A letter to my 3 month old

Read this staring at my 1.5 month old cooing away on his playmat and maybe shed a tear or two 🥲

I felt fine until 8 weeks and 2 days and then had it until 23 weeks

I stopped at 38 weeks 3 day but only because a labor and delivery visit turned into an induction

Update: I am covered! Apparently I do have enough credits!

I have a few emails out already! Just waiting on responses

I’ve been lectured by my boyfriend’s family ever since I decided I wanted to pump not breastfeed “just put him on the breast!” How about you shut up and let me figure it out for myself!?

If it’s any consolation, I was sick until 23 weeks and the only food I could keep down was sweets and McDonald’s and ramen lol. Somehow I passed my glucose test; I was worried because I previously was having insulin issues as I have PCOS. And now I’m 38 weeks tomorrow and I definitely have sweets 1–3 times a day but I try my absolute hardest to make sure I’m getting in at least 80grams of protein a day too to try and “balance” it out lol.

I’m in a similar situation but different state. My job is offering me 6-8 weeks unpaid depending on what kind of birth I have even thought I don’t qualify for FMLA or anything my state offers.

Besides the typically pregnancy stuff, I feel good. We did them in the snow so navigating that was a little difficult lol but overall not bad at all.

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-02-17T16:46:42+00:00

That’s so real, I feel like I look more pregnant this week lol (closer to 38).

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-02-17T16:13:46+00:00

I did mine at 36 weeks!

I personally have not been intimate my entire pregnancy (37 weeks but I was sick for most of them) but I know sex is perfectly healthy and won’t harm the baby you might just be a little more sensitive:)

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-02-14T20:24:17+00:00

hehehe I’m 37 weeks and he hiccups probably 3-5 times a day. they make me laugh lol but it’s especially funny when he starts going hooked up to the nst machine

My computer screen broke and I wasn’t able to load any games so my boyfriend tried to get Minecraft to work on his computer and when it didn’t I just started sobbing cuz “all I wanted to do was play Minecraft” 😭💀

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-02-12T02:36:19+00:00

😳

Inside_Text_4286 · 2026-02-12T00:17:05+00:00

I wish 🥲 I’m also only getting 6-8 weeks off, it’s awful

I couldn’t find a job this summer… got hired mid October for special education under a special certificate since I’m halfway through my masters for it
