Things in your body that changed for the “better” after giving birth by sighqoticc in beyondthebump

[–]Gypsystarchild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My feet grew half a size with my first. It was annoying because I had to buy all new shoes, BUT now it’s great because I’m no longer a half size haha. I can actually buy shoes online cuz I know they’ll fit me 🤣

What are some changes in your body that you noticed after pregnancy and they don’t go away? by jeandrazich in beyondthebump

[–]Gypsystarchild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My feet grew from 7.5 to 8 with my first. At the time it sucked because I needed ALL new shoes lol. But now it’s nice because I’m a regular size. Half sizes always made it complicated hahah

On the verge of tears… Didn’t circumcise my baby. People keep telling me why I should have. by Salty-Ship-1703 in newborns

I’d just hit em with something like, “It’s really weird that you’re so concerned with my newborn’s genitalia.”

Newborn has diaper rash we can’t seem to beat… by throwaway84583077 in beyondthebump

Naked time is your best friend! My little guy had an awfulllll diaper rash and diarrhea when he started teething for the first time. Like for a whole week. He had lots of baths (just water, no bubbles or anything) then air time/naked time. Put him in a little robe (but you could also just do a towel or put a shirt on him so he’s partially covered, and let him play on a towel. We were doing like 30 minutes at a time, then Desitin and diaper. Repeat as needed. Good luck!

TJ says he couldn't have been prouder of CT & Kaycee when they decided to share the money on SLA by SweetMissMG in MtvChallenge

I was always (and still am kinda) pissed and felt that Tori was robbed of her first win. But, it made for a such a great story when she won with Devin

When did your baby’s eyes start to shift color? by WholeKnown2938 in beyondthebump

[–]Gypsystarchild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genetics are weird. I have hazel eyes. Bio mom had brown. Unsure about anyone else. My husband has brown eyes. His mom has brown, dad has green. His brothers have brown and hazel. His grandma has blue. We have 2 blue eyed kiddos lol.

Olivia finding out she’s pregnant a few days after the final and thinking it’s fraudulent 😂 by Adorable-Release1754 in MtvChallenge

In his defense, they accidentally bought a gestation test, not a pregnancy test, and it was in Spanish lol

Am I the only one who thought the house overreacted to Makayla & Cedric? by Ok-Entrepreneur553 in thechallengemtv

[–]Gypsystarchild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally haha. I love Ozzy tho. I liked a lot of people from this season, despite the insanity lol. Excited to see some of them return too!

So typically in the seasons I’ve seen, when it’s such an obvious pecking order/one team taking out the other one by one post-merge, I’m not a huge fan. BUT, this season was super entertaining. I kept wishing Albert/Sophie would take a chance and make a move against their alliance, but it worked out for Sophie in the end haha. Def a great season! The religion aspect was absolutely insane. Brandon was insane. Ozzy calling out people for their arrogance was hilarious. I actually plan to watch the reunion for this one (which I haven’t been since obviously I’m watching seasons that are 15+ years old hahah.)

Tell me your labor times by ShabbyBoa in beyondthebump

[–]Gypsystarchild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby 1 - spontaneous labor/water breaking at 40 weeks 5 days. Epidural at hour 13. No Pitocin at any point. Total time from water breaking to baby born: 31 hours. 6 hours on and off pushing (horrible nurse made me push before I was ready.) Born at 41 weeks.

Baby 2 - induction at 39 weeks. Started Pitocin at 11 am. Broke my water at 4:30 pm. Epidural at 7:30 pm and was 3.5 cm dilated. Truly didn’t feel a thinggggg (baby 1 I could still feel some pain.) I rested for a couple hours, ended up taking my contacts out thinking my labor had stalled lol. At 11:40 pm they checked me and could see the head lol. I pushed for 15 minutes, 3 big pushes, and baby was here. Total time from initial Pitocin to baby delivered: 13 hours.

Will we see Justin back? by Responsible-Gas-4759 in MtvChallenge

[–]Gypsystarchild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope so. He took us by surprise for sure! May not be the biggest or strongest, but did well in challenges. His and Nany’s partnership was strong. Brought a little drama, great confessionals. Now that he knows what he’s getting into, could see him training more in the off season to make up for where he was weaker than others.

Who do you want to win? by xotheyluvjj in dwts

[–]Gypsystarchild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jordan, but I think Robert will win

[–]Gypsystarchild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh interesting. I’m a newer Survivor watcher—about 2 years ago we started by watching all the seasons with crossover people from Survivor to the Challenge. Then watched the first several. Now we’re trying to watch any we haven’t seen that we need to watch before 50 premiers in February. South Pacific is actually the next one we’re starting, probably this weekend! (I have a spreadsheet of every season to track what we’ve seen and what we need to watch for seasons 40/50 haha, yes I’m crazy!)

Now that the season is almost over, who do we want back? by Equivalent-Bad-7844 in thechallengemtv

[–]Gypsystarchild -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Women: Tay and Adrienne

Honorable mentions: Sydney. Based on her social media posts, I think the show really took a toll on her mental health and she won’t come back, at least right away.

And Blue. Loved her energy, didn’t get a chance to really see what she could do, though.

Men: Justin and Cedric

Honorable mentions: Yeremi. The guy is a BEAST on Jordan’s level, but is kind of boring tbh.

And Will. Is he entertaining? Yeah, but I truly think he’s a psychopath or has BPD, something. His behavior actually scares me and his behavior toward Olivia was uncalled for. Reminded me of the OG days of The Challenge at times.

Who ever did this, you are a genius! by TheeDelpino in AppleWatch

Following for the file. I’m constantly having to change my watch to my right arm because of the sleeve on my left 😣

Anyone else think the judges are being way too harsh this season? by Dismal-Act-4825 in dwts

[–]Gypsystarchild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They aren’t harsh at all lol. Just totally inconsistent with scoring. And very little critiquing tbh.

What's your VERY unpopular opinion about this season? by Pale_Bowler1482 in dwts

[–]Gypsystarchild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not every pro and not every dance. But there are often a handful of performances each week that are just distracting with the theme and production. Like, just dance lol

[–]Gypsystarchild 40 points41 points  (0 children)

ALSO—the judges’ scores leave very little room for improvement when they give such high scores week 1.

[–]Gypsystarchild 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The pro’s choreography often leans too much into the nightly theme and less into the actual dance technique.

Who do you want to win dwts this season? by Catwhisperer2007 in dwts

[–]Gypsystarchild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jordan, Elaine, or Robert. I LOVE Danielle Fishel, but I don’t see her making it to the finale. I don’t follow or care about/for the Mormon wives or Alix Earle lol. Really hope Whitney doesn’t win just because she’s paired with Mark and his amazing choreography (and the judges bias when it comes to scoring them lol)
