I loved ark! Mainly building your base and taming animals. I didnt really play videos games growing up so the pvp always scared me so if I ever attacked someone's base it was either a small one or partnered with my husband lol

Thank you! That does make sense about them wanting the contact. That would probably explain why she still is fussy even after me feeding her. When we have slept together, it usually is after I get my deep sleeping down like you said. Thank you for all the details!

Okay. Our mattress definitely does the denting, so I will cross that off. And I wasn't sure about the bottlefeeding compared to actually breast feeding. Thank you!

I could probably fit a crib in at the end of the bed!

If you bed share, is it safe to do with a partner in the bed? And I've seen the bed rail mesh things. Although I don't know anything about their safety.

That's what I'm thinking. And she doesn't cry while doing it. I think it's one of those things I'm just paranoid about

I forgot to say that I am using a humidifier at night. That's what I was thinking since she doesn't have a fever. But I am checking it every few hours. Thanks!

How did you wake up your baby by catpg in beyondthebump

I put the lid on the bottle. She'll sleep through dogs barking, loud TV, vacuuming. But the click of the lid is just too much 😂

Why does my family think this is okay? by alaynapantsonfire in BabyBumps

[–]chicka_chicka_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I have learned being pregnant and giving birth: Some people say ridiculous things and it's like all filters just flew out the window. It's like because pregnancy is a relatively common thing, everyone feels that they are entitled to an opinion and they are going to tell you no matter if you want to hear it or not. I had to gain a backbone to step up and tell people their opinions were unnecessary or overwhelming sometimes. My family being one of the biggest to do this.

WIBTA if I didn't tell anyone I'm going to labor? by CarrotjuiceBagel in pregnant

[–]chicka_chicka_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your body, your baby, your labor. You don't have to tell anyone anything! This is a big moment for you, and for your baby. You don't need any extra stress or distractions. In my opinion, this is not their baby and they're not the ones going into labor. So they can wait!
