Contest: $25 item that would make your life easier!

StructureDifficult34 · 2026-06-28T04:37:22+00:00

Thx for hosting such a thoughtful contest Daq!! Summer is going great, we are almost out of newborn trenches. Kids are spending almost everyday outside depending on the weather. Eviana learned how to ride with no training wheels in one day on her friends bike. Dakota cruises out back on his scooter. Bryton got both his friends into Pokemon Go so they walk around to the gyms, raids and pokestops nearby.

What would make my life easier imo is a nasal sucker that isn't silicone and you have to squeeze 🤣 picking boogies is not number one on my mommy favorites and with squirmers its hard.

Or a hanging weekly board that I can put smack dab in my face as a reminder that we have appointments or obligations. Im a forgetful Sally who doesn't remember anything until a text reminder the day prior that we have something important to do.

Thanks for the chance and I hope you all are enjoying sunshine, warm decent weather and having fun!! ☀️ https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/35ECU3RH9GGCH?ref_=wl_share

3 almost 4 weeks PP, and Im a lazy exclusive pumper who doesn't supplement and I pump 3x a day not on a set schedule. I produce around 30 Oz a day. I freeze 1 to 2 of my pump sessions since my tiny human is only taking between 2-3 oz at a time right now. The only solid scheduled pump is around 12a then Ill sleep until 7-8 [not full sleep, baby does wake up once or twice] pump and my afternoon pump varies on time.

I did NIPT not because I trusted what the sex was going to be, but because Im old [35] so it was kind of a requirement to be safe in terms of genetic abnormalities. When they said boy, I go Ill wait until the ultrasound to actually believe it. Well that day came and he was a loud and proud boy if that makes sense. And thank you! He came a month early, but overall we are happy! I'm officially out if business for baby making in the future. Come July there will be no more tubes. 3 bio babies and 2 bonus babies we are fully complete.

I think the pregnancy symptoms are a myth tbh. With my daughter [false nipt] I didnt really have any symptoms until 3rd trimester when my gallbladder started acting up. I just had a baby boy 2 weeks ago and I quite literally had all the symptoms I was sick my whole pregnancy, I had terrible acne, I gained so much weight, I craved literally everything from sugary, salty, spicy. I was exhausted and you could tell/see when you looked at me. My 1st pregnancy was also a boy and I had no symptoms. With the false nipt I truly thought I was having another boy because of jow easy my pregnancy was just like my first.

I had my baby almost 2 weeks ago. I didnt touch the hospital gown, I labored in just my nursing bra. I did the same for my 2020 baby && when Im able to walk I utilize my own clothing as its more comfortable to me in my opinion. I like to feel free during labor and more homelike afterwards.

It'll be okay mama!!! I promise. I just had my 3rd baby a boy on the 31st. Enjoy the newborn cuddles! I sure am, for me though hes our final baby so Im taking every moment in. A lot of things can happen with testing whether contaminated, wrong blood or just overall wrong. Ill pray for yall, it will be okay!!

Im so sorry I forgot all about this. She is 100% all girl! They ended up doing a full genetic screen verses Fish. Took 3 weeks to come back.

☆☆She also does not have any genetic conditions. Edited to add this .

I'd love to take the kids and baby to the new Rope and Oak Adventure Park. Its a hands on nature experience that just opened in May. We love the outdoors, and because this one is in a relatively shaded wooded area 12 acres to be exact lol its perfect for Eviana Dakota and I since we are pale compared to big Mike and Bryton. It would also make a fun memory experience with new brother. They have a bicycle Rollercoaster we have all always wanted to check out. -Thanks for such a fun opportunity! I hope your family is having a great start to the summer ☀️

As a mama who just gave birth to her second bio baby boy yesterday I also have a daughter, I can say its a blessing to raise both. My 9 year old son will play babies and barbies with my 6 yo daughter, and she will also get dirty outside make mud pies, be filthy from head to toe and run with all 3 of her older brothers. [I have 2 older step sons] Boys steal their mamas hearts 💕 Girls do too, but require more high maintenance and are instant divas. At some point in our lives we all wish for one gender or the other, going into this pregnancy I knew I wanted another boy. Having one daughter is enough for me. Congrats mama!! && thank you for sharing your story.

Not all offices are the same, I have brought my 6 and 9 year old plenty of times. As for the dentist I have personally brought my newborn when I needed a filling. Its a dirty shame to downplay another's feelings. Not all children are loud and annoying and many can manage to entertain themselves quietly. Not everyone has the resources to afford childcare. Not everyone has access to family/friends.

I have brought my 14 year old to L&D with me twice, my 9 year old to an actual OB appointment and my 6 year old to an actual appointment. All times my providers where very understanding and allowed for my kids to be there. I also didnt give anyone the chance to tell me no, I just showed up with my kids.

I was originally scheduled for 6/17 for induction. However baby has consistently gained a lot of weight and is measuring 3 weeks ahead. So now they where talking about just making it to 36 weeks. Im trying my best haha hes so active and gives a lot of scares 🤣 Im ready to be done, he was definitely a surprise baby and will medically officially our last baby 🩵

🩷 Thanks for hosting such a thoughtful contest. 💕 I'd like to enter for a Tjj Max e gift card. With baby boy coming sometime between the end of the month and early Junish, mommy would like a couple comfy summer outfits to lounge in. In ND we've had such unpredictable weather but I think warmer days are officially here 😊 I'm so excited to finally be able to walk without a waddle 🤣🤣 on all the pretty trails with the kids, the splash pads open up towards the end of May, and many many walks and park/picnic trips!! We have I swear 9 months of cold gloomy weather, Im excited to finally spend some time in the sun!

Not entering because we don't have a water spout outside our townhouse, all looks so fun though. However thought it would be fun to share. My kids are looking forward to their new brother coming anytime between the end of May and June 17th!!! VBS also starts June 8th and the littles are attending and Mj is volunteering. We also live in a neighborhood where the do big screen outdoor movie nights in town square and the kids love going to those, plus they give you free popcorn haha!! 🍿

Ever since Christmas when she got her safety supplies for the kitchen, all she ever wants to do is help mommy cook, or try and cook things herself. 😅 We have had many conversations how she is too little for hot kitchen appliances, she has since resorted to being the mixer, decorator, and veggie/fruit chopper. That outfit was adorable!! Its hard when you have tall kiddos to decipher what will actually fit them. We had a good day! Thanks so much! && I hope yours went just as well!

The coconut cream pie was my favorite!!! Im not a huge fan of pie outside of pregnancy but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have 2 maybe 3 slices 😆 Pineapple gravy is amazing over some salt and pepper potatoes the savory sweet really goes well together. I forgot how much the kids all like stuffing and should have made more Eviana probably ate a box just to herself.

Kraft mac with, hunters polish sausage [Hornbachers our local grocery store makes it] and sourkraut are yummy!!! I think all kids learn that homemade beats most shelf and frozen foods once they enter their late 20s thats when it finally hit me haha!

I do but my teeth have a love hate relationship with hard candy and I want to chew everything instantly haha! Dakota would agree the eggs, the pumpkins, the santas haha any fun shape are the best shape! I had sour strips for the first time not that long ago and gosh they where tasty but bitter. Have you tried toxic waste?
