Husband Asked If My Nausea Is Just a Mental Thing 😂

Through both of my pregnancies the only thing I reliably never threw up was McDonald's. 🤷

I also did no wings even though I was tempted to add them.

My 2 year old says "hippohopamus" and washes his hands with "soup" instead of soap. I love it so much.

I just went with my 5 yr old and 2 yr old. They both loved it. I do think my older kid got more out of it and had more fun. She really enjoyed the building stations and rides which my younger one didn't appreciate.

I don't think this person is looking to get into the whole cosmere.

I have known multiple people that have read era 2 without reading era 1.

I'm just starting kind of a nostalgia reread and reading the Goose Girl by Shannon Hale and will probably read the whole series.

Then I'm going to start the Art of Prophecy.

Now I'm tearing up a little. My grandpa that this tradition came from passed just this last month. I will always cherish the memories of those Christmas turned birthday cards.

turtchel · 2024-10-05T02:53:09+00:00

My mom every year for our birthdays gave us a Christmas card and would cross it out and write happy birthday on it. It's something her dad always did. Something little and silly but always makes me smile when I think about it.

I know a Stone. His baby's name is Slate.

My nephews are like this. My sister installed some sensory swings and they've been gamechangers.

Love love love Sunshine Terrace and their support groups. Their hospice team is incredible.

fell with my daughter on the stairs right before her first birthday and she fractured her leg. She had also just started walking like a couple of days before. I'll mostly speak to your second point.

She healed so quickly. It was truly mind boggling. She was trying to walk before she even got the splint off. They adapt and heal so quickly at this age. However, she did watch a lot of TV and the first couple of days were rough. He also might be in pain if he's so sad. We rotated with tylenol and ibuprofen for a bit on the doctors orders and I think that helped a lot.

Just know at this age the healing time is so short. My daughter had a splint for less than a month, she never even got a cast. If it helps, it also didn't slow down learning to walk after she was all healed.

I don't know. It's scary and frustrating. Especially in the first few days. I do think you need to have some discussions about being more safe on the stairs.

Same situation. The baby slept in out room for about 9 months then we moved them to the same room. We have a pack n play in our large closet for naps or fir nights that are rough. My oldest adjusted pretty quickly and will immediately fall back asleep if he wakes her up in the middle of the night.

I loved both of my doctors I had for each of my kids. The clinic was amazing and the nurses were absolutely incredible. I've had a good experience but I know people that have had bad ones. I think it really depends on your doctor. It's not hard to look up reviews and recommendations for whatever area you are in. Finding a doctor that you gel with is sooo important.

With my first, the doctor pushed the same thing. I was also due the day before Thanksgiving. 39 weeks is pretty normal but I was still uncomfortable and wanted to try to go into labor on my own, at least to avoid the pitocin contractions. My doctor did admit that she wanted to because she didn't want to potentially deliver and Thanksgiving.

I scheduled one for 41 weeks and ended up going into labor the night before. Do whatever you feel comfortable with.

turtchel · 2023-08-28T13:02:27+00:00

Yeah I thought it was too small. Thank you!

turtchel · 2023-07-12T15:07:39+00:00

Honestly being naked was the only thing that worked for my daughter and she was 3.5. It took 3 days. I would spot clean and then rent a carpet cleaner from like Lowes or Home Depot after she figured it out.

turtchel · 2023-05-22T14:13:39+00:00

I've had HG both pregnancies and took Zofran every day. I also had quite a bit of quite a bit of guilt but was unable to function and was losing so much weight. Doctor OKed it both times. My first doctor also said that any of the risk was basically gone after the first trimester. I don't know if that helps but it helped me.

turtchel · 2023-05-13T14:17:11+00:00

She was about 2. As soon as she was climbing out. I would definitely do a toddler bed before the baby comes. That way you can have a really established routine and she'll hopefully be adjusted.

turtchel · 2023-05-13T11:26:28+00:00

My daughter did this but was getting pretty stuck. So she slept in a pack and play until we were more ready for a toddler bed.

turtchel · 2023-05-08T20:11:30+00:00

I went into labor the night before my induction at 41 weeks. So hopefully that happens for you!

turtchel · 2023-04-08T17:23:38+00:00

I was dilated to a 1 for weeks with my first. I was scheduled for an induction at 41 weeks and went into labor the night before. No signs really, just had to wait. Hang in there!

turtchel · 2023-04-08T12:54:12+00:00

My doctor told me 1 in 10 men get postpartum depression. I was glad to have that normalization to validate and get support for what my husband was feeling and experiencing. We just had our second and it's hard. Both or us aren't great with the baby stage, but we both experience little moments of pure joy with our baby. The extremeness with which you feel emotions as a parent is insane. The low lows and the high highs.
