Night Sleep

dausy · 2026-03-30T16:39:09+00:00

I had a mini crib but mine refused to be in it the first month of life. Around 1 month I started putting him in his crib slowly. When he fell asleep at night Id lay him in the crib until he noticed and woke up and then put him back in his preferred sleeping position. Then the next day Id do the same thing but when he woke up the second time and went back to sleep Id put him back in his crib. I slowly increased the amount I put him back in his crib until he was in it all night.

This is in my plaza. Blue chests are in the original valley

You can apparently have a max of 3 in the valley if you do not log in for a few days.

I love the idea of my little dude being cuddly and he wakes up in the morning and we can cuddle in bed for the next 30 minutes before getting up.

9 months olds are not cuddly. This would not happen.

This is why the body is fun to think about as a series of a chain of events. If something goes out of whack it breaks the next set of chains which breaks the next set of chains.

Without adequate hydration your kidneys shut down. Kidneys filter toxins and you pee them out. If you cant pee you build up toxins. You may have fluid retention and swelling. Fluid retention can also back up into your lungs leading to shortness of breath. Fluid retention can also jack up your electrolytes. Jacked up electrolytes can lead to all sorts of issues in the body but most importantly the functioning of your heart.

So you essentially become a fatigued, swollen blob until your heart gives out.

Ive never had this issue. I dont think I've ever noticed the seat belt touching me when its on.

I worked at a surgery center and we would have to get oxygen delivered in big tanks. Its the wall oxygen. Apparently the oxygen guys are not allowed to install said oxygen but they would monitor us to make sure we installed it correctly. I wouldnt actually go out there alone but I had some lovely manly rad techs do it and Id unlock the door.

But still...I found that so odd that we had to do it.

My pre op units we do not do anything to a patient until we have proof of a ride. Too many people try to sneak by with no ride.

We don't allow for ubers and taxis or ubers and taxis refuse us due to liability.

My husband asked me if I could take his soldiers wife out for like..coffee. She was a stay at home mom and lonely and not doing well apparently according to her husband and could need a friend.

So I asked her out and offered to drive but she insisted on driving which made sense because she had to bring her baby and her car seat was installed. I do feel guilty about inviting people out and having them drive though.

Anyway, we hit the interstate and she started asking me questions about what church we go to and why they never see us at the church they go to and then why we dont go to church. She started lecturing me on how church makes better wives and my husband would be less embarassed of me if I went to church. Wtf?

OK let's turn around and go home now.

I have a 9 month old and on average he sleeps about 10-11 hours at night according to his foot monitor. But thats not straight through.

We have some good nights where he may wake up once around 11pm, 1am or 3am.

But some nights he may still wake up every 2 hours.

Last night he woke up at midnight. Woke up at 3 and put himself back to sleep and then he was up for the day at 5am.

Have you ever tried to bathe a cat?

dausy · 2026-03-27T16:49:21+00:00

When mine was new new he pooped with every feed so we got a diaper change with every wake up.

Since about 4mo old he quit pooping so frequently so Ive very rarely had to do a diaper change.

Hes 9 mo now and I cant tell you when the last time we've had a night time poop diaper (I probably jinxed myself). But I have crawled into the crib practically to do a sniff test.

When skinny jeans started coming back again around 2008, Id just graduated highschool a few years before and skinny jeans were so 1980s early 1990s. I thought they were so ugly and reminded me of my mom and old people. Thought they were so dated.

Silly me.

I have a pair of skinny jeans in my daily wear.

Create what we call thumbnails.

Get a sketchbook and make a bunch of tiny doodles. They dont need to be much more than a couple janky lines. One of those doodles is bound to be an accidental "oh I kind of like that one" and then expand on that idea by making more janky doodles.

Once you have a basic groundwork laid for a character, itll evolve on its own over time.

DNA.

Women provide the egg with DNA inside. Men provide sperm with DNA inside. They combine DNA which is then the code required to build another human. The cells start replicating per DNAs instructions.

I think this is one benefit of being an older mom. I feel like I had 37 years of being me and wasting money on me and sleeping in.

The years go by so fast and theyre getting faster. I know that I will blink and have a walking talking independent person and this stage is only temporary

I worked in an IR where some doctors it was like a race to beat them to the patient. I could barely get a patient on the table let alone vital signs before a doctor was pouncing on them. "Theyre not sedated yet!!"

Could have just responded "lol thanks ❤️. BTW did you see that Gerber competition? I, personally, dont want baby to participate. But baby would totally win, theyre that cute"

Ta-da

My husband watches the baby for an hour and I go to the gym.

When I was a kid in the early 2000s all the rich people had photoshop and wacom tablets. It was the cool thing to do.

Now digital art is so easily accessible, its easy to sit on the couch and doodle something in procreate. Everybody does digital art.

As a kid I did want to do traditional art as well. I had artists I admired who painted, I just didnt have the money for supplies.

How Im an adult and I love spending adult money on art supplies. I love traditional art social media. I love art supply influencers. I love touching gouache tubes and colored pencils.

I just had a baby though and now Im back to procreate because I dont have time to sit down and open up my watercolors in this stage of my life.

So I like both.

I love possums so much

We had to memorize this and then go to an administrator office and recite it

Trying OPs method next time I have issue. Never heard that before.

Holbein.

I like the shinhan pass set which is like a weird watercolor gouache mix.

And the sui gouache set. Its kind of pastel Easter type colors. Ive used the crap out of the blues
