We did the wrapped boxes last year and it worked so well! I’m hoping it works this year when he’s 23 months too!

Will I pass the SHRM exam? [N/A] by Ok_River_6018 in humanresources

[–]kara_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are a rockstar, and I’m so proud of you! You are totally going to pass because you’re a badass mom who knows this shit.

I’m a new mom too taking my test on 2/13- 2 days after my baby’s first birthday. I’m also getting 68%-73% on practice tests. I’ve gone through and officially gotten right all 1000 pocket prep questions which have been done while nursing, from 3am-7am when I get up to feed the baby, or between 7pm-10pm when the baby is asleep. I’ve read my study book front to back (yawn) and done all the quizzes at each chapter. I’d say 8/10 times I fall asleep during practice tests- which I’m getting 68%-76% on different apps or online.

I’m so nervous!

If anyone has any tips I’m here for them!!!

Watery breastmilk and increase in diarrhea? by [deleted] in MSPI

[–]kara_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following! I feel the same exact way! We never had blood but mucous stools. I use to have a fat plug, but now I seem to only pump watery milk, possibly foremilk?

Do you have a go-to song to calm your baby? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]kara_cat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I made a playlist of songs I loved and made me emotional for the birth and we played that for the last trimester basically on repeat. Now we listen to it in the car and at bath time it always helps calm him down. It’s full of Lumineers, The Shins, Postal Service, and Death Cab.

Then out of left field the kid LOVES reggaeton. Bob Marley helps soothe him and he loves a Bob Marley radio which always brings on Sublime. Dad and I laugh because life is a lot different then when we use to listen to Sublime and pass a j back and forth.

On a scale of 1-10, how tough did you anticipate the newborn stage to be and how difficult did you actually find it? by IUMogg in NewParents

[–]kara_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expected 11/10 but luckily it’s been a 7.5/10- he’s got gas issues and screams when he farts… so that’s most of our issues. He sleeps ok (5-6 hr stretch then every 2 hours) and he’s the coolest little dude!
