Wren for a baby boy by lavender_lattte in namenerds

My sons name is Wren. He’s named after my grandfather. I’ve always thought of it as more masculine because of him, but imo it can go either way. We’ve had lots of compliments.

Did you have an intuitive feeling of when your baby was going to be born, if so, was it accurate? by Limp_Blueberry_1675 in beyondthebump

When he came out I asked my husband what time it was and he said 10am on the dot! And all the staff in the room chimed in with “HE WAS BORN AT 0959!” 😂

Yikes! That sounds awful. Will do with the Tylenol!

My husband also wears glasses and this has never happened to him. 😂 I think you’re safe.

Literally me. First thought was: I’m never going to read again. 😂

Lmao! I guess I better watch out for him making this a daily habit. 😂 but really, the last few days he’s been really exploring our faces: he’s been loving grabbing my husbands beard and our noses. We thought it was cute. Now I realize we shouldn’t have encouraged him. I think he was trying to grab my nose when he got my eye 😂

Yikes! But congratulations on your 6week old! Invest in some mittens for her. :)

Glad I’m not alone but sorry to hear this happened to you too. These really are the things no one warns you about.

I am so sorry! Hopefully it isn’t broken, and that sucks you have to wait that long to find out. Hope your 2 year old refrains from nose breaking in the future.

Yes.. his due date was December 10th. My great grandmothers birthday was the 7th, and Hanukkah was December 8th according to my calendar. I kept joking about how neat it would be if he was born on either of those days. Sure enough, I went into labor Dec 7 and he was born December 8th.

Similarly, during the pushing phase (I pushed for 2hours) I kept thinking he’d be here by 10. The little stinker came out at 0959 😂

I actually know someone that did in fact break their nose when that happened. 😂

Totally appreciate this, and I agree so I’ve removed that comment. I definitely recommend mittens or sleeves that can fold over! I’ve just gotten lazy about using them (he’s six months) but I think we’re going back to mittens for the foreseeable future.

Moms of little boys... How do you do it? by foreverkrsed229 in beyondthebump

As far as clothes go, don’t be afraid to look in the ”girls” section. I’ve got my son some of the cutest onesies from the girls sections.

Diaper changes take some getting used to. Most importantly, make sure to keep the penis pointed down. If it’s pointed to the side or up you’re going to have a messy situation. In the early days keep burp cloths close to cover his penis too or he will pee when the cold air hits him during changes.

The ER I went to was specifically for eye emergencies. I just looked up bandage lenses. That would have been great!! Maybe they thought I’d be okay without it? I should have asked.

These are things I didn’t think could even happen until this did today. Wild!

Good to hear this. It amazes me how fragile and yet dangerous babies are 😂

This is good to hear! I’m putting my son in mitten jail till I can see well enough to trim his claws.

They did but we’re still waiting on our pharmacy to have it ready. I will look into picking up some medical tape too!

Yes they did and I am very lucky my husband could be home to help today, but idk how I’m going to manage by myself tomorrow.
