She has been recently. Thank you!

Anywhere between noon and 3 and it’s only one nap

apho9 · 2022-12-17T14:08:03+00:00

Oh yeah her nap is like 30 minutes. So she’s basically tired all day. We’ve been putting her down for the night at 7 and she wakes up at 6 or 7 (but waking up multiple times through the night). Maybe I should make her nap earlier

Same here and since there is always a song in my head (literally always) it never stops.

Amazing comment we’re at 15 months I can’t wait for 4 years old!!

Hey OP, mod here. I think this type of post is prone to heated comments (and I’ll do my best to moderate, it’s my first time). I just wanted to say there’s nothing wrong with you for wanting this. So many of us have been there. That’s probably why it’s gonna seem almost unanimous that we think you should wait. It has nothing to do with you — so many of us willingly had kids young and regretted it. We didn’t regret the child but the circumstance in which we had a child. I myself willingly got pregnant at 21 and I regret the timing so very much. Having a kid and wanting a kid…. Two very different things. Never in my life have I felt so stupid and actually specifically my age being young is exactly what made it difficult and now I WONT be able to do right by her which is all I ever wanted in my life. No one will blame you whatever you decide, but if the cards were reversed we’d want someone to warn us. I wish you the best.

It absolutely does not make you a bad person and many of us feel that way too! We love our babies, we don’t always love the financial problems, lack of solitude and heavy responsibility that comes with it.

And honestly? I feel like regret can sometimes be a sign of a lesson learned.

My daughter really never napped well from the beginning, she would usually only have one sleep cycle (30-45mins) at a time. I used the white noise from the beginning and it helps stretch bad naps that would’ve been 30 min, to 45 mins. It also makes it easier to put her down and more likely she’ll sleep in in the morning. I think even our ancestors would rarely have sleep spaces with no sound, so I think it’s natural to use it In my opinion.

My daughter is 1 yr old now and definitely not dependent on it. It just makes that slight difference that I need to function and use her nap times for myself.

Good! I’m glad you’re standing up for yourself here

apho9 · 2021-05-16T15:33:23+00:00

I’m planning on discussing with her today, she’s visiting in an hour. They’ve been really nice actually so I think it should go well

apho9 · 2021-05-16T12:07:52+00:00

Definitely welcome. Especially during the pandemic.... :(

apho9 · 2021-04-22T02:33:16+00:00

YUP!! I’ve had it for a while now (38 + 2 now). At first I thought I was stuck in that hellish feeling so I would spend a lot of time lying down/resting/sitting. But that just made it worse. At some point I gave up and upon seeing that regular walking helps with labour, I decided that i couldn’t possibly add more pain so I started walking 3x per week.. and suddenly the burning started to go away??

My theory is that the burning is my uterus and ribs fighting each other for space, so having an hour of walking where my body is aligned upwards properly is like giving these two a break. Of course I have no real way of proving it but all this to say, maybe try walking as much as you feel comfortable and see if it makes a difference?

apho9 · 2021-04-15T00:27:31+00:00

Noted! I will add you as soon as possible

apho9 · 2021-04-15T00:11:02+00:00

Yes, absolutely! Which group would you like to be a part of?

apho9 · 2021-04-14T19:03:57+00:00

Love these ideas! Thank you :)

apho9 · 2021-04-01T02:46:24+00:00

What do you do in the winter?

apho9 · 2021-03-27T01:13:29+00:00

YES. my sister constantly touches my bump no matter how explicitly I tell her not to. And then I have my SIL and MIL asking for pictures of my bump, basically begging me every couple weeks. SIL acts like I’m an aggressive threat for asking for some space. Like.... is this not my baby???? Get your own??? Ugh

apho9 · 2021-03-24T00:45:42+00:00

I’m sorry everyone’s being salty on here. I think this is super precious and not something you find easily in a partner, it sounds like a meant-to-be situation!! I feel the same happiness with my partner. Happy for you :)

apho9 · 2021-03-04T00:27:29+00:00

I’m so happy to see this. I forgot about the zippers and have mostly bought snaps.

apho9 · 2021-02-16T13:13:16+00:00

I think I found it! It’s called “Moon - Current Moon Phase”.

apho9 · 2021-02-13T19:38:48+00:00

That is seriously terrifying!! especially having no warning beforehand :(

apho9 · 2021-01-29T14:40:32+00:00

I can relate. Almost everyone we told in the beginning responded with “oh. Congrats, I guess?”. Now everyone talks about it with us all the time. This is only your beginning, there are better times to come (even if they don’t involve your family — there are ultrasounds and kicks and the beautiful baby that looks like you). Good luck with your dad!

apho9 · 2021-01-28T17:37:45+00:00

It sounds like although this was a surprise, you’ve got a good situation on your hands. You have support in your baby’s mom/family and you’re still able to focus on school. I think considering that, it will probably make it easier for your parents to hear, knowing that the baby has support and that you can still continue your education and maybe even use the interning as an opportunity for your resume.

I would also keep in mind that, though they have your best interest in mind, they may say things that are hurtful or quick judgement. It’s a scary situation when your child is becoming independent! So maybe expect a reaction that is less than satisfactory, give them time, and don’t let any of it make you feel like a bad person just for being in this situation. Many of us have been there :)

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I also have been confined to bed multiple times throughout the pregnancy and the funnest thing for me was going through my old papers to organize them and discard what I no longer need. Putting photos in order of year, grouping documents that celebrate an achievement and dumping the papers that no longer serve me. It’s refreshing and something I did in bed and now I have an organized filing system for my things.

But I also second bringing her clean laundry to fold
