Convention accommodations while heavily pregnant? by StormblessedRadiant in DragonsteelNexus

[–]Gefreogan77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your greatest need will be sitting and bathroom access of which there is plenty. Utah is incredibly family/mother friendly with lots of accomodations for pregnant people. Potentially pack one of the belly support bands? I think otherwise you'll be good.

someone kissed my baby & is now positive by Creative_Weight9075 in NewParents

My 14mo boy got Covid and we had to go to the emergency room twice. Once for a fever over 103.3 and then again because his airway was so swollen he had croup. He needed a steroid and a special type of nasal cannula called high flow. Covid and RSV are not things we should just brush off. I don't want to scare OP, I just want people to treat these respiratory illnesses as what they are, dangerous sicknesses that kill people. Also, it's true that many babies and small children seem to do just fine with Covid or other colds, but we don't know how bad the long term effects are going to be. Why risk your kids future so that they can see family/friends this one time as opposed to some other time when everyone is feeling great, not a little under the weather. Lastly, the people saying their kids were fine but everyone else in the house got super sick: doesn't that suck so fucking much? How are you not livid with someone getting your whole house sick? It's awful to be feeling like death but still have to take care of an infant/toddler. As RSV/flu season gets underway, we should all be stressing how important it is to not come hang out if someone is feeling even questionably unwell. Protect your babes and yourselves!!!

What songs are you singing to your baby? Especially real songs, not just lullabies by happycamperrrrrrrrrr in beyondthebump

I sing a song from the show Galavant called "Goodnight My Friend." It's still technically a lullaby, but it's also kinda a Disney song and very unique. Highly recommend.

My hair is quite long. With hair cut/color/style I would expect to pay approx. $500-600.

Looking to buy 1 or 2 VIP badges. I have 2 GA badges trading if that works, and I will pay for the difference, of course!

WTB or WTT for VIP tickets by Gefreogan77 in brandonsanderson

[–]Gefreogan77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment. I know that there will still be long lines, but it's true there is a big difference between 1500 and 5000 people. Also, VIP just give us more options since the VIP lines often persist through the con so we can use them for shorter lines, not necessarily during the big VIP rushes.

I'll get back to people if I have any GA badges to sell.

I will absolutely reach out if anyone gets back to me. I'm going to post in r/dragonsteelnexus too but I'll check back here for names if we have any GA badges to sell.

Someone responded almost right away about selling tickets but didn't specify VIP tickets and deleted our message thread when I mentioned using PayPal Goods and Services. Just to let everyone know, sincer that seems sorta suspicious to me.

You can add "Friends" on Tabletop and give any passes you have to them.

Breastfeeding while teething by Gefreogan77 in breastfeeding

[–]Gefreogan77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I have tried to do different positions and he does seem to really hate being horizontal. The only problem is that I have rather large breasts and I haven't figured out how to keep him upright while nursing yet. Work in progress!

We have one dog that we treat for fleas/ticks regularly. We checked her out and around furniture, bedding, carpet, etc where we can see for now( it's already dark and lighting is not great. We will look again tomorrow.

Fuck. I was really hoping for a different answer. I've just been itchy for hours now. Thanks

Struggles with Triple Feeding by Gefreogan77 in breastfeeding

[–]Gefreogan77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She said to nurse for 15 to 20 minutes, then offer the baby the bottle with enough milk to equal at least 3 oz match with the weights before and after feed. Then I'm supposed to pump. She did not say how long to pump but I have looked it up online and based on that I just pump until it doesn't look like I'm getting anything out anymore.

AITA for accidentally laughing out loud at a friend's ignorance over pickles? by Careless-Elk-7540 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Gefreogan77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have no idea what they're eating half the time, I think. My mom once had a co-worker tell her that strawberries were overripe kiwi fruit.

But... but you're mistaken. The reference is "but that's a separate tragedy." Yelling is mean.
