A lovely mom community and great advice - what more could I ask for?

“I first found your podcast when I was living in Japan and pregnant and needing a community of mom friends that I was struggling to find overseas. I sadly lost that pregnancy and listened on and off through my months of recovering emotionally from the loss and trying to conceive again. On the days I could think about the TTC journey I found your podcast made me feel hopeful during the two week waits and it was lighthearted enough to make me feel a bit better after negative pregnancy tests. We successfully got pregnant again and I gave birth to a healthy baby boy in 2022 with me at age 40. I had always joked with my husband that we could wait for kids but at 40 I was shutting down shop. I guess the universe heard me and called my bluff and had better plans. Through all of this I have found that the bfp podcast has been like others have said - like having two mom friends to listen to and learn from. Even better the Facebook community is like an extension of you two - a really open minded and kind group of women sharing information in a really nice safe space. I have been a long time listener but haven’t reviewed yet. Today I had to because I happened to listen to an old show. I think it was episode 170 where planned checkins at night was discussed. My baby is significantly younger than the I believe 32 month old it was tried on but it made me think of my little 23.5 monther and our current struggles. Dad is deployed and my baby’s requests at bedtime have become a desperate plea which I spend a lot of time calming him down from me denying them (or just giving in which I don’t think is helping I’m just a tired mom). Tonight when he desperately cried for more milk I said “baby. I am going to run a bath for myself. I’m going to put you down with your baby (doll) and I will come back in ten minutes and make sure you are ok. Does that sound good?” He said a sad little “yes” and let me put him down without much sadness. I went back in ten minutes later and he was 95% asleep and let me calmly scrub his back and say good night. Thanks for the idea how to calm the night anxiety. My heart was breaking at his requests. I knew he was stalling but I knew it was also really coming from an anxious place for him. Thank you for not only keeping me company but teaching me so much on this journey. You guys are the best.”
