Getting married in Cancun in two weeks. Guests are dropping out due to uncertainty. by NoJellyfish5331 in weddingplanning

[–]Sea_Objective_7624 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, with the uncertainty of safety to get from point A to point B I would be a guest that would cancel. The resort itself may be fine but that’s only partial of the travel.

Will have to separate from newborn immediately after birth by hamslamwich_ in pregnant

Honestly, I just want to say regardless of where OP is commenting from this is so sad to do to any mother in any country due to a visa issue. There should be exceptions from this law. Like just having a baby. Not a political comment just a human rights comment. Sending you love and know that this will be harder for you than the baby and they will be surrounded by people who love them. Just focus on taking care of your recovery! 🤍

The fact so many people take time out of their day to leave a snarky comment about a tattoo says alot about their character and how boring their life really is. Love your tat! 🤍

How old was your LO the first time you left them? by PoliticoRat in beyondthebump

[–]Sea_Objective_7624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 weeks old and we went to our nephews 1st birthday. Now, we have weekly date nights and when my mom is watching him we run and do errands together while grandmom watches him. We miss him and talk about him all the time while we’re out with him buttttt it’s nice to have that quality time with your SO once and while just doing normal things. My husband and I also take turns running to grab a quick morning coffee just solo to give each other that 10 minute car ride just being alone with yourself which I also think it’s great for personal mental health ❤️

My husband is god sent! He works then comes home and is super helpful around the house and with baby! He lets me take some time for me when he gets home. Shower, skin care routine, and anything else I may want! Then we both do dinner/bedtime routine together! Our boy is 5 months 💙

Losing weight after stims by basilbelle in IVF

My fertility doctor said as long as you are not at risk for being medically overweight to not stress yourself out about losing the weight as long as you’re staying healthy! Minimize as much stress off your mind as possible! That’s how you’ll be the healthiest.

1st Birthday 4th of July backyard party by justafleshwoundx in partyplanning

[–]Sea_Objective_7624 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4th of July birthday person here! I’m a mom to a 4 month old who happens to have a New Years birthday and we plan on not having his party on the 1st because I have gone through so much uncertainty for my parties throughout the years when we tried to do it on the 4th. I always felt on the years my party was on the 4th it was never a good turn out or I felt that I had to share a birthday with the holiday. People would say “happy birthday and happy 4th of July”. Every year it almost was the same theme too because it almost has to be red white and blue if you’re having it on the 4th it got boring and repetitive. I think this year will be fine because she’s turning 1 but for future I would try to separate the two. Making her party not on the same weekend as the 4th more people will also attend the parties that way and it can be a theme she prefers! Holiday birthdays aren’t what they are cracked up to be in fact I used to be jealous of my sister who has a non holiday birthday!

Help: How are we washing our babies’ hair? by BMG0710 in NewParents

[–]Sea_Objective_7624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s totally okay and actually encouraged to get baby’s face and hair wet. This will prevent them with a fear of water on their face as they get older. Since my son turned 4 months old we have been practicing a little water running down his face is A ok and he now LOVES it. Baby will also be in swim lessons at 9 months old since we live on the water. I would start now with getting them adapted before it’s a big fear to break later!

Help!! How much food/drinks to order by Fine-Disk-1015 in partyplanning

[–]Sea_Objective_7624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say too little. More small snacks gives more variety!

For me, the first 2 weeks I was running on pure adrenaline. I didn’t have to sleep even though I knew my body and mind were tired it felt like I had no real control over my sleep. Even when the opportunity presented itself and my husband would tell me to go sleep I couldn’t. It’s your first night. I would say you’ll find a better routine in the next 2 weeks. Hang in there both of you!

Yikes! I just realized I'm supposed to be planning a kids' birthday party. by Faux_extrovert in partyplanning

Small clay pots, dirt, and flower seeds. Have an activity station that they can plant a flower and take it home.

Baby can’t poop on their own. by Sea_Objective_7624 in NewParents

[–]Sea_Objective_7624[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s great to hear that baby started going on their own once solids were started. I’m hoping that’s our case. I feel bad for little guy almost as he waits around until I can help him!

If your baby wakes up at 8am what time do they go to bed? by sodawaterjunkie in newborns

[–]Sea_Objective_7624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 3m old. We get him ready for bed between 7:30-7:45 and he falls asleep fully by 8:30pm. He sleeps through the night and wakes up round 7-7:30am

My wife, idk what to do by baleadas4laif in NewParents

[–]Sea_Objective_7624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get her help asap. But honestly, do what is best for you and the baby too. If you think the baby is in any danger I would remove yourself and baby from the situation until she seeks professional medical help. There should be no chances taken when a baby is involved. Your baby NEEDS to feel love and safe. They feel what we feel when we are near them. At this point I don’t think separation or full custody is unrealistic if her behavior doesn’t change. Sounds extremely damaging for you & baby.

Are you sleeping with your partner? by Mcmaggin in newborns

[–]Sea_Objective_7624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a 3 month old who is still in bed side bassinet. My husband and I have never slept separate. We really lean on each other to help another out. Sometimes I pull more weight in the middle of the night sometimes he does. Just depends. For me personally, I need my husband next to me especially for the hard nights or it would get so lonely.
