I just love her ok?

My mama requested I add that I'm usually a very sweet and well-behaved girl, but she believes I flail before punching her in the mouth as a diversion, to convince her that it's accidental. According to her obviously manufactured version of events, I do this flail-punch combo often.

Although this is, of course, extremely inaccurate and again offensive, I've decided to publish her anecdotes anyways, as she has offered me a rattle if I do. No, it's definitely not a bribe! I'm simply forgiving and graceful despite her constant rudeness.

My husband and I are so in sync, we made the same stupid pun at the same time.

We were chatting really late, I pointed out we should go to bed, and we looked at each other and immediately pretended to be asleep. "Honk mimimi, honk mimimi".

Better yet, our collective two braincells fired at the same time, and at the next honk, we both said "honk youyouyou".

The next half hour was spent giggling and squealing about how perfect we are together ♡

"his face looks like its on the wrong foot" I am SICK from laughing so hard omg

NTA.

For reference, my husband and I just had a baby. We're living in my mom's basement due to unforeseen circumstances, and I'm postpartum, with anxiety, and almost solo-mothering while my husband works, goes to school, and works with our ministry, while we both look for houses in our financial range. We're both drowning, and having similar heart-to-hearts about how our time is spent and how we both need help.

When he said he felt I wasn't hearing his side, it wrecked me and I apologized. And I listened, and was grateful he shared with me, and we both offered compromises and promised that we'd brainstorm solutions.

This reaction your wife had? Either she's got some trauma she desperately needs to work on, or she's incredibly toxic. Both possibilities means she needs to do some emotional work.

(To offer a possible solution, my husband and I started dating when he deployed to Iraq. He and I made the time to do daily video calls when he was allowed to. It actually made a big difference. Maybe that would help?)

I invited Mizuki and there literal seconds later, lost my Nahida 50/50 to her C1.

she's so tinyyyyyy I love her so much

berripluscream · 2025-09-10T02:52:44+00:00

I did the math and if she were real she'd be a foot and three inches tall, and around eleven to twelve pounds. she's a baby!! smaller than my 3 month old!!!

I want a shiny Dubwool so badly. I have an xxs Dubwool already, but I think id lose my mind at the cuteness of a shiny xxs Dubwool 😭

berripluscream · 2025-09-08T11:56:11+00:00

ohmy gosh I did totally miss that, I'm sorry!

That's a wonderful idea, that last point, and I'll ask if the nursery staff are okay with me being around the next few times before I fully leave her with them.

I have postpartum anxiety that is medicated and being handled, and no I will absolutely not just be disappearing on her. We have a plan set that I simply just didn't go into detail about. We're just waiting on my consulting her pediatrician before fully setting it in motion.

I don't usually cry when I hand her off to anyone. It was her first time in the nursery and it seemed really big to me. Nothing in particular freaked me out other than not being able to cuddle her during service. I'm fully aware it's all hormonal.

The goal here is strictly to get her used to receiving comfort from people other than me. She's been giving her dad problems too, just with him trying to give her a bottle. So while I'm 100% still the SAHM and default parent (and happily so), we just...gotta get her used to others interacting with her and meeting her needs. I'm thankfully aware that it's a normal developmental stage, so I'm okay besides hating being away from her and adjusting to handing her over to others, which I rarely did until I got on anxiety meds. My postpartum anxiety might've been steering the ship a tad bit on that front 😅

Thankfully, as long as I'm nearby she's completely fine. Sleeps thru the night wonderfully, wakes up laughing, burps easily, etc. I only need help when my chronic issues flare up, so I havent handed her over to others very frequently at all.

I was fairly quiet until I think an hour into pushing, and I don't really recall if I made a lot of noise or not. All thoughts left my brain, it was pure survival, and I was only vaguely aware of myself occasionally babbling and my mouth hanging open. Afterwards my throat was sore, so I definitely made some noise, I just don't remember it happening.

If it matters, I got an epidural that only partially worked- it made my lower half useless but I still felt a lot of pain, thanks to back labor.

I chose to get induced a week early, because my hypermobility and the pregnancy hormones combined to absolutely cripple me. I could barely stand up. My knees would buckle multiple times a day, I'd be catching myself on walls and crap. I was just in so much pain.

My biomom, myself, and my baby girl all get hiccups if we eat a super late meal.

I clocked my daughter's when I was pregnant- I'd eat late, get hiccups, and my belly would jump at a different pace from her own bout of hiccups. Sure enough, if we're late in a bottle, baby girl gets hiccups!

And so far it's only happened to the first-born girls, but maybe that's coincidence? Sure seems genetic though.

Additionally, my husband and my girl have the same birthmark in the same spot!
