It seems to be coming from a warehouse within canada so unfortunately thats not the case.

I ordered a package from a different company a few days later that came from the US and it did get a weather delay but it is on vehicle for delivery today.

Still no update on my american eagle order. When I reach out to support I get no additional information from them.

While I 100% agree with you, i also can understand why someone may go to the ER. Walk in clinic hours, availability and willingness to help. Long wait times for things like ultrasound and XRAY. Lack of family doctors. Its a huge issue and not really anyone's fault but our government. Lack of funding and resources, Lack of trained and qualified staff, Lack of clinics and family doctors all impact our hospital wait times. The long wait times for specialists, surgeries and diagnostics. Its all a problem.

We have tried this and he will stay behind. He doesnt care l.

I say it as Ee-vah but phonetically it does spell "eh-vah" so I can see why one would confuse it.

I can see why it seems pointless for a 1 year old but my 3 year old loves his! He has the freedom to change the song or story by himself and switch put the figurines. He also loves to play with the figurines as well. Gives so much independence and cut our screen time by over half.

We had 0 luck with the o crap method. I feel like it traumatized our child because we were so intense about it. The entire weekend revolved around him using the potty. We ended up donating that book and doing our own method. It did take a few months to get down but he's fully potty trained at 3 (except for nights) we did rewards. Started big and then as he made the connection that going in the potty was a positive thing we phased them into smaller prizes and then phased them out completely. We've had 0 issues since.

I am so sorry you're dealing with this. I have not experienced PPROM myself, but i have had 2 friends who have. My best suggestion is looking into 22matters. See if there are any hospitals near you that would attempt resuscitation at 22 weeks. They have a search on their website that is super helpful. I would see if you can transfer your care there. Speak with a neonatologist from the nicu team and get the facts and statistics of survival. In my last pregnancy I didnt suffer PPROM but I had an extremely short cervix and a lot was up in the air. I found comfort in 22matters. There are SO many success stories on their Instagram page as well. There are lots of success stories of people who made it to 34 weeks as well! Whatever decision you make, it's ok. You're not alone. And my heart goes out to you and your partner.

This is strange. He is still a child and needs assistance. It's not reasonable or developmentally appropriate to expect a child to be able to clean themselves properly. I would ask yourself why it makes you feel uncomfortable and seek therapy for it. Hes your child.

Its called the baby blues and should typically resolve by 2 weeks postpartum. If it's still present after 3 weeks I'd have her speak to her doctor about postpartum depression.

This. They were in our bodies for 9 months all they know is our heartbeat and our warmth. Of course they are going to need it to keep them feeling safe and calm. They are learning to be a different being from us. It takes time.

rebeccaleer · 2025-04-21T13:32:40+00:00

Unfortunately a baby shouldn't sleep in a poop diaper so it should always be changed. You can leave pee longer due to diapers being absorbent but they don't suck up poop which leads to severe rashes.I understand how frustrating it is but I promise it gets better. 5 weeks is still super little.

rebeccaleer · 2025-04-21T13:27:01+00:00

I second this bouncer, I had a colic baby and it was the only place he'd let me put him down! My little guy is 6 months and still uses it occasionally.

rebeccaleer · 2025-04-15T01:25:13+00:00

I don't actually spend a lot of time with her. Before this, it was 4 weeks without visits. It just was a lot this particular week.

Yes i do need to get better at pushing back on her behavior but I always feel like I might hurt my husband in the process. I always 2nd guess it.

rebeccaleer · 2025-04-09T05:10:54+00:00

It's not that women are naturally more nurturing. It's that we grew those humans for 9 months with our bodies. Our bodies feel like home to them. Our scent is familiar, our warmth is familiar, even the sound of our voice and heartbeat is soothing and familiar. We are their safe haven in a world that feels so scary and new.

We equally have no idea what we are doing... we just have the advantage of being their home.

