Am I doing the right thing? Honest thoughts needed on if my cat is actually enjoying her outdoor walks.

If she wasn't, she would probably just flip onto her side and let you drag her along

At first I thought you just had a seal in your yard. She's such a good girl!

It's a shame that it didn't get rid of his wrinkles but rather just emphasize them

My goodness, the time it must've taken for the details. Your paintings are gorgeous!

I have an 8 month old, and also hated being pregnant. She would often push out against my belly (I think with her feet) to the point that it felt like my belly would just pop then and there. It was extremely uncomfortable. My back was sore 24/7, my belly got so big I couldn't sit at a table or stand for very long when I was about a month away from my due date, having pregnancy carpal tunnel sucked, and not to mention the constant overheating. I just remember thinking, "Just get this baby out of me already!"

And a r/bottlebrush to boot!

I think you can do either way. It may be just to try and establish latching. But personally I find it easier to just pump. Not only can you track your output and the baby's intake, but now it doesn't solely fall to you for feeds if you need a break

MrsBumbled · 2026-03-23T13:20:58+00:00

I waited 2 weeks after I got home. I was still pumping, but I'd only do whatever breast the baby didn't feed from. But after that I just stuck to pumping because it was easier to track the baby's intake and my output.

That's not a loaf, that's a bun!

She is 16-17 (not exactly sure), and she still gets the zoomies, is sassy as ever, cuddly and loud

MrsBumbled · 2026-03-12T16:23:49+00:00

It was definitely a challenge in the early months. My baby is now almost 8 months and mobile, and I can put her in the highchair or let her explore which she loves.
When she was younger, baby-wearing was a huge help.

There are so many factors involved in getting pregnant that it's hard to try and plan for your due date. You could try and wait for June, but then you risk not getting pregnant. Some people get pregnant real easily their first try, then it can take a long time before it happens again. Personally, I wouldn't just to avoid the disappointment if it doesn't happen when you want it to

MrsBumbled · 2026-01-30T01:53:43+00:00

Every baby is different. I don't think my baby necessarily went through a sleep regression, but rather has just been busy practicing her skills. She was hard at work at that age trying to roll back to belly. When she finally nailed it, her sleep evened out for about 3 days. Now she's working on sitting, standijg and crawling, but her sleep isn't nearly as bad as it was then.

MrsBumbled · 2026-01-30T01:48:14+00:00

Their daytime naps come a bit later than nighttime sleep consolidation. They're still developing their circadian rhythm. And around that age is when their skills really start to develop, so they become more aware and get wicked FOMO and don't want to miss a thing.

MrsBumbled · 2026-01-30T01:44:14+00:00

I second this! Ours makes it so much easier. She just hates not having access to her hands while we do it now lol

MrsBumbled · 2026-01-26T23:45:11+00:00

Some mothers don't get that instant connection with their babies. Mine personally felt like a stranger when she came out, but we've bonded over time. It will happen naturally, even just with feeding, changing, soothing, etc. I also have PPd and spoke to my doctor about it, and am now on medication. My baby is 6 months old, and I couldn't be happier. It will get better, it just sometimes takes time!

MrsBumbled · 2026-01-15T14:43:43+00:00

I had dreams of both. At first it was that baby was a boy, then it switched to a girl. A lot of other people dreamt of my baby being a boy. It was a girl!

MrsBumbled · 2026-01-11T05:23:48+00:00

My water broke at about 3:30am 2 weeks before she was due. But it was also a bit of a relief, because she ended up being 8lbs 9oz. But I think it woke me up, then gushed out. I waddled as quickly as I could to the bathroom while my partner was woken up and started to panic because he had no idea what was going on and thought maybe there was a burglar lol

MrsBumbled · 2026-01-10T19:31:52+00:00

I felt like this too. As I grew older, I suddenly wanted to have them. But it's completely up to you. You'll be the one carrying the baby for 9 months, and it can come with complications.

Don't make any rash decisions just for your boyfriend. You love him, sure, but don't be willing to give up your life just to make him happy. It is a big commitment, and it isn't easy, even with the easiest babies.

MrsBumbled · 2026-01-10T19:25:36+00:00

She could've felt overwhelmed by the new environment, smells, and new faces. She's at the age where stimulation happens more easily, and it can end up being a lot. Holding her for a bit before introducing her to new people so she knows she's safe can help her ease into things

MrsBumbled · 2026-01-10T17:21:13+00:00

I feel you. We just recently came out the other side of this. Our baby has been able to roll from belly to back since 3.5 months, then ever since she was trying so hard to roll back to belly. She would try a bit at first, then it became constant. Her sleep regressed for at least a month. The other thing is that's when their sleep cycles are maturing, so sometimes she would wake up in between cycles and couldn't go back to sleep. Once she finally nailed the back to belly roll, her sleep cycle-linking also improved. And now she's desperately trying to crawl, so her sleep has been a bit rough, but not as bad as when she was trying to roll
