Not to be rude but on the babes forehead. What is it?

It’s called a hemangioma. It’s a pretty common type of birth mark. It’s a collection of blood vessels that popped up a few days after she was born but has stopped growing now. Usually the body reabsorbs them by the time they get to around 5. We were pretty concerned when it first popped up but thankfully nothing serious (they can sometimes cause complications but hers won’t) and it doesn’t hurt her. Now it’s hard to imagine her without it! They are sometimes called strawberry birthmarks 🍓🥰

Great work!! We found that once the initial hesitancy period is over and the splashing starts, bathtime was (and still is) like a trip to Waterworld!!

We were told to use our elbows to test water temp, 30 years ago we didn’t have those ducks. I used a smaller bath in our big bath, so lots less water. Both my boys loved baths, except for the first time we did it in the hospital. When I had my first one I was in hospital a week, how things change!

Wow! I was in hospital for a week too but I know that is definitely a lot longer than normal these days. I know people who have been out the same day! 🤯 i feel so lucky to have had all the time and support I got in hospital. So happy Emily is finally enjoying bath time!!

The plastic tub we were using just sprung a leak. Might need one of these, how long will the baby fit? Stella is 15 weeks.
@themcsaras
@themcsaras 7 күн бұрын
You can actually use them up to about 2 years of course this depends how fast Stella grows. My brother had pretty chunky bubbas so I don’t think it lasted them as long as that. But a good while! I believe they also used it for all 3 kids so it’s definitely built to last.

You are allowed to ramble. Just know that you can read as much stuff as you want, but you will find your own way of doing things, and that’s ok. It’s good you can support each other and keep talking. I always found that I didn’t have much to talk about when my partner came home as days are mostly the same. You definitely need friends or family to feed off so you have some mental stimulation through the day. If someone comes around, take advantage and nip for a shower or something, make the most of your visitors, they won’t mind having a cuddle. Just know also that you both are doing fine with Emily, she’s obviously thriving, and that’s all that matters for now. My first baby is 30 this month and I still worry if he’s ok lol.

One in three people experience it to some extent after childbirth, regardless of how they deliver. I thought was a mindblowingly large percentage and also it was comforting to know I wasn’t alone. That’s so good you didn’t have to go through it ❤️

It goes fast in hindsight and in the moment it's also eternal. Things are definitely shit some of the times and that's ok. I remember feeling like I was wasting my life putting the kids to bed (they took a looooong time every night for years and years, still do sometimes) I love them unconditionally, have the most wonderful time with them and have gotten to know anger and impatience like never before. It's a journey.

@themcsaras Ай бұрын
And isn’t it wonderful that we are able to be honest about all the aspects of the journey, not just the family fun times 😌🥰❤️ I heard the other day about how much pressure is put on kids to fall asleep so easily and perfectly but how many adults do we know that can fall asleep without some kind of help - a book, a little scroll, a cup of tea, whatever it may be. It makes sense that kids need some time too. But yeah, being patient with that seems like a fun challenge to look forward to. 😆❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is a friendly reminder to put the cute outfits on before they grow out of them - I mean… to make the most of every moment etc etc etc. This seriously is going so fast though. So slow at times though but so bloody fast. 🤯 This was 9 weeks with our Emily Joan. We bought this little outfit the day of our first embryo transfer as a special way to mark the day and we told ourselves the baby we end up with will wear these transfer day outfits one day. A special little outfit and so glad we remembered to put it on her two whole times… 👀 We were so lucky that Emily was the second and final embryo from two rounds of egg retrievals. 💜💜💜💜💜💜

I met my now wife after leaving my then husband. Coming out in the 80’s wasn’t really the done thing, so I conformed to the norms, got married to a man and had 2 boys. I left the husband, who wasn’t a very nice person, in June 2002, my boys were nearly 5 and 8, I was 32, I met my now wife in the August of 2002, She lived 50 miles away. Mum was pretty shocked I was gay, I had no idea why lol, I thought the signs were obvious enough like my wife appearing every weekend lol. We bought a house and we all moved the 50 miles to where she lived. We got married in 2008 and we now have a 2 year old grandson. Enjoy your baby, they don’t stay little for very long! ❤️🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧
