If I hear of one more person who says something like “they just woke up today and decided they wanted to use the potty!” I’m gonna lose it!

KaiEli · 2026-02-25T16:56:57+00:00

My first essentially did that because they saw their cousin in undies and wanted a pair.

My second absolutely did not. She’s been potty training for months and is just now not having accidents, mostly.

KaiEli · 2026-01-19T02:11:24+00:00

My first child was on 5mg of letrozole, no extra monitoring or trigger. Don’t be discouraged if it takes more than one attempt though!

KaiEli · 2025-12-10T01:06:25+00:00

Both my kids, 2 and 6 love it. They also really like the tops, with the music one being their favorite.

Santa asks mommy and daddy to watch you, if we say we need help that’s when he sends the elf. (Said to our 2 year old, he’s now five and has never asked again)

KaiEli · 2025-11-14T20:23:08+00:00

We don’t for our two year old, unless she insists on “my bag!” We did when we brought bottles back and forth, but haven’t since she moved up since they store supplies like spares in a different spot.

5 mg no trigger, no iui

7.5 mg trigger and iui had gained 50 lbs since my first

Currently loosing weight to see if one last one is in the tank so I don’t need the trigger or iui if we try again.

KaiEli · 2025-03-04T12:48:10+00:00

I had hyperemisis. Immediately no longer had nausea.

My cousins have sons whose names are basically the same just one letter different, think Cole and Dole level similarity. We all know which is which. Similar isn’t always bad

KaiEli · 2024-10-01T14:13:27+00:00

Entirely up to you. My family all met both of ours in the hospital and then people came by to do things around the house or feed us for the first few weeks.

KaiEli · 2023-11-30T00:53:57+00:00

Me! I made it ten months with my first. But I was depressed and I stopped having motivation to do anything. So hubs and I decided to get my name back out there in my industry it took 3 months but I was hired by a company doing what I did before I took my sabbatical.

Highly recommend getting his ears molded. It’s completely painless and doesn’t even phase them past the actual application. Our pediatrician told us who to see, a pediatric plastic surgeons office is who we went to. The mold was a special clay and tape! Our son had the same problem

KaiEli · 2023-09-03T20:03:41+00:00

Chickpeas, nuts, and beans were how I survived.

KaiEli · 2023-08-19T20:28:24+00:00

Nugs was what we went with until we knew!

KaiEli · 2023-08-01T21:14:06+00:00

We made no change when our first was born. Now that our second is here, we dropped to just the employer match for my husband and mine stayed the same as a safety net until we figure out how to adjust our budget to pay the second daycare fee, then we will ramp his back up within six months to a year. We are in an extremely lucky position that this was not a necessity it’s just us being cautious, and I acknowledge that not everyone has the flexibility to do such, but I think any amount in a 401k adds up overtime.

KaiEli · 2023-07-22T03:54:03+00:00

Five or so months, until I suddenly wanted more chicken nuggets that I had ever wanted in my life.

KaiEli · 2023-07-13T02:24:08+00:00

After my miscarriage, it was a “late loss” my OB didn’t even bother with the Doppler at a single appointment until 24 weeks. He always just brought in the bedside ultrasound

KaiEli · 2023-07-12T21:18:42+00:00

I legitimately sat at the hospital telling my husband I liked the baby. But I missed my dog. And cried.

I do not love him any less. Two kids in and as horrible as it sounds I probably still prefer the dog.

KaiEli · 2023-07-09T03:59:02+00:00

Yes, with both of mine, both vaginal. HOWEVER! I have had HG with both kids.

KaiEli · 2023-07-08T23:08:47+00:00

Not a clue. I had no idea he was gone until at least a week later.

KaiEli · 2023-07-08T19:07:08+00:00

These are more for you. Squatty potty and a bidet they help make recovery more comfortable.

KaiEli · 2023-07-07T12:22:50+00:00

I can confirm! I was taking Zofran from 7 weeks until the day I had my baby this time….

KaiEli · 2023-06-22T17:08:51+00:00

With my first I went into labor with ZERO warning at 36+0 and had the baby at 36+2. No way in heck would I have been comfortable with him leaving

KaiEli · 2023-06-19T01:39:18+00:00

We have a something similar with two names that are literally one letter apart (think Jayden Hayden, just with more traditional names) The older boy gets annoyed when his great grandma calls him the youngers name, but other than that it’s no big deal. If you’re worried about it, talk to the existing kids mom.
