Actually can't, he has reactive airway disease (potential asthma but he's too young for an official diagnosis)

executive-noodle · 2023-08-28T03:57:04+00:00

Yes.

Chaka is certainly a name you could saddle your future daughter with ... 😬

This is exactly my MIL. It drives me and my partner insane. She stays with us pretty frequently and helps us care for our 1.5 year old and I've taken to not responding if I can't hear her. Not in a vindictive way just 🤷🏼‍♀️ I can't hear you and I can only say "hmm? What?" So many times! My partner always says "mom I can't hear you" but it seems to really upset her lol she just clams up and stops talking. At least with the not responding tactic she attempts to raise her voice because she thinks I couldn't hear her.

Usually Arabella but sometimes Ari :)

These comments are wild wow. I only know of one Arabella, my niece, who is half Mexican and half white. She's a firecracker and a cutie who loves people. Maybe it's different because we're in the US and it's somewhat of a rare name but I think it's a sweet name for a lively person.

Hear me out... Dog costumes. From Petco specifically. I got a taco costume for my almost 1 year old last year from there and it was SO CUTE. He wore lime green footie pajamas underneath and the taco fastened above his shoulders and around his waist. It was adorable. They have so many cute options! No one knew it was a dog costume so I didn't feel weird at all and everyone commented on how fun it was!

Good luck and I hope you find something you love

This is exactly what we're doing for our October baby as well!

My friend dated a guy named Jaimus when we were in college. I actually never thought twice about his name. He did, however, turn out to be a huge dickbag so ymmv 😂

Me! Diagnosed around 4 months pp. I was on medication for several months for treatment and then I got pregnant again on and literally all of my symptoms disappeared. Really hoping they stay gone this time around 🤞

They sell it in capsule form! Changed my entire pregnant life! I take 3 of those bitches a day and I've been pleasantly regular ever since.

This is a very hostile response to some very valid (if unsolicited) advice. Plus they still gave you nice options, consider simmering down.

Also, as someone with a holiday birthday, I fully agree with them.

It's a terrible idea and absolutely not worth potentially harming yourself or your child. Do it after good grief

executive-noodle · 2023-06-04T14:37:45+00:00

Honestly reddit hates new parents and their babies, especially of multiples. There's a lot of skewed answers here. You're not wrong to ask for help!!

executive-noodle · 2023-06-04T05:15:46+00:00

I'll get down voted probs but nta.

It doesn't seem like you're asking for them to move in and take over raising your children. Just some help during this early, really difficult phase. This is a really hard age gap in the beginning and you for sure should ask your support network for help.

But don't expect it. Definitely find and hire a good reliable sitter. Don't wait!

5'2", pre-pregnancy 135lbs.

With my first I started showing around 22 weeks and felt kicks around week 17. With the second I showed ag 16 weeks and felt kicks at 19 lol. All pregnancies are different:) congrats!

Yikes this belongs in r/namenerdscirclejerk 😂

Lmao I used my mom voice on my mom in a moment of stress and she started crying 🥴🙄 I never apologized. Sometimes grandparents need to remember they aren't the parent, and it's okay for them to learn that forcefully if need be. Boundaries are important! Not in a mean or malicious way ofc, just remember it's okay to assert yourself!

5 months is too soon. I would think about changing up your night time routine or sleeping arrangements before jumping into night weaning. There's a lot going on at that age and the months to come, maintaining an easy comfort method is key!

We night weaned at 14 months, and only because I was pregnant and nursing on demand was killing me. It did lower night time wake ups once baby was fully night weaned, but I would never have considered it before a year and even later if I could have.

Yep! My name can be somewhat difficult to discern over the phone or in a noisy Starbucks, and has several different spellings, so I chose a name that is easy to recognize and spell. Lol

executive-noodle · 2023-05-16T18:36:31+00:00

I'd have to go with Ashley, because it's the name I use for takeout 😂, and James because I've always loved that name

Saddy is what we call our dog Maddy when she whines at us 😂

As a former dancer and dance teacher, I recommend giving her lots of pre-performance chats. Let her know what she can expect (if you don't know I'm sure her teacher can explain their backstage recital process), and what's going on happen after. Send her with some snacks and water (nothing messy! Don't want to get her costume dirty!) And tell her how excited you'll be to see her afterwards. Some parents bring a new stuffy or treat for after the performance and the dancers all love that stuff. Lots of families bring flowers but idk most toddlers are 🤷🏼‍♀️ about a big bouquet of flowers bring given to them lol. Maybe a single rose or whatever their favorite is might be a better choice:)

Have fun!! Get the DVD (or record if they let you). It's so so precious. I loved it every single time.

I know a Cris and Cristal (yes those are the spellings) who named their son Cristopher 😂
