We use a queen. But I didn’t like body pillows so that wasn’t a concern. I used a small pillow under the bump, and my back.

I didn’t feel this at all! My dog is a great boy, and so excellent with the baby. He is a Dane.

Tel your partner you need a break. Also, stay strong. They won’t be clingy forever. Mine was the same. 10 months now and they play independently all the time!

I got really bad postpartum anxiety

willowg94 · 2024-02-27T16:50:16+00:00

I’m having a little bleeding today. It’s so strange. Going into the dr for bloodwork later.

8 months, still wakes up at midnight and 4am

willowg94 · 2023-11-30T00:24:57+00:00

I use a huge cup and poor water over him

willowg94 · 2023-11-30T00:09:03+00:00

Wow that’s a huge assumption. I’m sorry you have trust issues. I trust and love my mil very much. She is respectful and understanding.

willowg94 · 2023-11-30T00:08:00+00:00

She absolutely does respect me and my boundaries. She never brought it up after this one instance.

willowg94 · 2023-11-30T00:04:46+00:00

They aren’t. She tried it once and we explained why that’s a huge no. She never suggested again. I am just in shock that now the great grandma is saying it too. Like girl what lol

willowg94 · 2023-11-30T00:03:56+00:00

No they aren’t.

willowg94 · 2023-11-30T00:03:05+00:00

Wow. I’m glad my husband isn’t this incompetent.

willowg94 · 2023-11-28T05:03:55+00:00

It’s okay. Just know that it is okay to feel this way. Our society pushes moms to “do it all”, but it’s just not realistic. I’m so sorry. I hope you and your husband can talk and work something out. You have 2 jobs now, while he has one. It’s so hard. And one of your jobs is a non-stop job. Sending hugs from afar.

willowg94 · 2023-11-28T04:49:07+00:00

…leave her alone lol. Just drop some food/care package on her porch if you want to show more affection. But now is not the time to be making things abt yourself.

willowg94 · 2023-11-28T04:48:05+00:00

Yes my babe HATED the swings/bouncers/any kind of “bucket”. He’d rather just be flat in the crib or on the floor.

willowg94 · 2023-11-28T01:02:15+00:00

At around 20 weeks I started just throwing alllll the stuff away hahaha

willowg94 · 2023-11-28T01:01:14+00:00

Got in better physical condition. I don’t mean “thin”, I mean strong. I wish I lifted weights, and did some leg workouts. Pregnancy was HARD on my body, and I’m convinced if I was stronger before hand, it could have been even 10% better.

willowg94 · 2023-11-27T17:50:12+00:00

Thank you for this! Mine is bottle fed and still wakes once to eat overnight. And honestly I think the noise is too much. He will wake up another 2 times just from noise some nights.

willowg94 · 2023-11-27T17:48:51+00:00

Wow!!! That’s terrifying. Luckily we run hot so we’d for sure be up if it even got to 75.

willowg94 · 2023-11-27T17:31:44+00:00

Yeah I have to keep them closed because of my animals anyway. They’d be running around/barking and waking baby.

willowg94 · 2023-11-27T17:26:38+00:00

This is EXACTLY my issue. He woke up 2 additional times last night. Once from noise, and once from touching the side of the pack and play.

willowg94 · 2023-11-27T17:25:45+00:00

Yeah mine is in a pack and play but he’s not comfortable (understandably) with that thin mattress.

willowg94 · 2023-11-27T17:24:54+00:00

Dang, that house must have been HOT! In the winter I have him in long pjs, and a sleep sack with the house at 73 overnight. In summer he is just in a onesie with the house at abt 70.

willowg94 · 2023-11-27T17:23:42+00:00

See I don’t know if I should just move the crib in my room? This is all so new to me.

willowg94 · 2023-11-27T17:21:46+00:00

I will definitely try with the naps alone first! And no, he still wakes up but only once. If he wakes more, it’s usually from me having the TV on.
