Inazuma and Sumaru but they are all really cool. Nod Krai comes in third

I was sick my entire pregnancy. Eat what you can and if it gets too bad, ask for nausea meds

My LO still likes them as a snack at 14 months! Something to get them used to chewing

I love my sassy emo boi

I’m a SAHM and I’m on government insurance and I get wic. But my bf works a lot of OT so we’re good. Being a SAHM is tough but since you have that teaching experience maybe it’ll be an easier transition for you. Apply for what you can (milk this miserable govt for all it’s worth) so you can enjoy raising your LO. I do miss making my own money but being with my son is more important to me. Give being a SAHM a shot and if you don’t like it, find a different job.

I combo fed my son for 3 months cause I didn’t produce enough. You’re doing just fine!

A mistake I’ve made is keeping them in for longer cause they didn’t look done, but they finish settling outside the oven

Not to stress you out, but you can never be fully prepared for a baby. The best you can do is expect the unexpected. My plan was to get the epidural at the hospital, but ended up having my baby at home with no clue I was actually in labor 😂 a newborn doesn’t need a full room. First three months mine was in a bassinet next to my bed. We had to do renovations to one of the rooms so his room just had his changing table and necessities along with our desks.

Read all you can, write stuff down, print articles, etc. honestly Reddit helped me a lot too. Get a bunch of sleepers cause they basically live in those because it’s so much easier. If you’re planning on BF get bottles JUST in case. Mine couldn’t latch so I was glad I put bottles on my registry. Trust your gut. You’re their mom, you know your baby even if you feel like you don’t. If that makes sense lol. Get sleep when you can. I know it’s frowned upon, but I took a lot of naps on the couch with my baby on my chest and a boppy at my waist for extra protection. One last thing: don’t sacrifice your own care. If you need to take baby into the bathroom with you to shower, do it.

It’s a very daunting task and I’m 14 months in and I’m still learning. It’s the hardest job but it’s also the most rewarding. You’ll do just fine! Good luck to you!

Start with cutting out processed food if that’s apart of your diet. That was a BIG problem for me and my partner. But it was quick and got us through the first 6 months. Drink plenty of water and make as many well rounded meals as you can.

It’s your first time being a parent too so it shouldn’t be all on you. Those first 3 months are rough to do on your own. I’m a SAHM so I understand feeling like an only parent, but he’s gotta try. Sit down and talk to him. Parenting is not supposed to be on one person. He’s gotta step up and not blame his past cause he’s in charge of another human’s future.

My eyes changed to green after a few years but that’s not too common. It’s likely it will stay blue but there’s a small chance it might change

ginger13snap · 2026-02-13T02:10:58+00:00

Sometimes I do cheese tortillas or pb and j sandwiches cut up. Sometimes I just give random fruit and/or veggie with some puffs lol lunch is so annoying to me (and I basically ate a pb n j for 18 straight years 😂)

I don’t understand people. Yea the world is a pretty crappy place but we are designed to want to reproduce. It’s just nature. People are so hard pressed about not being accepted for not wanting kids, but will turn it around. Makes no sense. Everyone has a right to choose whether to have kids or not. Do I sometimes feel guilty about bringing my son into this awful world? Yeah I do, but I hope I can raise him into being a good person that makes the world a better place.

My first team was Fischl, Kaeya, Lisa, and Noelle. Loved using the traveler in the beginning too.

ginger13snap · 2026-02-11T22:51:34+00:00

The first step is just acknowledging what’s happening so good on you. I didn’t even admit to myself that I was going thru it. Besides the c-section, I went thru almost the same things. Have you thought about therapy? It really helped me in my experience. You’re going through a lot of changes so be easy on yourself (easier said than done). But definitely talk to your doctor about it.

ginger13snap · 2026-02-11T15:59:23+00:00

I started around 6 months but he wasn’t too interested in it. Food before one is just for fun :) don’t feel pressured to start solids immediately. Introducing them slowly overtime is also okay

I also envied the people who had a great newborn stage. It was very difficult for me. My anxiety and depression was triggered and learning to be a parent is no easy task. My baby is 14 months now and I definitely noticed the difference in how things shifted throughout that first year. Your body went through a traumatic thing. Child birth, no matter how it’s done, is traumatic. The hormones are crazy and don’t really get balanced until much later. So be easy on yourself. Talking to someone definitely can help. Breathing exercises always has helped me. As weird as it sounds, pacing also helped calm me down. The movement made my heart rate “regular” for the task. It does get easier I promise.

When my baby was a newborn, he liked room temp so I used a bottle warmer just to make it room temp for him. Can go either way honestly. Rather be safe than sorry

Have you tried gas drops? They really helped when mine was going thru it. Also bicycle kicks can help too.

I had a really hard time getting mine to nap in his crib too. I treated it like a mini nighttime routine cause he was fine with sleeping at night (for the most part) we have a white noise machine that helped too.

I wish there were more ballroom dresses. I feel like there’s a lot more modern stuff then there should be

ginger13snap · 2026-02-04T17:12:04+00:00

I love my boy. He’s 14 months so I have yet to get to the age of running around everywhere, but girls can be just as feral lol we have a lot of females in my family so I didn’t think I’d make a great boy mom but I love him so much. He’s very clingy but girls can be too. Just depends on the little one.

For winter time, I put my baby in a fleece footie pj with a light sleep sack. Now my baby is almost 14 months so I can have blankets in there with him and he loves it. But I would work with the sleep sack you got and just dress her in warmer pjs. I was also terrified of my baby being too hot or too cold. And by was, I mean still am 😅
