Gotta catch those sweet little yawns from start to finish. via wadaniart

Growing up, I was always getting in trouble for talking too much, being too loud, & not being “calm,” as the other little girls. As an adult, I’ve literally made a career out of speaking up and motivating people. Loud girls make a difference. Don't silence them.

MRI Today

I am a FTM (23) and my son (5 months) is getting an MRI done today because he was born with a hole about 2cm above his anus and his pediatrician was worried that it was to close to his spinal cord or a cyst would develop or get infected in general. Im sitting here waiting for the imaging to get done and its nerve wracking. The whole morning was rough, he was hangry, sleepy, and was in pain from the IV being inserted in... I think tomorrow will be a cuddle in bed all day kind of day

My baby girl died at 1 month old

At just about 1 month old, my sweet baby girl passed away after being in the NICU for quite some time. I am distraught, to say the least. What are ways that I should do to try and cope with this?

I just wanted to find ONE pair that matches...

All playgrounds should be fully fenced in

Now that it's getting a bit warmer, and I'm 24 weeks pregnant, I started taking my tornado toddler to this fully brick fenced in playground with only one gate, outside the rec center a twenty minute drive away. I take the fold up lawn chair out of my car, plop it down and sit and spectate my toddler as they run around. Sometimes I'll sit here as long as two hours while they just run up and down the jungle gym and I can relax knowing as long as I can see them, there's an unlikely chance of them getting grabbed or running into traffic. If I took them to any other playground I basically have to follow them everywhere because they'll ninja vanish the moment you try to sit down.

Savings for the baby

We just had a baby in November. I told spouse I was going to use the tax return to pay of some of the hospital bills. I said today I'd also like to take a little bit and open an acount for daughter and just have it there and make deposits when we can so there's a little fund for her for the future. Maybe college? Maybe if she wants piano lessons or something? Idk just to have for her and only her. He shot it down. Said we're not wealthy enough to do that?? And "I didn't get shit from my parents." I'm not talking like a ton of money just a little bit from the tax return and then add to it when and what we can.. Idk. I think I'll do it anyway. Just frustrated me he doesn't want to have something like this for her. (We're not married)

Does anyone else give themselves a time limit to break down?

I told myself, 'you get 20 minutes to sit on the floor of the shower to cry then get your shit together, there's shit to do'. Because I just spent half the morning researching/debating on the pros and cons of donating plasma for money and searching for a second overnight job on the days I don't have my son to supplement my income. Today I feel like a complete and utter failure..
