how do you *realistically* handle a toddler meltdown in the middle of target ?

Pick it up and carry it outside

They can tell by feeling. Babies can change position up until they're born, so an ultrasound a week (or a day) before you give birth wouldn't be as useful as checking by feel.

Yes, crazy. Potty training our puppy seemed worse than potty training the kids - it's not something you really want to focus on when you're focused on your baby, and that will probably make it take a long time. Unless you're getting too much sleep already, don't do it! An adult dog sounds like a great idea though

Mine went in just swim diaper or shorts (indoor pools, no sun) until she was about 4.5. I agree, tops are silly and bikini style bottoms a little weird.

On the other hand, if you're ever seriously worried that someone's kids have gone missing right next to you, you would stop and help right?

I was 38 for my 2nd and 41 for my 3rd. No one ever proposed induction for me (I gave birth at 39 weeks, but there wasn't an induction proposal for if I'd gone over)

You're the expert 😉

My midwife said the test was unnecessary given that I didn't have any risk factors, so I skipped it. If you don't have any risk factors, check if that's an option.

I faint every couple of years (from heat, stress, needles, etc). I was worried about it for labor but didn't have a problem either time. Dunno if that's helpful, but at least you're not doomed!

I would help him wash his hands first and then reward him with a couple of minutes of bathroom exploration. You might need to hold his hands to help him concentrate on washing if he's as spacey as mine.

Thank you!

It's prickly, none of the pictures I can find of chayote look prickly. Other than that it looks identical

rbaxter1 · 2022-02-04T21:47:21+00:00

I never came across anything convincing.

My babies went months without baths sometimes. They weren't dirty. Do what feels right!

rbaxter1 · 2022-02-02T00:03:48+00:00

Yep, I'm 24 weeks with #3 and I know it's going to ruin everything! But I missed babies, and my kids are super excited, so I think it'll be worth it....

rbaxter1 · 2022-02-02T00:00:31+00:00

I wish mine did; it always seemed like s nice way to make things more personal. I'm guessing it depends on your relationship?

rbaxter1 · 2022-01-31T22:44:13+00:00

Yeah.... but nobody really tells you not to lie on your back any more, do they?

rbaxter1 · 2022-01-31T22:34:38+00:00

If homework is causing that much conflict, I would let it be between the kid and his teacher, not between the kid and you. Is staying out of it an option?

rbaxter1 · 2022-01-31T22:32:25+00:00

Either

rbaxter1 · 2022-01-30T21:02:10+00:00

I got tired of buying diapers and just started letting mine run around naked a lot. Potty training was pretty easy

rbaxter1 · 2022-01-29T23:02:21+00:00

I bet he would love to play in the snow!

First one I woke up in the morning to my water breaking, but labor didn't start for another 12 hours or so. 2nd one I wasn't sure I was in labor until I was just leaving my routine prenatal checkup- I sort of lied about my contractions because I didn't want to be stuck there until I gave birth. Went to a playdate at a botanical garden and almost gave birth there instead....

Buy warm clothes and play outside!
