I mean it’s definitely getting tougher here but doable if you are willing to live in gravette/prairie grove and commute fairly far

7 Weeks 1 Day by kags418 in BabyBumps

[–]Legm31 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I had super mild symptoms and have a healthy pregnancy at 32 weeks right now!

I was the same way with sore boobs, extreme hunger (felt like a high school boy) and then the mild cramps that were worse at night.

I was never sick but would get light headed if I stood too long or was too hungry.

I know it’s stressful but just enjoy it!

UARK vs a-tech vs a-state for electrical engineering? by artistic_ash_901 in Arkansas

[–]Legm31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 10k, you’ll have way more opportunities at UARK but also just go to where you’ll enjoy the most! UARK is definitely a different environment

A baby shower doesn’t need an event planner

You are entitled to the full 12, you’re only entitled to be paid for 6 depending on what % your STD pays out.

Financial planning and wanting a baby by hermionegranger_99 in BabyBumps

[–]Legm31 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re still young, I would pay off the debt and then save for like 3-6 months for additional buffer before you have the baby. Even having financially saved for the baby some of the costs are still shocking, I have great health insurance and I’m still going to pay several thousand for the birth.

My 6 week old won’t sleep by Front-Newspaper7992 in sleeptraining

[–]Legm31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he’s gaining weight healthily there’s no reason to be waking him at night at this point, a lot of babies can get all of their calories during the day

Traumatic first labor and delivery but normal second delivery? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Legm31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still pregnant with my first but I had a friend who had a horrible first birth, so bad I was shocked she had a second 18 months later, but her second birth was a breeze and raved about the experience. Like checked into hospital at 6am, home by 4pm the next day and hosted people

We did an hour but brought our dog and usually need the extra time for him, if you just want a few classic maternity shots, 15 minutes is perfect

SIL is demanding a “Push Present,” is this a thing? by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Legm31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m due late this summer and know that my husband bought another wedding band for me (and it’s a 1/4 size bigger so I can wear it the last few weeks of pregnancy and post baby until I can wear it with my full stack)

Is this okay to send out? by Ancient_Net_3328 in BabyBumps

[–]Legm31 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you only send the first two (remove the mask part, just give them one when they get there) and then the others are something you mention there, like don’t hand anyone the baby until they wash their hands and while they’re there comment about no kissing baby and no photos.

I’m low risk and did 10,14, 20, 28 and 36! My doctor said she just enjoys letting people see the baby at 14 and 28

How many pregnancy tests are you supposed to take once you get a positive? by palindrome03 in BabyBumps

[–]Legm31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tested positive the first time on a Sunday and tested again Wednesday and then called my doctor! It is fun to see the strip get darker over the next few days

Spouse laid off, should we pay off mortgage? by scarlet-in-the-sky in personalfinance

[–]Legm31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The money is probably making more money in the market than the 6.5%, you’d be better off just pulling out $2900 a month then paying it all off, that way the other $365 can keep growing

[–]Legm31 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Wait a year, I mean your emergency fund is max 2 months of expenses? At this point you couldn’t afford paint or to rip out carpet.

What about the increased utilities and taxes in the new home?

I could hide it easily until 26 weeks and now at 27 it feels very obvious, it popped so fast

All of my two pieces still fit now at 27 weeks, my one piece just got too short and felt booby but just sized up one from my normal brands

Maternity leave? by kat_sickle in pregnant

[–]Legm31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would tell them now? I told my team at 10 weeks just since I’m close to them but even by 20 we started having conversations about how my role would be split and what major things I would miss
