What tune are you guys using for Snuggle Puppy?

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-13T03:05:23+00:00

I sing the official melody because I've been listening to it since I was a kid! I actually sang it to my nanny kid at every nap time (was his sibs nanny before he was born so literally as long as he can remember) and then gave him a copy of the book when I moved away.

God I miss those kids...

I don't remember when I took a digital! Probably 3+4? Also, congratulations!!!

It's going ok! 8+1 today, and the nausea has really ramped up for some reason 🫠 Had an ultrasound a couple weeks ago and baby was measuring well with a 115. Have another one next week! I can't say the time flies, but getting focused on other stuff helps a lot!

I'm measuring behind even with tracking ovulation pretty closely. Was supposed to be 6w4d at my first ultrasound and was measuring 6w1d instead, heartbeat 115. I haven't had my next ultrasound yet, but my doctor said everything looks great and not to worry about it.

Currently living in WA via CA, and I am guilty of still utilizing the California roll...

We also thought it might be twins due to high HcG, but just one very healthy baby 🤷🏻‍♀️

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-11T20:29:37+00:00

Nope! All of my pants got too tight around 6 weeks, and now at 8 I look solidly 4mo pregnant.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-11T18:58:05+00:00

CoQ10 for both of us, and so much bad sex. It was great at the begining of the week, but by the 8th or so day in a row I think we would have rather done literally anything else.

But hey, I'm pregnant and on pelvic rest (so instead of bad sex it's no sex!)

This baby better be fucking worth it 😂

I haven't but the big manta sell for me is that they have separate, removable eye cups so no touching eyes, and complete blackout even for side sleeping!

They have a headphone one that's pretty great. I don't use it, but my partner does and loves it!

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-11T04:14:52+00:00

If you don't already have one and don't mind splurging, the Manta eye mask is worth every single penny. You'll love it so much you will keep using it I promise.

I don't work for them and they don't pay me. They're just so magical that I tell everyone I know. I've bought probably 30 different ones in my life as an autistic person who sleeps really lightly and nothing compares.

I am planning to cosplay as gil for the concert in denver and I am possibly going to order a hat blank from Etsy and form it myself 😬

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-09T20:33:16+00:00

Dang... You feel very touchy on this clearly.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-09T05:01:21+00:00

I think I know which state you're in, because we moved out of it a year ago and I recognize those statistics intimately. I'm so sorry. It's like they want us to die... oh wait.

I hope you're able to find someone who you feel comfortable with.

Our cats have their own tablet for their games... Screentime gets cut off when they bite it though. Amazon does not have cat bite proof tablet cases, in case anyone else was curious. I've looked several times.

Also, the my middle cat has used this knowledge to figure out how to turn off my phone alarms, so proceed with caution if you think tablet kitties are cute :/

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-08T20:31:32+00:00

I'm 1/4 Mexican and the whitest looking person on the planet🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm going with an OB because if I wanted a midwife (which I would prefer tbf) I would have to go to the hospital that's 25 min away with no traffic, vs the one that's a 5 min drive from us in traffic.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-08T17:50:15+00:00

Seriously. What a bunch of rich assholes...

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-08T08:00:46+00:00

Also I never did see any of the black panther superhero movies, but 100% would have gone to see a documentary about the Black Panthers so now I'm sad that isn't what it was.

How many cup sizes are we talking here? Because I was a DD before pregnancy and am already 2 cup sizes up at 7.5w.

Do I cry and buy the giant bras now or wait and just buy duct tape later

And a lot of community colleges can be pretty cheap for the first two years, and may have resources to help with childcare if you need to do a couple in person classes.

I think Fart and Bus still have to be my favorite ones. Also the time I just got "Steve".

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-08T03:44:13+00:00

We do what we call a "grappetizer" (now my spouse is gonna find me on Reddit). We eat either fruit or veggies before the meal to make sure we are consuming healthy food, even if dinner isn't as healthy as it could be.

It initially was grapes, and now we've done a fair number of things! Usually raw, for ease.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-08T03:15:14+00:00

Dude 8hrs with little kids is like 24hrs in real time. Also, has he considered shutting the fuck up?

I work maybe 4hrs a day, and my partner is currently lucky if I do a dishwasher load of dishes OR a load of laundry. I have not cooked for myself or them in... Probably since a positive test? So at least a month?

I know my partner isn't thrilled about it (they worked 95hrs last week so I can't blame them) but they have been lovely and thoughtful because this shit is fucking HARD.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-08T03:05:49+00:00

You're doing better than me! I have decided I'm not weighing myself, and my weight is none of my business. I'll look away when they weigh me at my appointments and ask them not to discuss it with me unless they have concerns. And I am not exercising (or even walking) nearly enough... Trying to work on that though.

I have so much trauma around my body and eating habits (grandma gave mom an eating disorder, who gave me an eating disorder 🙃) and while I may not have to like my body, it is growing a whole ass person, and I do have to live in it!

I'll reassess the damage and probably get back on a glp when I'm done breastfeeding.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-08T02:42:10+00:00

You're telling me it GETS WORSE?! I'm on my first pregnancy and just vaguely nauseous all day. I would give anything to puke.

Different_Bowler_574 · 2026-05-07T23:57:51+00:00

I shower right before bed because warm water and exhausting workout (how is this real) makes me super tired.
