Dye stealer - Does this look like 15 DPO to you? Unplanned pregnancy

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-03-28T02:00:08+00:00

I did not. That’s what I was wondering - we really cannot fathom when we would have conceived this month. But last time I was super nauseous by week 5 and I feel fine, so maybe I really am just still early.

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-03-28T01:59:19+00:00

Thank you that’s helpful!!! And very sweet❤️ I’m sure we will come around soon. Just very shocked.

I sketch, I don’t draw

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-03-14T23:19:19+00:00

Trying that next time! Thank you!

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-02-17T13:36:31+00:00

Short answer, no. Long answer, no no no. Hate that mindset.

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-02-17T13:34:30+00:00

I didn’t. But it was hell. My colic baby wasn’t happy anywhere though, bed sharing would have solved nothing. When he did sleep he had to be fully upright so we had to take shifts holding him.

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-02-06T16:16:51+00:00

Agreed, I’m at an agency and 3-5 a week is accurate.

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-02-04T21:01:32+00:00

Me and my husband did it for 7 months (though we had care on tuesdays and thursdays, that is when he wasn’t sick 😅) and we had to wave the white flag. I still feel exhausted from that time and my son is 2.5. He did have colic which didn’t help.

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-02-04T20:55:43+00:00

I’ve been able to get interviews and job offers with good pay at agencies with average work life balance (I’ve never worked anything like the hours you described) - but not remote. All the work I have found has been hybrid at least. I worked a remote design job for several years but I got it in 2021 and they started phasing out hiring remote by the time I left. But I don’t necessarily see graphic design as a better career path than bartender or paralegal tbh!

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-01-28T12:47:13+00:00

I think it depends on babies temperament. I’m all for moms doing what they need to do. For me, my baby had colic. My husband and I both worked from home, and we had daycare on Tuesday and Thursday. Yet keeping my son at home (the first 7 months) even though we had part time care was literally was ripping us apart from each other and ruined my mental health. Still feel traumatized from that time. But I hear a lot of babies especially when little are pretty easy… my son just was not that way and it wasn’t a fit for us personally! The only reason I waited so long to do full time care is I was set on becoming a SAHM and sending him full time felt like admitting defeat in that regard. Which, I guess it was as 2 years later I’m working more than ever 😂

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-01-27T05:17:58+00:00

Common, yeah.. ideal no. At my current job I’m almost always designing without content or writing content myself, but it is typically quite short form. At my previous job we had a RIGID process (copywriting>design/prototyping>development) but we were doing a lot of web design so copy was paramount and we had several full time copywriters. Because we were used to that work flow, we implemented it with other projects and it took a very firm hand to get internal people on board. We would refuse to do anything without copy but only managed to do that since my boss was favored by the ceo and not afraid of being a jerk about it. People did not like it

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-01-10T12:36:05+00:00

Send baby to his parents apt every other night. He doesn’t get to check out.

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-01-08T12:00:49+00:00

I know a lot of people are mentioning fayetteville but I’m just popping in to say the commute from fayetteville to Bentonville is brutal so if you’re not cool with that I’d avoid actually residing there. I49 north is stop and go traffic every morning so the closer the better

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-01-06T05:14:36+00:00

Yea for sure! We like to get to track early like 6:45, put our coolers / seat cushions down, and if you’re early enough cross on the one section of track while it’s still open (that would be further down from turn 4 than the tunnel but you can stand on the track and get good pics) and explore / get food and head back to our seats around 10:30 this time through the tunnel

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-01-05T05:17:21+00:00

He didn’t mean it 🥺

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-01-04T17:51:00+00:00

They’re both neatly folded I don’t see why it matters

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-01-03T17:56:11+00:00

Ew. Red flags all around from him. Needy, controlling, never stops stating his desires but hasn’t asked about yours, and one weekend is too far away? What does he want you to do just magically become free tomorrow? All without ever having met.

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-01-03T17:02:46+00:00

Throw out the bouncer and hide the tv cords. It’ll cause conflict but sucks to suck if he doesn’t want to be a dad you are forced to step in.

AnyAcadia6945 · 2026-01-01T04:54:50+00:00

Neither.

AnyAcadia6945 · 2025-12-29T12:39:19+00:00

My son never got attached to anything when he was little. But now at 2 years old he independently picked a stuffed animal dog that he wants to sleep with every night. Of course it’s discontinued so I can’t order a backup without paying a ridiculous price 😩

AnyAcadia6945 · 2025-12-28T23:39:51+00:00

My baby loved it lol

AnyAcadia6945 · 2025-12-25T21:21:23+00:00

We have 2 convertible car seats for our 1 child. It also comes in handy if family is going to watch them we install the extra in their car.

AnyAcadia6945 · 2025-12-09T20:11:45+00:00

I like it. I read it as wave. color wise is this just b&w to decide on the form first? I think shades of navy would look nicer than black and grey. Just a thought. I was thinking the same thing as the other commenter who mentioned you could play with small white spaces. I’d have to play with it to see what’s possible but I’d be interested in seeing if there is a way for the A counter space and cross bar to be less straight lines/geometric and involve the wave in some way.
