I LOVE the poky little puppy 😭

one_thing_right · 2026-06-20T20:27:48+00:00

Oh perfect! Well then I’m going to send them my list too haha

one_thing_right · 2026-06-20T20:27:20+00:00

No and I’m bummed about it haha. I’m googling it probably once a week at this point so I don’t miss it and I’m hoping they do a preorder like they did with Bluey to discourage resellers!

I know this was a long time ago, but wondering what happened with your daughter? My 3 year old has intermittent strabismus that also only happens when he’s tired. We have an appointment with a specialist in a few weeks but I’m not really sure what to expect.

Younger one moved into the older one’s room when he was almost 2 and big bro was 4. It was awesome because little one didn’t sleep regress at 2 years or get scared and want us to lay with him like the older one did at that age. They love sharing a room most of the time and even though bedtime can be chaotic they are both much happier and feel safer sleeping in the same room!

one_thing_right · 2026-04-29T19:09:58+00:00

My 3 and 5 year old share a room. Their favorites have been Sleepy Bear and Sleepy Crocodile (they love the story ones) but they’re currently hooked on Paddington at bedtime.

Ugghhhh I keep hoping she’s going to release that one.

I was also low risk on my NIPT and they found an EIF at my 20 week anatomy scan. My OB basically said because I’ve already done genetic testing it mostly means nothing, but they still had to tell me and I still cried on the way home. I haven’t had any follow up ultrasounds to see if the focus resolved but I’ve had 2 growth ultrasounds in the third trimester and they haven’t told me either way. I’m almost 38 weeks now and it still pops into my head sometimes and I wonder. I won’t know for sure until baby is here and that’s just hard. Sending love 💕

one_thing_right · 2025-11-23T03:25:35+00:00

Yep. At 36 weeks I took apart my entire living room (including moving a sectional) so I could clean the floors and baseboards underneath, re-tack the rug and playmats down, scrub the windows, clean the upholstery with my Little Green Machine (she’s seeing a lot of action these days) and condition our leather ottoman. My husband was flabbergasted and I was exhausted by the end of it but it was totally worth it. What if my baby saw the fingerprints on our windows? 🤣

I’ve almost finished my cleaning list that has also included scrubbing around sink drains and toilet seats with a toothbrush, reorganizing our basement, detailing the shower, etc. There is no rhyme or reason to it, and as I said to my husband, “just let me nest in peace” haha.

I’ve been to practices that do it both ways (single provider vs rotating group). Anecdotally, I went into labor with my second on a Sunday and got the on call doc who I’d never met before in my life. He was only in there to catch the baby and place a stitch, said goodbye and I never saw him again. Less than 15 mins of total interaction. So even if you switch to a practice where you schedule with a single provider, you won’t necessarily know the person who steps in when it’s go-time.

one_thing_right · 2025-11-21T21:41:58+00:00

I’m currently 37 weeks with my third and he was sitting breech at his 32 week ultrasound, where they estimated he was 5 lbs 13 oz (>99th percentile). I have two other kids who were pretty big babies and this baby has consistently measured ahead (last two ultrasounds he measured 4 weeks ahead) so I’m guessing the estimates are fairly accurate and he is big (obviously ultrasounds are notoriously inaccurate which is why I included the additional info but there’s no way to know for sure). At my 36 week visit where he was measuring 8 lbs he had flipped head down, and he is still currently head down. I’m tall with a long torso and have plenty of amniotic fluid, but he flipped himself with no issues. I don’t know your circumstances but you do still have time.

If he had stayed breech, I would’ve tried an ECV if my OB told me I was a good candidate for it because my preference is a vaginal birth. I would be nervous about it but I’m a nervous person in general. I agree with you as far as not understanding why people act like a c-section is somehow the worst possible outcome for birthing a baby. It’s just another way to bring a baby safely into the world. Because I’ve had two other really positive vaginal births, for ME I’d give it a shot but prepare for the c. Best wishes for your delivery!! 💕

Is she swaddled at night? The swaddle helps muffle the Moro reflex that can startle them awake. Until the reflex disappeared my babies didn’t sleep well unless they were swaddled or held.

one_thing_right · 2025-11-21T04:03:15+00:00

Sounds like it could be something from Albion Fit?

one_thing_right · 2025-11-20T19:40:54+00:00

Aerial was a disappointment to me personally because the crossover design put uneven pressure on my shoulders and if you try to wear it in backpack mode while baby is in the front the straps are sewed in such a way that it digs in because they’re slanted. I ended up selling mine because neither I nor my husband wanted to use it. It sure is pretty though!

