[US] question about coparenting small children

We’ve done the court thing, we’re going back, my question is those of you coparenting young children, infants and toddlers, are you wanting to be more involved with the care of your child when they’re with the other parent? One accusation I get is that I’m controlling. I’ve been coparenting since the day my son was born. My newborn went with his dad and I had to trust that my son was cared for. Fast forward to now my son is 17 months and it has gotten easier but as he’s gotten older his schedule has changed and we communicate about naps and bedtime. He accuses me of being controlling but I just want us to be on the same page and try and have consistency between the homes. We don’t talk as much because less conversation means less time to argue but of course we still talk sometimes and it’s extremely difficult because we will never see eye to eye. Can this be looked at as “control”? Do you want or get updates on your babies or toddlers when they’re with the other parent?

20 week insomnia

This last week I’ve struggled to stay asleep. Usually falling asleep isn’t the problem but I wake up and can’t fall back asleep. Last night I was up at 1am and the last time I checked the time it was 4am. I have no idea when I fell back asleep. I’ve been sleeping really good the last few months so this is super frustrating. Anyone experience this around this time and it passed? Sleeping meds make me so groggy the next day

My ex filed a motion of contempt against me. We have a right of first refusal in our court order and I don’t feel like he is following it so I have “kept” my son during those times because parenting time wasn’t being offered to me. We’ve both submitted our responses and evidence. I had 14 days to respond, after my response he has 7 days to respond to me. I asked that the court order be amended and we have specifics added vs general “if parent is unavailable then other parent be offered parenting time”. Is there a possibility we won’t have to go back to court? Anyone in ND have experience with this and avoided court? I’m googling and everything is telling me we will end up back in court but my attorney hasn’t said that this is the direction things are going. I’m trying to adjust my expectations so we do end up back in court I’m not surprised

Maybe help? If you can help this lol. This is my second pregnancy and totally different than my first. I’ve had relatively mild symptoms if any. My main symptom I notice is that I smell 🥲 down there..my feet…my arm pits… everything 🥲 I washed my shoes because I thought maybe my tennis shoes were getting funky but it didn’t help. I hand wash my underwear before putting it in washing machine to make sure everything is clean and disinfected. I reapply deodorant because I will smell myself. It’s getting nicer outside (I live up north so it’s still cool) and I’m scared for summer 😅 anyone else experience this??? I don’t like being close to my partner or having sex because I feel disgusting even after I shower. Of allllll the things I was expecting this pregnancy, being smelly wasn’t one of them 😅
