@morirach I used to weigh and track everything I ate and after, realized I had been way under eating and completely effed up my metabolism. Focusing on a healthy relationship with food, satiety, and listening to my body for the first time in my adult life allowed my body to recover from years of...

@brhjz This is one of our main reasons! Everything has been great. LO is a happy toddler and was an easy baby. No way lightning strikes twice!

@breanne Me! I didn’t enjoy pregnancy but it was easy by all accounts. Labor and delivery were smooth and pretty fast for a FTM. Recovery was a breeze. LO was an easy, happy baby who slept through the night at 3 months. She’s been a delightful toddler. Truly can’t ask for a better kid. We are so...

@alf54way Hi! Someone else asked, so I’m just pasting my answer, but happy to answer any questions. It was a long journey tbh. I would consider myself as having had an ED, though I was never diagnosed. It was very hard for me to give up tracking, so I worked on my metabolism with macro...

@celoxisppm I was big into the bodybuilding community, so I picked a coaching group of registered dietitians who also trained bodybuilders. I had been following them for a while on IG and their clients looked amazing and often showed calorie levels I couldn’t believe (surely I’d gain 500lbs if I...

@rebecca25 I always remind people, HR is there to protect the company, not you.

@celoxisppm It was a long journey tbh. I would consider myself as having had an ED, though I was never diagnosed. It was very hard for me to give up tracking, so I worked on my metabolism with macro tracking first. Worked with a coach who slowly got me from 1100 calories to 2400, cut back down...

@celoxisppm I had to fix my metabolism after years of restricting and tracking - once I did that, the weight fell off on its own. Love that you’re focusing on a healthy relationship with food! That’s been the best thing for me too.

@badone We had planned that we’d start trying assuming I’d still be traveling for work a lot, but covid happened so I didn’t have to travel at all while I was pregnant. Honestly I’m SO glad it worked out that way because I was miserably sick from week 5-15ish. We were house hunting during my...

@eric2015 Not rubbish, my toddler loves doing things around the house!

@987abc LO is in daycare FT. We live in a VHCOLA and pay $25/hour for date night babysitting. Worth every penny! We don’t call; babysitter knows to call us if there’s something concerning or she has a question.

@tiltv4 My husband is the baby of three with those age gaps with his older siblings. He’s VERY close to the middle sib, not very close to the oldest, but personality wise, he and the oldest are very different. My siblings and I have the “ideal” gaps you mentioned wishing you had and we’re not...

@msaved56 I’m the same way! I work a hybrid schedule, so days I commute, I’m up at 530 to get ready in time to make the dreaded journey. On WFH days, I am less polished and sleep in until 6, if my body lets me. My LO is now a toddler, but has always been on a later schedule (730ish), which helps...

@renette We didn’t really have a timeline until recently. DH wants us to decide by the time LO is 4. Personally, I don’t think I’ll change my mind (he is the one wavering on OAD) but I told him I would keep an open mind.

@samanthaadams Definitely relate! Though my unicorn baby is now a very spirited toddler lol. LO is incredible and I wouldn’t want to be focusing on another baby when I can be in the chaos and fun with my only.

@abbagirl2017 Can totally relate to this!

@margrethe I would open a separate HYSA and have some portion of your paycheck direct deposited to build savings just for you that he doesn’t know about.

@1stjohn0666 We do not live near any of our family and my husband has similar leave as yours (I have more). We use 2 of DH’s 3 weeks to visit family, 1 to go on our own vacation. My family comes to visit us usually twice a year and his we offer to fly out for LO’s birthday. I would definitely...

@walid373 I had an easy pregnancy, easy birth, easy recovery (PPA, but only a few months thankfully and I have a great therapist), supportive spouse and the financial resources to have another if we wanted. LO was an easy baby and is a happy toddler. Really, everything points to it being an easy...

@sisi It definitely did. I’m much closer to the non-favorite sibling, who feels the same way. Working on improving my relationship with the favorite; I know it’s not my sibling’s fault, but it’s harder to do that now that we’re all busy adults with our own lives.
