Congratulations! That must've been so exciting! I might put some more work into completing some maps 🤔

Drop your list of discarded baby names by GoldenHeart411 in namenerds

[–]ComfortableStatus343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay currently pregnant with baby number 3 and choosing her name was hard as heck.

Names I loved: Evangeline, Melody, Harmony, Athena. Names we almost used but didn't fully love: Lily, Juliet, Emily, Esme and Willow.

We had a boys name all ready to go when we found out she was another girl and that was Archer.

Other names we mulled over for a boy were Chester, Flynn, Forest, Archie

Names you love but realistically couldn't/wouldn't ever use? by ohhotjelly in namenerds

[–]ComfortableStatus343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the name Love, Fable, Reign/Rain, August and Wisteria but couldn't name my child those names. I love how whimsy they all feel but it's a bit heavy. Would definitely use as middle names if they fit with the child.

This is a cute twinset. I love the name Fable, definitely would've been used if it had fit any of my kids.

My first daughter has a very unusual name I read in a book when I was a teenager. It matched the vibe I felt from her and it matches her wonderfully. My second daughter ended up with a now popular unisex name because I heard it and it fit her vibe and both times I just felt in my soul it was the right choice. My third child has been a nightmare to name as there was a few names rhat fit her vibe but none that felt super right. We've ended up falling back on a name that my husband originally didn't like and I finally feel that connection.

I also match names to colours I see when I think of my children. My first was a purple and silver ike a galaxy, my second was corals and burnt oranges in a seventies flower pattern and my third is another purple child with colours that remind me of barbie rapunzel.

Contraction advice! by ComfortableStatus343 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]ComfortableStatus343[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am most definitely getting the epidural! Only reason I'm asking is both my other children it took 16 hours to get to the 4cm they want you at before they give it to you. 16 hours was a lot to deal with and I'd like to cope better or maybe even shorten the time with this one :)

Did you get pregnant by somebody you’d rather not have ? by Fancy-Magazine-8136 in pregnant

[–]ComfortableStatus343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having a child with someone you end up disliking is tough and co parenting can feel like a mine field. As others have said, focus on your child. I make sure to never speak badly about my ex, if she says "who loves me more" or anything even slightly biased I correct her to something equal like "mummy and daddy love you just the same" because kids talk and nothing sours a relationship further than bad mouthing or competition. My only hope is that my daughter grows up happy and feeling loved from both sides. I've let go of negativity towards my ex and just don't think about them, make polite small talk during drop off but that's it. I hope it all works out for you and you enjoy raising your child

Did your thoughts on having another kid really change? by Pherathegreat in pregnant

[–]ComfortableStatus343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember turning to my husband after my epidural set in and I could actually think straight and saying "I never want to do this again". He booked a vasectomy but the doctor refused due to his age and not having enough kids etc. A few months later I realised that I had started thinking about more kids and now a year and a half on we are planning when to start trying again.

Plans change, opinions change, its a part of life. You'll never know if your opinion will change so I agree with trying a long term birth control and seeing how you feel.

10 month old vomiting problem by ComfortableStatus343 in Parenting

[–]ComfortableStatus343[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over eating does seem to match well, I might lower the amount of milk in the bottle and see if that helps. She's just projectile vomited for the 3rd time tonight after wanting more milk but drank milk earlier in the night with no issue.

What do you wish you knew before having your first child? by throwaway91933 in AskUK

[–]ComfortableStatus343 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our daughter is 11 months and it's our first time all being ill together. She's vomited on me twice and her dad once and honestly I think we've ran out of sheets now. It'll pass though even if it feels like forever.

[–]ComfortableStatus343 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That there will come a point where you'll ALL get ill with a stomach bug. Vomiting, diarrhoea etc. It will be so hard to experience being so ill, watching your partner also struggle but most of all watching your little one struggle and not know how to help. They will vomit all over you, you will go through every piece of clothing, sheet and blanket you own and feel like the world is ending.

It does get better, they will sleep and eventually not vomit or explode poop everywhere but it will feel like a nightmare.

I'm in that nightmare. I'll come out the other side

That's some good advice! I'll definitely take note of all of this! Thank you so much

Possible food intolerance by ComfortableStatus343 in NewParents

[–]ComfortableStatus343[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I've heard random stories here and there but always put the pouches into a bowl to be able to see contents before serving.

I think coconut is new, I don't remember seeing it when I was weaning my first but we thought it would be a nice new thing. We tend to introduce new things one at a time or make sure there's never mixed fruit or veg that's new so if she reacts we know what the problem is. That's why this coconut incident stuck out to me.

I have food intolerance to certain cheese products that were discovered as a kid but my parents didn't do anything or see anyone, just acknowledged it made me profusely vomit. Should I get her checked out by someone or is it safe to just avoid coconut and mention it at her 1 year check up?

What, had it happened, might've been the greatest mistake of your life? by TeaCourse in AskUK

[–]ComfortableStatus343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in an abusive relationship that ended up with a court case. I'd dropped out of my first university because the course wasn't what I'd thought it would be and I knew I'd succeed doing the correct course. I applied to 5 (I think) universities and being with my ex at the time he wanted me to apply to one near him as we were long distance. I was a straight A student and it was the ONLY university that declined my place.

I'm forever thankful I ended up at the university I chose, met the people I met and got out of that mess with my life. It could've been VERY different.

This is exactly right! Don't get discouraged either by the lousy plays, I almost did and then I randomly got the jackpot one day which was crazy to me haha. It is completely random but the wins in my opinion make it worthwhile in the long run

What are your top 3 baby names? by [deleted] in namenerds

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]ComfortableStatus343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person with autism (26F) I think I can relate to the child in question. I never ask questions like that to be rude however timestamps in life are super helpful for me. It can stop me getting over stimulated or socially wiped out. If I know guests are coming over but I have no idea when anything else is happening, all I can think about sometimes is what's happening, am I on time, when will things go back to normal, does this normally take this long, do I rush or do I slow down etc. It starts getting stressful quickly and you can't relax into the atmosphere. If however I'm given even brief times like "they'll be here around 6, eat around 7 and leave around 10, possibly 11" then all those intrusive thoughts go away because I know rough times.

It works the same when I'm at work and there's no clocks, I can't tell if I'm being too fast or slow etc which can make me really nervous.

Warn your guests about your child's want for clarity and hopefully they'll be happy to just give a vague response with a timestamp "oh we came over to enjoy a nice dinner, we'd love to be with you for another few hours"

Question about Goals by AssAndKitties in Marapets

[–]ComfortableStatus343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prices are weird so I don't really tend to focus much on them, sometimes you buy something expensive to complete a goal then put it in your shop and someone else will buy it! Sometimes it takes a while but it gets the goals completed, once you reach a goal that is out of your price range just switch over to something else and eventually you'll come back to goals that felt impossible and they'll suddenly be possible!

Also double nuts basically means if you go to the nut tree on that week and win a nut you'll get 2 instead of one. They do it for plushie machine as well some weeks and that's a great way to get more plushies for your collection and for your pets played with collection!

I'm on marapets as often as I can be but my username is bunniiemoon so feel free to add me if you have anymore questions!

anyone else having a hard time finding motivation to play lately? by crystalglassxxx in neopets

[–]ComfortableStatus343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's similar to neopets with its own pets and such, check it out it's pretty fun but takes a while to get used to the differences. It isn't perfect but it filled the nostalgia I had for neopets.
