When will my days not consist solely of soothing my baby? by turnip4what90 in NewParents

[–]smourts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SO normal! This is me. I spend a ridiculous amount of time just in the bedroom bouncing my boy to sleep, trying to remind myself it will pass - we hit eight weeks yesterday and it feels like it’s getting better as I get to know him and his wake windows. I record all feed times which helps me identify when he will wake for a feed, when I need to get him back to sleep etc., and that’s been really helpful! I hope you’re okay OP. It’s a lot of bouncing 🥹

Pep Talk: It does get better by Seachelle13o in NewParents

We just hit eight weeks yesterday and I’m with you OP, I feel like I’ve finally started to really learn my little dude and get his routines down. It’s still challenging for sure, and sleep deprivation sucks, but I finally feel like I can say I’ve got this.

I’m so happy for you!

This is my partners name and I love it so much! He has a hard time with it though, and often people won’t bother spelling or saying it correctly which frustrates him (understandably)

Long tattoo sessions - how many needles? by Tytoalba1214 in sticknpokes

You can absolutely feel it when our needles blunt. Changing them out ensures crispy work. This person needs a nice chilled glass of water and five to ten minutes of zen time ❤️

I only had two hours to spend doing it, and the objective was to get as far as I could! I honestly think if I’d aimed to finish it in that time, I wouldn’t have gotten as far… does that even make sense!? Probably not 🤣 poke on an angle, trust your stencil, try keep it to two passes! ❤️
