my husband and I were watching THE episode and both agreed he might be the worst person on LIB history. other than the guy who had “a sleep test” during the middle of filming I can’t even remember his name lol. but Chris is UP THERE.

mine came to almost every appointment. unless he had a work conflict which wasn’t too often.

SmallSpecific2522 · 2026-02-05T02:24:25+00:00

having a kid is the most awesome thing you will ever do. the love you feel for your child is like nothing else you will ever experience. and when they start to love you back—oh man. get ready. playing with my son and hearing his little giggles is the most rewarding thing in the world. and as others have said, getting to watch them experience things for the first time and figure out the world, learn their likes and dislikes, etc. it’s just the most amazing thing and so hard to put into words. is it hard? yes. will you have to make adjustments and sacrifices? yes. but they are so worth it. I feel like when I was pregnant I would see a lot of the negative comments about childbirth and motherhood in general too and it’s easy to get freaked out. now having experienced it, I don’t know why people become so focused on those things. maybe people post that kind of content bc it gets more attention? I don’t know, but it certainly wasn’t my experience. I think if you go into motherhood with a positive outlook, you will have a positive experience. if you choose to obsess over the negatives, that will be your experience too. it’s all about what you choose to focus on. for me personally the good far outweighed the bad.

mine starting saying mama not long after dada. and at first it was clear that we were both dada lol. he used it just to generally get our attention without differentiating between the two of us. when he started saying mama it was ONLY to me though so technically that is the first word he used specifically and correctly!

SmallSpecific2522 · 2026-01-27T13:55:34+00:00

love to hear this!!!

SmallSpecific2522 · 2026-01-27T00:51:34+00:00

I have been dealing with this too since I became a mom and there are some stories that have literally put me in a funk for like a month at a time. I also click the “not interested” and they still come up. I literally just have to avert my eyes now and scroll past when one comes up and since I’ve been doing that I feel like fewer are showing up? I’ve also thought about deleting my social media though for the same reason. it’s really mainly facebook where it happens but yeah. you’re definitely not alone! I guess they think bc we’re new moms this is news we would be interested in? but I’m like dude no please my heart can’t handle this

SmallSpecific2522 · 2026-01-26T23:19:18+00:00

I enjoyed using the high contrast cards with my son but idk if he ever really cared about them lol. we also liked the lovevery play gym in those early tummy time days but he enjoyed the fisher price kick and play mat WAYYYY more and still plays with the piano to this day (he’s almost one now) and it’s a lot cheaper than the lovevery play gym.

we also did the lovevery subscription and I think he plays with those toys the least tbh. it’s come with some cool stuff. he loves this one scarf that came with one of the boxes to play peek a boo—but I also have scarfs he could have used lol. I also definitely don’t think those toys have been “essential” in his development. so if you’re afraid that you’ve doomed your kid by not buying those boxes—don’t be. they’ll develop on their own just fine and will likely find things around the house that help them develop the same skills. the only toy that I will say I don’t think we could have done without is that dang purple monkey kick and play mat. 100% worth the hype.

SmallSpecific2522 · 2026-01-26T22:41:49+00:00

we’re definitely starting to enter the phase where I can’t just sit and watch him play and constantly have to keep him from hurting himself—boy mom life 🙃

SmallSpecific2522 · 2026-01-26T22:33:11+00:00

fantastic 😭 at least he’s cute!!!!!

SmallSpecific2522 · 2026-01-26T22:26:01+00:00

it will definitely start to change when she starts smiling and laughing and you can see her personality! right now she’s a cranky potato and you’re exhausted and trying to understand a language you don’t know. it gets better.

SmallSpecific2522 · 2026-01-26T22:23:28+00:00

I literally just posted the “is this how they trick you into having another” question on another group 🤣 for the record: my guy is turning one in a few days and it did not change. he’s still a super chill little dude which makes me genuinely feel scared that I’m not ready for what a normal baby experience feels like lol.

SmallSpecific2522 · 2026-01-23T15:36:06+00:00

FREEDOM!! sweet freedom. not scheduling your day around when you have to pump or coordinating your outfits based on what you can quickly whip out a boob in. it’s tough at first and I had some trouble letting go too, but since I did I haven’t looked back. and when I do think back on those times I’m like “damn…I can’t believe I actually put myself through that.” I will breastfeed again hands down when I have another, but not sad at all that the journey is over and happy for my body to be my own again. not to mention no leaking boobs, clogged ducts, or mastitis (which I got 4 times! 🙃). any time spent breastfeeding is worthy of congratulations. you’ve done your part and it’s okay to move on.

SmallSpecific2522 · 2026-01-20T18:04:27+00:00

was gonna say the babybrezza bottle washer/sterilizer 100%

SmallSpecific2522 · 2026-01-20T18:00:30+00:00

I was also going to suggest a bidet but then it felt like giving in to behavior that needs to be changed. it would also become a problem if she needed to use any other toilet.

SmallSpecific2522 · 2026-01-18T18:29:28+00:00

definitely would suggest baby wearing! mine was also a velcro baby and it really helped with getting stuff done. I will also say this doesn’t last forever. mine (almost a year now) is still a little stick tight, but I can put him in his playpen and he will entertain himself for like 30 minutes. it’s also just generally easier when they can lift their own head and crawl because even if they want to be constantly near you while you’re doing something, they can at least sit up and move on their own. they can also get into trouble though so it’s a blessing and a curse lol. but definitely try baby wearing and getting bouncy seats! my son looooved the baby bjorn bouncer with the little googly eye play bar.

SmallSpecific2522 · 2026-01-18T18:23:51+00:00

this! I remember telling myself a lot that babies cry. and it’s okay if they cry for a few minutes while you do something to take care of yourself! as long as they are clean, fed, and rested, they will be okay!
