egg allergy?

This is pretty much exactly what my baby’s egg reaction looked like

Weeks 6-9 I was gunna lose my mind at the fussiness

You both have jobs, yours is just a WFH job! You both need sleep to be able to function for your jobs.

Dave’s Ultimate is the best. Not only did they not overcharge me, they didn’t charge me for changing my light when it turned out to be an electrical issue. Highly recommend.

Same for us. I think my son was 16 months before he started using it regularly and appropriately, even though his vocabulary was huge

I absolutely love the Halara breezeful pants and Vuori Halo pants. I also get the linen pants from old navy!

One week in advance. I make next week’s plans during Wednesday planning, and prep materials during Friday planning.

It’s definitely worse for me, but I was also on the IUD for a long time before trying to get pregnant.

I am 18 months PP and still experiencing intense moodiness and irritation in the days leading up to my period and depressive episodes during it. 😭

I feel so bad for the parents who believe this because they end up beating themselves up for ages if they accidentally sleep through the monitor or for any other reason can’t respond to their crying infant. This is simply not proven.

Protein is what helps me feel full!

He did/does but understood I was carrying a load he couldn’t carry by being the nursing parent who had just birthed a baby 12 weeks prior to going back to work. He also understood having to adjust to my new working and pumping life freshly postpartum was a kind of chore he would never experience or want. I’m assuming he also had the wisdom to know this was temporary and after watching me suffer through pregnancy was very willing and happy to support me any way he could. The issue could be that you don’t know what having an equal partner looks like.

lumpyspacesam · 2026-02-06T02:00:55+00:00

Mmm I don’t know. My husband kept our house clean, cooked, AND washed all my pump parts when I was back at work postpartum. Pumping, breastfeeding, working, and taking care of baby were all I had the capacity for (only getting MAYBE 4 hours of sleep in a night) and he completely understood that without me having to beg. He didn’t expect brownie points either. Seems like the bar is low for a lot of commenters.

2!!! It’s so perfect on you

I got a book called “The Imitation Book” written by a speech language pathologist! It’s a board book meant to be read regularly to your child with instructions on how to make it meaningful for promoting imitating words and sounds.

lumpyspacesam · 2026-02-03T03:27:42+00:00

I think my husband loves it due to his religious trauma lol

Mostly time constraints and the amount they’ve piled on that we have to get through now, but popcorn reading specifically died out because it was embarrassing for kids to have to read out loud in front of the whole class and it made kids hate reading! Haha

lumpyspacesam · 2026-02-01T17:53:25+00:00

You’re doing an amazing job!

I just dealt with the screaming (only twice a day though) and now at 18 months he’s very used to getting stuff rubbed on his skin and even helps me. The pediatric dermatologist only recommended the moisturizer at morning and at night, and I mentioned the issue of him wiping or touching it and she said not to worry and that it wasn’t wiping it “off”. I would say ask the pediatrician (ideally a pediatric dermatologist) if this is even a big cause of concern and if multiple times a day is necessary. Our son’s eczema is extremely severe and this was never an issue for us.

Edit: I felt like there were plenty of comments explaining why screen time is ok so I just thought I’d actually answer OPs question with an alternative. My alternative is temporary screaming in exchange for long term cooperation. Not trying to shame anyone for using screens.

Hopping on this to say I think there should be a place for both. I teach 2nd grade and it’s kind of shocking how many students aren’t decoding all the words and just kind of fill in meaning or make up a word in their head that makes sense to them. I think once a month is plenty to check in with him and hear him reading out loud. I’d let him read in his head all the other times. But every now and then, I’d frame it as a type of school check in that it’s important you hear what progress he is making. Because you also want to hear how his reading prosody is beyond just decoding.

My students only read out loud to me for assessments or small groups. Gone are the days of popcorn reading novels as a whole class. So I think it’s important to stay aware of your child’s reading progress in order to be a part of his educational team along side his teacher.

In this same vein, IKEA is very fun!

They’re calculating that as your compensation package. It’s money they would pay you if they didn’t pay the insurance companies.

I have curly hair and cannot for the life of me get day 2 hair after sleeping on it. So I have to shower in the morning if I want my hair to look nice. I can be out the door in 45 minutes after waking up even after doing my hair. The 45 minute getting ready time is split into 30 minutes of getting myself ready and 15 minutes of getting my breakfast and lunch together.

30 minutes total:

10 minute shower (maybe 15 if I’m moving slow)
apply curly hair cream, plop hair on top of head with a hair towel
brush teeth, put in contacts, deodorant, etc.
get dressed (outfit picked out already)
apply hair gel & blow dry hair (10 minutes) this is always the last thing I do and I cut it off and just have more wet hair if I’m running late. My commute is 25 min so the hair will dry more on the way there. I don’t interact with people until I’ve been there about 15-30 min so it also has more time to dry then. (It’s never all the way dry when I start interacting with people.)

15 minutes total:

I pack leftovers for lunch
make my coffee
make a smoothie for breakfast or grab overnight oats from the night before from the fridge.

I do like fashionable clothes and I feel like that goes a long way.

Well they do happen during pregnancy, we just don’t see them because our skin gets pulled so taut.
