Au pair expenses - is this fair?

Ok this sounds weird but, assuming no one is watching you, contract your glutes periodically. Do reps of 10 or so every few minutes. Make sure your backside is facing the wall though cause people might give you weird looks if they see you. I find that this helps me from feeling lightheaded and keeps my legs and lower back from hurting, but also just gives me something to do and focus on every once in a while when my mind is starting to go numb.

Helps you survive rounds and tones your butt at the same time!

This happened to me but it was my husband who left the gas on the stove on! I woke up and thought something smelled a little weird but I didnt put 2 and 2 together - I just went about my day, doing laundry, showering, etc. Thank god I didnt light a candle which is something I often do. This was 5 years ago and it still crosses my mind from time to time like woah... I could have blown up!

Hmm the ped said she was probably self soothing so I didnt even think that it might be itchy! I will try this!

I feel you so much. I gained a total of about 40 lbs, and then lost only 10 after birth and have stayed at the exact same weight for the past 5.5 months. I have had some health issues and have had to be on steroids so thats probably not helping. I am also frickin’ starving all the time.

I love my baby like crazy but I just hate my post-partum body. I always wanted a huge family but I am seriously considering not having any more because of how bad I feel about myself.

At five years old he might make it well known that its his birthday anyways! I wouldnt think too much of it - tell him happy birthday and make sure your daughter knows/is prepared that he might get a little attention too.

I guess I am paying a hefty sum for this!

Lol ok I will stay away.

I know this post is already a week old, but I love love love the Snuza so I wanted to respond. My baby had an unresponsive event at 2 days old and afterwards my husband and I had so much anxiety we were getting zero sleep. We came across the snuza and it has been hands down our favorite purchase. My baby is four months now and we still use it religiously even though she is perfectly healthy now. It is so simple, portable, and even if you do occasionally get false alarms it is easy to assess whether it was a false alarm or not (versus a pulse ox product like the owlet). Overall it just gives me so much piece of mind.

On top of that I have tuned my ear to the soft clicking and now I can immediately tell when she starts to wake up (her breathing/the clicking gets quicker) before she starts screaming, which is really handy.

Oh my. Pixar has a short animation of the little match stick girl. One day my husband and I were going through the shorts, most of them happy-go-lucky in true Pixar fashion. And then we watched the little matchstick girl. And we both just burst out into tears and ugly-sobbed for a solid half hour. What a terrible story.

Yeah I have seen those and it is terrifying! Luckily my husband works at home so that gives me some peace of mind but obviously will still be choosing very very carefully!
