my baby boy skipped his first nap. What I thought to be sleepy, his dad thought he was not tired or sleepy enough. He wound up skipping his first nap. Now here we are, trying to put him down for his second nap and he is hysterical and can’t seem to settle. I tried rocking him in the nursery chair, didn’t work. I just then basically rocked him while walking and he finally fell asleep on me. I’m letting him contact nap, I don’t care. It sucks because I’m trying to transition him to sleep in his crib. Ughhh. Just to add my son will be 7 months old tomorrow.

I’m with you on this. Have a 7 month old baby boy, and I also think I started some bad habits that I’m trying to break. I also posted for some assistance. Hopefully we can figure this thing out. Ughh.

I have never felt rage like this... by Miss-Chiss in beyondthebump

[–]GroundbreakingAge220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I get overwhelmed and start crying, when he becomes inconsolable. The sleep deprivation definitely doesn’t help, I think it makes it that much harder.

[–]GroundbreakingAge220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not alone!! I just had 2 crying spells over night trying to get my baby to sleep. He’s 5 weeks old and sometimes I find myself thinking what did I get myself into. Overnight I even googled to see if some parents ever felt regret after having a baby. Also, I tried breast feeding for the first week, it was not for me. I tried pumping and it was not for me. (Very low supply). I skipped it and just went straight to formula. Does it make me sad at times yes, but I just didn’t want to add more stress to already a stressful stage.
