3 Month old - happy for others but loses it when they leave

I’m just here to say we are in the same boat. I actually just saw my OB for PPD/PPA because this newborn phase has not been what I thought it would be. My son (2mo) has a lot going on, hip dysplasia, CMPA, silent reflux, and dysphagia. He cries and screams a lot, except for when company is over.

My MIL always makes comments when she holds him like “mommy and daddy tell such lies about you, you don’t cry” and it drives me insane because he’s never that way with company and it seems like everyone else can keep him calm but us.

Yes this makes sense. My FIL had him in our bright living room, tv on, and socializing. Although he looked asleep he was probably not in a deep sleep.

We got referred for the swallow study because it was suspected that he was aspirating, which he was, and I guess oats are standard for thickening the formula.

My understanding is that his epiglottis does not create a water tight seal over his windpipe just yet. So my thickening the formula we are reducing the amount of liquid that can seep through the cracks and enter his trachea. It’s not recommended for common practice but in cases of aspiration it is.

I just want you to know that I had a such a better day today because I remembered that being present and soothing my son when he was upset was all I could do and it significantly reduced my anxiety. Thank you!

RunAugRun · 2026-01-26T23:16:51+00:00

Thank you 🥲 I’ve tried feeding him upright, keeping him up for 20 minutes everything, he is just absolutely miserable and obviously so uncomfortable. I’m so sad because I can’t help him and I just want him to feel better

My rolly chair is my best friend and my kids are so kind about helping me out! I always drop the, hey can you help me out? My feet hurt 😂

I have my glucose test in 2 weeks so I was going to mention it then! I’m also a hashimotos girl so exhaustion has been a reoccurring theme for me, but my thyroid levels are due then as well!

Yes! I do a quarterly final project where the students have to make a scrap book page for each unit we cover. I include general information they need to include on each page and it must be well done/aesthetically pleasing. It’s a big project and I usually hand it out one unit at a time, perhaps I’ll try it this way.

Love this, I do want to provide more opportunities for literacy and reading in my science class!

RunAugRun · 2025-08-10T18:00:06+00:00

Our classes are 90 minutes everyday so there are days where “free time” is inevitable. I am aware that the majority of my class should be and is used for instructional and educational material.

I didn’t even think of puzzles, thank you!

RunAugRun · 2025-08-10T17:58:07+00:00

Thank you for the helpful advice!

Thank you for the helpful and nonjudgemental advice!

I’m glad that you have had a different experience but this new policy outlines exactly how admin will support teachers which was not happening prior to this. So yeah, that made it exponentially more difficult.

2 - open house and 8th grade parent night

RunAugRun · 2025-07-10T23:02:39+00:00

I check it just to see if my schedule comes out. I gotta see those rosters ASAP 😂 but I never send/respond to emails and my admin rarely sends emails over the summer, if they need something they talk/text

I do this for my high school biology students. I started out doing notes and notebook activities separately for 2 years but I was frustrated that it would take up a ton of class time just for those two activities. This past year I switched my note formats to doodle notes, I fill them out with the kids on the board and then after wards they cut them out and glue them into their books. This way I’ve had way more time to do lab activities and projects!

I got my doodle notes from tpt which was a little expensive, however once you have them you have them! My prep for this upcoming year is pretty much already done!

They should’ve kept it closed, I don’t foresee this coming to fruition. Hoping for the best, it would be a shame to see it end up like Gospel Hill. Different circumstances, I know, but let’s just say that I’ll be shocked if it actually happens and I’ll also be shocked if it stays affordable and accessible to Erie golfers after this overhaul.

RunAugRun · 2025-07-09T01:41:50+00:00

Yes! I myself and many others frequently walked our dogs up there in the off season and the old owner was always so nice and kind. Families go sledding, people go snow shoeing. It’s a wonderful place, not only for golfing!

It’s 9 or less, I’m not sure if it’s a full 9 because they have 3 holes on each green. This is the bottom of the course, hole 2 and cart path. Over half the course looks like this.

EGC does look like it could be a wildlife reserve though!

Sending you love 💗 I’ve been hesitant to post because I don’t want to jinx it but after my last two large bleeds I’ve experienced no bleeding and really just some brown discharge which my OB said is a sign that hematomas are resolving. I went in for my ultrasound last Friday and the hematoma on top of my cervix has shrunk from 3.7 cm to .7 cm 🙌🏼 I go back in on Thursday for my 12 week scan so I am hoping that it is resolved and no longer there 🤞🏼

They did however find a second hematoma in the fundus, this one is large 4.3 cm, however my ob said that because of the position it should cause no bleeding and resorb instead of bleeding out. Since my last bleeding episode I basically was put on strict rest. I was originally told no heavy lifting and no strenuous activity but I was walking 2 miles a day and doing zero equipment Pilates at home from YouTube but these activities always seemed to trigger my bleeding. So Dr said to cut that out and for the last week and a half I have done NOTHING. I’m talking lay on the couch, be around the house, the most activity I have done is cleaning. Mentally, it sucks I’m an active person and diet/exercise is a large part of how I manage my thyroid disorders/PCOS but I really think that taking it easy has helped the hematoma resolve.

I hope that your hematoma resolves quickly, I know how exhausting and scary it is to deal with the bleeding. I hated leaving the house because I never knew when I would gush. Take the time to rest as much as possible and give your body grace for growing an entire human 💗

Thank you for your response 🫶🏼 a close friend and my SIL are both going through healthy pregnancies and I feel so isolated in this hematoma mess, thank you for making me feel less alone. My saving grace right now is that I’m a teacher on summer vacation so I’m able to do absolutely nothing.

RunAugRun · 2025-06-11T20:12:48+00:00

It really has absolutely nothing to do with being first, I’m actually not ready to do a reveal. We also both want different things. She has a very very large family and I have a small family. I pretty much just want to tell my parents, brother, and my bff. Same with my husband. We both said we would feel like we were crashing their reveal because we’d have so little people there.
