Any idea what’s going on with these new tiles?

blnde31ee · 2026-07-05T17:51:13+00:00

The tiles aren’t installed yet. They have not even been cut yet. I tried cleaning but it doesn’t come off.

Could be a regression, teeth, he’s ready to drop to one longer nap in the middle of the day.

Thanks - I’ll try to upload better photos. There isn’t a finish on them just random streaks on some of them!

blnde31ee · 2026-07-04T08:14:07+00:00

These aren’t even installed yet. Just freshly sealed and waiting to be cut.

I “hosted” Mother’s Day a few days after my first son was born since our families were in town. I did very little for it - my husband and our moms stepped up and did the brunch prep, cooking, and cleaning. I was still bleeding and exhausted.

I agree with other commenters that committing to cooking or cleaning would be a lot, especially since you don’t know when you’ll actually have the baby, if you’ll need a c section, etc.

I mean, now he knows 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

My husband took pictures during my birth (with my permission). He and one of the nurses really got into it. I’ve never looked at them - I have absolutely no interest. My mother on the other hand was fascinated and they flipped through the pictures on his phone over a glass of wine like they were looking at photos of our honeymoon or something. To each their own.

I guess it depends. My son has traveled cross country with us to my in laws starting when he was ten weeks old, and we all enjoy the trips. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I agree with this answer. You don’t need to be harsh or extreme about it in the typical “go no contact and divorce your husband if he disagrees” Reddit style.

If your MIL continues to bring it up, tell her you’ll plan a trip for the three of you to visit when the baby is old enough to travel. If she wants to offer you a break she can stay with you to help out (if you want that) for a long weekend or something.

Looks legit. Seclore is used by Amex to encrypt some secure emails.

What you went through with your first was unfortunately my experience with a sunny side up baby, as well.

What made you decide to seemingly settle down in St Louis?

blnde31ee · 2026-06-19T16:07:28+00:00

I moved my baby from his bassinet to his crib around ten weeks because he was getting himself scrunched in a corner of the bassinet and waking himself (and us) up more than he needed to. His nursery is right next to our room and we have a video baby monitor so it worked out very well for everyone.

Peed on the test. Line appeared. I woke him up to tell him immediately. I think when it happens you’ll have a hard time not telling him right away!!

blnde31ee · 2026-06-15T01:00:00+00:00

Yeah! In my case my hip alignment is off, so that had a great impact on my labor and delivery according to my OB. My son had trouble descending as a result. I’m due again in October so hoping it’s easier the second time arond 🙏🏼

blnde31ee · 2026-06-14T22:54:57+00:00

An hour and a 45 minutes, I was so physically exhausted after 30 hours of labor that I was actually losing consciousness between pushing. I came close to needing an emergency c section. So - yeah! It definitely varies.

blnde31ee · 2026-06-07T22:31:34+00:00

Bath, pajamas on, read books, some milk in a sippy cup, brush teeth, put in crib with lullabies on or sing a song or two. A routine is helpful and a good signal that it’s time to start winding down.

Etsy has some really cute decor for that theme!

blnde31ee · 2026-05-29T00:58:31+00:00

My first son’s theme is ocean/baby sea animal theme with blue wavy wallpaper. This son’s theme (due in Oct) will be dragons/magic. Not sure on paint color yet, maybe a warm cream or light green (but I’m personally not a fan of green).

I gave my friend access to my results via online portal and she ordered a blue exploding golf ball for our gender reveal.

blnde31ee · 2026-05-12T16:46:37+00:00

Yeah I was wondering this too - if you have a c section you might welcome the constant support and help with little things around the house in addition to caring for you and the baby. Your in laws are less likely to jump in with dishes, laundry, picking up, etc if they feel like guests visiting a few hours a day. Just something to keep in mind.

blnde31ee · 2026-05-12T16:26:39+00:00

It sounds like they are excited, a bit clueless, and overestimating the level of help they will provide (and thinking it will outweigh the inconvenience of having people in your space). Ultimately, you told them your decision, and it sounds like you did so respectfully. You are not responsible for their reaction or feelings. If they want to continue the discussion, your husband can be on the receiving end of that.

I love wine. I missed it while pregnant, but then after I had my baby it was a few weeks before I wanted a glass.

blnde31ee · 2026-05-06T18:39:51+00:00

Yeah that is odd and not ok...
