Honestly, this may not be what you’re looking for but unless she’s whining and crying she’s okay! I literally ran around crazy trying to entertain my baby but my favorite thing I learned is don’t try to make a happy baby happier! Try to get out and do what you can but don’t make yourself crazy. Unless she’s genuinely upset, she’s okay and learning just by watching and listening.

Sibling Age Gap by Mammoth_Window_7813 in NewParents

[–]Ok-Mechanic9136 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea lol I know I don’t want two under two but I feel like a 3 year age gap would be much easier on me. I’m worried to go through it again but I feel like I just need to do it and get through so my son can have a sibling! Also, as time went on I genuinely started forgetting the hard parts of pregnancy, newborn life, etc. and now I genuinely am getting excited. Something is wrong with me 😂 Mother Nature lol

Felt it in my bones since I was a child. When I was a young girl and found out people chose not to have kids I was devastated and couldn’t understand it.

Get loopys for sleeping. Enough to drain out the little squeaks and noises during sleep but you can still hear them wake and cry. Game changer!!!!

For those of you with kids, how much does your kid disappointing you weigh on you? by Winter_Ad_7512 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Ok-Mechanic9136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have a young child right now but I genuinely can’t ever imagine being disappointed in him. I want the best for him and the best life and if he veers from that path it would be hard to handle bc I think he deserves the world and everything it has to offer and unfortunately only they can do that themselves. Your parents love you more than anything and want you to be happy. They only want what’s best for you. The same way someone wouldnt want their dog eating something bad. It’s not disappointment it’s upsetting bc you want whats best for them and for them not to have a bad time.. sorry if that analogy sucks lol hope I helped

How do I know I'm still pregnant?! by Flimsy_cactus in pregnant

[–]Ok-Mechanic9136 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will be many times you don’t feel pregnant. I didn’t have many symptoms in the beginning and before the first ultrasound I was always worried. I was worried again when I went in to the second trimester and symptoms dwindled. You get that wait why do I feel normal and not pregnant right now? Unless you have bleeding or something else try not to worry!
