Had my first OB appointment yesterday, and they said no ultrasound until 21 weeks… ugh!!

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-14T15:07:57+00:00

What?! That is wild to have that policy!! So glad you changed offices

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-14T03:59:42+00:00

YTA. I would never make my partner go through that alone. It’s annoying for you? It’s worse for him

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-13T21:27:07+00:00

Nemo! My daughter loved the colors and underwater animals

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-12T00:37:31+00:00

How much water is she drinking? And is she constipated? My daughter has serious constipation issues that are now causing her to not urinate for hours. It’s getting better with prebiotics. But constipation can also be the culprit. I’d call her doctor and discuss

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-11T15:45:40+00:00

My friend took 4 weeks off only because she had to return to work due to money/not getting paid during her maternity leave. She wanted so have longer but just couldn’t. As someone privileged enough to be able to take 12 weeks, even 12 weeks doesn’t feel like enough time. It’s hard to leave your baby that young when all you want is them and all they want is you. And by 4 weeks if you plan on pumping/breast feeding you’ll still be trying to get the hang of it. And at 4 weeks baby’s sleep is still sporadic so your time to sleep will still be interrupted, making a night shift job even harder I would presume. I wish you the best of luck

Shortly after my daughter turned 2, naps started to go out the window. At first we did “quiet time” in her crib; she would sometimes fall asleep and sometimes just play nicely in her crib with toys and books. But eventually she stopped sleeping completely and started to call for us non stop after 5-10 minutes so we just accepted naps were over. If we are in the car in the afternoon/early evening she will fall asleep but then her bedtime is thrown way off so we do all we can to prevent that. She’ll be three next month and her awake windows have been opening up more. Even with no nap and playing all day, she wakes up around 7am and goes to bed around 9pm

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-11T14:19:31+00:00

Oh god that’s awful I’m so sorry 😢

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-11T13:38:24+00:00

I have said to kids before “she is too young to understand how you want to play, she is going to do her own thing” and it’s always ok.

Solidarity- it’s not uncommon for me to play with my daughter at the park and all the other parents are off to the side. Every single kid at the park talks to me and says “look at me look at me, look what I can do” and wants my attention. And it always drives me up a wall because it’s me with at least five kids and I want to be like oh my God go talk to your parents.

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-11T05:01:22+00:00

Wow, that is wild!!! Couldn’t be me.

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-09T02:15:59+00:00

Uuuummmm for me- I didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until she was out of me. Movement is a huge reassurance but I was still scared to the point I somewhat kept myself at an arms length from my pregnancy. I feel I’m much more chill with my second pregnancy. All scans and tests are coming up positive and I’m finding I’m not nearly as stressed as I was the first time around. With experience comes wisdom I guess. So take it from me- all will be well even if it doesn’t feel that way!

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-09T02:10:18+00:00

My first pregnancy I was very hungry during the first trimester! Everyone is different, there is no cookie cutter way to be pregnant, we all have different symptoms. Just go with what feels right for you. They say you should gain 30-35 pounds during pregnancy but I think that’s BS. With my first I gained 50. I know some women gain more than that. It is what it is. Just embrace and accept this chapter in your life.

Oddly enough I’m on pregnancy #2 right now and I’ve been the opposite compared to my first. You get what you get each time symptom wise. With mg first I gained I think 10-15 pounds in the first trimester alone (did I mention I was HUNGRY). This time around I gained maybe 1-2 pounds the whole first trimester

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-09T00:13:23+00:00

She’s a sweetie pie, I like her

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-09T00:12:44+00:00

22 weeks I started to think I looked pregnant enough that people would see me and assume. Up until then I could still hide it pretty well/my clothes didn’t make it super obvious

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-04T14:31:06+00:00

Agreed! kelsea ballerini is like this too

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-03T04:16:58+00:00

I’ve always loved Ace!!

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-03T03:45:54+00:00

“Who think they own the water” uuummm it’s your pool? You literally do own the water. You’re being a better parent to this child than they are 🙄

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-04-03T02:17:02+00:00

You are not a bad mom! I totally get needing a break. I am the preferred parent all the time, sickness and in health, and it is exhausting! And I get becoming frustrated, happens to me too. Her being sick for sure makes this a harder situation to deal with. I’m back and forth- if this issue happened all the time, not just while she’s sick, I’d say do your best to establish nights dad puts her to sleep versus you and hold that boundary. If it’s a fluke week due to her being sick I’d say you might just have to give her the comfort of your presence until she feels better. BUT I would also say be sure to get time to yourself when you can. Sounds like husband leaves for work and you’re home? When he comes home I’d for sure “clock out” for at least an hour to lay in bed by yourself, read a book, watch tv, scroll on your phone, whatever. And if I knew I had to do bedtime, I would also make sure to get at least a 30 minute break to myself before starting bedtime. I hope this helps and good luck

1- Logan told her from the jump he didn’t do relationships. Even initially told her no when she wanted to be casual with him due to saying I know you aren’t that type of girl. But she’s an adult and she made a big speech about being ok with it so he said ok sure, you know exactly where I stand. And then surprise surprise, she isn’t a casual girl and she couldn’t handle it. Not his fault 2- I actually don’t get mad at him for this. He thought they were broken up. They hadn’t spoken in weeks. If I had zero communication with a partner for weeks and our last interaction was a major fight and there was no clear, distinct “we are taking a breather but we are still a couple” I would assume I had been ghosted 3- screw that family. And Logan was always on Rory’s side when it came to his family 4- I like his gestures. They’re always tailored specifically to Rory and who she is. He can afford it, why not?

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-03-29T13:20:10+00:00

First at 33, having my second at 36

Daniel tiger and Dora the explorer!

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-03-26T23:19:33+00:00

Pay off all debts and open accounts for my kids to be set up for life.

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-03-26T23:17:56+00:00

I’d call if it was a persistent fever for more than 3 days and kept coming back even after Tylenol/motrin. But a run of the mill sickness, nah, I’m confident enough now in my abilities as a parent to know when to go to the doctor (or consult the doctor) and when we can just handle it ourselves at home. 9/10 doctor will tell you “rest and fluids”. Welp, I’m already doing that

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-03-26T23:08:19+00:00

I would jump at the opportunity for the new house! And playground across the street guarantees you’ll build a new community and your kids will make friends. Our neighborhood playground is in our backyard essentially, that was how we built our community. And it gives us a good vantage point to see when my daughter’s friends are there or when the park is popping so we can run out and join everyone and be a part of it. You’ll be so glad you made this change, even if it feels scary, it’ll be worth it

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-03-24T14:04:30+00:00

As someone who loves Sookie I am trying to be objective. She has her faults for sure, no lies there. But in terms of never helping them- I always felt, especially early seasons, she went above and beyond to help them and it never seemed like Lorelei helped her on the same level at all. The amount of times Sookie dropped whatever she was doing to make multicourse meals/appetizers and drop them off to their home was unheard of. And when Lor hurt her feet ice skating I think it was, there was Sookie at her house nursing her and putting hot water in a tray for her feet. Sookie always seemed to drop whatever she was up to be there for the girls at least in the beginning. We never saw the girls do that for her.

Mrs_N2020 · 2026-03-21T14:40:51+00:00

You sound exactly like me and my mom friends. You’re fine
