I feel like there have been a lot of posts about gross baby/toddler shirts, so I thought it would be fun to share the good ones!

What age to take kid to a library?

I’m considering taking my son to our local library (he’s 1 1/2). He’s really interested in books and I’d like to foster that love as early as possible since I loved to read from an early age as well. I’ve looked at our library’s website but I’m just not sure how much there is for kids his age. I’m also looking to get out of the house and do something fun and (preferably) free with AC. I don’t feel safe taking him to a park to play or mall to walk around by myself, I usually am alone since his dad works 12 he shifts and down my get home until after our son goes to bed. What age did you guys start taking your kids to a library and did they enjoy it?

I heard this recently "Children are natural mimics who act like their parents despite every effort to teach them good manners." #truth

TAKE YOUR FUCKING STOOL SOFTENERS

I had the worst bowel movement of my life. I was literally crying and wondering if I would need to go to the ER to get the shit removed out of me. It took me about 30 minutes to finally get everything out, and the whole time I was sweating and in agony. If you're reading this, please go drink a big cup of water. Take your stool softeners. I know it's so hard to take care of yourself when you have a tiny human that needs you 24/7, but you don't want to go through this. Here's hoping I didn't get a massive hemorrhoid 😭😭😞😞😞😞😞😞

Just ran my 5k in under 34 minutes for the first time since getting pregnant

That’s all. It’s not an awesome time compared to real runners but six weeks ago I couldn’t have finished a 5k without walking, and I feel really good about it as a physical and personal milestone that has nothing to do with a) weight loss or b) kids

We spoke to a range of nutrition and pregnancy experts to find out which foods really are best to steer clear from to avoid harm to you and your baby. https://t.co/jSVplRegoy

New mom here. Is this grunting normal? My baby does this constantly throughout the night. Is he just working on a BM or should I be concerned?

I made my son a little baby gym, but don't know what to put on it!

So, like the title says, I made the frame for a baby gym and have a little plastic bee from when my daughter was little but need more stuff to add onto it for a four month old. Any suggestions? [This is the gym I made](https://imgur.com/a/XrFswVo)
