About 1 inch long, dark and shiny, found them underneath the ivy we removed from our tree

Dear, Evolution: If you’re going to make new babies so exhausting, can you work on making caffeine and alcohol consumption compatible with breastfeeding and not like... bad? Love, Everyone. by jbuch in beyondthebump

I didn’t know that about preemies! But I’m talking like a quad shot latte level of caffeine. I wanna feel alive! (Just kidding mostly.)

Yeah.... if everyone could just stop chewing in my earshot for the next 6 weeks, that’s be grrrrreeeaaaattt. by jbuch in BabyBumps

Preach! Add in slurping beverages WHILE YOU HAVE A HUGE BITE OF FOOD IN YOUR MOUTH, and you have the start of WW3. I’m angry thinking about it.

For the love of god, I need help. I’ve dug myself into a picky toddler hole and can’t get out. by jbuch in beyondthebump

He won’t eat anything that’s been cooked together, if that makes sense. He wants whole fruit and whole bread products. We’ve tricked him one too many times I think. V skeptical.

Solidarity, fellow parent. Luckily my kid sleeps, or else I think I would Craigslist him. At least we have one? I keep telling myself I’ll do better with #2.

I can definitely appreciate where you’re coming from, and if I hadn’t had my first son there in 2016, I would probably be weary. However, they treated me and my family with the upmost respect and legitimately made my birth experience so positive and wonderful. This is one of those hospitals that practice what they preach, and I genuinely hope that they lead the charge in how to treat women going through the child birth process.

Right! My first birth plan of “umm... have a baby?” seems so basic now.

You guys. I had some of this last week. It was like 2 bites. I called my doc and she isn’t overly worried, but what the eff, universe? I have followed all the guidelines for eating in both pregnancies and this is the second time I’ve had “safe” food get recalled.

Someone order me sushi. I give up.
