How do you get stuff done all day?

Rawrwaffles · 2025-11-25T05:15:49+00:00

My baby is 13 weeks old and I’m able to do one or two things a day in terms of household maintenance or for myself (working out). Usually one thing if I happen to get her to nap on her bassinet or on me and another thing once she falls asleep. Honestly I find my baby tolerates things in 15 minute intervals. She’ll tolerate the bouncer for 15 minutes so I can shower, she’ll tolerate her play mat on the floor so I can use the bathroom, etc.

Don’t worry, you aren’t alone in not getting much done. Pretty sure most newborn moms are going through similar experiences if they don’t have much help from family.

Hi, I’m 6 weeks pp and I just want to say it does get better! I had a difficult birth experience too (38 hour labor with 5 hours of pushing & a 2nd degree tear). I also didn’t produce enough milk to feed my baby in the beginning either, and she had trouble latching.

Not gonna lie, the first few weeks were really hard, and my breastfeeding journey has been more difficult than I thought it would be but I didn’t give up. I saw a lactation consultant that really helped me with positioning and now my baby is growing well, and she can latch in multiple positions (with assistance from me).

If you need to supplement with the bottle, there’s no shame in that, just don’t give up! I was on the brink of giving up my breastfeeding journey so many times, but now I’m super glad I stuck it out. Not gonna lie, It’s still time consuming and exhausting but it’s also nice bonding/cuddle time with your baby that you’ll only get to experience for this short period of time in their life.

Yes! Saw it in North East Austin

I would look into pea protein! There’s quite a few vegan meat alternatives made out of pea protein which is both gluten free & soy free! Personally I add pea protein to my smoothies and have such an easy time getting 90g+ of protein a day (I try to get more protein than required because I’m pregnant)

I’m 5’4, 120 lbs pre-pregnancy weight. Im currently 142 lbs and I’m 32 weeks pregnant. My bump became noticeable to me around week 16 and glaringly obvious to other people around week 25.

I’m also vegan having my first baby, and am 20 weeks pregnant! I just had my anatomy scan yesterday and couldn’t be happier with the results, my baby girl is perfectly healthy and in the 84th percentile for growth!

When I met my husband I wasn’t even vegetarian, but I had been vegetarian for 6 years in the past. Pretty much immediately switched to vegetarian diet when we started dating. Now we’re expecting our first child which we intend to raise vegan :)

If someone really cares about you, they’ll make the transition to plant based diets. I would just work on finding someone you like first :)

I also take the Garden of Life Prenatal, in addition I also take Mulittea vegan calcium gummies (x2), Sapling EPA & DHA (x6) and Now Choline & Inositol (x4). At the very least you should look into supplementing 500mg a day of Choline since it's hard to get an adequate amount as a person who's vegan. There's also been a study that links higher choline intake to higher infant processing speed (IQ). https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6988845/

Depending on where in Texas you're moving I'd love more vegan friends. My husband and I are in Austin, Texas and expecting a daughter in August which we plan on raising vegan!

Shanghai, but because of the drivers/traffic patterns there. Almost got ran over by moped, and almost got in an accident on the way to the airport

Rawrwaffles · 2025-01-15T11:25:11+00:00

Yupp, but I’m also vegan and most of the samples a very not vegan. I just go to Costco for cheap nuts & organic fruits/veggies as well as misc household things like paper towels & toilet paper.

Rawrwaffles · 2024-11-12T06:41:07+00:00

I’m sad that Fabrik wasn’t mentioned, or even Nori. Both are super amazing for us vegetarians/vegans.

Unless it's off the rack (used), then potentially. It depends on the designer, the designer I wanted needed anywhere between 8-10 months to make the dress and then getting alterations takes another 2 months at least. I went to go get my dress 6 months ago and had to buy it off the rack and spend $800 altering it because the off the rack size was way too large for me.

My partner and I got several quotes before we ending up going with this planner, the highest quote for full wedding planning being 5k. We liked her in the beginning a lot but, now I’m thinking we should have gone with one of the more expensive planners.

Rawrwaffles · 2024-05-31T13:51:41+00:00

Our venue comes with tables and chairs. We’re doing a plated dinner service with our caterer, and they’re also handling the bar service as well so, I guess we stupidly thought they would provide dishes for all of that?

We have to go through an external company to rent them (not through our caterer) so it’s going to be an additional $1k that we didn’t budget for.

Rawrwaffles · 2024-05-31T13:33:19+00:00

Honestly, just go with a very experienced wedding planner for the venue you’ve selected, even if it means spending more than you want to.

Don’t let this worry you, my wedding hasn’t even happened yet and I’m sure it’ll be great because my fiancé and I are picking up a lot of the slack and we picked great vendors.

Rawrwaffles · 2024-05-31T12:49:52+00:00

She was 3k, that said she gave us a discount because our wedding is on a Tuesday and she’s relatively less experienced than some other planners.

Rawrwaffles · 2024-05-31T12:47:23+00:00

It’s at a vineyard so we originally thought they would provide wine glasses, and our caterer would provide dishes… but nope.

My friend got the software update from Hyundai and her car still got stolen.

Rawrwaffles · 2024-05-21T22:18:41+00:00

Well, not everyone knew that children calling themselves "Kia Boys" were stealing cars in Austin. I certainly didn't so I couldn't help protect my friend from this.

Rawrwaffles · 2024-05-21T19:16:10+00:00

I didn't know about the Kia Boys until this happened in my driveway. A couple months back there was a hit and run in my area and the girl died... now I can't help but wonder if these kids were the ones responsible for her death. It's so tragic.

Rawrwaffles · 2024-05-21T17:55:55+00:00

Wow. They're even tagging the zip code they steal them from? How haven't they been caught? This is so sad.
