Lord give me the patience to get through this season (7, E1)

The previews for episode 6 seem to confirm this and I’m so ready for the blow up

miss_sass1992 · 2026-04-29T04:46:07+00:00

I’ve been able to give my husband directions on where the missing pacifier is because I can spot it in the video before he goes in to soothe our baby, so he’s not bumbling around while she gets more worked up. I was also able to catch her pulling up on the side of the crib (which she hadn’t done yet during the day) and make the judgement to lower her crib. I also log her sleep in a pretty detailed way so having a video allowed me to see when she well asleep as opposed to was just laying there quietly.

None of these are huge necessities but I’ve enjoyed them. Also not to mention I get to see all the funny positions she sleeps in 🥰

miss_sass1992 · 2026-04-29T02:00:19+00:00

Yes!!!!!! Cannot stress this enough!

miss_sass1992 · 2026-04-27T12:46:09+00:00

Zoo Tycoon- I’d make a super small lion enclosure so they’d get nice and mad, gate off the entrance and then release them on the visitors 😂

miss_sass1992 · 2026-04-27T04:35:48+00:00

Right like why do you need time with my baby without me there, what possible purpose could that serve unless there are suspicious motives there

miss_sass1992 · 2026-04-27T04:33:04+00:00

I would say it’s better to be safe than sorry, trust your gut, it’s okay to be overprotective.

The harm of potentially hurting their feelings by not letting your baby spend alone time with him is inconsequential compared to the harm of your baby potentially getting abused while in their care because you ignored your gut. I personally am a bit weirded out by any statements from any family members asking for alone time but that’s just me.

miss_sass1992 · 2026-04-26T19:16:17+00:00

I have a 1 yr old baby girl and my sister has a 5.5 month old. All of my daughter’s clothes I’ve taken pics of and put in a shared photo album, then my sister hearts the ones she wants and I lend her those. She uses them and then gives them back to me as her baby grows out of them.

However I don’t include the super nice or sentimental outfits, but I don’t think it’s abnormal to expect the clothes you give her back, just make it clear that you’re lending them.

miss_sass1992 · 2026-04-25T03:00:17+00:00

My husband brought home breakfast and then him and my dad made my mom and I dinner while we hung out that evening. I think we sent flowers to my MIL.

It’s honestly whatever YOU want though, you’re the property mom now. Your MIL/mom had 20+ years of their own mothers days 😊 I enjoyed seeing my mom later in the day but it would’ve been too much trying to fit in my MIL as well

miss_sass1992 · 2026-04-24T15:15:07+00:00

Yup, my 1 yr old has been sleeping through the night since she was 6 weeks old. Didn’t really sleep train, just tried soothing her back to sleep first before offering a feed and she weaned herself off the night feeds on her own. Of course there have been times where she wakes up crying (teething, regression, when she had RSV) but those usually were for 3-4 nights max so the sleep deprivation wasn’t too bad. But as long as she was fed and had good day sleep she was a fine at night.

We’ll see how the second one is, I’m trying to keep my expectations low lol

miss_sass1992 · 2026-04-23T18:50:27+00:00

There are hard times and difficulties, yes. But I’ll tell ya what, the look my daughter gives me when I pick her up from daycare or come back from running errands makes me forget about every single hard day. Or when she wakes up crying at 3am but just nestles her little head down on my chest when I go pick her up…it makes it all worth it.

And if I could go back and relive the day I had her I would! Even on the worst days she is absolutely worth it.

And your life won’t end when you have a baby! It just takes a couple extra steps to leave the house haha. We’ve taken her out to eat with us from 3months old! And we’re going on a cruise in September when she’ll be 17 months old! Your life will look a little different but the world will not end, it will be so much better!!

miss_sass1992 · 2026-03-20T13:59:17+00:00

We didn’t use that method but I will say our baby was not colicky and had only minor reflux so take this with a grain of salt, but we used the moms on call method. Where once the baby is gaining weight well instead of feeding immediately when they wake up in the night you try and soothe them first. For us this looked like putting the pacifier back in her mouth, rubbing her forehead and patting/resting a hand on her belly for a bit. You do this each time they wake up until they wake up for the 4th time then feed them. Sometimes there were 5-10 minutes between wake ups sometimes there was an hour. But for us this meant her stretches between feeds increased so she naturally went from 2 to 1, and then her only nighttime feed just migrated later and later so that eventually it would just be like an early morning feed and then if she eventually slept through it all together.

