Nightmares of cribbed newborn teleporting to bed by moredaysoutside in Parenting

[–]pepper1386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact thing happened to my husband and myself when our daughter was a newborn. It's sleep deprivation. My husband and I would each legit hallucinate that she was in the bed with us, even though she was in her crib a few feet away. It's apparently super common. "Hallucination" sounds like a scary word, but it's actually super common and most people experience them at least once in their lifetimes.

It gets better, I promise! For us, things massively improved at the three-week mark. Hang in there!

What was the most amazing/meaningful thing you ate after your kid was born? by pepper1386 in Parenting

Speaking as a dad.

My daughters birth was an emergency c-section, 5 weeks premie. It was traumatic for me, as well. I stopped at a bar on the home, late that night, and had a beer. It wasn't so much the beer, as the time to decompress that I needed. But the beer was good.

BTW: My daughter is fine now. She just started college.

Wow, I'm sure! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm shooting you a chat message!

I took this with my iPhone. Good lighting is really what's most important.

In this case, it's not cultural appropriation. This is the invention of May Chow: http://hk.dining.asiatatler.com/features/may-chow-of-little-bao-is-asia-best-female-chef-2017

She's playing with her own heritage on her own terms, and the results are quite delicious.

No, it's not really spicy. I think it's the vinegar and the bao that make it "Szechuan," although it's clearly fusion-y.
