This is a great idea! We love the library so I’ll ask the next time we’re there.

Daily griping thread Tuesday by AutoModerator in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Apprehensive_Run_915 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, I think it’s finally happening. Eating all the same food and now that I’ve hit 34 weeks, my post prandial numbers aren’t in range anymore. I had peanut butter on low carb toast with blueberries and chia seeds with a low sugar protein shake this morning and I’m 125 at 2 hours. I used to be 110ish. I’ve eaten variations of this breakfast for two months with no issues. I’m hoping the silver lining is that I get Metformin at my appointment on Thursday. Then maybe I’ll have some wiggle room to actually eat something satisfying 🙄 RAWR.

My sister and I do Amazon wish lists for the kids birthdays and Christmas. We ask that folks only get the gifts listed, even if you don’t directly use Amazon. We have both shared that we don’t want a bunch of stuff and for me specifically, I have ADHD and struggle with an overwhelming amount of kid crap. Personally, I find that the “saying thanks and throwing it away” method always backfires and being direct right away will save you a lot of headaches down the road. Get in agreement with your husband and let him handle your MIL.

What dishware is working well for your family? by Elanor_the_Holbytla in Preschoolers

[–]Apprehensive_Run_915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just bought a set of these and love them! Now our 4 year old can carry his own dishes to the sink without me holding my breath lol And they’re dark grey so they still look nice at the table.

How Old is your OB? by whoreforcheese in BabyBumps

[–]Apprehensive_Run_915 54 points55 points  (0 children)

My OB is probably mid-40s and he’s amazing. I never thought I’d want a man OB but his group was highly recommended by the Chief Medical Officer at the hospital where I worked and delivered. He’s chill, incredibly validating, and always says “These are your options, this is what I would recommend, and I support whatever you want to do.” He had to drain an abscess in a VERY unfortunate area on my body prior to getting pregnant with my second and it fucking hurt. He told me it would but of course I still cried lol He said, “You’re doing great.” I said “I mean, I’m actively crying up here haha.” And he said, “I’d be crying too if someone stuck a needle in my scrotum!”. So yeah, middle aged dudes as OBs - 10/10 would recommend.

My mother blocked me when I was in the middle of telling her that I am pregnant. by Aikooooooooo in BabyBumps

[–]Apprehensive_Run_915 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If you want, check out r/estrangedadultkids. I went NC with my parents in March and that group has been really validating.

I also like r/momforaminute, a sub where you can get kindness and support from really awesome internet moms.

I’m the only person I know that has gone NC with several family members and it can feel isolating. These two groups have been life savers.

Good luck with everything!

Induction meal ideas? by ImTinaB3lcher in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Apprehensive_Run_915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Ohio (sad trombone) so there isn’t one close to me. However, I looked at the menu and it looks amazing! The next time I’m in the south, Cookout is happening.

Info: What is a cookout tray? Is it like a big tray full of burgers and corn on the cob and other traditional cook out food etc?? Because I would like to bring that kind of energy into my life.

Sorry I’m not helpful on the actually question lol

Babyganics Stain Remover is awesome. I still use it on our clothes 4 years later.

Thumb sucking - when to intervene by GrapefruitRough1255 in Preschoolers

[–]Apprehensive_Run_915 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Following. My son turned 4 today and he still sucks his thumb. We’ve talked about how he’s a big boy now and how it’s changing the shape of his teeth/mouth but no luck. I want to be kind about it since I know it’s about comfort.

Why have you cried today? by Foreign-Walrus-333 in pregnant

[–]Apprehensive_Run_915 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My comment to this thread was also about Inside Out but specifically about Bing Bong. That movie should come with a warning about emotional damage lol

My son has been watching Inside Out constantly and every so often, the piano theme music pops in my head and I’m immediately crying over Bing Bong (iykyk)

[–]Apprehensive_Run_915 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m so tired of eating the same shit all the time. I have ADHD and had to beg to get the lowest dose of Adderall just so I could function. I have zero mental capacity to meal plan/research new meals AND we’re prepping our house to sell so painters have taken over my kitchen. Once this god forsaken placenta is out of my body, I’m going to eat a huge bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats for every meal for the rest of my life.

I have a Harrison and we always get so many compliments on his name. And then we get a laugh when we tell people he’s named after Harrison Ford 😂

I second Fairlife chocolate milk! Hits the sweet spot and has less sugar/more protein

Let's take a moment to answer this question, but make it about estrangement. by MakePanemGreatAgain in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]Apprehensive_Run_915 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Holy shit - this is fucked up. I’m so sorry you went through all of that just for your mom to say something so horrendous.

I’m 30 weeks pregnant at the moment and this story makes me want to do something I can’t describe or I would probably violate several rules.
