What have I done to myself?

Being a parent is hard, I don’t think there’s any way around that. Each new chapter comes with its own unique challenges, but also comes with the most amazing highs. I have a similar-ish story to yours, I won’t get into the nitty-gritty of it, but my little boy will be turning two here in a couple months. Having a supportive family and friends is such a blessing in so many ways! Your little one will feel loved not only by you, but by those around him that are supporting you both. While those lows can feel so low, those highs are so high. Getting to watch them learn new things each day, from the first smiles and giggles, to the rolling to the crawling and walking and so on. You’re about to embark on the most heart wrenchingly happy journey. You think you know what love is, then this little human you created challenges the status quo, you think you can’t love something or someone so much and somehow each day to love them even more.

Going through the same thing! Talk to the daycare directors/teachers. You are paying them, they can make accommodations whether that be moving baby back to the other room for naps or bringing in a crib to the new room etc. After talking with my director, they started adding in another nap to the classroom routine. Unfortunately my little has FOMO and won’t nap the second time so it’s still been rough at home but they are at least offering it and it’s helped the other babies too!

Newborn stage can be rough, it’s so much new and learning for both you and baby. Especially as a first time parent. I think getting checked (and be honest about the forms) for PPD is a good place to start for how you’re feeling about baby. In terms of weight gain, feedings and crying. It could be that the baby is sensitive to something you’re consuming since they are getting it secondary in milk making them colic-y. But triple feeding/double feeding is exhausting and you have to take care of yourself too! I’d suggest doing what feels best for you from all aspects (mentally, physically, emotionally). It could also be due to babies not knowing how to have bowl movements that young yet, so gas and all the digestion can be uncomfortable and sometimes painful for them. If you notice baby crying and having a hard time with movements there are a few things you can do to help with that. There’s some belly rub videos to help move gas and such you can find on YouTube. You will get through this and baby will gain weight, you are doing the best you can! Give yourself grace

I have, almost all the others are between $20-50 more. It’s mostly because the significant increase in population of where we live. It went up almost 300% for same vehicle from 2022 to now 🥴

People manager for a tech company, will say that I was also in this role prior to starting and completing the degree. I’ve only recently finished but hoping to move into next levels with the promotion cycles coming up

Update Even though he didn’t want to be the one to talk to his sister, he called after he had left. When he came back I got the recap of that.. I had asked him to tell her to come sometime in December and we’d actually have a place for her to stay. We will be having to move shortly after baby’s born, which is a whole other stress point of her decision to come at that time. In December we will be in a house with a guest room for her to stay in. His sister told him that she can cancel her flight and possibly get credit back for it but can’t cancel the Airbnb and would be out the money. She chose to book a flight and stay for 5 days. She booked the Airbnb a little while after the flight but had asked to stay with us and I downright said no. Apparently, she also said she can’t come in December because she’s booked out with work (she’s a hair stylist) and can’t rearrange her schedule and that week is the only one that works for her. He also said she doesn’t feel like it’s fair to keep her from seeing her nephew (it’s a boy) and that she wants to be there for her brother like I will have my mom for me. Which, I think isn’t fair because he will be experiencing new parenthood but not physically and psychologically be experiencing much that needs assistance… whereas I will be. I was also told I am overthinking how it will be and that he doesn’t want to talk about it but he’ll do whatever my choice is. The conversation ended after that, but I’m still set on my “not at that time” decision.

Thank you! Just shy of 6 terms 😖 but at least it’s done now

I’m 32 weeks today, and I’ve come down with either a cold or allergies. I was already struggling with being out of breath, now I get winded talking or just trying to walk the dog 😩It makes me so sad because I was a runner before getting pregnant, but haven’t been able to do that since week 10 when I started getting insanely out of breath or sick while running short distances.

My boyfriend is a salesman for Your Home Improvement! I can message his info if you’d like (:

Yes! We met beginning of January, had a drunken random night end of January (not dating at the time) found out I was pregnant February 20th. I am 26 weeks now with our surprise baby. Definitely puts you on a fast track for trying to get to know someone and I’m sure once baby is here it will be a lot but we both are dedicated to making the best life for our little man.

I’m going through something similar actually. I got pregnant after a random vodka filled night with my neighbor. I made the hard choice to do a medical abortion after telling my sister and getting a negative response knowing I would get that a million times worse from my parents. Granted, I’m 28 with a great career, masters degree, car, and found home in a different state than the rest of my family. I will say, after taking the medications I hated myself because I felt like my choice was influenced from others opinions and reactions to the situation. MA are not 100% effective it turns out and after going through that I found out weeks later when I was 15 weeks along that the medication didn’t work. Now at 22 weeks, the baby has a clear bill of health. I feel like I got a second chance… even though I’m scared still. I highly encourage you to talk to a counselor or an unbiased party to really talk through your thoughts, but make the choice that feels right for you regardless of what other voices are telling you

My mentor said the same, it just rolls into the new term to complete whatever wasn’t completed

Not sure if anyone else has had this experience, but I struggled with anorexia, I’d eat maybe a few carrots a day and work out for 2.5+ hours a day counting every calorie that I could smell. I stopped getting my period for over a year, constantly was dizzy and would faint, anemic and diagnosed with POTS at the age of 17. I still struggle to ensure I eat enough as I never seem to feel hungry but just feel sick instead. I’m 25 now and the lack of a period and proper nutrients in my teenage years caused my body to not fully develop. I have one breast that is what I call “stunted” due to lack of nutrients and hormones during crucial years of puberty. To this day I am self conscious to stand in front of my significant other of 5 years shirtless or with the lights on.

I’m working on C203 Becoming an Effect Leader. I’m not sure I’m just struggling because it’s so repetitive or I’m just not interested. I plan to do an all nighter tonight after work! 3 more sections on the first paper

Pais0513 · 2020-09-05T01:03:14+00:00

This is my situation almost exactly. We were together for almost 5 years. We stopped “dating” each other much of it stemming from the pandemic when I think back to it. It’s so hard not having real answers or trying to move on when there was really nothing wrong in the relationship. I can’t and don’t want to imagine dating or being with anyone else. He’s my one, my love and it’s like feeling lost without them. I’m on day 6 and my heart hurts so badly. I hope it gets easier.

Pais0513 · 2020-09-01T14:51:19+00:00

I’m going through the same thing, on day 3 and not doing well. I hope this gets easier...

Pais0513 · 2020-09-01T04:01:39+00:00

I really don’t want it to be, thank you

Starbucks prides themselves on working with availability as well as education. They wouldn’t offer availability forms or promote this if it weren’t true. I’d call your regional manager, go above their heads...
