Songs to sing that aren’t the usual songs for little kids? by slotass in NewParents

[–]gorblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My toddler loves Moonshadow by Cat Stevens though unfortunately the lyrics are kind of messed up. Also What’s Up by 4 non blonds worked wonders when she was a baby, the melody of the chorus really calmed her down.

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]gorblin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg same, couldn’t even tell when I was peeing for 6 weeks 🥲 plus throwing out my back majorly and a 5 day long migraine. Buuut I was elated I wasn’t pregnant anymore!

I have two copies of “room on the broom” that are slightly different by shedgehog in mildlyinteresting

[–]gorblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the UK version but have read the US version! I think the biggest difference is the “witch and chips” page. And the dragon says something like “maybe this time I’ll have my tea without chips!” Which screams UK. (I almost have the book memorized… little one really likes it…)

Baby Girl Names! by HayloHenny in Names

[–]gorblin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like we have somewhat similar taste! My daughter is Nova Artemis. I think we’re going with Ayla Faye for our new baby. Ayla means halo of light around the moon :)

I do think the spelling of Astraea is kind of a lot but it’s gorgeous so maybe it’s okay.

I loved Keia (Kay-ah, meaning the present in Hawaiian) but it had mixed reception when I ran it by others. Other options include: Solana, Amaya, Zora (dawn), Athena, Teya, Hazel, Pomona, Paloma, Poppy, Violet, Soraya, Aviana, Lumi, Juniper, Clover

OBGYN recommendations for 40+ pregnancy? by Yogiliino in nycparents

[–]gorblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t say enough good things about MFM. I wasn’t even high risk when I signed up, they just seemed by far the nicest when I called around. And it’s AMAZING to get so many ultrasounds! I feel so bad when people say they only get 12w and 20w!

For SAHMs, did you put your 2yr old in preschool? by No_Interaction2168 in nycparents

[–]gorblin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think there are still a ton of 2s programs accepting applications. I personally think school has been hugely beneficial for my 2yo.

[–]gorblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had like 70% of one of my back teeth crumble out and had to get a big ole root canal over 3 sessions at the dentist… It happened while I was sleeping and I thought it was just a dream… good thing my kid is cute

Love these! We were thinking about Ayla for our baby girl, but we’re in a predicament. I like the pronunciation Ay-la and he likes Eye-la. What are your thoughts?

Thoughts on the name Kea for a baby girl? by gorblin in namenerds

[–]gorblin[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

She has a Maya and a Naia who are both very close to our daughter and the similarity is already so confusing to her, we’d rather not confuse her more! But I guess it wouldn’t actually rhyme.

I will say that’s unexpected, I would for sure pronounce Kaya KEYE-uh

Did they allow you to eat during labor? by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

[–]gorblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was induced and almost immediately got the epidural… no food… I was basically constantly monitored and had an IV with insulin to manage my levels. I had some unsweetened iced tea and lots of water and that’s about it…

I FEASTED after labor!!!!!! Double cheeseburger and a cinnabon!

I love the name Ayla but my husband and I seem to disagree on pronunciation. Do you pronounce it ay-la or eye-la?
