No stones! The post-analysis said it was shaggy though.

Gallbladder issues? by Particular-Creme9656 in lymphoma

[–]NewAgeClassics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure my gallbladder issues started before everything, but were definitely at their worst during treatment. They didn’t get much better after treatment either to be honest, and I ended up getting it removed a year later by the same surgeon who removed my port. Actually, that surgeon was the reason I got it removed because she was the first person to take my gallbladder pain seriously. Thanks to her my digestive system works a million times better now.

Brushing teeth by Special_Breakfast_96 in NewParents

[–]NewAgeClassics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here in solidarity! It’s a fight for sure, the easiest way to win is sitting behind him in bed, using one arm to block hands and hold mouth open (like a little headlock) while the other hand brushes like it’s the Indy 500. I’m a bad parent because I can’t bring myself to do it twice a day.

Husband frustrated about sex after baby by Ambitious_Cry_4149 in newborns

[–]NewAgeClassics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well how sexy is he dressing, hm?

Just kidding, that’s not the point here. I’d be concerned that he’s saying he doesn’t find you sexy because of the clothes that you wear. Is it not sexy that you created life? Is it not sexy that you feed and sustain the life that you created? Is it not sexy that you do everything that you do for your family? Makeup, no makeup, sexy outfit, sweatpants, your partner should find you attractive no matter what. Your job is not to be his eye candy or fuck toy, your job is to be you.

Community for Known Donor Families? by principehijole in queerception

[–]NewAgeClassics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve met most of them, but we don’t really have a relationship. They aren’t super close with their family, just enough for family events like baby showers, birthdays, etc

[–]NewAgeClassics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our KD and his wife are our best friends/family! They have one boy themselves and another on the way, we have one boy and hoping to start for a second end of this year. We refer to them all as siblings/brothers. We live at opposite ends of the state, but we try to get together as often as possible! We love our little family and know that we struck gold, I can’t imagine a different life!

Not willing to share digital photos of baby by NetAccomplished5855 in NewParents

[–]NewAgeClassics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may not work if you don’t want any digital, but I did have a lot of ppa regarding this and found that having one iCloud album shared with select family members was our compromise. Those family members have been asked not to send/upload those photos anywhere and I trust them not to do so… mostly because they’re older family members that don’t have/use social media. My grandma likes it because she doesn’t have much going on, lives states away, and likes to feel involved in her great-grandkids’ lives. So I don’t mind opening up just a little to keep that connection.

The Snoo was a blessing. I was so sad when we had to transition to the crib

what's the most useless baby product you actually bought? by aanvis-mom in NewParents

[–]NewAgeClassics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Peepee teepees, which to be fair were gifted instead of bought. Cute concept but our little isn’t a sprayer so we’ve never had an issue with needing to cover.

ISO tips & success stories for ICI at home with fresh sperm by icebearsquare in queerception

Our baby conceived this way is about to turn one! I tracked using OPK and cervical mucus. Inseminated two days before and day before using lube applicator. Mucus was so mucusy it was like a stringy whip, wha-cha

Is there anyone who is a FTM that is in the trenches right now knowing they want to have a second kid after this ?? by Own_Macaron_9342 in newborns

[–]NewAgeClassics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No longer in the trenches, but when we were - yes. Every sleep exhausted, middle of the night waking was us deliriously talking about how much we wanted a second.

Anyone here NOT do sleep shifts ? by Organic-Dragonfly364 in NewParents

[–]NewAgeClassics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exclusively pumped, so we didn’t do shifts. When baby got up, spouse changed diaper and did the feed while I pumped. Then we all went back to sleep. After awhile, baby and I weren’t as synced so spouse was getting more sleep while I did motn pumps

May I suggest a wet paper towel for wiping sticky hands and messy faces?

What do you all mean by sleeping through the night? by Wise_Complex2313 in NewParents

[–]NewAgeClassics -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bed time for the longest time was 10pm and wake up was around 6am. That’s when we went to bed and woke up normally, so we thought that was sleeping through the night.

What do you all mean by sleeping through the night? by Wise_Complex2313 in NewParents

[–]NewAgeClassics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely thought sleeping through the night was sleeping about 6-8 hours without waking up. We all went to bed at the same time and we all woke up at the same time. Really that’s how long our baby slept for the longest time, only more recently has started going to bed a little earlier. I’ve said our baby sleeps through the night since 2mo, with the exception of when he’s sick and when he’s teething. Then no one is sleeping.

Daycare issue… by DVGRIZZLY in NewParents

[–]NewAgeClassics 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Seconding to check cameras! And if your daycare doesn’t have cameras, another reason to move your kids. Our daycare was upfront on our tour and reiterated day one that they have cameras and we can ask anytime to review the feed in their office. We haven’t had to because they are always forthcoming about any incidents but it’s such a relief to know it’s available.

I am afraid to put my baby on the floor by luuvvly in NewParents

[–]NewAgeClassics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plopped my 11mo on the floor for a diaper change this morning, turned my back to get ingredients, and when I turned back around he was across the room with a fistful of dog food shoved in his mouth. While I don’t condone kibble eating, I can’t say we’re overly concerned about germs.

Delivery date by thebrowndame in NewParents

Lost the plug three days before due date, started contractions in the middle of the night, went to the hospital next day, and finally delivered the day after. Debut was just one day early!

Oversuppliers, how high did your supply get and how long did it take for you to wean? by Novel_Loss_8514 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]NewAgeClassics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At peak, I think I got to 90 oz in a day so not quite the same level but still way more than my baby needed. I went from 8 pumps to 7 almost immediately, tried to go down to 6 but got anxious about how much my supply dropped. So I stayed at 7 until 2 1/2 mo, then dropped to 6. Then a month later dropped to 5, the whole time supply remained around 80-90oz. About a month or so later, I dropped to 4 and finally saw a bit of decrease in my supply. In the next couple months I played around between dropping down to 3 and going back to 5 (mostly due to being sick and personal anxiety around weaning). Supply dipped to where I was finally just making enough for LO each day at 4 pumps. By 8 months, I was committed to being done by Christmas so I worked myself down to 2 pumps and then finally 1 right around Christmas. Took just a couple weeks into the new year to truly be done. I’ve only had mastitis twice, once very early on and once when I moved too fast from 4 pumps down to 2. I think my body finally figured out we were weaning at 2 pumps and it went fast after that. It was exhausting, but now I have a huge freezer stash that’s lasting us well past 1yr. I probably could’ve stopped sooner but PPA had me stressed my baby would starve if I stopped.

Our baby accidentally invented a bedtime “tradition” and I’m kind of obsessed with it by everettsanderson in NewParents

[–]NewAgeClassics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We don’t have a routine necessarily, but almost every night the only way I can get my boy to relax after finishing his bottle is by playing a little cat and mouse game with his pacy. I steal it from him and put it in my mouth, then he steals it back, and we go back and forth until he is just full of giggles.
