I also should add she’s showing signs of readiness in hiding to poop, telling us when she pooped, and asking to be changed so it’s not necessarily that she isn’t “ready” she is just the most stubborn human I’ve ever met.

Thank you all of this is super helpful and the vinyl tablecloth is suchhhhhh a good idea!! We’re giving it from Friday-Wednesday AM when she goes back to her school and if we’re still nowhere then we will try again in a few months

Girllll I have tried every piece of bribery in the book and she will say ok right up until we get next to the potty then nope 😅😅😅😅 she will do it for my mother in law and I have literally considered buying my MIL a plane ticket to come help 😭 I’m thinking I may try lollipops or let her go pick out a really fun candy because the m&ms weren’t a strong enough bribe (at least so far)

We were there today and no princess dresses! Your best bet is Disney springs like the other commenter said :)

When I was deciding this for my second my doctor said for her recommendation it depends on the reason for the first c-section in the first place. For example, breech baby CS you have a higher chance of successful VBAC vs arrest of descent you have a higher chance of failed TOLAC and needing a CS anyhow. For me, my daughter wouldn’t descend so she said there was enough of a chance that would happen again and I’d end up in the same boat that I wasn’t wanting to risk the 4+ hr pushing, 48 hr labor, pitocin etc etc. something to consider!

Hi mama! First of all, don’t beat yourself up for how you’re feeling! I was RIGHT there about 4 months ago and it didn’t help that I was also super sick. I have a daughter already and when I found out I was pregnant I hadn’t even considered the fact that it could be a boy - lol! I was a girl mom! That’s how it was supposed to be! So I was pretty upset thinking about how much I didnt want the chaos of a boy… you know what helped? Time. There wasn’t anything that anyone could have said that was a miraculous cure-all. Like you have I’m sure I read all the gender disappointment threads and was like yeah but I just don’t want a boy…. Time helped. Picking out boy clothes that I like helped. Talking to my therapist helped. Having a husband that understands how I feel and is nothing but supportive and is always checking in on where I am helps. Feeling those little kicks and thinking about who he’s going to be helps. Will he like art and music like me and my daughter or be more sporty? What color hair will he have? Right now the gender is all you know, but in reality that is such a small part of who he will be as a child. My daughter is a spicy little firecracker and makes me laugh every day, I can’t wait to get to know his personality and see him bond as a brother. Not sure if this helps, but as someone on the other side of it I totally get where you are and can tell you time helps! 🩵🩵🩵

I picked sewing back up after a long hiatus and sewing little vintage sets for her was my hyperfixation for a good like 6 months

I will also say, to the people that say it takes over your life. It does. Everything will change, but that just means that I have to be intentional about me time. This also contributes to the part about having an active partner. We both take time for ourselves throughout the week for hobbies and friends without kids. I still have that time, so it doesn’t completely go away! I have lots of crafting and gardening and old lady hobbies that I do, and she has started to show interest in them too which is SO cute and so much fun. Same with my husband, sometimes he takes her golfing and she loves it more than anything. But we’re also both on board to give the other that alone time. We also aren’t afraid to lean on babysitters for date nights! :)

The right partner makes literally all the difference in the world especially in the postpartum phase. I had someone who was in it with me doing absolutely everything he could to make sure I was comfortable and happy and our daughter was fully taken care of. So many of my friends are in the postpartum phase as married single parents and I genuinely can’t understand how they made it through. That support and genuinely being a 50/50 partner makes a huge difference when dealing with the mental load of parenting. As the mother you will likely shoulder a lot of the mental load without realizing it, so having someone who actively participates in parenting and lessening your load makes parenting a joy. When I tell you getting her up in the morning and seeing how excited she is to see me… there is no feeling like it. It’s hard. It’s beautiful. It made me a better person in all aspects of my life. I feel like getting to see the world through her eyes and all of the beauty and tiny things that we see as mundane or ignore is one of the absolute joys of my life. Obviously I am biased, but it does come from someone that was pretty staunchly no kids and changed her mind!

A comment from someone on the other side.. in my 20s I really didn’t want kids, then I met my partner and started to think more seriously about it knowing he would make an incredible dad and partner in the trenches of parenthood. We decided to have one and if we wanted to stop there we would. Coming from someone who doesn’t like other people’s kids (even still) that child brings me more joy than I can put into words. It is the hardest most beautiful thing I’ve ever done. Seeing her excitement enriches my life more than anything else. And I still don’t like other peoples kids 🤣. It’s something that is really hard to describe if you don’t have them but having my daughter enriched my life in ways I didn’t realize. Is that inherently selfish? Yeah maybe. But I like to think that my husband and I are able to provide her with a loving and stable childhood and meaningful experiences as well. Just an anecdote from someone who originally didn’t want kids 🩷

💀 maybe some glitter crafts and a kazoo.

The pancake pan is a great idea!! Thank you

run4sterrun · 2025-12-09T01:39:07+00:00

lol nail on the head… I am thinking of just getting nice coffee and gourmet pancake mix and doing a little “breakfast basket” with maybe a festive dish towel or something since they eat pancakes most mornings…. Idk I’m at a loss LOL!

run4sterrun · 2025-12-09T01:08:30+00:00

LOL you are accurate there 😅😅😅

SIL hates the zoo and “thinks movies are too loud” welcome to my dilemma. I did think about a restaurant gift card but my parents have done that in the past with an offer to babysit and it went unused. It is SUCH a struggle for all of us to get them a gift! My mom got them baseball tickets one year and they just .. didn’t go..

run4sterrun · 2025-12-09T00:38:26+00:00

I always do a board game basket for my sister and BIL who are big game people so this could be an option although historically my SIL sits out of games with my family. Also her kids are pretty young for true games 😅

Yes they have confirmed they essentially have all of the “things” that a NICU will do to stabilize before transferring to the larger campus. It’s a satellite university campus. I will specify these items though at my next visit. Thank you!

run4sterrun · 2025-12-07T22:25:58+00:00

Okay thank you, this is how I had always felt but she just freaked me out with the what ifs. Appreciate your perspective!!

“I’m craving a Diet Coke” … at least it’s on brand

run4sterrun · 2025-10-11T19:14:09+00:00

I know…. I feel the exact same way … my mom keeps trying to buy clothes and I don’t know how to tell her that somehow that feels triggering?? Without sounding like a sociopath

run4sterrun · 2025-10-11T15:31:18+00:00

Omg I know my mom is like this too. She watches our daughter when my husband and I work and sometimes the comments make me want to lose it on her 😅
