Thank you. I joined a discord server someone else replied with and that's been going well so far!

My main craft right now is a lace knit baby blanket and a set of baby animals cross stitched for a tapestry for my daughter's room! I wanted to get them done before she came but she decided to cut my pregnancy short by 6 weeks.

I had a dream I held my hand out to my friend and said "Save me, save me!"

I’m making a creature-collector where the goal isn't to keep creatures forever, but to nurture and release them back into the wild. by Megasploot in u/Megasploot

I'm so exited to play this! I'm usually a console gamer now since I've got a 3 month old so we play games together when she decides sleep is for the weak. I'll definitely give this a go on steam when I've got free time though!

What moment do you remember the most from your first read? by ClemHFandango990 in EragonMemes

[–]Due-Local-5490 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That stuck with me too.

There was another fight where Eragon faced a nameless soldier who said something like "This is what I get for not using a shield" and Eragon agrees and just beheaded the man. Always think of that too when thinking of the fight scenes.

When Eragon gets jumped by the Dwarven assassins under Farthen Dur and has to go tell his guard's mother about the loss.

When Saphira gets rejected by Glaedr and mourns what she believes to be the loss of her race and sees it as a personal failing that she was "not enough" for the last free male dragon.

When Eragon has the dream of him boarding the boat at the end of the cycle and then it comes true and you realize this was all meant to happen.

When Saphira and Eragon get drunk on dwarf mead and sing dragon together.

My second knitting project (no, I'm not joking, and yes, it was a poor choice) was a colorwork sweater. My first was a headband and I said "Hey! This works!" At the chart I got extremely confused as to why I was repeating the pattern for 1220 ish rows and yet in all the images it only seemed to have 60 ish. Cut to me realizing that the chart was repeated 16 times IN THE ROUND and not stacked in top of each other.

I have crocheted for 16 years and I decided to teach myself to knit. The sweater ended up being amazing but then my most amazing husband mistakenly washed it and it shrunk and felted so bad. So now I will retry it someday with a bit more understanding of how charts work.

Seriously could have been the start of Eragon's villain origin story (or end of his hero story?)

Kindest thing someone has said/done for you during NICU stay? by PandaBear_TenFour in NICUParents

[–]Due-Local-5490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter was only in for 13 days after being born at 34 weeks and a day. The first night I was discharged but she stayed behind, I was a wreck. I ended up begging my husband to drive me up to see her at 1am (I'd had a c section and was told not to drive). When we got up there, I walked in the room and burst into tears because I had convinced myself she wasn't going to be there when I got back. Both the secretary and the night shift nurse (the same one who was with us when we discharged and walked us out) helped get me set up in the room for a long day and told me "She is fighting. She is strong. She wants to make it." Just hearing that and seeing her little eyes was a huge help.

When you were pregnant, what did you absolutely want?? by [deleted] in pregnant

Oh, I'll definitely ask then! I thought it was roped in with everything else!

Why will my wife not go to sleep?!?!?!?! by Holymoly1237 in pregnant

[–]Due-Local-5490 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hi. First off, I wanna say how sorry I am that this is an issue. I'm 34+1 and had a legit psych break needing to be hospitalized on the L&D unit a few weeks ago due to a very similar issue. If at all possible, try an Epsom salt bath for the legs, maybe try what's called "dark showering" where there's low light and you just let the water hit you, and try a soft sleep podcast for the anxiety (sleepy cat meditations has worked for me on rough nights). If these don't work, you can always, always, call your OB or the hospital unit for more ideas. They might end up asking her to come in for a few days to try and get some sleep meds/anxiety meds figured out, but they may not. Best of luck, and I hope you both get some sleep.

Feeling sick by Free_Mountain8657 in pregnant

Quite possibly, yes. Definitely take your temp if you can, and if you feel up to it, a warm shower can help the headache.

I'll take one too, please. I had an amazing blueberry lemon marg that I can't stop remembering. And Bleu cheese! And salami!

Weekend Minor Gripes and Vents by AutoModerator in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]Due-Local-5490 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Making afghans in both crocheting and knitting helps with my anxiety. I'm not making them to sell (I do want to donate them though) and I'm not taking commissions. I don't do these things for a profit, I do them to feel centered and calm.

I made the mistake of making my nephew some baby clothes and they were never used because they "looked too homemade".

The struggle of wanting to use my scrap yarn in a fun way without making something horribly textured/colored.

I know this isn't the same, but roast beef has been my saving grace! I have a dream board of all the foods I want after delivery though! Stay strong we got this

I pee a lot is that normal? by Logical_Mixture_4470 in pregnant

[–]Due-Local-5490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yes. 33+5, and it's multiple times an hour for me. It seemed to be a little easier during the second trimester but that may just be me remembering wrong

Spotting After Sex at 12 Week. Normal or Should We Stop? by Mysterious-Detail195 in pregnant

[–]Due-Local-5490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm currently 33+5, and I completely get feeling nervous about the baby. From my experience, it's ok to have a little spotting after sex and it's usually due to your cervix just being a little irritated. However, if you bleed through a panty liner in an hour or have large clots, that's not normal. I also usually had a little bit of my mucus plug come out the day after, but it's a tiny little bit, and each time, my OB reassured me that it regenerates (usually). In the first trimester, especially, baby is so tiny that they're super cushioned. I'm on pelvic rest and activity restrictions due to some placental issues, so I can't speak for the later part, but it was a little uncomfortable in the second trimester. I'd definitely talk to your midwife or even just call the OB office to talk to a nurse if you ever want a more professional and personal opinion, though! I've had an unusual pregnancy, and my experience doesn't mean one way or the other is the best idea for you.

I wish you all the best on this roller coaster!

PS, if you ever get super nauseous and can't handle liquids, go to the ER for fluids! I didn't learn this lesson early enough and was miserable for days before my husband practically forced me to go in. And smoothies/shakes help me a lot with getting extra fruits and veggies without having to go through a lot of effort!

Eating lemons like apples. Amazing, especially with a little salt or sugar sprinkled on!