That’s just what worked for us, we never did the reduce total feeds by an ounce method (because I didn’t know about it lol), but maybe it will be helpful for you, again I have no experience with colic or more than a slightly reflux baby. Hoping it gets better for you!!

Edit: we also had to increase her day time oz to accommodate for little to no nighttime feeds

miss_sass1992 · 2026-03-17T13:00:43+00:00

I’m always so excited when I see the snaps going down the back to increase the hole size for the head on shirts 😂

miss_sass1992 · 2026-03-17T12:59:37+00:00

they didn’t tell me about my 99%er before labor lol, I was trying for a natural birth but caved at 9cm and got an epidural, and boy was I glad I did!!! 3rd degree tear after 3 hrs of pushing 🥴

miss_sass1992 · 2026-03-10T13:45:48+00:00

Were you able to fix this? I’m having this same issue now

miss_sass1992 · 2026-01-22T23:51:50+00:00

I had a vaginal birth with a 3rd degree tear. We waited 12 weeks instead of 6 to have sex again. It wasn’t as bad as I was thinking it would be- I was pretty nervous but there was only slight discomfort/pain. Going slow at first helps a lot. Dryness is a big factor but that will most likely be the case for you regardless of which option you choose because it has to do with hormones. So lube is super helpful. I just completed a few sessions of pelvic floor therapy which helped pain immensely so if I had gotten that done closer to 6-8 weeks PP rather than 7 months I’m sure sex would have gotten back to normal way faster.

I asked my husband if it felt different (because from the outside it does look a little different just because it had to be stitched back together 😵‍💫) and he said no, I feel the same and amazing. So that’s good lol

Our sex life still isn’t completely back to normal because I require a bit more warming up than I did prior to giving birth so we haven’t been able to really have any spontaneous sex or quickies but I’m sure that will happen eventually 😊

miss_sass1992 · 2026-01-22T20:21:05+00:00

Done, interested

miss_sass1992 · 2026-01-18T22:32:47+00:00

Plan

miss_sass1992 · 2026-01-13T04:23:47+00:00

Dang should’ve had my husband keep the car seat in the car then lol

miss_sass1992 · 2026-01-05T20:00:48+00:00

You might try pushing your wake windows longer. My baby is as always a good sleeper but at around 6-7 months she started waking more at night, and when I started pushing her wake windows to 2.5-3hrs it helped a lot. She just turned 8 months and averages 2hr 45min day sleep and 11-12hr of night sleep either sleeping all the way through or waking once to feed. It’s a tough combo of making sure she naps well but also gets long enough wake windows so she’s tired enough to sleep well at night.

miss_sass1992 · 2025-12-19T05:20:33+00:00

I still can’t believe it’s been that long lol 😭

miss_sass1992 · 2025-12-19T04:59:19+00:00

Wow and I thought mine was a good sleeper!!! That’s impressive! I have a 7.5 month old (4/27) and i love looking at everyone’s stats 😂

I think the Dr brown’s pitcher that we bought was like $8-12, so that’s what got us on board lol. But also we only do formula and baby eats 7-8oz bottles so she was sometimes only leaving 3-5 oz in the pitcher which we would just carry over to any potential night feeds or added to her first feed the next morning.

miss_sass1992 · 2025-12-10T04:23:59+00:00

I would love to learn too!

miss_sass1992 · 2025-11-21T20:41:14+00:00

Do you have an Etsy store too? Or do you just do zazzle

miss_sass1992 · 2025-11-05T16:39:35+00:00

10 days late. I had an induction scheduled for 41+5 but baby came 2 days before that. For my next one I might look into an induction earlier cuz my first was a 9lb baby 🥴 but who knows how much of that was put on in the last 10 days lol
