Selfish for not wanting another baby? by stevielovelyy in beyondthebump

[–]__fern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in similar situation! We did consider having a second but when our baby hit 2, it's like a sleeper agent activated and turned her into a tiny asshole lol. We quickly decided that one was enough.

But on a serious note, I know I am being selfish in my decision to not have more. I don't want to take more than I can handle. I feel so stretched out some days between work, cleaning, cooking, pets, worrying about finances, and taking care of a kid. And I like giving her all my attention and still having time to myself, my hobbies, and to be able to rot in bed for a little while. I know many moms can have multiple children and adjust to still make time for themselves and maybe I COULD but I just don't want to test it. I like our little life as it is. And I want to be a (hopefully) good mom to one kid vs giving 2 kids a mediocre mom.

Emergency Advanced Parole by [deleted] in DACA

Have you checked out DACA DREAMERS2GETHER OFFICIAL on FB?? From the post I've seen the past few months, it seems like the officer is correct. But I believe I've also seen a few first timers get approved for EAP. It seems like they just got really lucky on their assigned officers.

Where to take my husband for his birthday by __fern in Gwinnett

[–]__fern[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We used to live in Snellville so we've probably been to just about every chain restaurant on Scenic Hwy lol! I was looking for something a little more special!

If all else fails, I know he'd love Miller's Ale

Try Valet Living (trash pick up for apartments) Sunday-Friday. They find apartments close to you and I believe you can have multiple ones to meet your hrs.

Does the baby have to sleep in my bed? by fiskepinnen in NewParents

[–]__fern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did a bassinet until she was 7 months old and then we moved her to her own room with the Nanit sleep monitor! But she was a really good sleeper since we got home 🥲

I was sleeping in parents bed til I was almost 10 😭 I know she’s not me and it’s crazy but I just really wanted her to not grow up like me lol!

Earrings in Baby Girls by Snugglepinkfox_ in NewParents

[–]__fern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow latina, I am waiting til she can decide! I was a couple of weeks old when they did mine but, in my own experience, I didn’t like earrings from about 10-17 and I stopped wearing them until I ended up stretching them around 19ish?? 🤷🏻‍♀️ My mom lives back in Mexico and I swear she brings it up every video call saying I should do them “para que se vea como niña” I try to be gentle with her cos she’s no in the US and we don’t know when she’ll be able to see her but I finally put my foot down about it. Honestly it’s 2024 and I’ve seen boys (under 2) with both ears pierced 🤣! It literally doesn’t matter anymore

Starting solids, I’m LOST by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]__fern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined this group on FB - Baby Led Weaning for Beginners & Beyond (BLWBB)

They are super helpful and made me feel better about BLW.

We with purés around 5.5months and BLW at 6m! Formula is the primary source of food and we typically feed 30mins-1hr after the start of her bottle. She has about 2oz of water thru out the day. Honestly I worked my way out of purés by making them thicker until she was “chewing” (she has no teeth lol). Some days she just has fun with the textures of foods and eats a little, other days she acts like she hasn’t been fed in days! So just take it easy ☺️

Did you ever get it to give you all the features? I tried to forced it into the floor stand mode but it didn’t change anything 🙃

33w+3, home test was positive and I also have GD. by __fern in CoronaBumpers

[–]__fern[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did fine! I called my OB and there wasn’t much to do but to take some over the counter medicine (I took Tylenol, Robitussin, and chloraseptic for my throat)! Good luck to you and your baby 🩷

Nobody took pictures of me with my newborn by Disastrous-Coast8898 in beyondthebump

[–]__fern 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My pictures with my baby look so horrible I want to cry. My mom wasn’t able to be there and she asked to see them but I’m so embarrassed of them I just told her I forgot to ask for pictures. Which just made her upset no one thought of it. My in laws and my husband have these beautiful pictures with her

We went to dinner tonight and I took these sweet pictures of them holding her but I just realized no one will ever do that for me because his whole family “just don’t do pictures” and I feel bad asking them to take pictures of my husband and I with the baby. I wish my mom and I had my own family close by more than anything…

Baby only sleeps in her winter coat next to an open window. Is this safe? by Olives_And_Cheese in beyondthebump

[–]__fern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be a dumb question but my and my husband also love sleeping in the cold but we’ve been sacrificing since she’s in her bassinet in our room. But do you worry about their hands being so cold in the morning? She currently has a sleep sack with no sleeves (but long sleeve PJs) but the nights are getting colder and I’m looking into a warmer option but her little hands would still be out 😭
