What's the deal with white cribs?
And toddler conversion thinggies?
Aren't babies super dirty? Won't this white thing just be yellow the moment it touches my beautiful wonderful bundle of joy's mere aura?

White and grey furniture are in style these days for some reason, as a fan of brown woodgrain patterns it's hard to find stuff that isn't vintage sometimes

It's definitely mostly Instagram crap, but also, the first year is less dirt and more half digested milk, which tends to be more white ish.

I'm color blind so I see brown as red so I saw this reddish-brown crib and loved the color but it was too brown for her :(

I liked the white onesies. A batch of those with blowout stains can get bleached then go back in the laundry rotation. I never really felt like I've gotten poop out of a garment tho. No matter what combination of water and shout and vinegar or whatever there's always a yellow stain that just kinda fades and spreads out.

Yeah, gotta wash the clothes before you wash the baby if you want any chance. I'm making peace, she will grow out of this size before company comes to see her. My weapons of choice are Scotch scrubby sponge and tiny spray bottle of Shout.

when you have a baby you just keep a bucket full of water and oxyclean in the bathroom and whenever the baby has an event you just throw their clothes in the bucket and then you have hours to wash it and the stain will still come out

lol dump it and move all the clothes into the wash the same day and then throw a new scoop of oxyclean in so all you need to do is water it the next time you have a fun time

What we do is, we let the clothes become progressively more stained until he grows out of them (about 2 weeks)

Post-partum depression is a real thing. I'm not an expert or a relevant professional, but this might be more than a mere annoyance.

She already has an appointment to see a psychologist. There were some issues at the beginning because she's been on anti-anxiety meds for a long while, and really wanted to breast-feed our baby, so she stopped taking them, despite the pediatrician and ob-gyn telling her that if she really needed them she should keep taking them and just get used to bottle feed our girl.

I don't want to get into details, but things were difficult until she started taking the meds again. And all this while also dealing with a newborn :shepicide:

On a lighter note, in a couple of weeks our baby girl will be three months old. By now she's starting to smile at us, and throws her mittens away when she's excited and moving her limbs (some of the mittens are already kinda loose). She also does baby-talk once in a while and I keep saying things like "Really? Tell me more darling" and she keeps on doing her noises.

And I realized that now I also have to think of a good Mother's Day gift, just some small thing since my wife said she's okay with not celebrating it.

We started potty training our daughter 2 weeks ago, and here's where we're at:

Pee: mastered within a day,.still going strong, couldn't be prouder. She's knows when to stop and go, even when we're out somewhere

Poop: not even once lol, still proud but frustrating

Didn't mention mother's day, as it's a hallmark holiday and my wife would hate any celebration. I might have trolled her with something if either of us had the energy to deal with it, but yeah, between the baby getting a fever from teeth and me being super sick, not happening. I did technically give her some flower seeds as part of gardening though.

I paid some Etsy person to make a little bear with one of our daughter's newborn outfit/NICU towels that is also her birth weight. Probably much too late to do that. Also painted a little sign for her desk referencing a garbage reality show idiot we enjoy that says "Everything I do, I do for my daughter."

Next weekend is also our anniversary and we're spending the weekend at a cabin in the woods anyway and I'll make pancakes and mimosas and poo poo on Sunday morning. She was pretty clear she wanted brunchy stuff to be her mother's day thing.

This Mother's Day is pretty much already given up as poo poo-tier since we will have a newborn (still not born; induction appointment is tonight) but I got her a " world's best mom" mug since she doesn't have one and an Etsy necklace with the birth month flowers of everyone in our family

yeah! had same reasoning for PC bias

i dont even know what version to install, like people are talking about java version this, and microsoft store has some other version, etc..

Java is probably going to be easier to find mods and how to do whatever videos for if that matters because there's just a lot more material out there for it.

There are a few mechanics differences that would probably not be noticeable outside of some fiddly contraptions you build working in one version and not the other
