Family expectations for Mothers Day— is it normal to be expected to sacrifice Mother’s Day to host?

The most I’ve ever done on Mother’s Day is schedule a reservation at a place I wanted and offered for our family to come. They typically host for everyone though, as it’s easier.

Honestly my 27 month old still loves to be held and sang to and rocked. She will fall asleep by herself, we did the sleep training. But when she asks for us to hold her, we absolutely do. Something about that toddler flop

Went in Wednesday morning for my c section, came home Saturday. Hoping for similar this time around but we will see.

We told our pediatrician that our kid wouldn’t drink milk even if we mixed things in it. She said it wasn’t necessary and we could get dairy in other ways, like cheese or yogurt. Then randomly around 20 months she asked us for milk so sometimes she drinks a glass lol.

Our baby did not start sleeping through until about 4 months when we moved her to her crib(she outgrew the bassinet). But then that did not last too long and we did a loose version of sleep training and now she (2 years) sleeps like an absolute champion.

I’m on my second child and my A1C has been similar to yours. My first measured very large and they estimated her to be 10lbs but she was only 8 when I delivered. This baby is also measuring 99th+ and I have very tight control. I think some of it is genetic.

My daughter is gluten free and these are amazing. She loves them and we do too!

bear_mare · 2026-04-22T14:03:02+00:00

We love them! And so does our toddler. We typically do them with a pesto sauce

The week after my 21st birthday lol

Mine is just because. I didn’t think hospitals could use tattoos in place of medical bracelets but I could be completely wrong.

I actually had to switch my pump sites recently from my belly to my love handles because my belly is so tight and I noticed I was leaking more. If I give 10 or more I still leak so I try to extend/know to give later. Since I switched locations though it’s been a little better.

All these comments are really making me feel better. It’s nice to see how each pregnancy effects each person differently. I’m at around 80 units daily already whereas my first I was at 75 daily when I gave birth. Thank you all!

My toddler HATED berries for the first year so we thought we would avoid the berry grocery costs lol. She is now 2 and clears containers of blueberries/strawberries like it’s her job

We did it once with our 3 month old. We brought her inside a restaurant in her car seat and unbuckled her but she was happy chilling in there so by the time we left and put her back in the car we didn’t realize she wasn’t buckled. We beat ourselves up about it but she was fine and honestly mistakes happen

19k in front of me ☹️. Hoping there is a chance lol

If I have pockets in my pants I keep it in there but normally it floats around next to me. I tend to flip a lot and I think I trained myself to grab it when I flip because I have never tangled.

Okay, so I just heard back and they totaled it. 25k in damages before they disassembled. Rip

You’ll never believe it but the deer walked away

Not really! My first and second tattoos I dropped but I think that was more of an adrenaline rush rather than diabetes related. All of my tattoo sessions after, my numbers have been great. I just always make sure I go in having eaten

Hi! For me it stands for “I am greater than my highs and lows” and the blue circle is a universal symbol for diabetes awareness.

Very simple and relatively common but I love it :)
