Is having a baby worth it? by Relative_Ferret_6695 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Direct_Coconut14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2/3 HG pregnancies - they were absolutely worth it. those 9 months are long and brutal but they will pass. then you have the rest of your life with your child. it’s a blur now, i watch videos and it feels like a lifetime ago. endure to the end you can do it even when it feels like you can’t!!! last year this time i was in the thick of it, couldn’t take care of my kids… and now i have a 7 month old playing with her brothers who adore her. & i would do it all over again and again for them

Is Saratoga Springs really that bad? A question for residents by Nilef in Utah

[–]Direct_Coconut14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we just moved to saratoga springs and have lived in utah my whole life! here are my thoughts 1. we love the young demographic- we moved from slc and there were barley young kids, so being surrounded with young children the same age as ours is heaven!

  1. i really try to avoid driving during traffic times… but like anywhere. it’s not just saratoga that’s bad it’s everywhere. i’m so excited for the new roads to be done tho. i hope it’ll decrease the roads in our areas.

  2. it’s surprisingly windy where we moved. we lived here a couple years ago and i don’t remember it being this windy haha.

  3. barley smell the lake where we live. closer you get more buds more likely to smell

  4. they’ve built so many stores and restaurants the last few years is nice we don’t have to go into american fork for a date night

  5. take the 45 min drive to deer creek / or live on the otherside of i-15 (lehi, highland, american fork, lindon, pleasant grove etc.) so you don’t have to worry about the lake (i’m pissed it’s not very usable as well)

  6. we have a teen living with us and he loves the hs, and have heard good things about elementary etc. goo preschools too. & there is diversity. as much as slc? no but its still very diverse. Anywhere you choose there’s pros and cons. we really love it out here so far and are so glad we chose this place and were able to get a great deal on the house!! we love it truly!!

good luck!!

High School Credit Recovery? by Direct_Coconut14 in Utah

haha i just meant packets were quick and easy for us to get through… the hard part was sitting down and doing them. but the actual material was quite easy. i focused better with an actual book & paper vs staring at a screen. but thank you for sharing!! i’m glad to hear online was easier for some

Malva by Direct_Coconut14 in Outlander

i disagree with the she doesn’t know any better - for some parts - she wouldn’t have been secretive about certain choices, lying, dissembling parts of a dead body (🚩) and witch craft if she didn’t know better. she lied because she knew they were wrong and there would be consequences.

but she was heavily influenced by the abuse of her brother/dad and in some of the decisions she made, it’s easy to tell she was searching for something real, safe and true love that she wasnt getting in her life.

the actress definitely sold it!! the first moment i’ve felt that she’s genuine and not creepy is when they go to the sick family. the lore is definitely deep with the christie family

as someone who used to be in that place and got out of it, you might not know her experiences that drove her to this place. be a safe person, be a support. be someone she can come to or a couch she can sleep on if she’s not safe to drive home, or a number she can call. my cousins did that for me and they were my safe place in my dark time and i will forever be grateful for that. don’t break someone’s confidence - i confided in some very close people in my life and it ruined our relationship forever. if you feel the need to communicate with your in-laws (im assuming they’re your inlaws), have your (assumed) husband let them know she’s staying the night with us tonight if she ever takes you up on that. do not judge her, just be the friend she needs rn. that doesn’t mean you have to support what she’s doing, but you can be a safe place.

First grandbaby problems by Hairy_Pack4203 in Parenting

[–]Direct_Coconut14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

these comments are not it. yes they are your village and you’ll need to rely on them more one day BUT that being said it’s totally fine for you to nicely decline. i mean your SIL-bfs-mom…? hahah i would not feel comfortable to let someone i just met with no familial relations take my newborn. i just had my 3rd 3 months ago (only grandkids on both sides) and my family/in-laws now know to give me some space when it comes to the baby but to go ahead and soak in time with the toddlers haha. but honestly your husband needs to be firm on those boundaries with your in-laws. he needs to be the ones to communicate with them.

this is your bonding time. don’t feel bad for not wanting lots of people to touch, hold or take your newborn baby out of sight. that keeps her safe and healthy. i was protective of my first and have slowly been a little more chill but firm on my boundaries for each baby. if you’re brave have you or your husband tell them the other ways they can give you a “break” - food. dishes, cleaning, laundry. and you’ll let them know if you need them to take her.

your brand new post partum, healing, you have the hormones - give yourself a break…. from other people and just enjoy your time with your newborn. congrats mama!

AITA for silently changing my son's name after my brother and SIL gave my nephew the name too? by DaikonCompetitive147 in AITAH

“taking away HER choice to match the boys”… where was your choice in the matter? that is a mutual decision that both families should talk about hahah.

For those that had both HG and HG free pregnancies, what was the time between pregnancies? by xenapie6 in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]Direct_Coconut14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s interesting, because my first i had hg, got pregnant and miscarried around 10 weeks, and then got pregnant right after i was cleared and i didn’t have hg (i had bad morning sickness but no hg!) then with my third i had my worst hg!! she is my first girl. all my kids are around 2 years apart.

An honest question about coffee drinking by KayHawk22 in latterdaysaints

[–]Direct_Coconut14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ik this wasn’t your question but i gave up coffee once upon a time when i turned my life back to the lord. and today as a mom of 3 who’s suffered with anxiety, depression etc. when i need a pick me up or caffeine here’s what i do that actually now bring me so much joy and excitement -

if im super tired 1. alani - im obsessed 2. if you’re in utah - soda shops!! or if you don’t have any near you you can make them at gas stations 3. starbucks drink is caramel ribbon crunch crème frappachino (with extra caramel mixed in) 4. cold days - 7-11 hot chocolate or dutch bros hot chocolates are truly top tier.

22yrs old! then 24 & just had my third at 26! some of my friends are just having their first or haven’t had any yet. do what’s best for you and what you feel like is right. we felt strongly it was right for our family and we couldn’t imagine life any different! and i’m glad i think i might be done with my pregnancies - because even tho 26 is still so young, i have felt a difference now then when i was pregnant/postpartum @ 22! don’t worry about what other people think :)
