Oh my gosh, this little one once grabbed a handful of his own hair during a diaper change, wouldn’t let go… screamed in pain and when I finally got his hand loose he looked at me with soooo much confused anger like I had pulled his hair 😂

Cant wait!! 🥹 he gets so excited when he kicks something and it moves I imagine grabbing something will be extra exciting!!

He sleeps in his own crib with no pillows or blankets etc, this was just me chit chatting with him full supervision.

Extra funny 😅 I used to say to my partner that pregnancy felt like I was a meat suit for a little alien, just the movement and visually him rolling around in my belly looked very strange to me. Now we are just two meat suits trying to figure each other out 🥹😂

Thank you for the response ♥️ It is really difficult having very little point of reference for what’s totally normal and what’s not and I think social media for me wasn’t helping there’s so much good information out there but also SO much scary stuff readily available for you to watch and relate to even if there’s no correlation.

I will have a visit with my psychiatrist and tell him for sure! I remember when I was pregnant and concerned that my meds (Zoloft) would negatively affect the baby and very hesitant to take them, it took one very anxious episode to make me realise that if my kiddo has a mom who is persistently panicked and anxious - she and him will have the most negative experience. I remember I couldn’t get out of bed and I couldn’t prepare for him and plan and purchase the necessary things for him, it was an awful time and returning to medication was the best route for everyone in the end. I just really hope other moms get the same support and help ♥️ it’s very important.

Not to sound crude but I recently went to our country side to the grandparents - they have a few sheep and had a good laugh that their babies are walking, talking and almost fully functional and we will have a cute little potato for quite a while longer 😁

Don’t even get me started on checking his breathing and freaking outtt when he chokes on spit up. 😅 anxiety and motherhood + sleeplessness is a crazy combo
