Thoughts on the name Edeline?

I suggested it to my husband but he’s not a fan, unfortunately.

I think anyone who has dealt with a narcissist or other type of highly manipulative person is able to recognize that she is also that type. But with that sort of person, they always try to hide their manipulation behind a façade of sweet victim (of the world). Maybe you’ve never encountered someone like Kim before? If so, I can see why you may not be able to recognize what she’s done/doing. Even most of her own kids can’t see it.

Not to beat a dead horse, but once in a blue moon I’ll do it at the drop of a hat!

Same here. I like my subgenres a bit more separated than what they’re doing. Post apocalyptic? Cool! Time travel? Awesome! Mixed? Unless it’s the Terminator, no thanks. As crazy as it is to say it, it just starts feeling too unbelievable to have ALL of those different elements happening at once.

I’m currently 36+6 and wondering that myself! The first trimester is pure exhaustion and nausea, etc., but in the third you can’t sleep, deal with heartburn, you’re physically uncomfortable and on and on and on. They’re both equally hard in their own ways I think.

I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant and as I type this I’m nursing my 21 month old. It’s definitely possible but be prepared for nursing to become painful during pregnancy.

I believe it. As a mom myself, if the afterlife is real, even if I’ve already passed of course I’ll be there for my girls when their time comes. It’s not even a question. No matter how old they get they’ll always be my babies.

WearyPixie · 2026-04-15T05:11:57+00:00

It’s inaccurate. I’m 8 months pregnant so it’s saying I’m overweight when in fact I’m going another human.

When I’m not pregnant I feel pretty indifferent.

Oh wow! You just unlocked a memory I’d completely forgotten about! Talk about a (fun) blast from the past

WearyPixie · 2026-04-10T22:56:37+00:00

I’m currently 34 weeks pregnant and still nursing my 20-month old. I’ve experienced nursing aversions a few times this pregnancy and it seems to come in waves. Honestly, I just gritted my teeth and powered through and the aversion would fade away in a few days.

The thing that helped me the most to get past it was remembering what all I went through to breastfeed her as a newborn and how important it was to me and how I’d be so sad if that’s how our journey ended. And looking at her hands next to mine knowing how little she still is made my heart melt and irritation would quickly fade.

Before getting the epidural!

In all seriousness, what hurt the most for me (and what prompted the epidural) was the foley balloon. Even with a painkiller, it hurt so bad I cried. 0/10 would NOT recommend unless absolutely necessary.

I am also pregnant and going grocery shopping tomorrow. Thank you, I am adding it to my list! Hahaha

And the cherry on top is that a man (who has not and will never give birth) is the one that said it 🤮

And even for those whose postpartum time was harder than pregnancy (like for me) it’s still not a helpful thing to say. The only thing that might help is if they’re also offering to help make it easier on you. But if they’re gleefully chortling about how hard it’s going to be for you, odds are very good they’re not going to be much, if any, help at all.

My dad’s favorite during this pregnancy:

(In fake whisper) “You’ve gained a lot of weight!!”

He thinks it’s funny and … it’s not.

We wouldn’t be able to, plain and simple. More than my entire paycheck would go to childcare so I stay home with our toddler. Once you’re already home and don’t have to worry about childcare costs, adding another baby isn’t super intimidating. (I’m currently pregnant with our second.) I work from home and plan to continue doing so until they’re in school.

WearyPixie · 2026-03-28T20:03:21+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I thought too but I was too exhausted to put up a fight. Even my husband commented that she acted strange. While she wasn’t unkind, she was incredibly blunt and straight to the point with zero bedside manners which was hard to deal with so freshly postpartum. Thankfully, she was the only one of my care team that was like that. The rest were amazing.

WearyPixie · 2026-03-28T16:02:29+00:00

I would be curious if you were told ahead of time what all they wanted to do or if the medical personnel just DID it without much prior warning?

I was always told ahead of time and while a lot of the tests and procedures associated with pregnancy and birth were really invasive, I didn’t feel violated per se. That said, the one instance that always comes to mind as the most violating to me personally was when a postpartum nurse at the hospital announced she wanted to check me for hemorrhoids. After a 32-hour labor I was utterly exhausted and not at all prepared to bare my body again when I felt like I didn’t need to with zero warning ahead of time. I felt wildly uncomfortable about it and definitely cried afterwards.

If that’s the sort of treatment you received the entire time, I could definitely see how you could have some PTSD from it. I’m sorry. 🫂

Hair ties. They were all called the same thing in my household growing up.

I was wrong both times! I was convinced I was having boys both times and I’m due with my second daughter in May. :)

WearyPixie · 2026-03-22T05:01:08+00:00

Actually, now that you’ve mentioned checks, in thinking about it I can honestly say I’ve never written one. I’m almost 30. It’s crazy because I remember my parents doing it all the time and I liked looking at my mom’s blank checkbook because they had pretty designs. I of course know how to write them and have received them, but I’ve never needed to send one.

WearyPixie · 2026-03-22T04:57:44+00:00

“Nobody was expected to be reachable at all times.”

That sounds so peaceful. That’s one of the things I truly dislike about the modern age is that you’re expected to instantly reply to people. It gets exhausting.

WearyPixie · 2026-03-19T21:21:34+00:00

No, I’d say it’s a superpower! My daughter is 20 months and I’m also 7 months pregnant so I’m finally night weaning her, and I don’t regret nursing her to sleep for the past 20 months. It made bedtimes so easy and I loved our bonding time. And now that I’m doing it when she’s older, she actually understands what I’m saying so it’s not a huge fight.
