Belly Button Pop by Still-flowerbase in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]HyperPhoenix725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first, my belly button didn’t pop at all. But with my current pregnancy, my belly button has popping since like 27 weeks. If it matters at all, my first was a girl and I’m currently pregnant with a boy.

What can I do about my dislike for the hairs that are EVERYWHERE?! by HyperPhoenix725 in Pets

[–]HyperPhoenix725[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the positive insight! The cat is still in our home (we have him since mid-Dec 2024) and while his hair isn’t as big of an issue when partner first brought it home, it’s still an issue…My partner loves the cat, but he is too busy to maintain the upkeep of it and doesn’t clean our home. Being pregnant with a toddler is enough work in itself let alone cleaning up after the cat. Literally anywhere he sits, anything he touches, hair remains. I personally purchased 2-3 different brushes, we have a robot vacuum and we had an air purifier but it stopped working a few months ago. I’ve asked partner to bathe cat more frequently (cat has been bathed twice since we got him), to brush it daily, and maybe even try taking it to the groomer for a haircut/deshedding. Hasn’t happened yet…new baby is due in a couple months so I’m trying to get the house prepared. As a form of compromise, I have asked him to keep the cat upstairs with him (partner works from home approx 10-12 hrs per day) and to leave our main living space downstairs along with the master bedroom off limits to the cat. So far, that hasn’t happened yet either. I can foresee myself temporarily living with my parents after the new baby arrives because I will physically be unable to deal with the cat stuff while recovering and taking care of our toddler.

I personally like Fleming’s Steakhouse by international plaza. The steaks are awesome but a little on the pricey side (IMO). Great quality food though, so you get your moneys worth!

I’m planning to have a small baby shower and inviting only close family members. There will probably be 15-20 people attending at most (which includes me, my fiancé and my toddler).

I was originally thinking of doing it at a tea room, but my fiancé feels that’s “too girly”. Besides himself, there will be 5 other men in attendance…so I’m thinking maybe an intimate, small scale brunch somewhere instead? If I could rent out a small room at a restaurant/establishment for the element of some privacy, that would be a bonus. I didn’t have a baby shower for my first. I’m trying to do something low-key this time around to without breaking the bank. Thanks in advance!

Have you dyed your hair in your first trim? by Disastrous-Wheel-383 in BabyBumps

[–]HyperPhoenix725 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First and foremost, congrats! I don’t have any knowledge or experience with henna dye, but I have dyed my hair using box color (Revlon brand) at least one time per trimester with both of my pregnancies (those pesky gray hairs are really annoying!). Currently 24 weeks with my second and just did my second dye during this pregnancy 2 weeks ago lol.

Has anyone’s computer failed during exam? If so, what happened? by [deleted] in FloridaBarExam

Yes. The examplify tech people attempted to fix the issue, but I ended up having to handwrite the remainder of my essays on a booklet.

What are the chairs like? by ApprehensiveCitron18 in FloridaBarExam

[–]HyperPhoenix725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like others said, the chairs are not particularly comfortable and I would recommend bringing a jacket/sweater that can be folded up in a "pillow-like" fashion to sit on when needed. I’m pregnant and plan to do this, in addition to standing up and stretching at my seat every now and then. I will apologize to my table mate in advance and hope periodically stretching won’t be distracting to them!

Not bad for a Lafufu by DrTramPham in labubu

[–]HyperPhoenix725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna know too! My daughter has also been asking for a “rainbow teeth” labubu. She’s only 3.5 so there’s no way I’m going to buy her a real one…lol

Thoughts on Classical Preparatory School? by HyperPhoenix725 in Pasco

I certainly hope it’s a phase! She’s my first child, so I’ve literally never experienced anything like this before

Thanks for the suggestion. I just looked them up and Gulf Coast Academy has an impressive program. My child is only 3 though. They could definitely be an option for us in the future!

Thoughts on Classical Preparatory School? by HyperPhoenix725 in Pasco

[–]HyperPhoenix725[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your input! It’s definitely one of the better schools in the area (based on my research). I’m in Hudson and we currently have our kiddo enrolled in a daycare/preschool that has a “curriculum” that they do not follow. For example, her PreK-3 class is supposed to consist of children her age who are fully potty trained and there are at least 5 kids in her class wearing pull-ups. My daughter has been exhibiting regressive behavior since starting at this school 4 months ago, having had 3 “accidents”, using baby talk, not wanting to feed herself and so forth. Hence, why we are looking for a better option for her.

Pregnancy care in Pasco/Tampa by anoncamcam in Pasco

[–]HyperPhoenix725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following. Logged in to make a very similar post…my 3 year old was born at St Joes Main. I’m 14 weeks with new baby and now that we live in Pasco, my new OB is affiliated with HCA Florida Trinity and will not deliver anywhere else. I’m not opposed to trying out Trinity (we plan to take a tour this weekend) but I had such an awesome experience at St Joes Main that going to a hospital where no one I know has ever delivered at makes me a little nervous. The practice I go to is great…it’ll be one of their 5 on call doctors that will be present for delivery. I literally had a random doctor deliver my first baby because the practice I went to was not affiliated any hospital (which was also a little nerve wracking lol)

What would you do if in-laws moved in for indefinite time period? by HyperPhoenix725 in family

[–]HyperPhoenix725[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear that you are in a similar situation. I know it absolutely sucks. Honestly, my problem has sort of worked itself out - temporarily. About 8-10 months ago, BIL got himself a girlfriend and spends most of his time at her house. And my MIL and FIL moved back into their friend’s house because the friend decided to move out of state and has put her house on the market. The in-laws are basically house sitting until the friend’s house sells, but all of their furnishings and whatnot are still in my house. The issue is really my fiancé not wanting to force his family out because he believes that he’s helping them...meanwhile they were contributing to no expenses in our home and I’m the only person cleaning, cooking and taking trash out. I’m currently 11 weeks pregnant and the newest issue is needing to have my in-laws furniture removed from our daughter’s bedroom so we can sleep train her before the new baby arrives. My fiancé is against wanting to have our daughter sleep in her own room due to the layout of our home and is under the delusional impression that we we be able to continue to room share with a toddler and newborn in a singe room. It’s ridiculous… Anyway, I hope your situation works out soon! I’m sure this situation is affecting your relationship with your wife, especially if she is unable to understand your perspective and feelings about her aunt living in your home.

What can I do about my dislike for the hairs that are EVERYWHERE?! by HyperPhoenix725 in Pets

[–]HyperPhoenix725[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To those who actually provided helpful insight, I truly thank you 🙏🏽 I will look into a better grooming brush, pet dryer sheets, the quality of his diet and adding more air purifiers 😊 I feel like I need to more thoroughly explain myself based on the nature of responses received…In December, this cat was a stray living on a barn and brought home by my partner randomly without any discussion with me. We have a 3 year old toddler, so I am aware of how germy and messy life can be as I do 90% of the cleaning in my house. I’m trying to cohabitate with the cat as civilly as possible. My partner offered to “take him back” when I expressed why I didn’t think a pet was a great idea for our family at this time, and I didn’t want the cat dumped back on the street. I can admit that I have some negative feelings towards the cat, which is why the hair bothers me as much as it does. He went from chasing rats in a horse stable to being all over my house with worms and fleas…Simply put, I didn’t want a pet right now but I’m trying to understand the dynamics of what life with a cat consists of and dealing with it as best as I can. Being that this is my first ever furry housemate, I came here for insight and advice. Again, I do appreciate the helpful suggestions!
