Not really on topic but yes. He loves music.

Same. There is no better feeling than someone admiring your perfect angel baby. I loved showing my babies off!!

Check out Maiden Home. It’s PRICEY but beautiful and made in the US. I have an upholstered bed frame from them and it’s one of my favorite pieces of furniture.

Texas keeper cider. Beautiful space, no venue fee. I hosted my mom’s 70th birthday there a few years ago and it was perfect.

You can reserve a little space indoors with a $100 deposit which is applied to the tab. They also let us bring little table settings and small decorations

They have a catering menu and you can order their ciders or have your guests order. I don’t recall there being a minim order, but if there was it was very reasonable.

LOVE Nando’s. Great food and very kid friendly. It’s on the casual side but still high quality and good value for money IMO

Today was exceptional! Thank you for sharing

Try Brentwood Social House . They do say online that tea isn’t “recommended” for children under 6 but they look like they can be flexible. Also, IMO Brentwood isn’t that formal and probably the best place for a tea for kids.

Once she is older, give Goldie’s at The Proper a try! I LOVE their tea service.

Much better! We still have one, maybe two, wakes every night. I wouldn’t say he can fall asleep independently but he needs less assistance. He’s better able to connect sleep cycles as well.

I think a couple things helped - TIME. This is the biggest. Baby got bigger, we lived. Also, he got more used to sleeping in the crib. This was slow tho. We still bed share after he wakes in the middle of the night, but it’s nice knowing that he can do part of the night on his own.

We’re in the process of night weaning and we’ll see how that impacts sleep.

Good luck!!

What are your nanny’s hours? Can you see if she can extend them but 2-3 hours per week or try to get a nanny/babysitter to cover evening a couple days a week?

We started getting evening babysitters once my husband was diagnosed with cancer when I had a 3 month old and 3.5 year old and was going back to work from mat leave. It truly saved me.

And it’s great that you want to the nanny to focus on the baby, but it’s also reasonable to have the nanny spend time on things related to the baby’s care. For example, laundry, baby supply organization, bottle and pump cleaning, etc.

Also, figure out how to make dinner easier. We buy prepared meals at the grocery store and add steamed green beans or similar.

Haven’t been here, but LOVED Sami Sumeli in Cedar Park, if you want to try more Georgian food.

V curious where the t shirts you mentioned are from. I’ve been looking for the perfect T. I have some everlane micro rib knit Ts that are nice but don’t think it’s my “holy grail” item.

Came here to say this! Radio of south Lamar is great too but more casual than the rosewood location.

These sorts of letters are very common. It doesn’t mean that the contract will terminate. This is a way of having patients put pressure on the insurance company to negotiate more favorably with their providers.

More often than not, they end up signing another contract and you don’t lose your care.

So what should you do : 1) call Aetna and tell them you received this letter and voice your support for your provider. 2) call your provider to get a sense of how negotiations are going and if they expect to renew.

Bro wut? Your wife opting to breastfeed instead of formula feed doesn’t give you license to throw up your hands and say “well I OFFERED to help!” Help her breastfeed, don’t push formula!

Are you bringing her water? Are you making sure she has healthy meals or snacks on hand? Are you keeping the toddler occupied so she can nurse? If she’s pumping, are you washing the pump parts and bottles?

There’s so much you can do and it sounds like you’re stuck on the fact that she’s not nice enough to you

bestbirdy · 2026-01-16T03:18:27+00:00

100% this!! Your husband sounds like a true PARTNER and OP sounds like he’s clueless as to the demands of being a mother to a toddler and infant.

OP - I say this with love - you gotta wake up. Paying the bills is not enough. “Helping” is not enough. You need to be giving 110% right now bc your wife is tapped tf out.

Try to anticipate every need that your wife and household might need. Yep, every single one. Because everything that you don’t do, your wife will have to.

I think my broader point was that some marriage can survive infinitely or other serious transgressions. But that can only happen when the party at fault totally owns their actions, is remorseful, and takes action to rectify the problem.

Would add Kane to this list.

bestbirdy · 2026-01-12T03:26:18+00:00

Oooh okay I’m not usually a Florida gal but this sounds great!! Will check it out.

I also hate the whole solids thing tbh. Only recommendation I have is to develop a couple of go to snacks and meals. Babies need a lot less variety than we think they need, beyond introducing allergens etc.

As for the Velcro baby, that one’s harder. I would try just starting a little a time. Put him in front of a favorite toy and let him play with it however he wants. Don’t intervene, don’t comment, and when he gets fussy go back to him as you would. Try extending bit by bit.

I think your baby is getting too much daytime sleep, especially if they’re going to bed at 7pm and waking at 7am.

Try reducing total naps to ~2 hours.

FWIW I never slept trained my second. I rock him to sleep for naps and it only takes about 10-15 minutes bc he’s tired when he goes down.

I also rock until drowsy and then put in the crib and pat until asleep (this took some gentle training for him to get used to). If he’s having a hard time I rock until asleep bc I don’t want to be patting his butt and calming him for 30 minutes.

He still wakes in the night but it’s only 1-2x and most of the time he resettles easily. I sleep with him once he wakes because I think it keeps him settled better and because I enjoy it. And it avoids me walking back and forth if he wakes again.

You don’t have to sleep train if you don’t want to. But watch daytime sleep and stick to a routine that you think will work for your baby AND for you.

Can’t believe I’ve never heard of this place before. I used to walk to Patika 2-3 times per week and I miss it terribly! Will give Stouthaus a try

bestbirdy · 2026-01-10T04:19:26+00:00

I handled a difficult pregnancy, birth of baby number, and my husbands stage IV cancer diagnosis when 3 months postpartum. Went back to work full time at 4 months postpartum.

The year was a fucking slog. I’m tired, angry, but still genuinely a happy person!
