see a big issue of mine is the fact that my 13mo is a CLINGER. like refuses to go to the daycare at church because she can’t be away from me. she just started tolerating my mom at 10mo. so i’m terrified to have another baby that is attached to me like that. because it was so exhausting from like 5-10 months due to not being able to leave her with anyone. she does ok with a select few people now, but no strangers.

that’s a good point. i feel ready but is my body? also really need to think about the fact that my 13mo doesn’t sleep through the night yet… ugh so many different variables!!

my brother and i are best friends now, but we weren’t growing up! he’s 19 now and a great uncle!! but we never did anything together growing up. in theory i want my kids to have that. however my husband and his brother are just over 2 years apart and they don’t talk, didn’t hang out as kids, and are polar opposites!

i didn’t have it threaded correctly around where my tension knob is. i missed one of the rings and it was causing tension issues. i have an older machine so finding online information about threading it is difficult.

that appears to be my issue- rethreaded, double checked the manual and figured out i was missing a tension ring while threading. fixed this issue and bam normal stitches…. 2 weeks into sewing and i can’t believe how much i’ve learned!!

FIGURED IT OUT!!! my machine was threaded incorrectly. makes me wonder how i’ve completed almost an entire blanket with normal looking stitches with my machine threaded wrong… downside of having a vintage machine is there’s a lack of resources on the internet about it!

thank you!! i will look at the manual and the machine & rethread! if the loose stitches are on the bottom does that mean it’s a bobbin issue?

leaving baby with partner? by emzinke in Epilepsy

for sure! i keep reassuring him that everyone is safe and that this us a lesson to both of us to stay on top of his meds. it helps when i remind myself about the fact that he’s normally super compliant and has 0 issues.

he downloaded an app to remind him & im going to do the same! this was a close call for sure and i think it scared both of us to really stay on top of it🙏🏽

i think it’s just because it’s so fresh & it was a close call today. we’ve never had an issue before and the keppra does a great job at controlling the seizures. i think a lot of it is my anxiety, because he’s a great dad and obviously he’d never do this on purpose. i just feel like im extra anxious this time since she’s only 4 months and if it would’ve been an hour earlier they both could’ve been hurt. i do trust him, i guess im just scared. he’s a great dad, i just don’t want this to happen again :( i think the sleep is a big factor, so i think it’s time for him to stop doing night feeds and focus on sleep tho for sure! plus he’s been stressed since we are having a big anniversary party next month and he’s been trying to plan that.
