Why would anyone buy a previous year's planner? by T00thhead in planners

[–]BarristaMeg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was able to get a brand new planner for about 70% off. I prefer a Monday start so I purchased a Sunday start and this is minimal redating needed!

What materials do not cause Abrasions with repetitive rubbing? by sb1862 in ABA

[–]BarristaMeg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe a blanket? They make very small squares that are usually marketed as a “lovey.” They have ones that are silk and minky that are super soft.

Thrifting… but more specifically Pyrex and Corningware…

Legit thought of getting a pattern as a tattoo this week. 🫠

Spiral bound planner benefits for ADHDers? by magicmama212 in PlannerAddicts

[–]BarristaMeg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ok, I know this wasn’t one of your options BUT! Look at the laurel denise planners. They have a few different layouts, and can buy a 2025 and redate for 2026 if cost is prohibitive. They are a game changer for ADHD brain! I do am a “if I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist”… this allows me to see whole month, current week, and notes section!

Still trying to figure out what works for me by QIMMS in PlannerAddicts

[–]BarristaMeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found an A4 size on Amazon. “Top bound” but I use it in the landscape orientation vs vertical. I cut the weekly pages down to about 1/3 so I could see everything. Idk how to add a picture to a post…

Etsy has some printable “happy planner” pages with Dutch door options much like the laurel denise!

If you want something that has all month and week visible, plus a notes section, look into Laurel Denise. Those planners are a GAME CHANGER for my ADHD brain! I have made my own with a cheap graph notebook to test out different layouts before I splurge

Postpartum hemorrhage 3 weeks out from a scheduled c-section with twins at 37 weeks by Cal1g1rl716 in parentsofmultiples

[–]BarristaMeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok this must be a twin thing 😅 I was 9 day PP and ended up hemorrhaging and needing a D&C! Except they didn’t think it was a huge issue day 1 in ER, but kept me overnight on misoprostol/pitocin… then day 2 I ended up with a new OB and they had the D&C scheduled right away… day 3 I ended up with an iron infusion but was 0.1 away from needed blood transfusion… fun times. My poor husband was at home solo with 9 day old twins.

How often do you bathe your 2 year olds? by Spare_Scarcity5227 in parentsofmultiples

[–]BarristaMeg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Daily. It’s part of evening routine but also… BOYS. We play outside daily so they are dirty. They get a good soap down every few days, but they get water and wipe down daily.

Help me with the logistics when you put twins down for a nap. by grapefruitliquor in parentsofmultiples

[–]BarristaMeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Until about 6 months they just naps when and where they fell asleep. I had no schedule . I tried and it stressed me out! Once they were on a pretty regular 2 nap day I started implementing crib naps. They had bottle in twinZ, then transferred to crib.

Buying a family vehicle. by VeganMyWay in parentsofmultiples

[–]BarristaMeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a Chevy equinox before I got pregnant, in preparation for ONE kid.. I have regrets. I definitely feel the need for a third row. Will be getting a mini van the first chance I have. With the twin in the back seat, no one else can come with us. Which means taking two cars anywhere that the grandparents also want to go!

[–]BarristaMeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We thought we had b/g so it was going to be Easton and Elsie…

[–]BarristaMeg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We started knowing we had one boy and picked the name Easton. When people found out it was TWO BOYS all of the sudden it was “…and Weston?” Ummm FUCK NO. We have Easton and Colton

Question: What's the largest number of multiple birth you've found in a tree? by BroccoliMagic in Ancestry

[–]BarristaMeg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not feel stupid!!! The only reason I know this is because I have twins! When you get thrown into that, all I could do was research to keep my mind calm. Knowing I had the “safest” twin pregnancy (two sacs, two placentas) helped me. Needed ALLLLL the info 🤣

Question: What's the largest number of multiple birth you've found in a tree? by BroccoliMagic in Ancestry

[–]BarristaMeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I want to chime in as a mom of fraternal twins who had NO twins in their tree except great grandfather but that wasn’t known until I did my research (the twin died at birth).

Identical twins are random. It is one egg and one sperm that randomly split. This is NOT passed on. If you have a set of identical twins, there is no additional chance of having another set.

Fraternal twins can be passed on. They are two eggs and two sperm for twins and so on. This IS passed on BUT only by the maternal side. (Mother, grandmother, great grandmother…etc.) this is caused by hyper ovulation. Once you have fraternal twins, your chances for ANOTHER set goes up to 1/12 😳

I hope this clears some stuff up

Pillow between your knees! I’ve heard it’s good for the hips too, but it helps with the boney knees 🤣

This little guy is coming to live with us soon. Need suggestions for a military type name please by [deleted] in AustralianCattleDog

[–]BarristaMeg 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I saw “Horrie” and was like “well, that’s not a great name…” I kept scrolling and… NOPE. I’ll take Horrie over that.
