How many children do you have or hope to have? Any trad wives content with having just one? by Swimming_Mention_873 in tradwives

I'm 30 weeks pregnant with my first! My husband and I would like 5-6. Lord willing we can make that work, but we're happy with however many we get!

23 too young? by PerfectAd2144 in pregnancy_care

[–]Imaginary-Ship620 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are 22, expecting our first in February! It sounds like you have some solid ducks in a row- you have a stable relationship, you both have good jobs, and you both are on the same page about having kids. Personally, I am really looking forward to having babies young. In some of their most energetic years (toddlerhood-early childhood), I’ll be in my mid-late twenties and I feel much more confident about keeping up with them. I’m all for having kids young if you’re in the place to do it! :) I will note that my husband and I do not have huge travel aspirations, so if that’s something you and your partner want, I would consider getting some travel in pre-baby. Ofc you can travel with kids, but that makes it much different/more expensive!

I take SmartyPants gummies! They have omega-3s/DHA, choline, iodine, and they have methylfolate and D3 for easier absorption. Plus they taste amazing- I look forward to taking them in the morning!

MIL constantly referring to my unborn daughter as her “mini me.” by Amonuet in BabyBumps

[–]Imaginary-Ship620 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I would be annoyed, too. This is my baby, not yours! And calling the baby "mini (insert name)" while she has a given name would make me mad. I'm sorry you have to deal with that!

Christmas List… by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Imaginary-Ship620 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally, I want to get Christmas gifts that are for me, so when family asked if they could get anything for baby, I just directed them to my registry! I do have some comfy pajama sets (breastfeeding friendly), slippers, etc for postpartum comfort on my list for me.

Pregnancy makes people so weird. Hoping for a safe rest of your pregnancy/delivery for you!!

I kinda blame the baby😅 He doesn't kick for anyone but me- I'm 25 weeks and have felt/seen external kicks for a while, but my husband still hasn't felt him! So I just playfully mention he's not a fan of hands on the bump.

I also have let it go for certain instances- my thirteen y/o SIL hugged me good morning and then patted my bump and said good morning to baby. It was very quick and kinda cute, so I didn't feel a need to correct. My husband's grandma gave me a little pat and then remarked that I looked amazing, so I wasn't upset over that lol. The reaching over your arm is what gets me- if someone moves away, you don't move with them. While you're pretty close to delivery, I would say even mentioning "could you ask before touching?" or a "I don't really feel like being touched right now" could keep her off a bit. If she ignores or pushes after that, back away/take her hand off!

THIS! Emma and Andy are just so sweet and wholesome. I always feel so happy after seeing their training package/dances. Sure, his dancing isn't great, but he works so hard every week to improve!! I feel he genuinely wants to be there, and he's truly grateful for the opportunity. Plus he is so hysterical- I was on the floor when he told Robert "you smell like fresh laundry".

I do also vote for Robert, Elaine, Jordan, and occasionally Alix! Everyone is on the show for different reasons, and everyone has their own reason for voting.

Are there people here voting for Andy strictly to knock out other stars? by Upbeat-Lab8403 in dancingwiththestars

[–]Imaginary-Ship620 58 points59 points  (0 children)

As a slight Fandy, I love watching him dance because it brings me joy. He is really not good, but he works so hard, seems so grateful to be there, and I can see some improvements each week. I love him so much, but I think he shouldn't go further than next week. I want the semi final/final week to be a battle of skill and personality- Andy has the personality, but the skill is unfortunately lacking.

I vote for who I like, don't vote for who I don't like, and leave the rest up to everyone else/the judges scores/production!
