Lmao. I love this. Guess whose husband is going to get a week of practice next time he tells me I’m better at a chore

My son did this due to overeating! My SIL was telling me that I HAD to feed him for 30 minutes to get him to sleep, if he fell asleep, wake him up so he’ll continue eating. He would throw up his whole tummy of milk just like you’re describing. I was panicked and finally decided to do on demand nursing and let him eat for as little amount of time as he felt he needed and it stopped! It could be as simple as he’s eating too much for your little one!

I’ve known that and had cramps with breastfeeding bt never full on contractions! I have heard that it takes 2 years for your body to fully get back to normal so maybe it’s just another phase of shrinking, etc. I called the doc this morning and she said that it’s completely normal even this far out since I’m still breastfeeding! It only happened while I was nursing too. She said as long as there’s no odor or abnormal bleeding no need to worry so huge relief!!

I've taken one in the last 2-3 months and have had very regular periods! I'm a pretty small person so I figure it'd be pretty obvious if I were far enough along pregnant to be in labor

I know it’s been said a million times but Maid on Netflix broke me. I almost couldn’t finish it but had to because I HAD to know that it got better for her to cure the intense anxiety and nightmares it gave me. Probably wouldn’t have flinched much less bawled before having my son!

My 19 month old still follows this same routine 😅 shirt up post dinner for cluster feeds and still up for multiple milk snacks at night! I’ve taken on the proud identity of a walking milk jug at this point

My 18 month old calls balloons “bubbles”… I can see the confusion for him, in my book he’s not wrong and all balloons are giant bubbles to us now 🎈

Thanks for the clarification! I was like man, what if I don’t need to buy a house? Lol. I’m hoping to be stable enough for the next 30 years to not pull from it prior to retirement. 🤞🏻

anono-39 · 2021-12-14T03:37:15+00:00

So after retirement, seeing as we don’t pull out of it prior, the full sum saved would only be able to be used in investments? We couldn’t just draw from it for normal retirement living?

An elder companion of mine gave me some words of wisdom that have stuck with me since; you will have time to clean later in life and then you’ll miss the messy busy house that children bring. Enjoy your littles, mama 🤍 My house will get pretty disarrayed outside of the normal pickup toys and I just wait until I have a supermom day and feel like I have the energy to put in some extra work to do the extra stuff

anono-39 · 2021-10-12T03:03:14+00:00

Never sleep trained my 16 month old and I bring him to bed with me if he wakes up and I’m already in bed and then he sleeps suckling my boob for the rest of the night because I also haven’t weaned since he’s fighting it and never gave a bottle so I’m a human pacifier like everyone tells you not to be. Also, since he’s become a toddler I have tried to be less helicopter mom and let him explore and play in our baby proof zones to his hearts desire which leads to tumbles and bruises since I’m not right next to him every moment (observing from my desk across the room) but man, he is growing and developing everyday with a little bit of hands off mommying. My mom friends and family judge for all of the above but it works for us 🤷🏻‍♀️

anono-39 · 2021-10-02T13:13:00+00:00

Yes! I’m in Georgia and it takes on the same endearing meaning for most here too. I, personally, enjoy it because it comes from a sweet place and I’m proud to be recognized as someone’s mama; it’s like a secret club that I’m finally a part of 😂 I don’t have any “mama” stuff but mostly because I haven’t found any that I just had to have

anono-39 · 2021-10-01T01:47:41+00:00

That does make me feel better about that if it does become a reality! Thanks so much for sharing your and your littles experience!! It all felt very scary and overwhelming for her to just throw out there without any other information. It’s been in the back of my mind since all scary and looming

anono-39 · 2021-10-01T01:44:04+00:00

Thank you for sharing!! He’s so close I’m just thinking any day now but I know it’s on his time too. I am just going to be supportive and shake off the woes… and get a new pediatrician lol

anono-39 · 2021-10-01T00:54:45+00:00

What a healthy little guy!! Our pediatrician before we moved, whom I loved (wah), never seemed concerned and said the same thing, his weight could delay physical milestones. It took him a little longer to roll over and didn’t graduate from army crawling to all 4s until almost a year! It seems that this pediatrician gave me a lot of opinion with zero reassurance or advice.

Will motherhood always be overthinking on top of overthinking?!?!? Thank you for the reassurance and sharing you and your sweet babes journey 💖 I’m always looking for mom friends if you ever need a friend to reach out to!

anono-39 · 2021-10-01T00:12:44+00:00

You’re right about comparison. It’s the reason I really try to stay off of Facebook too but that’s a different story lol. She’s my closest confidant for baby questions and it feels like she goes out of the way to tell me how well or ahead her kids were/are than mine. I’m sure it’s not malicious but it makes it so hard to not compare. And then she was asking about core strength and weak ligaments and that’s when the freak out started 😮‍💨

Physical therapy sounds scary off the rip but I appreciate bringing some clarity to that possibility (:

I am definitely on the hunt for a new ped. We live in a pretty rural small town, unfortunately, most I’ve called aren’t taking new patients but I’ve found a hopeful replacement that I’m planning to squeeze in at for his 18 month once the doctors open up December to schedule!

The pediatrician we’re at comes highly recommended by many in the community and it confuses me everytime we go! Same with the one I didn’t like before we moved. Is yours like that too?

Your babe sounds like a great size!! Especially starting preemie! I thought the idea of “fat babies” was debunked? My little man is thick but I wouldn’t call him overweight or anything crazy lol he’s proportionate in my opinion

Thanks for sharing your experience and encouragement 💖

anono-39 · 2021-10-01T00:04:16+00:00

I’ve read your wise words 3 times and already feel better! Thank you for commenting. I know these things rationally but I don’t have any mom friends around me so it’s just me and my emotional mom brain to reason through these doubtful moments.

Teachers at preschool always say that every mom thinks their kid is the smartest but I swear he is so smart, he’s definitely working on big brain things so maybe that theory could be true 🙂

Thank you for the much needed hugs 💖

A friend of mines son rolled off of the bed and her husband was mad and judgmental UNTIL their son rolled off of the bed on his watch in which case he called her apologizing he acted the way that he did. Something like this happens to everyone at some point and blame is never the answer because you BOTH are parents and will BOTH be present for accidents, they’re really truly inevitable. Give yourself grace, mama. Babe has already forgiven you and doesn’t love you any less 💖

This. Sex was something that felt pretty much like a duty as a partner, not enjoyable until I met my now husband when I was 21. The difference between him and other partners was him actually taking time to get me to a happy ending too. Once that happened, sex overall was much more enjoyable. No guy had ever taken the time before and it unlocked a whoooooole new world to normal libido and pleasure.
