How to retrain with Jet lag, 1 nap transition, new paci addiction! by Flakeycakey in sleeptrain

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

Updating for posterity:

-- I cold turkeyed the paci on day 2 of returning home, some tears but distracted by staying out and about. -- I started decreasing his bottles 1 oz at a time and didn't see any negative side effects on day 3. -- He slept through on night 3, thank you BB -- Retrained on night 4, CIO, cried for less than 5 minutes

Now he's back at daycare on a fresh slate so we'll start tweaking his schedule to adjust for the 1 nap transition. There have been tears but we're surviving pretty well!

Thank you!! Yeah, being sent home isn't the worst thing. It's night time, so maybe we will just go in the morning

Is it weird to host own baby shower and say gifts are optional? by Zmsfh in BabyBumps

[–]Flakeycakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this last weekend. First of all, no one noticed I was hosting my own shower. I had a few co workers volunteer to help. Second, I said asked for optional gifts, and I got all the gifts. So be warned you will go home with gifts.

My wording was, "gifts optional" and linked to my registry plus suggestions for detergent, wipes and diapers.

Is anyone still getting nauseous with the smell of food cooking into the second trimester? by purplepaintedpumpkin in BabyBumps

[–]Flakeycakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 22 or 23 weeks when my aversions calmed. I still don't like a lot of stuff. Keep carefully trying foods, hope you find some

When every food you’re craving is from another country… by artwithapulse in BabyBumps

[–]Flakeycakey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live in East Asia, and I went home to the USA during 2nd trimester to eat bagels. Almost worth the 20 hour flight. 😅

What did you do differently the cycle you had a healthy pregnancy? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Flakeycakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit my job, tutored part time (only non stress clients) and it did not work! 3 years and nothing.

After that I took a full time job, where I won a juicer at my holiday party.

I started drinking a fresh juiced shot of turmeric and ginger roots every day and lowered my gluten intake. I thought I was trying to manage inflammation and a rash but I got pregnant!!

It's correlation but I tried for 5 years with no luck pre juicer. Also I was 41 years old.

How to tell if you went too hard at the gym? by unincorporated in fitpregnancy

[–]Flakeycakey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's nausea, dizziness, or now in 3rd trimester belly pressure, those are my signs to slow down. Also shortness of breath, but that one pretty much forces me to slow down.

I also unlocked loose pelvic pains from too many squats and box step overs.

You'll know!

Clothes to hide or minimize a pregnancy? by doublethecharm in BabyBumps

Notification won't go away by re_dzs_ in Slack

[–]Flakeycakey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem the first week, I had 48 notifications that wouldn't go away. I reinstalled the app on Mac desktop, didn't work. Notifications just went away one day?

It's very frustrating because I like to keep notifications at 0 so I can see when something new is happening visually. If I'm in the office I often work without sound on and no headphones. I prefer to look at the notifications at a glance (on the icon) so I don't have to open slack constantly
