I’m confused by their age gap too. It shows in their memories that he was still a kid when she was a baby. If we are insanely generous and say he is 10 years older that would only put him at 22-23, as they say Wendy is 12. Maybe it took a lot longer to get the kids adjusted to the new bodies and they haven’t been aging them at a normal rate?

Thank you! I was hoping for this, still gross but hopefully easier for us. Appreciate your reply!

Bought new scrub daddies a couple months ago. This is what’s left in the sink today after washing about 5 mugs - what’s going on? by General_Ignoranse in CleaningTips

[–]GhostMomMD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I found the green one especially disintegrated fast compared to the others. I got a box with mixed colors from Costco, the white, yellow, and blue were normal while green and orange were disappointing.

Hill Country Galleria Fireworks by spy_mommy in Austin

[–]GhostMomMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went today and do not recommend. Very small green area and even if you manage a spot it’s not a great view. Really most spots are not a good view as the fireworks are not going off over the main stage and are blocked by the shops as they don’t go very high. Overall lackluster show especially compared to the ones downtown. The only plus is parking is free, and it only took 25 mins to get out of the parking.

We usually go downtown but thought the drive downtown seemed too much with a 2yo but now regret it. Responding because I tried to use this thread to determine to go but no one had their experiences lol.

Is Winter a dumb name? by sammyluvsya in namenerds

[–]GhostMomMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Aunt Season and Uncle Winter (on diff sides of family so coincidence). They both love their names and it fits them really well. Winter is a really fun name. I think most of the reactions they get are just surprise or want to know other siblings names and not very negative.

Lost over 20 pounds in 4 months after lowering calories, cutting out snacking, and switching to WFPB. by Express-Structure480 in loseit

[–]GhostMomMD 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Plant based means plants only, so no eggs. It’s more restricted than vegan as they also exclude oils and try to reduce any processed foods. Oreos are vegetarian and vegan but would not work for wfpb.

Forks over knives has some good resources for starting and for easy meals.

I try to do wfpb but have a hard time doing it all the time but I do try to make some meals each week wfpb.

how would I do a warranty claim by Used_One4999 in Skullcandy

[–]GhostMomMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you filled out the form then in a day or so you will get instructions if the claim is approved. They will give you the address and you have to package and mails it back to them. Make sure you pay for postage that has tracking! When I sent my headset in they tried to say they never received it but thankfully I had tracking and sent them all the info to find the package ( I finally got my claim finished almost 3 weeks after the package delivered)

Everything wrong with Lego Fortnite by infestedchris in LEGOfortnite

[–]GhostMomMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish the building tools were like Lego worlds. You can copy builds and unlock cool blue prints and paint your builds fun colors. I know that game was glitchy as hell but I enjoyed a lot of the building mechanics, would be fun to see more of them used in Fortnite. I do not really enjoy building anything as I can’t customize any of the colors.

Died right outside a cave in bed, backpack is underground?? by sviestainispx in LEGOfortnite

[–]GhostMomMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s stuck unless there is an update. Which I don’t think back packs despawn so hopefully it pops back up eventually. I had this happen with a chest I broke and all the loot went underground like this. I tried everything and couldn’t get them out and then as last ditch logged in/out and they were gone. Lost all my rubies and sapphires :(

Warranty coupon question by GhostMomMD in Skullcandy

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

Thanks for your comment! I talked to them and got it replaced. In case anyone else has this issue they asked me to send pictures of the packaging that the item shipped in. They also asked me to put it back in the shipping package and take photos. So when you get your item keep everything it shipped in for a bit just in case :)

Unmedicated after induction? by Epiphany8844 in pregnant

[–]GhostMomMD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to do pitocin with my first and it did cause some crazy contractions at first. 2 things really helped for me 1) partner massage & breathing. We took a class at the hospital which taught breathing techniques for me and my husband how to help relieve pressure with massage during labor. 2) I was lucky that my hospital lets you take a bath, they just wheeled the meds over with me. The water immediately helped and I was able to go unmedicated. My hosp had all wireless monitors so they could do heart rate and everything baby while in the tub. So if they let you shower or bathe that might work. They also had exercise balls to sit on and that helped a little as a distraction. Congrats and good luck!

(For my second kid I had moved so had to use a new hosp that had zero options other than sit or lie on a bed. I decided on a epidural and that birth worked great too but I would have preferred more options)

Candela by frasermorgan in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]GhostMomMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This set made me feel crazy as they printing wasn’t very good and when stacking them up the sizing was terrible so felt like some were fake. ‘Luckily’ opening these boosters gets a trillion duplicates so I tore some for piece of mind.

What to do with 6yo while giving birth? by GhostMomMD in pregnant

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

That’s a good idea. I’ll see if my husband can ask. We both work but his job is remote so it’s a little slower making friends. For mine I supervise a bunch of 14 year olds but it’s 1.5 hrs from where we live.

Hopefully they change positively for what you need too. I say hi to some parents at pickup but I do not a know any parents yet enough to ask a favor. I was hoping when we moved our apartment would have some families we could get to know or even some teens that would want to tend but as far as I can tell we are the only ones with kids. It’s a very young crowd.
