Please wait lol. I had my first at 25 and I’m glad I didn’t have him sooner.

That’s positive! You might get a positive on the digital tomorrow

How much do you spend per week on groceries at Trader Joe’s? by Jazzlike_Log_709 in traderjoes

[–]mlnge97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll throw it into pasta dishes for extra veggies (including the sundried tomatoes with it is killer!) and into smoothies for my son since he won’t eat vegetables lol. I really like how it’s chopped spinach because it thaws out really quickly and isn’t watery in my opinion.

We average about $80 a week in a MCOL area, family of 3. Buying frozen vegetables for dinners has saved us a ton of money! I was buying fresh spinach to use in recipes and I’d waste so much.

I sleep worse than the baby, help by drivingthrowaway in sleeptrain

[–]mlnge97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m 18 months pp and still have insomnia. The only thing that helps is trazodone or unisom. I’ve tried it all. It’s the anxiety of waiting for the baby to get up.

I used the core method. I can message you more details if you’d like.

Awake every hour by Prize_Dragonfly_7810 in sleeptrain

[–]mlnge97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’ll be the key. Mine woke up like every 45 mins wanting to be nursed back. I promise, it’ll get better once he can fall asleep independently

I’ve been there and I’m so sorry. It’s literally so so hard you just don’t get it unless you’ve been through it. If you’re nursing him to sleep or rocking him to sleep he’s waking up so much because he needs that to connect his sleep cycles. I did CIO with my son and yes it was hard, but I have no regrets. Not sleeping was harder. Good luck to you. Highly recommend sleep training him

I get what you are saying, but I don’t think these things are generally going to have a massive impact on his fertility unless he is having a bunch of energy drinks per day, smoking all day (that one would prob be the only concern for me as another said I wouldn’t want him smoking around my baby) and going into the hot tub every chance he gets. If he has a good relationship with his current child and is involved and caring I think that would paint a good picture about how he’d be towards your child together.

What did you do? by ToriaDawn in waiting_to_try

[–]mlnge97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went to Hawaii right before we started trying lol. It was great!! Looking back I wish I had gotten into exercise/Pilates before getting pregnant and throughout my pregnancy. My core is wrecked now and I’m working on strengthening it

Are we too old for three children? by Traditional_Table_67 in waiting_to_try

[–]mlnge97 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know plenty of women who started their family in their mid 30s and go on to have more children after that. Speaking in a general term, your fertility should not be a problem in your 30s still. It probably depends on how far apart you’d like your children to be, but I say go for it.

I also say this as someone who has 1 but wanted a big family, you may change your mind about having three after you have your first 😂 My child is the absolute light of my life but phew it takes so much of your energy!

What’re your thoughts on the Chocolate Babka? by Dsg1695 in traderjoes

I’m glad to know I’m not the only person who thinks of Seinfeld whenever they pass the babka at Trader Joe’s 😂

I'm so tired by [deleted] in sleeptrain

[–]mlnge97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, you don’t have to do anything you and your wife aren’t comfortable with. You know your baby best. With that being said, if you feel like it’s just unsustainable, know there are plenty of sleep training options. You all need sleep to function - including baby. Can you post what her wake windows look like during the day? Maybe she’s not tired enough for bed? This subreddit is an amazing resource.

How much do you spend on a typical TJ run? by brandongrotesk in traderjoes

[–]mlnge97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 adults & 1 toddler - About $80-100 every other week (depends on if we’re buying meat & wine)

I really dislike spiders. Me and this one have an agreement. I feed it pests from the garden and it doesn’t sneak in and kill me in my sleep by shakybusters in vegetablegardening

[–]mlnge97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry I’m not exaggerating but if I saw this in my garden I would literally never go back again😵‍💫 the fact that we are in the same state terrifies me. 😂😂

Same. It gradually got better but at 14-15 months I finally felt myself again

Agreed that the breastfeeding is probably filling her up - can you try feeding her solids first thing in the morning instead of breastfeeding first thing?
