Sooo just food for thought and a little TMI..
We live in a row home with one bathroom upstairs. I just drank my coffee and it hit me, I had to go !
I said to Bella (18m old) let’s go upstairs mommy has to go potty !
She didn’t budge ! So I picked her up and upstairs we went. With a newborn coming in March, I’m sitting on the toilet thinking what if I had my newborn just now ?
Do I carry them both upstairs ? We have a cat so i don’t think leaving the newborn in the swing would be okay ?

My cat never tried to hurt my son as a baby she watched him if he cried she came and let us know. Just keep an eye on the kitty.

What about a portable bassinet? That's what I plan on using when I have to use the bathroom/shower or do anything that's not in the same room as the baby. I did that with my other kids too.
I have 2 young daughters and my cat never once tried to smother them or even try to claw them if anything he keeps his distance
Forgive me but what is a row house
Attached homes! Most are known to be pretty narrow, we have finished basement, first floor then a second . All the row homes in our neighborhood are identical, but some have 2nd bathroom in basement
I'd take the toddler and leave the baby in tbe swing...but that's me
What about a bouncer? With my first born we had a small little bouncer that I would just bring in the bathroom with me. He just chilled.
I had a cat DS was a baby and he never once tried to smother him, pleas don’t listen to that comment.🤦🏻♀️
No of course not ! I wouldn’t think to leave him unattended anyway . But in a pinch i was like ugh getting Bella upstairs sometimes is a hassle !
My cat was afraid of the baby and didnt warm up to him until he was one.
Grey would pinch and pull at him (of course I talked to him about it and showed him how to properly love the cat) and even then didnt do anything to hurt him.
Bella goes after our cat too ! She likes to say “MEOW” and chase him. He has a cat tower so he usually hides up there and I don’t blame him 🤣

I used a bounce seat I could move with me all over the house baby could sit in and it was light weight
Thank you! Yehh my toddler is probably a bigger threat than the cat😂

They will not smother them. My cat didn't try laying on my youngest not one time. They should be monitored at all times anyways but that's with any animal.
Maybe invest in a baby carrier ?
@brianamestichelli
Like the one that goes on your body.
I used my wrap alot! It was so convenient especially since I was caring for other children!.
I would wrap her up. Do dishes. Fix meals. And use it when strollers wouldn't fit.
I used used a carrier for my youngest niece because she was very very colic, wanting to be held was the only thing that helped.
@raisinglittlegamers, I will def try it ! I had the other style carrier with all of the straps (not the silky body wrap) and I used it like twice with Bella . Having 2 kids I want to see how beneficial it will be
@brianamestichelli
I think the more kids you have the more beneficial. When my youngest got older. I would put her in a stroller then my niece in the carrier and we would go to the park.
Get rid of the cat. They will sit on a newborns chest for warmth and smother them, you need to be able to separate them at all times your not awake and watching
@bodybycheetos for real the sister might hurt the baby it's all ridiculous lol
@maryfnpoppinsbitch, it’s called common sense but I guess you wouldn’t know anything about that.
Um. The toddler is more of a danger than your cat. So getting rid of an animal just because someone is having a baby is all kinds of effed up.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Can we lift each other up as women?!
With all this nonsense going on i think it’s time we left each other Mother’s up instead of tearing them down!! So what’s one nice thing u can say about another person on this app? I have 2 friends that i talk to outside this app and I think they are both wonderful mothers and people in general. I won’t name names cause they know who they are. So now u all go!! I think we need this tonight!!!
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
