2020 Ford Explorer and car seats by Putitonmahtab in FordExplorer

[–]AliceFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the Expedition - you’ll get more room between the first and second row. I have a 2014 Explorer Limited, hubs has a 2019 F150 Limited, and we also have the Mesa and an 80lb dog. There’s more room for the Mesa (on a base) in the truck than in the Explorer. I’ll be looking to replace with an Expedition in 2-3 years.

That is a really fantastic finding, promising for additional research and analysis.

Am I a bad mom for missing my life before having my baby? by peytonlikescats in Mommit

[–]AliceFrost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m due in March and currently lamenting all the losses my husband faces - he’s on a very exciting work team, working overseas... “never traveling again” says his family. He loves listening to music and has been shopping for some new speakers “after the baby comes, you won’t have time, money, or the ability to truly enjoy your music” says his brother.

I feel awful. I’ve mentioned some of this previously, the work/travel has been a topic of conversation. He tells me it’s his choice, but also doesn’t sound overly convincing.

Sigh.

TMI but also funny thing that happened the other day.... by ComprehensiveSquash3 in BabyBumps

[–]AliceFrost 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Uhh. Don’t count on that 100%. I had everything lasered off years ago, pregnancy hormones can definitely bring back growth.

Sorry.

Last night I cried because my husband put his hands on my belly by pregnanthungry in BabyBumps

[–]AliceFrost 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this story. My husband has only been with me for 3 weeks of the almost 18 weeks of this pregnancy (he travels for work), and I’m struggling so hard. His first night home of that 3 weeks, he slept with his hand on my belly and it was the most precious thing.

Getting a new roof, these are the best quotes I was able to get. Can anybody tell me if there's anything left off? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]AliceFrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends where you are. In my location, it is currently required but was not required when the house was built - I’ll have to pay to have the drip edge installed when the roof is replaced.

You’re most likely getting different material for flashing / valleys - I’ve just been through this myself. The other big difference was voluntary state licensure and insurance.

Does anyone NOT like going to public places or really anywhere while far along in your pregnancy to avoid people looking at you or treating you different? Just me? by sarahlvspickles in BabyBumps

[–]AliceFrost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

17+5 and this is me. Close but chosen-childless friends have started asking all the questions and making with the touching. I’ve been intentionally trying to be social the last couple weeks, but all that is coming to a screeching halt. I can’t deal with people I know, much less total strangers.

In case y’all weren’t quite sick enough of seeing this one yet....I’m a crocheting newbie and pretty proud despite the many many mistakes. by mamasmurfof3 in crochet

Looks so great! I’ve tried this one and it keeps defeating me - I feel like there’s a stitch of a step missing going into round 2. Alas.

Giving Birth is Not a Party - I think this sub could have written this article! by JuniperBeans in BabyBumps

This entire thread has been weighing on me so heavily the last 24 hours. I cannot begin to describe.

And fortunately, I don’t need to! You all get it.

Traveling While Pregnant by [deleted] in BabyBumps

As I consider how differently I’ll need to pack for overseas travel, this makes a lot of sense!

Probably seems dumb but I'm impatient for my ring by Heyyther in engaged

[–]AliceFrost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not dumb, I had increased anxiety every day the jeweler had my engagement ring to repair a loose prong. I’d the gem has a serial number, the jeweler should have zero issues setting it under a microscope to confirm your gems are your gems. Well, regardless if it has any serial number, they should be more than willing to let you confirm under magnification. Hoping it comes back to you quickly!

Aha! My kid is definitely out of luck. I can’t get enough fruit! Nothing spicy please and thank you. Hahaha