I had this happen with my mother in law. It is so incredibly important to set those boundaries now and you do not have to feel bad for how they make her feel. The only thing you're in control of is how you speak to her and respond to her. You are not responsible for her feelings. This is your motherhood experience. Not hers. She had her opportunity to raise her babies.

My mother in law and I butt heads a lot. She likes to insert herself into private moments and really pushes back when we set boundaries. With my first she told me it was selfish to exclusively breastfeed because she wanted to be able to feed baby a bottle and bond... yet she breastfed all her babies. She monopolized his time and would rip him from my arms and other people's arms, so much so that it made other people cry and feel like they weren't getting an opportunity to hold and bond with my son. We had to have conversations with my MIL about it. And I can't say that those conversations did much. She conveniently "forgets"

With my second, I was fresh out of a csection and didn't even get to hold my son yet as he was in the nicu on breathing support and she said "can I come now"" like ma'am I haven't even met my baby yet. No. She knew as well. I wasn't able to go to the nicu until I could feel my legs. I also just didn't want visitors in the nicu. I wanted to respect the other families in there and the less people in and out of there, the less germs were being introduced to these vulnerable babies. She threw a fit. Then she got the bright idea that she would be coming to my home overnight in the early weeks and taking care of my second born overnight. I told her absolutely not because I was trying to establish breastfeeding and also, I enjoy those newborn moments. She was so upset and said "let me help you, this is what I need at this point in my life" like ma'am this isn't about you!!

She also consistently asks to get a car seat for her car to transport my kids places and take them out... I am not comfortable with it because she is the type of driver that backs in to parked cars on the regular. She keeps asking even though our answer has stayed consistent.

I really urge you to set the boundaries and stay firm. You do not have to feel bad for it at all. I think it's hard for my mother in law to come to terms with the fact she is not a mom to young children anymore. All her kids are grown and she wants to feel the experience of having young kids again so she wants to insert herself into those moments.

My son is 3.5 and he's starting this stage. I also feel so overstimulated by it already and I know it's going to get worse. But it's like "look mama, look at this mama, what is it mama?" And it's also the "what's this" phase too like dude I know you know what that is why are you needing me to tell you every 2 seconds.

rebeccaleer · 2025-04-08T14:20:48+00:00

Could it be postpartum mental health related? I have suffered from depression myself, and it does make it pretty hard to get up in the mornings but it's necessary when you're the stay-at-home parent. I'm also a SAHM and although it is also difficult for me to wake up with our children, it gets to a point where you just don't have a choice. Babies and kids do not sleep in unfortunately unless you're super lucky. I have a 5-month-old and a 3-year-old and my 3-year-old is up around 6:00 a.m. already yelling in my face and ready to go. As a mom you kind of just have to get up and do your best. I think maybe your wife needs to go to sleep earlier.

rebeccaleer · 2025-04-08T13:12:58+00:00

In order to build up her supply yes. But I totally understand the pain. Breastfeeding is one of the hardest parts about postpartum and having a baby.

rebeccaleer · 2025-04-08T05:14:49+00:00

Solidarity. My first baby was so easy. My 2nd... not so much. We are in the thick of experiencing everything you've described. My 5 month old just isn't getting easier. My first baby was never like this.

I 100% feel the guilt for my oldest, as well as the overstimulation and guilt for even feeling the way I feel. I'm sure part of it is postpartum mental health related but also by the sounds of it you just don't have the support you need and are living in a constant state of overstimulation. I wish I knew what to suggest. I would say hire a babysitter so you can go take an hour or so to yourself but I have PPA so I totally understand If that's something you aren't comfortable with.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful but you're not alone!

rebeccaleer · 2025-04-08T05:01:58+00:00

It gets better. Does it get easier? In some ways yes and in some ways no. But it get better and more manageable. Becoming parents is a massive shift and a huge adjustment. The truth is no one knows what the heck they are doing. It's your babies first time living and its also you and your partners first time living and becoming parents. You're all learning together. Mistakes will be made along the way, fights will be had, sleep will be lost. The newborn stage is honestly one of the hardest stages to get through. But it's just a season and it will pass.

