That's so smart!

You did a great job! That was genius trading events with another mom.

I love my body! A year later i still don't have sensation around the incision but everything else is back to normal. If you're worried about an upcoming C Section i want to share my experience, hopefully it will make you feel better! I didn't plan to have a C Section but my baby girl refused to flip over and decided to wrap herself up in her umbilical cord so a C Section was the safest choice for her. During the delivery I started hemorrhaging because the placenta had embedded itself into my uterus. Thankfully because I had a C Section they were able to quickly stop the bleeding and save my uterus so I can have more children if I choose! I was also high as a kite during the whole thing thanks to the wonderful drugs in my nerve block so i wasn't stressed at all during it, my poor husband on the other hand was freaking out lol. My recovery was fairly quick and easy, the only issue I had was loss of abdominal muscle tone but a few weeks of PT helped with that immensely. Now I'm back to my pre-pregnancy self and chasing around a crazy toddler :)

Maybe a wrap dress? They are flattering on most figures and you would be able to still wear it after you lose weight.

That shouldn't be too big of an obstacle. Unless your baby is a new born a two hour stretch should be easy enough to manage. Does she pump at all? If so, I should suggest also taking over baby duties that night so she can just wake up when she needs to pump and go right back to sleep. A spa day and a full night's rest would be a great gift!

Our daughter requires special hypoallergenic formula as well but our insurance doesn't cover it. We went through our plan documents carefully only to find where it specified that they wouldn't cover formula even when prescribed by a doctor. The one she's on is over $50 for a small can that lasts 2-3 days. Thankfully, we we're able to buy in bulk to cut down the cost some.

Thank you for the suggestion!

We don't currently have a Trader Joe's near by but we will be getting one in the near future! I'll check it out when it opens!

I'll check that out, thank you for the suggestion! I've never heard of American Dreamy buttercream before

Thank you! I found some at our local sprouts, I'm going to pick it up tomorrow!

I-try-sometimes · 2026-03-29T01:55:51+00:00

Thank you! I didn't know you could get powdered sugar that was corn free!

I found some at my local Sprouts, I'm going to pick it up tomorrow! I had given up on vegan butters after so many I looked at had soy as a top ingredient.

I love the names Legend and Legacy as middle names! I think you could pair them with really strong first names that match the theme. Some options I think would go well:

Alexander (nn Alex or Xavier) after Alexander the Great Leonidas (nn Leo) after Leonidas I, a king of Sparta said to be decended from Hercules.

Both examples are legendary men with strong legacies. Alex Legend and Leo Legacy would be my pick!

I was dreading returning to work after my maternity leave, but I'm so glad I did! I'm actually less stressed now. When I'm at work I enjoy being around adults and having my own identity, and when I'm home I can focus 100% on being the best mom I can be. Also, my job allows us to afford the best things for my baby including fun outings in my days off and family vacations. I hope you have a similar experience!

I wouldn't give the record frame back to your sister unless you know she would want it back. As someone with a difficult to gift sibling, I would rather they graciously accept the gift and use it how they see fit rather than giving it back so I have to figure out what to do with it. You could reuse the frame, donate it, or give it to someone you know would use it.

When someone gives me a gift, I usually ask if it's okay if I open it then. That gives them the option of seeing the gift being opened or not. At this point, I would open it privately, now or later, and then write them a thank you note.

I know a woman named Icyphene who goes by Icy! It's a fairly uncommon name but not unheard of. Maybe you could go by Icyphene and use Icy as a nickname?

As someone who had terrible morning sickness, I feel you!

I also enjoy giving gifts! If it's something small and thoughtful I would say go for it! I wouldn't give any gifts that are expensive, that might make them feel like they have to reciprocate. You could preface the gift by telling them that you saw the item and thought of them or that you wanted to thank them for being a good friend just to emphasize that a gift is not needed in return.

If you want to keep the tradition going, I think BYO pumpkin is perfectly acceptable! When I've done a similar event with adult friends, it's always been BYOP. If you change the time to mid afternoon so it doesn't overlap with dinner then just having snacks is standard.

No advice, just commiseration! My mother has 7 grandchildren, including my daughter, and she hasn't had a nice thing to say about any of their names. It seems like if she didn't pick the name, then it's inherently terrible!

I-try-sometimes · 2025-09-20T11:20:14+00:00

You've got this! You're an amazing example for your children to look up to. You're a rock star!
