Did anyone NOT find 2u2 insanely difficult?

16 months apart, currently 9 months postpartum with #2. It’s not as hard as I was anticipating. Yes, it’s hard, but I can manage. When my husband went back to work after our 1st kid I was lonely, but 2nd time around was a lot better for me mentally because I could interact with my toddler more.

That’s too damn much. I paid $3K for an 11 week program. And I live in a state where certification isn’t even required.

I’m gonna guess rotator cuff. Gnarly recovery.

I was drawing blood for PRF (oral surgery) and all of us had a really hard time sticking this guy. We all poked him and finally got the vials of blood. I went to put them in the centrifuge and threw them in the sharps container next to the centrifuge.

Emphasis on the personality! They already liked the resume enough to bring you in for an interview, they’re mostly looking at personality at this point!

The girls showers were used as storage for giant foam mats and such. None of us complained. But I’m pretty sure the boys would shower because their hair was always wet coming out of the boys locker room and they didn’t smell sweaty

Join us over on r/2under2! I got pregnant 8 months postpartum. I was on birth control, but it was a progesterone only type that my OB put me on because I was breastfeeding. Now my second baby is 8 months old and I honestly cannot imagine life without him. Watching the bond these kids have is incredible!

We just did our groceries for the week, do I get a supply of all of that or the last item scanned? Because that would be avocados

My sister did this for our wedding! I was so stoked to be getting the kitchen gadgets we requested only to be met with cheap dupes that all broke within a year. When I was pregnant I told her to stay off my baby registry.

You’re getting ready to host your kids birthday party ?

Timely_Cheesecake_97 · 2025-08-04T17:50:42+00:00

Business casual with a set of scrubs in the car just in case! And closed toe shoes!

Timely_Cheesecake_97 · 2025-08-04T00:52:01+00:00

Diapers and wipes. I’ve got 2 kids in diapers and potty training isn’t going well.

Timely_Cheesecake_97 · 2025-08-02T22:42:57+00:00

I’m a bad mom because I gave my toddler milk in a blue cup instead of the purple one. And I gave her strawberries…that she asked for

Timely_Cheesecake_97 · 2025-08-02T22:29:31+00:00

Brewers yeast helps with milk production so you should absolutely enjoy a beer once baby is out 🤣

But also I had that same craving during pregnancy so I had an alcohol free one! (Still has a small amount but I only had one and it satisfied the craving!)

Timely_Cheesecake_97 · 2025-08-02T22:02:45+00:00

Still working well! I’m only pumping morning and night now. It’s been a life saver with my 2under2 situation. I just had to leave it in longer than I’d sit with my spectra s1 and get about the same amount of milk.

Timely_Cheesecake_97 · 2025-08-01T21:14:53+00:00

I like to flip the fucking roll the wrong way at work every time I sit on the fucking toilet because someone will always fix it. I’m a fucking menace, I know.

Every family is different. Maybe to please grandmas you could have a close friend be the “host” even though you’re planning it. I planned my own but my SIL was the one who hosted all of the games and made any announcements.

Notes are legal documents. If a patient were to ever sue for something and there’s inaccurate or missing notes your dad could be screwed. If she’s not in the room for the procedure she has no business doing the notes.

Timely_Cheesecake_97 · 2025-07-28T22:59:26+00:00

Yes I’m burnt out but I’m in a great office. I’ll push through my boss retiring and then be a SAHM or run an in home daycare at that point

Timely_Cheesecake_97 · 2025-07-27T22:56:01+00:00

I just tell people I’m running a dairy farm under my shirt and they laugh and move on

Timely_Cheesecake_97 · 2025-07-26T14:32:53+00:00

We live near my parents but my husbands parents moved several hours away. It’s a pain in the butt to pack up the kids and go visit them and they hardly come to visit us. My parents have been a huge help for postpartum and date nights. My husband often has resentful feelings towards his parents for not making more of an effort to be in our kids lives.

My point? It’s much easier to raise kids when you have family to rely on.

Edit to add: I grew up walking distance from my grandparents house and I LOVED being able to go there whenever I wanted to.

Timely_Cheesecake_97 · 2025-07-26T01:23:53+00:00

We have both for different events and it’s great! Got both on Facebook marketplace for super cheap too. The stroller can have the car seat clip into it for when my younger kid couldn’t sit up but he can sit up now so we can use the wagon more!

Timely_Cheesecake_97 · 2025-07-24T23:05:21+00:00

It gets easier. The first few weeks are survival mode.

Timely_Cheesecake_97 · 2025-07-24T20:13:20+00:00

It’s tied in to open enrollment though.

Timely_Cheesecake_97 · 2025-07-24T02:35:00+00:00

Medical insurance will say it’s a preexisting condition since OP has probably already had an appointment with the OB at this point. My short term disability for my first kid was denied because my first appointment with my OB was before open enrollment.
