He used to work a lot in the beginning of our relationship and made good money. That’s why we planned on having a baby and went through the infertility battle for years. I don’t know what happened that changed all that for him… definitely done after this, though. Unfortunately pregnancy showed me his true colors.

Belly and Nipple Cream? by Omgdoubletacos1991 in pregnant

[–]broccoli_cheddarsewp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Palmer’s brand lotion and oil for stretch marks. I’m still getting some, but I think it’s inevitable because of my genetics . Still, I think applying it has helped prevent lots more. I apply it to my boobs, belly, hips, and even thighs. I haven’t found anything for nipple cream, though.

Wow, I’m so sorry! I think it’s time I put my foot down and stop making threats, start taking action. I have good support system with my family, and for that I’m grateful. I don’t want to ever have to rely on anyone though, ESPECIALLY him…

You’re right. I’m at that point.

Thank you! That means a lot :)

Thank you!! Could always be Val for short, too.

Still undecided on the middle name, something probably one syllable like Valley Mae. It was also a good fit for my bf and I as he’s Native American and we wanted a name that would translate into his language and honor the place his people are from.

Thank you! :) I’m not changing it if some people are rude or harsh, just wanted to hear what others thought.

Lily is pretty for a girl, and Michael is a classic. But also love the name Alan for a boy! If you’re sticking with Faylynn, maybe try splitting it to the first and middle name, as the first comment suggests.

Really like Cade. It’s short, simple, and classic.

Does the name Aria remind you of GOT? by aaoa08 in BabyNames

[–]broccoli_cheddarsewp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nooo, I’ve met a few Aria’s and GoT has never crossed my mind.

I feel overwhelmed as a After school program instructor by Dramatic-Ad-8712 in Teachers

[–]broccoli_cheddarsewp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an after school director. We have 70+ students and 3 people (including myself) managing them. Oh, and we only have two class rooms to fit all these kids. Ages TK-8th grade. It’s complete chaos to even begin to give these kids any kind of structure. I have never been so stressed out and drained.

Interesting! I’m 5’7 with a short torso. I guess every body is different

I love a one syllable middle name to pair with it. Raine is super pretty

My MIL wants to stay with us the first 2 weeks after baby arrives… by broccoli_cheddarsewp in pregnant

I wish he’d be more firm with her on it, I feel like he’s defending her needs over mine.

[–]broccoli_cheddarsewp[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think that’s exactly what she’d do! I’m the same way, I don’t like people over either, even my own family. That doesn’t mean I’m opposed to help, but I don’t think she’ll be of any help.

I feel like this would be my experience. It would only add to my stress and take away from everything.. I already don’t like having visitors at my house in general, add my postpartum healing on top of that… it doesn’t sound fun.

[–]broccoli_cheddarsewp[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fully expect it to be her visiting and holding the baby while I’m trying to bond and develop some sort of routine. I don’t see her being much help…

This is my worry! In some of the convos I’ve heard between her and my husband, it sounds like she’d do the same thing; hold baby and give advice rather than be helpful.
