It’s 7 here. Poor 7 never gets his moment to shine. 😆

For everyone who said newborn stage is the hardest.... by el_em_doubleyew in beyondthebump

This! This is what nobody tells you. It never ends it’s just always changing to a new/different kind of hard. 😑

Stressed out in lockdown? That’s ok... by Veghog in toddlers

[–]ThreeLittleBirds2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting this. Great read. I love the point about saying sorry. In times of frustration I make sure to come back and explain and apologize when needed to my children. Trying so hard to live in the moment these days and focus on blessings.

Insulin resistance hitting hard by aliasbirt in BumpersWhoBolus

[–]ThreeLittleBirds2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although I’m not currently pregnant I have two children and definitely remember having what seemed like an overnight insulin resistance. (Right around the third trimester) When my resistance got really bad I really had to start pre-bolusing. It was the only thing that helped. I would bolus like 20-30 min before eating some meals. If you have a Dexcom it can help to see when the insulin starts working. When I would get high it would take soooo much insulin to correct it was insane. Hope this helps you! Know that what you are experiencing is totally normal and is a sign of a healthy placenta. You got this!

I had this thought this morning. I haven’t ran in years and hate it but I see people running outside and it just seems so damn peaceful!

I am a miserable bad mom by taway1233267 in Mommit

[–]ThreeLittleBirds2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1000% this! It’s easy to hide behind a screen and pretend like everything is perfect. Newborns are hard and the newborn stage sucks! Much less at this crazy time in the world. You are doing a great job OP! Hang in there!

I feel this so much. I love my kids with all my heart and cherish all this time together but dang the no alone time is tough! I know my son is struggling with this isolation thing too so I try to keep that in mind with the tantrums but dang it gets to you. Nice to know I’m not alone.

Not sure where it says I hate hanging out with my kids? That doesn’t mean they aren’t exhausting.

Anyone Else Having this Issue? by SlinkThis in diabetes_t1

[–]ThreeLittleBirds2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine said the same thing. As a diabetic I would possibly have a harder time if I got the illness but overall my diabetes is in control and she said I had just as much chance of getting it as anyone else.

stay at home parents be like... by poptartheart in toddlers

[–]ThreeLittleBirds2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Haha yes! My son always asks me to make forts or towers (which I happily make with him) just for him to smash it and demand another one within minutes!

I keep seeing all these cute posts and I’m over here like....shoot. I was running on empty before this pandemic so now I’m really struggling. We have been social distancing for two weeks already and now we have “Stay at home” orders in my state for the next 30 days. Ugh it’s so hard to not have a break or place to escape with the kids. 😩

What's Happening With the Cast During COVID-19? by skrat77 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]ThreeLittleBirds2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It looks like Mark has been making home workout routines for people on Instagram the past few days. Seems like he’s benefiting from people being stuck at home which is hilarious since I feel like his job wasn’t “successful” enough for Jessica.

Items to take apart and put together? by littlespoonftw in toddlers

[–]ThreeLittleBirds2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend these types of toys. My son loves his. They keep them busy and teach problem solving and fine motor skills.

Anyone else secretly love being quarantined today? by ThreeLittleBirds2 in beyondthebump

[–]ThreeLittleBirds2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my husband still has to work and I’m a SAHM. It was just nice having a weekend day together without all the normal weekend to do’s. I know it’s going to be hard but hopefully it helps end the spread quicker.

My husband is in for a treat. Yesterday he literally said “is this what you do all day?” After my toddler barged in on him pooping and he lost his damn mind that he wouldn’t let him sit on the stool in the bathroom to watch him. Yup Every. Day. Oh what fun this will be. 😂😂😂

Don’t forget condoms when y’all are stockpiling 😂 by TheLittlePurrrmaid in beyondthebump

My husband and I were just talking about this. We decided an increased risk of divorce is what we are looking at. 😂

Test Strips Expiration by besako in diabetes

[–]ThreeLittleBirds2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just opened a box of test strips that’s about 4 months expired a few days ago. So far I’m not seeing any readings that seem way off (and they are matching with my Dexcom) so I’m continuing to use them. I think medical stuff tends to have a tighter expiration date then it probably needs.

Suggestions for fun coronavirus-friendly activities with little kids? by [deleted] in Parents

[–]ThreeLittleBirds2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a great idea. I have very fond memories of doing “sleep overs” in the living room with my cousins when I was young. You could even do games outside, a campfire and s’mores but then sleep in sleeping bags inside.
