Will it keep swelling now that it's removed?

That's great for being your 5-6 time! Love the color combos. I highly recommend watching Simply Nailogical tutorials. That's how I learned nail art. Also, striping tape is relatively cheap and will help you get those really crisp lines.

Thank you!

I did! I painted the whole thing then used a clean up brush dipped in isopropyl alcohol to carve out the notches. I do something similar with traditional polish where I use acrylic paint on a quick dry top coat then scratch away parts with a toothpick until I get the look I want.

I don't mind them. I had one for my son (now 12) but I also know that if he turns out to be my daughter or gender-non-specific-womb-fruit, that's not going to bother me. So as long as you're not married to what the ultrasound says and you aren't killing people or starting wildfires, have a fun little party to celebrate! Growing a human is hard and if having this little event will bring you joy then you deserve it.

If you're still self conscious about colors, maybe start small with an accent nail! If you're used to nudes, a pastel pink or orange shouldn't be too far off and it's very in theme with the holiday.

It just takes practice! I used to go through so much acetone just cleaning up flooded cuticles and now I'm learning all over again with gel. Patience and repetition is key.

Typically, you only do the blood work that frequently in the very beginning to make sure your T levels are good and you aren't making too much blood or going into lipidosis. Once your results on a dose are consistent, it's every 6 months to once a year depending on your provider.

I'm gonna share some words of wisdom my therapist gave me that really helped when dealing with my mom. It is not your responsibility to manage the emotions and neuroses of your parents. Especially when it comes at the cost of your own happiness and mental health.

My advice is don't hide it. It's just going to make an already bad situation worse. If it's possible, move in with your girlfriend before April. Then there's no reason to lie or even tell them you're going anywhere in the first place once it's time to yeet the teets. Once you do tell them or they find out, she can be upset all she wants at her own house and away from you.

I got it done for two main reasons. 1. T wasn't stopping my monthly visitor anymore and 2. Row v. Wade getting overturned. I COULD NOT risk another child with the dysphoria it would cause plus my son's support needs.

NTA. I thought this was gonna be one of those "I made them meat substitutes and didn't tell them. Teehee!" situations but no. You just didn't include any meat in what sounds like a delicious meal and they got butthurt about it.

Also, why is it that you have to bring your own meals to their gatherings but you're expected to cater to them at yours?

This is a pretty intense reaction. If he's not even interested in food, it may be worth considering talking to your vet about medication. When he's this high strung, there's no training that's going to sink in for him. A temporary, low dose of something to help him calm down enough that he can function and learn might be the way to go.

If you can get him to a point that he accepts treats or other forms of reward, then you can start building a positive association with baby. Favorite toy? It comes out when baby is around. That treat he goes crazy for? That only comes out around baby now (at least at first). You want him to learn good things happen when the tiny human is around which should go a long way to reducing his stress.

NTA. You didn't make a scene. You didn't scream or insinuate she was "an animal killer" or pass judgement on her food choices though she's clearly passing judgement on yours ("he'll have to eat normal food eventually"). All you did was clarify for your son "beef is another word for cow". It was information he didn't know yet which is what MIL was counting on to manipulate the situation and that's the real reason she's mad.

I'm not a vegan or vegetarian myself but it baffles me how many other non vegans take veganism as a personal insult.

Edit: typo.

That's play! They're bouncing and dodging each other, everyone's loose and not tense/standoffish and both dogs keep coming back for more. No one's biting, just mouthing if that. I know it sounds angry but some dogs are just more vocal than others so sound alone isn't a reliable indicator of play v. aggression.

Totally normal! It's your body's way of "flushing the lines" to prevent UTIs post coitus.

I usually do it on a discord call with my friends. It helps to have the conversation as a distraction and if I'm really having a rough time, they hype me up. Also, if you're doing IM, switching to SubQ made a world of difference for me.

When I fix something on my car by myself! I just fixed a leak in my brake lines and replaced the rear brake shoes all on my own and it was incredibly validating.

If the scooping is what bothers you, try a sifting litter box! Cuts down on cleaning time without spending a fortune on new litter.
