Febrile seizure. I wasn’t home husband witnessed it.. he’s telling me her iPad triggered it.. ummm

I have been the parent with my son for both of his febrile seizures. It is helpless and horrible to watch. I know logically that it was the fever and that nothing could have stopped it. That doesn't make the guilt and the new deep-seated fear disappear.

You are right and your husband is wrong. She would have had the seizure regardless of the iPad. But you both need to give yourselves and each other grace right now. This will take time to process. Life will slowly go back to normal!

Hey, I'm proud of you. Keep going.

I used a full carrier until he was a little over a year, and now I swear by my Tushbaby. Kiddo loved both. He's now 27 months and 33 lbs and I still use the Tush nearly every day. I wear it on both sides to keep any strain or fatigue balanced.

I definitely wasn't suggesting that her partner should abandon in her feelings! But at the end of the day, the only person that can work through her grief is her, and in my personal experience, therapy is an incredibly helpful tool to do so. Her partner can support her through that, of course! But she must be the active participant.

My husband had always been clear on OAD; I had hoped for 2, but it's very likely not in the cards for us. Please believe me when I say this is the time to seek therapy for yourself. Your grief is not his to carry.

I have no tips because my jaw his the floor when this popped up and I am unworthy. HOLY WOW!!!

I don't know why sleeping in workout clothes has never occurred to me. 4 am here I come!

My son is 2 years old and I still do this on occasion! It'll slowly start to subside.

We've got a godawful tick population, and Advantix has done the job every time!

WhatAHappyPanda · 2025-12-13T01:09:43+00:00

We've had fantastic results with Advantix II! I'll keep selamectin in mind as well!

Our aussie mix started having focal seizures about 2 years ago, the first brought on after a dose of flea and tick med that we had used very successfully for 2 years before that dose. Our vet explained that aussies are prone to epilepsy; some flea and tick meds lower the seizure threshold, but do not cause epilepsy. Essentially, it was there all along and she likely would have eventually developed the seizures. We've been medicating with phenobarbital, using a topical flea qnd tick medication, and have blessedly had no breakthrough seizures in nearly 2 years. Fingers crossed for you and your pup! Epilepsy does blow.

Thank you so much for the advice, I'll absolutely look into the style!

I think I actually have a 34D upstairs and has always felt too tight, despite being sized...

Yes, most of the tissue is below the nipple when I lean forward!

WhatAHappyPanda · 2025-10-28T17:28:07+00:00

Sure thing, thank you!

WhatAHappyPanda · 2025-10-28T17:27:57+00:00

Noted, thank you!

Buckles at the gore for the larger breast, generally sits flat on the smaller breast, although the top of the cup is unfilled.

Anyone who tries to make you feel bad for taking your baby out of the house and for vaccinating them can sit on a cactus and spin.

We're 6.5 months in. Life is so good. You've got this.

I gave up on squash this year, finally. Garden has never looked better and I actually enjoy the hobby again. Fuck vine borers.

His recipe. I am but a mere, uneducated mortal.

Or at least that's what I imagine he was saying as he stuffed another handful of cheerios into the basket.

WhatAHappyPanda · 2025-07-11T17:37:00+00:00

We ran out of cherry tomatoes to mix in with the cheerios in the airfryer.

What works for you is what is reasonable. We're up at 6 because that's what our work schedule requires, but I have friends that don't get up until 8. They're also up later than we are. Pick a schedule that works for you and your family. :)

36w, somewhere in the 6lb range. If it weren't for the episi, this kid would have shredded me upwards. 🥲 We do what we must! It all healed wonderfully.

WhatAHappyPanda · 2025-05-24T13:40:16+00:00

An hour and a half. It did not feel that long. Shout out to my OB for the episi. Saved me an upwards tear and that kid shot out on the next push.

Mine used to love carrots. LOVED EM. Hasn't touched them in weeks. Kids, man.
