My mom asked me to make roasted carrots and corn pudding. American south 

7w today and 2w until 1st ultrasound

Please be ok

I am catholic :D I’m responding to the why we don’t worship her prompt

She can’t forgive sins

6.5 and I’m SO HUNGRY ALL THE TIME

Yes! Sometimes I think the bladder is just too full and pushing on something and when the pees gone it cramps back up lol

Glad you said something! I’ve worked on dental offices before and there are so many unhealthy dynamics there when there’s one older male dentist and a bunch of younger female assistants. Just the power dynamics and trips they can get into can become scary.

Frankly probably kinda sus illegal ? That he fired you over that but hey I wouldn’t want to stick around anyways so

Think about your plans for the future too bc lots of times 2 under 2 for instance will totally eat up one persons income with daycare costs.

It’s all very hard and I wish you the best 🙏

I wonder if the daycare might offer you a discounted rate? Sometimes catholic schools will if you look into it?

Is there any work from home or remote work opportunity for either of you? That might give you more flexibility. Although I’m a sahm and it’s gotta be tricky doing both!

Very nice of her family to help out.

If it’s an option for you, I’d maybe look at secular daycares as well. Their prices might be better and have similar care. I’m totally with you on catholic school being important but if I had to choose to prioritize when I’d focus on later in my child’s life. They’ll pick up the faith from you at home just fine when they’re super little.

We were eating dinner last night and husb said to LC “Mamas eating for 2!” (He’s too little to talk much really or get this statement lol). I feel bad but I just said “…allegedly” like I can’t bring myself to get excited anymore or even believe it. I just feel like I was tricked last time and stupid for letting myself be tricked. I hate that I can’t be as happy as I was before my mmc anymore.

6.4 today just knocking the days out one at a time. I just really want to make it to my first ultrasound. I really wish I knew what was going on and if my baby’s ok or not. A mmc really does a number on your mind bc you just think “oh I was carrying a dead baby for so long and had no idea, why would this be any different?”

6.3 let’s keep it going please 🙏

I’m wary of YouTube in general even though it can have good content just bc I know the suggested stuff can get really weird really fast. We stick to tv but I live watching tv w him

So many of my friends had a bumpy road to marriage like we’re engaged young but had engagements broken, we’re going to be in religious life but didn’t, were stuck dating forever.

Some people get lucky and meet the right person early on and for some it takes longer. It’s definitely worth waiting for the right person even if they come into your life later.

Just want you to know my brother got in trouble for this around the same age and he turned out ok so it’s not the end of the world lol :)

But yeah I’m his case another kid was asking him to do it bc they thought it was funny nothing weird but ya know. May be worth asking if someone’s peer pressuring him or if he really is doing it of his own initiative. Kids want to be people pleasers w their peers ofc

It’s a scary time. I tried to teach and watch him very closely doing it so I could stop and say “ouch” “dangerous” or something.

I personally never bought anything for it but we were intentional about keeping doors closed for a while. Now it’s not really an issue. It passed pretty quickly

I’m with you on this. I get the wanting to give them flexibility when they get older but I’ve almost never seen anyone switch to their more formal name after going by a nickname their whole life. At that point it’s just kinda ingrained.

Every time someone asks me how I’m doing I’m like idk I guess I’m not bleeding yet? If that means anything

I have a headache and acne and some (thankfully) clear cervical mucus today but even still I’m freaking out that these are bad signs. Everything I read is like THATS NORMAL. But brain after mmc is broken beyond repair.

April 21st is my first scan at 9w. I wish they could get me in sooner. I’m 6.2 today and want to make it to that appt so badly

Being a sahm has its own challenges for sure but yeah I hated my job before I had my son. Grateful every day I don’t have to be there

I’m in week 6 now and just really hoping we can make it through and gear a good heartbeat apr 21st. It’s so long to wait through the worst mc weeks. My MMC died at 6.1

Hate the “replacement” stuff too. Different babies. Different people. Simple as.
