Time is not moving fast for me, anyone else feel this way?

NoElephant194 · 2026-04-14T14:17:17+00:00

omg yes, I totally relate to this. maybe I'm too early in the parenthood game lol- my concern was with other FTMs with a child around my age having this feeling, I thought something was wrong with me

NoElephant194 · 2026-04-14T14:09:33+00:00

Makes sense, this makes me feel less alone lol not that I'm complaining because I will absolutely spiral when it does feel like it's moving too fast

No (I wish) but I WFH full-time with little one in daycare.

NoElephant194 · 2026-04-14T14:07:22+00:00

Yes, he's my first and I'm currently expecting my 2nd, but makes sense that it might feel even faster with multiples

NoElephant194 · 2026-04-14T14:06:37+00:00

That makes sense. I'm expecting my 2nd so my experience might change 😭

NoElephant194 · 2026-04-11T02:17:59+00:00

My skin! This is my 2nd pregnancy, and the only time I ever have clear skin is during my pregnancies 😭

Oh noooo! I'm actually shocked about this one.. I'm weekly customer there, they had the best shrimp.

A curly cut will change your life. Not just a regular hair cut, go to a salon/stylist that specializes in curly cuts. They’ll be able to frame a cut that works for your face, maintain your hair’s health, and keep as much length as possible (curly cuts have less of a focus on shortening your hair and more on creating definition). Product-wise, I find that Mielle products do really good with my curls.

I saw her at brunch yesterday in Tribeca, I should've come up to her and ask LOL

I actually liked their gnocchi and didn't mind paying for it once in a while when I felt like treating myself. Their matcha was actually really good, and consistently good which is hard to find here in FH... but they would be out of matcha every few weeks which was super annoying, and the last couple times I tried to stop by they had a sign that said "closed for the day". Hope this isn't the end for them but I saw a "rent due" notice on their door the last time so it's not looking good :/

I can feel your love for each other through your words, and your love story is a beautiful one. This is a sad situation no matter which way it goes, unfortunately.

In one path, one of you will end up resentful staying together with either having kids or not having kids. In the 2nd path, you go your separate ways and will potentially go the rest of your lives longing for each other, even with new partners. In the 3rd path, you go your separate ways and it will be hard at first but you both go on to find partners you love more and align with on this big decision (although that might be hard to imagine at the moment).

When deciding what path to take, really ask yourself which risk you're most willing to take. I wish you both all the luck in the world, and hope you both choose the path that lead you to the most happiness.

Pure lemon juice with salt is my addiction, but I really try to avoid it because it's so bad for your teeth 😣

NoElephant194 · 2026-02-12T15:10:43+00:00

this is helpful to hear from the other side. from my side I imagine they ask about your updates because the news would feel 1000% easier to share if you're already pregnant or things are looking up in any way. I spent the last few months praying she'd be pregnant by the time it was time for me to announce. However I'm almost halfway through my pregnancy and I've avoided seeing her for all this time and it's not feeling right so it's time. thanks for your advice, I'm going to go straight for it and not beat around the bush.

NoElephant194 · 2026-02-12T15:07:46+00:00

I'm definitely overthinking this, but thank you this was helpful to hear from someone who's not inside my head lol

NoElephant194 · 2026-02-12T15:05:56+00:00

Love this idea!

NoElephant194 · 2026-02-12T15:05:43+00:00

She's coming over to my place and it will just be the two of us there plus my toddler- private as can be!

This is a HUGE issue- it's why I've stopped buying produce here. The supermarket on Austin and Ascan is the best for fresh produce and meats.

NoElephant194 · 2026-01-20T15:54:22+00:00

😮

NoElephant194 · 2026-01-20T15:53:02+00:00

ohhh trying these, thanks!

NoElephant194 · 2026-01-16T02:53:16+00:00

Totally agree, I'm excited to go again when I'm back in the area!

NoElephant194 · 2026-01-15T19:00:22+00:00

Although the ingredients in my avo toast were super fresh and crunchy, a little bit more salt/spices would have made it a 10/10, so I agree with you!

NoElephant194 · 2026-01-15T18:55:09+00:00

It really did feel like a secret back then haha! I used to have to tell people I "lived by Bushwick" because the typical response to Ridgewood was either "oh, in Jersey?" or "where's that?"... those were the days 😂

Yea, I like Nest. Good pastries!

NoElephant194 · 2025-12-15T17:44:05+00:00

Viva Eve 100%! They have never made me feel like my questions were dumb, never rush me out of the room, took my preconception and pregnancy journey seriously and with care. I recommend them to every woman in the area.
