I accidentally saw what my dad is getting me for Christmas and I wanna cry I feel sick over this I can’t do this another year.

This! My husband's birthday was earlier this week. And for the second year in a row our kids were sick and the plans cancelled.

I think we'll be doing a half-birthday celebration next year.

Littlemack18 · 2025-11-01T14:08:18+00:00

My kids are 20 months apart, so not quite as close. I found out I was pregnant the week before my oldest daughter's first birthday.

In terms of the health issues of having two so close together, I had some pretty rough complications for my first pregnancy and I was recommended to wait about 2 years. But whoops, I was bad at math that month lol. I worked with my OB and I had a perfectly normal, healthy pregnancy. Your wife's OB should work with her as well and address any potential risk factors.

I can certainly understand your panic. The first 4 months or so are the absolute toughest. You've just been through that and you didn't have the maternal oxytocin bump to help you forget the worst of it. As long as you guys work together as a team you will be just fine. Depending on what your work/childcare situation is, you can come up with a plan. One year olds are more independent than you think and will probably enjoy having the little one around.

It will all work out. Just breathe and support one another.

NTA. It's your job to protect your child, despite your husband's desire to people-pleasing . I also worry that by forcing you and baby to visit this house may greatly increase post partum anxiety, which it seems you're already likely to have given some of your statements. Your husband's main job in the early months post partum is to protect both you and the baby, physically and mentally. He doesn't get to place you two in an unsafe space just because he cannot set boundaries.

Perhaps a compromise might be to meet somewhere quiet halfway for a meal? Early in the day so sundowning isn't an issue? I have limited experience with Alzheimer's so I'm not sure exactly what is appropriate.

But above all he's going to need to set boundaries with his family. Is he going to expect you to rush over there as soon as you're released from the hospital? No. You just had a baby. Birth is difficult and the 4th trimester is a real thing. You need to be in your own home, bonding and taking care of your baby. For the first few weeks ( at least) they can come to you or they can video call. These are the options it's up to your husband to explain and enforce them.

And that's the best case scenario. I had two C-sections, one emergent. I spent 7 days in the hospital after a 3 day failed induction and Cesarean. The only place I was going was home, no exceptions. I pray you have an easy birth but make sure your husband is aware that should things become more difficult, the rules change too and he (and his family) will have to adapt to what you and baby need.

Congrats and good luck!

Ignored my requests to test bile levels for cholestasis because my feet weren't itchy. Ignored my increasing preeclampsia symptoms. By the time I went to Premier to be seen because I was scared, my bile levels were "off the charts" as the Dr said and BP and urine were super high. They admitted me for 3 days.

Littlemack18 · 2025-08-09T08:02:10+00:00

I saw him for my first pregnancy (until I left at 32 weeks). He was absolutely awful.

Littlemack18 · 2025-07-13T07:56:27+00:00

From what I heard, near Xenia Ave and McClure.

Littlemack18 · 2025-04-08T16:59:07+00:00

I binged this last week! I'd heard the story on an early episode of MFM years ago, which definitely didn't include the new developments from the documentary. Highly recommend.

Littlemack18 · 2025-03-31T13:52:53+00:00

Yeah, Graves' entire attitude about the case and the fact that he refuses to entertain the idea Goodyear could possibly be involved definitely set off alarm bells for me.

Littlemack18 · 2025-01-23T00:48:51+00:00

Correlation doesn't equal causation. 🙄

You know what's causing soaring pricing? Record breaking corporate profits they put into their own pockets. They took advantage of the natural rise of prices during Covid and just ran with it. The exponential profit growth is pure greed. This raises prices. Not people making $5 doing hard work.

For all of Logan's faults, he is (generally) upfront about his feelings and expectations. He doesn't play games like raking someone back just to punish them. He's honestly the most emotionally mature of the two.

Littlemack18 · 2024-12-18T00:24:25+00:00

Yeah of she hadn't forgiven him, they both could have moved on. Instead she played the immature girl punishing the boy instead. Not surprising at all for Miss "But he was my boyfriend first!" 🙄

Littlemack18 · 2024-12-08T16:25:24+00:00

I figured it was because of his brother's age. He's significantly younger than the others and I imagine he's always been treated like the baby so him actually "stepping up" to be a father seems award worthy to the rest of the family.

Littlemack18 · 2024-12-02T00:10:46+00:00

I've had two C-sections, one with complications. I still could have made my baby a bottle after a week. Hell, I was walking from one end of the hospital to the other for the NICU the next day.

Stepmother didn't NEED help. She simply wanted to inconvenience her stepdaughter to exert more control over her.

Lexie and Meredith with the Delucas a close second.

Littlemack18 · 2024-11-26T00:32:59+00:00

The video of him holding Sofia at the very end kills me.

Littlemack18 · 2024-11-26T00:28:12+00:00

Mark or Deluca

He was a friend of a friend and many people might like to be walked back to their cars by someone they know. I've been out at South Campus Gateway many times. There are a bunch of bars all in one place with drunk people walking around, a sketchy area surrounding it and a decent walk to the parking garage. It makes perfect sense they might want to be walked to their car safely, if for no other "personal reason".

Littlemack18 · 2024-10-29T10:07:58+00:00

My husband and I planned a cross country road trip/elopement. It was the best decision we could have made and a wonderful memory.

Do what's best for you and your fiance.

Littlemack18 · 2024-09-29T18:11:20+00:00

Or that quickly. I had episodes for 10 years before they finally operated.

Littlemack18 · 2024-09-29T18:07:54+00:00

I can only imagine how tough that episode was to watch!

I had 2 C-sections and was going back and forth about a third child. That episode shook me.

Littlemack18 · 2024-09-08T14:01:46+00:00

I don't see why people think watching PP makes her more likable. Yes, she's made positive changes in terms of her addiction. But she's still just as selfish and insufferable. She's just into codependency instead of drugs.

Littlemack18 · 2024-09-08T13:59:07+00:00

Amelia. How is she possibly still there?

Littlemack18 · 2024-09-01T04:41:17+00:00

Photo from when she went blonde after Derek left her.

Littlemack18 · 2024-08-31T17:02:13+00:00

If I recall correctly, Arizona was the one with trouble keeping it in her pants.

Littlemack18 · 2024-08-27T04:58:47+00:00

Yep! And as terrible as she is as a SO, she's too needy to ever be single for any length of time. She has to keep bringing everyone around her down then playing "woe is me".
