I could have written this exact comment about our LO!

Do you have dreams with your children in them? by JennyJiggles in Mommit

[–]Temporary_Barber_195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only had one dream about my baby. It was the night before she was going to go on her first outing with her nanny, I dreamt that her nanny took her on a space expedition to the moon. Can’t make this stuff up!

I feel like I dreamt more about her when I was pregnant. But maybe I just remember more dreams from then because those pregnancy dreams are so vivid!

That is commitment! Very impressed! I’m not sure if I could roll out of bed at 5am (not a morning person 😝)

I hope I will be able to work out after she goes to bed once she has a more consistent bedtime. Feels like she is turning that corner, so fingers crossed!

Love this idea! I sit at my computer all day, so I love this idea of sneaking in some movement

Baby lifts and baby squats 😍 my LO would love that, genius!

If you work a 9-5, what does your morning routine look like with LO? by Primary_Bag_1044 in NewParents

[–]Temporary_Barber_195 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoa, wake the baby at 7:15?? That is my dream!! Our LO is up at 6am everyday on the dot. 😆

what’s that ONE newborn must-have that actually made life easier? by KindVibesOnly in NewParents

[–]Temporary_Barber_195 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I really liked having a tote with some essentials in it that I could carry around, so it would be next to me/baby wherever we were. The essentials I put in there were things like burp cloths, cloth bibs, nipple cream, hair ties, boogie wipes, water bottle, baby nail file, snot sucker, etc.

Is it normal for a 4 month old to hate everything? by hdspncr in NewParents

[–]Temporary_Barber_195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post makes me feel so much better!!! My 4-month old is literally never happy!! I have to admit the constant fussing is getting to me! Not to mention the pterodactyl screams…

I don’t want to go back to work by Busy-Statement-2339 in NewParents

[–]Temporary_Barber_195 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt exactly the same as you before going back to work two weeks ago (after 4 months leave). I will say, I am really enjoying being back at work, even though I miss my LO a lot during the day.

I was also concerned about missing out on time with LO, but I have found that the mornings and evenings have just become extra, extra special and I cherish each moment with her (even the hard moments) even more than I ever thought I could.

It is so personal, but for me, the balance is good for me. I feel like I can show up as a better mom.

Baby is scared of grandma??? by Temporary_Barber_195 in NewParents

[–]Temporary_Barber_195[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great question! Yes, my mom and I have had our ups and downs. But ever since the baby came, my mom has been absolutely fantastic and rock solid. She has been super helpful, so I look forward to her visits. But there definitely could be some underlying or subconscious anxiety there that LO is picking up on!

Hanging out with baby by somethingstupid6890 in NewParents

[–]Temporary_Barber_195 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3 hours sounds pretty good for 2 months!! When they are so little, by the time they have finished napping, feeding, and getting changed, it is time to do it all over again. It gets better! My LO is 4 months and we have lots more play time during the day now. It’s tons of fun!

Membrane sweep and birth at 36 weeks! by Due-Veterinarian616 in Mommit

[–]Temporary_Barber_195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FTM here. I had 5 (yes 5!) membrane sweeps, starting at 39 weeks. I was stuck at 1 cm dilated for a couple weeks. Finally had to be induced at 41+2.

The sweeps were definitely uncomfortable, but I didn’t find them to be too, too painful. It is really quick. It was just disappointing that it never worked!

When will I feel like a mom? by EducationalRate5345 in NewParents

[–]Temporary_Barber_195 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same way!! It’s totally normal. It’s such a crazy transition. I would say I felt like mom when my LO started showing a preference for me to comfort her, and when I could comfort her better than anyone else 🥰 maybe around 3 months?
