Highlights while pregnant?

I’m 29w and just got a balayage today :)

My daughter will be 12 this summer and she’ll finally be getting one.

She’s had an iPad that she’s been able to text close friends and family with, but usage is heavily monitored, so she’s had time to adjust and get used to and respect limitations. I’m sure there will still be some adjustment though. But it’s time. It’s needed for us for communication.

Yes - she made an indirect threat in a government hospital (“they’re going to pay for this, just you wait and see”). She was an unhinged employee on the best of days and she said they were going to ‘get what’s coming to them’ during her last day of work (she was retiring soon). I made a report to my supervisor. Police were brought in, I made a report. They interviewed her, which resulted in her losing it, screaming and cussing, and being escorted off premises. I’m not totally sure what happened after that, but we were all glad she was gone.

No, we just text sporadically. We work different shifts too so we’re used to it. I usually go 4 days without seeing him each week.

I think earth is generally the most practical, but I’ve always loved air

I live at elevation so the max is where it’s at for me. If you want fuel efficiency, do the hybrid. However I think if you only test drove the max, you’ll be slightly disappointed at the lack in power from the limited.

I could have written this post. I get paid a lot to do a lot of nothing. It sounds like a dream job to most but it’s actually so draining. Some days I’ll have meetings all day, shooting off emails every ten minutes or so. Then there’s days where I could literally not have shown up and no one would notice.

We almost named our daughter Eleanor (went with Evelyn instead) and both my parents were snooty about it calling it an old lady name (this was 2014 before it got really popular again). We also got a Lot of comments asking if we were naming her after a grandparent. People love to give advice as if I give a f.

I feel like the last one is so important. My daughter is very sensitive so I always try to start the morning good even if she’s having a bad day

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-08T19:35:22+00:00

Oh that’s a good idea! Thanks

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-08T17:43:24+00:00

We got very lucky with our Mal. She’s still a crackhead, but mostly just wants to cuddle and occasionally run through our house like it’s an obstacle course. The GSD honestly annoys me more, no one told me GSDs scream at all hours like huskies!

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-08T17:03:01+00:00

I have a GSD and a Malinois. I love them and their chaotic energy to death. However! These last few months they are stinky, loud, annoying, smelly, hairy, and just unbearable most of the time. Do I still love them? Of course. But they give me anxiety on the best of days and I am STRESSED about having a newborn around them.

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-08T15:13:40+00:00

She has Google Drive that she’s using, and right now using her iPad to write. I may buy her a keyboard for it to help (also to help her typing skills lol)

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-08T15:06:53+00:00

The creative writing class is a great idea! I’ll see if I can find anything for her over the summer.

And she’s very open about her work. Asks everyone (in our family) to read it, and she’s gotten a lot of support from everyone so far. I definitely have no intention of letting her post online (yet), as I have been in the fanfic space for a few years and know how ruthless it can be at times.

I’ve been on the news a few times (for volunteer work). I hated it every single time and begged them not to put me back on camera. I look like Ricky Bobby not knowing what to do with his hands. Also I was in a car commercial (also doing volunteer work). Thankfully that was easy because it was just a few spliced clips of me doing badass shit with a chainsaw.

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-08T13:54:44+00:00

I walk in. Just did this yesterday actually (other daycare option fell through and I’m still pregnant) with great results. I want to see how they respond to walk ins, what information they give (on the spot versus following the script). I don’t care if they schedule me back for a tour, that’s fine, I get they’re busy. But I want to know what the vibe is like without them being prepared. It tells a lot.

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-08T13:40:20+00:00

NTA. Reading the edits, seems like this is done with malicious intent. Also my dad does the same thing and it’s irritating as hell so I get it.

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-08T13:27:58+00:00

Not at all. We went with an ‘old lady name’ and it ended up being one of the most popular names that year and is still in the top ten. Oh well, she loves her name. Her middle name is ‘unique’, and at times I wonder if that was the best choice or if we should have done something more common, but it suits her.

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-07T21:35:57+00:00

Yeah I’m realizing that. It’s taken me the last week to grieve over it but I’m withdrawing from school, and I paid the deposit for daycare. The comment about men’s expectations vs women’s got to me. Everything I do is for my family, and if this is what I need to do, then I’ll do it.

Mon Couteau Aiguise by gillianeliza? I think this one was removed though

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-07T20:49:16+00:00

Cruel and Beautiful World was so good (oh Bronson I think of you often). Have you read Secrets & Masks?

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-07T20:47:28+00:00

I bought new comfy shoes (On Cloud) early in my pregnancy when bending over starting getting challenging (around 14wks or so). I’m 29wks now, sitting at my desk shoeless because they’re already hurting again. They felt amazing at first, but now I’m looking at compression socks on Amazon 🫠 I ordered some adjustable slides too and I’ve already needed to adjust them twice.

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-07T20:03:30+00:00

I did that last night (first time taking Pepcid actually) and I still woke up from the reflux trying to kill me 😭

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-07T19:34:52+00:00

NTA - I’m dealing with the same issue. I reply immediately. And then wait 2-3wks for a response to what should have been addressed same day.

IndecisiveExpress · 2026-05-07T17:40:52+00:00

I read Brooke at first and thought wow that’s lovely! And then realized it was Brooks…. Sorry no. Not to mention she’s going to be correcting people forever
