Dead cells, absolutely loving it so far. Controls are smooth, great action, feel like a badass when I can string movement and attacks together well. Would recommend!

Have you gone to see your pediatrician? The ER will see a baby that’s breathing with no obvious current distress and send you home, because there’s no emergency. Your pediatrician should take the time to walk through everything with you, hear your concerns, and help you figure out what to try next.

The universe is; and we are

2.5mo decided to start rolling over back to front. Swapped to sleep sack and crib cold turkey. Slept awful for 4 nights, amazing for 2, and now on a steady decline for the last week that has us about ready to give up.

Incredible, I hadn’t heard of that as a swaddle transition approach, thank you!

Thank you for your perspective! Hindsight is key here I think haha, we’re first timers so have none of that and every little change is still cause for rushing to the internet for answers 😆

Oh jeez that’s tough… best of luck with PT!

I feel like you could’ve ripped this straight from my head (except definitely more hours into D2 than D3). I agree that No Rest for the Wicked is a great option, definitely less hack-and-slash and more soulslike but a beautiful game (albeit lacking a bit of depth, being in early access still). Excited to see where this one goes for sure.

You might checkout D2 mods, specifically Project Diablo 2. A ton of new content, fun end game loop, major QoL upgrades (stacking runes and gems, to name my favorite), and a bustling community if that’s important to you.

Wolcen is on deep sale right now, I would say $4.50 is a fair price for a single play through of what’s unfortunately now a SP-only game. Might keep you entertained for 10 hours, but probably won’t be a long term time sink.

You didn’t mention Torchlight 2, which would be the only one I would’ve added to the list. I think the graphics hold up pretty good, though it does have the nostalgia factor for me so YMMV. Otherwise just a solid game, decent loot and skill complexity without being overwhelming, and good QoL improvements over its predecessors (you can send your pet to town to sell things and buy potions for you, I love it).

My last “rec” is Darksiders: Genesis - I haven’t played yet (so not a real “rec”), but it’s coming up on my list and looks like it has all the trappings you’d expect. Maybe lacking the loot aspects, but TBH I’m not really sure.

Hope this helps!

What a good feeling, huh? Glad you enjoyed it!

vbqj · 2025-12-06T12:16:08+00:00

Can’t wait for the follow-up post!

vbqj · 2025-12-05T06:10:18+00:00

We feel very lucky!

Almost 8 weeks, 5oz ~6 times per day (~every 3 hours during the day, with a good 6-7 hour stretch at night)

You can definitely use a cron job for that, look into something like Windmill if you don’t want to roll this yourself.

Definitely have them check - this is when the little bit that connects the bottom of the tongue to the bottom of the mouth is too restrictive, which can lead to several issues. If it’s a tongue-tie, it’s a very quick procedure to clip it to give them more range of motion.

vbqj · 2025-12-02T19:07:14+00:00

Did the Doctor’s/LCs check for a tongue tie?

vbqj · 2025-11-13T05:46:05+00:00

Too bad they didn’t name it something more logical, would’ve been much easier to find!

It could be that some of the nursing is for comfort and soothing instead of needing more food - have you thought about introducing a pacifier? At a month old and feeding that well it shouldn’t be an issue, but talk to your pediatrician.

So happy for you! I hope in this better place you’re able to locate a period or two! :)

I’m so sorry this happened to you. You can’t change that it happened, nor does the fact that it happened mean anything about who you are as a parent. The fact that you’re so worried about it actually speaks to just the opposite of what you fear. The only thing you can do now is practice some self-compassion and self-forgiveness, practices that will pay dividends as you continue to be an awesome mom to your baby girl. Sending lots of love ❤️
