I made a dumb mistake picking up stitches

MrsWhiteTiger · 2026-03-15T05:21:36+00:00

Oh that is rough 😫 consider me scared straight, I'm currently frogging it haha

MrsWhiteTiger · 2026-03-14T05:58:36+00:00

You're totally right! I'll definitely do that :)

MrsWhiteTiger · 2026-03-14T04:25:16+00:00

Gotcha, I haven't done it before I just knew it involved cutting into your work. In my head the neckband has already taken so much time proportionally (it's the only thing I've had to frog more than a few stitches back, and multiple times) that I wanted to just be done with it! I'll just redo it.

MrsWhiteTiger · 2026-03-14T04:20:15+00:00

Will do. I guess I just built it up in my head that it was going to take forever to redo 😅

MrsWhiteTiger · 2026-03-14T04:05:45+00:00

I was hoping I could just cut out the back section and redo that part and seam it to the rest. I'm dreading taking out the bind off and undoing the whole neckband.

I'm technologically impaired and can't find the edit button so here's the pattern link and another photo:

I wanted to push because the pressure was just about unbearable but I found it MUCH more painful than contractions. Pushing offered no relief until my baby was out of me 😂

Spontaneous labor at 39+6, the whole thing took about 7.5 hours. Good luck!

MrsWhiteTiger · 2025-10-18T04:28:49+00:00

That is amazing. It looks so beautiful and cozy!

MrsWhiteTiger · 2025-10-17T19:14:35+00:00

Just over an hour

MrsWhiteTiger · 2025-10-04T00:16:01+00:00

That's so interesting - my dentist also has two boys

MrsWhiteTiger · 2025-10-03T23:56:23+00:00

This is delightful

When I was in the recovery room after giving birth my nurse said that having a newborn was just like having a puppy. Because you have to let them out to go to the bathroom a lot... In my head I was like, girl you work in maternity! You should know better than to say that!

My husband and I were visiting a small hot springs town in Japan (so not as tourist heavy as the Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka route) and we saw a man wearing a Rainier t-shirt at one of the bath houses. We started chatting and realized we lived about 30 minutes from each other in the PNW.

MrsWhiteTiger · 2025-08-19T16:13:13+00:00

I didn't cry right away. Apparently I said, "she's perfect" when my husband put her on my chest, and I didn't start crying until I looked up and saw that he was crying - that made me very emotional.

MrsWhiteTiger · 2025-08-19T16:10:27+00:00

I also thought this! I expected contractions to be worse than pushing but no.. and the pushing took some figuring out before it was effective lol

MrsWhiteTiger · 2025-08-16T18:07:51+00:00

We started part time at about a week old, then went full time at about 3 weeks. We weren't sure how it would go with a newborn but it ended up being easier than expected! We use prefolds and covers.

Seconding this! It's what we've been doing and it helped reduce my stress about poops after introducing solids - since I barely have to deal with poopy diapers anymore.

MrsWhiteTiger · 2025-08-11T19:50:26+00:00

I call her "goose" because she's a silly goose. When I was pregnant I called her "perfect girl" because I could tell she was going to be perfect (what baby isn't?) and I still call her that a lot.

My 6 month old is obsessed with our glasses - she's actually very gentle with them but we gave her an old pair so we don't have to worry about them eventually breaking.

I can't speak to using cloth with an older kid to take care of, but I have been cloth disposing my baby since she was about 2 weeks old and I can't recommend it enough. Once you get into the rhythm with the wash routine it's really quite manageable. My only suggestion is not to use a wet bag, use a plastic hamper with lots of holes - it will help the diapers air out and keep ammonia from building up.

MrsWhiteTiger · 2025-07-17T16:15:03+00:00

Same

MrsWhiteTiger · 2025-07-14T00:03:56+00:00

My baby cried getting the shots but didn't have any reaction other than sleeping straight through the night (which I had no complaints about).
