My daughter is 11/7, but she’s getting her tonsils out at the end of October so I’m thinking of having her birthday party 10/17 instead. Does it matter that it’s 3 weeks before her actual birthday?

I don’t think so! And if anyone asks why it’s so early, you can tell them that you want her to be able to recover from her surgery without worrying about planning a party.
Only the heartless would be mad at that reasoning lol

Yes. A party is a party and it needs to work with your life so it’s enjoyable. She’s being celebrated and feeling loved before her procedure. It will be great.

My son’s birthday is July 4th. And no one is ever in town, or has big plans. I always do it a few weeks before or after to guarantee his friends and family can attend. Do what’s best for you!! We always do a special party with just us here at the house on the 4th, and then his big party is later.

I plan to for my daughter because my second babys 1st birthday is 3 weeks ahead and I’m combining parties due to multiple family weddings around my daughters birthday and just easier than having two parties 3 weeks apart

Yup no big deal :) we did it for my daughter’s first bday so we could combine with her baby dedication at church!

We're having a party 3 weeks before my son's birthday as it falls at a weird time over school holidays
Obviously going to retest tomorrow morning but, do I have line eyes or is there actually something there??

Just wondering if anyone has any advice?
I'm 14 weeks postpartum after an emergency C-section and struggling to not hate my body. My scar is wonky and has a kink in it, I have the C-section shelf which is massively messing with my suspected long term body dysmorphia and I overdid it on the exercise which has made my belly more swollen than it has been. I avoid looking in mirrors because of all of this.
I want to exercise to like my body again but don't know how to do it without making it worse? Has anyone else struggled like this that wouldn't mind talking about how they dealt with it to love themselves again?

The consultant I was speaking with last Wednesday (when I thought I wanted a VBAC), put in my notes that I wanted a window curtain for my elective. Just wondering about everyone's experience with that if you had one? I know it won't gory or anything like that because it still blocks the icky parts lol, but just curious 😊

First time trying this but the thought came to my mind this morning/ night when the little one wouldn’t go down but thought I’d give this a try
Any little ones born the same day as mine and got birthday pals 😂
