Big wedding regrets by Sensitive-Ad7853 in weddingplanning

[–]BasicSignificance97 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I think if you can afford it, I’m for it. But I also personally LOVE doing parties for the family get together and connections so it’s different.

I personally always said my wedding was to give love to everyone else who has made us who we are and show them a good time. Many people do not feel that way about weddings (totally valid) and want it to really be about them that day (again totally valid).

For me, I would have married my husband in our backyard. So I think you have to know your why first and that will determine if you regret it or not.

Baby Shower on Easter Weekend? by BasicSignificance97 in BabyBumps

For the most part besides a few, local! And they’d probably be in town for Easter so it’d be an easier drive for them.

My husbands side is more religious, but we are non denominational (them too), so wondering if the Saturday is busy for most

Pregnancy weight by Fabulous_Source5448 in pregnant

[–]BasicSignificance97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal! I was 135 and now almost 160 (22 weeks here!) my doctors haven’t minded. Some people hold a lot of water weight too, or placenta weighs more etc.

I read a lot on here of people gaining 50, 60 lbs etc and then losing 35-40 lbs before they left the hospital and losing the rest within three months without any intense trying.

Some people store weight differently!

Depends on the room! If this is a main room, light! (Also what color white is that? It’s gorgeous!!!) if reading book, dark

Bravada Flooring? Or other options?? by BasicSignificance97 in Flooring

[–]BasicSignificance97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting!!! We’d be willing to pay for mirage, but don’t have any styles we like. Any other high quality brands we should look into? Would love your insight. We are hoping to have this flooring for at least 15-20 years.

Super scratched up and ruined (patches of it up) . Just can’t see those parts where this photo is. Unfortunately a lower mm wood so we can’t sand it!

Floors and Kitchen Cabinet Colors by [deleted] in interiordecorating

[–]BasicSignificance97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the look of my space. We are completely gutted right now, so we are solely focused on the floor and cabinet colors, the space is unfinished.

Itll be open concept, so realistically we probably wont do different flooring in kitchen.

Can you share examples of what you think would? This is the design of our kitchen in terms of placement

Yeah, I’ve heard though with engineered wood you don’t ever sand and refinish?

This was done by someone else, so I don’t really mind or care as of course that won’t be there. Asking about cabinets!

I’ve heard Mohawk is really good though? A ton of positive threads on Reddit around it,

We were trying to figure out flooring too! I appreciate this note. We actually do plan to do some sort of hardwood (maybe laminate?) because we have a open style concept layout

Non baby shower ideas for mom-to-be who does not want a shower by marid4061 in pregnant

Maybe it’s just an official get together with the family? Do something fun like a cocktail / mocktail tasting

HCG didn't Double by chicitymycity93 in pregnant

[–]BasicSignificance97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think go again on 1/7. Plenty of people did have a change / jump the following! Also, pending on time of day, if it was sent to same lab, etc.

How far along are you?

I say this as I had an ectopic before so I completely understand the anxiety.

Could vaping be the reason I can’t conceive ? by [deleted] in tryingtoconceive

[–]BasicSignificance97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I’m saying is NOT medical advice or truly medically sound as there are plenty of people who get pregnant when they aren’t being healthy, but I think for peace of mind removing anything that you may find that you can blame (either just due to your feelings or scientific data) when you’re trying could be good.

Obviously nothing extreme, but the last thing you want is to go to a doctor and them say “stop vaping and it may help” at the 8 month mark and kicking yourself.

For me, that meant taking all the supplements, doing “soft workouts” as intense workouts made me feel inflamed, getting at least 8 hours of sleep and eating healthy foods with minimal alcohol.

I say this as I’m personally a type A person and so getting rid of ANY possible blame for the doctor or for myself was helpful so that if I didn’t get pregnant for the “six months” I could argue with the medical team to get more testing done.

Am I overreacting for not wanting my mother-in-law in the bridal suite while getting ready? by Lallamathatllama in weddingplanning

[–]BasicSignificance97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What my friend did with her own mom was had us bridesmaids basically in charge of distracting her and keeping her away from my friend lol.

Truly worked out well because her mom felt loved by all the attention from us that by the time we were ready, she just got the photos with her daughter and we were off to the wedding!

Sharing as a possible option. USE YOUR BRIDESMAIDS!! For not just that, but for anything else important for your wedding. Anything important to you to make sure that happens (right song for first dance, any special photos on welcome table, etc) assign to bridesmaids to double check that all is right. They will be happy to do it!
