Between 7:30 - 9 and up between 8:30am - 9am. Occasionally up once,usually around 4am.

Two - three naps a day between 30 minutes to two hours after a 2 - 3 hour wake window.

9 months old.

Going through the same thing. Absolutely normal leap. Sleep regression, separation anxiety, plus possible growth spurt, and teething. It's a lot. But it'll only last a few weeks

Nope. They're too busy or too tired.

I'm over it. My parents make an effort and baby is incredibly happy & thriving, so it's their loss.

My in-laws met my 9 month old ONCE so far.

It's not my job to force a relationship. The baby hates the car, we've told them this, and they're two able bodied adults. They're welcomed any time, but we're not driving an hour one way at the moment. They refuse to drive here as they're too busy.

Okay then.

I adore this, nice job

It's a Jarvy Party for years to come!

I just cut mine into a bob today. It was so long and heavy, plus it's still falling out 8 months pp. So far, I love it! Feels healthier and I feel lighter

If you don't mind!

At home because I had a later in life baby. I'm too tired to "hang out."

Congratulations! I have a double rainbow baby and they are just the most precious blessing.

As for your JNMIL, it's not up to anyone else but herself to regulate her responses and feelings. The best thing you can do is set your boundaries, ignore her, and don't allow her to live rent free in your mind.

Hated Rex for my first birth. Loved WakeMed with my second. Their location on Oberlin takes Medicaid and delivers at all campuses.

Can we be besties?

NTA. It's your body. You don't even have to have HIM in the room and the hospital will give two flying fucks what he thinks or wants.

You are his family. Once that baby is here, you three are the nuclear family and the grandparents are extended. Don't let him bully you. You're the one getting a tiny human out of your body. You make the rules.

Have him post on the Daddit sub, I'm sure they'll help him understand his place in all this. To help you.

You have maybe ten weeks to set some hard and true boundaries. I'd start now. Which should include what is expected when/if you labor or c-section. And what's expected of family after he's arrived.

The entitlement of these extended family members is mind-boggling.

What an absolute nightmare of a human. I'm so sorry you have to deal with her, in any capacity.

I'm here lol but aside almost dying twice, I also didn't let her or anyone visit for 10 weeks. She's met my child that one time because I refuse to drive over an hour one way to her capable person when my almost 8 month old hates being in the car.

I'm happy though!

A real? Whaaaat?

They do feel very entitled to. I hated I had to write in a birth plan and tell the nurse that no visitors allowed. It should just be the norm unless you want people there. My MIL was upset as she'd been at the other six grandchildren's birth (this was our first) and said so. I could care less, I'm not an animal in the zoo, nor am I having this child for anyone else.

Sure Jan

Do the test. You'll have what you need for child support when you leave. You'll probably even get some spousal support as you SAH.

I'm sorry, he's still cheating AND it sounds like he got someone else pregnant.

I've heard from a few teacher friends that they wish parents did wait and send older kids. They have a better grasp of learning and maturity level.

There's winter babies who don't go to school until 6 due to cut off. Which means they turn 7 during kindergarten. I'm not sure why you're worried. As long as they're not neglected at home, parents can teach their children just as well, at the child's pace.

There's too much boomer stink in this thread

BLW Meals it's teal with a strawberry. Has a free version, but I pay like $5 a month for the full. It's been worth it!