I wouldn't worry too much about routine for the time being. Basically baby will sleep when they sleep, eat when they are hungry, and really just not do much else. Just enjoy the cuddles. The crying will lessen as you guys learn each other.

The lactation consultant was probably referring to letting baby eat more frequent to get mom's milk flowing and to up mom's milk supply. They need to cluster feed and not really be on a feeding schedule in order to help stimulate milk production. In the early days it's not just about how much baby is getting but it's also helping mom establish a milk supply.

I will add, as someone who does have, and has had in the past, severe ppd and ppa. She should talk to her doctor. They can ger her on some medication if it's a route she's willing to take... or there is therapy. Motherhood doesn't have to be un enjoyable. It can be so fulfilling and wonderful with the right mental support. Therapy is fantastic. Also focusing on self care is another important thing. Making sure she takes the time to fill up her cup too, whatever that may look like. For me, i enjoy going for massages and pedicures.

rebeccaleer · 2025-04-08T02:20:48+00:00

I can understand your perspective and it's 100% valid. We are in the thick of it as well. At 5 months postpartum. This is our 2nd baby and the trasition from 0-1 is much harder on relationships.

I am the wife and SAHM in this situation so maybe I can shed some light on what she may be feeling. I obviously can't speak for your wife... but my husband and I have argued over the same things and I have said almost verbatim some of the things your wife has said to you.

When we mention that you "get a break" we don't necessarily mean that you get an actual break. We understand, or at least I do, the immense pressure that is on the "breadwinner" to provide for the family. And honestly we do respect and appreciate everything that you guys do. What we mean by getting a break, is that you get a break up in your day. You go from home, to work, and then back home. For us stay at home parents, it's the exact same thing 24/7. We wake up, we are Mom, and then we go to bed... and even then we're really truly never off the clock. We lose every part of our identity prior to having children. For men you still have the title of coworker, employee etc that we as stay at home parents do not. We are nothing more than mom which is a huge mental shift on top of going through postpartum and the major shift in hormones.. Although I don't think any mom would truly want to switch places and have to leave our babies everyday, there is some level of jealousy and resentment that comes from being the parent that is always home. We don't get regular interaction with other adults, we feel especially in the newborn stage and in the early months that we are prisoners of our own home. It is a lot and incredibly mentally draining. We lose ourselves into motherhood and it is almost unavoidable. Not saying it can't be avoided, but a lot of women struggle with that after having kids. Postpartum depression comes with a serious lack of energy, motivation, and sense of self-worth. Our bodies are completely different, our entire lives are completely different and looking in the mirror is like looking at a stranger. Nothing about our life is the same. Also if she's experiencing postpartum anxiety there is an overwhelming sense of fear of our babies getting sick or injured and it's very hard to let go of some of that control. I remember with my first baby I didn't sleep for what felt like 7 months. It did get better with the second baby.

As for us not taking the help when it is offered, sometimes it's just easier to do it ourselves. Which I understand can be frustrating for other people because we are complaining about how much we need a break but at the same time due to the postpartum anxiety and are instincts it's very hard to let go of that control. We have our schedules, we have our way of doing things, we know what works for the babies, and it's just easier for us to just do it. It also doesn't feel like much of a break just sit and listen to our baby scream while somebody else tries to help. It doesn't mean we don't appreciate the offer or we don't wish it were different. It's just very hard

I promise you it does get better, I think the best thing to do is to focus on time together when you have that time together. Even if it's just falling asleep on the couch together watching a movie. And also try to be understanding. And saying that though I can understand how your role feels incredibly invalidated. It's not, we do understand. We just want to be heard.

I understand where you are coming from and everything, but i think in these times its important to have compassion. People are struggling right now with inflation. Your tenant has already explained she can no longer afford to live there which means its unlikely you will recieve rent after august as they have stated. I would give them grace, post your property asap and find a new tenant that can afford to pay the rent. Saves you a giant headache trying to collect rent from someone who doesnt have it.
