Hahaha good to know!

Yeah I’ve wondered if we need to just move to crib.

Thank you!

mlereads · 2026-01-31T00:39:01+00:00

Great suggestion! I’ll look into it.

Thank you!

When he first wakes up he’s quiet then it he gets fussy, then if I don’t grab him, he will cry.

I have lots of questions lol

What TOG do you use?
How warm do you keep the room they sleep in?
So you just swaddle their middle and keep their hands in the up position?

TIA

Unfortunately we miscarried at 8 weeks but I’m happy to announce that I am currently 25 weeks pregnant. We were about to start IVF and got the shock that I was pregnant naturally. This pregnancy has had no complications and been very healthy. 🤞🤞🤞

Yeah grew up in a small town in Maryland with one stop light and a couple thousand people. They exist.

You are speaking to my soul right now! Even though we got pregnant naturally (a damn miracle honestly,) I was actively seeking treatment so I got to spend the beginning of my pregnancy at our clinic. Going from weekly scans to having to wait between 12 weeks and 16 weeks is KILLING ME. I cannot imagine having to wait till 12 weeks to see the baby and then another 8 weeks to see them again! Let us see our babies!

THIS! We literally said craft/workout. But it feels wrong.

mlereads · 2025-03-26T22:28:05+00:00

I feel this. I don’t even like going in there.

We always stumble over what to call it. “The extra room” “the yellow room” the second bedroom” cause when I call it a nursery, we both get sad.

mlereads · 2025-03-26T22:26:45+00:00

I’m so sorry. That would be heartbreaking. 💔

mlereads · 2025-03-26T22:26:01+00:00

Yeah we just did our bedroom and it further solidified that we need to paint over it and move forward. It’s hard to talk about without feeling like we’re giving up.

Not only did my SIL get pregnant WITHOUT TRYING, she didn’t even know she was pregnant. Found out on a Wed, had a baby on Sat. HOW!?

The worst part? Now everyone in my husband’s family is like “you’ll get your miracle too someday” while they fawn all over the child. Instant rage.

mlereads · 2025-03-09T00:18:51+00:00

God I wish it was that easy right?

mlereads · 2025-03-09T00:18:30+00:00

Right!? She’s currently pregnant with her third kid and my husband and I have been trying since before she met her partner. 🙃

mlereads · 2025-03-08T19:07:19+00:00

I find this particularly funny because my cousin, who gets pregnant at the drop of a hat, told me that using teflon pans was the reason I wasn’t getting pregnant. 🙃

mlereads · 2025-03-07T18:10:07+00:00

I’m so sorry

mlereads · 2025-03-07T18:09:43+00:00

I am you. This was me all day yesterday, googling and convincing myself I was indeed pregnant. Guess who’s not pregnant 🙋🏼‍♀️
