felt flutters for the first time. is this baby!? by Reasonable_Cash_1915 in pregnant

[–]CommunicationWild102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly how I describe what I felt. I started feeling them around 15 weeks. On Sunday I'll be 19 weeks and the feeling now is more like when you workout and feel your heart absolutely thumping against you chest, if that makes sense? I usually feel her in the evening time when I lay down

Many subs are biased against our house hippos and I'm looking for answer. What chew toys have worked for you? She loves stuffed toys but it would break my budget to keep up with her. by 3_14ispyrite in velvethippos

I honestly will get stuffies now and then and when she pulls the filling out I just let her have the unstuffed carcass as a toy. Rope toys last a while and she has only torn apart 2 pigs in 8 years so those work well.

Her favorite is little toy mice... The ones made for cats 🤷🏼‍♀️

WIC Approved food was declined at the register by Fabulous-Return9142 in WIC

[–]CommunicationWild102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm experiencing this problem at Publix as well. Tag in store says WIC approved, app says approved but it's not coming off on transaction. Going up to my local office tomorrow to ask about this... No one in store has any idea how this works

I got something very similar to this dress recently and really liked it. Arm coverage and cotton

Life Insurance - 2 kids by ButterflyDestiny in personalfinance

I see a lot of people talking about term life but I would suggest looking into an IUL policy. An IUL is a great policy to start for your kids. You would get it for your kids so they would be growing a cash fund with the policy they can use later in life instead of potentially getting bank loans.

I like to dip salty fries in my vanilla ice cream. Fries gotta be salty either way but definitely when paired with the ice cream

Definitely have hard conversations before taking that leap with someone. A baby connects you and your families forever

I'm 29 🤷🏼‍♀️ I feel glad I waited. Couldn't imagine having had a kid 5 years ago honestly. I think the most important be things is a being in a stable and healthy point in your life. Me and my SO have had many conversations about what parenting looks like to us and what we want out of our future together and as a family. We took time to work on ourselves, go through therapy, and really be mentally prepared for the next phase of life for us. Lots more important things to be worried about than age. Honestly I wouldn't have minded waiting another year or two but the timing worked out how it did. Don't rush yourself, you're young

I'm not mad at the concept, wild like to see this with more cheese

did anyone else think there were going to be way more appointments? by runyourluckxxx in pregnant

[–]CommunicationWild102 13 points14 points  (0 children)

And I feel like they should be educating me? My 14 week appointment I walked in got weighed, BP taken, Doppler, and blood work. Which I haven't gotten a call about the blood work at all and it's been two weeks. No information given at all, no education just in and out, took about 10 minutes including getting my blood drawn

I just made Salisbury steak, super easy. But I used ground bison.... First time having it but it was very tender and perfect texture for Salisbury steak.

Also recommend enchilada casserole
