If I don’t bring my toddler into the bathroom with me, he stands outside the door yelling over and over “SPECIAL GUY? SPECIAL GUY?” Until I affirm that he is indeed my special guy 😂

@PotluckLauren Honestly such a pet peeve of mine is being expected to shake hands. Especially now as I have a baby in my arms constantly. I end up having to contort to shake a hand to not be rude but I’m on the verge of just being awkward and ignoring it.

I’m 4 weeks postpartum so definitely not fully back at it… but I’m having such a hard time getting back into dinners. Like, I love cooking and I feel good enough to do it, but I can’t think far enough in advance to actually plan and execute dinner regularly. It’s making me crazy

Just (re)discovered this really fun life hack which is that you can make 2 loaves of bread (or more, I’m not your mom) at once and then bake them and slice and freeze whatever you won’t eat in the next couple of days so that you don’t have to make bread as frequently.

Little known fact… the term “cold shoulder” is actually based on my current situation bc my baby won’t stop trying to taste my shoulder every time I hold him. I am damp and therefore cold.

@littlebillie After I gave birth my midwife was like “what do you want to do with your placenta? Pills? Tincture? Plant it?” And I was like 😬 trash? So then she put it in the freezer “just in case” 😂 it was in the garbage as soon as she left.

My favorite thing about all this drama is how many assumptions people are making based off of 1 grocery trip. My grocery trips are so unbalanced. The last one had chocolate chips (2 types), juice, frozen corn, and poptarts. But the trip before that was exclusively meat.

@harmonizedgrace This is so real. My husband and I are extreme homebodies and going *out* on dates is not our idea of fun. But some of our sweetest connecting time as new parents has been in the evening after the children go to bed just hanging out on the couch and laughing about the day together

@milagracesmom That doesn’t sound right.. have you double checked the height and weight maximums of the seat? Maybe you can adjust the straps/take out newborn inserts? I don’t think we switched my son till closer to 11 months. And he’s a little taller than average.

Forget about the “terrible twos” I feel like my son is in his “tornado twos.” It takes him maybe 10 seconds to make a giant mess in every room he enters. It’s like he has a gift for finding things to scatter throughout the room as quickly as possible 😂

@mypillowgorl I’m struggling with this too, my son is 20 months and we co-sleep but we have another coming in September (Lord willing) so I will definitely need to change something. We only have 1 bedroom for all of us atm so it’s definitely a puzzle.

@PetiteNicoco Yes!!! It’s terrible for their speech development. They need to be able to see how mouths move so they can learn to form words. And it affects their social skills bc they can’t see peoples’ facial reactions. Just a mess all around.

K I got my husband McDonalds breakfast for early Father’s Day (I know, seed oils, don’t yell at me) and it was WILDLY EXPENSIVE 🫣 I can’t believe how much it was? Like for $5 more he could have gotten real food at a sit down restaurant? People eat this on the regular? How?

Holding my sweet baby in my arms and contemplating how fleeting life is. My grandpa passed away today and it’s wild to think that decades ago his mom held him in her arms as a baby, just like I’m doing with my son. And then a couple decades later he held my mom. Life is a vapor.

Son is on an only carbs kick so I tricked him into protein for his lunch by making him an “egg rice pancake” rice (made with bone broth) mixed up with eggs and shredded cheese and then fried in butter till golden on both sides. So yummy!
