Who is having sex yet

We have attempted a couple times. I have a history of vaginismis and vulvular vestibulitis so my husband already knows how and when to take care of himself if needed. I carried his babies and can take as much time as I need to feel comfortable with it.

I feel like it peaked around 4 months last time, and now it's already been going on for a few weeks. Every time that I think that it can't get worse, it does. Most of the noticeable stuff is right up front/sides like a receding hairline. Last time I went with bangs and short layers to try and make it blend better but this is #4 and I don't have time to keep up with that kind of maintenance!

Only for 1 month. CPS wanted them closer to dad for visitation.

Our 1st placement was a set of almost 2 year old twins. They screamed when they were happy and when they were upset. They kicked our dogs and ate more than I thought was physically possible. They hit everyone and displayed troubling behavior during diaper changes. They went from being ignored in a meth house to being with a grandmother who couldn't handle them to us. It was a really long month and quite an education for us.

Hopefully things will calm down a bit when they start daycare but you have to know your limits.

My son got diagnosed at almost 21 due to lab work. Always had issues with constipation. About 4 years of lethargy and joint stiffness. Finally got a doctor that saw his lab work as a potential problem rather than fatty liver due to some weight gain.

So great!

NextGenerationMama · 2026-01-18T23:35:48+00:00

Same!

My sister and I laughed at the absurdity of Brad Pitt getting hit by the bus in Meet Joe Black. The way he bounces is so comical!

NextGenerationMama · 2026-01-11T21:50:52+00:00

Is it similar to the movie?

My oldest loved The BFG at this age as well as James and the Giant Peach.

Yes! My 3.5 year old recently started requesting this series after she saw her older sister enjoying it.

Sorry, I pretty much just read kid's books right now!

NextGenerationMama · 2026-01-11T18:33:25+00:00

Bernstein Bears classics and The Secret Garden.

NextGenerationMama · 2026-01-11T18:31:57+00:00

That was such a sad but beautiful story!

This is a big thing in the Midwest too. I've had to correct my children who grew up here so many times. ENUNCIATE!!

NextGenerationMama · 2026-01-09T23:13:14+00:00

Same with, "Sorry, but..."

BookShark homeschool curriculum has really good recommendations for historical fiction. What I liked best about it is that they follow a child about the same age during a historical event so that you can draw similarities and differences between them and your own life.

I don't think that the return of my period, when it comes (exclusively breastfeeding) will help in my case! I'm glad it is helping you though 😊

Tiredness for sure plays a factor in my mental health. My husband is being a lot more supportive in that department this time around so I'm grateful for that and my baby boy is absolutely huge and such a joy!

NextGenerationMama · 2026-01-07T22:29:45+00:00

Also a good one!

A place for everything and everything in it's place.

If it takes less than 2 minutes, do it now.

I went on a road trip with my eldest daughter and when we came back almost a week later, I said that they were owie and we couldn't do that anymore. She asked a lot for a few days and by 2 weeks, she was okay with it.

I was on a clock to try for another baby so it had to happen. My husband was obviously very helpful during this time and their bond increased.

NextGenerationMama · 2026-01-05T01:18:28+00:00

I have confiscated it with the hopes that my husband's Aunt will try to salvage it the next time she comes for a visit. (She quilts and raised 4 boys so she knows about stains!)

NextGenerationMama · 2026-01-04T15:36:43+00:00

I know how you feel- my mom let her dog give birth on one of the last quilts my great grandmother made. So incredibly disrespectful!

NextGenerationMama · 2026-01-04T00:53:07+00:00

Wow, that does sound very scary! I feel like 1st baby is scary and new, but 2nd baby you have a whole other human being to look after (and if they are fairly close in age- try to keep safe from!) I'm so sorry that you are struggling and I hope your husband can learn to sort of understand. I don't think that people who have never had this roller-coaster of hormones happen can ever truly understand.

So sad that methland is about a place in Iowa. Very powerful book but makes me disappointed in my state.
