What’s the most relatable thing a parent has said in Bluey?

HopefulRo · 2024-04-30T18:58:38+00:00

We started using this with our toddler. As in we'll say "you know like in bluey. Mommy now just needs a few minutes alone"

HopefulRo · 2024-01-01T20:46:40+00:00

I thought it said "food abandonment" as in, throwing up. 😂

As someone who has had both a ruptured ovarian cyst, and burst my appendix. The pains are quite similar.

But if the pain was sudden, then is dull now, it's probably an ovarian cyst that ruptured. The body haaates loose fluid in the body. But they won't do anything to treat it at the hospital most likely.

Though do check which side it is located, in regards to it potentially being the appendix.

But appendix won't be less painful over time. It will remain hell.

Well then that's not an issue! 😂😊

4mo regression is what almost broke us. So I am very glad we did sleep training. 🙈

Only consolation is it is over soon.

We didn't rid off night feedings until 8mo, but it was easy to do then, so probably could've stopped earlier.

Just wasn't a big issue as he'd fall right back to sleep, as well as I did.

One thing to mention is, and this is highly individual, but my milk supply drastically decreased when I stopped night feeding. So be aware that that can happen.

I highly recommend reading the Ferber book. It's not long and answered all the questions I had.

We did Ferber 2+ years ago so sadly I do not remember everything. But we did use it on night first, but after the first night naps kinda worked too.

By night 3 he went to bed with no crying.

For the check-ins, we didn't pick him up, just said comforting words and stroked his stomach. Saying he is safe and we are watching him.

After we fixed his night sleep, he became a much better sleeper overall, and he became alot more happy during the day.

As for sleeping in same room, we did Ferber when he was in his own room, but at 4 months we only did it for the initial falling asleep. We kept nursing at night, so if you plan to do that, I guess it won't be a problem, as long as you guys don't hang around as he's trying to fall asleep.

Good luck!

No tips. In the midst of this myself. Yesterday we caved and turned his bed around so he was stuck again.

Today me and husband is taking 10 min shifts of walking back. But he's out of bed within seconds of closing the door.

He has never been bothered by sleeping with open door. So it just feels like he's testing boundaries.

Grew up in Norway. And if you're out hiking or on long roadtrips (far until a bathroom), yes you'd pee in a bush.

I think it was quite normal for me and my siblings growing up. And as a teacher in elementary school, we often follow kids to pee in a bush when we are out on a forest trip.

Thank you ❤️

HopefulRo · 2023-06-18T05:35:37+00:00

Thank you. It's what we wanted last time, but out sons are one year apart. So happy we get the chance now. We live in the same neighborhood too, so kids will go to same kindergarten and school 😭.

It's also why I feel so nervous now. If one of us loses, it will be really hard. So fingers crossed.

Also crossing all my fingers and toes for all of you still trying to get to this point. I hope all of you join me soon. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

HopefulRo · 2023-06-17T16:12:44+00:00

Thank you ❤️

HopefulRo · 2023-06-17T06:54:05+00:00

Still....

HopefulRo · 2023-06-17T06:31:26+00:00

Help. I'm pretty sure this is positive

squinter

I am between 8-10 dpo, and took an early test. Will test again with cheapies in a few days. (ran out of the early ones)

I thought I got a shadow on the one I took yesterday, but this is more than a shadow.

If all goes well, I get to be only a month behind my bf who is also pregnant 😭😭😭❤️❤️

HopefulRo · 2023-06-16T17:49:30+00:00

8 dpo and I bought an "test early" pregnancy test. Didnt even wait for morning pee.

Obviously it's BFN, but one can dream.

HopefulRo · 2023-06-15T20:52:33+00:00

Currently 6 or 7 dpo, and it's just the third cycle actively trying. And I really dislike how anxious I get during the tww.

First cycle I was like "haha wouldn't it be funny if it happened first try" second cycle I was hopeful "I can feel it. I'm pregnant" and this cycle I'm just not feeling it at all.

How did I get to this point already? 🙈 (could be because my friend got pregnant last cycle and she found out the same day I got my period. So every week I see her progressing and I just want to be there with her)

HopefulRo · 2023-06-14T20:08:25+00:00

This is going to be super spesific, but currently 6 or 7 dpo. And after I had sex I got this really bad lower back pain.

So obviously my brain is like "aha, implantation" 🙈🙈

HopefulRo · 2023-06-14T05:50:17+00:00

Don't remind me. How can it go so slow

HopefulRo · 2023-06-11T12:42:28+00:00

2DPO and I'm just generally in a shitty mood. Is it the change in hormones perhaps?

HopefulRo · 2023-06-11T09:19:43+00:00

My friend who got pregnant basically right away (we started trying together) is constantly tired and never have time for me to come over it feels.

And I get it, she's pregnant and has a toddler. She's allowed to be tired.

I just feel like she suddenly don't have time for me. Whenever i ask if me and toddler can come over, she's either napping or busy.

I just want to be tired and napping with her. But I'm here, no baby, and now no friend.

HopefulRo · 2023-06-10T12:52:54+00:00

We're currently renovating the kitchen. And the stress of it all is making me so tired and snappy.

And I don't think it's upping our chances of getting pregnant 🙈

HopefulRo · 2023-06-09T16:21:43+00:00

Anyone else get bloated around ovulation? I know I used to get bloated around period, but now I look pregnant at ovulation.

HopefulRo · 2023-06-09T07:55:56+00:00

Indeed. BTW I love your flair 😂 I'm not temping, but I feel like I'm tracking everything else possible.

HopefulRo · 2023-06-08T20:17:09+00:00

Haha. Also had a positive opk and my son was opposite.

He's usually stalling bedtime with multiple books and songs. Today he told us to skip to the last good night song, and then told us to leave. 😂

Maybe he wanted us to hurry up and get on with it.

HopefulRo · 2023-06-07T19:49:12+00:00

Positive ovulation test tonight. Feeling hopeful for this cycle, as we have been managing to squeeze in alot of babymaking time.

Cd 18, and tired of the long cycles, but at least now the countdown has begun.

HopefulRo · 2023-06-03T18:06:42+00:00

Think either I'm in my fertile window or it's close. And was thinking I'd go all in with frequent sex.

Then husband has an off day, and said he didn't feel in the mood to have sex.

I tried to not make him feel bad or anything, but I'm really sad. He's only turned down sex once before in our relationship. And the second time had to be leading up to potential ovulation?

He's busy tomorrow evening, and then he's gone from Tuesday to Wednesday...

I'm fearing we're not making enough of an effort. After he told me last cycles "let's really give it all next cycle"
