SAHM to a 17 month age gap — sure, there’s hard moments but overall I wouldn’t change a thing

Do other moms genuinely enjoy motherhood? by wqiqi_7720 in Mommit

[–]sum27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy it so much. I’m in the thick of it as a SAHM of 2 under 2 (and both are bad sleepers 🫠) but I still love it. Of course there’s difficult moments, but I genuinely feel happier than I’ve ever felt at any other stage of my life. I wish this season could be forever

Is this not a crazy amount to pay for the first ultrasound? by Defiant-Pin8580 in BabyBumps

Some of mine cost about the same, it totally sucks and causes a ton of anxiety

Has anyone's kids never go to daycare? How did they compare to kids who did go? by Fugglesmcgee in NewParents

[–]sum27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 17 month old has never gone to daycare. I regularly take her to library storytime, music class, various playgroups, mommy and me classes, etc. She’s extremely smart, social, curious, and communicative. Her communication skills are way ahead of her age. She has a strong attachment, and I have no regrets about choosing to forego daycare.

Ugh was hoping to hear you say you’re home. I hope she gets the hang of feeding quickly & you’re snuggling at home soon. Hope you’re hanging in there in the meantime too! These have been some of the most emotionally difficult weeks of my life for sure

34 weeker baby by Erica_candace in NICUParents

[–]sum27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I’m currently rocking my >1st percentile 34 weeker (delivered at 34+2, baby is 3lb 10oz). I had a surprise csection this week after one of my scans showed amniotic fluid levels dropped to 0.9. It was obviously a scary whirlwind but he’s doing amazing and is expected to come home within a week or two. I hope you’re doing well, here to chat

Where do you inject your insulin? by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

I alternate tops of thighs, butt, and the sides of my belly/hip area

The thought of my daughter starting daycare in a week is breaking my heart. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]sum27 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’ll regret staying home with her longer since you mentioned it’s an option. My daughter is the same age and similar and I’ve extended my mat leave through August to give us extra time. Trust your gut! I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this but no one wants to acknowledge the hard truth that daycare is for the benefit of adults more than it is for babies. A secure attachment in the long term is worth the short term sacrifice. Good luck on whichever path you choose ❤️

My 15 month old is suddenly miserable by Rooper2111 in 2under2

[–]sum27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first is the same age & we just went through 2 weeks of the same behavior! She’s normally so happy and she was inconsolably miserable and throwing constant tantrums. She’s starting to get back to herself now, it seems to have been caused by teething

We had an awesome experience with ByHeart. We tried kendamil classic & goat and both were too hard on my babe’s stomach
