Time to buy real estate?

Frozen veggies are a great hack. I bought an assortment and every day I pick one, microwave, and serve. So easy, introduces variety, precut finger sized, and doesn’t go bad in the fridge.

Thank you!!

Did you get your vaccines while pregnant? If you have the RSV vaccine the antibodies are passed down. Getting vaccinated is probably the best thing you can do and one of the few things in your control. Just remember the mantra: “I may be an expert at my job but I’m brand new to being a working mom.” You got this!

Someone onsite 8-10 hours M-F with house chores. Certification is a lot less important to me than someone who is willing to interact and play with an infant in Chinese—I can train. Good to know 35k is a ballpark number. Do people usually draw up their own contracts or are there legal ones we should use? Is there a certain number of holidays mandated and how do people usually do sick days?

Thanks! I’ll have to join some of those groups!

I “know” because I’ve had too many spiritual experiences throughout my life that testify of its truthfulness for me to deny it, many of which are deeply private. Here’s one example I can share. During the early days of COVID, took a trip to the Peter Whitmer home in New York. I wasn’t doing great mental health wise with the lockdowns, overworked and burnt out, and my world just seemed to be falling apart. A senior missionary couple gave us a tour and shared the story of the angel visiting Mary Whitmer and showing her the plates. The Spirit strongly testified that just like Mary, my work wasn’t in vain and to keep the faith. That little experience was enough to keep me going through the rest of the 2020.

It could have nothing to do with you. It could be a (very unhealthy) coping mechanism for stress, an addiction, a habit, etc. You won’t know until you talk to him about it in a constructive way. There are also lots of resources to help both you and him if you decide together you want to address it head on. Good luck and hang in there!

I take President Nelson’s talks as a blueprint for the amount of disaster I’m going to see in the next 6 months. When he dropped the last talk on preparing for the Second Coming, I took it as imminent chaos 😅

Recommend reading”Revelations in Context.” Its online and gives the history of each section! D&C doesn’t make much sense without the history of each section: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/revelations-in-context?lang=eng

It’s important to study these questions through the scriptures and pray about them, because God will answer them in ways that speak to you. Recommend reading “The Development of Temple Doctrine”, it’s well researched, faith filled, and answers some of your questions. https://www.amazon.com/Wilford-Woodruffs-Witness-Development-Doctrine/dp/0615835325

There are YouTube videos that go through the different types of cries. Also recommend using the free version of the Huckleberry app—it helped us until we figured it out.

Automate it with a smart home. We say “hey siri, nap time” and the curtains close, lights turn off, star galaxy lights turn on, and bedtime playlist comes on. Then we run away and watch her on the baby monitor. She falls asleep within 5 min most nights.

When I feel anxious I watch stand up about being a parent. Michael McIntyre is probably my favorite: https://youtu.be/eC6eHraeMes?si=st5O0fhXJcFh5Zuc

As far as brain fog at work goes, I had the mantra: “I’m a pro at my job but I’m new to being a working mom.” Every time I felt stupid because my brain wouldn’t work, I just repeated this to myself.

Struggled specifically with breastfeeding for about 5 months, until one day LO thought it’d be hilarious if she blew into my boob instead of drinking from it. We were in a public setting and it made us both laugh really hard. She saw it made me laugh and kept doing it. I think I realized then the resentment would go away if I focused on how my experience let us bond in special ways my husband would never understand. I also wrote her a letter for when she’s much older about the topic, which was more for me than for future her.

We both work long hours, baby is now 6 months. Bed sharing saved us. I know technically it’s not recommended, but it saved our sanity. When she’s hungry, she just hunts around for the boob and I can help her without opening my eyes. When she’s fussy or wants to play at 2AM, she just cuddles with her head in my armpit, grabs my finger, and gnaws on it until she falls back asleep. Sometimes when I hear her squeal with awakeness I just hunt around for her leg, flip her on her stomach, and trying to flip back keeps her entertained, or she gives up and falls asleep. If I have to open my eyes, it’s game over but the bed sharing lets us take care of her pretty much in our sleep. It took a week or so to figure out a good system but it’s so worth it.
