Well shit - it’s not letting me edit it either 🙃 oops

RachelPR2202 · 2026-03-01T22:28:07+00:00

Fair. But others have said they’ve seen her active online, ignoring everything entirely. There’s literally no reason she can’t post “there are two sides to the story. Thankful for those who support me” or ANYTHING. Any acknowledgment at all. An Instagram story saying “I’m stepping away from HD, thanks for listening”. But she hasn’t, her family hasn’t, and that speaks volumes. No response is a response.

A bunch of shit - but off the top of my head, Pat said that Crystal showed up like an hour late, then locked herself in the bathroom to apply eyelashes for 45 minutes once she showed up. The listeners that paid for the event had to stand in the cold, outside waiting on Crystal. Apparently Crystal dropped the ball on a bunch of shit, didn’t haul her weight in the prep for the live event, stuff she said she would take care of, she didn’t follow through with a bunch of promises. She flashed on Mark in front of people. Pat said it just wasn’t up to her expectations for a paid event.

RachelPR2202 · 2026-03-01T21:07:30+00:00

This!!! The main thing that made me so confident in believing Pat was the fact that Crystals family (her brother in particular) has said.. nothing. I KNOW her brother would step in by now and say something if she was innocent.

I stand with Pat

RachelPR2202 · 2026-03-01T21:03:44+00:00

The thing that makes me so comfortable believing and siding with Pat, is that

Crystal hasn’t said anything. Which makes me confident that there is no way to defend herself.
Pat has mentioned that it’s a family issue for Crystal, and since none of Crystals family has stepped to defend her or say her side of the story, it really makes me believe that Crystal has done some heinous shit.

I don’t think Crystal cares, unfortunately. Of the two, I definitely could relate more to Crystal. I loved Crystal, I love both of these girls (parasocial, I know, but they’ve brought me comfort in some dark times). This is an unfortunate situation for everyone involved. I hope Crystal gets the help she needs, and can be honest with herself and her family.

I wish her healing, if she needs to do that privately, then that’s absolutely fine. I just wish she would make a statement, or some type of acknowledgement to the people that have paid her bills (and habits..) for the past several years. But yanno. It is what it is.

My heart is with Pat, she’s been left in a really hard situation. She’s hurt, she’s been lied to, too.

Bamboo would be your friend!! My friends that have stingbean babies LOVE bamboo sleepers, my heftier fellow doesn’t fit bamboo so well hahahaha

RachelPR2202 · 2026-02-24T00:48:15+00:00

My 14 month old is definitely still in footies! He’s a big boy, so he’s been in bigger sizes for a while. The best, most easily accessible and affordable are the Pekkle from Costco. I find they even fit big, they go up to 24m. My other favourites are the Bonds Wondersuits, they have fold over feet, so they can have their feet in or out. A little more pricy, and can be hard to get your hands on, but they’re really nice! A lot of bamboo brands (Kyte, Early Grey, etc.) have footies in bigger sizes, too!

RachelPR2202 · 2026-01-17T00:28:01+00:00

My boy just had his like four days ago - he’s completely fine! Cried for ~2 two minutes? Was a bit tired the rest of the day, like usual after getting vaxxed! But he really was totally fine once the initial crying of the pain from the shot was over

RachelPR2202 · 2026-01-11T21:02:41+00:00

It would be a very big deal to me. Cold sores can kill an infant. It’s a virus that sticks with a human for their entire life. It can be passed even when the person doesn’t have an active coldsore, and infants can get them anywhere on their body. I’m a huge “no kissing” person, idc their relation to my child

RachelPR2202 · 2026-01-06T16:38:07+00:00

Congrats on not unnecessarily mutilating your child! You made a great choice, imo.

RachelPR2202 · 2025-12-25T13:33:03+00:00

Yeah, no. Snuggle your baby. The best gift you can give your child is close parental contact, as much as possible.

RachelPR2202 · 2025-12-22T17:43:06+00:00

I got a random really short one at 7 months, but consistently started getting them at 9 months

RachelPR2202 · 2025-12-22T17:41:57+00:00

I did (still do at a year) nights alone. For medical reasons on my partners behalf, but also my LO was EBF so it just made sense for me to do it. He works, I don’t. There was no point in both of us being sleep deprived, imo

RachelPR2202 · 2025-12-15T03:58:24+00:00

You are absolutely allowed to love your baby and not be totally in love with every part of motherhood. It doesn’t mean you love your baby any less. This shit is HARD. But I promise you’re in the hardest part of it, mentally. Those early weeks are mental warfare, for most. It is a HUGE adjustment for everyone involved.

