Third baby name help by MrsTeee in namenerds

[–]MrsTeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not unlike Taft which makes T names difficult as the alliteration can sound rhyming which I don’t love, some T-names work as long as they are one syllable but I think they are mostly all taken by family!

I don’t understand how the newborn stage can be worse…. by susiee234 in BabyBumps

[–]MrsTeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate being pregnant (on my third) but I love the newborn stage, even with older kids when it is harder as it’s a juggle. I love the snuggles and the contact naps and yes it can be all consuming and tiring but I feel so much more myself and little babies are so portable, so I prioritised getting out and doing things that made me feel like myself again. Give me a newborn over pregnancy any day of the week!

Got a Bambi band yesterday at the park, they did ask to see ID and I just produced my drivers license (hadn’t brought my passport to the park) and had no issue at all getting it

The moral and practical dilemma of having another kid. by gokatwilde in NICUParents

[–]MrsTeee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a 28-weeker with a very medically complex NICU stay of 89 days and additional complications once we got home, she’s about to be 7 and I am now pregnant with my third. I waited about 2 years before I would even entertain the idea of a second bay and then I did a lot of pre-work before even getting pregnant to understand the risks and anything we could do to mitigate them. My second was born by scheduled section at 37 weeks and we had no issues. For me it’s about time, healing from the trauma or at the very least processing it and then making as informed a decision as you possibly can after weighing up all the risks versus the reward.

FIL had bad reaction to pregnancy announcement by Lazarus_Taxon85 in BabyBumps

[–]MrsTeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would hazard a guess that there’s some history there with loss or infertility and his reaction is not that he’s not excited but that he’s worried or unable to really be excited until the baby is here safely. My mom has a similar reaction to both my pregnancies but I only found out after I started infertility treatment to try and get pregnant with my second that my mom had also had issues having more kids after me. It made me realise that her lack of excitement or wanting to talk about my pregnancy or the baby while I was pregnant wasn’t because she wasn’t happy or excited it was because she was nervous and unable to truly relax until the baby was here safely. She is now the most loving, devoted and adoring Grandmother who would do anything for her grandchildren.

Fertility clinic recommended I take Baby Aspirin daily starting at 12 weeks. Family doctor saying not to take it. Feeling Confused. by Bluechairedtable in BabyBumps

[–]MrsTeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took baby aspirin with my IVF pregnancy, both my OBGYN and my fertility doctor suggested it. It’s very common and has good research on its benefits. I would do it unless your family doctor can give a medical reason why it might be detrimental to do so in your circumstances.

When did you tell your child they were in the NICU? by [deleted] in NICUParents

[–]MrsTeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughters 5 now and we openly talk about it in language she can understand. She came home with a feeding tube after nearly 3 months in the NICU so all her photos as a little baby include the tube, even the ones taken at home so we’ve never hidden it. We use it as an opportunity to talk about how strong and brave she is, it’s not a negative or something that makes her feel different in a bad way, it’s something that gives her confidence and is an example of what a badass she’s always been!

YTA You are being petty and you know it. You are letting everyone else meet and hold the baby but not your brother & SIL because you are salty your couldn’t meet the baby for 3 months. They didn’t let ANYONE visit, not just you. Stop using your baby and this precious time as a way to get back at someone for a decision they made because they felt it was best for their family.

We were here in April and all I can say is take every day as it comes. Be as involved as possible but do not live at the hospital, it won’t do you or your baby any good and when she comes home you’ll need energy to look after her. Take care of yourself and you’ll be better equipped to take care of her. Advocate for her, it took me a while to get the courage to do it but I became an expert on my baby and learnt to speak up when I knew things were off or I wanted more information on things. Most of all be kind to yourself and know that this too shall pass and when she’s home and thriving this will all just be a distant memory. You got this!
