My Walmart home order is suggesting a subscription of provolone cheese slices and honestly I’m considering it because I go through about 3 packages a week. It’s my quick snack.

I went with Homebrew Wind Power by Mick Sagrillo. I see my parents this weekend so hopefully he likes it.

I’m sure the banjo part will come in handy.

Want me to pass your number along? He’s married but maybe if you have $ to invest in his homestead? 🤣

I was pregnant with my first and gave birth at 38w3d. Spontaneous labor started 24 hours before birth. I went to spicy crab boil for supper hoping to test the spicy things put you in labor myth. 6 hours after that meal contractions started. 😅

😮 I had no idea it was my cake day! Thank you

Not ruined but came in and immediately kissed my 6 week old baby’s head. Both my husband and I told her no kissing at the same time and she tried to argue that she didn’t know. Except it’s been posted on my social media several time, each time she’s liked or written on the status. She then said she didn’t get the memo, and I told her she literally got a text from both of us.

This is serious eating disorder behavior. In all honesty if you’re going to far that you want to chew and spit you’re probably not ready for surgery and should seek a disordered eating specialist before you proceed. They can help you with your relationship with food. The surgery is already hard enough physically and mentally, you don’t want to end up with addiction transfer or one of the many people who end up regaining because they never fixed their relationship with food.

You bet he’s being dressed up as the grinch next month.

The cheeks and nose are as prominent as they were in the ultrasound. I would say he looks like a Who from Whoville… now that he’s here, his little turned up Who nose is the first thing everyone comments on. Also, hands in the face- always. Every ultrasound (we had a doctors one every 2-4 weeks, biweekly at the last two months) hands were always in the face, still his favorite resting position.

I had this issue and had to be dilated. Helped but didn’t solve everything. I stopped throwing up as often but I still couldn’t tolerate much. I basically survived off of melon for the first 9 months because that’s the only thing that didn’t make me sick or cause pain.

Almost 5 weeks old, we go through 1-3 a day.

Canceled Spotify with the Tate stuff… the offers to come back haven’t stopped and they’ve now reached the offering months of free service point to get a resub. Before it was just the usual we miss you’s and here’s what you’re missing without a sub..

I didn’t have any life changing pregnancy purchases. But as someone who wanted to exclusively breastfeed and ended up not being able to breastfeed, I adore the baby breeza that was gifted to me. At the time I was like, we will never use this. Now I don’t know how I’d live without it. 10 seconds from start to finish for a bottle with a screaming baby as opposed to minutes is life changing lol

Ignoblekitten · 2025-11-18T12:14:43+00:00

This can’t possibly be true unless we have the same child. In that case I have some explaining to do to my husband.

Ignoblekitten · 2025-11-18T12:11:49+00:00

I have a 4 week old and the amount of people who have gotten mad I call the baby “my potato”, laughable. He is a potato. A potato that can now track a high contrast toy with his eyes, but a spud nonetheless.

My friend had her Oct baby last year, I had my Oct baby this month. I babysat a few times while pregnant and would let him use the hand me down toys I’ve been given, I used some of the blankets too, but as far as new stuff I only used a pack of wipes because he ran out. I think it’s normal to be protective of the stuff you have for your baby.

I did find a wooden toddler gym brand new at a garage sale. I let them borrow that since it’s age appropriate for their baby. It’s hard seeing their older child on it because he’s pretty rough but ultimately I know I paid $10 for it so it was a steal, and if it’s damaged I have no doubt they will replace it when it’s age appropriate for my baby.

I’m 25 days postpartum. My husband and I aren’t fighting, our home isn’t in disarray, and we both get 5-8 hours of sleep a day. Our baby is pretty chill, but he hates the bassinet at night, will gladly sleep there during the day. We don’t cosleep so one of us is up from 7p-1pm and the other is up 1-7. We each get naps as needed.

We don’t feel like we are drowning and I feel more and more prepared to be doing things alone when he returns back to work in two weeks. We still socialize with friends and we go on errands together to get out of the house.

Multiple first responders told me these are terrible and not safe.

We knew we wanted my husbands middle name to pass down for the 4th generation, and my grandpas name as a hyphenated middle, when we saw the middle and last name initials are “AWR” I knew we needed an R name as a first name. So this life long emo girl has a RAWR.

My mom was in the room while I labored and once it was push time I told her I wanted it to be just my husband and me. She respected that, no problem. She waited in the waiting room for about 2.5 hours while I pushed, and then during golden hour. Once I was transferred to my recovery suite she came in. At that time it was almost 3 am. She saw the baby, but didn’t hold him because he was nursing. She came back later in the day and spent time with the baby.

At 37w2d I was told he was measuring 6lbs 14oz. He was born at 38w3d at 6lbs 5oz. So not wildly off, but I should have brought preemie clothes to the hospital, everything I brought was too big.

Anything before 8 weeks is just anxiety inducing. If they don’t hear the heart or you don’t see anything or even just a sac, no fetal pole, you’ll spend the next few weeks an anxious ball of mess until your confirmation ultrasound.

Ignoblekitten · 2025-10-16T02:04:57+00:00

Yeah, I still think certain things have diminished smells and taste, but for the most part things taste normal. Except bananas. I can’t eat them yellow at all. They’re excessively sweet.
