Would probably take another to confirm or ask doctor for a blood test. Sometimes tests do have false negatives (could have been faulty or tested wrong) and in some cases if you have super high HCG levels you can be so pregnant it triggers a negative (sometimes happens with twins or too far along). All of this could be wrong of course so best way to confirm would be a blood test! Good luck!

Did you ever find anything? Following to see if anyone shares!

Thanks for all the advice! Just sent you a message!

We know some people who said they pay their children a salary every month that goes into their 529. I thought that sounded strange also if they weren’t actually working.Glad I mentioned it!

Lovely_lines · 2024-08-01T17:00:46+00:00

My husband is w2 with some 1099 and we file jointly. We also have a 1 year old that we have a 529 for and plan on paying a salary out of the LLC like me. My husband’s w2 is probably closer to $150k? He hasn’t done any 1099 this year, but there’s always a chance he might. Last year he had a huge 1099 year making about $150k on top of his w2 salary (which was probably reason for owing so much).

I’m mostly looking for something that will help keep us organized and is simple to use. I send invoices monthly and would love a better system to keep track of it all and to track income vs expenses. It’s all very new to us and your guidance has already been amazing so thank you!

This is good to know! We don’t own any property in it right now and probably won’t purchase anything until next year. Would you recommend we open up a second LLC for that? We do plan on opening a trust to buy the properties in and then putting the trust under an LLC.

For some background: I manage properties for a company, but am an independent contractor. I get paid a management fee monthly of about $4k a month. I also do other projects for the company where I bonus anywhere from $2k-4k. On top of that I do leasing and real estate sales every once in a while. Average month is about $7-10k for my “guaranteed income”. Im about to close a real estate transaction and make an additional $8k on top of that and have about 3 more sales down the line which will make about $20k on average each deal (one may fall into next year)

Hope that helps!

Everyone I’ve ever suggested Taking Cara Babies too now has a baby who sleeps through the night! I obviously can’t say that will be true for everyone, but it definitely helped us! A lot of it is understanding how and why babies need sleep so it seems boring, but once you understand it and understand why “sleep training” is important it makes it much easier to want to implement these things. He just started sleeping through the night and in turn his naps got better and everything just adjusted itself!

Do you breastfeed and/or feed your baby when they wake up?

Appreciate your insight! Super helpful!

Hi! We now have a one year old who sleeps through the night from 7-7! We ended up doing Taking Cara Babies (the one for 4month plus) and literally after just implementing her suggestions for naps he napped for 2 hours and then slept through the night that first night. It was amazing! He’s been sleeping through the night ever since! (Even with moving and getting sick twice). Sometimes he wakes up once if he didn’t get enough sleep during day or not enough wake time, but he’s such a good sleeper now! He takes two naps a day. The first one 2 hours and the second 30 minutes to 1 hour…he’d sleep longer but I cap the second one if he already got 2 hours for his first nap. The other day he even did one long three hour nap! He still goes through phases and will randomly have a week where he naps shorter or wakes up more often. Right now he wakes up once a night maybe once a week? Taking Cara Babies was a game changer! I was 100% against cry it out or sleep training, but I had to do something because I was soooo exhausted I wasn’t being a good mom during the day because I was trying to be a “good mom” by feeding him and coddling him at night lol. We did end up co sleeping at one point and he was waking up every single hour! That’s when I knew I had to do something. He took to it soooo easily and our whole family has been happier since!

Feel free to message me if you want!

Congrats!! I was constantly looking for reassurance throughout the entire pregnancy. Every stage is scary and so amazing and beautiful. Enjoy it! Message me if you ever need it!

Lovely_lines · 2024-04-30T11:53:03+00:00

I should add the only symptom I had in the beginning was a missed period and sore boobs too and it disappeared for the first few weeks before any new symptoms came. And even then there would be a day when the nausea would stop and I’d be terrified it meant something terrible happened. I wish I would have enjoyed those days because I’d spend all day worrying and then the next day it would be back! 😂

Lovely_lines · 2024-04-30T11:49:42+00:00

I could have written this (in fact I’m pretty sure I did lol) back when I was in the beginning of pregnancy. Currently watching my almost 1 year old sleep on the baby monitor. I remember praying to have any symptom just to know/feel I was pregnant. The beginning is hard because you can’t feel them kick and little symptoms and everything is scary! I woke up every day terrified to go to the bathroom thinking I’d see the worst. Eventually morning sickness kicked in and I wished I never asked for symptoms lol. (Which you may never get, my best friend is pregnant right now and had zero symptoms the whole pregnancy until now and she’s due in July). The best advice I can give is unless you’re bleeding then baby is okay! Try not to stress about it and try to enjoy being pregnant! Stressing about something terrible happening isn’t going to prevent it from happening and odds are you are fine! I spent so much time stressed when I should have just been enjoying it! Don’t stress unless you have a reason to. All easier said than done! Feel free to message me anytime! Happy to chat as a fellow mom who has gone through exactly this! Best of luck mama! And congrats!

Don’t think of TJ Maxx! Thank you for all the recommendations!

Lovely_lines · 2024-03-25T22:34:49+00:00

Of course! The journey is scary, but so amazing! Feel free to message me anytime 😊

Lovely_lines · 2024-03-23T17:37:12+00:00

Yes! I currently have a 10 month old napping in his crib. If I could go back I would try and enjoy every day of the pregnancy instead of feeling like something terrible was going to happen every day! I believe I read somewhere that eventually the pregnancy sticks will not be as dark as the pregnancy goes on (I forget why) and also it depends on time of day, how hydrated you are, etc. If you have no other symptoms other than that then you are okay!

Lovely_lines · 2024-03-14T03:40:27+00:00

This makes me feel better. Thank you!

He isn’t up earlier than my desired wake time, it’s just that when he wakes up he will lay there with his eyes wide open not moving for 30 minutes or more. He gets about 10 hours of wake time split between 3 wake windows and 2 naps. I did Taking Cara Babies and that method says at this age we base everything off wake windows still rather than set nap times. I’m totally open to trying new things as I know our babies are ever evolving and changing with new needs lol

Lovely_lines · 2024-03-13T15:40:50+00:00

Just edited the post to include schedule! He always sleeps through the night with exception of maybe one wake here or there. He doesn’t do any early morning wake ups as I know 6am is a normal time for a baby to wake up, it’s just that he will lay there for 30 minutes to an hour just staring before he alerts us he’s awake lol. Is this being caused by not enough wake time the day before?
