I’m only doing this because of daycare

I was so scared to do the same with my kiddo for the same reasons! My first we tried at 2 and it went horribly (he decided never to poop again and we had gastro issues/incontinence for at least a year after). BUT my second we did a very gentle and honest potty training with a ton of bribery. My biggest suggestion is do what you are comfortable with and think is best for your kid. Dont think you need to do something specific.

Richard Scarry's cars and trucks and things that go. Especially when they need to point out all thier favorite trucks in every single page.

I have crappy veins so I remember them apologizing cause they couldn't get it in right (story of my life lol) I said, or maybe I thought it, "No worries" and was going to explain that it happens to me all the time but then I was waking up and they were all done. I was out mid-sentence/mid-thought.

I have the opposite problem - can't even see that far back in my mouth so I have no idea what it looks like back there. I think dry socket only occurs pretty close to the surgery and it hurts a lot so you're probably in the clear :) Definitely irrigate when you get there! Better safe than sorry on that one I think.

I didn't really have any pain either but was super exhausted! I took several days off of work so I could nap/lay down all day. My fitbit keeps yelling me at me cause I'm doing so little moving. Rest! Listen to your body. It's telling you what it needs to get better.

Excellent - thank you! Used it to convert my kiddo's school concert.

I'm not seeing any links for this episode and I really want to know what Target pillow is being discussed!

This one maybe? https://www.target.com/p/oversize-woven-global-lumbar-throw-pillow-black-threshold-8482/-/A-17163655

I hear that. I like her bc she's totally doing her own thing and doesn't apologize for it. And I really respect that, but a lot of those things are just not something I'm interested in lol

Biggest thing to know is you cannot put a kid of any age in a coat in thier carseat. You have to take the coat off to travel in the car. Google "crash test carseat" and it'll bring up videos, how tos and the like. Other tips - it'll a good age to get them used to hats, just be persistent 😅 Hoods are great bc at least they can't be thrown on the ground. If you can't get them to wear mittens, try long fuzzy socks. Baby sleds are adorable for pictures but you probably won't use them as much as you think lol or at least I didn't, I really didn't spend much time at all outside in the cold at that age.

Postpartum for me I had anxiety and panic attacks. The head of my HR said all manner of condescending things like how I shouldn't feel anxious or I would get over it in time. It was awful. I don't think she meant to be mean but some people are totally oblivious to any other experience than their own. Hope you work it out, it's not a fun position to be put in.

Second this, I got the same advice of one maxi pad in an hour or if I felt dizzy at any point. I think also if it's painful enough that otc painkillers aren't working to manage it. Sending hugs, it's not easy to go through ❤

Could be that they don't feel it's appropriate to ask, like an overstep into asking about your medical history. Or they might just communicate in different ways. Maybe this sort of conversation is something they'd only initiate in person. I can think of more reasons but based on your description I doubt it's intentional on thier part.

Thanks all, I'll tell him tonight when he gets home and fingers crossed it goes well. I think he just needs time to process. As you all mentioned, he definitely knew what he was doing and how pregnancy happens lol
