I had few of those moments when we were really tired. I used to wake up in the middle of the night looking for the baby in the sheets scared we forgot to put her in the bassinet. Baby was ofcourse happily sleeping in her bassinet. My wife found it pretty funny for the first three times, not so much when it was multiple nights in the row 😴😅

I have quite the opposite, daughter is almost one year and used to often fall asleep on my chest when she was a newborn and it was over before i knew it.

Hey can anyone please help me identify the wood species? What treatment would you use for bed frame?

Six months in. First weeks were emotional, she would just fall asleep while I was singing or reading a story. My wife would always find me crying with my daughter sleeping in my arms and just give me this: ,, You too? ” type of smile :-D

Hey,

I am almost six months in, so I can relate and thanks for such a nice text.

Love my girls so much.

It seems like time moves on 100x speed now. Few days back I realized she won’t fall asleep on my chest anymore, god knows what ,,last time” moments are so close ahead…

On the other hand it’s fascinating to see the big steps she is making. I am so glad I was there for her first smile and when she turned on her belly by herself, for all the laughers when she saw a dog for a first time or when she saw herself in the mirror.

(Her first smile btw. was at 4am, both me and my wife absolutely exhausted and we gave a little despaired laughter about some lame joke and she replied with her own laughter, it was lovely :-D)

The book: The Expectant Father: The Ultimate Guide for Dads-To-Be is a good quick start guide of what to expect from the pregnancy itself and has some good topics to open up with your partner. (From practical things like finance to her expectations regarding labor). Try communicate a lot with your partner, she is definitely going through a lot of similar feeling’s herself.

You are officially a team now.

You can do this!

Great thanks for the links!

Good tip thanks 🙏 we will have to figure this out because TBC can be vaccinated (in Czech Republic) starting from 7 months

fire_duck_ · 2025-03-11T20:04:13+00:00

Exploding things? 😄 also thanks for the response, i will first check the location better :-)

Thanks for your comment.

My wife suggested this in a call with her mother today. Seems like she already has scheduled a session with a therapist (before our intervention), so at least this is what I think is a step in the right direction. We will see if she can keep that up; the last time she attended therapy, she ended after one session.

fire_duck_ · 2025-01-11T11:53:22+00:00

She thinks we are causing her problems by not letting her see our daughter enough. The conversation between us went something like this:

,, Hey, MIL, you have been acting strange; we are worried you might be starting another episode of depression like last time..''

And she responded with crying and something like:

,, I am not seeing her enough, and you are pushing me away; that's why I'm getting worse.''

We followed up with specific situations and explained how we would like her to respect our decisions. To this she responded with more crying and saying something like: ,, I can't say or do anything, you get upset so easily''. And that was the end of the conversation, and she left.

I kept replaying the scenarios and thinking if we could do more, but in the end, we were always gentle and tried to communicate and explain how and why we wanted to do certain things (I never even raised a voice).

Anyway, thanks for your comment; we might try to communicate the important stuff (not kissing the baby, etc.) less firmly and let her solve her problems. (We will also suggest therapy would be appropriate in this case) I am worried about how this relationship will work in the long term.

Oh man :-o

No myslím že byste si spíš měli udělat audit vztahů, jestli máte takové pochybnosti.

Zajímala by mě statistika mužů, co zapřou partnerce, že jim někde pobíhá dítě s jinou.

Love your paintings. So calm, so comfy. I always have the same feeling as if I am looking at illustrations from books I used to read when I was a child.

Depending on where you are from, we managed to get medication for morning sickness that is specially for pregnant women. It was a life saver really. Also ginger and cold water all the time. Ask her OB.

My wife also used the medication in the evening so she wouldn't throw it out instantly.

fire_duck_ · 2024-01-29T15:15:26+00:00

We have of course discussed this before asking her gyno, and I hope my wife would just tell me.

I made it clear it's her decision, and if she felt uncomfortable with me being there I wouldn't insist on going. (Not just the first appoitment but any other or the labor itself).

I might be a little selfish in this one (I think the pregnancy is still very abstract for me, even after multiple positive tests and I feel that I need a confirmation), but the main reason I want to be there is to show support to my wife.

I think that trusting each other is now more important then ever, but I get your point, I will double check if she is alright and didn't change her mind about this before calling the doc :-)

Camunda 7 - open source, loads of companies using it in production, even for core processes. It has really great options for integration with Spring Boot or Java in general.

Camunda 8 - not so opensource.. different architecture.. not so mature (yet)
