GTKY: What's your favorite children's book?
Re: Weekly Check-In Week Of 07/18
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: Anyone else on iron? The supplements always mess with my digestion, so Iโm going to have to do Colace regularly, too.ย
GTKY: What's your favorite children's book? For little ones, Goodnight Moon will always be a favorite since Iโve read it to each of my babies and still do. For bigger kiddos, Matilda by Roald Dahl.ย
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐:ย I got my breast pump from health insurance and signed up for a few classes, but that is really the area I feel most unprepared.ย Besides an online class is there something else I should be doing to prepare?ย ย
GTKY: What's your favorite children's book? As a kid I loved There's An Alligator Under My Bed and with my nephews I loved reading them Shel Silverstein poems.
@sandy5693 Thereโs An Alligator Under My Bed is so goodโone of my girlsโ favorites, too.ย
Rant: Iโm just uncomfortable all the time. I keep having super weird dreams and needing to get up to per multiple times in the night. I know itโs not going to get better or easier either.
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐:ย
GTKY: What's your favorite children's book? The better question is what books do I not get annoyed with reading over and over ๐ I like Goodnight Moon, The Runaway Bunny, Guess How Much I Love You, the Little Blue Truck Books, the Little Red Barn lift a flap book. A book I thought I liked until I had to read it every day for months was Harold and the Purple Crayon.
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐:
GTKY: What's your favorite children's book?ย Where the Wild Things are
rantโฆIโve had bariatric surgery and canโt do the โnormalโ GD screening, so I have to check sugars 4x/day. This morningโs fasting level was a bit high and Iโm worried about having something else to deal with/worry about. Iโm already horribly anxious.
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: who do I need to talk to about potential pros/cons of breastfeeding? I have some health issues and donโt know where to start with questions. Pediatrician or OB?
GTKY: What's your favorite children's book?
hmmโฆI love books by Julia Cook, but thatโs probably because Iโm a social worker haha.
Rant: My mom has been really hitting on nerves recently in many ways, but especially by challenging a boundary I set that I will not get in the car with her driving. I don't have a license, so she keeps wanting to drive me to help out, but she's recovering alcoholic with a history of lying, and she also is an anxious and aggressive driver while sober. Yesterday she was over and guilt tripped me something fierce for not trusting her behind the wheel. It was so upsetting.
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐:ย
GTKY: What's your favorite children's book? I have so many, but one that I recite to DS from memory is Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. As a kid I also loved a series of picture books each focusing on a different magical creature such as fairies, gnomes, etc. I cannot for the life of me remember the publisher or series name but I can picture so many of the illustrations and stories so vividly.
@katiekins029 You might do well to ask through La Leche League International or the International Breastfeeding Clinic (they offer virtual appointments). Your OB may also be able to refer you to a specialist to ask.
Rave: I absolutely love my new car. I'm so happy with no it. I had started telling myself I would be okay driving a gray car but I'm a blue girl and I live in a blue world.ย
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐:ย
GTKY: What's your favorite children's book? Well, we are huge book worms in this house. My absolute favorite books to read to my kids are Julia Donaldson's The Gruffalo and The Room on The Broom. I read Charlie Cook's Favorite Book probably 300 times to my son. We wore out the book. For slightly older kids I love "The Book with No Pictures". We have literally thousands of books in our house. My least favorite is The Rainbow Fish. I hate that book. I read Where The Wild Things Are to my oldest so many times I was relieved my other two didn't care for it. Although we do have an awesome Max costume that my oldest wore everywhere for months.
@krysnicole1022 Iโm sorry everyone is still sick ๐คย
Rant- weโve been trying to make progress on a floor install to make our little office into a second bedroom, and every step is like pulling teeth and takes two weeks.
Rave- Iโve been enjoying these monthly ultrasounds. Baby started out smaller (I think itโs just due to a late ovulation) but heโs catching up quickly.
Rave- pelvic floor work seems to be helping my issues with prolapse and stress incontinence. Just have to Kegel it up until the end of time.
๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: Is anyone else (or has anyone with older children) just doing a pack n play with a bassinet insert to start?ย
GTKY: What's your favorite children's book?
The Bad Mood and the Stick (good for toddlers and slightly above). Weโre big book readers in this house though and have lots of favorites. I like Itโs Time to Sleep My Love for babies- the artwork is so beautiful. My daughter really liked the classic wordless books Goodnight, Gorilla and Good Dog, Carlโ maybe because weโd make up the words as something different each time, I donโt know. The art is fun in those, too.