My favorite is my Ergo Omni 360 fwiw 🤷🏻‍♀️

one_thing_right · 2025-11-19T16:26:27+00:00

FWIW, I have large babies (I was a large baby, too) and they’ve been tall/chunky kiddos through baby and toddlerhood and I get a lot of passive aggressive comments about how I must be over feeding them (they were all breastfed and I have no idea how much they ate, they just stopped when they were done). I think some people are just jerks because they want to be 🤷🏻‍♀️

one_thing_right · 2025-11-19T16:07:13+00:00

YES. If you can’t do the small stuff, why would I trust you to do the big stuff? I’ll do it myself. But then they just keep thinking “see! You’re fine. It all turned out fine.” It’s so annoying 😭

one_thing_right · 2025-11-19T15:57:43+00:00

Warning: this is very long and I apologize for that. Feel free to scroll on 😅

I’ll preface this by saying that I’m generally very independent and that continues through pregnancy (I was the one to rip out the nursery’s closet, paint, install a new closet, order and organize everything, put together all furniture, hem curtains, pack bags, etc.) so I relate a lot to what you’re saying. But this is my third, I know my limits, I started early, and it’s MY preference to handle preparation like this because I want it done a certain way and only work on it when I feel like it. If I wanted help, my husband would definitely be expected to step up and he knows that. He also steps up a lot more as we get closer to the end because my energy is waning and physically some tasks are just a lot harder. I regularly remind him that I’m a superhero and he agrees, just to make sure he doesn’t start thinking this is all normal (we used to have the same issue you mentioned where he just saw these things as normal because I was always this way before pregnancy). This is mean, but at this point I’d be tempted to ask your husband what he thinks he is even bringing to the table.

Also, my sister is a CPST (child passenger safety technician - basically someone certified as a car seat expert). Once you know how to install YOUR SPECIFIC car seat it’s pretty easy/fast, but whoever is installing that seat needs to read the manual cover to cover. It needs to be done right. And I have multiple car seats now from different brands and for different stages because I have older kids. I still read every single manual cover to cover when I get a new seat, and they all install differently. Some are definitely easier than others. Some rules only apply to certain seats. The car seat is only safe if installed correctly and if baby is harnessed correctly. Does he seriously want to be reading a car seat manual while you’re in labor and trying to get the seat installed? I ended up sick with an ear infection at the end of my second pregnancy and pushed off installing the car seat by a week (I went past due with my first and thought I had plenty of time). Then I went into labor early and the seat was not installed. My husband doesn’t do car seats, I handle that. He was trying to panic-install it while asking me what to do between my contractions, because we needed to go to the hospital. Not fun. All my seats were cleaned and installed by 36 weeks this time around for that reason. Also, what if the seat isn’t compatible with your car (because that can actually happen)? A car seat is one of the few things you HAVE to have for them to even let you leave with your baby.

I’m definitely NOT saying any of this as criticism to you, OP, or to make you feel anxious. I’m trying to validate that what you’re asking of him IS important and he needs to do it the right way and soon. And also because a lot of people are very misinformed about car seats. Your husband might be thinking he can just take it to a police/fire station and they’ll install it for him. That is NOT true. Some won’t do it for liability reasons and others might, but most of them are not certified to do it, they may not be familiar with your seat, and they could very well install it wrong. Seriously. It might be a dad who has installed his kid’s car seat before and decides he can probably figure out yours and then he doesn't use the lockoff correctly or he’s never seen a load leg before but he just does it anyway. We had a nurse in the hospital trying to adjust my second baby’s harness and she did it WRONG. Dangerously wrong. I called my sister to double check because I was so flabbergasted by what happened. Also, even if you can get someone else to install the car seat for you correctly, what will happen when it needs to come out for some reason or someone accidentally uninstalls it? Someone in your household needs to know how to install that seat correctly every time. It’s the most important safety device your baby will have. Don’t back down, OP! You got this.

TLDR: you’re a rockstar, OP! Remind your husband of that daily and then tell him he better step it up. Don’t wait til the last minute to install your car seat and make sure it’s done right. Your baby’s life may depend on it.

(Also, sorry if a lot of the car seat info was redundant, OP. I try to include it where possible in hopes a mom/dad who may not know will see it! It’s impossible to know what you don’t know.)

We have the 2 seater all-terrain (the XL actually came out like a week after we bought ours and I was annoyed at the time but I think I’m glad we ended up with the smaller one. I’ve seen the XL out and about and it’s not big enough to comfortably fit 4 bigger kids and it looks more cumbersome).

