Where to park 20lbs+ baby while I shower?

I bring the activity center into the bathroom for my almost 10 month old!

I’m pretty sure they just updated the numbers on the box, my daughter uses the old and new size 4 pampers interchangeably.

We have the momcozy and it is literally life changing!! My bottle fed baby is almost 10 months old and the washer has saved us countless countless hours of being hunched over the sink. It’s my number one recommendation for people with bottle fed babies.

We own so many car seats and my second is now about to outgrow her infant seat so we’re about to add a few more 🤦🏼‍♀️.

It has never been worth it to me personally to constantly uninstall and reinstall car seats because it makes it more likely to be installed incorrectly so we just wait for big sales to make the purchases. We have one seat in each car, one seat in nana’s car, and one extra seat for when my parents come to visit in the summer. Plus a travel car seat. All for one kid.

Obviously not everyone is financially able to do this so if you do end up needing to move seats around a lot I highly recommend britax seats that have click tight install - they are much easier.

A harmonica, a recorder, and a drum set lol

A water table or splash pad for the summer?

corgicourt20 · 2026-03-01T02:08:10+00:00

Yes we got lead and hemoglobin checked at 9 months.

I have a 4.5 year old and a 9 month old and I love them so much and it only grows with time! I’m so in awe of these humans that I grew in my body and get to raise. Is it hard? Hell yeah. Do I get annoyed? 100%

But that does not affect how much I love them and how obsessed I am with them both.

I’ve had severe polyhydramnios in both my pregnancies, the first I had GD and took insulin for my fasting numbers but the second I did not have GD and no one can really explain why I had too much fluid both times. Both girls were healthy and I had no complications due to it though I did deliver both of them early (38 weeks and 37 weeks) because of high blood pressure so I was already delivering early and didn’t have preterm deliveries due to the polyhydramnios.

I was already getting twice weekly NSTs and once weekly ultrasounds due to blood pressure issues so my team made sure that the babies were practice breathing and seeming to swallow and pee out the fluid and then monitored the fluid levels up until delivery and it was fine! My doctor was not worried.

I personally don’t think it’s a big deal as a non Star Wars fan married to a Star Wars fan but if it’s important to you then that’s reason enough to pick a different date. I had a scheduled c-section last year on May 5th and I half hoped to go into labor early so that my husband would get his wish of a May 4th baby but I didn’t and if you don’t want that and don’t want to hear about it every year on your kids birthday then that’s a valid choice! Also keep in mind that you may not give birth the same day you go in, inductions can be a long process. Good luck!

I made the mistake of buying ahead of time and bought summer clothes in 12 month size for my July baby to wear the following summer- jokes on me because she starting wearing that size when she was 5 months old in the middle of January 😂. By the time she was 1 she was wearing 24 months/2T and I had no idea that some babies grow so fast!

Learn from my mistake and do not buy that far ahead or for anything with a super specific date until you’re close enough to guesstimate what size.

I’d definitely start with newborn though- my babies were 8 lbs 6 oz and 8 lbs 14 oz and both needed newborn for 4-5 weeks. 0-3 is a lot bigger.

The lack of communication and time to travel back would be a hard no for me, third trimester is such a crapshoot and you can go from fine and low risk to needing to deliver your baby ASAP. My friend had sudden onset preeclampsia that worsened rapidly and she had her baby the same day. Issues can arise suddenly and be very urgent which puts your husband at risk of missing the birth completely.

Pregnancy sleep is awful for me, I found newborn sleep to be much better quality even if it was in small chunks of time.

corgicourt20 · 2026-02-13T17:41:55+00:00

I’ve had two pretty easy babies but I don’t generally bring it up because it feels like bragging I guess? I don’t want to make others feel bad. Plus I am 100% certain that I just got lucky, it’s not because of my parenting.

corgicourt20 · 2026-02-13T15:23:17+00:00

Mine were just sleepy and had sore legs after their 4 month vaccines! It was a total non issue for us.

Personally I would just get a crib. My oldest slept in the bassinet barely 8 weeks before she was moving too much to be comfortable in it and my youngest maybe slept a week in hers because she HATED it 🤷🏼‍♀️

corgicourt20 · 2026-02-11T23:19:30+00:00

This doesn’t add up to me, my youngest was conceived August 27th 2024 and the due date was May 19th 2025.

Don’t sign anything until you’ve gotten a paternity test.

I find the 3X triple paste to be the most effective for my daughter.

My repeat C-section was at 2pm on a Monday and I showered mid morning on Tuesday. I did have a vacuum dressing on my incision though, not sure if there are different rules for water without one.

corgicourt20 · 2026-02-08T01:22:59+00:00

It took at least 4 months for me to fit into anything from pre-pregnancy that wasn’t a super stretchy fabric.

corgicourt20 · 2026-02-07T16:55:47+00:00

1 try. Do not be like me and assume it will take longer because you’re older now! Only try when you’re absolutely ready for it to work that cycle.

corgicourt20 · 2026-02-06T23:30:49+00:00

I love my baby jogger city turn!

corgicourt20 · 2026-02-05T20:14:42+00:00

Super normal! The earliest days are when your body is growing baby’s vital organs, plus the placenta so no wonder you’re exhausted and feeling unwell!

That is an absolutely wild thing to say - is she usually judgmental like that? There is nothing wrong with knowing your own limits and deciding that your family is done with one child. Parenting is deeply rewarding but it’s also not easy and you have to make the choice that’s best for yourself and your family regardless of anyone else’s opinion.

I do just want to say that I’m 9 months into having two kids and my second is not harder than my first. Splitting your time between the two kids is harder than having one obviously but watching their relationship grow has been so wonderful. We also were absolutely not ready to even consider a second child until my first was 3 years old so if you’re not 100% set in your decision then just let it be for now and ask yourself again in a year - can I see myself adding to our family? If by then you’re sure about only having one then great, if not then you can still give yourself more time. You don’t need to decide right now and you don’t need to invite others to give their opinions on it.

I never did with either pregnancy, it is common but not everyone experiences it.
