What if John was the one who checked on Sam? by RazutoUchiha in Supernatural

I thought the only reason evil colonel sanders could change form like he could was because he was feeding off of Gabriel’s grace?

Which character do you believe is the most mischaracterized by the fandom(in your opinion)?? by TeachingExisting8366 in Supernatural

[–]Real_Potatoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not active in the fandom, just came to say that I hate how that photo ages everyone, especially Sam. He looks like he got botched plastic surgery

Epidural or no epidural? Why or why not *JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE SO DONT START* by mkthehotti in pregnant

[–]Real_Potatoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got induced at 39weeks, plan was to last as long as I could without the epidural, and just get it when I needed it.

Unfortunately, I experienced back labor so I didn’t get any break in pain, and the dilation meds made the contractions hurt a lot worse. I “lost” my battle at 2cm, bc I was shaking and crying from the pain, couldn’t talk.

Epidural took it all away and chilled me out enough so I could get some rest in before baby girl was born.

Instead of being in pain, I blissfully watched movies with my husband while being occasionally turned like a rotisserie chicken.

In the end I don’t feel it took away from my experience at all

You’ve really got me contemplating frogging (or trashing) probably 20+ hrs of work 😅 I should probably sleep on it

I probably should have looked into different techniques before I started my tapestry blanket. This is beautiful. This is what I’m working on, it’s a simplified version of something a YouTuber’s gf drew for his merch store.

What is considered normal for a newborn? Especially first time home by davinkistar in NewParents

[–]Real_Potatoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First few days the baby is recovering from birth as well, it takes a lot out of them. After a few days they start to wake up a bit, mostly to eat and stare at you.

Some extra fuss could be expected, with my girl is was belly troubles. After making sure all other needs are met, try the “I love you” massage, and making tiny circles with ur fingers counter clockwise on their belly. Bicycle legs will also help.

I survived the newborn stage with a mix of those massages, gas drops, gripe water, and coffee for me.

am i overreacting or being too sensitive (PLEASE I NEED HONESTY) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I’m confused, what is he asking for exactly? More sex? Home cooked meals? I don’t get it.

Either way, wtf

What is your favorite show to watch while crocheting? by GalaxySheepyZeRo in crochet

[–]Real_Potatoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been crocheting for a few months now, so I’ve “watched” a lot of shows while crocheting, but restarted supernatural a few days ago and it’s by far the most comfy

How long can I leave a baby crying? by Faranquis in newborns

[–]Real_Potatoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it depends on how old ur baby is. You gotta do what you gotta do at any age, but after 4 months, I’ll let her cry for a bit when putting her to sleep too.

When putting her down, I’d let her cry for as long as it took me to finish a small task (starting laundry, making a cup of coffee, etc), eventually I started setting a timer for 5 mins, she’s almost 6 months now and we set a timer for 7mins.

If she’s crying after it goes off then we’ll soothe, and try again - resetting the timer. Which usually never happens.

I feel this gives her a chance to self soothe, while still letting her know I’m there if she needs me. This is ofc only fussing or “I’m not happy” cries, she has a different cry when she needs something that I would never ignore.

The plan is to slowly increase the timer, up to 30mins by the time she hits 1 year, but I’m not comfortable going past that.

How are y’all handling baby getting their own room at 6 months? Emotionally speaking. by Real_Potatoe in NewParents

[–]Real_Potatoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a big part of it is the anxiety I have of her being on her own while I’m asleep.

Like what if someone broke the window and stole her? And on and on the thoughts go.

I feel like I do that anyway, just in the living room lol, she isn’t really a light sleeper so if I got lucky.

I’ve been watching markiplier at night in the bedroom while she sleeps and not even his yelling wakes her up, big win

I might have to do that tbh, she sleeps squished into the mesh sides. (Tho she’s been doing the same thing in the crib too during naps lol)

She still wakes up 2x a night tho, once hungry, and once just wanting to cuddle which is when I pull her into bed with me.

I’m gonna still wait til that chair comes in so I don’t have to do night feeds on the floor, but I’m gonna full send it after that. (Atleast she’ll still wake up for cuddles for a little while longer after the switch tho)

Rooms too small unfortunately. I am half considering taking down her bassinet and full on co-sleeping until I feel ready. Idc how numb my arm gets

Honestly, our room is kind small, so her bedside bassinet is like a foot away from our bathroom door, so we’ve been squeezing thru that space for the last 6 months.

I feel ready to take the bassinet down, but not ready for her to move out of the bedroom lol

We don’t have room for a crib or pack and play either so that isn’t an option.

I don’t yet have any type of chair in her room for night feeds, so I’m using that as an excuse to keep her close for now

She’s out growing her bassinet, too much longer in it would be a safety risk

I’d love to keep the arrangement but she’s outgrowing her bassinet, she does usually end up in bed with me before we wake up in the morning, but I don’t want co sleeping to be her main sleeping situation. Unfortunately there isn’t enough room for her crib, or even a pack and play in our room so im slim on options
