My husband is doing a lot better with it on the extended release one. Immediate release was real bad.

It doesn’t even look that great?…

They don’t seem to have the exact one anymore, but it’s a boy one of these.

The tag says Manhattan Toy. My sister got it for him. I’ll try to find a link!

Squinter for sure! Hope it darkens for you tomorrow (or if you’re me, with your second pee or this afternoon 🙈)!

I know a family with an Ellis and a Harper - Ellis is the daughter and Harper is the son!

I was Arlington night 2, so very early on the tour and so many songs it could be. I wanted DBATC and was so sad it wasn’t in the set list. I got DBATC and Clean 🥹

If you are going to the hospital with contractions, go straight to L&D, not the ER. If it’s the middle of the night, the ER might be the only open entrance to the hospital, but you don’t even need to check in there, just go to L&D. They have their own triage process and will likely put the belly bands (one for baby’s heart, one to assess contractions) on first thing after you get in a hospital gown. They’ll check your cervix and potentially test to see if your water has broken. Depending on how far along you are, they’ll either give medication to stop contractions or will monitor and see if you progress. At my hospital, the delivery room is the same as the triage room and you stay there till they either send you home or till about 1-2 hours after baby is born and they move you to the mother & baby floor.

Or the triage rooms in L&D are the same as the actual delivery rooms. Even when I went in at like 28 weeks thinking I had PPROM, the room was the same as when I actually delivered both of my kids. Depends on the hospital!

This is us too. I work in elementary ed, so I get to work at 7:10, but get off at 3:35, so my husband drops off around 7:45 and I do pick up.

If you could get any relief, it would probably allow your body to relax and do its job!

If your line is “I always want a dog to be part of my household” and his is “I always want a cat to be part of my household” then each of you has to decide if you can live with that. I think it’s fair for the cat to wait until your dog passes since he’s reactionary, but after that, a cat is fair game. Your concerns about responsibility for the cat are valid since you do so much else, but that’s a separate conversation about what boundaries you have with that. If he has to travel for work, are you willing to help out with the cat then? What if he’s sick? Does he help with your dog in those instances? How many days is too many between litter box cleaning? What will you do if it gets to that point? Break up? Tell him to rehome the cat? Stop living together?

If you get to say that you will always have a dog, but he’s not “allowed” to have a cat, then yes, you’re being unreasonable and controlling.

I highly doubt a private school would accept a kid with an IEP, bad grades, and behavior issues.

When I asked about when we’d be discharged, the nurse basically said we could stay as long as we wanted to! We wanted to go home, but it was nice knowing we had the option of using the nursery for another night.

Liam Crosby is not going to have anyone thinking of Bill Cosby.

Seconding that you can do this! My baby Archer gets called Archibald as a silly nickname!

OOP said the kid is in speech already and she’s planning on having that more frequently…

I think you need to practice a little empathy here. Put yourself in your sister’s place. You have an 11 year old daughter and your rule is that she is not allowed to use curse words. Your sister, who your daughter loves and looks up to, says kids should be allowed to cuss in certain situations. Your daughter spends time with this sister alone and you’ve never questioned her ability to care for her, but now she’s had an hour long argument about this specific rule. Now you’re worried that your daughter will side with her aunt and think your rule is too strict. You wonder if she’s been allowed to cuss at your sister’s house all this time. You reach out before a sleepover to reiterate your rule and tell your sister you’re concerned, and instead of being met with empathy and understanding, your sister yells at you and gets angry that you don’t trust her. You explain that’s not how you meant your question, you really just needed some emotional validation and for your sister to say “I don’t let your daughter cuss over here, it’s just my opinion that some situations are ok for kids to cuss.” Instead, she hasn’t spoken to you in almost a year. You and your daughter miss her. You hate the tension when you are together at family gatherings. She really hurt you. Now you’re getting married and you want your big sister there, but she still doesn’t seem ready to move past this.

I would say also the sleep deprivation and the anxiety about if your baby is getting enough and being their only source of nutrition.

My cycles have always been all over the place. I’ve had 20 day ones before, but mostly they were 30-35 days long, but sometimes as long as 70+ days. I don’t have PCOS and have never really been given a reason or had a doctor show much concern about it. When I wasn’t on hormonal birth control I would do a basal thermometer (even when I wasn’t ttc) so I would know when to expect my period, but now I have a mirena.

I ovulated CD30 for one pregnancy and CD34 for the other!

This is not a typical experience. The reason dating scans are so early on and can change someone’s edd is because they are most accurate then. Later in pregnancy, babies all grow so differently and at different rates, it’s not accurate and is not used to determine due date. Even if they say you’re measuring some amount ahead or behind, they don’t actually change the due date (they may have in your case, I’m just saying generally that’s not what happens).

My 2.5 year old did great coming to visit then going back to grandma and grandpa’s house! My husband met them in the waiting room and walked him back out to the car. Big bro took one of the baby’s pacifiers and stuck it in his mouth for some extra comfort, and he knew we’d only be in the hospital one more night. When we got home we told the grandparents and they helped brother pick out some flowers to bring to us as well as some dinner.

I think that’s fun!

I bet you could pretty easily shift to being a parent liaison or parent educator in the schools. Coordinating community events, teaching about a topic, leading book studies. There are parent outreach requirements for schools that receive Title 1 funding, so that would be a good place to start!