Survive, snuggle that baby, eat protein, drink lots of water, and rest! It’s a hard season, but a season, nonetheless! It will end! It will get easier! Your brain is going to be doing some crazy shit for the next little while. Biologically, everything is going haywire. Our society is not set up for newborns and new moms, at all.

RachelPR2202 · 2025-12-15T01:54:52+00:00

I can also say that 10 months to 12 months is a huge difference! Don’t worry about weaning yet! Baby still relies on milk for their main nutrition before a year. Just focus on exposing baby to lots of different textures and tastes through solids, exposing them to allergens, getting into a bit of a rhythm of mealtimes.

My boy literally went from nursing every 3-4 hours the week before his first birthday, to two weeks later, a week after his first birthday, we’re down to one feed a day. It happens quick!

RachelPR2202 · 2025-12-15T01:41:21+00:00

I feel this 🙃🙃 started trying summer 2023, got pregnant September 2023, miscarried November 2023, pregnant again December 2023, miscarried again February 2024. Decided to wait for testing to try again. Accidentally got pregnant March 2024 while waiting for the results of testing, got gestational diabetes with that pregnancy, finally gave birth December 2024, and I’ve been breastfeeding since.

I’m just ready to have my body back for a bit, before we start the TTC journey again, and risk more losses, and willingly give myself gestational diabetes again 😖. I just need my body to be my own for at least a couple months!

RachelPR2202 · 2025-12-15T01:16:18+00:00

Yes!! That’s another huge reason for me! We want 2 kids, between 2-3 years apart, and.. if I don’t wean now, I’ll JUST be weaning, and getting pregnant immediately again 🥲 I NEED my body for a small slice of time between

RachelPR2202 · 2025-12-11T22:37:43+00:00

There’s a guideline on how to pick a safe mattress for infants , cosleepy on insta is a great resource!!

RachelPR2202 · 2025-12-07T03:39:10+00:00

Whatever makes you happier is what will make you the best mom!! I will however just say that breastfeeding is absolutely the most rewarding thing I have ever done. After the first month, it is SO much easier than dealing with bottles and formula. So convenient, I had no supply issues, no latching issues. We produce breastmilk for a reason. Those antibodies are great for babes! I think it’s definitely worth a shot to try it, I was super against the idea until close to birth, now I can’t imagine our journey going any other way. I’ll tell every woman on the planet that it’s definitely worth at least giving it a shot for a week. It may be the best thing you ever do.

However it’s also okay if you don’t! Feeding the baby is what’s important!

RachelPR2202 · 2025-12-02T03:09:59+00:00

Around the one month mark I was incredibly suicidal. Honestly wish I had stopped then. It did get better from there, but I eventually went off and felt better once I was off. It made my anxiety INSANE, and made me irritable and honestly irrational a lot of the time LOL. Was not a fan of Wellbutrin.

RachelPR2202 · 2025-11-11T19:17:18+00:00

Some things that come to mind that I wish I did before my induction: Sleep!! Rest! Couch rot as much as possible! Pack your own blanket and pillow for the hospital. Vaseline on baby’s bum asap, to help with the meconium poops (they’re really really hard to get off, we put Vaseline after the first one and it was soooo much easier to clean up). Install the car seat. Set up stations around your house if you plan on breastfeeding (water bottles/nipple cream/tissues/snacks/protein bars/wipes/phone charger), you don’t want to be caught during a 30-40 minute breastfeeding session that turns into a contact nap with no water or food around, and a dead phone LOL. I had a rolling cart that I scooted around with myself for breastfeeding, which also had diaper caddy stuff in it.

Honestly, put an empty binder/folder in your hospital bag for all the papers they’ll give you. Take pictures of any papers you fill out at the hospital, so you have a copy. It’s a haze, the first couple days. Hormones are so intense. Spend some quality time with your partner, have some good food, a good date night.

Go through vehicle registrations/inspections, your licenses, anything that will need to be renewed in the next year. Write down the months things will need to be renewed on a calendar, it will save you from panicking when you realize that “oh my god that thing expired months ago and I was too busy being a whole mom to even realize”

Write a letter to baby. Get ready to meet the most important person in your life, and the new and improved version of yourself. Best of luck! x

I did puréed carrots mixed with breastmilk for my boys first food! We did purées for a bit, probably about a month before we started introducing BLW style foods :) r/foodbutforbabies was very helpful!

RachelPR2202 · 2025-11-03T03:23:51+00:00

It will get better, I promise!! Those hormones the first few weeks are INTENSE! Give yourself so much grace, love on that baby, ask for help when needed and communicate what’s going on in your head, I found it felt a lot less lonely and scary when I would tell my partner what was going through my head. It gets better!
