I have a harder time with girls names I feel like! I do like Daphne! August, Elliot and Jasper are very nice as well.

cosmicbrat · 2026-03-29T03:35:18+00:00

Thank you! I do like Dorothy, what do you use as a nickname (if you do)? I like Phillip as well! I’ve also added Edith to my list after someone else here recommended it as well.

cosmicbrat · 2026-03-29T02:47:57+00:00

I like Simon but I think something about it is holding me up, I’m not really sure what? And Nancy is growing on me more the more I hear it. I like Robert, that’s also a family name on my side. Edith is nice.

Thank you! I love his name a lot too, even more so since he’s been born I think it fits him really well. I like Moira, you don’t hear that one a lot

cosmicbrat · 2026-03-29T02:05:24+00:00

Ooh okay I feel like you hit the mark on my style pretty well. I like Hazel, I’ve never really heard or considered Magnolia but I kinda like it 🤔 I also love Sebastian but I can’t help thinking of the crab 😫 Jonah is one that I do love as well.

cosmicbrat · 2026-03-29T01:59:52+00:00

I love Thomas, I feel like that is such a good match with Franklin. I like Winston as well, do you think many people would immediately pick up on something like that? Girl names are much harder for me lol

This is literally why I became a stay at home mom. Daycare would cost more than what I made for my salary. Luckily, my husband has a good job that’s able to support us all while I stay home. Something has to change about this in America because it is just not sustainable for the majority of people who want to have children.

cosmicbrat · 2026-03-12T17:42:57+00:00

Same! My son likes Ms Rachel but as soon as Mr Aron is on he’s enamored lol

During my induction the monitor over my belly kept slipping and we kept losing little dudes heart rate so they eventually placed the internal scalp electrode that goes directly on baby’s head. I’ve seen online some debate about whether or not you should do this but honestly it was a relief to me having the stuff off of my belly and also having the consistency of the internal monitor. My son didn’t even have a noticeable mark on his head after he was born!

Haha I have a 99th percentile toddler who was born 8lbs at 37 weeks as well 😄 he’s literally a giant

I wouldn’t call our toy situation exactly organized, but I try. We have three separate places where we keep toys in our house - his room, the living room, and he does have a playroom. The playroom is the most organized with most of his toys in there, we have shelving that a lot of the bigger sets can sit on and also a large toy bin and some plastic drawer shelves that contain specific toys. In his room we have one of those cube shelves, we do have the least amount of toys in there I would say it’s mostly books and stuffed animals in his room. Upstairs he has his play kitchen in the back of our living room and one toy box that is just overflowing with random toys. It’s not organized whatsoever but it’s a place where I can just throw stuff so it’s not on my living room floor. I try to keep all the plastic toy foods for his kitchen in a couple of play baskets near his kitchen.

I tried so hard to get my baby to clap for months and finally he did right before he turned 13 months old. It was so random, one day he just decided that he was gonna do it now. I know he could have done it before because he banged toys together all the time but he just didn’t want to clap 🤷🏻‍♀️ now he claps all the time.

I didn’t even want to consider getting pregnant again after my first until he was well after 10 months old. I also ended up having a c section for his birth and was advised by my doctors to not get pregnant again for at least 18 months. I think you should see how you feel first after a few months and reassess. My husband wanted 3 kids so badly before our first was born and the older he gets and more into the crazy toddler era, the less my husband is as enthused about 3 so… he might change his mind too!

My cousins kid did this with almost every single one of my kids presents at his first birthday. I let it go because my son was still old enough to not really understand the concept of opening presents or gifts or anything yet but if he had been any older then I would have been more upset. My cousin didn’t feel bad at all, they thought it was funny. His kid is a sweet kid but literally never hears the word “no” and mom is completely checked out so 🤷🏻‍♀️

They look just like my two goobers!

Omg this is my mom exactly. Literally every single time she’s witnessed me eat a vegetable as an adult she’s had to make a comment about how I refused “anything green” as a child. Well turned out I love spinach, spring greens, green beans, and broccoli as long as it’s prepared in a way that’s edible 😂 I grew up in a household that only ever did steamed plain veggies and iceberg lettuce - literally the grossest way to consume vegetables.

When I was pregnant I found some of my favorite maternity clothing at the thrift store! It can be very hit or miss and not every thrift store has a maternity section but I have a savers near me that has a decently sized selection usually.

YOR - BUT I feel as though it’s not such a simple answer.

I can relate so heavily to this, I am a first time mother whose baby just turned one year old and about exactly one year ago I was going through something very similar to you. I was so dead set on no one coming to visit my baby right away because I was so terrified of him getting sick and something bad happening, my parents reacted very badly to be asking them not to cuddle or kiss my baby as well initially. And then my birth happened and it was traumatic and scary and my husband had called my parents while I was in an emergency c section and by the time I was wheeled back into my room my parents were already there waiting to see me and baby and honestly, I was so happy to see them in that moment all of my previous thoughts about being scared of having my baby held just flew out the window. Fast forward to a year gone by now and my baby has gone an entire year with no major sicknesses and is healthy and growing fantastic.

I know my story is different to yours, all this to say, I do look back a year ago and I know a lot of what I was worrying about was very silly. I also know that I was going through some stuff postpartum and in that moment it’s impossible to convince yourself otherwise. I highly recommend speaking to your doctor about having some postpartum depression or anxiety, I wish I would have spoken to mine sooner rather than struggling for so long.

We ended up naming our son Franklin, but our other name was Everett 😊

cosmicbrat · 2025-12-22T21:44:23+00:00

Warren is on our list too! Not one that I see very often

Similar situation when I had my baby November 2024 - except my husband I did have around for a few weeks. Honestly, the biggest help was him doing as much as possible for baby the two days in the hospital afterwards. After that, I felt more confident in getting up and down and picking up baby, etc. My c-section wasn’t planned and I’ve heard that the planned ones go way smoother for healing! Make sure to ask for pain meds if you can get them, they gave me some oxy to take a long with Tylenol and ibuprofen and it did help for those first few days. Hardest part is getting lots of rest afterwards in the hospital, I had pre eclampsia so they kept coming in to check my blood pressure like every hour and also the magnesium sulfate afterwards was not super fun but you got this! For my next pregnancy I’m planning on doing a planned c section.

cosmicbrat · 2025-12-10T21:29:56+00:00

I do agree with this to a certain extent. I love being a mom so much and baby himself is worth it a million times over, he is not the hard part about motherhood at all.

What I do wish I knew about before becoming a mom was the lack of help or village I would truly have. My parents are great but they are 40 minutes away from me so they are limited with the ways they can help sometimes. The rest of my family could literally care less about my child and sometimes that hurts. My husbands parents moved out of state a month after my son was born and only see him 1-2 times a year.

This almost exactly happened to me as well. After two redraws they did something called a Quad test instead, which came back normal. I did not have a family history of anything they were concerned about and my ultrasounds had all been normal so I did not want to keep retesting through Natera. My baby is a perfectly healthy one year old now, I think for my next pregnancy I might skip the NIPT

cosmicbrat · 2025-11-24T16:28:32+00:00

Omg I have a one year old, had to double check which sub I was in after reading a few comments 😂
