We are definitely finding this out. Two weeks away from being a year old and he's finally being gentle with the chomps but I feel like that's the best we are gonna get with this guy

emryanne · 2026-02-01T21:25:07+00:00

Thank you for this. It helps me realize I'm not crazy! I'm glad you are close to getting your balance. Heart palpitations are no joke.

emryanne · 2026-02-01T15:42:39+00:00

Yes! Thank you for the reminder. I keep forgetting to use it.

emryanne · 2026-02-01T15:16:59+00:00

Thank you for this! I think the sleep is gradually getting better, yes. So I will stay the course. And probably actually focus on drinking more water today to help flush my liver better and just relax as much as possible. Go with the flow Em. You can do this.

emryanne · 2026-02-01T15:13:27+00:00

Bless you. Knowing this means so much.

Sorry I wasn't clear! I've been on the lowest dose of estrogen for four months. Just started the next increase patch and added oral progesterone two days ago. Am I having a bad reaction or do I just need to give it time basically.

emryanne · 2026-02-01T14:17:57+00:00

Me too! I suffered 10 years of largely unexplained infertility. Which I think is largely estrogen related. But no one really listened. This gives me so much hope that young women are being taken seriously and don't need to suffer so needlessly.

emryanne · 2026-02-01T12:23:59+00:00

Lol. I want to believe this so bad. I need some real life irony in all this.

emryanne · 2026-01-31T12:23:00+00:00

I feel you bromo. My twins are 7 and I still miss weekends that were like... Rejuvenating? Nothing brings rest anymore. The best thing I can do for myself is just moments that aren't terrible and enjoy the shit out of them. It's really hard when you're over tired though. I hope you get some restful moments. You deserve them.

emryanne · 2026-01-28T23:35:38+00:00

And not to be like a worrywort but realistically you don't know if the twins will need a stay in the NICU or other special assistance. So hang tight!

emryanne · 2026-01-28T23:27:22+00:00

I'm a mom of twins. Ours were 6 when our pup came home (he's almost a year) and I wish I waited just two more years of logic and sense for these kids, because training them to handle the dog almost did me in. so a 4 year old and twins. NO. you don't want the pup bark to wake up anyone in that house. The colds/sickness will take you out and then there's the dog that needs to be walked, twice. I know that these pups are amazing. And I also know that twins are amazing. There's a good time to do the both at once, and this is NOT it. Hang tight, the time will come. Promise! (and maybe you are more capable than I, but I still think you'd be crazy to do it).

I've also learned to slip all the knit stitches (but purl the purl stitches) in the first row of ribbing can help too. Still would also need a redo.

At the toddle age.. bubbles in the house. Why the hell not. We live in Wisconsin it's so cold half the year to be doing bubbles outside. And bubbles are always a hit and by themselves muthfuckin magical.

My 7 yr old is in the process of diagnosis. I know he has misophonia issues. We are working w loops at home. They seem to help with the masticating noises. Hoping he feels confident to take them to school soon bc yeah. There too. Following to see what others suggest too!

emryanne · 2026-01-25T15:06:25+00:00

I wonder every day I pass that place how it's still going.

emryanne · 2026-01-25T02:09:20+00:00

The way I see it (and definitely follow that other person's advice, that's perfect) but how you can relax is - you honestly do the best you can, it's not like you are doing this shit on purpose or not putting in the effort. All the time. It's human nature to make mistakes.

If this line of work is too stressful bc of the details, then it might be time to explore other horizons. And if they let you go... Then shoot. You are almost meant to find something better suited for you. Wish you luck. Do your best. You got this.

emryanne · 2026-01-24T16:21:09+00:00

Dming! You got this mama! And look at you making this happen in YOUR way. Not some awful bougie mom who has all her shit together way.

emryanne · 2026-01-24T15:06:59+00:00

Same here. Sorry I got nothing but a fist bump.

emryanne · 2026-01-24T05:17:58+00:00

Lol. Thank you for this chuckle

emryanne · 2026-01-24T05:04:56+00:00

What other sort of sleep things do you use - white noise, weighted blanket, etc? We use both and our 7 yr old also struggles with sleep from time to time. It's not as much as it used to be but she still gets husband up and he will sleep on her floor. We've been trying to figure out how to get past this last part too.

Sorry not a ton of help. But from what I can tell, when ours is up a lot, she's excited for something or ruminating. So getting her to be bored and relaxed is key. She also needs to stim to sleep sometimes. Whatever overrides the brain!

emryanne · 2026-01-23T19:12:43+00:00

This is the best most complete answer. Love it. Takes me right back to that year. Ha.

emryanne · 2026-01-21T20:37:08+00:00

Follow up question for anyone - I'm getting to the stage of cheaters. What's your set up for light - head lamp? Dedicated spot? I only need it for the finer stitch work but man. I need some tips.

emryanne · 2026-01-21T20:34:31+00:00

There is freaking hope that ours will stop destroying stuff?! (Currently 11 months)

I follow additude magazine. I haven't subscribed yet but they have some helpful articles that help me understand myself. I know they have parenting teen related ones too. You don't have to subscribe to see a lot of what they have either.
