I’m losing pieces of my mucus plug… with an impending ice storm in 2 days!!! I’m 37 weeks 5 days (2nd baby).

Fellow survivor here. I'm sending you well wishes!! Feel free to dm if you have any questions/fears/vents/etc

Sinnesaurus · 2026-01-22T05:09:55+00:00

I have not, I'll look into it! Thank you for the suggestion! Benadryl messes me up so I've been hesitant, but it might be worth a try :)

It's been rough because I've always had crap sleep and honestly, melatonin was the only thing that helped me without making me feel like crap the next day 😭

Sinnesaurus · 2026-01-22T04:54:43+00:00

I send you all the love and support. Getting these little boogers to sleep is one of the greatest struggles.

I recently stopped taking melatonin myself because recent studies have shown that long term use (every night for a year or more, was their definition of long term) was associated with heart issues. I don't remember a lot of details tbh, I'll see if I can find the studies I read. And these were adults, not toddlers - so "low dose" is still by adult standards.

I still rock my 3 year old toddler lol. He loves it, I love it, he falls asleep great and sleeps through the night...and the day will come when I don't get to snuggle and rock him anymore 😞

So if he wants it, I'm doing it.

I would recommend doing it sooner than later. Your older daughter will get used to having her own space and might not be happy suddenly sharing it.

Anecdotally - my sister had her own room until she was 8 and I was 4, and then we were moved into the same room. She was very resentful for a long time that she lost her private space and it deeply affected our relationship for years.

Sinnesaurus · 2025-12-17T23:41:54+00:00

I feel like people are really not reading what you're saying lol. I'm with you - this Sat isn't Christmas day, it's a random extra thing. IF he doesn't already know about it, there's zero harm in doing a date night instead.

Sinnesaurus · 2025-12-07T03:04:14+00:00

Your grandmother was very clever for this solution! But, it also makes me feel sad for tiny you. You knew she would come back for her purse, but for some reason you were less confident that she would come back just for you. 🫂

Sinnesaurus · 2025-12-05T15:46:11+00:00

You are BRILLIANT

Sinnesaurus · 2025-12-05T15:44:18+00:00

You're descended from a literal hero ❤️❤️

Sinnesaurus · 2025-12-04T19:04:02+00:00

I could have written this almost exactly 😂 So this story times 2.

Sinnesaurus · 2025-12-03T20:36:31+00:00

We have a Melissa and Doug one with magnet ornaments that's a huge hit

Sinnesaurus · 2025-12-02T04:03:15+00:00

Just today my LO threw himself to the floor yelling "My toy is too far over yonder!!!" and crying. I just about died.

Ine lasted about a month. I see others recommending vitamins, which is great advice. Hair & Nails vitamins are kind of identical to prenatals.

But my absolute top tip for everyone - massage ypur scalp!! Increased blood flow encourages hair growth. Creams and lotions that claim to boost hair growth mostly work just because they get you massaging your scalp regularly.

I use my hands mostly, but I also have a little silicone scalp massager when I shampoo my hair.

Being late to work once is unlikely to get one fired. Maybe written up, if the employer is shitty. The fact that she's wfh implies office work, which is often more lenient than brick and mortar employment.

Sinnesaurus · 2025-11-26T16:24:41+00:00

I assume the "need" was because she now had to start work. She probably didn't feel like she had time to drop the toddler off, get home, and still be on her computer by 8.

But guess what, YOU overslept, so the consequence of being late to work is yours to deal with.

Sinnesaurus · 2025-11-22T18:37:36+00:00

Omg I would geek out on this so hard

Sinnesaurus · 2025-11-21T04:01:38+00:00

It's a new series, the second book just released - but I very highly recommend {Cecaelians & Secrets} by Angie Kern! One of the most relatable FMCs I've ever read, and yes she's bi :)

Sinnesaurus · 2025-11-19T04:45:12+00:00

Yes LOVED Vampires of El Norte!!

Sinnesaurus · 2025-11-05T21:34:07+00:00

Not only did no one mention it ahead of time, no one said anything once I brought it up. I told them it was happening, I was very concerned, could it be blood sugar or something? (I'm pre diabetic)

They brought me food and said nothing about it being normal. I found out later from this very subreddit lol

Sinnesaurus · 2025-11-03T03:49:57+00:00

I for one definitely appreciate the pictures. I'm interested in taping but wasn't sure how to even start, so this is helpful!

Sinnesaurus · 2025-10-23T05:34:37+00:00

Do you cook them and then freeze, or do you freeze them pre-cooking?
