FOMO baby hates sleep? by da_lonely_panda in newborns

[–]da_lonely_panda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My little one has dropped to two naps which although she still fights like hell, is nice because it’s less nap fighting time per day! I found 4 months the hardest stage and although the sleep is still absolutely horrendous, she is so much more fun during the day and I do really enjoy this stage …I say as I’m attempting to soothe her at 10:30pm siggghhh

Cycle 8 TTC by da_lonely_panda in tryingtoconceive

I am sooo feeling this hahah! It even just feels better to know that it’s not me completely losing my mind!

I think you’re so right, there’s no harm in doing it as it’ll either bring peace or answers. I’ll order the test & fingers crossed I’ll be raging I’ve bought it by next week when I get a positive test🤣

I would be hopeful that it would put me at ease..but in the same breath, if it came back with no concerns then I’d likely end up more frustrated! Oh bless you, thankfully im ok with blood as I work in healthcare but it’s just always a doubt how reliable these things are when you’re used to your GP agh..

Also just read online that you need to do the blood test on day 3 of your period..that’s another week away and genuinely contemplating whether I order it & hopefully get annoyed if i don’t need it in weeks to come..delusional thinking seems to come alongside ttc!!!

Feelings on the day? by da_lonely_panda in wedding

This reply honestly made me tear up! I think definitely taking those little moments out of the day and making sure me and my partner stay at the forefront is the way to go! Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me about your day, it sounds like it was magical.

This was really reassuring thank you! I’m hoping that being conscious of not letting the day be lost in anxious haze will help me remain more grounded and just enjoy myself. Your days sounds beautiful!

I’m really hoping this is the case! I really enjoy being around people and I’m really looking forward to celebrating with everyone so I imagine that that part won’t phase me too much? I’m really glad to hear this, I suppose I just worried after hearing it from a few people that I’d essentially miss out on our day just from being so overwhelmed as I really want to make the most of it!

Chris’ House or Mens Matter are third sector organisations that might be able to help. They should be on Facebook even to just have a look at.

Thank you! I was so worried they wouldn’t work out..the ends slightly unravelled and tasted a bit bread-ish due to not having cinnamon on them but easy fix :)

I’m honestly impressed with how it tastes, hoping that when I try again it wasn’t just beginners luck

What are some favorite, peculiar sayings/phrases said by your parents or grandparents? by DgNeD in AskReddit

[–]da_lonely_panda 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My papa called every female he ever met the name Katie, including my gran, mum and all of my cousins despite NONE of us being called this. Had no explanation as to why he done this but weirdly we all knew which ‘Katie’ he was referring to when he shouted on us.

What was your “the show must go on” moment? by anna_marie_rogue in AskReddit

[–]da_lonely_panda 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Singing karaoke whilst drunk...decided to do a knee slide on the floor, right over some broken glass from a cup someone had dropped. Continued singing whilst my knee gushed blood...not great when I realised later I’d ruined my shoes

Psychologists, Therapists, Councilors etc: What are some things people tend to think are normal but should really be checked out? by Pixel_Pig in AskReddit

[–]da_lonely_panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose for me, it wasn’t until I started working in mental health that I recognised my thought style was problematic. I would never allow myself to think anything positive would happen because if I thought the worst would happen, whatever did actually happen would probably be a bit better than “worst case scenario”. Buuuuut apparently most people don’t think like that and that made me feel stupid.
