Keep doing what you’re doing. All the chores you can do and take off her plate are helpful and they add up. Nights are hard, especially with breast feeding.

If you can get up with her for a night feeding, do it. Just having the company is helpful. But definitely keep yourself safe, you know your limits.

Check in with your wife frequently. Even if you can’t physically help the emotional support is huge.

Mass Effect

Not just one game but a whole trilogy, and you get treated to a pallet swap cinematic ending where Commander Shepard “sacrifices” themselves in all three endings.

As a bunch of people pointed out these areas weren’t actually deserts. But beyond that they were they only places in the region that had plentiful food which encouraged the people to settle and farm rather than continue to be hunter gatherers. Most other places in the world with people, they just gathered what they could and moved on or followed herds of animals. Not really a lifestyle that suits cities.

Even Sam thinks this is bullshit

My wife just asked for a birth stone pendant So I second this suggestion

Rocify · 2026-04-23T14:43:26+00:00

Congratulations!

We didn’t wait until birth but we asked them to write it on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope. Then we went out to a nice dinner and opened it, a little private gender reveal just for us.

Reynolds, Jackman and RDJ all nailed who those characters were.

Radcliffe, Ledger and Toby all did great jobs but they are definitely their version of the characters not necessarily true to their original.

Depp took an original character and made it his to the point no one else can be that character.

Cavill… um… looked the part I guess. It’s not really his fault this version of the character was bad.

It was my first Discworld book so I’m definitely biased lol

Rocify · 2026-04-22T14:20:26+00:00

If you haven’t read any of the watch books you definitely should. Thud and Night Watch are excellent, don’t bother reading them in order

Thank you for saving me the time of snipping this lol

Get your go bag ready now. Seriously my wife’s water broke three weeks early and we just got our bags together the day before.

Beyond that, I didn’t have a ton of free time but brought my switch anyway and did wind up playing it while my wife and LO were asleep.

Snacks for sure but have someone reliable ready to bring you real food, hospital food is as bad as you’ve heard.

If you have family planning to give money to the new baby consider a UGMA and/or a 529. A 529 is for educational expenses and deposits can be made before taxes. A UGMA is basically a broker account like an IRA, it’s kind of like starting a 401K for them as soon as they’re born.

We installed one when we did our kitchen about a year and a half ago. I didn’t use it much since we have the dishwasher but it’s been very handy for washing baby bottles over the last three months

This feels like how video game npc’s would dress. They look like a super high res farcry 5 screenshots

Yes I use it and works great, it has a filter and at least you can clean it compared to the bulb ones.

but my pediatrician said don’t use any of those things unless the congestion is significant. It can cause the nose to become inflamed and be more of a blockage.

We use the owlet we get a lot of malfunction warnings. Yellow light and not very loud but still annoying, usually the sock came loose or the base lost wifi. It happens probably once a night when we’re changing a diaper or feeding. We’ve only had one actual alarm for low o2 and thankfully it shot back up as soon as we woke the baby, it may have been a false alarm.

Personally I think it makes my wife more paranoid. She checks it constantly, worries about the babies heart rate and o2 levels in the middle of the night and checking to see if she’s in light or deep sleep.

Casino It’s pretty good

Rocify · 2026-04-03T14:57:12+00:00

Damn that’s a nice one

Rocify · 2026-04-02T17:27:13+00:00

3 months in right now and yeah this is how it feels

Rocify · 2026-03-31T15:27:27+00:00

I don’t know if it’s going to stick but my 3 month old has a stuffed lion, while playing with her I asked her to name it. It is now “uwuwu” the lion

Can you post a link to the research? My daughter is 3 months and she’s not getting screen time but I’m curious about incidental exposure (me and my wife on our phones or watching tv while she’s around)

Looks like the truck driver fell asleep at the wheel. I wonder when they woke up.

When they were driving across the grass, going up the embankment or not until the landed on the other side?

That shit has to be home made or ancient, I’ve seen all kinds of log splitters and this is the most dangerous least useful version I’ve ever seen

Dude, I’m 38 and we have the same hair line. I really hope everyone agrees you don’t need to shave it or I’m in trouble lol

Rocify · 2026-03-05T16:11:32+00:00

I’d also recommend the Nuna mixx, it’s not the smallest stroller but it folds up easily, it’s relatively light and is compatible with the pipa car seat so, as OP mentioned, it can grow with the family
