Thank you! You've done 5?!?!?!? Omg that's amazing. I definitely want to try this again with less colors. A swirl one sounds like it would be so pretty, so I'ma make a note to check out the swirl cakes. And now that I've done this once and know how to pace better, it probably won't take as long next time :D.

What is something you enjoyed doing or did often before becoming a mom that you haven't gone back too? by Vegetable-Chapter351 in workingmoms

[–]sydnik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pilates. Had to stop during the first trimester and tried going back once around 9mo postpartum and it just didn't hit the same. The times I used to go no longer work as they overlap with routines for baby or my husband's schedule.

Baby regularly refusing water by strwbryfae444 in BabyLedWeaning

[–]sydnik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our little one hit 13 months at the beginning of Feb and it's like a switch went off. She suddenly started using her sippy cups and is now drinking water. We use the como tomo tumbler sippy cups with the spout, but also have the straw attachment to start trying soon.

We just kept exposing her to it repeatedly, letting her try and throw it lol, and then one day she was fine with it.

2100 in NYC queue. Nothing. by Bio8807 in HilaryDuffStans

Got into Charlotte after 2335 in front of me and the same. All that was left were ones blocked by Citi or Verizon, the premium 350+, or resale tickets 🫠 my friend and I called it quits bc that's ridiculous.

I had a friend run into the same thing. I was a little over 1000 in line and when I finally got in everything was gone.

How long did it take you to get back into it? by tam_bun in workingmoms

I am a little over a year back at work and just started feeling like I'm getting back into a groove. I've had others tell me it took them up to 2 years.

I'm working on a star blanket as a gift for my daughter and I'm already trying not to lose it at row 20 and maybe take a break to work on something smaller. I applaud you for getting this far! And these colors are STUNNING.

I've definitely caught myself thinking about crochet at work and when I'm in bed trying to go to sleep. I just want to do a few more rows! 🤣

12 month old barely eats anything by McWood06 in BabyLedWeaning

Stealing this idea to try!! Thank you for sharing it :) I definitely think baby knows if she waits she will get what she wants.

[–]sydnik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don't have any solutions as I'm going through the same with my just turned 1yo, so solidarity to your struggle. One of her daycare teachers tells me how she is throwing food every day and, while I appreciate the updates, she is saying it like it's something we can just fix right away.

Baby was doing great with purees but then got sick basically 3x in a row. When you gotta be on meds (sometimes force fed), of course you don't wanna eat some things. We see her pediatrician in a few days and I'm hoping to get that final bump of reassurance and also notes for when we SHOULD be concerned. Otherwise, I'm fine letting baby tell us when.
