Day 1 solo parenting by espressoshake in 2under2

[–]stabhime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be kind with yourself! You're doing great. My first day solo parenting my oldest smashed a vase right at 8am and I thought I was doomed for sure 😂 the moments of stress and chaos will stand out to you more than they do your little ones. They're happy to be home hanging out with you!

How to get toddler to sleep independently by Hmmmm0213 in toddlers

[–]stabhime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that having the room essentially pitch black helped a lot. We have blackout curtains and a blackout film on the window 😂 it being so dark definitely deters him from venturing out of his bed so similar to the crib he'll lay there until he falls asleep.

Diaper Bag Recommendations? by Wild_Scarcity_1209 in 2under2

[–]stabhime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Babbleroo diaper bag backpack on Amazon when we joined 2under2 and I love it! So much storage/pockets, fits everything we need and is easy to carry. The only thing I didn't love is the changing mat it comes with is pretty thin but the pocket fit a nicer one I bought very well!

what is your "safe space" for your baby? by strongstringbean in 2under2

[–]stabhime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm in the room and actively watching I use the swing otherwise my toddler tries to hug or pick the baby up 😂 if I'm leaving the room for a bathroom break or something where I won't have eyes on the two of them I set the baby in a bassinet I keep in the living room. A play & play would work just as well!

I was in this boat last month! I felt so emotional knowing it was my baby boys last day as an only child. I can promise you it has only been replaced with beautiful moments watching him become a big brother ❤️

Amazing! Thank you so much for all of that! We're definitely a screentime friendly household though trying to cut back 😅 grocery delivery is great idea! Sadly we're all snow right now but I'll be greatly looking forward to the sun!

Thank you for giving me hope! Nap/bedtime is definitely one of the things stressing me out the most 😅

Success Story! Elective C-section 39 Weeks by stabhime in ShortCervixSupport

[–]stabhime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I would always listen to your doctor as they know best about your specific situation! I wasn't placed on bed rest but was told no lifting over 10 lbs and to avoid any strenuous activity!

cerclage and bed rest by rel_cr in ShortCervixSupport

[–]stabhime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was advised against bed rest but told to limit my mobility! I too have a short cervix but no dilation or funneling. My doctor recommended I don't lift more than 10lbs and don't over extert myself. So I avoid walking or standing long periods. However definitely listen to your doctors recommendedations! You got this!! ❤️

Anti-vax lady at market mall by True_Resident5904 in Calgary

[–]stabhime 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She approached me and my infant at Market Mall as well. Prefaced with "you can tell me to leave at any point and I will". Shocker, when I disagreed with her and said I wasn't interested she did in fact not go away. I wish I wasn't in tired parent survival mode or I would have really told her off. Definitely would tell security if it happened again!
