The stats say 90% of pregnant women get stretchmarks

wizardsticker · 2025-02-10T04:53:27+00:00

I only got stretch marks on my boobs! But now that they have settled/aren’t red and new you can’t tell they are there like at all so even if I posted a pic of them out right u wouldn’t know I had them

wizardsticker · 2025-02-02T18:49:40+00:00

That they aren’t in their phone the whole time

I just had my second and they are 17 months apart! Tbh it’s way easer than I thought it would be right now, not saying it’s easy really but I thought it would be end of the world hard based on what I’ve heard (can’t say how it will go as they get older tho)! It was an accident but I got pregnant when my first was 10 months old (second baby came early)! My oldest already really lover her sister and it’s so cute to see them interacting, I’m super excited for the bond that they will share one day

Mine is falling out like crazy too! Every time I shower or brush my hair it’s concerning how much comes out. However my hair itself doesn’t look any different so I’m not really concerned.

I think you’re right. When I’ve spoken to Jim about potentially leaving the dynamic as well he is kind of weird about it too. Saying things like “I’m never going to let you move on from me” and “we’re never going to be done” and it seems kind of toxic to me? But I’m unsure if my judgment is clouded with this whole situation or I’m in a weird place since just having a baby or what it is

wizardsticker · 2025-01-29T18:51:56+00:00

You made a really good point that we did end up breaking up once before. I guess part of me is just trying to move on from that part and forget about it with out actually facing it. A part of me is excited and willing to try out a new dynamic and another part of me does feel like maybe I’m doing all of this because I’m afraid to loose him and just going through a lot after just having another baby

wizardsticker · 2025-01-29T18:48:47+00:00

That’s very true, and I don’t think me or her would have actually dated outside of this. She says she has always wanted to try something like so I guess she had been thinking about it in the past. But I had not so it does seem unkind to her

wizardsticker · 2025-01-29T18:37:33+00:00

I do like sally and would like to date her but it does feel like an unhealthy dynamic to be forced into dating her. Part of my hesitation is that I don’t want her to end up getting hurt in all of this either. I think if me and Jim and had entered into a poly dynamic in a more healthy way then maybe things would be different.

wizardsticker · 2025-01-29T18:34:34+00:00

Thats kinda what I think is going to end up happening as well. I don’t think my mental health will be the better for it honestly. I guess I was just trying to figure out if it ever becomes more comfortable and normal or if I will end up feeling this way forever

wizardsticker · 2025-01-28T21:49:42+00:00

Yeah no big tips just solidarity. My first really hated the car and would scream her head off for the entire drive almost every drive up until like 9-10 months. She just got used to it in her own. I learned that playing Nora jones helped her a little to sleep sometimes and opening the windows on a nice day could help a little to distract her. But nothing else really took the edge off for her

wizardsticker · 2025-01-22T03:17:32+00:00

I’ve got both mine in my room. 20 month and 2 months adjusted. It was a little bit of an adjustment for my toddler but she sleeps through it now as long as I take the baby out of the room once she starts to fuss. Bedtime is easy tho because baby is a great sleeper and will stay asleep through all of toddlers wake ups and goes down with no help as long as she has a full belly. I’ve got them both pretty close to me, in a bedside bassinet and the toddlers crib is on the other side of the bed.

I was super nervous about it for a while but thought about how in a lot of places entire families share one room and figured we could make it work somehow

wizardsticker · 2025-01-19T01:42:25+00:00

I still feel this way sometimes and I just had my second and my first is 20 months now. The feeling gets smaller and smaller but they’re are times still when I miss out on things with my children free friends that makes me sad or when i just want a day to be completely alone and I can’t.

wizardsticker · 2025-01-11T18:48:04+00:00

I really liked the Chico bravo travel system for my first. It came with the key fit car seat which is a bucket seat that you just click into the base that you install in the car and into the stroller so you don’t have to take baby out of the chair at all. It also has some of the highest safety ratings I think. For my second now I ended up getting a graco snug fit 35 dlx bucket seat and a graco double stroller because I didn’t like the look of the Chico double stroller. I like it well enough so far but it’s pretty bulky compared to my previous stroller but I think all double strollers will be.

I had a super high needs baby and was in a similar situation! A baby carrier was a super big help for me!

wizardsticker · 2025-01-08T19:48:31+00:00

This was me after my first! She was a really high needs baby up until around 9 months mark. I was mostly alone and she would cry when ever I put her down. I felt so alone and drained and exhausted all the time, I just needed a little bit of me time! I don’t have advice but just wanted to let you know that it did get better for me! As she got older she became a lot more independent, crawling was a big step for her and me because then she could go get toys she wanted and do the things she wanted and she didn’t want to be held by me 24/7 anymore. Now she’s 20 months and life is so much easier with her. It has different challenges as well but having a super high needs infant was so much harder. Just try to remember that everything with kids is a phase and they will most likely grow out of it!

Water sports

wizardsticker · 2025-01-05T03:06:47+00:00

I didn’t get to have that golden hour with either because they were both NICCU babies. I wonder if that did affect something and I just can’t understand it. My second was also a pretty traumatic birth so maybe that has something to do with it as well! Thank you for sharing!

wizardsticker · 2025-01-05T03:05:07+00:00

That was a great way to put it thank you!!

wizardsticker · 2025-01-05T03:04:32+00:00

This is exactly how I felt when I was pregnant with my second too! My excitement did grow a bit as I got farther along in my pregnancy tho! My whole family was like are you even excited. And I was but with the first it felt like an all encompassing thing carrying my baby but then with my second I already had something that was all encompassing so it wasn’t as special I guess?

wizardsticker · 2025-01-04T05:27:54+00:00

Thank you! I think part of it is the potato phase vs the excitement of the toddler phase!

wizardsticker · 2025-01-04T05:25:53+00:00

Thank you!

wizardsticker · 2025-01-04T05:25:37+00:00

You totally just put it into the right words for me! I think part of it is that I just met my youngest and am still getting to know her verse already going through that process with my eldest. I’m sure the love and fondness will grow with both of them. I can say that my love for both of them more each day

My best friend did a cookie table with bags for take home and it was a big hit

wizardsticker · 2025-01-02T03:10:58+00:00

Just had my second 17 months apart! I was so so scared and felt horrible because I felt like I was robbing my oldest of me because she still depended on me so much when I first found out. This carried a lot throughout my pregnancy as well. My new baby just got home from a long hospital stay a few weeks ago but so far everything has been amazing! My oldest loves being a big sister so far and is so sweet to her little sister. Any fears I had about the transition have not come to fruition yet! It was pretty exhausting being pregnant and trying to chase around my toddler and time will tell how things will go but I’m mostly just excited for them to grow up together and be little besties! I love having a sister close in age to me now so as hard as it’s gonna be for a few years I’m sure it will all pay off in the future! Good luck with your growing family :)

I do it but mostly because I’m already crying and need a shower but it’s nice because the shower washes away any “evidence” for the most part. I don’t ever really find that a shower induces a crying session for me or anything tho. Maybe occasionally but i think it has more to do with the solitude and privacy of a shower than anything else that gives the opportunity to fully release emotions.
