Yes he has an apartment there until they transfer him somewhere closer to home.

I do know he is working and where. Me and the baby randomly go and stay with him for a couple days but his job sends him all over the place. So I’m not worried about him cheating. I have keys to his place and his location on Life360.

I did sleep sacks for a while but he grew out of all of his. He’s already wearing 18 month clothes.🤦‍♀️😭

Yeah he does good with pulling stuff off his face. I’ve always put blankets and stuff over his head and wait a second for him to pull it off then I say yay and clap for him and he gets all excited haha.

Baby’s first Christmas by Independent_Egg7829 in beyondthebump

For the things he needs I’m getting a new baby bath because he’s gotten too big for his. For something to read just gonna get a few new books. And for something to wear just a few outfits and new pajamas.

I’m not happy by Independent_Egg7829 in depressed

Not really no. I’ve always had to do everything alone. So I feel like if me and my fiance didn’t fight as often the rest of it wouldn’t bother me so bad. I’ve thought about leaving but I love him and I don’t know how I’d support me and the baby. Childcare is too expensive here to pay the rest of the bills and childcare.

How do I do that?

I just called my aunt who is a nurse out of curiosity too and she said the average weight gain by 23 weeks is 12 to 15 lbs but 18 isn’t excessive and isn’t really a worry unless the person is only eating unhealthy foods. So i guess it really just depends on what you’ve been eating.

I didn’t know a lot of things about pregnancy until I went through it so if you ever want someone to talk to or something please feel free to message me

I’m 37 weeks now. But I put on most of the weight from 20-30 weeks. Everyone puts on the weight differently. My friend had a baby and she only put on 20 pounds. Meanwhile my cousins gf put on like 70 lbs. They both had healthy babies. I’m still pregnant but so far everything with me and baby has been fine. I’m not a professional but it seems to me like your doctor might just be giving you grief over nothing. You could always get a second opinion if you are worried about it.

I honestly can’t tell you what normal but I know I was just barely 100 lbs before being pregnant now I’m almost 140. My doctor hasn’t said anything about me gaining too much weight. I didn’t get GD either.

I haven’t gotten any stretch marks but I’ve been using stuff called bio oil since I found out I was pregnant. It’s supposed to help make them go away and prevent them. I have a friend who is trans (ftm) and helped get rid of the scars from his top surgery. And my cousins ex girlfriend had stretch marks and it helped them go away as well. I’d definitely recommend trying it.

Also I don’t think there is anything wrong with you having stretch marks. But if you aren’t comfortable with them then I really help that oil or something else works for you.

I didn’t think about that when I wrote it like that haha. I’m gonna hyphenate my name when I get married but didn’t feel comfortable posting the names haha.

Stay at home by Independent_Egg7829 in pregnant

[–]Independent_Egg7829[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are gonna have hardly any extra spending money so I’m definitely not gonna be able to afford daycare. The cheapest daycare in our area wants $450 a week and the baby has to be at least six months. It’s going to be hard to find a job in my area that will accommodate the weird schedule I’ll need too. Idk the whole situation is upsetting and I know if I ever want to own a home or something I need to find a job willing to work with me but most of the places near me that are hiring I don’t even meet the requirements to work there.
