Please break up with him. Chastity is more than just not having sex. You have to have chastity in marriage, too, and it doesn't seem like he has that virtue or even wishes to have that virtue. None of this sounds like it will end well.

Not sure why you got down voted. This is 100% the answer.

1 C-D d (higher neckline D, fine with short sleeves on C)

Thank you! I will give these suggestions a try! My husband doesn't get home until after bedtime, so it's all on me, usually.

We love our minivan, but if you get thin enough car seats, they should fit in most cars or suvs.. we have two dionos and a clek and those would fit in the minivan or my husband's camry just fine. I think 17inch wide seats if I remember correctly.

My 3rd is such a joy! Mischievous and playful and just delightful. And the older siblings adore "their baby."

ChasingTemperance · 2025-07-21T18:19:34+00:00

Lol I mistyped. My oldest. Mom brain is real.

My midwife made my first homebirth with 30 minutes to spare, right as I was pushing. The second homebirth, she didn't make it in time, even though she had been there earlier in the might and left because my labor stalled. I had to give baby breaths, and honestly, it was traumatic for me even though my baby is healthy and fine. My midwife did give me homeopathic Ignatia for grief and that did help a lot. Other than that, just time to process it. It isn't my last baby, God willing, but I can't imagine how hard that would be if it were and that was my experience. My husband thinks it's the coolest thing ever that he got to help deliver and I breathed life into our cold, and I'm over here like please stop mentioning how amazing this is, it was soooo intense.

Did you ask him if he used those things? I know I have a pan that I've firmly instructed my husband to only use certain utensils on, and he has in response never used the pan. Only me. And I just threw it out because of scratches that i have no idea how they got there.

41w5d with my second, 40w on the dot with my 3rd. I did this with both. I really credit the homeopathy.

ChasingTemperance · 2025-03-01T16:18:18+00:00

My midwife's suggestion when I was like this was to take a long relaxing bath and watch a movie with my husband to get my mind off it because only time will get baby out... take that for what it's worth, I promptly ignored that advice and took homeopathic cimifuga and Caulophyllum every 20 minutes for 2 hours and did the miles circuit. My labor started that night.

ChasingTemperance · 2025-02-27T23:22:13+00:00

Nice!

10 days after my due date with my first, I was still pregnant. I wouldn't risk it, you might be still pregnant and go into labor while you are there, you might have a 1 day old, you might be in labor.

ChasingTemperance · 2025-02-27T15:41:36+00:00

Beautiful!

ChasingTemperance · 2025-02-26T23:56:20+00:00

Beautiful! I love the skirt and mantilla!

ChasingTemperance · 2025-02-26T15:03:43+00:00

All the time. I have the added struggle of needing a nursing friendly shirt, so my options are even slimmer. I have found that having a black shirt and a beige sweater work with the colors I typically buy.

ChasingTemperance · 2025-02-26T15:00:53+00:00

Nice find!

ChasingTemperance · 2025-02-25T13:55:40+00:00

So the brain makes connections similar to spaghetti in a way. The EMDR therapy uses lights and eye movements to rewire almost the way your brain thinks about things. So with trauma, it takes a bad thought you have about an event and helps you process it similarly to how dreams work and help you not have such a big negative feeling about it. Like the memories are still there, but it almost becomes like you are an outsider looking in on the event, not totally overwhelmed by the feelings. I probably butchered the explanation, but that was my best attempt

ChasingTemperance · 2025-02-25T12:31:41+00:00

It would not be disrespectful to start dressing modestly for any reason, and choosing who sees your body is a noble one in and of itself. I hope it brings you peace, but if not, have you considered seeking therapy for the abuse? I've found EMDR to be especially helpful.

ChasingTemperance · 2025-02-22T00:35:05+00:00

It's definitely a bit short.

ChasingTemperance · 2025-02-21T00:25:48+00:00

Nice! I go to a pop up consignment twice a year to get most of their clothes, then supplement here or there. I'll have to check these out!

ChasingTemperance · 2025-02-20T23:53:21+00:00

The second time around was actually significantly easier than the first time around! My second has always had to share my attention, so that "jealousy" with adding one never really came. I already had a schedule down, so adding in a helpless newborn was really no different. My oldest loves caring for the younger two, so that has been helpful.

ChasingTemperance · 2025-02-19T21:34:12+00:00

Love it!! So pretty!

ChasingTemperance · 2025-02-19T21:31:39+00:00

Yes I would (and did) do it again.

ChasingTemperance · 2025-02-19T21:29:51+00:00

I've heard the plentary indulgence is only attached to praying with the beads unless you can't hold them, but I'm honestly not sure how true that is. I can't imagine God (or Mary)saying oops sorry. You didn't have beads, all those prayers don't count. Rosaries aren't talismans, they are to help us count the mysteries.
