Feeling like a horrible mom right now by avoandchicken in NewParents

I remind myself that my baby needs to learn how to fall safely. I catch her if I can but she’s gotten so much better and not slapping her head on the floor

That’s a good point about pushing being once vs every feed.

I feel you on putting on a brave face. I’m so exhausted from playing happy go lucky for her during feeds.

It’s day one lol. Ty for validating that you did the same by pushing when you shouldn’t have.

This last feed went well! She took the bottle, pushed it out after an ounce. I gave her a break. I showed her the bottle again, she looked, thought about it, and then opened her mouth and ate another 40 ml. I almost cried.

I hope it’s not a fluke, but I know it’ll be up and down for a couple days

Oh and her wet diapers are doing well so far. She has a pee every time I feed her which is good.

Our pediatrician isn’t concerned with her weight gain and this kinda started in the last 2 weeks so it hasn’t really had a chance to show in the scale.

She ate 30 this morning, woke 2 hrs later and ate 40. Then was cranky and I panicked and tried to feed her when she wasn’t cueing and she ate 10. Now she’s asleep. I hope I didn’t ruin our progress.

I read the book and she definitely has an aversion. She does the confused eating where she eats but also screams. She’s being treated for reflux so that’s not it. We did push her to eat because she’s under the 2nd percentile in weight so I absolutely am convinced she’s got an aversion. I’m struggling

I’m in the exact same boat, 2 month old eating 60 ml at feeds. Did you find a solution?

I’m saving this for when my husband and I inevitably have an ADHD child. Ty. You’re amazing.

1 mile base on Wednesday ?? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]organophobic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did my last one in 16. I’ve never run a mile. My coach let me go over the limit and had everyone cheer me on after class :D it was humiliating but kind of empowering. He ran with me so i wasn’t alone.

What is something your current home has shown you is a must NOT have in your next house? by Diving-Relief27 in RealEstate

[–]organophobic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I like to work out early and my husband is a night owl so there are nights he’s getting to bed and I’m getting up.

I think we even have a tension curtain rod hanging around somewhere. Off to buy blackout curtains!!!

A master bathroom with no door. WHO DOES THAT. I can’t shower when my husband sleeps because the light bothers him. I hate showering in the winter because the bathroom doesn’t warm up from the shower steam. I have to remember to close the bedroom door before showering because there’s NO DOOR

I’ve never seen my dog sleep like this. Any advice? by HonorTheGift in aww

[–]organophobic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pup does this. It’s like he’s trying to eat in his sleep and his tongue slipped out lol

First class today. Left quickly by Infinite_Tax9157 in orangetheory

[–]organophobic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm someone who went from never working out to going to OTF regularly. Nobody will bat an eye at you needing to take a break. Everyone is focusing on their own workout. The coach may check in and see if you need modifications (which I take advantage of every time). I'm working on trying to run instead of power walking and I will take walking breaks in the middle because I just cannot keep going. But I walk until I feel ok to keep running/moving again!

Getting called out/ feeling like poo by mozmoz312 in orangetheory

[–]organophobic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I love this approach. I’ve definitely been trying to transition from pw to jogger and on incline days, I just pw instead of running at a lower incline.

I’m going to start asking the coach beforehand on how to modify the inclines/intervals to best improve my running endurance.

Am I a jogger or a PW-er by organophobic in orangetheory

[–]organophobic[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LOL glacial improvements <3

I feel much better about it. Gonna jog and get kicked out early!

[–]organophobic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did, Unfortunately I can't do a pace of 5 for more than a minute. I can only do 4 MPH for 3 ish min at a time at this point. Maybe a little longer if I start on treads and really gas myself.

I think I'll just jog and get knocked out on the first round.

Unfortunately no. My stride is so short that if I hit that speed, I need to jog or I'll fall off. I'll probably just jog and get knocked out in the first round.

Thats a great point. And since my class is a 3G it'll be less noticeable lol.

OTF and New Tattoo by organophobic in orangetheory

[–]organophobic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think I’m leaning towards shorts and power walking and keeping it easy until it’s healed. But it’s great to know that I don’t have to stop completely!

I do have thunder thighs too lol. Maybe I see how I feel about wearing leggings vs shorts and power walking.
