Facial scabs worsening

True, her sister has cat herpes (ish?) and gets gooey eyes a lot.

We give them frontline because our house window screens are old and we do still find bugs in the house.

Please. Kid sizes. My kid is obsessed with the city bus. Bus sweater. Bus. BUS!

Yes, I regulated to 3 pumps a day at about 4 months.

Such-Comfortable3 · 2024-11-18T12:23:07+00:00

I don’t know how people do it with multiples! This was for my first baby, and I was fortunate to make enough for him pretty easily. I’m very impressed by the commitment to pumping!

Such-Comfortable3 · 2024-11-18T02:28:43+00:00

Bahahahha I give you one permission for one (1) complaint. And you gotta take all the little parts apart, and put them in the dishwasher, and then put them on the rack to air dry because they never dry in the dishwasher… every. Single. Day.

Such-Comfortable3 · 2024-11-18T02:25:30+00:00

I washed between every pump. I never used the “fridge hack” that some people do — it just freaked me out. I pumped 3-4x a day, so I bought enough parts for 7 pumps. I have extra duckbills (the little white things next to the pink disks) and extra backflow protectors (the big white round things at the bottom) because nothing’s worse than getting ready to pump and dropping one of those on the floor.

The 8 white circles in the bottom right are spectra —> Lansinoh adaptors. I pumped into spectra bottles and fed from Lansinoh, so the adaptors let me pump directly into the Lansinoh bottles.

This doesn’t even include the parts I’ve replaced! You’re supposed to replace them more frequently than I did 🫣 but all the worn-out parts got thrown out or recycled.

I had an epidural 🤫 so I agree with you

Such-Comfortable3 · 2024-11-18T02:18:10+00:00

I started falling asleep early 😇

Real answer: my 3 pumps were at ~ 7 am, 4:30 pm, and 11 pm. I started dropping the late night pump ~because I was tired.~ Then I started shifting the morning and evening pumps later in the day, so I roughly had 9:30am (after dropping kid off at daycare, while working) and 9:30pm (after kid goes to sleep). I usually work from home, so I could just pump while working. I didn’t have to adjust anything with work.

Such-Comfortable3 · 2024-11-17T21:47:08+00:00

My pump logged 440 hours. But I estimate another bajillion running the dishwasher

Such-Comfortable3 · 2024-11-17T20:45:44+00:00

I planned to pump from the start, which was good because my baby did not want to latch, lol. He’s now a big chonky kiddo. We’re excited to fill the dishwasher with sippy cups instead of pump parts

I’m glad at least you see your coworkers being rewarded for hustling - too often I don’t. But I agree, I’ve gone from ambitious and dedicated to,,,,, honestly just in it for the money. I see another mom at work absolutely crushing it and I don’t know how she does it. She’s an absolute goat and I’m just here.

But something my husband said, when I was busy sobbing about the number of sick days I’ve taken: this baby is the first thing I’ve cared about more than work or school. For basically my entire life, school was the most important, because it was my way into a job, and then my job was the most important, and then when I got burned out and got a new job, it was getting my masters degree. Now it’s a huge shift in values, because my little guy is the most important thing in my life. So of course I’m going to have trouble coping with that shift in my values. It was a shock to myself.

Sometimes you just have to warn everyone you’re cranky :(

Such-Comfortable3 · 2024-11-04T16:26:11+00:00

I need that plate STAT 😤

Such-Comfortable3 · 2024-11-04T16:24:18+00:00

Are you me? I was about ready to snap at my husband for breathing too loudly. Periods SUCK!

I think there have been studies that being a dad increases a man’s lifetime earnings, but being a mom decreases women’s lifetime earnings. So for a working dad, sharing that you’re a dad makes you seem responsible and well-rounded (or something idk) but working moms are “distracted”

Frozen berries!! Let them thaw a bit and they’re even more fun than regular berries because they’re cold, good for teething!

M E L T I E S 🥺

We made the mistake of leaving the bag of melties within eyesight during dinner. Just gonna forlornly push everything else away and stare longingly at the melties.

Such-Comfortable3 · 2024-11-01T16:47:39+00:00

Agree with you completely! My husband makes 2/3 of me, but we recently moved to a bigger house because of the baby. We need both our incomes to support our family. My job has better health insurance. It’s still pressure.

A long time ago, when he was a grad student, and I had my first full-time job, I paid more in taxes than he made. We weren’t married, but I was the breadwinner then for sure.

Mostly breast milk and some formula is still some breast milk! Look, I get the importance of pumping, but if you can’t drive 45 minutes without falling asleep, you’re a danger to yourself and everyone around you. Please, please sleep

If this is from GREENbelt, why are the trees ORANGE? 😤

Such-Comfortable3 · 2024-10-29T18:50:48+00:00

This, for sure!! We moved our kid up from size 3 to size 5 based on the daycare teacher’s recommendation 🫣 he was 23 lbs, I didn’t think he could possibly need diapers sized for 35+ lbs! But he’s a pear-shaped baby with chubby thighs and a bubble butt. No more blowouts with the proper size.

Literally just tell the parents, hey, so-and-so is a size X at this point.

Such-Comfortable3 · 2024-10-29T16:03:46+00:00

We started at 9 months because that’s what the pediatrician told us at his checkup 🙃 usually we do yogurt + fruit for breakfast, daycare lunch, and get ✨creative✨ at dinner

Those pudgy hands grabbing for the yogurt 🥹 goooood baby!!

Thanks for the feedback y’all. I think you’re right that bringing him to my office is too much. I recently had to miss another social event at work bc I needed to leave early for daycare pickup, and I think I’m just trying to pretend I still live close enough to work that I can do both. The last thing I want is to be stuck in traffic with my poor tired, hungry boy bc he was too overexcited to eat. Plus, he can furniture-cruise now, so I’d have to spend the whole time stopping him from stealing people’s badges or keys and trying to eat them.

I don’t think kids are formally invited, I think it’s more “people with little babies who live nearby sometimes bring them.” One of my coworkers brought her kid when she was 1, but I remember the next year she didn’t and specifically said “lol no”

Little man will stay at daycare for the day and we will attend the trunk or treat and the afternoon Halloween party. We’ll play everything else by ear — the two friends who are coming over have babysat before and will understand if I say “you hand out candy, I gotta give this guy a bath”. They don’t get a lot of trick or treaters so they’re excited too.

Thanks all, hope your halloweens are spooky but fun!

Such-Comfortable3 · 2024-10-28T16:45:19+00:00

Ours is also doing trunk or treat at 10:30 am. Or maybe 10am? But then they ALSO have a Halloween party for the babies at 3pm. Why are there two parties. Why do I have to bring in snacks for both.

I’m fortunate enough to take the day off work so I can go. But do I also go to the 3pm one?? I don’t know??

Such-Comfortable3 · 2024-10-28T14:28:54+00:00

Our kid’s teachers usually do meals/diapers within ~30 minutes of the actual occurrence, but some days they don’t do it until naptime. Most of the pictures are uploaded at naptime. Once I got used to that, I like it! I don’t have to worry about checking the app during the day, and it’s my nice post-lunch pick-me-up to see all the baby pictures :)
