@yashar If you’re independently wealthy, insurance isn’t needed. Cash prices are generally 50-60% cheaper than insurance, and you save thousands of dollars you’d put towards premiums/deductibles over many years that can go towards any medical bills you do accrue.

@garonnevik Okay as a SAHM with a busy, curious (but yet also clingy) 15 month old son, this would be incredible. Not that there’s anything wrong with childcare during church/Bible studies, but for it to not be tied to me having to do extra homework to be there - amazing.

Ben is literally the greatest person I have ever voted for three times for a race in which he was not running

@potatoslav Just went through this - honestly without sounding tacky, just ask for money to set aside. Or if anything, have people go in on a bigger gift like a ball pit or pickler triangle for development. They don’t know if they don’t get lots of gifts this birthday

@mrsdobbins_ I do multiple books from the Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site and Little Blue Truck series regularly, and my one year old son LOVES any from the Peekaboo series.

@stoolpresidente Skip the spaghetti factory. It’s meh. Other places recommended here are better - Buca, Mama Carollas, Iozzos, maggianos, convivio,

@thecavemommy lol literally bought my 9 month old a whisk and measuring spoons for Christmas this year and he loved it. He got other toys from family members but honestly plays with the “real life” stuff more anyway, and I’ll just add it to the kitchen when he outgrows it

@TiffaniMarie483 I know she feels that too. Don’t be embarrassed, you’re not doing anything wrong! He’ll get it!

[Olivia Clark @olivialuse]

@TiffaniMarie483 Happy to send you a list that I’ve put together of 80s/90s/early-00s kid’s shows that are lower stimulation. I have it organized by streaming service. Just send me a DM!

@Sissa2308 Might have already bought one, but I liked my Konny wrap! Has a head support piece and is more like a “harness” where it doesn’t have to be wrapped and tied and be all complicated. I got the mesh one because my son was a hot baby and it worked well!

[Olivia Clark @olivialuse]

@thegenesisbl0ck Get it used or get a knock off. We had a cheaper version and our son LOVED it…we usually put it with his feet against the couch to kick off of. Maybe the brand name is worth the extra money but I think the cheap ones can get the job done too

@GreatLakesWife_ The only way to do things wrong is to not care if you’re doing things wrong. It is SO hard and this is SO normal. You’re doing great, mama. Every baby has a different temperament. Newborn stage is strictly survival mode - you’ll feel her loving you back before you know it. 🩷

@iWomansplainer We put our baby in his room at 4 weeks. I was hesitant but honestly he did great from the jump and my husband sleeps better…no reason for him to be losing sleep when I was nursing and he couldn’t help anyway. It will likely be harder on you than the baby ❤️

@goinggodward I had a similar experience a few years ago listening to Lauren Daigle’s version. I still have a hard time singing along to it now because it hits different when you “get it”.

[Olivia Clark @olivialuse]

@thegenesisbl0ck My husband stayed up top but honestly I wouldn’t have cared if he didn’t. He saw me wear diapers and leak from my nipples for weeks after. The birth is just the beginning of the most vulnerable you’ll ever be, don’t make it harder by being worried about hiding that vulnerability

[Olivia Clark @olivialuse]

@sangaldoo Happened to my best friend. Wild.

[Olivia Clark @olivialuse]

@oliveegger Mine (8m) has done decent stretches since fairly early on. I just let him sleep. Sometimes if I wake up engorged I’ll pump for 5 or so minutes (not all the way but until discomfort is gone) but then my supply slowly regulated. I don’t have as much extra milk now but have enough

@MikeCosper The fact that this woman works in communications for a living, and was the spokesperson of the literal most powerful man in the world is BONKERS.

[Olivia Clark @olivialuse]

@emilykmay lol I swear I will be saying I’m postpartum for the rest of my life. “Oh, sorry, I’m 13 years postpartum. Brain is still out of whack…” 😂
