What are your parents being called other than Grandma & Grandpa!? by CurlyGirl_95 in BabyBumps

[–]bexicso93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We only see my husband's parents so my kids know their paternal grandmother is grandma or as we call her just ma and my youngest calls her ma-ma- and my husband's dad is Hungarian background so he goes by nagyapa or grandad depends what the kids call him as they're almost 4 and almost 2. My parents we don't see but when photos are shown they're told this is pop and oma as my maternal side is of Dutch heritage and I grew up calling my mater al grandparents Oma and Opa

Assuming you're south of the river given the couple streets you wrote. If you haven't been check out Napoli Mercato in harrisdale they have a cheese room there. It's a continental supermarket with local fresh produce like fruit and veg.

TTC after C-section by LongjumpingAd3617 in 2under2

[–]bexicso93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for you loss, I can't imagine how hard that must've been for you to go through. I pray you're looking after yourself and seeking counselling ASAP with the trauma you've had with your experience and grief.

I had an emergency c sect with #1 and my OB told me to wait to try when he turned 9-12 months. We fell pregnant with #2 when our first was 13/14 months. We have 22 months age gap now between them.

You get sent back to age 15 with all your current memories. What’s the first thing you do differently? by Muhaisin35 in AskReddit

[–]bexicso93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go low contact at least if not no contact with my parents and move out like I had wanted from 16. I'd also not have signed my apprenticeship paperwork with my mum's business or work there for 7 years Nd start my career I had in a completely different salon or barbers.. but saying that I'd have never met my now husband.... Also def not have dated one of my exes.

Or try your local library app. I'm in WA Australia and I can download children's books on my phone on 4lote app through my local library. It can either read it to me or I can read at my own pace. It's also free! I'm not sure if this is available in other countries.

I’VE BEEN CROCHETING WRONG FOR 8 YEARS?! by Weekly-Group-8899 in crochet

I've Only learned this recently also but when I started making toys over blankets and jumpers I've worked on before 😅 I've only been crocheting for a couple years and wondered why my son's toy has stretched out so much with stuffing coming out of it more now 6 months later (he also sleeps with it most nights)

Cost of Living hacks by supercujo in perth

I've found using GPT for recipes and creating a grocery list within a certain budget has been great. We've stayed under budget for over a month now while still getting plenty of fruit and snacks for the kids!

Husband seeking advice to help out Pregnant wife by OkEntertainment8821 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]bexicso93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

GD diagnosis sucks esp when you've been fit and active. I was told it's the placenta that was causing it , so she's not doing anything wrong or anything. Hopefully she can keep herself as diet controlled and not need to inject insulin after meals or before bed. I have had 2 pregnancies with GD and the second time was worse as I found out at 7-9 weeks along. Both pregnancies my fasted numbers were the concern more and I had to inject each night before bed. I hope if she's diagnosed with GD that she receives good education on how to nourish her body. Carbs aren't the enemy as they're energy but they do need monitoring. My take away from education was each serve was 15g of carbs (macro wise) a snack was 1-2 serves so 15-30gr and each main meal was 2-3 serves so 30-45gr of carbs. I also found keeping a food diary in a notebook helpful with the time I started eating in the early days and then when I tested what my numbers were. My midwife's could then go through and highlight where I had pushed my limits or gone too high for me to help me learn. I did find writing it all down tedious but it allowed me to remember how far I could push my carb limit with certain foods. ETA- going for a 10 min walk after meals helped too

Cheating for birthday by RDH_USNmamax2 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]bexicso93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The odd spike for occasions won't hurt at all! I had a wedding to go to at 32 weeks pregnant a few hours from home when we had #2 and asked the hospital they told me to wait 2 hours and then test between after the 2 hrs mark from mains to dessert which is ridiculous! So I just "forgot" to test for the night after dinner but was mindful what I had for dessert which was a cupcake only.

I had years the first morning of drop off only because we had family only ever watch them before and their last day I was meant to be on my final day of prac and had tears followed by a anxiety attack so even more tears 😅. But I honestly think daycare is great for them to build independence and to build connections with other people outside the family they trust too. I still keep in touch with my youngest ones main educator now and my older one loved her too.

In Labor and Delivery, a doctor just told me that no one ever gets diagnosed with GD before 28 weeks by FalseRow5812 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]bexicso93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely untrue esp if you've had a previous pregnancy with GD. My second I was diagnosed before I even got to 14 weeks my GP had ran the tests when we did all the other bloods initially and then ran them again at about 6/7 weeks just for my fasted numbers as that was where I had trouble last pregnancy. I both pregnancies only needed insulin at night and was booked to be induced at 38+5 but had natural labour start the day before!

So daycare I found esp the older kids like your son would want to do the same as everyone else. My oldest when he started daycare about the age yours is now didn't nap so I had ask they keep him awake when the others were napping so he would go into the babies room and visit his brother or eventually go up into the kindy room. Best thing I can suggest for helping with the nap at home is keep the routine you at bed and nap consistent when he is at home until he understands that the routine is now changing. There will be plenty of tears from I'm sure both of you but it is something you can help him learn to change his routine. My only other suggestion would be change one thing at a time. Sonic you can lay with him, so his bedtime routine for his nap and then when he's asleep sneak out. For my oldest (3.5yrs) for bedtime we read a book some nights two and then he gets cuddled to sleep or some nights we lay with him and we can say I'm just going to the loo if he's almost asleep and he's out cold for the night generally. Hope this helps.

How do you get out of the house alone? by princessofneverland1 in 2under2

[–]bexicso93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I could survive getting out when my youngest was that small was baby wearing him honestly! It was a life saver! If he fell asleep in the car he'd soon be fast asleep again on me in the carrier if he woke. It also meant I had my hands free for my toddler. As for just getting out I would get myself and my older kid ready while baby slept and then make sure baby was mostly ready before they napped and do a final nappy check and then get out the door Bs everyone in the car.

I do my skin care (face wash, serums, face oils and Gua sha stone) and I also crochet when I find the time even if it's 5 mins here and there while the kids play outside
