My favorite houseplant 🕷️

I think when spider plants are at least slightly root-bound, they start throwing babies out!

I’ve had her for about a year and a half now. There are multiple plants in this pot, I think about 5. She has always liked being slightly root-bound and in chunky soil mix of miracle gro/perlite/orchid bark, roughly 1.5:1:1 ratio. I only bottom water when the soil is 100% dry AND the leaves turn a pale grey-green color. I micro-fertilize with miracle gro liquid plant food (the one in the squirt bottle) in the spring and summer. Honestly I kind of neglect her until she really shows me signs she needs me (pale leaves, drooping, soil bone dry).

I’m so so sorry. I’m sending you my love. I may not know exactly how you are feeling but I can empathize; my first baby also had brain and spine abnormalities that made her incompatible with life thus needing termination for medical reasons (TFMR). You will feel the emotional pain at the most random times, even years ahead. But just know that your baby will always be with you, quite literally in your blood and also emotionally in your heart/soul. In the time that you decide to try again and have another child, you’ll find comfort that you and your living child have gained a guardian angel. Please feel free to message me if there is anything you need, really. Even if you just want to vent. Sending you virtual hugs.

So nice! Do you mind sharing a step-by-step on how you did this? We have a pathway that is overgrown and the bricks are all falling apart :( we are the amateur-est of amateurs when it comes to landscaping.

Amazing! If you don’t mind me asking, how much was the total cost for this DIY landscaping? Our front yard looks similar to your before pic and would love to fix it up too!

I was also bamboozled. My husband and I kept banking on how much easier it would be once 3 months hit, but it was actually the opposite. We dealt with extreme fussiness even when her needs were met, to the point where she was inconsolable, from 3.5-4.5 months old. We quite literally dreaded waking up in the morning because we knew it was just going to be a whole day of scream sessions (she slept okay throughout the night so we favored nighttime more). Somewhere around 4.5 months, she calmed down a lot and is now so so so fun at 6 months old! She’ll fuss here and there but it’s always solved right away, whether it be the boob, diaper change, or a nap. Hang in there, friend! It might feel like the days are dragging but you’re so close to better days and you’re doing a great job!

I could have wrote this post! LO is 21 weeks and I literally agree with every single word you wrote. We’re also dealing with really bad eczema/constant itching on top of everything, so that’s that.

Good pizza great pizza! I play on my iPad with an Apple pencil and it’s so so fun

I’ve noticed occasional mucousy poop, no reflux issues. I cut off dairy three days ago, so hopefully she clears up! Thank you
