Question.
So i know i dont come on here much, and im trying really hard because i love this site. It helped me so much when i was pregnant with my daughter. But its hard cause i kind of have to start all over cause all the women that i met that were pregnant are no longer pregnant and dont come on very much. Well i guess this is a rambling question. I was just wondering if anyone has been really feeling the hormones emotions wise? I mean i felt them with my daughter but they werent till closer to the end, atleast with my emotions. I cried when i watched sad movies and what not. But for some reason right now im am just feeling it hard. I mean right now i just wanna start balling. I mean theres alot of things that can factor into it, but im just feeling more lonely. Me and my family moved to georgia from Hawaii back in june and i have still not adjusted and i dont really have any friends here and its taking a toll on me. I love my husband dont get me wrong but hes gone all day, and i dont have a car cause his is broke and he has to take mine. I know thats the part of a sahm but most moms i know leave. I guess im just hitting depression and i dont know what to do. I dont want to be so depressed especially for the baby. UGH!! Im just so confussed right now!!! Now im just rambling. Oh and also was wondering if anyone has any kind of help for making a 1 year olds eating schedule, like what i should feed her. Shes getting picky and i dont know if i should just cut out big people food and just stick with the baby food or what. Im getting really fustrated and i feel like a bad mom. Well maybe one of you will read this and help me out. Thanks
lol, yeah getting them on good eating habits is good when there young, Thanks to my parents always feeding my son stuff there eating (Even when we didn't want them to, for example introducing too many foods at once), ever since he's always wanted to eat what we eat. Even if not, I've heard so many different stories of parents sneaking the stuff they need to eat into there kids/family's diets.
The one thing we've learned is we can't keep sweets around the house, otherwise DS will find and get into them. He opened a box of bakers chocolate and ate a lot of it! If he think's there's something he will find a way to get it, lol.

Yeah i have been looking for parks as well. We used to go walking everyday during the summer, she loved it, but its hard with the weather and us not being very used to it. Yeah i have been making smaller meals........but shes picky at times. But i think im starting to understand her..shes a changing baby..LOL!
If you have any parks near you, you could walk there, DH brings DS to the park every day when it's warm out. It's a short walk, and DS just loves it! When you look for a place with a yard, try seeing if there are any parks near by, that way you can walk there and not have to worry about gas, you may even meat other stay at home mom's that go there during the day too!
Even if your not eating a lot, just make smaller meals, your little one won't be eating a huge amount anyway.

Thanks! The eating is gonna be very helpful. I try most of the time to eat with her, but i have lost my appetiate greatly since we moved here and since we got pregnant. I have been trying to find things for my daughter to do. And its harder cause we live in an apartment with a dog, we are in the process of moving to a place with a yard. I think that might help more to get us out of the house....once it gets warmer. And moving from hawaii (after living there your WHOLE life) all the way across the united states has been very very very hard on me. its effected me dramatically. Thanks again for your support and advice!
Welcome! As for the emotions, I'm about 6 weeks pregnant and since about 5 weeks pregnant I've been crazy emotionally! I'll start crying for no reason it's insane!
That's so funny you moved from Hawaii to Georgia, a friend of mine moved from Hawaii to FL not too long ago! She lives near the border of GA and FL.
My husband is a stay at home dad, and his car was out of commission for a while, it was really hard on him because he's used to going to his parents during the day or out to do something with our son. What has worked for us was to get a Y membership. There is a play time for our so that's free, so we go once a week as a family, then Were trying to make it so one day a week each of us gets a "gym night". I'd have to say it's helped a LOT because it gives our son a chance to run around more (were in WI so it's cold and snowy out), and DH gets to have time to work out and some alone/adult time.
As for food, I'd say a 1 year old should start eating the same foods you eat (with in reason of course). At about 10 months or so we started feeding our son table food, and unless it just wasn't good enough for him he'd eat the same exact stuff we did. he's an excellent eater too!
What we would do is to start with we'd have some pasta, and if the sause was too messy we'd start by just putting some olive oil or something on it, that way DS gets to get used to eating what we do and were good.
For a schedule, a 1 year old should eat all 3 meals with you, plus a snack between each. What we found works good is the two snacks are usually fruit (We'll just hand him a banana or two, or grapes). Also, if you buy bulk fruit and just put it in Tupperware in the fridge you can save some money! we do that with oranges and peaches. For the other three meals we have the same stuff as us. Eggs, waffles, pancakes, brackfast bars (fruit filled ones), toast, etc. For lunch he normally gets sandwiches ('cuz that's what DH likes to eat). He'll take them apart but he's pretty good at eating most of the stuff. He had a hard time with lettus till 18 months. For supper we'll have things like pizza, spegetti (We are careful as this makes a big mess), pasta type casoroles, or what ever.
Please don't cut out big people food! It will just make her more picky and harder to transition to the big people food.
If you have any questions feel free to send me a message!
