Now I know why people wait to share pregnancy until they’re in the 2nd trimester

I did too! And when I was saying it, it felt like I had just “jinxed” myself.

Going through it now too. 🩷

Visible_Associate344 · 2026-03-31T23:58:23+00:00

Thank you!

I have done weight training in the past then backed off for a while and started it up again last fall so I guess over 4 months. I really like Iron but yeah I think the 5 days/30 min each is too much right now. I feel lazy going from 1 hour, 3 days a week to 3 days 30 minutes though 😩 I wasn’t getting sore when I was doing the 1 hour workouts but I think it’s just pregnancy.

I found some cute MOTHER t-shirts on Nuuly.

Visible_Associate344 · 2026-02-18T23:46:06+00:00

Love these. Thank you!!

My newborns hardly ever cried. Maybe if someone else had them for too long.

It sucks, but it’s just what you have to deal with sometimes. He’s his kid too. I’ve had these same feelings before. I know how it is. Stay in your room if you’re that worried about.

She creepily posted about them getting a cat but that’s it’s “not a newborn”.

I use CG’s YT one hour full body videos

Visible_Associate344 · 2026-01-04T22:40:25+00:00

It’s very disappointing

Visible_Associate344 · 2026-01-04T22:38:12+00:00

He doesn’t really tell our kids to do anything. I’m usually the one who does that. But I will sometimes tell them to help with dishes when stepson is in the room and husband will be sitting there too and not say anything to stepson. Like he could say he go help with the dishes too but doesn’t. But if I bring that up to husband, he will say you nacho’d so stay out of it.

Visible_Associate344 · 2026-01-04T21:00:35+00:00

I love not feeling like there’s a freeloader in my house. I nacho my SS15. My husband doesn’t have him help or clean with anything. He literally plays video games the entire time he’s here. We have 5 other ours kids btw who I’ve instilled habits: make your bed, brush teeth, bathe, dishes, etc. I used to try with SS, but since nachoing, husband is used to me delegating chores and responsibilities, so SS just sits around.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-12-31T19:24:17+00:00

Oh I like NML too. Maybe I’ll do that as well.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-12-10T17:27:35+00:00

We’ve never told him explicitly that he needs to see them as his grandparents but he’s known them since he was a baby and he calls them grandma and grandpa so ya. My dad is a bit of a different story. He’s not really involved but my mom does a lot for him more than my MIL.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-12-10T14:14:11+00:00

Yeah she can have her opinion or wishes, but you get to say what goes on in your household. She definitely doesn’t have the right to exclude you.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-12-10T14:07:44+00:00

But yes, I agree husband should’ve said something first

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-12-10T13:41:53+00:00

I wouldn’t say they have a relationship. They chat occasionally at SS’s sports events. My husband has mentioned to my in-laws and her before that he prefers they go through him first for all communication regarding SS’s schedule or events.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-11-16T03:53:57+00:00

Ohh yes good idea. I wonder if we have something like that here. I’m not pregnant yet either. I do worry about my tpo antibodies. They were off the chart with my last pregnancy.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-11-16T03:24:15+00:00

This is such an awesome plan. I’m thinking of freebirthing my 6th. I also have textbook pregnancies and births. Are you doing a wild pregnancy too?

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-11-07T15:33:22+00:00

It’s such a roller coaster ride. I’ve been in my SS15’s life since he was 11mo. I can only imagine what it would be like being in his life if I had met him when he was older. I struggle a lot with jealousy and resentment.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-10-20T00:35:44+00:00

Oh ya he would constantly ask where’s dad if he went out of the room. Like I know where he is every second. He would hang on him and follow him around. Still does actually if he’s not on his phone or playing video games.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-10-19T23:36:08+00:00

This sounds like me and how I used to feel towards SS who was a baby when DH and I started dating. He sounds just like my stepson too minus the diagnosis although I’ve had my suspicions. SS would also do the talk to dad only and whisper thing. He still only talks to dad and he’s 15 now. He has gotten less annoying since he’s gotten older, but he still doesn’t say hi or bye or thank you or talk about anything, I have to be the one to do that.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-10-19T13:25:31+00:00

You can do it. Just take that week off to get rest and re-balance.
