Ethan hasn't eaten in like six hours and every time we unswaddle him he screams. We used the Windi but no change. Ben did this same thing at six weeks old and was better the following day. No reason to be nervous yet, right? I think he just has to poop.

nah he's just being a baby. Keep him swaddled and offer food but I wouldn't sweat it yet.
Dd2 went 8-10 hours between meals a couple times around 6weeks.
Despite the fact that my best friend hasn't formally acknowledged my pregnancy since I told her, she texted me that she had a dream about the sex of this baby. I just don't even know how to respond.
I spent $200 today at recreational pot stores. First time visiting any of the recreational stores since they became legal over a year ago. Reserving the right to recycle this in a confessions thread.
Sometimes, my H completely ignores me when I'm speaking. If I"m looking him in the eye when I speak, I can tell whether he's listening, so it's fine (or less frustrating) if he says nothing and uses no body language to acknowledge me; but if we're buzzing around, playing with our daughter or making our dinner or something, the lack of response leaves me wondering whether he heard me. So, I'll sometimes repeat myself or say that I wish he'd acknowledge me. (And yes, I sometimes do so with some exasperation in my voice, because this happens too often, IMO.)
More often than not, he'll then say, "You didn't ask a question," as if only questions require responses of any kind. RAGE! Am I crazy, or is that ridiculous?
My H does this too and it enrages me. I actually made him get a hearing test because I got so tired of asking a question and hearing nothing and then having to say his name to get him to respond so I can confirm he heard me ask him something. I feel like, hey, asshole, you have so little respect for me you can't even acknowledge me when I speak? Which does seem ridiculous bc everyone who knows him will tell you he is the newest guy ever. It's frustrating.
I was just reflecting on this today. My h does this as well and it drives me absolutely insane. Just fucking acknowledge me you prick.

H does this to me too. I hate it. I do it back to him sometimes and it makes him so mad but he still doesn't stop. How hard is it to acknowledge that I have said something?! It is so rude.
Can someone please explain sensory tables, activities.
This article explains why it's beneficial for kids, and really everyone.
As far as what to use as a sensory "table" - you can use anything. It doesn't even have to be a table. It can just be a large rubbermaid bin, or one that slides under a couch/bed. You can also use a water table. Really any container works.
There are tons of ideas and of course Pinterest is a great resource. Some of the things I've used when I taught K or with DD are: dry beans wet spaghetti snow dry rice crinkly paper (those little pieces you see as gift basket filler) sand dry corn dry soy beans cornmeal
Holy hell. DS woke up at 10 like some spawn of the devil. Damn teeth. Finally water boarded him with ibuprofen and teething pods. He then played for an hour and just went back to sleep.
Between that and DD not eating and not sleeping I might run away.
I need to schedule my post partum visit. At my last one it was like "wam bam thank you" and we didn't talk about the birth AT ALL. I also hated my doctor and waited 45 minutes past my appointment time so I just wanted to get the hell out of there and didn't ask any questions.
But assuming I am at a practice that doesn't suck, how does a "normal" post partum appointment go? Is there a post mortem of the birth? My doctor never made it but he stitched me up afterwards. I assume there are notes. I have questions but I don't want to sound litigious.
For example, when the hospital midwife checked my cervix before my water broke, she probably also checked that he was head down, right? That's why when she checked me again and told me to push, she must have just assumed he still was?

NQB - I love my OB and have been a patient of hers for six years (since I moved to this city).
My 6 week apt was wam bam TY mam. Took a PPD survey, talked about my feelings, she checked my vagina, gave me a little lecture about sex and working out, and I was on my way.
I spoke to her briefly about the delivery because I had PE and so things took a nasty turn at the beginning, but ... it was maybe 5 minutes total.

My midwives always ask how I feel about my birth and give me delivery notes. Not sure how OBs handle
