New baby and post birth advice #40: All I want for Christmas is a good nights sleep

[WhatABore]

Took partner fishing early this morning and just came to my Mums for lunch.
Was at my Mums for about 15 minutes before I get a text saying "I'm cold, can you come pick me up"

Fml.

We have no food in the house and the words "I could make us a lentil, ham soup" actually just came out of my mouth. Suffice to say, OH nearly divorced me before we've even wed.

Wtf I found a cucumber that had been half frozen and defrosted and I rejoiced. Mini Waka had the good part with some frozen food for lunch

“No, put your Fanny flaps around you to keep you warm. See you at 3”

I've picked him up, taken him home and come back to mums again cause I can't be dealing with the constant moaning

I do think herd mentality is a scary one. My kids will join the chaos if it’s started by someone else.

It really is. It was peaceful before they came then the arguments and tears started. Fml

I wonder how many of you hussies will be back in the pregnancy thread in 2023?

I want another so badly right now but I honestly don’t know if it will ever happen. We have one embryo left in the freezer for IVF and if it didn’t work I think that will be us

What has he done wrong to you on the 1st of the year already?

Sending you love . We’ve got two frozen left and I think we’re going to try those this year (depending on what the doctor says about risks of another premature birth) and then if not we are done as well.

Wishing us both lots of baby dust! Hopefully we get our wish

Sort of on the topic of hair loss, the regrowth is literally making me want to pull my hair out! I have inch long tufts right the way round the front of my hairline, it looks horrendous. The rest of my hair is waist length and mostly gets tied back cos of little grabby hands meaning the tufts are on full display!!

This is literally me I look ridiculous. Proper tufty club

For the love of God please don’t do this to yourself - did you learn nothing from Soup Gate 2022?!

I’ve just eaten a mini pizza I found in the fridge that went out on date on the 27th. I have no regrets but if I disappear you all know why 🪦 ain’t no way I’m making soup for lunch

Don't worry we are safe, OH has quite literally hidden the lentils knowing I'm too lazy to look for them so crisis averted

Let's pray that this year doesn't continue the way it's started because if it does that means I'll just sit in chaos while the other three members of my household shout/scream/whinge and occasionally hit someone else (3yo only.... No need to worry, KW isn't throwing any punches).
Why are they all so miserable?!

So after the bed discussion the other day, I've been looking at toddler beds and of course I want one that looks like a tipi or house with the wooden frame, but they are not cheap!

Do any of you have recommendations for beds?

If you or your OH are handy (or grandparents etc) you could do this easily. We used the ikea kura as a floor bed, in this set up, but you could easily add the extra bits to make it a house

Oh that's amazing. And for once the OH would be handy, he could do this! Thank you, I will have a look properly x

I never bothered with a toddler bed, just went straight to a normal single. They outgrow toddler sized mattresses by age 5ish, and I don’t want to buy beds that often
