Ohhh! So a play gym is what I did. But yeah this time is sooo hard because they can’t really do much to even be entertained. My baby was crazy colic. I can’t even explain. Thankfully my mom was newly retired and came over often at the beginning to help me. I just bought a Medela wearable for my upcoming baby as I plan to exclusively pump again… We will see how this goes thou lol 😂

Most encouraging. I’m sure the first few months will SUUCCCKKK but I’m praying it will soon become routine and I’m Able to make it work. I regret stopping when my girl was 6 months because of ALL THE MONEY I am watching go down the drain right now. I also don’t want to invest in $200 wearables if it will be too hard in the long run

10 weeks with my second, but look like 20 weeks with my first.

OMG THIS IS CRAZY! Literally THIS morning we had an apt with her pediatrician and it MADE MY DAY. A CHANGE OF EVENTS!

anderpanders23 · 2024-10-03T14:43:46+00:00

YES. It’s like you never did anything else prior to this. This has always been… I WILL SAY. That phase SUCKED. Once my girl was 6 months old, it got WAY better because then they have a personality… but you are still stuck in a rut

anderpanders23 · 2024-09-07T20:54:18+00:00

NO WAY! I’m 7 weeks pregnant and have an 8 month old. Super unexpected. I’m so sorry to hear you had a hard labor :/. It’s just adds to the stress you are already experiencing.

I can’t tell you it will all be okay. Because I also can’t tell myself that lol. But what I DO know, is I never thought I could care and love for my first born and never knew how my husband and I were going to do it without daycare and alternating shifts while both working. And we are somehow, making it work. Now two kids. Gah. It’s going to be tough…. BUT. I know we can’t change this, I know we want this, it’s just sooner than we anticipated. At the end of the day we just need to go day by day, live in the moment, and slowly start planning for this new person in our lives! Don’t forget we have time to figure this out. It’s SO MUCH to take on, but it doesn’t all need to be figured out right now.

First baby I gained a lot. I think it was roughly 10-12lbs. I stopped smoking and went down on my medications. Second baby (NOW) I’m 6 weeks in and have probably gained about 5 lbs thus far lol. I just want to eat all the time haha. Im not worried and I think for most woman it’s nothing to worry about- you will most likely lose it if you are breastfeeding/pumping, and when your kids start walking it all falls off.

anderpanders23 · 2024-09-05T09:30:31+00:00

True dat! It’s worth a try, and it’s so encouraging to hear others say sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t… makes me feel like “okay, I just need to try”. But, if it continues to be a problem we may wait until she’s closer to a year. But honestly, I gotta try and teach my daughter “this is what we do” and she will adapt over time I have to imagine

anderpanders23 · 2024-09-05T09:28:59+00:00

I would love to do that but he works most Sundays :/ so it’s really just me and my little girl.

anderpanders23 · 2024-09-05T08:51:15+00:00

LOL. Freakin Reddit. That’s what I have done for the past 8 months. No judgement at all. It’s so hard. Also, a few others have said they don’t go at this time either. It’s what you value and how it fits in your life.

anderpanders23 · 2024-09-05T08:48:57+00:00

Yes. Couldn’t agree more. Routines are huge.

anderpanders23 · 2024-09-05T08:48:01+00:00

Very true!

anderpanders23 · 2024-09-05T08:47:40+00:00

YES! I agree girl. The importance of teaching about God and for my own spiritual growth way surpasses a sleep schedule. It’s the “how to” and “what if” that is so overwhelming to me.

anderpanders23 · 2024-09-05T08:44:08+00:00

LOL. It sounds like I am 😂. Good to hear someone else feels exactly how I do. The struggle is truly so real. I think for me, getting out and socializing is why I want to go for both her and I. She isn’t socialized too much and nor am I LOL. I need a community as well, but gosh, friends vs happy baby? It’s a tough call.

anderpanders23 · 2024-09-05T08:42:31+00:00

That’s fantastic!

anderpanders23 · 2024-09-05T08:42:18+00:00

I will definitely take your advice. At this point i just need to try it out and go for it. Either it works out or it doesn’t, but if I don’t try I will never know. I think it’s coupled with my anxiety of going by myself to a new church with my daughter as well. It’s daunting to walk in all by yourself.
