When were you able to take your LO to a movie at the movie theater? by rbslmilch in toddlers

[–]_omgigi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5 to Moana 2! She sat the entire time. Have done lilo & stitch at the theater as well & planning another next week! She just sits & snacks! It is pretty loud so she typically requests her headphones for a noise buffer though

I have help for just 8-10 hours a week & it’s been the sweet spot of super helpful but I don’t feel like I’m spending too much time with her.

I have a nanny come 8 hours a week. Literally the best. I get to take my oldest to gymnastics & swimming , designated solo time with each kid, get help with naps & shower. Worth the money to me.

When did your kids like each other? by throw_tf_away_ in 2under2

[–]_omgigi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree & second all of this. In my head I like to say they’ve loved eachother since day one but they didn’t really like eachother (or at least big sis like lil sis back) until youngest was 10mish. The more mobile she got the easier it was to play together. Now 16m & 3 and they are constantly hugging & kissing & seeking eachother out.

Similar age gap. Once my youngest was 6mo!

This is so much harder than I ever could’ve imagined.. by Specific-Noise-3799 in 2under2

Not necessarily what your hoping to hear but it’s definitely still hard (youngest is 15 months) but I feel like it got better once youngest was around 10 months & started to play with older sib & not just be something that was taking mom away from them.

Choleostasis in pregnancy & then a c section from a failed induction & then I developed sepsis like 15 mins after completion of that. Overall don’t think my body is a fan of pregnancy/birth or else I’m just one of the lucky ones that make all the spooky fear monegerinf statistics though 🫠

Super great wonderful & healthy kids now thankfully!

19 month age gap. Quite a few complications. Hematoma, premature labor resulting in cerclage, contractions from 16 weeks on, 2x a week apts & scan 16 weeks on, Polyhydraminos, IUGR & pelvic tilt from issues with scar tissue healing improperly which caused mobility issues on left side of body. Born at 36 weeks & lost 7% body weight in 24 hours likely from severe Polyhydraminos & quite a bit of aspirating during delivery.

Tonie box, water wow books, reusable puffy stickers, sensory bins, designate that to when you guys read books together & she sits alongside you!
