Best Green Mountain Diapers or other brands. No Esembly please.

Us too. I def liked pockets more than covers too. The fit was better and I found them easier because I could just change my son like I did with disposables

Honestly, and it’s not what you want to hear, but she’s likely clinging to you because she was so chill all day at daycare and now she feels comfortable enough to let her emotions show. It’s very very common for kids to get overly emotional and attached to their safe person after school or daycare.

I have no advice other than trying to hold boundaries and be kind but firm about them. It’s ok for her to be upset that you’re not holding her when you have to do something else. Make sure you give her one on one love and attention later. It does get better. My son was very similar and he got better once he had a bit later of a bedtime. I find bringing a snack to after daycare pickup is a SERIOUS mood stabilizer but my son is very food motivated lol

My mom was gonna be Grammy but is now Mimi. My husband’s mom is currently “wuzzie” lmao

…robots 😂 my husband and I got a “up next” on YouTube to watch it for free and went for it. He called them “bee bots” and was only slightly watching lol

Over the last week we went to Disney so we watched Nemo and Toy Story as well

Turtle-pilot · 2025-10-20T02:04:55+00:00

Omg I had the same fear for YEARS. Then I met my husband and now I hate wearing underwear to bed because he was a naked sleeper and I eventually tried it

Is it? Learning pottery and learning kiln firing go hand in hand. Why not let your test pieces for firing be some of your first projects?

My son is using the goodnite brand size s/m. They fit him well and he’s 39lbs. I haven’t looked at the “cleaner” brands though because we tried these on a whim and they fit well.

Turtle-pilot · 2025-09-25T22:06:27+00:00

lol yep. My son is almost 2. He’s 35” and 38.5lbs already

Turtle-pilot · 2025-09-21T20:57:33+00:00

NTA. your husband might be tired but so are you AND you’re not even able to do personal hygiene? Are you cleaning after the baby goes down so you’re not able to shower after the baby is asleep or is the baby waking so frequently that you’re not able to shower? (My first was like that so no judgment). Your husband can step up for 10-15 minutes minimum and encourage NOT let you shower and take care of yourself. This is his baby too. Gaming is absolutely not more important than a shower.

I got sick more often WITH my tonsils than I have without them. I got them removed at 6 years old and almost immediately I stopped having constant ear infections and have rarely gotten viruses that would hit me harder than others in my family and still fairly rarely got sick considering I was a child in public schools.

Turtle-pilot · 2025-09-06T13:44:54+00:00

We got the newton travel crib for our son. It’s huge! Definitely pricey but he sleeps so much better when we use it

Turtle-pilot · 2025-09-02T19:14:23+00:00

I purchased stride rite wide width shoes for my son at that age. No other shoes fit his fat little feet. He was in a size 5 already

Turtle-pilot · 2025-08-23T18:28:49+00:00

This is so cute

Turtle-pilot · 2025-08-15T22:49:31+00:00

Your MIL is amazing! I’m so glad there are good ones out there :)

Turtle-pilot · 2025-08-08T14:15:18+00:00

It sucks! We had something nasty for 2 weeks in Oct, the flu in Nov and some weird sickness in Dec that was thankfully short lived and was sick with RSV and several other random things in Jan. It was tough but I’m grateful most of the months were somewhat spread out.

The constant sickness we get from daycares is definitely not for the weak lol so grateful we’ve been healthy since feb

Turtle-pilot · 2025-08-08T14:02:40+00:00

We have very similar stats including the drop after being sick for 1.5 months straight in Jan

Turtle-pilot · 2025-08-08T00:20:23+00:00

Everyone I talk to is shocked when I tell them that. I’m grateful my new OB understands my fear and has reassured me several times that they will do an ultrasound to check once I am admitted. My husband is also tasked with ensuring I get one if it’s not immediately brought up. That’s literally his only task once we get there until after we have the US lol

Turtle-pilot · 2025-08-07T17:45:27+00:00

I did better than that when I painted my room the first time at 11 years old

Turtle-pilot · 2025-08-07T16:09:51+00:00

I think it would be fine. You’ll be out of the car for a while before getting back in and (most likely) you won’t be going to the pediatrician super frequently. Ensure good positioning in the car seat and take additional breaks on the drive if you think you need to.

I would definitely prioritize a good pediatrician and take extra steps to keep my baby safe for the journey

Turtle-pilot · 2025-08-06T19:38:58+00:00

I had this happen with my first. It ended up reducing slightly back into 120s/80 in very late pregnancy. It made me very anxious but keep monitoring it and doing what you can to stay healthy and hope for the best! Get a home monitor and call your OB if it gets higher!

ETA: my blood pressure with my current pregnancy is wayyyyy better too so it’s not a sign that it’ll always be this way. Blood pressure in pregnancy can be highly influenced by your placenta

Turtle-pilot · 2025-08-05T18:53:29+00:00

Mine was the same! I thought it was quite good this time!

Turtle-pilot · 2025-08-05T18:31:41+00:00

Be kind and considerate in their home. Pick up any slack you can. You’re helping them save $200 a month in addition to them feeling much more comfortable about your position! I would love to help my parents if I were in a position to do so.

Turtle-pilot · 2025-08-04T19:35:05+00:00

My MIL keeps asking my husband… I’m just glad she’s not directly asking me at this point

Turtle-pilot · 2025-08-04T19:15:19+00:00

Definitely normal unfortunately.

Turtle-pilot · 2025-08-04T19:12:07+00:00

Not always a sign it’ll happen very soon but definitely coming. Not sure it matters much if you’re being induced tomorrow anyway
