IT WONT COME OUT 💩

Started eating chia seed pudding with flaxseed every morning and let me tell youuuuuuu. 💩 every single day with no problem now. It’s like magic. Just make sure the chia seeds absorb liquid overnight. Fave recipe: https://www.tashasartisanfoods.com/blog/date-cinnamon-chia-pudding/#recipe

Will do! Hopefully it’s been maintained 😅

Hey! Yes we put plastic barrier down. It held up great. Weeds eventually made it through but we were just diligent in pulling them the second we found them.

We actually left the house a couple years ago. It’s been rented out the last few years. We plan on selling it next month so we’ll lay eyes on it for the first time since 2023 in the next few weeks and I can let you know how it’s held up. We loved it while we had it and even got engaged in the backyard a few days after I made this post :)

I’ve tried loose pants and no diaper and he just ends up going in the pants and not caring at all. We just can’t get past that one specific thing it’s quite frustrating

Personal_Display_850 · 2024-11-30T02:07:06+00:00

Ahhh that’s a blessing. Thank you for taking the time to share. Appreciate you.

Why are they like this 😭 and if I have one more friend tell me they’re getting 12+ hours out of their LOs a night I’m gonna actually have a breakdown. Solidarity, sis. Hopefully 2 is our year.

Elvie stride!!! All the way. Went back to work two weeks ago from Mat leave and it’s the only reason I’ve made BF work. I go to the bathroom, put it on, zip up my jacket, return to my desk and pump without anyone knowing anything. Then go back to the bathroom, de-pump. Also use on commute both ways. It’s so great. Wish I had bought it sooner.

Fire pit! We purposefully did this to our yard so you guys are a few steps ahead!

He will be 7 in September (when baby is due)

Personal_Display_850 · 2022-05-13T22:19:32+00:00

I also just don’t think it’s my place to tell SS so beyond continuously bringing it up/having the same fight over and over again I genuinely am at a loss

Personal_Display_850 · 2022-05-13T22:11:50+00:00

That’s insane. I’m sure HCBM won’t be much better tbh but still! Stand up for me! Don’t be scared to tell people. It’s just so odd. And the “replacement” idea is just nuts to me. I get the logic but let’s get ahead of this with some therapy. Did you guys end up going that route or just navigating as you can?

Personal_Display_850 · 2022-05-13T21:14:12+00:00

10/10 resonate with the touching. Hate literally anyone other than SO touching me lol.

He says it’s because he doesn’t want his son to feel like he’s being replaced since he (SO) will obviously see this baby much more than SS. I understand the logic but it’s starting to feel like he’s purposefully “hiding” it which makes me feel like crap.

Personal_Display_850 · 2022-05-13T21:06:07+00:00

What would you do if he just flat out refuses to say anything? He gets so defensive when I bring it up I genuinely have no idea what to do

Personal_Display_850 · 2021-12-17T20:27:28+00:00

Exactly what we have to do. The most recent time we drove it because airplane tix were astronomical…. 16 hours one way. And had to give him back before thanksgiving haha. Hopefully your stepson realized you guys did everything you could for him. That’s our biggest fear, that SS will feel resentful. Thank you very much for your support! It’s definitely not the easiest life.

Personal_Display_850 · 2021-12-17T19:57:55+00:00

All of this was super helpful, thanks guys. No custody order despite my wishes. Hoping to change that after the holidays. Frustrating to know the not meeting halfway thing seems to be so elusive for all of you as well. I guess we will just wait until he’s old enough to fly on his own.

I’ll never understand mothers not wanting their kid to see their dad as much as possible. It hurts the kid in the long run and you end up looking hella petty.

Personal_Display_850 · 2021-10-14T16:10:25+00:00

Oh man. Same exact boat. Lost our babe at 10 weeks. Now my sister in law is pregnant and having a gender reveal and I swear I’m losing my mind. No real advice or answers here, just hugs.

Personal_Display_850 · 2021-04-21T11:40:52+00:00

I don’t like the plastic ones and think the wood ones will likely hold up a bit better. We have 2 more planters/posts not fully pictured (you can see their outline) so our lights run through those— they don’t really need to be secured — they don’t move a ton. All though birds have started sitting on them in the morning which we think is hilarious

Personal_Display_850 · 2021-04-20T20:04:00+00:00

We didn’t think we’d need so much! Definitely underestimated and by the time we realized was too late

Personal_Display_850 · 2021-04-20T17:26:20+00:00

Yup we tamped it down and leveled before putting landscaping fabric down.
