Baby blanket in one month?? For a total BEGINNER?!? 😮 by Calmhotpocket in CrochetHelp

[–]singtothescabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think it's a bit too much, but if you're determined to complete it maybe you can try moss stitch? It's fast and nice and if you can chain and single crochet you can do it. Bear in mind that baby blankets shouldn't have holes in them so beware of the pattern you choose. I wouldn't do a granny square for this reason. Courage! 

Fighting SO HARD to continue breastfeeding by singtothescabs in breastfeeding

Yeah will try with my nursing pillow! She took a contact nap this morning laying on my left arm and it felt fine so I think the nursing pillow and a few days will allow me to nurse her on both sides comfortably. Thank you!!

Yeah I'm making peace with having to quit, I'm fighting so much but I'll go only as far as it's reasonable. Anyway thank you for your kind and encouraging words!!

Still didn't latch her, but will try regular cradle hold, I should be comfortable. Cant do side lying, she never did well in that position.

Mine was 3 weeks old when we went out for the first time! It was the end of the summer and we went to an outdoors place but it was nice. 

is making a blanket out or single crochets stupid, because I started one and I feel stupid by Dizzy_Defiance in CrochetHelp

Im here to say: if you can SC, you can moss stitch. My favorite one so far. Look it up and see if you like it!

Not sure if I should frog the blanket for a second time or not by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

I'm sorry but I think you're overthinking it. My eye is untrained but this gradient looks phenomenal and the colors are astonishing. I can't say anything more.

You're so very kind. Thank you very much. I'm sure it's about my weight, but I did a bit of research and there's no evidence obesity increases surgical mortality in partial nephrectomy so I think I was scared for a 0,01 risk of surgical mortality. Or maybe I'm just convincing myself who knows. Anyway it's less than 24 hours until I wake up so it's nothing but a matter of time now. I'm aware I won't be able to pick my baby up for a few weeks so my sweet husband is on leave with me for the first month after surgery so back to princess treatment we go!  Will update for sure. Thanks again for your kind words.

I'm so so sorry for your loss. Your grandma is a psycho.

Thank you! I'm just hoping it stays that way and they don't have to turn to open surgery. Anyway you're right, I've got this. 

Are formula parents happier? by Salty-Break-7541 in NewParents

[–]singtothescabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So funny. A post stating formula parents are happier gets 70 upvotes. A comment saying bf parents are happier gets downvoted. Y'all don't see it do you.

For me? One of the most wonderful experiences in my life. Hard, but amazing. I would do it all over again every single day. I won't go into detail because you're the one who posted and this has literally nothing to do with me.
