OP this is painful but very normal. Lanolin helped a lot, as did "airing them out" so to speak. Congrats on the baby and hope you get some reprieve soon.

Please don't get a random test like this without a counselor.
Both my boys were good sleepers from the get go.
I made the decision at some point that because they were such good sleepers, if they had a regression, it meant they actually needed something, even if it was just a hug and some comfort.
Without fail, every regression was temporary (a week or two at the most) and they all ended without interventions on my part. My responding to them did not create permanent, negative sleep associations or anything like that.

After I broke my nose and had it fixed, I was told not to do any exercising for a while. Definitely check with a doctor on this!

I see this sometimes. Is this medically a thing? I'm so curious about how this happens without actual germs spreading.
I have no overhead lighting in my living room. I am pretty sure I want an overhead light of some sort, but it's a larger room, so thinking maybe some recessed lighting as well.
Is there standard placing for lights like that?

Sounds like you are both doing great!
I've never been able to stop thinking.
But I found yoga nidra a while back, which is essentially these extended body / thought meditations. They tell you exactly what to focus on, so your mind has a task. The benefits in terms of relaxation have been amazing for me.

Zoloft.
I think when pediatricians say to start solids at 6 months, they should also say: "but like any other milestone, your child might not be ready for a couple more month." There really is a wide range of normal here. And interest at 6 months, but not ability, is totally normal.
It sounds like she'll be a good candidate for BLW. Let her grab and chew whatever is on your plate. She'll spit and gag, and every time she does that, her body is learning a little bit.
One other thing you might want to try is these little feeders. They let kids chew and get some flavor without being spoon fed or getting big chunks. My kids liked these a lot at that age.

This is a true accomplishment. Kudos!
+1.
My 6 year old is really good with transit maps - we have maps of all the major systems, like NYC, London, Paris, and kid's favorite "recess from DL" activity is to figure out how to get from point A to point B.
I love this! For my kid it was herbs. She could identify tons of herbs, many I’d never heard of, and knew their medicinal uses. It’s so fun to see kids develop unusual interests.
That is really cool. I love seeing this in kids too.
My 3 year old DS peed in his pants yesterday, and I brought him straight into the bathroom for him to finish. When I opened the door, I saw a small pile of clothes that my 5 year old DS had put there for his little brother to change into. It just made me happy how thoughtful he was to do that.
The sad truth is that right now I am most interested in friends based on proximity. I will look past a lot of things if you live close by, have kids around the same age, and are good with low-key hanging out that isn't planned forever in advance.
I have a few people in my life that know me in and out and I can say anything to them, and I know they would be there for me if I needed anything. I am not opposed to having more close friends like that, but it's just not a priority for me right now.

OP how old is your kid? And it is the dominant arm? My son liked to kick the soccer ball around and play one-armed tennis when he was in a cast. He also liked to throw a soft frisbee back and forth, though he didn't really catch it much.

I'll just give you my own experience:
Unlike PP's children, I was not reading Harry Potter-type books at 5/6 years old. I starting read by about 4.5, but it was simple books. That said, my parents got me tested for admission to a magnet kindergarten program; my IQ came out at 147.
I never had trouble in school, graduated from a top prep school with honors and from a top research university magna cum laude. Am I gifted? I suppose my IQ would suggest so, but I was certainly not the smartest kid in my high school (though it's an extremely selective high school). If my IQ is 147, I would suspect I went to school with kids who have IQs in the 160s at least.
My 3 year old seems bright and inquisitive, but I'm really more concerned about her becoming a well-adjusted, compassionate and kind adult, than whether she is gifted or not. DH and I do not plan on getting her evaluated, unless it's mandated for a program we think she'd thrive in.
That's really unlikely. Either you are underselling yourself (particularly common with women), or your IQ is very unbalanced, e.g. only moderately gifted in most areas but highly gifted in one area that does not come up often in daily life, like spacial cognition, for example.
PP's description sounds very similar to me, and in fact there were multiple people at my high school with IQs in the 160 range. I went to a public high school near a university and most of the professors' kids were pretty bright.
