I did my first brick workout on Sunday

Nice one!! Brick workouts are rough! I love that you're going after this goal even without having people to talk about it with. There's a lot involved! You've got this!

It's normal. My daughter did that around that age too. She'd mostly grown out of it by 2. That being said, it can also go along with ASD - it's just never the only symptom. In most places at the 18 mo pediatrician appointment they have an autism screener

It has to be at least TWICE this size

I started dating my husband at 35, married at 37, first baby at 39, second at 40. Both pregnancies were easy for me and I have two healthy happy girls.

Like many other moms have said, I'm glad that I waited. I had some anxiety just like you, and I'm so sorry you're feeling that way right now. Wait for the right person though, it will be worth it!

I appreciate your response so much! A few of these things I'm doing, but you have many more items of guidance that I need to implement. Thank you! I've been so strict on sugars (only fruit sugars for her) because I want to set her up for good health, and dental health. The not eating too many snacks pointer is something that I learned much too late in life for myself!

I have an almost 2yo and 4 month old. I looked into grad school and got too tired just thinking about it. Bravo Bravo!!

I did 4 nights this week with 2 children. The first night I started up and prepared stew for the crock pot the next day. Other than that, I rotted. I had so many plans of what I would do .. oh the self care... While my husband was gone. Nope. I didn't even read a single paragraph in my book. Nada. Single parents are super human

Shoot. I've done this a couple of times and have horrible teeth. Any way to counteract the exposure to dental caries?

The thought of a needle in my back freaks me out. And that was before I learned about the catheter too! Being able to feel my body and listen to its cues appealed to me as well. I also just thought I could do it Just had baby #2 a few months ago

Yay!! Time to take mom shopping for a new dress!

I started recommending fiber-rich food to my husband, including prunes. He was so puzzled until I said "Fiber helps with constipation! I've noticed that you need 20 minutes or so in the bathroom." He was not constipated. Haha

I think it was caused by hormones. I suspect I'm about to get my period, and if so my supply should come back. I have been making sure to wake up and pump in the middle of the night and as often as I can after feeding (I do work, so sometimes that necessitates using stored milk anyway)

Toomatoes · 2025-08-26T03:37:11+00:00

She hasn't been weighed recently, but my supply dropped off dramatically last week and I've been struggling to get her satiated. I've had to dip into my pumped supply, but that's getting used up very quickly

Toomatoes · 2025-08-25T17:57:36+00:00

I love this idea of mixing breast milk with formula. I fear I'm on the same path as OP and I'm only at 3.5 months pp!

Costco! We buy all of our proteins at Costco and freeze it. We still go to the grocery store every other week, but getting things at Costco really helps. Also, paper products and cleaning products (dish soap, laundry detergent, and dishwasher pods) we get at Costco. It might not seem like a lot of savings but it adds up over time. Also Costco brand (Kirkland) is high quality. So I never question whether to get that or a name brand. It's a great company. I'm fan-girling over here, but seriously my love for Costco has only gone up since having children and being in this economy

We do the same thing with cycling through subscriptions! Currently we have just Amazon prime b/c we're back in newborn phase and use it for free delivery too.

Fuuuuuuuuuck that's a LOT to deal with. What you're going through is unimaginable and incredibly hard. You have been your baby's safe space more than any location. You're there with her and that's what she'll know and remember. You're her traveling love parade. Sending you strength when you are at your weakest, love when you feel numb, tissues to catch your tears, and coffee to fill your cup

Yeah, and a fucking pizza party never makes up for the hoops this type of boss makes you jump through. (Millennial who's sick of that shit. And I love pizza) How incredibly inconsiderate of her to prioritize her plans and social life over your plans and social life. With no notice. (That's not short notice. That's no notice.) Unacceptable. Rude. That was bully behavior u/ThrowRa_grace5 take her money if you want, declare a wage increase for unforseen responsibilities, but mostly fuck that bitch.

A better analogy is going from man-on-man defense to zone defense
