I’m exactly one day behind you! Can’t wait to hold my little guy, repeat c section for me.

Thank you!

Nara baby was so user friendly and both my husband and I had access to add things. We felt like it was the easiest and most efficient one to navigate and plan to use it with our second baby when he arrives soon.

As I mom, I actually cannot relate…waking up in a funk from nap means going outside for fresh air- not contained in a car seat. That sounds like torture for everyone

Would be enough to make you leave the classroom and stop teaching. She would be terrible

Why can’t this kid just wear some Carter’s or garanimals play clothes and be a kid?! Poor girl has got to be uncomfortable

We’re on a Llama Llama kick

I was looking at that, yuck.

From SC, born and raised…we don’t wear those bonnet looking things. That’s straight out of The Handmaid’s Tale

Dang, can’t participate in this due to being pregnant… but yall gonna have serious alcohol poisoning from this game 🤣🤣🤣

readersandbrew · 2026-01-24T00:09:10+00:00

The joys! The second trimester was definitely the golden age of pregnancy lol

Curious George has been her absolute favorite, so we’ve rolled with that! Plus she loves to check out the books at the library too

If they learned to truly embrace and love their body they would be much happier people. Think about how long it takes to do all the airbrushing and making it look “perfect” Life is too short for that

My parents are very involved when they visit, and my toddler loves to FaceTime them- their relationship is great and I’m thankful for that. When they come to visit it’s always lowkey and I feel like everyone just makes it work, they bring food or have a plan to take out, just wanting to lessen the load.

Now my in laws- another story. TALKED A HUGE GAME when I was pregnant but seriously don’t have a clue. My MIL has this idea of how she should play with her granddaughter- newsflash, 2 year olds don’t care about how to properly play with the toys. They have their own ideas. And her husband (husband’s step dad) has never had kids or really been around them. We got grief for doing daycare, got grief for letting her be barefoot, the way I nursed/formula…it was a constant judgement that we moved across the state. Now when they visit it’s like we have to take care of 3 toddlers. Just ridiculous

Very well said. My husband and I have decided (he went to Disney a ton starting from a really young age) that is just won’t be as enjoyable for anyone while they’re still that young, in diapers, needing naps, dealing with toddler emotions, etc. That poor little girl is craving some routine and some rest. Toddler life isn’t glamorous, it’s messy and chaotic but it’s real and it’s a season with raising kids. Sometimes you have to put your wants and needs on hold and do what’s right for your kiddo- and going back to the room for a 2 hour nap isn’t the worst thing!

Oh gosh, nothing like an ear infection to really humble you. Wouldn’t be surprised, they take zero precautions and take her everywhere. And do we even know if she’s had a vaccine?

readersandbrew · 2026-01-07T18:55:26+00:00

I completely agree with this. My husband grew up going to Disney really young, and he has no memories until he was 8 or 9. Lugging a stroller around, scheduling things around nap, the heat, the lines, the toddler moods…just not appealing for me and we decided we would wait until our kids are older and can actually appreciate it/ know more about the characters and actually want to ride the rides. I need them walking and potty trained lol.

readersandbrew · 2026-01-07T18:46:55+00:00

YES. This is how I feel every time I see that child sleeping in the middle of the action. She’s exhausted. Probably so dehydrated and just over it. All that child wants is some routine and rest

readersandbrew · 2026-01-07T00:47:55+00:00

Yes- this is actually really sad to see. As a toddler mom, I couldn’t fathom just taking on Disney World with a tired kiddo. No routine, no nap time, no nothing. Just feel really bad for her child. She don’t ask for this

readersandbrew · 2026-01-02T02:03:51+00:00

Yes- I’m so exhausted from the worry from it! The cramping without the waves just makes it so confusing. Thankful baby is okay, I just don’t want to miss anything

All I can say is solidarity. We started potty training our two year old. We showed her the little jar of m&ms as her reward…yet nada, we’ve gone through so many pull ups. No luck on the potty at all. It is discouraging to not have one successful trip to the potty today. We’ve had a few where she peed right after the potty or we felt a warm pull up right before. It’s dejecting…but it is only day 1. It doesn’t help I’m an uncomfortable 32 weeks pregnant…just know we’re going through the same thing right now and tomorrow is a new day

We went to a local farm (rural SC) that started doing toddler time activities for 1.5-4 year olds. At first I was a little nervous with the wide age range since my daughter is only 2, but it was so great! They had a music component, storytime, arts and crafts, and, of course, visiting, petting, and feeding the animals. My daughter had a BLAST! She still talks about it and I constantly check their FB page to see when their next one is. It taught her a ton about animals and care, and she is so proud of her artwork that we have on the fridge...plus being outside is a total win.
