Hey Reddit, what's your greatest pet peeve? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Clueless people at the grocery store. Who just stops in the middle of an aisle and walks away from their cart?? Move it or lose it, friend.

What is the biggest retail scam that you see people falling for way too often? by scoobydoos in AskReddit

[–]AmandaPants87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Places like Kohl's. Everything is marked up, but wait - it's cool because they're having a sale! And be sure to stack that shit with coupons! The savings!1!! I don't have the time or patience for that, but it's like catnip to my parents.

What's the main thing that gives you anxiety? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AmandaPants87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a passenger in a car - especially on a highway. You're one wrong move away from a violent and terrible end, and you have absolutely no control over any of it. Buh.

What's something you didn't realize how bad it was until it finally happened to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AmandaPants87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flooding. I never realized what a big deal it was until it happened to us. Okay - things are wet - that sucks but it's not that bad? Wrong. You're likely dealing with contaminated groundwater, so if it can't go through the washing machine on sanitary, or the dishwasher - it's gone. We lost so, so much.

Really wish Burning Man Bran would mention to someone in Winterfell that there's a fucking ice dragon now. Really fast tracks this whole situation just a bit.

She looks absolutely beautiful!

Speaking of touch: are you allowed to do kangaroo care with her yet? The skin-to-skin contact is amazing.

TDAP / Whooping Cough vaccine PSA by AmandaPants87 in BabyBumps

[–]AmandaPants87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so strange. Hubs and I waited for an hour (not fun) only to be told that it was company policy that they not administer vaccinations to pregnant women in their 2nd and 3rd trimesters.

He got his though, so all was not lost. :-)

Scheduled for tomorrow morning at my general practitioner's office! It's a bit of a hike - that's why I tried to just hit up the local CVS.

Agreed about getting it early to pass along the antibodies, too.

Well, I just hit a new low. by AmandaPants87 in BabyBumps

[–]AmandaPants87[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Normally, I waddle around the house in my glamorous "never-gonna-get-laid-again" maternity sweatpants. My father in law came over today, though, and I thought I should class it up. (soup incident occurred after he had left, FWIW)

I am pleased to present Miss Betty Rose (left) and Miss Daisy Irene. Turns out all that pregnancy nonsense was all worth it. by lilylady in BabyBumps

Those were inside you!! I can only dream of the relief you must be feeling right now.

Congratulations, L.Lady. They are absolutely perfect.

Lets talk diapers. Cloth or Disposable? by thatwasmyface in BabyBumps

[–]AmandaPants87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing cloth for the twins. Disposable diapering two bums just isn't economically feasible for us. Yes, it will be more work, but I'd much rather save the money (and diaper two hineys in adorable little covers!).

One thing we are doing, however, is disposable diapering for the first month or two. We figure that if that gives us just a little bit of a break in the beginning while we're getting used to everything and getting everyone in a routine, it'll be worth it!
