baby is due in 3 weeks. i'm cooking 4kg of curry chicken, next weekend 5kg of bolognese. this is following the advice of some people in the thread.

i can't believe there's only 3 week-ends to go before she sticks her nose out! i'm excited as ever!

we had the freezer loaded up with various casseroles and it owned. not sure if it’s been discussed ITT but if they offer to keep baby in the little nursery thing for the night, hop on that and get some sleep if possible. being a new parent is hard enough, no need to be sleep deprived right off the bat if you can avoid it

I found my old Thomas the tank engine trains and rails and gave them to the kids and they’re obsessed

do they still make these? I could only find the plastic ones instead of the wooden ones, and my wife said the last time she saw them was at something called Noodle Kidoodle when she was a kid

I’m not sure I would do it different knowing what I know, but our eldest did not sleep very well her first night. my go-to technique for calming a baby was and is “hold them and sway, walk, or dance in place.” it worked to get her to go to sleep, but she would wake up 8-20 minutes later, again and again.

It’s a hell of a memory and documented by fitness tracker data, but having our daughter go be watched by nurses probably would have been fine + the extra sleep would not have hurt.

kind of like the kid showed up and was like, “yo, you work for me now”

our youngest, on the other hand, slept so peacefully his first night that I was, in contrast to my first experience, afraid something was wrong lol

I am very concerned that our newest due in December is going to give me the Normal Tiny Baby experience instead of the two “I sleep through the night by 8 weeks old” experiences I’ve had, and now that I’m four years older it will be much more of a challenge than it would have been back then :ohdear:

my sister was lucky enough to have a super easy baby for #1 but #2 was completely different, almost as tough as our #1 (and likely only). just be prepared for anything.

our kid is slated to be a boy. i feel bad for feeling slight disappointment, like i wanted a girl kind of. like god, another one of me walking around wth is this?

anyway, we had an ultrasound checkup recently and the tech printed out a picture with "it's a boy!" on it and a cursor pointing at the penis. i don't really need a picture of my boy's penis pointed out on the ultrasound but what can you do. most of the other pictures are cute, but seeing all the bones, the brain, and everything else was very weird.

the best bit is when you can see all teeth in their tiny head. turns out babies' heads are like 80% teeth

my 11yo has stormed off from his mothers house to his nanas and his mother (my ex wife) texted me and said he’s being a prick

how come he’s never a prick when he’s with me huh?

of course it’s never truly this simple but I really think she’s hitting a brick wall with her approach to him and she’s not backing down and it’s just not a productive nor healthy approach. she needs to take him where he’s at and work with him and support him, not stand steadfast and never concede and get him to the point he’s messaging me saying he hates it there and doesn’t want to go back
