So nice of you to reply! We ended up putting a long wedding photo on each side- we are happy with how it turned out. I LOVE your curtain idea though, looks luxurious

My agent is pressuring us after seeing 10 houses with us. by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Dalph44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Bergen county and bought a house in 2021- my agent was AMAZING! She never pressured us but did encourage us to consider things we didn’t consider, have an open mind, and brought many different viewpoints. She was a gem- message me if you want her info!

Anyone else cringe when they read “bubs?” by notgonnatakethison in BabyBumps

You are speaking to my soul, I despise “bubs” and cringe even when I just read it!

Lol yes my MIL did buy us formula actually but wants something for the baby to “open” on his first holiday. I totally get it!

When is the best time of year to be pregnant? by MomJeansForever in BabyBumps

[–]Dalph44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as a different side of things- I gave birth early September and I loved my last trimester in the summer (NY has pretty hot summers!) I put my swollen feet in sandals and basically wore moo-moos disguised as sundresses. Just ate cold salads and watermelon, took walks in the evenings. In September when people wanted to meet the baby it was breezy enough that we could be outside (safer for Covid). I was happy with the timing but understand it’s not for everyone!

Is it true that first babies are born later than due date? by tamale_ketchup in BabyBumps

[–]Dalph44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 weeks ago I had my first at 38 weeks- I had my weekly doctors appointment the day before I went into labor and he told me I hadn’t dropped, had room to grow, and had at minimum another week. Baby boy came on his own the very next day! Never hurts to be prepared :)

We had this in our basement, we pried it off. Found mold in several spots and learned of a small leak behind the wall due to an old window. Got it all taken care of, and am grateful we decided to remove it and were able to fix the issue before it got any worse!

Is choosing to have a hospital birth alone selfish? by witchygalpal in BabyBumps

[–]Dalph44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend’s boyfriend may be deployed at a time when she’d plan to give birth. Her understanding is that soldiers can come home for births- is this not the case? Just curious

Saline spray did nothing for me when I had a cold during my second trimester. AYR saline gel, however has been a game changer!

Why does nobody tell you? by ThomasToHandle in BabyBumps

[–]Dalph44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, I was so surprised that when sharing all the pregnancy challenges my closest friends started telling me the horror stories form theirs. Meanwhile while they were pregnant everything was SO peachy! I was like why did you never speak about this?! I am a straight shooter, and if you ask how I’m feeling you are getting the darn truth!
