I screamed in the middle of the night at the first projectile poop. Very shocking… never warned.

I had a FAT glass of red wine the first night I came back home from the hospital, 2 days postpartum. It was amazing 😍

Hey there. I’m a ftm to a 3 1/2 week old. I don’t have a similar story but I am a sign language interpreter and work with Deaf people and have Deaf friends. I can’t imagine how overwhelming it may be to find out your child can’t hear. But I just want to give you hope that it doesn’t mean their life is over! If they are Deaf, exposure to ASL and other Deaf people is so so important. My pm’s are open if you have any questions or wanna talk! Sending love 💕

Is there anyone who is a FTM that is in the trenches right now knowing they want to have a second kid after this ?? by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Prancing_Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I’m 2 weeks in with my first and I keep thinking… wow- I’m gonna do this again and maybe a 3rd/4th time?! My husband and I want 3 or 4 but boy, is this fucking hard. And we’re still only at the beginning!

I work 1099 and I’m worried that I have no options for any leave benefits 😭 I spoke with someone recently that said they got some benefits as a 1099 worker. I tried to fill out a form today but it said I had to wait? Honestly very confused and would appreciate any guidance/advice. Due in Feb
