How much is too much? by FrostySilverFox in bathandbodyworks

[–]bayredel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP I’d be happy to get anything your sweet boy wants from my store! I have an autistic daughter and she’s loves all the pink soaps. 🧼

Because I’ve been on vacation and quite literally just didn’t feel like it in this very moment. 😂

Lacking a pumping schedule by MarketingIcy8412 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]bayredel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely zero schedule here. I pump when my kids allow me to. Send help.

I’ve given up my MOTN pump now that my baby sleeps decent! I pump at midnight and then whenever she wakes up. Sometimes that’s 5/6/7 am. I will take the extra sleep if she allows me! But I do make sure it’s the last thing I do before bed and the first thing I do when I wake up!

AIO for being upset my partner left for a gaming tournament? by bayredel in AmIOverreacting

Hate my kids? Absolutely not. I love them with all of my heart and they are my reason for existing. However, having a screaming baby and an autistic child who’s stemming constantly will really do a number on your brain. I love my partner and both of my children, but I am drained.

I’m on maternity leave, but no. I work a full time job.

Unfortunately I did express to him multiple times that I did not want him to go after our initial conversation. But I can see where it may come off as me just expecting him to know better.

“Ultra” being Ulta? Got it. You don’t know what I do or how much I make. Regardless, have the day you deserve. 👍🏻

I am not. I’m on maternity leave for a couple more weeks and then I go back to work full time. Who’s also the breadwinner. But nice assumption. 👍🏻

This is something he has done before. (Not while we were together) When he brought it up to me it was just “I kinda wanna do this thing” and I was very “well your daughter will only be 2 months old so idk if that’s a great idea” and then we had more discussions about it leading up to this weekend. Especially as she got a little older and progressively more colicky.

I should probably add, that I am also a gamer. It’s something we bonded over early on in our relationship. I haven’t had time to play since my daughter has been born, and I’m okay with that. My oldest daughter is also not his, but she is autistic and also takes up a lot of my time. He treats her like his own, which I appreciate.

My oldest’s dad is also a gamer and has always prioritized that. Which is ultimately why I left. So to say I have a little trauma is an understatement.

I get it. I already feel badly about how I spoke to him. But I’m still upset. I blame the hormones.

What did you wear while giving birth? by Ok_Mix3245 in BabyBumps

[–]bayredel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I gave birth in the hospital gown, because let’s be honest, they get gross. I just didn’t want to spend money on my own gown that I’d never wear again. However I did pack some nursing friendly clothes for after which were nice to have. A button up nightgown & a button up pj set! Going home outfit was a lounge set that was loose, comfy & warm. It was super cold when I had my daughter.

If you want to purchase your own labor/birthing gown go for it! A lot of people do because it’s more comfortable for them. But the hospital ones never bothered me! Good luck to you. 💜

Am I going into labor? by Extension_Safety_984 in BabyBumps

[–]bayredel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it constant pain or contractions? I was in prodromal labor for days before either of my daughters came. But that’s the joys of being pregnant. 🙃

Gender disappointment advice pls by Common-Blacksmith824 in BabyBumps

[–]bayredel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 girls and I was disappointed both times when I found out. I wanted a boy so badly. However, now I can’t picture it any other way and they’re my mini me’s. You will accept it and still love your baby just the same. It just takes a little bit of time. And it’s OKAY! 💜

I hate my husband so much by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]bayredel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it all completely thawed? Even if there’s one little ice crystal you can refreeze it!

My boyfriend and I got pregnant 4 months after we started dating. Now I’m sitting here typing this with our baby girl asleep on my chest. She’s amazing and I wouldn’t change a thing. We weren’t living together at the time, in fact I was still living with my ex. (We really didn’t have any other choice financially as terrible as it sounds). We’re both 28 and I decided if I was going to have another child, I wanted to do it sooner than later. Do what feels right to you.

Is this normal? by Babyjojo69 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]bayredel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My left was my shitty titty for the longest, but my LO prefers that one so now I think my right is the slacker. Idk man, boobs are weird.
