you will be amazed by how much you can get done, on so little sleep

do what works best for your family

Thank you! A friend gave us starter a few weeks back, so I figured I'd learn how to bake bread. I haven't figured out how to shape and score the dough well, but after a few overproofed attempts, the texture and taste finally came out right!

Homemade sourdough, brie, apricot jam, and a cappuccino.

I'm pleased because this bread is from my most successful sourdough loaf to date.

when you want it.. you want it!

Congrats!! I guess the first thing I’d offer is to consider doing a home birth with a midwife. Each time it was a beautiful and much more peaceful experience for all of us.

If you are in a hospital at least have them delay cutting the cord until it stops pulsing, and avoid the ‘cascade of interventions’ as best you can (the Business of Being Born is a doc that’s well worth watching).

I wish you good health and a smooth pregnancy!!

I have maybe the “unpopular opinion” that time with a baby *slows down.* Even in memory. Our first baby is 1yo. Each day is so full, it feels impossible that the next will be just as full. And because each month, baby is so different, each month feels pressed with its own unique character.

Also, be prepared for lots of media to hit different. “Children in danger” themes/scenes became harder to watch. Finding Nemo is now unwatchable for me. Idk maybe it will smooth out with time.

I also found that baby forced us into a ruthless economy with time. I’ve never been so efficient at work.

Congratulations! Welcome back. Long days and short years. Try to cherish every moment. I wish you the best in the rest of your pregnancy and a smooth and uneventful delivery 🫂💜

Hola Karo 👋

Congrats 👏

Get earplugs. Seriously. Anyway enjoy the early time periods. It seems to just keep getting busier and they need more attention. Baby time period you can control them a bit more. Lots of the baby gadgets are just money grabs. And as cliche as it is, time really does fly since they grow so fast.

Congrats!!

Just know that it’ll be tough at first but it’ll get better. Also beware that when you get used to a phase, a new one will begin.

Congrats 💜 that’s wonderful news

bull?

Wow, congrats! Huge!

My advice:

- It'll be fine

- Don't buy a bunch of stuff, most will be not used anywhere near as much as you think

- Enjoy it. Goes by fast!
