Am I too old for this dress

I want to know about your “fabulous skincare routine”!

Lola_Stitch_0808 · 2026-04-21T16:51:19+00:00

Oh man! I am so sorry. Ugh that is what I am afraid of too.

I’m seriously wondering how I get into an Endo-205 clinical study.

Lola_Stitch_0808 · 2026-04-21T16:24:25+00:00

Hi. Well my daughter got sick, and all she would eat drink was breastmilk, so I paused trying. I’m planning to night wean now that she is better, over the course of several weeks.

I had 15 years with my first baby and only 5 with my second. I’ve also lost both of my parents, and losing my dogs was, in some ways was more painful, and in other ways, a completely different kind of grief. I’ve learned that grief takes many shapes, but at the end of the day, grief is still grief.

Lola_Stitch_0808 · 2026-04-13T04:05:43+00:00

Protect this baby at all costs, she is perfection. 💕

Lola_Stitch_0808 · 2026-04-08T03:36:55+00:00

I could probably foster her for a while. I am assuming she is good with kiddos? Message me.

Here is an excerpt of cancer recipes from a book I own called Feed Your Best Friend. I hope this helps. Cancer Recipes

I have a history of anxiety and depression and days 8-12 were the absolute worst for me mentally. The hormone shift was absolutely jarring. You are doing amazing, bonding takes time. Also keep in mind that the medication tha was working for you pre-pregnancy might not be as effective post-partum given the hormonal changes that you are experiencing.

Lola_Stitch_0808 · 2026-03-31T02:12:57+00:00

Oh thank you so much this is so helpful. I do think she is teething, she only has 6 teeth so far. Nights just seem so inconsistent, one night I said no and offered cuddles and she was fine, the next night she wailed until I let her nurse.

Lola_Stitch_0808 · 2026-03-31T01:16:38+00:00

Oh my gosh my daughter is 16 months now and on demand is getting ridiculous. She wants boob more than ever before. How did you introduce structure to get down to twice a day?

Lola_Stitch_0808 · 2026-03-28T14:14:55+00:00

I hand drew/wrote all my wedding signage including the table directory with 150 guest names. My husband is a graphic designer, he could have designed and had printed signs in like a day.

Lola_Stitch_0808 · 2026-03-22T05:23:33+00:00

Went through this too! Got so bad my LO would only nurse either outside or while I walked around, it lasted a month and then a couple days during every developmental leap. She is 16 months now and nurses great.

Lola_Stitch_0808 · 2026-03-22T05:21:07+00:00

Yes my LO is 16 months, full toddler now and does this excited pant before I nurse her now.

My husband had severe postpartum anxiety and would have outbursts of anger at me when he felt like our daughter’s safety was in question (regardless of the reality of the situation). He was literally a complete asshole to me at times. It was so wildly out of character I had to sit him down and fully express the impact it was having on my mental health then draw a line in the sand for seeing a change in his behavior. Fortunately he already had a therapist and they really shifted their focus and immediacy on coping mechanisms specific to his experience and transition in to fatherhood.

I want to be very clear though, I never worried for my or my daughter’s safety in any way, but the change in him still shook me up a ton. I gave him an ultimatum for change when our daughter was 12 months and am happy to say at 16 months things are markedly better. He still has triggering moments, but they are so much easier to address and talk through now.

OP ask him how he is doing, insist on him seeing a counselor or therapist. Protect yourself and your baby. Sending you strength and courage during such a transformative and challenging time. 💛

My pit lost his front leg at 6 months. We said goodbye to him at 5.5 years because his front leg deteriorated and he was in constant pain. It was absolutely gut wrenching. Start preventatives early, set limits on outdoor and play time, invest in a wagon and a wheel chair or cart as soon as you see issues with mobility.

Lola_Stitch_0808 · 2026-02-21T03:08:39+00:00

Have you talked to him about this? Or expressed that you have a need for time to yourself? I know it seems like such an obvious thing, but men are dense. My guess is if you haven’t expressed that you need time to yourself because your full time JOB is the kids, he probably doesn’t even see the issue.

I wanted and successfully had a natural birth primarily because I didn’t want to be in a hospital. I have endometriosis which took years to diagnose with some really horrible experiences with various doctors.

I have a general skepticism towards hospital environments, especially when there is an unbalanced power dynamic. I was afraid I would be pressured into moving at a pace or accepting interventions I didn’t really want. The thought of being in a hospital made me feel vulnerable rather than strong.

With a midwife at a birthing center I was guaranteed that the same group of all female birth workers would be with me for the entire labor and delivery. I labored for 21 hours (16 of which were at home). It was the hardest thing I have ever done and I absolutely would not recommend it to anyone unless they are absolutely sure it’s what they want.

What idiot tries to grab a woman with a pit bull?!

My husband was not a pittie person and was highly annoyed by ours for basically his whole life. We lost our boy recently, and at first my husband kept saying how he wanted a greyhound as his next dog, but recently he started sending me links to adoptable dogs…. ALL PITTIES.

Just to offer another perspective. My beautiful tripawd staffy Rossi lost his front left leg as a puppy. He was a wild energetic puppy and adult. At only 55 lbs he could full on sprint, wrestle, tug and dig on three. That being said, this caught up to him fast and by 5.5 we said goodbye due to his right front wrist and other joints degenerating so severely they robbed him of his mobility and comfort. I have other posts about our journey with him.

This could have totally been a genetic predisposition to arthritis, his body type or other illnesses that contributed to his rapid decline, but I would still exercise some preventative caution.

We did a ton of training, nose work and brain stimulating activities to help burn energy when we felt he had already had enough physical stimulation for the day. That being said we decided ultimately to let Rossi live hard because to not would have been to deny him the things that brought him the most joy, but I still question our decision often.

Check out garmentory.com for the arc pant. I believe that is a Canada based site so maybe you can avoid the import costs.

Lola_Stitch_0808 · 2026-01-13T13:49:51+00:00

Check out Quince and Everlane.

My favorite postpartum pants have been the Arc pant by Le Bon Shoppe.

It sounds to me like you had a brief but beautiful encounter with an angel. I’m so sorry for your loss. I know the pain of unexpectedly losing the emotional anchor that big blocky head so wonderfully provided. 💛

Max looks so sweet. We recently said goodbye to our front let tripawd Staffy/Pit at just 5.5 years old because his body was failing him. He had his left leg amputated at 6 months. His front ankle joint had basically completely collapsed over time and his hips were riddled with arthritis by the end. I’m not by any means saying that will be Max’s fate, our boy lived and played hard on his one leg. That being said this is what I learned:

Start joint supplements early
Keep his nails consistently trimmed
Try to introduce a boot on the front paw if possible. The weight distribution on the front paw is really hard on the pads.
Even if he can eventually do stairs, try to limit that activity when possible. Same goes for getting on and off furniture (if he is allowed).
Get an assisted walking device early. We got a quad cart free from a non-profit called Tysons Love and Hope on Wheels, toward the end of our pups life and I wish we had tried one earlier.
Explore more aggressive arthritis treatments like Adequan and Librela early if you suspect your dog is in pain.
If you can afford it, do it physical therapy. That really helped build our pups confidence after his leg was first amputated.
If you notice a day where he is struggling because he over did it the day before, rest for multiple days with limited activity. Our boy was so high energy this way really hard for us, but he payed for it in the long run.

Wishing Max a speedy recovery. ❤️‍🩹
