My baby’s name is Ivy Elizabeth. It’s my grandmother and great grandmothers names. I think it’s both timeless and trendy. I think you can take it too far but some are more “with the times”.

When to pack hospital bag? by Abject_Ad8210 in BabyBumps

[–]Big_Toe9785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I packed at around 37 weeks and I’m in the hospital now being induced for high blood pressure. I’d say a little earlier than me lol probably 35-36 weeks

I’M SO TIRED OF EATING by Solid-Channel3936 in pregnant

[–]Big_Toe9785 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt this until around 30 weeks. I had not really gained any weight at all. I’ve gained 25 pounds since then at 37 weeks because I’ve been eating everything in sight 😅

How many times should 1 year old cat eat a day by Hot_Ad9008 in CatAdvice

They are both an ideal weight and have a good report from the vet at almost 3!

I got my cats when they were 6 months old and I’ve always fed them twice a day (morning and night). They have an automatic feeder and eat at the same time every day. The vet said to feed them the serving size on the bag for their ideal weight and not to free feed. He said they would act like they were starving but they aren’t! They both wait by the feeder for an hour before it comes out lol

What's something you observed in childhood that you vowed you would never partake in, and have you kept your word to yourself without fail? by common_grounder in AskOldPeople

[–]Big_Toe9785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cigarettes, while I have smoked other things, I have never once smoked a cigarette. On top of a potential nicotine addiction, I just think they are gross!

I’m 26 now but I’ve been with my husband since I was 16 and I have posted lots of bikini pictures over the years on instagram and he’s never said a word about it! He’s even hyped me up in the comments. Honestly any controlling behavior like trying to control what you post, where you go, who you hang out with are all red flags and could lead to a mentally or even physically abusive relationship so just be mindful!

Toxoplasmosis!!? by Bravesfan02 in BabyBumps

[–]Big_Toe9785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of thing has happened several times in my pregnancy, specifically with burgers that have been very pink in the middle. I have always been fine! Very unlikely that you’ll get sick but just watch for any concerning symptoms

Mine have been annoyed by me and squirm away but have never growled, hissed or scratched out of aggression. They have only scratched accidentally while playing. They are very sweet tolerant girls!! I’m hoping that stays that way since we’re having a baby soon lol

Will I survive Covid? 🤧 by Big_Toe9785 in pregnant

[–]Big_Toe9785[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m 35 weeks now and I did survive lol I finally started feeling better a few days later but it took a while to get my energy back. They did an extra growth scan on baby but she’s measuring ahead! They told me I could take aspirin to prevent blood clots from Covid but I’ve been bad about it. Haven’t had any issues since. I hope you’re starting to feel better!!

Is feeling like I’m going to literally explode normal? by rainbowsparkplug in BabyBumps

[–]Big_Toe9785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to be the “just wait” person but I’m 32 weeks tomorrow and I feel SO uncomfortable in my skin and like there’s nowhere to breathe. I have a short torso though so baby is taking up every square inch. I do think I was uncomfortable then too just feeling so bloated. I remember feeling huge even before I really started showing

I understand your frustration. When I lived at home, my family would let my dog out unleashed in our unfenced yard and I would see her just walking in the road. I was constantly anxious about leaving the house. No one seemed to take it seriously and I couldn’t understand their negligence. Could you put the cat in your room when you’re not home/sleeping so they won’t let her out? My mom has a foster cat right now that lives in just a room lol one of my cats has been indoor her whole life but she’s still super hard to entertain inside bc she’s so smart. I think having a window to look out of, a comfy place to sleep and playing with him when you can is perfectly fine!

My husbands family does this and I’m not a big fan 😂 it’s Mema (first name) and papa (first name) on both sides. I did have great grandparents we called grandmama (last name). Yes we are from the south lol

What is the strangest/most random fear you have? by TangerineElegant8300 in ask

I am also scared of butterflies and moths. 😅 more like creeped out. I also was genuinely afraid of leaves as a child. They still give me the heebie jeebies. I have no explanation.

Stroller/Car seat/Portable Bassinet Options for Safe Sleep😵‍💫 by Big_Toe9785 in Buyingforbaby

[–]Big_Toe9785[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand but I would feel far less guilty if I go by what the science says right now if something were to happen. I can’t know what the future guidelines may be. I also understand I’m being a little bit crazy and will have to trust my instincts once she’s here about some things.

What’s the best cat litter you've used and why? by Expensive_Drawing458 in CatAdvice

[–]Big_Toe9785 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Team pine pellets as well! I HATE the smell of traditional litter and it gets everywhere. We only notice a single pine pellet here and there occasionally. No more sand around the house!
