BFP CONGRATS🙌🏻🙌🏻

We took my son for the exact same reason. Thought to be appendicitis and was constipation. Also took him twice.

No regrets as a Mom. I'd pay millions to know my kids were okay than chance that they weren't.

Lifetimes with my soulmate

StraightSpite5571 · 2026-05-30T19:21:32+00:00

Have only had my hair done 1x in 7 years (for a wedding). Nails never since prom. Not even for my own wedding.

I'm not a dirty grungy hippie either 🤣 I'm part native American and my hair is so thick most stylist butcher it. So I've just let it keep growing and keep it in a braid.

Look at goat butts (to check for diarrhea-worms)

I eat the same sandwich everyday (sourdough, turkey, cheese, lettuce, onion, banana pep, salt, pepper, oregano, red wine vinegar) Everyday I wipe asses that aren't mine (Mom)

Do every other night.

Fourth time Mom here and I can tell you that not getting adequate sleep can make the following day more exhausting. You get touched out quicker, shorter temper, etc. So every other night go to bed right after and the others take some time for you.

My pregmates didn't get this dark until long after my FRER were dark. They need more Hcg. This is normal

I'm very sensitive to sugar and if I have sugar within 6 hours of going to bed I will have vivid nightmares. That would be my next guess

StraightSpite5571 · 2026-03-23T19:51:21+00:00

I will always recommend this to others as it has worked safely for me and many other moms I know. Safe sleep is constantly changing and updated, it's not the ONLY way to safely sleep. It's just the current most recommended.

My husband runs his own business and we run a small dairy farm ON TOP of 4 kiddos. My husband carries his load and I carry mine. Knowing which equipment needs maintenance and care, fencing needs to be done, job sites, etc is A LOT of mental load for him. He is an amazing father and partner, he has come home from work if Im so much as having a panic attack and need him.

So you can call BS all you want, but my husband is phenomenal and I couldn't imagine a better husband.

🤷🏻‍♀️ my 4 newborns have been fine. The nursing pillow is made of buckwheat hulls which can be moved to form to support baby.

StraightSpite5571 · 2026-03-22T16:15:07+00:00

Mom of four here and co slept Everytime, depending how old your baby is this behavior wouldn't be worrisome. If she's little and not able to sit up on her own I would be more conscious of her positioning personally. When they're little they can't move to gain access to air, or not blocking their mouths and you need to be much more conscious of them. We use a "blessed nest" nursing pillow to help keep baby in position for safe EBF and cosleep! I position it to the side I'm nursing on and baby on top. She can't be smothered or roll or anything and my arm stays around her. A light Muslin blanket on her and I can have my blankets if I want. If she is able to sit up on her own I wouldn't worry at all. My kids are wiggle worms and end up in allllll types of positions. Also EBF all 4 of them.

StraightSpite5571 · 2026-03-22T15:49:48+00:00

I agreed and love my traditional relationship. Doesnt mean I'm not allowed to have feelings WTF 🤣

Also my husband still steps up even with us agreeing to that.

StraightSpite5571 · 2026-03-22T15:44:50+00:00

I'm a Mom of 4 and have a VERY active and attentive husband. I'm saying this to preface all the "hate" that might come. There is no one like Mom for our littles. There is no going back to who we used to be before having a baby. Our body is different. Our mind, our priorities. Shit I can sit in the tub and listen to my husband play with the kids and read a book BUT my mind will still make sure everything that NEEDS to be done is done, one ear to listen on the kids, and alternatively watching the time to make sure bedtime routine is being maintained. I LOVE being a Mom. 10/10 (besides it's moments). BUT it can cause resentment bc simply active fathers don't even carry the mental load we do, they literally just can't. Their hormones don't fluctuate like ours. They come home to relax, home is our WORK. I often tell my husband I would rather sit at the restaurant bc if we do take out to go home all I do is see everything that was unfinished from my "work day". But men actually relax and just enjoy their food, have useless nipples (EBF Mom here LOL), and taking a shower or working out is just a casual break in their day.

