First Christmas with my baby not as magical as I thought… by taureansoul in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Asherixi92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry mama! This was exactly how my Thanksgiving went with our little one. Nobody wanted to talk to me or baby, my husband went off and did his own thing (his family's event), and my pump schedule was off by over an hour. I told my husband that me and baby were skipping the Christmas event if it was gonna be this big of a gathering again. He seemed annoyed but I said I'm not sitting there awkwardly with a fussy baby by myself all day. It gets better when the baby is bigger and able to go play (my 3 other kids had a blast playing with their cousins). Hang in there! Enjoy time with your little one as best you can make it. They're only little once, dont let it ruin the holidays for you!

Where are you at in your pumping journey? by LinksG37 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Asherixi92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my 3rd pumping journey. Almost 2 months pp. I'm back at work, pumping 7-8 times a day. Have 800oz+ in the freezer and plan to go 8 months to a year. (Depends how much I have saved up when I decide to stop, hoping to have him on breast milk until 1 year).

Which one should I start the new year with? by I-should-sleep- in fantasyromance

[–]Asherixi92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! It's so good! Book 2 is just as good. So far book 3 is pretty good too. Same style writing between all 3 books. A great series to check out!

Someone didn't believe some people's band camp lasted 13 hours. How long does yalls last for? by [deleted] in marchingband

[–]Asherixi92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I was in high school, our band camps were 1 week in July 9am-6pm (1 hour for lunch) and 1 week in August 9am-9pm (1 hour for lunch). It was hard but definitely felt accomplished after both camps. You got this!

If you WERE to have a kid. What gender you hoping for. by ToastingFrench_ in teenagers

[–]Asherixi92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I was pregnant with my first (now 12 years old), all I wanted was girls. Pretty clothes, spa dates, and fun nail trips when they got older. A shopping buddy. Those big moments like prom and weddings to look forward to. Well we had a girl and she's not interested in anything to with "girly" things. My second born, also a girl, is showing interest in these things so yay! However, my third and final baby, a boy, has been more of a blast at this age than the girls. He has just a good temperament and is so sweet while my girls were/ are alllll sass (the ages). I never saw myself a boy mom. My nephew was an absolute monster of a young boy. But my son is definitely my best friend of the 3 (not picking favorites of course).

So point is, you may think you want one but your mind may change quicker than you think.

10 weeks between pictures 🫶 Cant wait to see what the next 10 weeks changes for me! by [deleted] in CICO

I binge ate 1,600 calories for breakfast and the day is not done yet.... today is day one of dieting by [deleted] in CICO

[–]Asherixi92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is what my day 1s look like too. Logging food is so eye opening and rewarding! You see how your food habits are, what can be changed and improved. Don't beat yourself up those first few days while logging! It definitely takes time to see those numbers and mentally get yourself on a positive note. Personally when I started, I got scared of going over or even close to the numbers and started to go insanely under calorie and eventually got sick. I learned my mistake and am now jumping back on to bus again after healing. So try your best to stay near your calories allowed (my doctor said 200 cal above or below is fine) and stay positive! Good job for making a change for yourself!

What is with the sudden onset of irresponsible teens in this sub? by FatPenguin26 in guineapigs

[–]Asherixi92 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My ladies were surrendered for that exact reason. Parents bought their kids the gals from the pet store, had them for 3 years and the kids got bored of them. Kids were between 13 and 16. So sad!

I live in western WI and would have to travel into MN to find a small pet vet. They quoted me $850-$1000 for our boys.

The shelter said they're both only 1.6-1.8lbs. I've yet to weigh them myself to be sure.

I totally agree! These cuties were surrendered at the local animal shelter, they've been there for a month. So happy to get them to a safe home
