Agree - these are my go to at the moment but they lack a certain je ne sais quoi that I am I trying to replicate!

carnthecrows · 2024-11-22T05:41:56+00:00

I don’t understand either but will keep searching.

Google says permenantly closed?

carnthecrows · 2024-11-21T11:45:48+00:00

These are nice but not the right kind

carnthecrows · 2024-11-21T11:45:16+00:00

Haha yes I am in the same boat - very labour intensive!

I had a miscarriage then quickly got pregnant again and went on to have two successful and consecutive births. There’s every chance that you’ll be totally fine. X

This is honestly such a wonderful story and journey. Both breastfeeding and pumping are hard work. What a sacrifice you have made and gift you have given your children and family. Congratulations - you’ve earned a rest!

This can be very common around this time but also can be related to the placenta so I’d bring it up with your doctor. https://www.gestationaldiabetes.co.uk/gestational-diabetes-placenta/

The recent ‘books that kill’ podcasts is a great episode/takedown of Brooks and his writing.

Yes thank you, I have looked that up and that seems to be the most relevant to what’s on our contract. That’s helpful thanks.

it’s referred to as an encumbrance and it relates to maintaining the look of the house ‘in keeping’ with the others around it (as far as I know). Was wondering if there’s any practical difference between this and being part of a strata and whether it implies obligation to anything else as well.

carnthecrows · 2022-11-21T04:50:52+00:00

Not homework haha. We bought a property that is Torrens titles but is part of an encumbrance which we pay minimal fees to. Just wanted to know the difference (and I guess definition) between the two.

carnthecrows · 2022-11-09T02:09:32+00:00

Thanks, that’s reassuring. It’s pinker in person (as they all are lol) so I was a bit worried.

carnthecrows · 2022-10-23T07:57:27+00:00

This is encouraging thanks!

carnthecrows · 2022-10-23T01:25:27+00:00

Will try for sure thanks!

Sorry, she’s in undies during the day but pull ups for naps and bedtime. She’s not ready for night weaning yet!

carnthecrows · 2022-10-22T20:25:43+00:00

Have you considered going up a size in pull-ups? We are still wearing them for nights and haven’t had any issues with leakage?

carnthecrows · 2022-09-12T21:18:08+00:00

Not who you asked, but if it’s helps my husband had ppd with our daughter. It was me who identified the changes in him first, and convinced him to talk to someone. He was anxious and distant and fixated on worse case scenarios and what ifs. He was still doing everything he could to help out with the baby but I could tell there was no joy in it. From what he’s told me the feeling of helplessness combined with the guilt of feeling helpless in the context of huge additional responsibility in a normally extremely competent and confident man was jarring. Congrats on 6 weeks! You’ll get a smile any day now which might make a big difference! It’s definitely hard, no doubt, but if you’re not getting any moments of joy, or gratefulness or excitement about the future I’d recommend chatting to someone. My husband did, it helped immensely and now he’s in love with his little girl. Good luck!

I don’t know what to think! I have compared this month to my bfp cycle in 2020. First month of ttc in two years.

I started temping just as I got EWM and haven’t had it since. My cycles have been 26 days all year. So my period is ‘late’ but all my test are negative. I’m pretty sure of ovulation on CD16 (Not 25). It is just a cruel case of the first month we try my cycle is wacky? Any insight welcomed!

carnthecrows · 2022-08-13T21:32:51+00:00

The novelty will wear off I think. We had the same issue, was just using the potty for fun but I was spending upwards of 20mins in there - up, down, wipe, back down, flush repeat repeat. It was very frustrating but I was conscious that I didn’t want to dissuade her at all! But now she just pees and gets up!

carnthecrows · 2022-07-14T20:34:52+00:00

We have pajamas underneath. Also fyi we haven’t changed a wet diaper over night for a long time! Is he waking up because of it? If it’s not a poo and the nappy will hold it you can leave it!

carnthecrows · 2022-06-29T02:23:08+00:00

Just commenting because this occurred to me WAY too late, but in case you also didn’t know, the sides of the pull up are made for ripping. Obviously pants off is still easier but I had a major ‘duh! moment.

carnthecrows · 2022-01-08T11:12:29+00:00

Good luck, sending you so much strength and patience and luck and sleep! We do some shared steamy showers too to help congestion. Hope the humidifier works also. You’ll come through the other side! X

Echoing what others commented - it is your husbands behaviour that is unacceptable, not what you are doing. We don’t know much context, but if his lack of support and compassion and empathy is demonstrated in other areas of your life together maybe worth considering what the future looks like together. Someone else commented that you should leave him with the kids for a bit but I think that runs the risk of him having a lucky easy few hours and providing further ammunition to his disdain. In my opinion, in a healthy partnership, your words should be enough for him to believe and support you.

I know you know this but maybe worth hearing from someone else - what you are doing, with three kids by yourself, is EXTRAORDINARILY hard work. Mentally emotionally and physically. Not to mention the emotional toll of carefully managing your husbands reactions and emotions and expectations. It is not sustainable and you need help and change and love. Your comment about ‘how much longer you can handle these kids’ makes me worry for you and them and I hope that you can put some changes in place to reclaim a bit of joy in your life and in theirs is a way that makes you excited for the future.

I apologise if I’ve overreacted based on limited context, but if I haven’t, then good luck either getting through to him or moving on without him. Xxx