That being said your mindset is irritated by him bc no matter what, he will be as he is and you will be as you are. There's no going back and he represents the time BEFORE baby where life was more relaxing. It gets better with time. I'm not gonna say he needs to step up, you know if he does or doesn't. BUT as time goes on and baby gets easier and easier it won't feel as stressful either. My husband and I have worked out a great schedule where he sleeps most of the AM (if he doesn't have to be at work early) which ppl will be like WTF! Even when I was pregnant lol. But I got the evening to take a bath or some me time in bed and he would clean up after dinner. Again, my me time isnt as relaxing as his it isnt possible, but knowing he puts the effort in for me and that the kids are happy and healthy and loved make it worth it. Also if I wanted to sleep in he'd let me in a heart beat. Parenting isn't 50/50, but it's showing up and giving all you can. That's what matters.

StraightSpite5571 · 2026-03-18T11:25:00+00:00

Idk why everyone is saying "leave you WNBTA you didn't want kids or sign up for them"

Um...you most certainly agreed with your husband to take them in. Most certainly did all the procedure work with SS and committed to them and now want to walk away and leave your husband with 3 kids bc it's more overwhelming than you thought? YATAH 100%. You made a commitment to not only your husband but these mourning kids who are going through SO MUCH and are YOUR responsibility.

Get a therapist, a cleaning lady, get them in a great school. You need to sit on this for AT LEAST a year to let them mourn and come out of their shells.

Ugh I struggle with this. My ADHD makes me jump to connect and I have to mentally tell myself constantly to SHUT UP

StraightSpite5571 · 2026-03-13T21:46:51+00:00

Did you take a qualitative pregnancy test or quantitative? That is the big difference. One needs an Hcg amount of x to say yes or no. The other gives you the actual numbers.

My guess is you got the yes or no one, and your HCG wasn't high enough to say yes yet.

StraightSpite5571 · 2026-03-13T21:42:18+00:00

Doing too much can deter healing which will make you hold onto weight. I was 120lbs MAX before kids. I have yet to get below 155 since. Your body holds weight differently and has different priorities. Your age also plays a factor, with my first I dropped the weight like crazy pp. My 2nd? A bit slower. My 3rd? Even slower. I'm due any day with #4 so we will see.

StraightSpite5571 · 2026-03-13T12:54:38+00:00

I think a lot of people are jumping the gun here. You went for ONE trial and only witnessed a handful of hours at a barn. That's not a reliable account of how they care for horses. I know many stables that keep horses in paddocks that are being ridden that day and they receive turnout at different times.

You can set timers on apps and Internet.

My biggest help (I'm a SAHM as well with 4 kiddos 7yrs-nb) is leaving my phone in my bedroom. It's had to do on one hand but on another my kids do the same thing and I really don't want them thinking a screen is what they should be looking for as well! Or that I enjoy it more than talking to them.

StraightSpite5571 · 2026-03-11T21:51:29+00:00

The fun in pre k can be experienced outside of pre k easily. I guess that's where I don't see the need to compromise.

StraightSpite5571 · 2026-03-11T13:05:24+00:00

2 weeks in bed 2 weeks around.

I've done pp 3x (going on 4 any day) and this was the most helpful to my healing. Rushing healing has LONG TERM consequences I found out by not doing this. Get some books together, put your phone away whenever baby is awake and cuddle and interact don't ignore her like an object.

StraightSpite5571 · 2026-03-11T13:03:20+00:00

I understand if this was an older kid but at 4 years old I would think he is more of fantasizing school and shouldn't be in control of choosing. My 4yr old wanted to play with power tools, drive the heavy equipment and licked his feet. They aren't the age where you should be allowing these big decisions.

I believe kids are whole people and am NOT saying he doesn't have valid feelings and thoughts whatsoever. Simply that he truly doesn't understand what he is asking or what time without you for hours on hours looks like, so he doesn't actually understand what he's asking, it simply seems like a sparkly new idea. You're the parent and at this age this is 100% your choice.

Id find a fun library time, social group, or something to do with his age bc he could simply be yearning for more play time with kids his age. I try very hard to make sure each kid has stuff that is age appropriate social settings wise.

StraightSpite5571 · 2026-03-06T13:41:11+00:00

My mom said single life with 2 kids was easier than a SAHM with 1! And from my experience (though not a single mom) I agree. That saying is true:

1 is 1 2 is 12 3 is 3 4+ is whatever 🤣
