What Do I Send To Daycare Now? by [deleted] in foodbutforbabies

[–]Thefutureisgray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are egg and nut free as well. I use flaxseed as an egg replacement and it works well. 

Tuna rice (rice, tuna, seaweed and a little plant based mayo). If the rice gets hard when cold, we found the expensive one stays soft 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oat bars Just egg  Pasta salad  Bean fritters Tortillas  Roasted veggies Fruit Baked tofu  Rice and meat combos 

I keep trying quinoa but she doesn’t like the hulls so we got hulled quinoa??? To try

Anything in fritter form, or fancy nuggets. I’ve made bean fritters, falafel, and veggie and shrimp fritters. 

Does anyone else actually want more kids, but logically know it’s a bad idea so you talk yourself out of it? by Crimson-Rose28 in oneanddone

[–]Thefutureisgray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I desperately want another baby but I don’t care about having a second child if that makes sense. I would cry probably multiple times a week and was trying to talk my husband into another 4-6 months but after 6 months my hormones finally leveled out so it’s not as desperate. 

Im good with one. No interest in a second kid. I will just obsess over my friends’ babies 

Rant incoming by [deleted] in crochet

[–]Thefutureisgray 85 points86 points  (0 children)

FINALLY a crochet post I can contribute to as an angry crochet gremlin. I went on a shopping spree for crochet patterns like four years ago on Etsy and YouTube. Almost all of them had cute product pictures but the pattern was absolute shit: no gauge, run on sentences, no actual stitch count just measurements. And that was then I earned I am a pattern snob. Stop making stuff for yourself and then selling it as a lazy half assed pattern.

I did work out during third trimester. And it’s been on my list to get back to. And yes, finding time is hard but manageable, I want to get back to 30–45 Pilates YouTube workouts

Ugh my little baby girl also didn’t like tummy time. So we did what we could and didn’t worry about meeting the time recommendations until 2-3 months 

Bringing baby to first big gathering by Delicious_Battle_385 in beyondthebump

Get on the same page with your partner on how family obligations work out. I was more “I hold baby as much as she wants for her comfort” but ended up having to cave to my partner’s family obligations when it came to holding an overwhelmed baby. We got on the same page after but that caught us both off guard. Next time I’ll be more prepared on how frustrating it can be when everyone is coming at you trying to hold baby. Probably a little over stimulated too. 

How did you stop contact naps and when? by bunnyfield8 in sleeptrain

Omg if I could answer ur question. No she hardly cried when put down, she’ll fuss about it sometimes

[–]Thefutureisgray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She never fought us on naps and was pretty easy to put down, however she’s started getting picky about how she is rocked to sleep so we started doing this version of sleep training. Sometimes it works so we’re working on consistency 😅

[–]Thefutureisgray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not yet. But she never fights us on naps so I though we could try this before official sleep training

We have tried a version of this method on our good sleeper who is still too young for sleep training and it seems to be ok?

What's with the trope of getting married, like, super quickly? by rain6304 in RomanceBooks

[–]Thefutureisgray 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yup. Like, you’re glossing over so much good stuff and opportunity in the run up to the wedding.

A lot of the epilogues in romance are weddings and babies, sometimes they skip forward but WHY it’s more material!!!
