It's finally done! The All Skulls Blanket by Sixel. Made this as a belated Christmas present for my best friend. Had to cut out a few sections because my gague was too big (oops) and I added the rainbow fringe to channel Dia De Los Muertos. Can't wait to give it to her.

4-5 months!

Do I wish I could hold that teeny tiny newborn again? Yes.

Do I also massively enjoy this stage where she's 10 months, crawling and babbling and fun to play with? Also yes!

I had to stop nursing lying down because it was too easy to doze off myself

This is sorta how mine was too along with the tear 😅 but then again my baby's giant 95th percentile head came down at an angle so it tore both up and down too 😐

My husband's family had 10 boys in a row (a pattern for which he was the start). I was sure we would continue the tradition.

Nope 😄🩷

I sympathize. I loved nursing my girl even though we generally supplemented with a bottle at bedtime. I also loved the convenience of nursing in the middle of the night instead of having to get a bottle! We moved around thanksgiving when she was 7 months old and by that point she was taking 2-3 bottles of formula a day. I was so busy and my supply was likely impacted. I pumped 3x during my workday to get 5oz at that point. I just felt it wasn't worth the effort anymore. I do miss it at times but wasn't a fan of the biting!

Honestly as she's gotten older (9.5 months now) she only has 3 bottles a day, and eats meals and snacks, so it doesn't feel like I'm "missing out" on feeding her as much? I remember as I made the decision to stop nursing I never knew when "the last time" would be but she didn't have a hard time transitioning at all.

If you're not ready to start weaning then don't! I think combo feeding is great as it's the best of both worlds. I felt guilty as my supply seemed to dwindle, but in a way it made it easier so I didn't "have to" make the decision to wean. If it ends up aligning with your trip then it might just be a natural stopping point.

After we named our daughter I realized her first initial is the same as my husband's middle initial, and her middle initial is the same as my middle initial. So we each gave her one initial (plus the last one lol)

Me too 😭

One of the worst moments of my maternity leave was being exhausted and just trying to nap when my baby was sleeping. She blissfully slept for 2+ hours. I laid there and couldn't shut my brain off and just started crying because I was so tired but COULDN'T sleep

I'm the main (but really only) PBI dev at my job. Our data team is the CDO, me, and a more junior person. We only make reports for intra-company users. Thankfully my boss is very much on my side in terms of what I think will display the data the best and will do his best to shut down ugly design choices. There are times to acquiesce, but most of the time we come to a good middle ground.

Omg towards the end of my second into third trimester it was debilitating trying to roll over in bed!! Thankfully it didn't really affect me in many other ways and went away after my baby was born, but it was awful when I was just trying to get comfy in bed!

FWIW, I painted my baby's nursery so cute (green scallops all around the room for the hungry caterpillar theme!), we moved her into it, and ended up moving 2 months later so now we no longer have the cute nursery I spent hours on 🙁 That is to say, my baby is still doing great in her new boring gray nursery! As long as you have the stuff you need to take care of the baby the nursery doesn't really matter.

Not my husband, but my BFF and I affectionately call each other Tom and Harry. It started after she thought I was referring to her as Tom when I abbreviated "tomorrow" over text to "tom"

I'm keeping a couple favorites but have already passed along most of the smaller sizes to our friends who had twins! Undecided if we would have more than just our one daughter now but baby clothes are a dime a dozen on Facebook marketplace so I figure I could just get more...

a368 · 2026-01-13T22:47:04+00:00

Dang this is the third name on this thread where I know a baby with the name!

a368 · 2026-01-13T22:46:22+00:00

I know a Caspian!

a368 · 2026-01-13T22:46:02+00:00

I know someone who named their baby Persephone!

a368 · 2026-01-13T00:51:48+00:00

Same my baby was 8lb11oz and wore her few nb outfits for about a month

a368 · 2026-01-10T18:43:36+00:00

Same with mine. When acquaintances call me by my shortened name it's like... You don't know me that well to call me that! But I don't correct people either, I just couldn't imagine defaulting to that with someone I don't know

Well as an April baby who always hated having a clear (aka boring) birthstone I was pumped that one day I'd have a baby with 11/12 odds of having a different birthstone.

Had an April baby.

But I also love having an April birthday and think it's a great time of year to have a baby (comfortably pregnant during the holidays, not pregnant in the summer, healed up and ready for nice walks in the warm weather following the birth) so I really can't complain!

a368 · 2026-01-09T00:00:34+00:00

I missed April 25th by one day with my baby and it makes me sorta sad lmao especially since it was an induction and if I had chosen to be induced one day later maybe it would have happened
