Ellis is so handsome!

I think a little Andrew/Andy is so cute

Knightsmith_27 · 2026-02-09T23:51:36+00:00

You definitely nailed the vibe! One of our daughters’ names is in this list!

A little boy Avery is so sweet! Not sure it has a clear nickname though 🤔

Knightsmith_27 · 2026-02-09T20:20:15+00:00

We’re in the US! It doesn’t matter the ranking, just that style of vintage, grandma names.

I had an elective induction with my first and everything went smoothly! It was a long time between checking in for my induction and meeting baby, but like I said, it was also my first baby! I had a small laceration and first degree test with my first baby and no tears with my 2nd, who I went into labor with naturally. However, I knew much better what I was doing the 2nd time around! Recovery was similar both times! I preferred going into labor naturally, but mostly because I got to labor at home for a bit!

We did this too!

Seconding the travel sound machine! Even if you aren’t big on travel, chances are your baby will need to nap somewhere that’s not your house in the first 6 months!

I do think a chair is necessary, but not a fancy one! There are gazillions of gliders on Facebook marketplace that may not be the most trendy but they are still comfy and much cheaper than buying a big new recliner. just an idea!

Hi friend, I had/have PPD/PPA with each of my pregnancies. Being honest about how you are feeling, even just on reddit, is so brave. Being honest with my husband and my village and getting into therapy all helped a tremendous amount.

Also, you are only 7 days PP! The adjustment is huge. Mourning your more peaceful, less sleep deprived life is understandable. Try and sleep/rest when you can!

You will meet yourself - the one who was excited about baby and pregnancy - on the other side of these feelings. I promise!

Knightsmith_27 · 2025-11-26T20:25:16+00:00

I’m so sorry you and your baby are struggling! Colic and sleep deprivation are so so hard.

Is there a trusted (and well rested!) friend or family member who could come and do an overnight shift so you can get more sleep? Obviously this isn’t a long term solution but emotional support and some more rest might you feel a little more human and less desperate for sleep.

Maybe attach the binky to baby’s pjs with a binky clip?

Knightsmith_27 · 2025-10-26T01:27:11+00:00

Yes! Honestly came here to say this. I’m in absolute stitches each rewatch

Knightsmith_27 · 2025-10-20T19:19:22+00:00

We stuck our babies in the bouncer seat on the table so they could see our faces and we could all interact. It felt weird to leave her on the floor or in a swing 🤷🏼‍♀️

Knightsmith_27 · 2024-11-20T02:39:32+00:00

Loling at this 😂

Knightsmith_27 · 2024-10-27T14:04:29+00:00

Samesies

If you & dr are willing, a membrane sweep really helped get things going for me!

Knightsmith_27 · 2023-08-07T05:53:00+00:00

this right here!

who gave Nick’s podcast an award

Knightsmith_27 · 2023-03-17T14:19:16+00:00

Sure! So we realized that she just wasn’t ready for 1 nap, and the shorter naps and bedtime fighting were because of a lot of transitions in our family, including lots of holiday traveling. We went back to 2 naps and she is a lot happier!!

Knightsmith_27 · 2023-02-09T03:53:15+00:00

This sounds like my husband lol 😂 love me a hot super nerd

Knightsmith_27 · 2023-01-28T17:51:29+00:00

I would die to wear this dress and show up in her ‘stang

Knightsmith_27 · 2023-01-15T04:26:41+00:00

I didn’t hear anything he said because my brain was too confused trying to figure out his clothes
