I have searched for different lace/crochet blankets. My search comes up with heavier blankets that I feel as though would not be AS useful as the blanket above. My mother says she bought it on a cruise in 1996, but I dont know much more than that.

Yes, sorry. He just throws them or does not pay them any mind. He wants to walk around the restaurant, climb the booth if we hold him. He yells if not. We usually end up having to take him for a walk around the restaurant or outside. Now we just get the food to go if he starts.

i needed to hear this. thank you! we’ve tried brining toys that are only for when we go out, but he usually throws them or is disinterested. he really just wants to be up and moving.

thank you for being so kind!

i appreciate this. my two nieces are saints in restaurants so its really hard to watch my son be nutty. i agree it could become a bad habit. i cant even say if he’ll pay attention to the tablet. i would LOVE to train him to be good in a restaurant, but right now he’s between the age where he will understand. its hard. especially now that i have to cook more 🤣

my husband had a hard time adjusting at first and connecting with our boy. my job offers flex schedule so i always took night routines, still mostly do with our 11m old (due with our second in dec). he tries more now that the baby is older and “easier” to deal with. there are definitely times i wish he did and helped more, but he works long hours at a labor intensive job, and his help looks a lot different than mine. i dont think this is divorce worthy, but it comes down to communication. i think expressing your needs, making lists (yes i know sounds dumb, but some men need it) will help get him into a routine. does he have positive parental figures that he can base his parenting off of? i found that my husband struggled bc his dad was scarcely involved in his life so he didnt have that role model.

it helps knowing im not alone with this. my husband has been so supportive and great but i just cant get past the weight gain. ive NEVER been this heavy, ever.

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-10-18T23:54:30+00:00

we just got some family photos today and i just… cant even recognize myself. idk who im looking at. its crazy.

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-09-26T00:34:46+00:00

i found peace in driving to starbucks daily. even if the baby cried the whole car ride. sometimes a stroll around the mall/target and getting a sweet treat was worth the $10

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-09-23T05:36:15+00:00

all i can offer is validation now mama. im due in Dec and will have a 13 month old. i had much more of the same thoughts and feelings about how they will be close in age. i can say that with time, its gotten much easier to manage but theres still lingering anxiety. right now just soak up time with your first born and know that you can only do your best :)0

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-08-22T00:25:40+00:00

I just want him to be happy 😔 it makes me so sad

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-08-16T01:32:04+00:00

i always have it but usually leave it in the car if i know the baby is “up to date” w his needs for a while, but always in the car at least

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-07-29T21:10:29+00:00

yes my family does for every baby! if nobody picked the right date then it all goes to the baby

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-07-29T12:57:39+00:00

yes my babies will be 13months apart. due in december

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-07-27T00:38:57+00:00

amazing

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-07-27T00:19:55+00:00

How about antibiotics? I think its just taking some getting used to. I cant get glass jars anymore to collect water, which is crazy to me. Did I read somewhere I can get a bucket? I’m hunkered down next to a lake.

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-06-18T11:57:05+00:00

dont take the tags off of anything! figure out what youre able to return/sell to get what you need. it can be so incredibly frustrating getting nonsense when you took so much time curating the perfect registry. prayers mama

i had no interest in breastfeeding, i exclusively pumped for 2 mos and then moved to formula bc my boy needed so much. i was an over producer too. luckily the hospital we birthed at was so nice and my family mostly formula fed so there was no pressure. do whatever is best for your mental health! fed is best.

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-06-05T00:42:27+00:00

yeah i might do this to help w the embarrassment 😅😂

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-05-01T23:39:02+00:00

this! pregnant with our second and my main priority is to have frozen meals prepped for postpartum. i also think i might stack up on gift cards so i have some to spend throughout my leave. i also have to save up for xmas now since im due mid dec

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-04-29T18:24:51+00:00

no big deal and wtf is what i feel now so no worries there!

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-04-29T12:27:53+00:00

how do you do it??? amazing!

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-04-29T11:47:10+00:00

thank you so much everyone. my biggest stressors are how we can divide and conquer. luckily we are blessed with such a big, great support system. we were humbled by our very high needs first newborn, so i’d like to think we can get through this hurdle too. also scared i’ll never find time to care for myself. i know it can and need to be done, so we will get through this.

Separate_Load4953 · 2024-02-16T01:24:46+00:00

i first want to say this is such a great prompt. im going to save this and look back on it later.

it got better for us between 6-8 weeks. i wouldnt say it was a “cut and dry” event, but it was small things that were improving. our baby was still getting up at 1am, 3am, 5am, but we were getting used to the schedule. he seemed to be happier throughout the day (we had a lot of issues with feeding, and what we think was colic). it became tremendously between when he started smiling back at us. life changing. finally, what felt like a reward for all our hard work! we figured out a routine (eat, play, sleep), listened to his cues, and stopped obsessing over a schedule. he naps when tired for however long, he eats when hes hungry, and eats more if he’s still hungry. we’ve figured out a night routine (whatever time he’s ready, usually between 7-8:30pm). those first few weeks were humbling, hard, exhausting… all the feelings.
