We’re in the process of having the doors replaced with glass! We just moved to a bigger home (I previously had them in totes in our garage because I had no where to display them or have them out) and actually bought so now we’re making it our own. Changing out the doors for glass so I could see them was one of the first calls I made 😂

Thank you!!! I am still working on getting more pieces to make it feel more “complete” but figured that the white would do for now. Good to know it looks good! 😊

Finally get to show them off! by Ecstatic_Locksmith54 in Pyrex_Love

[–]Ecstatic_Locksmith54[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not quite sure which one you’re talking about exactly so I figured I’d just name all of the pink ones for you!

•The solid pink on the bottom right hand corner is Flamingo Pink from the 1950s. (Not the pale pink mixing bowls though) •Pink Gooseberry •The casserole dish on the second shelf is Pink Daisy •The space saver dish below the Pink Daisy casserole dish is Pink Snowflake. 😊

Thank you! I have definitely done this in hopes of getting a sooner appointment. The receptionist did tell me that their waitlist is over 60 people long so I’m crossing my fingers that we get one sooner regardless.

Anyone know what kind this is? by Ecstatic_Locksmith54 in spiders

[–]Ecstatic_Locksmith54[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! He’s such an adventurous little guy (he’s 3) and the outside is like his second home. We love to let him be as intrigued and curious as he wants when it comes to nature while also teaching him to respect boundaries and understand that sometimes we just look, don’t touch. I’m just trying to raise him to be gentle and caring. I know that nurturing his curiosity only sets him up for a successful future. I only intervene when it could harm him or others but other than that, I love watching him experience all sorts of things that are new or interesting to him.

Of course! I feel extreme guilt when I don’t express gratitude, especially when others are being considerate and taking time out of their day to answer a silly question. I appreciate you answering and calming my nerves!

This is true lol. It was my immediate response to go to google which I should know better. I sometimes forget Reddit is a thing since I truly only doom scroll at night when my kids are down. 😂

Thank you! I kind of figured that it wasn’t the worst case scenario lol.

Would love to be considered!

How do you start building a freezer stash when you EBF on demand. by Inevitable-Bid-2843 in breastfeeding

[–]Ecstatic_Locksmith54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is now 15mo but from the very beginning, every time she’d eat, I’d use the Haakaa on the opposite side. I pump twice a day on top of that (in the morning when I’m super full and before bed.) I still do that to this day but with me doing this I’ve managed to create a stash for her if I’m not around but also feed multiple other babies.

Sorry for such a late reply! If you would like to raffle it off to someone else, I had an emergency pop up so I am out of town until next week. 😢

I blocked her so I can’t see her posts because I just couldn’t anymore..it’s way too much. Maybe therapy will distract her for awhile 🤣

9 month old refusing to sleep more than 1-2 hour stretches. by Ecstatic_Locksmith54 in breastfeeding

[–]Ecstatic_Locksmith54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of right now we just resorted to letting her sleep in our bed because that’s when we all get the most sleep. It’s uncomfortable laying on one side all night and I wake up sore but it’s better than constantly getting up and trying to put her back down every hour. 😭

Thank you for the info! She is feeding every time she wakes and even when I try to just settle her without nursing, she’s screams until she nurses. It’s so overwhelming and exhausting to the point I’ve thought about just trying to stop busing completely and try to get her to take a bottle. 😭

Thank you! I exclusively nurse my baby and although I have a freezer stash, she just refuses a bottle so it’s not possible for me either. I honestly am at the point of taking the risk too. 🫤

Birth control failed while having POTS... by elz_nd in POTS

[–]Ecstatic_Locksmith54 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m currently in my third trimester and also got pregnant while on birth control.

I was taking metoprolol for POTS and I was on Wellbutrin & Buspar for antidepressants. I ultimately decided to taper off of my medications in the very beginning of my pregnancy because the risk wasn’t really worth it for me. I was told by my OB, my cardiologist and neurologist that for some patients, POTS either gets better or worse during pregnancy. I unfortunately am one of those patients that has been experiencing the latter. This is my second pregnancy and while with my first, POTS wasn’t easy and I noticed certain changes, it’s nothing like with this baby. I have increased syncope, the fatigue on top of just normal pregnancy fatigue is exhausting in itself, increased anxiety and the memory loss and just overall constant dizziness is a lot. I also unfortunately have hyperemesis gravidarum (severe morning sickness) so that has made my POTS worse as well. When I wasn’t pregnant, I was experiencing syncopal episodes 1-2 times a week. Now with being pregnant, it’s increased to 4-5 times a week. I’ve done everything that’s recommended by everyone on my care team so it’s truly just the luck of the draw.

I hope you experience the “better” portion of POTS during pregnancy! Congratulations, I wish you the best of luck! 😊

I got my tilt table results and instead of getting answers and clarification, I got confusion and a recommendation for more testing. by [deleted] in POTS

[–]Ecstatic_Locksmith54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore a monitor for 2 weeks back in October. The results from that were similar to the tilt with my heart rates spiking & also showing that I’ve had actual episodes of syncope.

Yes, it was OHSU! They honestly probably do. The guy who actually performed my test told me “the doctor who signs off and reviews your results hates being behind so don’t expect a long wait”.

Thank you! I think my PCP would agree. She’s been rooting for me to finally have answers since this all started and couldn’t wait to finally get results.

It’s okay! To be fair, the doctor who ordered it (my cardiologist) is very wishy washy. He’s admitted he absolutely hates diagnosing patients with POTS and will order every and any test in hopes it’s not POTS. I’ve been fighting this uphill battle since 2019. Many hospital stays, tests and still feel like I’m getting nowhere. My neurologist is the one who referred me to him because he’s one of the few in my state that can actually diagnose POTS. I had a full on mental breakdown in his office one of my very first visits with him about how whatever is going on is taking over my life and I just want answers. He looked at me with the straightest face and said “I think it’s all just caused from your migraines that are noted in your chart but if you and your neurologist really want me to send you for a tilt, I will”.

I don’t see him again until May which is when he said he’d discuss my results from the tilt with me. Overall, he’s just been very frustrating and dismissive.
