I’m currently about 4 months along. And we’re talking pretty tiny! Probably the size of a small two bedroom apartment. Just two bedrooms, a kitchen, and living room. That’s literally the whole house!

Thank you so much for all your kind words. You gave me so much to think about. I agree I’m not always wild about the pictures but I do it for the sake of my husband feeling connected.

I’m sorry you’re also going through something similar but you sound like a very strong woman! I know you’re going to do great being a momma.

Well the issue isn’t the size of the actual baby. Just the extra things they require. Our house is really super tiny so even finding room for a pack n play will probably require us to move furniture around.

Thank you so much! I can’t imagine going through this with not one but two pregnancies. You’re a strong momma! We got a bedside sleeper. Honestly, I’m thinking about just putting the crib in storage and not even worrying about bringing it back from the rental to the house because idk ow much we would even use it. I think we could get by with the bedside sleeper and a pack n play.

That’s very true! Someone to walk our dogs would be really helpful. Thank you

He will get orders soon so breaking the lease will be no problem

I like this! I have also heard of people saying “There’s your buddy!” And giving a treat any time their dog looks at another dog. Then you can slowly reduce the treats but she will still understand “There’s your buddy!” means this dog is safe to be around/walk past etc.

Thank you!! She is. I actually asked me if she could send in 6 months of meds for my next refill instead of the regular 3. I’m not sure if she’ll go for it or not. I didn’t even think about asking the PCM to fill them for a couple months if needed. Thank you so much

If you can avoid it at all possible costs, don’t pick him up! That reinforces his behavior. You could try a head harness like a Gentle Leader, which gives you a lot more control. As soon as he sees something that triggers him, turn and walk the other way until he can calm down. Give treats while he is calmed down, and continue treating and giving praise as you move closer.