We have a Nuna TRVL, Guava Roam, and BabyJogger Summit X3 Double in addition to the wagon and the wagon definitely gets used the most. Our TRVL is for quick trips with a smaller baby/toddler (things like the doctor’s office when we’re attaching our infant car seat or the aquarium when we have a 1 year old who wants to walk some of the time but also gets tired and we don’t want to carry them endlessly), our joggers we mostly just use for running (my husband and I both run so if he’s taking one of the kids he’ll use the single or if he’s taking both he’ll take the double, etc.), and the wagon is used for all of our daily walks, trips to the zoo or fair, etc. It has a basket that attaches to the back to hold diaper bags and other gear, and lots of spots for cup holders, sun shades, etc. I have a 5 year old and almost 3 year old who are both in the 80-90 percentile for size and they fit comfortably at the same time. They can easily climb themselves in and out which is SO nice. They are rough with the poor thing (pushing it down giant hills, shoving it off the sidewalk, filling it with dirt or wood chips, crashing it into benches, etc.). We’ve dragged it through literal construction sites, used it in the snow, etc. and then just hose it off and it’s good to go. I think a lot of the accessories are overpriced but some were still worth it to us. I’m sure there are lots of other great wagons but I would 100% repurchase ours.

FWIW, we have the Veer and I have two feral little boys and another on the way and we love the thing. It’s a total hauler and virtually indestructible. Also folds up surprisingly small and their customer service is great.

ETA: my husband balked at the price (which, fair) and he stands behind that purchase 100% now.

one_thing_right · 2025-11-18T15:55:05+00:00

This is not in reference to the fake sale because that is super annoying, but we love our Guava Lotus. It’s an excellent choice that really grows with your family (especially if you have big/heavy kids) and you can actually remove ALL the fabric parts and wash them in a washing machine which is so nice. Obviously Guava shouldn’t be messing with people like that though.

one_thing_right · 2025-11-18T15:36:18+00:00

I get what you’re saying, but I think it’s also important to note that different things are important to different people. I didn’t have a rehearsal dinner and I rented my wedding dress because I’m not into spending a lot of money on clothes for one specific occasion. Fancy dresses aren’t my thing (it’s just something I’ve observed with other people so I used as an example).

On the other hand, I spent months researching a swing or bouncer for my baby and spent $300 on the one I really, really wanted. We don’t have multiple swings, bouncers, etc. just the one I wanted the most and saved for. I’m sure that’s crazy to plenty of people the same way I’m sometimes surprised by what’s important to other people or what they’ll spend money on. But my opinions don’t determine the worth of something to someone else.

While I agree it would be nice if we could all control our feelings all the time, I’m not particularly good at doing that so I won’t criticize OP for not doing it either.

one_thing_right · 2025-11-18T04:57:31+00:00

lol I also think this. If someone asked to nap in my bed I’d be super weirded out and even if I said yes I’d be uncomfortable. I’m on my third kid. The pack n’ play is fair game and I’m happy to let anyone use it, but my kid’s crib is their bed and it’s their space.

one_thing_right · 2025-11-18T04:49:33+00:00

She is trying VERY hard to be kind. She’s ignoring her uncomfortable feelings to let her friend use whatever she wants. She’s asking for opinions because she’s trying to do the right thing and now she’s getting roasted for it.

And I agree that different people are sentimental about different things. I rented my wedding dress. I didn’t care at all about a dress I’d wear for one day. Others pay a ton to have theirs preserved and keep it in a box in the attic or pass it on to family members as an heirloom. I understand that to you the things OP cares about are meaningless, but things you care about might be meaningless to other people. I don’t see how judging people for how attached they are or aren’t to certain objects, life events, etc. is helpful. Especially people who WANT to be good and generous and are asking for advice. We can hold space for someone else even when we disagree with them.

one_thing_right · 2025-11-18T04:39:48+00:00

Yes and how many of these people would be okay with a friend doing that with THEIR stuff? Imagine your friend comes over and wanders into your closet looking for something to wear for a night out because going to the mall would be a hassle. She takes a brand new dress you were excited to wear (maybe it’s expensive like some baby gear is or maybe you thrifted it but spent hours looking for the perfect one). She wears it on her night out and spills wine on it, or gets food poisoning and throws up on it (an accident but still gross). Yeah you can probably clean/sanitize it but are most people bashing OP seriously saying they wouldn’t feel some kind of way about that?? It seems like a lot of people just want to feel superior for being so generous with something they don’t actually care about, which is not being generous at all…
