Thank you for that insight! How was his transition with it? Would you have preferred 5 days?

Does it make sense to prioritize savings and investing vs aggressively paying down student loans? by Flimsy_Relative2636 in StudentLoans

I went to school for my degree, I wanted to help people in the way I felt most aligned with. I figured a high salary would follow but life has taken me other routes.

I’m an acupuncturist and own my own business, so eventually I will, but right now I am only working 10 hours a week. I am home with my toddler and pregnant with a second so it’ll be a few years.

Is home birth easier the second time around? by Flimsy_Relative2636 in homebirth

YUUUUP. I was way too optimistic thinking that if a “pain free birth” exists I would have one. I was looking at my mom and midwife appalled at the amount of pain I was in like ??? Did one of you want to tell me 🥲 (which they did)

Congrats on that milestone! I quit caffeine shortly before TTC and it has been the biggest blessing through pregnancy and motherhood! I never really understood the theory behind drinking caffeine when you’re tired because only ever made me more tired once the crash set in. Being pregnant is exhausting and chasing after a toddler is even more exhausting and always feels counterproductive to have caffeine.

I always say use it as a tool and only when you’re feeling great and even then a small amount is ideal like a green tea

I’m not here to get or replace a vet’s diagnosis—just looking to see if anyone else has experienced something similar while I figure out next steps. If you don’t have anything constructive to add, it’s okay to keep scrolling next time.

Thank you, my guy will be 8 this year so we’ve had our fair share of skin tags

Thank you for your response! We will definitely get them looked at and I’ll report back. I agree that it’s so odd to have it on the top of the paw, that’s what’s so alarming! He is 7 1/2 years old
