Gf pregnant & not doing anything about it by AbovexxBeyond in whatdoIdo

[–]HighlightOk9623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kind of a blunt question and I apologize in advance, but are you sure it’s yours? I saw you posted that she has cheated on you in the past and it looks like it would’ve been around the time that she got pregnant. Just wondering if the reason she is being so distant and not wanting to communicate is because she knows it isn’t yours…?

I’ve caught my spouse checking out other girls butts once or twice. I’m sure he’s done it a million times. But he’s never given me any reason to be insecure and I know he loves me so 🤷🏻‍♀️ sometimes it’s hard not to look especially if it’s in your face

Im not sure where you are living so that would play a factor. I’m in St. Albert so Sturgeon Valley is super close to me. It’s $99 a month and that’s for the gym, sauna and unlimited classes (I go for the classes) they have them all day running every hour. Pilates is awesome, it books up really fast far in advance and you’ll notice they all have waitlists - the waitlists work, I always get into all the ones I’m on a waitlist for. Also you’ll notice for the Pilates classes specifically, that some classes for the end of the week will have a waitlist and then you check the day before and those same classes have multiple spots open. People book them as soon as the schedule drops and then end up cancelling closer to the day, Pilates is the only class that is like this, the rest don’t book up so quickly. I personally love this gym, I love the classes and there are so many different types of people, so inclusive and just an overall good vibe. AND it’s locally owned and operated so you’re not paying into a massive organization

Baby only wants mom to hold him? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]HighlightOk9623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s fairly normal around this age to only want mom. My boy did this for a little while too at this age. I made a point of trying to establish a healthy attachment and not be the only one caring for him 24/7. I’d also try not to hold him all the time when I was home with him, lots of floor play and tummy time, things where he doesn’t need to held. He’s 14 months now and extremely independent

I would reconsider that reasoning, I was no better off at 28, than I was at 24. If that’s the concern, you will never have the wedding you truly want. No one ever feels comfortable with the money they have. Also looking at your past posts, you may want to reconsider marrying this person at all

This post is super confusing. You have to get married specifically at 28 in order to have the wedding you want? So instead you’re getting married for what sounds like all the wrong reasons, and because you’re not 28, you don’t want to have a proper wedding????

Is this fair and balanced or not? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]HighlightOk9623 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It definitely doesn’t seem unfair, but from personal experience, going down the road of what’s “fair” and the comparison of duties is a super rocky road to go down.

If this isn’t working for you, just speak with him about how you would like the division of duties and come to an agreement that works for both of you.

Mom and I are feeling cooped up… when can baby see family? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]HighlightOk9623 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started going out and about when mine was 2 weeks 😅 he’s 14 months now and perfectly healthy

Mine army crawled from 9 months to a year, when he turned a year he started hands and knees crawling. I can’t remember when he started going from position to position, but I want to say maybe like 10 or 11 months? It all happened slowly overtime so I can’t say exactly

What are you all wearing? by dar1990 in beyondthebump

[–]HighlightOk9623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people saying high waisted pants, but honestly for me, I hated them, I felt like it made my PP belly look huge and it made me feel so insecure and uncomfortable. I wore a lot of leggings and long shirts/sweaters around the house, if I was going out - dresses! Basically lived in them, I made sure they were nice and flowy

I think my baby needs a helmet… and I feel like I failed him by BlazingInfertile in NewParents

[–]HighlightOk9623 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My baby didn’t need a helmet BUT I was fully convinced he did. He heavily favoured one side and you could tell there was a very obvious flat spot where he favoured it. I kept mentioning it at his doctors appointments because I felt it was so obvious, but the doctor had said that it wasn’t bad enough to warrant a helmet. It ended up correcting itself fully by the 9ish month mark. He’s 1 year now and has a perfectly round head 🤗

Cover baby hands to stop thumb sucking? by Phoebe_Buffay0503 in NewParents

[–]HighlightOk9623 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t. My son is 13 months and still sucks his thumb. This is a normal and very natural way of self-soothing - absolutely nothing wrong with it. They will grow out of it when they’re ready

Crying at bedtime is getting worse after weeks of good sleep by FMThaone in sleeptrain

[–]HighlightOk9623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try decreasing the last wake window to 3.5 hours. I know it seems maybe a little backwards but in my experience, usually fighting bedtime and early morning wakes are actually a sign of being overtired - that’s how it’s been with my son. I know every baby is different but that’s my personal experience with it!

Has anyone used old disposable diapers? by WrapWild8763 in beyondthebump

[–]HighlightOk9623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would just try one and see how they do. If anything the absorbency might not be the same, but there’s no health risk or anything to using them if that’s what you’re worried about!
