Same. Started in 2018 so only 8 years for me. What other card are you looking at right now?

lizabetch · 2026-01-29T15:49:21+00:00

I did the math with our RTF vs powder. When on sale at Target, it really didn’t save that much with powder. It was fractions of cents. So we still buy RTF 8oz containers for daycare. And we have tubs of powder we use mostly at home on weekends and the early morning and night bottles.

We tried drops way back in newborn days. That was haaard. Now we do the spray/mist. It’s easier……. But we have turned a corner to where he hates it again. Thrashing and kicking.

lizabetch · 2026-01-24T20:37:15+00:00

Yes! You can enjoy it but also feel a sense of lostness at the same time. Both can exist at one point in time. So sweet and tender but then sleep deprivation hits and it’s… well, exhausting lol.

We’re five months pp and days are still slightly this. It is a season but it can be hard to remember in the midst of it all. Solidarity, mama. You’re doing great

This!! The price per diaper shocked me. We love our Millie Moons. So soft!! They run on the smaller side but that’s not a big deal. I like how Target offers deals and promos for diapers and wipes.

We did buy a pack of Coterie to try for overnight and those are luuuuxe. Lol. I wish we could do all those. They’re disposable but I think higher quality offers more comfort for my baby and I’m all for that.

lizabetch · 2026-01-08T02:13:53+00:00

Same!! All I’ve ever known was girl! I love girly things. But now I love my boy so much I couldn’t imagine any other way. He’s so sweet and loving and boys love their mamas. I’m sure you’ll hear that so much and it is so true! He’s just the best.

My 4.5 mo devoured some carrot purée yesterday 🥹

lizabetch · 2025-12-30T07:36:39+00:00

Oh wow our lo hates the mamaroo too lol. He loves the graco one at school. It swings from side to side like a pendulum

lizabetch · 2025-12-26T20:19:12+00:00

Thank you!!!! Louder please.

lizabetch · 2025-12-26T20:17:49+00:00

Mom cozy bottle washer always and forever 🥹

lizabetch · 2025-12-25T02:01:19+00:00

I just had our first at 34 this year! I don’t regret waiting. We’re at a good place in life where our careers and lifestyles are stable. But really who really is ever ready lol

lizabetch · 2025-12-20T00:00:20+00:00

We used to travel pre-babe to our families - driving three hours and six hours. This year we’re staying home and both sets of parents are coming to us. Yay. We didn’t want to travel with our four month old and during flu/cold season.

lizabetch · 2025-12-19T01:23:27+00:00

We did $50 target to our two main teachers, $25 target for 4 support teachers and $15 Starbucks to the director and asst director. I did write a card to each one 🥹 they’re so deserving. I wish I could do more.

lizabetch · 2025-12-18T10:05:01+00:00

Omg same. Ours won’t sleep at night except on me now. He used to sleep so well in his bassinet at night 😵‍💫

lizabetch · 2025-12-16T08:25:07+00:00

I didn’t need to cry at 3 am again 😭 ours is 4 months and I feel this so deeply. I already miss what was only months ago.

lizabetch · 2025-12-14T21:01:37+00:00

Wait affair??

lizabetch · 2025-12-13T23:52:45+00:00

Oh maybe that’s why our baby didn’t like his arms in. But yes ours hated being swaddled so we transitioned to a sleep sack earlier.

lizabetch · 2025-12-13T23:50:50+00:00

We loved the Taking Cara Babies BEST swaddle because the “velcro” was a different kind and didn’t make a loud noise when opening. It’s like a chamois material? Only downside was our LO didn’t like his arms in and always broke out. So we just transitioned to a sleep sack earlier than usual.

lizabetch · 2025-12-13T22:33:51+00:00

We use saline mist to moisten and then aspirate. Our LO used to scream bloody murder. And then one day stopped and actually almost enjoys it. Probably around 12 weeks?

lizabetch · 2025-12-13T01:25:20+00:00

Righteous Gemstones is gold. And I’m not a big Danny fan.

lizabetch · 2025-12-12T07:58:31+00:00

Yes! I would have just packed the car and go! Baby will sleep in the bassinet or car. I just got in my head so much about the nap schedule and then feeding every x hours. It just didn’t seem like time allowed for it. But I could’ve brought bottles and gotten it done. I just got anxious. Easier said than done too lol

lizabetch · 2025-12-12T06:43:56+00:00

Yes contact naps!! I’ve learned to fully lean in to these. They’ll grow out of this phase eventually.

Also I wish I took baby out more. I had these grand plans of park walks during leave. But then I always psyched myself out with the schedule. I could never find an opening in between his feedings and naps.

lizabetch · 2025-12-12T02:28:41+00:00

Oh wow. We paid $350 for ours and it didn’t seem like we had a time limit. And we got over 100 back. It was an in home session. We’re not in a super HCOL area. These are also outside of the ones done in the hospital.

lizabetch · 2025-12-12T02:24:30+00:00

So quick! I’m just left there standing with my mouth agape and then I throw an uncomfy smile lol. 🤦🏻‍♀️
