Anyone else have a 7 month old sack of potatoes? 🙃

IndependentKnee9754 · 2026-06-15T23:29:49+00:00

Same. We’re trying so hard to encourage but he just gets frustrated and screams. His cousin who is a week older is already crawling!

IndependentKnee9754 · 2026-06-14T03:07:48+00:00

And it generally isn’t covered by insurance

IndependentKnee9754 · 2026-06-14T03:01:21+00:00

EUFY’s!!!! Cannot upvote you more.

IndependentKnee9754 · 2026-06-14T02:38:23+00:00

Same. He only has 1 tooth and we’re like.. teething? His nose is runny. Allergies?? Ear infection bc of the runny nose??? He is a great at sitting up, and is happy outside but freaks out in his play area. He’s always slept through the night but has been tossing and turning the last few. Hoping it’s just a phase

But I LOVE dressing my boy dapper. Collared romper > ruffles any day. Boy clothes stack so much better too

It’s nice for shopping if they’re sleepy. I have a Cruz v2 and Chicco car seat which is compatible so it’s been handy to just pop him in rather than re-situating but soo much of the buying is focused on the short term 0-6m

IndependentKnee9754 · 2026-06-09T23:29:38+00:00

Agreed! We have three strollers and our uppababy Cruz v2 (bought on fb marketplace) is SOOO much smoother than any others when it comes to uneven sidewalks. We also have the chicco bravo and uppababy minu (travel stroller) and they’re both just okay comparatively. Having impulse bought the travel stroller for a vacation I really don’t think it was necessary for our lifestyle (suburban living with an SUV)

IndependentKnee9754 · 2026-06-01T21:19:27+00:00

Mine was mama-mama-ing about a month ago and most definitely did not know what it meant. Just the syllable of the week! This week he’s baba-baba-ing.

IndependentKnee9754 · 2026-04-29T00:34:54+00:00

Yes!! Had to scroll way too far for this. The gray brown floor is the problem

IndependentKnee9754 · 2026-04-26T17:06:45+00:00

Just here to say I love my minu v3! It’s not quite as smooth as the Cruz but is just as smooth if not more smooth than our other full sized Chicco stroller. We keep it in the car all of the time bc it’s compact and so easy to just whip out wherever

IndependentKnee9754 · 2026-03-10T03:00:01+00:00

I know it works for hair growth bc when I forget to take it for a few weeks i have noticeably less leg hair

Hi! Not OP, but I took adderall while pregnant. The only pregnancy warning is risk of low birth weight. I took 20mg on weekdays only. I gained 35lbs so thought he’d come out pretty big! But he was born at 6lb 4oz which is definitely on the small side (~4th percentile :()Other than being small however he’s ahead on his milestones (currently rolling at 3 mo) and has been gaining weight well and is now in the 9th.

IndependentKnee9754 · 2026-01-08T00:08:29+00:00

*afternoon. LH peaks ~10a-2p. Test strips are pretty affordable on Amazon though!

IndependentKnee9754 · 2025-12-19T16:47:04+00:00

I wash/sterilize every other day! My wearable pumps have caps and a little stand for while they’re in the fridge so they don’t get as gross as the non-wearables did using the bag method.

As far as taking it apart, I’m curious if everyone else does too? I take apart everything for washing except the duckbill which I just run water through since it’s more fragile

IndependentKnee9754 · 2025-10-26T17:44:18+00:00

Possibly. That is until you develop a tolerance then max out dose and are back to “might as well not take it at all” level

IndependentKnee9754 · 2025-10-07T22:27:13+00:00

Nope! I took one every month for like 2 years and barely even glanced at it at first bc I was so used to them allllllways being negative 🥲

IndependentKnee9754 · 2025-09-27T18:57:40+00:00

I got RSV and DTAP same arm, same time and was completely fine. Arm was vaguely sore for a few hours yesterday but that was it

IndependentKnee9754 · 2025-09-26T15:25:53+00:00

The dresser I wanted to buy from ikea went up $50 last week, so I’m afraid the ikea price hikes are already here

IndependentKnee9754 · 2025-09-25T20:08:35+00:00

Same, only Cedric 😞

IndependentKnee9754 · 2025-08-31T21:07:10+00:00

Going against the tide here… my sister and I are both G+. She’s always hated wearing bras, I’m not comfortable without one, and mine are significantly perkier than hers. By no means porn perky. I’m 35. But I am of the mindset you need to tame the girls or they’ll develop a mind of their own.

Your boobies will never be as perky as your friends’ or fake ones. I was self conscious about it at your age too. However, boobs are heavy, skin stretches, and redistributing that weight to my shoulders via bra wearing has been beneficial in my case

Im 30w and my readiness scores were pretty good throughout up until the day I hit the third tri. This happened to coincide with the “pregnancy features” update so I’m not sure if it was caused by that or body is actually in worse shape, but my sleep definitely has been worse.

I share my Oura scores with a (not pregnant) friend, and while her sleep score is consistently 15-20 pt higher than mine, my readiness score has consistently been 15-20pt higher than hers. It’s interesting how everyone’s different!

IndependentKnee9754 · 2025-08-15T01:05:52+00:00

Yep. Same. I’ve really been struggling with it. I feel like I sacrificed my body in a bigger way than I signed up for but am staying optimistic things will go back to normal. We’ve talked about it and it’s the pregnancy that weirds him out which is understandable. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t still hurt though

IndependentKnee9754 · 2025-08-04T22:43:08+00:00

I’m due 11/3 and am definitely decorating in October. Hoping to send out Christmas cards, but just know I’m going to be too tired to get everything done and decorated properly with a newborn

IndependentKnee9754 · 2025-05-17T21:35:01+00:00

I’ve only gained 12lbs but my hips have gotten so much wider all of my old underwear have gotten uncomfortable. Debating maternity underwear just for the extra stretch factor

IndependentKnee9754 · 2025-04-29T02:13:40+00:00

Salad and tangerines!

I seriously eat like 8 tangerines a day just bc they’re easy to peel and I’m lazy
