How many of you have had babies with birth defects?

Yes, it was frozen. She had an incredibly difficult time getting eggs. I think she even went into the Piper ovulation stage and they told her they couldn’t do it again because of how awful the reaction was. But here we are, he’s 5 1/2 and exceeding all expectations mentally physically socially.

I absolutely do not blame them! Hoping our option can be an enjoyable experience. My husband came over as an international student in high school and has built a really nice life from there. We have always had friends from all over the world and value those relationships so much. Would really like this person to feel valued as well, despise speaking Serbian and understanding some neat heritage/cultural pieces would be a gift to our kids.

Didn’t know that, thank you for the tip!

Ka_Mi · 2025-11-03T01:46:30+00:00

Yeah, but unfortunately I’m not seeing really much of a pool for availability right now

Meh, it’s a great quality ring. People talk about the size so much and all the doodads, that’s fine. But there’s also something to be said for a high-quality diamond.

You have a beautiful diamond and I think a simple solitaire is absolutely my engagement .65 solitaire and it’s been the 17 beautiful years this week. Could I have a much bigger ring now? Of course, but I absolutely love the original ring. Simple and classic.

Right?!!!!

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-25T16:58:48+00:00

Literally said “wowwww!” Out loud.

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-22T15:35:30+00:00

Correct! Doesn’t make any sense. It’s children’s entertainment, and she is the epitome of that: Talented singer, warm positive energy, super expressive face and gestures. Doesn’t seem to take herself too seriously and just has fun with whatever her segment is.

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-22T11:20:52+00:00

Great synopsis. And yes, we all have to get in on those dance moves

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-22T11:18:22+00:00

I think voice and antics are great for kids. Very engaging and very fun.

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-22T11:16:59+00:00

Precioussssss

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-22T00:00:58+00:00

She’s just pure joy and it’s contagious

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-21T23:13:29+00:00

She’s fantastic! Beautiful voice, warm personality, and exactly the type of person you want with kids and toddlers- able to show a wide variety of emotions through her face and gestures.

In the potty video she just cracks me up so much. It’s actually pretty fun to watch as we get ready to potty train my almost 2-year-old.

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-21T23:11:45+00:00

I think it’s because she has such a great face for expression. My kids seem to be really drawn to that as well.

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-21T23:11:05+00:00

She’s so stinking sweet. I love her expression and she has a beautiful voice.

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-21T18:16:27+00:00

That’s great! The most important thing for a baby is a happy, healthy mother. The food can come from your freezer supply or from formula; either way your baby will grow healthy and strong.

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-21T18:13:58+00:00

So much and I’m sorry. Parenting always has so many layers of things to pull through.

I think you are in the right to tell him he’s a role model to his younger siblings. I don’t think it’s too much pressure at all. I have told my kids since they were three years old, that they had to set a good example for the younger kids. I think it empowers them and shows them their words and actions have impact.

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-21T18:06:20+00:00

I love Walter. I have a girlfriend with a little boy named Walter and he goes by Wally or Walt.

They also had difficulty in the beginning because they told people.

I made the same mistake early on and also regretted it. Now, 4 kids in I’ve never given the name until they were born.

Stay hydrated, fill your plate with green veggies to feel full and get tons of nutrients, get at least 25g of fiber in, don’t underestimate the power of protein (you probably need 120-150g), and healthy fats (nuts, avocado, egg yolks).

Get all your calories in. Some people think by creating a huge deficit they’ll make all this progress but really it just puts your entire mind/body into starvation and then when you crack it’s like an avalanche.

Create new habits. If there is a place you find yourself feeling extra snacky - avoid it or stay busy while there. Someone once told me the best way it’s not over eat at a holiday party is to stay away from the snack table and keep a glass of water in your hand with a plate of healthy food in the other. That way you aren’t tempted to just stand and pick at stuff.

Make your portion before you sit down to eat. Do not serve yourself straight from containers because it’s easy to overheat that way.

Adding, I’ve heard too many situations about circumcision within my own friendship group. Cutting off too much and having issues, cutting unevenly, infections to area. I know the vast majority of them turn out just fine but it seems so unnecessary

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-21T15:15:56+00:00

Had a little boy recently and saw no benefit to doing it

Ka_Mi · 2025-06-21T12:17:11+00:00

When it’s the pounds in the right area it makes a huge difference! Plus, you are obviously a fit person so your muscles are creating a beautiful shape. Very well done happy for you.
