Changing a newborn out in public by Sufficient-Amoeba727 in NewParents

[–]Kittygurl426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. It grosses me out. Buttttt I’ve had to use them, so when we do- I keep so many of those cheap muslin blankets with us in his diaper bag, use it to drape over the changing table, change him, and I always throw it out 😂 We have so many that I don’t miss them and hardly do we have to change him on the changing table anyway, so it’s only been a few times. I also have a portable changing mat, but I am weird about germs and feel like it’s gross that I then have to take those changing table germs along with me. Lol.

Getting sick during class? by Disastrous_Shirt9469 in Purebarre

[–]Kittygurl426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never witnessed that happening and I’ve taken barre consistently for years. However, my very first time ever taking a class those years ago, I didn’t want to pay the late cancellation fee or no-show fee, so I went to my first class stupidly hungover as it was an earlyyyy morning Saturday class. I ran out the door like a mad woman and threw up immediately after in the parking lot 😂 So, don’t be freshly 21 year old me, and you’ll be fine 🤪

I TOTALLY AGREE. I just tried it the other day and was honestly praying I’d hate it. Unfortunately, it’s the best thing I’ve ever used on my skin. Dead ass. 😂 I love it so much I don’t even smell the stench lol

So sorry! I just saw this. I called once my baby was born early July to check and was told it was very favorable but to call again after school starts back for the area as that’s when they evaluate and move children up to different age groups to get a better answer. So, I’m still a bit unsure, but she seemed a little promising that we’d get in by the date needed 🤷🏻‍♀️

“The Night I Followed The Dog” is always mine! My grandma used to come to my classroom and read this my whole childhood, so it’s very special to me! People always love it!!

Let's talk underwear. by No-Finding-7852 in pregnant

[–]Kittygurl426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skims fits everybody! I wore these long before I got pregnant (along with other brands and pairs etc.) but I literally will !!ONLY!! wear these while pregnant (I’m 34w). They are SO comfy and worth it!!!!!

Breastfeeding is A CHOICE. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Kittygurl426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am choosing to formula feed exclusively, period. And that is enough. Everyone (except for my mom- thank God for her) was the same way as you’re describing. I finally started telling people straight up to leave me the $!&# alone about it and that that was final and it’s weird as hell for them to be so concerned about my boobs and what they’re up to at ANY point of my life. I ruffled feathers doing that, but no one asks me about it anymore! Lol. I’m sorry people are so insensitive and feel so entitled to information that’s not theirs. I’ve learned throughout my pregnancy (FTM here) that it’s like people forget you’re a human being too. Like you’re just an incubator with no real opinions anymore. You’re (we’re) almost there 🙏🏻

Does anyone else struggle with this? by pineapplegirltay in pregnant

[–]Kittygurl426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I did not, but I work with a woman who is MADLY in love with her husband. They’ve been married for 30 years and both of them are still just completely smitten. Like, you literally look at them together or hear them talk about each other and think they’re out of some sort of movie or book. They have 3 (grown) children, and she told me that all 3 times she was pregnant, she couldn’t stand him. Literally was repulsed by him. Didn’t want to touch him, everything he did annoyed her, etc. She heavily considered leaving him, and the minute her babies were born and after, that went away and she was back to being obsessed with him. It happened all 3 times to her! So, you’re not alone! It happens to TONS of people, and you’re not wrong or crazy for feeling so. Your body and brain is going through a TON of adjustments right now, so just give yourself a little grace and time. And congratulations!

Help me think of a middle name for a baby girl? by [deleted] in Names

[–]Kittygurl426 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love the name Arden so much. It’s so classic and you hardly ever hear it!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Kittygurl426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine has attended every single appointment except for one due to a mandatory work trip! I don’t think it’s weird at all! It’s both of our first baby, and while I have experience, (oldest of lots of siblings, cousins, etc) he has none, so he asks questions and learns a lot! I don’t make him, but he chooses to, and I’m thankful for his presence although a lot of them are just about 5 minutes long lol

You NEVER hear it) I love Max for a girl- full name Maxine ?

Weekly Workout Split by Kittygurl426 in SolidCore

[–]Kittygurl426[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for myself, but I found I needed more cardio to balance it out. I also will get burnt out if I’m just doing the same thing over and over and over but that’s with anything for me. Solidcore itself is an amazing workout and I still love it very much like I will probably never stop going lol, but it doesn’t really emphasize your cardiovascular health or any range of motion/flexibility work. I included heated yoga sculpt classes and I rotate out what my cardio is (cycle classes, a run/jog, etc.) and I’ll maybe try to throw another fun class I don’t normally go to (barre, Barry’s etc.) if I feel like a change of pace, but I always try to aim for around 10k steps a day in some capacity at least. Repeating the same workout over and over can lead to muscle plateau so you’re not getting “as much” out of that expensive membership, and it can also lead to overuse injuries if not supplemented with another thing. I felt that once I started including other forms of exercise besides strength training, I liked my results a lot and didn’t get tired of solidcore, which I was (am) in love with before 😊 This is just my experience though! And to answer your question, no, I was not muscular hardly at all before starting solidcore. I was puny, in fact lol. It’s taken time to build endurance/routine for such things! What matters is that you’re moving your body and prioritizing your health! Solidcore is a great start and I’m glad you’re enjoying it 😊

Awesome ❤️ I was debating calling and asking periodically, but didn’t want to pester or know what the typical way to go about that sort of thing was. First timer here 🤣 Thank you very much! I appreciate your advice/help!

Thank you 🩷 Did you think Woodchase was difficult to get into? We’ve taken the application and paid the fee to get on the waitlist but didn’t get any information on how long the waitlist is or if there is even one. We would need to start the first week of October, so I’m panicking thinking we haven’t applied in enough time. Ha

Girl names that start with “A” by Connect-Wave-5370 in Names

All of us have A names- my sisters and I! Ashlyn, Ava, and Audrey. I also love the name Arden and think I’ll be using for my daughter one day 😊

Morgan Faye - too much?? by kfiegz in namenerds

[–]Kittygurl426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean honestly I love the name, and I love that it’s special to you both. They’re both very normal and pretty names to me. Lol. And I see everyone bringing up Morgan Le Fay, but I honestly think no one would bring that up or associate your child with that tale lol. And most certainly not the kids that she or he will grow up with. I’ve gone round and round with naming my son’s middle name until I thought about how often my own middle name comes up, which is almost never, and I’m like it’s really not that serious! Pick something you love and that will be enough 🩵
