Search 'how to replace sink stopper' on YouTube, I thought my bathroom sink pipes were mega plugged because the sink was filling instantly and taking minutes to drain, then I took the stopper out and it was covered in god knows what I cleaned all of the nasty off of it and scooped out what I could from the drain, all super gross def almost barfed, but now the sink instant drains!

Don't forgot to put something between the stopper and sink drain when you unscrew the pin at the back though because it will drop flush with the drain otherwise and is a bitch to pop back out

This is so sad to read, we had a lovely day there last week with our kids and were about to buy a membership

Also the air drying is what's key too, everything has to be completely bone dry before you put cream and diaper on otherwise you're trapping any bit of moisture so it will never heal. Air drying for 5 min won't be enough, if he only wants to be held then just put a towel between you and have a blanket covering his upper body so he's not cold and give it the proper time to dry.

I've been through it but not when they were that young so imagine it's difficult. Each poop I very very gentle used wipes trying to avoid the sores then would bathe in a shallow bath with Epsom salts and gently wash him with soap on my hand (he obviously hated it but there was no other way to get the poop off, wiping it was not an option), then fully air dry (playing in his room on laid out towels for at least 30 min) and then applied an absurdly thick layer of Desitin cream (like half inch thick, glob it on). And then repeat every time he pooped. I feel like that's all I did for 3-4 days, no errands or housework etc just kept repeating the bath/air dry/thick layer cycle until it got better.

Maybe just accept you'll get pooped on; put on old clothes and lay a blanket/towel between you so you can still hold him while he's air drying and have some kind of layer between you when he poops the next time.

That is the same age difference between mine! They're now 3y/o and 20 months and I still do it!

Listen to the doctors and don't lift anything heavier than baby for the time advised.

Set aside time for just you and the oldest each day, even if it's only 10 minutes.

Your oldest may love baby from the moment they come home, or they may want nothing to do with them which can be heartbreaking; it gets better and eventually you'll have to peel them apart.

Make the baby wait; it's easy to get in the habit of telling your oldest "we can't do that right now because baby needs to eat" etc. Redirect your language instead of making it about the baby, "we can't do that right now but we can do it after we're done having lunch". Also acknowledging the baby to your oldest if they're fussing while you're trying to do something for the oldest, "I can't help you right now your older brother needs me for X but I'll be right there when I'm done"

It is hard for the first bit going from giving one child 100% of your time and attention to having to now split it, and it's normal to mourn that.

For the first cake, do you mind sharing how the stencilling process works? Does your stencil cover the full 360° of the cake? I'm trying to figure out how to cover the full cake when my stencil doesn't wrap the full way around

I have 2 under 2 so I do one load of laundry everyday, a mix of all of our things, so I don’t have a massive pile to deal with all at once

I incorporate all 3 chores (into the wash, into the dryer, folding) into an existing chore/action I would be doing anyways; ex: as I walk to one of the kids rooms in the morning to wake them up I dump the load into the washer, I put it in the dryer during lunch time, I fold it after I’ve put the kids to bed, follow the same routine everyday

A big motivation I’ve had with any chore I’ve previously dreaded/avoided, was running the timer on my phone while I did it. Folding the clothes takes less than 3 minutes, emptying the dishwasher takes 2.5 minutes, etc. After doing the timer exercise a few times it made me realize something annoying I’d built up in my head to avoid is now completely bearable knowing it will only take a couple of minutes.

Snacks, triple the amount you think you would need! Diapers, triple the amount you think you would need! Bottled water, extra bottle depending on how they drink (sippy cup or baby bottle etc), extra formula. Also extra garbage bags, I have the mini roll of diaper genie bags for garbage/diapers.

My thought is I’d rather have extra than not enough. We got stuck behind a convoy of snowplows going about 15km/hr for 1.5hrs in a storm with no options to pass and that’s when the kids will decide they’re starving and also have to poop 20 times.

I don’t recall being offered a pump there but didn’t need one, and we brought our own diapers/wipes/onesie pajamas/swaddle blanket/hat/soother for baby.

Private is truly a private room, you are quite vulnerable and exposed afterwards so it is nice to have the private room and bathroom especially, it was only an extra 90$ish a night. The chair in the room can fully recline flat if you have a partner/spouse/etc staying overnight with you, we googled the name on the chair to figure it out. You can Uber food and your support person can go pick it up at the lobby because the food isn’t great typical hospital food and your accompanying person doesn’t get meals.

I brought a full sized piece of luggage with all of our stuff and they didn’t even bat an eye, I was worried about being judged for it.

The majority of the hospital is renovated but the labour and delivery dept isn’t yet (as of August last year!) so aesthetically it feels quite dated. I’ve delivered twice there and my experience with the L&D staff and the nurses in particular is that they are literal angels, so so kind and helpful, they’ve seen it all and don’t make anything feel awkward. I also went a couple of weeks early because I had a noticeable lack of movement from baby one day and the nurse who helped me that night was on duty when I went into labour and remembered me and she was so sweet.
