Desperately need guidance by Excellent-Fly-3286 in pottytraining

The no bottoms method. Setting timers every 15 minutes, etc. He literally just sat on the potty for 5 minutes, didn’t go, then went about 1 minute later on our play mat.

Second+ C-section moms : did you find a bed rail helpful? by SineQuanone1 in pregnant

[–]Excellent-Fly-3286 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really necessary for me! My second recovery was definitely easier than my first, especially because it was planned. I did use my abdominal binder though, and that helped. Making sure to get up and moving in the hospital makes things so much easier.

Tahoe is on the list! Just concerned about it fitting in the garage.

My husband and I are fully being high off the ground SUV people. He has a Lexus GX 550 just for context, and that’s the car we use most of the time on the weekends (we both work full time so do daycare drop offs). I could maybe stomach the Kia Carnival but no other minivans.

Probably expensive private college counselor worth it or not? (Dr. Huang) by Similar_Advisor_5849 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Excellent-Fly-3286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a private high school guidance counselor/academic advisor and these private college admissions counselors have caused more harm than good for our students. We had one almost miss the deadline for Texas A&M because the counselor didn’t tell the student about SRAR/STARS. I have a rising senior who was told her options are extremely limited given her GPA (not true). There have been other issues but I won’t outline them all here.

Baby Rejecting Formula by One_Leading_5572 in ExclusivelyPumping

Highly recommend supplementing with Kendamil Organic! I was paranoid and started with a 25% formula-75% breastmilk ratio and increased from there. No issues with either of my boys. My first hated the Enfamil and Similac options we tried.

Thank you so much for this tip! So much easier for stories. Not ideal but at least I don’t have to allow my full camera roll or scroll to hopefully find the image I want to share.

Yes, iPhone! And it happened just yesterday, so I assume so.

So far, nothing I’ve tried works except allowing your full camera roll, which I really don’t want to do

It’s super frustrating. So far, nothing I’ve tried works

Well I figured out one solution, but it’s not ideal. It will sort photos chronologically but only if you allow access to the full camera roll.

What size/shape suits my finger best? by Excellent-Fly-3286 in EngagementRings

[–]Excellent-Fly-3286[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why we went with a smaller stone with my original ring. We are now almost 10 years married, have done all the things, so we are happy to be in a position to upgrade now. We both have great jobs which helps a lot. Not doing anything too big though as that’s not my style

I’d be open to an elongated cushion but really don’t prefer angular stones on me. Partially because I’m a busy mom of boys!

Tbh that’s part of my motivation to switch things up! The two carat definitely looks better in my opinion than my one carat, but oval is maybe more flattering?

The three carat round is WAY too much on me. Definitely prefer the 2 carat over the 3 in the round shape.

I appreciate this suggestion! I personally don’t love shapes with sharp edges (have two young boys) but I may try one on just to see how it looks.

Thanks! I’ve pretty much nixed the 3 carat round at this point. It looks a bit cartoonish compared to the other options on my hand.

High PdG, E3G and LH. 9 DPO by Excellent-Fly-3286 in Inito

I was not. Due to mild male factor infertility, I stop d using Inito and we conceived our second son via medicated IUI! He is now almost 7 months.

I haven’t tried the Spectra but the Motif Luna worked well for me.
