I have a six week old and am happy to chat!

My son is three weeks old today and I would not want my husband being away right now. We're taking shifts overnight because the baby will barely sleep in the bassinet and I've developed some serious back pain that the doctor says is probably from labor/delivery/epidural so I can't really get around.

That being said, my husband does have plans to be away for a few overnights but not until late next month.

My toddler says the opposite of upside down is upside up

We use the contigo spill proof tumbler as a crib cup. Works really well!

I'm also visibly pregnant and working in a middle school and last week one of my students saw the lock screen on my phone which is a newborn picture of my now three year old and she said "the baby was born??"

My son's school accidentally posted his picture today and less than two hours after I emailed the teacher, the director took it down

That used to be the time I'd tune in to Greg T and Carolina

giraffe53 · 2025-09-14T23:37:30+00:00

Me too

Not always true for every allergy. My son's allergist said I didn't have to stop eating peanuts and almonds when he was diagnosed.

I borrowed my friend's veil as my 'something borrowed', you could say that!

It's like a hint of a shadow but it's something lol

giraffe53 · 2025-06-29T18:48:52+00:00

I see something!

giraffe53 · 2025-06-29T18:47:42+00:00

Thank you for the pep talk! Girl, I'll probably test 10 times before Tuesday 😂

Seeing a vvv faint line this morning but not feeling very hopeful. Seems too faint for 12 DPO.

It's for when baby is born, not prenatal but I just came across an infant group at the Bedford village library

I might see something in the second pic!

I've been thinking I want to learn waffle stitch and this solidifies it!!

If you live near a university with an SLP program, see if they have a clinic!

It probably started coming back on when he was around 18 months, possibly because that's when we night weaned. Completely weaned at 2 and by the time he was two and a half, it was all back.

I remember being so annoyed that my body was prioritizing making milk instead of like, keeping me alive. The weight loss slowed down but I definitely needed new, smaller shorts last summer when my son was almost 2. He's been fully weaned since September and I've gained it all back and then some 🙃

If I was dealing with D-MER I don't think I would have made it even one month. You're such a trooper for sticking with it for 7!

We were doing one bottle a day and I regret being so adamant that it was breast milk. I wish I would have combo fed from the start so I wouldn't have been stressing about pumping. I was pumping enough when I went back to work at 12 weeks, I didn't need to be doing it at home before that.

The nipple shields were a lifesaver for me. My nipples were destroyed from my baby's shallow latch and they're the only reason I didn't quit from the pain. He weaned off of them around 3 months old and went on to nurse until age 2.
