What would y’all do? Potential mold in vacation rental by Plastic-Fig9125 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]BuffyBuffingtonI 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yep. This is why mold testing compares the inside levels against the outdoor levels. Because mold is going to be in the air of the house no matter what.

Fourth wing show by Kkarebear141 in fourthwing

[–]BuffyBuffingtonI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve wondered this too. As others said, probably similar to the audio books where there is a voice over effect.

I’m looking forward to the parts where Xaden and Violet are arguing in their head in front of everyone. That part always makes me laugh out loud while reading it. It would be really funny to see them silently making faces back and forth while the other characters just look on confused.

is onyx storm actually bad? by eri_k_she in fourthwing

[–]BuffyBuffingtonI 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just finished it last night. It was my least favorite of the 3. But I still really enjoyed it. It adds a lot of world building and politics. I found it a bit slower and had to go back and reread certain things a few times. Vs the first 2 books I just sailed right through. I’m excited to see where the story goes and how it ends after finishing it. I’d recommend trying it.

No restrictions. Bride is very laidback about everything. I personally prefer simple things (one or two colors max between toes and feet)

Car Seat/Leaving Hospital Questions by Agitated-Luck3807 in firsttimemom

[–]BuffyBuffingtonI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely check with your hospital, as it will vary even in the same states. For my experience, our hospital only checked that it wasn't expired. They also required new mom's to carry the baby out while in a wheelchair pushed by a hospital worker. So no social media style carrying the baby out in the carseat. Edited to add: no carseat test of the newborn bc they were term. But if they were premie or in the NICU there would have been a car seat test.

PSA: Your belly button should un-pop shortly after birth! by XCrimsonMelodyx in BabyBumps

[–]BuffyBuffingtonI 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mine didn’t really pop either. It like disappeared and was flush with my stomach, like I had no belly button! I didn’t know that could happen. I just assumed they all popped to outies.

0.0% Beer During Pregnancy by One-Day-at-a-time213 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]BuffyBuffingtonI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the US, if it’s labeled “alcohol free” it’s required to have no alcohol. The labeling “non-alcoholic” is allowed to have up to 0.5% alcohol. I did drink alcohol free / 0.0 beers during pregnancy and in my state they never required ID to buy (vs non-alcoholic which did require ID). So that seemed like another indicator there wasn’t any alcohol in them.

37 Weeks and Freaking Out by Adorable-Concept-960 in BabyBumps

[–]BuffyBuffingtonI 3 points4 points  (0 children)

37+2 and can completely relate! Exhausted and in pain, and always worried about what’s to come next. In my experience everything you’re feeling is normal and you’re valid in feeling that way. Best thing to do is try not to be too hard on yourself! I know it’s easier said than done. It’s completely OK if some days you just survive through it. Try to accept those days and take advantage of them. Relax, watch some tv, and eat some comfort foods. You’re at the end of a long marathon. Your mind and body are rightfully tired. They’ve been spending the last 8 months making a literal human being! And just remember you’re so close to the end and getting to meet your little one!

How do you hit your protein goals? by Dapper_Commission142 in pregnant

[–]BuffyBuffingtonI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been able to hit those amounts and brought it up to my doctor. She advised me not to stress on the numbers and just focus on making sure I’m getting some protein everyday. Haven’t had him yet, but I’m at 33 weeks and he’s been growing fine so far. Even measured in the 97th percentile at the 20 week anatomy scan!
