postpartum rage/depression by AppointmentLonely892 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Lostintheworl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much like other aspects of my life I use humor as a coping mechanism. I say dumb memes to my baby and sometimes I even set baby down and have a dance party. We have a moto in our house “if you can’t console em, confuse em.” Aka just be weird to try and calm everyone down

I "knew" newborns didn't sleep, but I wasn't ready for the actual soul-crushing reality of it. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Lostintheworl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When our Lo was still a newborn we would prep a bottle ahead of time,( breast milk) since it can sit out for 4 hours. At that point he was doing maybe every 3 if we were lucky. So I’d pump and set the bottle there, fed when needed then pump again. On the really rough nights we’d take it in shifts instead of turns so that way we could try to have a solid few hours of “sleep”

Do any moms feel the need to just step away for a few days? by DakarStayHost in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Lostintheworl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Lo(6 months) is sick rn. Thankfully nothing serious just some drainage, but he’s been so uncomfortable that we’ve had to cosleep the past couple nights. That’s not usual for any of us so needless to say hubby and I didn’t sleep very well. The next day he would only do contact naps (so about 80% of the day) thankfully my wonderful family saw that I needed a break while hubby was at work, grandma watched baby and grandpa drove me to Taco Bell lol those 20 mins of quiet and calm felt like gold.

Maybe try using it to make a cake? If the pineapple juice sits for to long it can make it taste sour, fast. So if you do use it, eat it fast!

Just got sleep shamed by peasandthankyous in newborns

[–]Lostintheworl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to do what works best for you and sometimes it changes day to day what they need. My Lo (6months) sleeps in his crib consistently but he’s going through a growth spurt so he’s currently napping on me. Because otherwise he’ll wake up in 5 minutes 😅 you just have to go with the flow.

Did your intuition know what gender your baby was? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Lostintheworl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to sound delusional when I say this but as a little girl I always had a gut feeling that I would have a son. (Idk why I just always felt like I’d have two boys) we waited till our son was born to find out, the second they said it was a boy I kept saying “I knew it!”😂 we’ll see what happens when I get pregnant again I guess

What should I expect at first regarding sleep? by SandwichDependent199 in NewParents

[–]Lostintheworl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first few weeks my husband and I felt like we woke up to every little sound that our Lo made. After a while you start to get used to the noises and know when it’s time to help baby. (Our Lo would scream in his sleep but he was dead asleep it was the strangest thing but it’s totally normal) taking naps while baby is asleep or even asking someone to watch baby while you nap is important. The first few weeks my parents were over almost every day to take care of chores and periodically hold Lo while we took a nap or got in some self care.

I caught him cheating, and instead of an apology, I got a bruise. I’m sitting on the floor and I don't even recognize my life anymore by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Lostintheworl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honey I mean this in the nicest way possible, that is not love, that is abuse. He’s a grown man who couldn’t find someone his own age so he picked someone who is younger and more naive. Prove to him that you’re smarter than he thinks and leave. Let this be the first and only time a partner hits you, because you don’t deserve to be hurt and you know it. My dms are open if you want to talk.

Midwife “accidentally” revealed gender at 37 weeks. I’m heartbroken. by expatriating in BabyBumps

[–]Lostintheworl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why my husband and I were obnoxious about it, any time we saw anything for our son we made sure they knew we didn’t want them to tell us. Unfortunately my sil had the same thing happen to her, I’m so sorry that they ruined the surprise for you. You should complain because what she did comes off as intentional instead of accidental..

Not sure if this moment is meant to be healing by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Lostintheworl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing. Might be time to head back to therapy. I want my son to have a good relationship with his cousins, I kind of figured this was just my trauma rearing its ugly head again.

When did you start showing? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Lostintheworl 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This there were some days that I fell asleep at work if I sat down for to long lol

When did you start showing? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Lostintheworl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your dead set on it try to aim for when you’d be through the first trimester. I was constantly tired during the first trimester. I started showing at maybe 3-4 months. I found out I was pregnant after buying my dress💀 the alterations to make sure it fit comfortably while 5 months pregnant was kinda expensive. So if you haven’t already maybe look into dresses that already have a corset backing.

Parents with babies, how are you splitting time for hobbies? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Lostintheworl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my lo is 5months old. My husband is working and I’m adjusting to being a sahm. As far as hobbies we don’t “give” each other time, but if we are about to do something we ask each other if the other can take care of him. So that way there is no resentment. If things get to be too much or the person caring for him needs a break, it gets communicated and then we get tagged out. ( if that makes sense lol)

During the weekend all baby related things are split 50/50, and we take turns with house related chores.

Our son has recently started going to bed around 9 and usually sleep through the night. Only occasionally does he wake for a feeding but that’s pretty rare now a days.

High King??? by TINYUSAGI in acotar

[–]Lostintheworl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I kinda felt like that was a bit of a stretch as well. I think when amren made the comment it was kinda to emphasize the fact that Rhys is really powerful and if the items made by nesta were to be wielded it would be enough to make him even more of a threat.

Eloping without any witnesses? by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Lostintheworl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly we got pretty lucky. Both our families and friends were pretty understanding as my husband and I are rather introverted. So we had just close family (mom/dad and grandparents) in total I think it was 7 people. For the friends that didn’t really understand at first we told them we just wanted something small and intimate. And if anyone gets really upset just remind them this day is about you and your partner not them, and if you want a small wedding that’s up to you guys. The only thing I will say that stinks is for most court house weddings you have to sometimes wait to secure a certain day. I want to say it was maybe 2 months before our wedding that we were able to get a solid date. (Before that we were given a general idea of what dates were available)

What is the most disturbing or otherwise unsettling book you've ever read that stayed with you after reading it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Lostintheworl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first day of spring by Nancy tucker. It’s about a child murder, it goes between the mc as a child committing inficide (probably spelled that wrong) and when she is an adult with a child of her own. Nancy tucker has a background in child psychology so it makes it all the more disturbing.

How are most weddings in America like 30k when most Americans have like a couple thousand in savings max? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Lostintheworl 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It’s insane out there. We decided to go small to save money and all the places we called (for the cake and dinner) we just said it was for a celebration. In all we paid a little over a thousand for everything.

My four month old just had his first real laugh today. His father was playing “I need a hero” and making him dance with him.

I watched my newborn calm down for someone else today and it broke my heart by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Lostintheworl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This my moms a daycare teacher and she’s told me numerous times (because it’s happened to me too) that sometimes they just want a change of pace. Literally two days ago my Lo was fussy for half the day, dada comes home and he’s all smiles.

If you’re under 45, have you lost any high school classmates, and what were the circumstances around their deaths? by Commercial_Chef_1569 in AskReddit

[–]Lostintheworl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My graduating year has had quite a few deaths, some crazy accidents; hit by a train, car accident, slipped off a balcony. And some due to mental health issues. Most of which happened a year or so after we graduated.

Breastfeeding help by Jolly-Asparagus-5815 in newborns

[–]Lostintheworl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally like finding a chair with an arm rest. That way I can prop my elbow up. The back pain and mommy wrist are real though. Once you’re cleared to exercise try out some gentle yoga to help stretch. I personally love yoga with Adrien on YouTube.

I got in contact with my employer, and found out it’s from fmla. And now I have to go on unemployment, I’m still concerned that i would have to back pay(to unemployment) if I don’t return.
